Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse - Jacksonville (FL)

5 /5 Michael Davis: What ended up being our second choice will now be our first choice! It was an unplanned date night, I decided that afternoon that we should go out for a nice dinner at a Brasilian steak house. The first one we went to was so busy (being a Friday night in December) that their wait time was about 45 minutes. We called up Fogo de Chão and they told us the had no wait, so off we went. From the time we walked in and were greeted, everything exceeded our expectations. We’d been here once before, but this night seemed like it was extra magical. Jorge greeted us and would also be our server. He was pleasant, very informative about the food and drink options, and was attentive without being intrusive. He and the rest of the staff, including Issac and the manager Ansley were all very gracious and welcoming. The food, of course, was amazing; that should be a given. But honestly the experience is what really won us over. We weren’t just served a meal; there was a genuine connection made, and I’m certain that the next time we go back our new friends will remember and welcome us with love and more great food.

3 /5 Phia Velasquez: We had a wonderful lunch. We enjoy the salad bar. The variety of meat was great. Its just there not accommodating on "well done" options not like TDB that they go extra mile. Soup option is also limited to 1. Love the Christmas decorations and the wonderful Christmas tree. Ambiance was classic fine Dinning style. Service are good. Price is the typical buffet range. Which is about $ 50-100 per person. Overall we had a wonderful Christmas lunch. ...

3 /5 Kervin Isaac: Pros: The food was alright, not amazing but the atmosphere makes up for it a little. The meat was decent and the spread was alright. They definitely had options but it definitely wasnt worth the cost. Cons: The bowls werent clean. Take your finger and run it along the plates and you can tell they havent been properly cleaned.The other servers were kind of nice but we came at a time where it wasnt busy and it took our first server 22 minutes to come back, we timed it. We saw another person just waiting for someone to come back for at least 30 minutes.

4 /5 kathryn: First time at this location we had to wait a while as the hostess was talking a long call to be greeted. We were not able to sit outside and had to sit in the very busy dinning room. The hostess took our drink order and said the wait staff works as a team which was confusing as we kept having to wave people down for things, check on our seafood or check on drinks. The woman’s restroom is not in good shape. Door in first stall doesn’t close right, Went to put my purse on the hook, it’s off the wall. The sink was cracked and dirty. Just not what we are used to experiencing at FOGO. We have been to locations all over the US. Food was great and drinks were great. Just expected better service and restroom conditions.
