| - There are a handful of Brazilian churrascaria restaurants in Las Vegas, and I have tried four of them to date. After a recent meal at Fogo de Chao, the newest member of Las Vegas' Restaurant Row on E. Flamingo and the latest (possibly the greatest) Brazilian BBQ hot spot to open in Sin City, I am very happy to recommend to all meat lovers living and visiting Las Vegas to make an obligatory pit stop at Fogo de Chao during your stay.
And here are the list of reasons why:
1) The value is unbeatable! At $44.50 for dinner ($22.50 salad bar only) or the amazing promotional value of just $26.50 during lunch ($19.50 for salad bar only) it will be the best steakhouse meal you can have, without being $7/side to death.
2) The servers are actually the cooks/chefs that prepared the cut of meat they are serving. They are intimately knowledgeable about the food they serve you, and which part is your desired steak doneness, so you can fully enjoy your food.
3) The salad bar is huge and stocked with top of the line items (giant extra fancy Hearts of Palms, artichoke hearts, a whole wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano!), some you perhaps will not even recognized because it is not typically served on a self-served salad bar. (The salad bar only option is perfect for those that are not too carnivorous). Although I will say that the salad bar selections are not as extensive as some others in town, which can be viewed positively (more room for meat!) or negatively (dude, where's the fillers I am used to getting full on at XYZ churrascaria).
4) The wine selection is extensive, and smartly organized in their beautiful display case for speedy access and service.
5) The best chicken (secret is the overnight marinade in brandy, beer and other seasoning) before being rotisserie roasted over hickory fire to perfection. And this is not even a "chicken" place.
6. New Zealand Lamb! Served as whole roasted Leg of Lamb or Racks of Lamb.
7) All steaks served are Angus beef and wet aged, always fresh and never frozen!
8) Multiple private rooms available (all hooked up with A/V setup) for corporate and special occasions functions. NO DEPOSITS required, charged per person, and is available on a first come first serve basis.
9) Will offer brunch on special holidays, such as Mother's Day.
10) Service is very attentive, drinks are frequently refilled. Service for the meats can feel somewhat overwhelming at first, but you can always turn over the GO/STOP card until you want more.
Ambiance: 4.5/5 Very spacious and up scale. Private rooms are stylishly decorated.
Service: 4.5/5 Very friendly and attentive. If you have any requests, just ask the staff.
Food: 4.5/5 Heaven for BBQ meat and steak lovers. I can see a lot of lost business opportunities at other steakhouses in Las Vegas, once words spread about Fogo de Chao. Salad bar is respectable for a steakhouse, and everything is essentially top of the line and fresh, without the steakhouse a la carte price!
Price: 4/5 Dinner
5/5 Lunch
Parking: 4/5 There are self parking spots available, as well as complimentary valet parking.
