Of the Corporate Chain Churrascaria's it is the best overall

I used to travel extensively across the US. And I have eaten at the original 2 in Sao Paolo as well.

Best 10 years ago in US was Plataforma in NYC Probably still is.

Ate recently at a new place in Boston Alma Gaucha and it was not good high end disappointment Don't know how you mess up picanha but it was awful.

So, is Fogo de Chao legit?

Very expensive. Tasty yes.

Surely it’s better than Rodizio?

More formal/fancy and a step up.

Do you like gluttonous amounts of meat? If so, it's legit

Best of all the Brazilian places, but also the most expensive

The best is Chama Gaucha in Chicago & San Antonio. Fogo is a strong #2

I like Tucanos a lot more. But if you don't have one Fogo is really good.

Expensive? Meh…it’s $70 and all-inclusive for prime grade meat.

That’s a steal compared to Ruth’s Chris, Delmonico’s, etc.

It is a legitimate churrascaria, but not cheap. It's served churrasco style.

No grilled pineapple, but great.

They do have grilled pineapple, but they bring you some on a plate instead of slicing it off.

I've asked and they have not had it. Last time was in Manhattan a year and a half ago

I ate there last Thursday night and they brought it to us. At the Las Vegas location.

My experiences with Fogo have been very mediocre

I’m in Vegas and considering checking it out tomorrow.

I'd pass, it's not that great in Vegas. Also, if you get the wrong time

Seconding this. The Fogo in my city also had a "party" reputation on weekends

I've really liked Juan's Flaming Fajitas in Vegas (two locations, both good)

Galpo Goucho is the better option in Vegas.

I like Tucanos more, but not by a lot. Its excellent and good if you watch carbs.

I just went over the weekend. It's good, but I did not like how they handled our large group. As soon as we were ready

Unfortunately, that's a tactic that they use to keep people from eating too much

Especially at the las Vegas location which does a lot of corporate groups in town for conventions. We were a group of
