Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse 1337 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107

"I didn't think I'd be back after my awful first experience here in Dec 2022, but here I am, back after an entire year. I would say my second visit was a lot better than my first visit, so my rating has increased from a 1-star to 3-star. The first time I was here in 2022 left a bad impression. I was told this is unlimited food and the servers/carvers/staff (not sure what to call them) continuously come over and you get so full with food because it's a continuous service. Our visit was bad because they only came to our table about 3 times on their own. We were left waiting for someone to come around to our table more times than we actually had meat. We had to flag down people and had to continuously ask that someone come to our table. I didn't think I would ever be back because our 2-hour visit left me more hungry at the end than when we entered. A year later, I found myself back here with a different group, and I would say it was definitely a better experience. We had continuous service and felt pretty taken care of. Only caveat is that our server never came back after seating us and taking our initial drink order, so we were left parched because we ran out of drinks and water (we had bottled still water that was never refilled), and we wanted dessert but the server never came back so we didn't get dessert. Also, in our initial drink order we had included a soda, but we never received the soda, yet were charged for it. It's not a perfect place, but it's okay as a treat until you discover other Brazilian steakhouses."

"This place was so clean, the staff was friendly & the environment was lovely. I went here with my husband for our 6 month anniversary & it was great. They gave us a free dessert & even wrote the "happy anniversary" on there. That was so nice of them, I can't wait to visit again. Was recommended by my in-laws."

"Our experience was mediocre. This is an all you can eat spot in center city. I recommend making reservations as the place was packed. It took 20 minutes to be seated from our original reservation time. This may have been due to the holiday weekend. Service seems non existent at times. Dirty plates were left on the table for a bit. For the price you pay, I feel like they don’t come out with enough meat. There were times we had to wait 5-10 minutes between meats. The meats tasted a cheaper quality, and they also lacked flavor. The star of the show was the salad bar and the most redeeming quality of the meal. I thought it was one of the most unique and fresh bars I’ve seen in a while. They had a great variety of salads. I actually preferred filling up on this over the meat. Overall, I don’t feel like it’s worth the price for AYCE and probably will not return."

"Really nice weekend brunch! Salad bar was bountiful, organized and clean. Army of friendly, attentive servers who were there whenever you needed something at the exact moment you needed it. The chefs arrived with a rapid fire parade of delicious steak, chicken, pork, etc. as soon as you flipped your card to green. My favorites were the ribs and the Parmesan pork! Would definitely come back."
