Fogo De Minas Brazilian Steakhouse, Sacramento CA

Fine dining at its best. What an awesome white linen restaurant. Staff was amazing. Food was beyond. The lamb was the best I ever had in my entire life. This is a buffet style so bring your appetite. Definitely a unique and worthwhile experience.

A meat lovers dream! My friend Steve Rabago & I had the Lunch buffet. Attentive staff stopped by our table constantly and carved us slices of the most flavorful, tender, roasted steak, ribs, chicken & lamb off giant sewers. I ate a variety of meat for an hour!
I found out you can opt to have any of their meat offerings as a sandwich. Can't wait to try their steak sandwich!

Perhaps one of the very best Brazilian steakhouses in the area. Charcoal-grilled meat and not marinated in brine. Please provide water as soon as guest sits on the table and let them ask if they prefer bottled or sparkling water.

Every single thing that was brought to our table was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly and available. I had never been to a Brazilian Steak House before and I would recommend it to anyone who is curious but unsure, if you like meat (and grilled pineapple) then you will not regret it!

Came for date night and this place is pretty fire the meats were all excellent, I can understand some of the reviews saying the food was too salty, but that may be true only for low sodium diets. I think the meat was seasoned well (near the borderline of over seasoned, but not quite there). The customer service was amazing; even after a faux pas or two on our end, the staff remained patient, kind and helpful. There are only a couple reasons I can’t give it 5, one reason being THE HEAT. I understand it’s a grilling establishment and the heat from the grills will always raise temps, but I think this business has been around long enough to know to adjust the temp accordingly, especially on 100+ degree days. Temp was fine upon arrival around 6, but about 45min - 1 hr into our dinner, we were sweating profusely, which is mostly why we left rather than from being full from the all you can eat. Another issue is the “non-cash payment fee”. I read about this in previous reviews so made sure to ask for a receipt and yup, they definitely overcharge you if you’re not using cash (which is not common post-COVID). This was a bit troubling as the prices are on the high-end already, so nickel-and-diming customers to cover their own card payment fees doesn’t sit well. Ended up lowering my tip accordingly to account for the fee, so management should heed the multiple reviews saying the overcharge shouldn’t exist, as you’re ultimately hurting your own hardworking employees. The cocktails are also delicious but questionable as to whether they actually had alcohol in them or not, and they will melt extremely fast due to temps. All in all, it was a good experience but I probably wouldn’t come back for dinner time as we never saw the “16 meat options” that they claimed to have, we only saw the same ~8 dishes come out multiple times, so lunch time might be better priced for what you actually receive.

Way over priced. The salad bar sucks, and it $30.you have to pay $60 to get the grilled meat. Might be good but doesn’t seem worth it. Reviews must be fake. Skip this one, it’s a bait and switch!

This place needs 11 stars! I came here today with my husband for our anniversary (we made a reservation). From the time we walked in, it was outstanding service. Leo greeted us and sat us at our table, explained how the service works, recommended some drink options, and got us started. Then the gauchos came in with the meats! Every single one was so polite and patient. Especially Alfredo! Leo and Alfredo checked on us often and even made us laugh. Plus, since we noted on the reservation that it was our anniversary, we got a decorated cheesecake on the house (they give you a choice of cheesecake or chocolate cake at the table).

Tl;dr: Phenomenal service and out of this world food. The itis is taking me and I'm barely still awake as I type this, but we cannot wait to go back!

First time here. Food was AMAZING, i wish i was hungrier. Everything was delicious! Our server, Amber, was so awesome! She made the experience much, much better! Thank you very much! Dessert was super delicious!

Super hot? In here, the whole time I was sweating profusely. The staff did there best to accommodate so that was good. Food was excellent and on point each and every time they came around. I skipped the salad because I wanted to enjoy the delicious and Savory meats? They were offering. Staff was super attentive and the whole experience was definitely worth the $57 per person price point! We will Be retuning sooner than later.

Great place to tey out Brazilian food. The food and service is excellent. No waiting with the rotation of the meats. The staff is friendly and helpful in understanding the types of food if you are not familiar. The only ding I have is the restaurant is way too hot on the times I have dined here.

We had an excellent experience here! We had nice warm and tasty pao de queijo, they had a nice selection of pre made salads and greens, as well as some fruits and other sides like cheese and different dips available in the salad bar. The meats we had were so delicious and juicy, a new favorite for me in the area compared to other similar restaurants nearby. The meats came out quick for us as well! Love their pineapple and had 4 slices of that. Service was awesome and friendly! Def will stop by again!

Very good food and excellent service. The cook had a bit of a heavy hand with the salt, but the meat tasted better for it. I'm not complaining, but that might not be for everyone. Both waiters and the host who tended to us were very nice and always had a smile. We'll be back.

Stopped in on the way to the bay area since its not too far off the interstate. Salad bar was decent and fresh. All the meat brought by and served to us was pretty good with the exception of the pork sausage, which was dry. Overall it was a decent dining experience.

The salad bar is okay. A much better deal for lunch than for dinner. Servers were kind but seemed overwhelmed. Seated us 20 minutes after our reservation time. So, a bit miss managed, at least on the night we were there.

I love trying new places, I’ve lived in multiple cities over the past 2 years. My husband love Fogo de Chao and when we moved to Sac, we were disappointed that they didn’t have the restaurant here but we found this place instead. It’s okay to be similar to another restaurant but keep the experience better at least. Their staff is really friendly but they get two stars for the food and the price. It’s honestly not worth it for the $57 per person and the total was $130 for two people and we didn’t even get drinks. Everything looked cheap, the chair, the table, the whole ambience for that expensive price. Fogo de Chao is not even that expensive, it’s like $45. They don’t have much variety in the salad bar and the food seemed stale like it’s been sitting there for a hot minute. The meats…were rare, no offense to the chef but maybe put a thermometer in the meat before brining it out to the customer. We requested for medium rare and the meat that was brought out was very rare, i could small the rare meat, when I’m not even a carnivore. No, I’m Not coming back here, i would have to drive to San Fran for the real Fogo experience.

Oh my goodness! This place is awesome I went here on a first date and it went over beautifully. The food and service was excellent! Gabby was awesome! Full of smiles and her service was excellent! I highly recommend trying! I will definitely be back!

We went for the AYCE option. Most everything was great. We were sat right by the doors to the kitchen so we got first dibs at all the meats so that's a plus. We liked everything except the sausages (tasted fine but little too lean) and the lamb leg (needed to be cooked longer). The salad bar was pretty good too, not as extensive as others that I've seen, but what they did have was delicious. The restaurant itself looked pretty nice, bigger than you'd expect being situated in a strip mall. I liked the decor on the inside, not too bright in there. They also have outdoor seating. Our server was great, although the restaurant seemed to be short staffed for FOH so that's something to keep in mind. Overall I liked this place and would come back again when the mood for Brazilian Steakhouse strikes.

From out of town I stopped in for dinner not knowing what to expect. The food was great, the service spendid. I really enjoyed the lamb, which is marinated. The salad bar was excellent too. The staff was fantastic! Five Stars!

We took my mom for the first time on her birthday and we had a superb time. The meats were delicious and glazed pineapple was outstanding! Definitely recommend and we will go back. Thank you to all the staff members, they were awesome!

Pretty darn good meat selection and the waiters were coming out faster then I could eat! Next time I'm not loading up at the salad bar so as to make room for all the different cuts that I missed from being full =)
