| - Of all the Yelp promos I took advantage of during Yelp Spring Break, dinner at Fogo de Chão was the most memorable. This was my 1st time at Fogo de Chão or any Churrascaria, for that matter. I never knew what I was missing.
I made reservations, the girlfriend & I arrived on time, & we were promptly seated. Service was impeccable throughout. After we told the host that we were Churrascaria noobs, the manager personally came to our table & gave us the rundown.
In the most general terms, there are 3 food choices: some side dishes like cheese bread, mashed potatoes & polenta are automatically brought to the table; the salad bar; & the endless parade of meats brought directly to the table by the gauchos.
All of it is all-you-can-eat & all of it was outstanding. Most places with an all-you-can-eat salad bar stock that salad bar with lots of low cost filler. Not here. This Fogo de Chão salad bar had impressive Salmon & Charcuterie platters.
I made 1 visit to the salad bar & wanted to go back for more, but the meats the gauchos kept bringing were undeniable. That night, there were 16 varieties of beef, pork, lamb, chicken & sausage that were coming fresh out of the kitchen & being brought directly table-side.
It was a non-stop carnivore's carnal feeding frenzy of fleshly delights. So much meat. So good. So very good. Before coming to Vegas this time, I had decided this trip would be strictly "no buffets." But it was too late now & there was no turning back.
Fogo de Chão is awesome. The whole Churrascaria concept is awesome. Yelp is awesome for the Yelp Spring Break promo offer that got me to try Fogo de Chão for the 1st time. Sadly, there's no Fogo de Chão near home for me. But if I'm ever near 1 again, I'll definitely go out of my way to go back for more.
