I love it!

The salad bar.
The meat.
The Portuguese cheese balls.
The mashed potatoes.
The friend bananas.

All of it.

If they added (hot) naked, female Brazilian wait staff, it would be heaven on earth.

delicious, expensive, well worth it every once in awhile. I always make sure I tell the meat waiters that I want my meat medium rare.

I stay away from the salad bar so as not to get too full before the meat comes around.

Son of a Bitch. There's one of the Fogos like 4 blocks away from me. I'm definitely going to need to hit that up.

<---grew up on a diet consisting primarily of beans and now eats them regularly of his own free will. And not one of those panzy beans. I am talking about the ones that don't want to come out without effort...

about 50-60pp dinner, 30-40 for lunch.

(does not include drinks/tip/tax)

I've been to this one in San Diego.

I remember for 3 of us we paid $120 including tip.

I always remember it being $25 or $30pp. This was dinner btw.

I used to go all the time when I first moved to Atlanta, but after a while it really begins to really lose its appeal.

And it's not that expensive at all if you consider what you're getting. We used to take the whole office there (small company) after milestones on big projects and just let everyone get whatever they wanted. Not many other places where you can feel intoxicated from eating so much meat and alcohol at the same time.

It was $45.50/person when I went, not including drinks, tax, or tip.

Fogo de Chao is definitely pure awesomeness. Lunch is about half-price, and while the variety of meats isn't quite as robust, it's still enough to keep just about anyone happy.

As for the salad bar--it is most definitely NOT fail. The fact that there's meat on said salad bar is a testament to this fact.

I only went once, but I know that my life expectancy was cut that day. I had POUNDS of meat, took me 2 days and about 8 shits to recover.

I loved it.

Have always wanted to go to one but always forget. I'm a huge fan of nice steakhouses too.

Coincidentally, I just went for the first time on Friday too. Delicious.

They now have one in Indianapolis. I've been to the ones in Chicago and Miami - both of them left me in a food coma and not eating for the following 1.5 days. That place is amazing!

I ended up going to a similar place in Chicago and died from eating too much awesome meat.

Went there a couple of times. Meat was good.
But the problem with these kind of places is after a while all the meat starts to start tasting the same..
And afterwards I wont eat meat for a week or two
I still prefer a good quality steakhouse (peter luger, mortons, etc) compared to this.
But of course if you are super hungry the all u can eat deal is amazing.

Oh and I love the sausages, chicken wings, and the grilled pineapple!
