| - **Summary**
- Fogo is an authentic Brazilian Steakhouse chain. They bring the meats on skewers and cut it right in front of you.
- All the meats were, for the most part, medium to rare. They were super juicy and not too salted.
- My must haves would be the Picanhas, filet mignon (Not the one wrapped in bacon), and the beef ribs.
- Prices - Lunch and dinner have exactly the same menu! You're saving $20 just for eating earlier.
- Doneness - When the server cuts the meat for you, they give you a choice. However, it's usually between rare to medium. Just as a warning or a tip, rare is pretty rare.
- By Request - All the meats rotate regularly with the exception of the Beef ribs and the garlic beef.
- Decor/Mood - Classy and pampering.
**Price**
- $26.50 Lunch Mon-Fri 11:30am - 2pm
- $46.50 Dinner Mon-Thurs 5pm-10pm & Weekend
**Ordered**
- Salad bar - The smoked salmon is a must. Other than that, it's just salads.
- Costela - Beef ribs. They don't come around unless you ask for them. This is by far my favorite. They ribs have just enough fat in them.
- Filet Mignon - There are two types. The huge steak filet was so tender words can't describe. The bacon wrapped one looked dry so I didn't try it.
- Picanhas - House special and perfectly seasoned.
- Cheese Bread - This place definitely has the cheesiest meltiest in your mouth bread. When they come hot out of the oven, I just want to eat it plain.
- Beef Ancho/Alcatra/Fraldinha - Rib-eye/Top Sirloin/Bottom Sirloin. Cooked perfect and nice and juicy
- Cordeiro - Rack of lamb. Pretty good, but I'd avoid it next time in place of better meats.
- Costela de Porco - Pork Ribs. They were a bit dry and I'd stick to the beef ribs.
- Lombo/Frango/Linguica - Pork Loin/Chicken/Sausage. Didn't really try it.
- Garlic Beef - Didn't get a chance to try it. You have to request it. I found out too late.
**Comparing**
- If you've been to the other steak houses in town, here's a comparison section.
- Texas de Brazil - Texas is saltier, the salad bars are about the same. The meats are dryer at Texas.
- Via Brasil - Saltiness is about the same, the salad bar at Via has more hot foods and is more extensive. The meats are juicy, but Fogo has cuts that are more rare than Via.
- Sides - Via Brazil has the most choices and better fried banana. Texas and Fogo have a limited selection. However, Fogo has the best cheese bread.
- For lunch, nothing beats $26.50. It's hands down Fogo.
- For dinner, it depends. If you like your meats rarer, I'd say Fogo. If you like your meats more medium-rare to medium, it's a coin flip.
**Recommendations**
- I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a nice treat for a special occasion or in the mood for a ton of perfectly cooked and savory meats.
