It's very good we have gone several times and you know what to expect but some times you have to call on the waiters many times before they bring you the pice of meat you want

We had a nice 5 year celebration for several employees at this restaurant. Atmosphere was great. Nice salad bar, plenty of meat choices. One person wanted well done meats and the staff readily complied. Then we had a 5 year cake dessert with candles. Very special occasion. Well done.

I live in Houston, but I am from Brazil. So, when I compare this one to Brazil's Fogo de Chão, there is a big difference! They don't have farofa, chicken hearts or even French Fris (that definitely goes better with Barbecue than the mashed potatoes they serve). But the service is fantastic and so is the picanha!

Fogo de Chao is now a chain, but the location in Houston is one of the best in terms of quality and service. A truly excellent dinner in a great atmosphere, although a little on the noisy side. The bad news come when you get the check. Even for this level of quality, I think it is too expensive.

I cannot say a bad word about this resurant, the food, staff and atmosphere were excellent, however value for money was terrible. totally over priced for what it is. It is worth visiting just for the experience, however it may be a while before I can afford to return again.

Nice barbecue house offering the authentic Brazilian churrasco. The cheese bread and the Caipitinha are also very nice. The beef is well prepared and the Picanha was really tender. Nice place and good food for beef lovers I recomend

This restaurant came highly recommended on my trip to Houston. If you've never been to a Brazilian style restaurant then definitely come here. Waiters were continually floating by with different cuts... Sirloin, filet mignon, chicken, lamb. All were great. I recommend staying with the medium rare cuts as the well done cuts were a bit dry. The salad bar also... More

Just been there and feel like I am ready to explode! The food is plentiful and of outstanding quality, and flavour. The service is excellent, as soon as you turn that card to green they will appear with meat to offer! It is not cheap but well worth the price!!! Not a place to take young children as I don't...
