text: The so and I have been to several Brazillian steakhouses including Texas de Brazil Pampas and a few located in the San Francisco Bay Area I have heard of Fogo de Chao for several years but there was never a convenient location until I realized there is now a location in Vegas so we had to check it outnnVery typical setup as the other steakhouses we have been to as it features a buffet of various salads cheese cured meats and a few hot items such as rice potatoes and vegetables They also serve you a plate of plantains fried polenta and mashed potatoesthe instant kind not real mashed potatoes for the price you would pay you would think they would not skimp on quality The saving grace was their cheese bread it was seriously the BEST cheese bread from a Brazillian steakhouse we have had What nice is that they will refill it with a piping hot batch on requestnnThey had a variety of about a dozen or so meats varying from the traditional Picanha Top Sirloin Filet Mignon Rib Eye Pork Ribs Sausage Chicken wrapped in Bacon and other cuts of Sirloins They also had a Rib of Beef which is served cut from a cutting board but you have to specifically request it as it is not an item that they walk from table to table First off avoid the sausage and even the chicken you can eat that anytime anywhere If all you eat is the Rib of Beef do it it is the only super darn delcious cut of meat they offer With that said yeah the cuts of the various beef were lacking in flavor I almost wanted to ask for steak sauce Unlike other Brazillian steakhouses we have been to FdC did not serve Grilled Pineappleif you have not had it you are seriously missing out it just makes you enjoy the various meats even morennMy biggest gripe about FdC was the ambiance It was a nice typical white linen type of steakhouse However although I do understand the meat guys as I call them are running around from table to table there were just way too many wait staff walking around It made the dining experience slightly unnerving that you would get bumped into which I did get something spilled on you almost happened but observed it happening on the dining room floor twice and just sheer pandamonium It seriously was like a sea of people dressed in white shirts running around like chickens without heads We have never experienced that at any Brazillian steakhouse we have been to There was even a guy pushing a cart of liquor from table to table which added to the chaosnnWhen we got our check we skipped using the plastic left cash instead and seriously beelined out of there Sorry cannot say we will be back
