"Service was less than mediocre. There were so many, many wait staff that attempted to correct the many issues we had over the course of our 3 hour dinner for nine including the manager however, none were resolved. Issues include: meat cooked to specify temperature that’s the entire idea of the restaurant! We have been to many Brazil restaurants throughout Houston and always accommodated. From well done med just fine. For some reason; they could not get it straight even after 12 requests over the course of the night by several in our party to several staff/managers. Keeping beverages topped off. They just do not do it unless you ask for it. Then good luck tracking down one of the abundant staff members they have working…idk?!? Bread, sides, desserts…all I can say is get ready to wait; again because you could possibly be finished with your meal before you receive your request. We wait 38 mins for dessert then when we asked the manager about it; within 2 4 mins it was on our table. I am pretty sure it was forgotten. I’m all about giving people grace, understanding Covid related issues frustrations. This was not that. This was inadvertently trained staff and a manager attempting to hold it together. When my husband finally had enough and was embarrassed by the happenings at our party and then being treated like this; the manager said I completely understand your frustration let me talk to my “superiors”? What? Superiors? Wow what are they running there? My husband said no waiting a minute I’m NOT looking for anything free, I’m trying to let you know all the issues we had. That’s it and bring it to your attention. He raced off to his “superiors “ and said he could send us home with some meat. We were astonished because (1) it was already stated we are not looking for anything (2) WHAT, we wanted the food DURING our meal WHILE we were eating, not at home! Anyhow, it could have been an off night; maybe but I’m not sure, I don’t think so!"

"The El Segundo location is a very different vibe than the location on La Cienega. The dining room is very crowded. I mean packed. Like uncomfortably packed. When they employ outside dining, they leave the door open and it can get cold inside if you sit by the door. When the place is busy, maneuvering around the sides bar can be a challenge given the people and the children who don’t pay the most attention to surroundings. The food is okay. I did note the lack of premium cuts on rotation versus other locations and similar concepts. The chicken legs and sausage was much more frequent then the picanha or sirloin. It was clear that a thorough job is not done when turning tables. During our meal, i apologized to my daughter for what I thought was a errant kick. When she said I didn’t touch her, I looked under the table to find broken glass, utensils and a few napkins. If we were wearing open toed shoes, someone would have been cut and it couldn’t been bad. I spent over $450 on this experience for three adults and one kid, and to be honest, it was not worth it. It seems as if the restaurant was trying to push the cheaper proteins and don’t bother cleaning up the place between diners. It’s about butts in seats to make the most money per seat per night. I love Fogo and I really wanted this experience to be special, but walked away disappointed."

"Saturday September 9 was my girlfriend's birthday, both her mother and I drove 4 hours from 2 different locations to be with her. Our service at this establishment was absolutely horrible. I designated myself as her driver and made it know to our server while being seated. Our waiter, Braiden, started flirting with my girlfriend as we were seated. Then he cut her off on her drink after 2. He demanded that she drink 3 glasses of water before he would serve he another drink, but he would never giver her time to finisher a glass of water before he kept filling them back up. These thing made her very upset, for me if was the disrespect of our server to act unprofessional and insist on the flirting. All these things were made know to the manager on duty but it was still not enough. The damage had already been done and the night ruined. The next waiter that we received did the very same thing and started flirting with my girlfriend. What kind of employees do you hire? Are they trainer to go hit on every pretty girl with their family present? It sure did seem that way to me. I am extremely upset because I paid over $400 for this meal and our whole not was ruined. My girlfriend was devastated by the actions of your employees. This was so unprofessional and can't believe that we were treated in such a manner. We could have got better service at McDonald's, but wanted to take her to nice restaurant. Instead it was a disaster. Please tell me why I spent so much money for disappointment? I really need an answer."

"At first I thought it’s because we are Asians that’s why in a span of 30 minutes, we only had 2 servers come to our table; first was the lamb where we were given just 1 tiny slice at the bottom of the stick (cuts were already made at the center); 2nd was the chicken. And they deliberately avoided our area. How did I know? I was observing all the servers and their trend because given the coasters to be used for the stop and go protocol, nobody dared come close to our table UNLESS WE BECKON THEM to do so. And they came only twice to our table. The 3rd one was for the banana. I raised my complaint to the managers and had servers coming after a few minutes. My point is, had I not complain, would they still come to our table? Aren’t they supposed to be briefed before opening time that they were SUPPOSED to go around the ENTIRE DINING AREA and look for those GREEN COASTERS? That’s the whole premise of the Churrascaria experience, right? I refused to pay $62 for a disastrous Churrascaria experience for my son. This is not how it’s supposed to be having had the Churrascaria experience in Manhattan in 2002. He was only 4 months old then. Mr Seth McCamm, duty manager, handled my disappontment rudely; without even offering a personal apology by coming to our table. Kindness was under the pretense of making the meal and drinks free. Funny thing is, we didn’t really have a meal aside from the Market Table offerings which are so-so. I don’t have any problem paying for an expensive meal OF OUR CHOICE. But please, don’t shortchange us. We try to live our lives through honest living. I hope this branch does the same to ALL their clients from hereon. The reviews for this restaurant shows the trend of their service which is either too high, or too low. Extremes from 2 sets of diners. The billing, the reservation, the service, manners and politeness are very disappointing EXCEPT for MS GIGI and AMYAH. KUDOS to their genuine effort to make things better for everyone."
