Fogo de Chão - Nashville

The food was amazing and they were very understanding if you wanted a different meat temp and it’s great that you can request specific meats if you don’t see anyone with what you want. My one and only complaint was that I wanted more meat but my partner did not (my card was green his red) and I didn’t get any service until I told my partner to flip his card over and then we started to get service again. I’m not a fan of being ignored hopefully it was because we were in a corner (even though the height difference of standing and how low tables are I’d assume you can see a green card) but it did make me feel a type of way that my partner had more attentive service. Other than that it was great and will come back again!

Celebrated my birthday here with a group of fifteen and everything was perfect. The service was spectacular, all my friends were amazed by how well we were treated, and the food was absolutely delicious. The salad bar is very fresh and has a great variety. The cheese with honey, the picanha and the pork belly were uufff, unbelievably good. I tried the cucumber, mint and lemon cocktail and it was amazing. For dessert, you have to try the crème brûlée, it is incredibly good. Lucas was the one making sure we never lacked anything and his attention made the experience even better. I am very happy they have come to our city. All my friends loved the experience so much that they now want to celebrate their birthdays here too

Omg! Rebecca is the best server and everybody else is also also amazing every single time I have been there.. The gauchos are great and the food is always impeccable. The pineapple mint drink is one of my favorites here. 100% recommend!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the Fogo de Chão in Nashville. The food was so, so good, but what made it even better was the amazing service. Our main server, Sean, took great care of us. He was very attentive. And it wasn't just him! Lucas, Gilson, and many others stopped by our table to see if we needed anything. The gauchos who brought many different kinds of the delicious meat were also very nice to us. My favorite meat was the costela!!! I have been to Fogo de Chão in Orlando and New York, and the one in Nashville made us feel just as happy and welcome. That hospitality really feels like a special mark of Fogo de Chão. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel special. Finally, I have to recommend two things you must try: the Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha drink and the Brûlée Cheesecake! They were the perfect end to a perfect meal. We highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back.

The best way to start the week, Monday at Fogo de Chao. Welcome to Nashville, and here to stay. Everything was exceptional 🤩 the appetizers, the food, the market table, everything, absolutely everything. Obviously this won’t be the last time I come, this place has my heart. I’m not going to lie, if you love food, a good cut of meat, and all the freshness you can imagine, you definitely have to stop by here and try everything they have for all of us. In short, 1000000000000/10🪄✨ Oh, and our server was Diego Angelo, super kind and very attentive📈‼️

Excellent service, great ambiance, and top-notch food. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that I would gladly recommend to others. However, I did notice an issue with your POS system when it comes to the suggested tip amounts—it doesn’t seem to calculate correctly. This could cause your servers to miss out on the proper tips, especially from guests who rely on the suggested tip printed on the receipt. I hope this can be corrected soon, as your staff truly deserves to be rewarded fairly for the outstanding service they provide.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food! Wonderful experience! We went there for our anniversary and wasn't disappointed. The top sirloin was our favorite! They treated us to a free dessert in which we had the creme brulee, delicious!

I went on a Thursday night and they were completely packed but I was sat promptly, and greeted. Felt very welcomed. My server explained how everything worked and honestly had some of the best service I’ve had in a while at a restaurant. I was given bread, yucca, plaintains and mashed potatoes as well which I guess came with my $65 purchase of the table side meats and market side buffet. I honestly had so much food I was stuffed in less than 20 mins. Best experience ever! I will be back.

Came for all day and everyday happy hour at the bar and was super impressed! The $10 burger is top notch coming from a Nashville native burger connoisseur. The bartenders Chris and Cue waited on me hand and foot for this solo mission! The drinks didn’t miss either! I’ll be back next week for the full experience but already text all my friends that I found our new spot!! Xo (p.s. it was a busy Sat night also)

Okkkk Nashville friends - This is my second time at Fogo De Chão and the service & atmosphere have been welcoming both times! I came here the second time with a large party to celebrate a birthday and everything was seamless, delicious, absolutely exceptional! Run don’t walk to this amazing restaurant! Lucas,Case & Saeid were PHENOMENAL!

Such an amazing experience. We had dinner at fogo on Saturday because we were in Nashville for the weekend and it was the best food and service you can hope for. I loved the cozy ambiance, delicious food, and attentive service. Our service was extraordinarily wonderful thanks to Mohammed, Michael, and Elizabeth. The food was fresh, meats kept coming back and forth, and everyone was so friendly and catered to our needs. A special thank you to Mohammed, he is such a kind and friendly person. He made sure all the food was served very timely and continuously kept up with our table and asked about our experience. Everything about this experience was perfect . I will recommend this place to all my family and friends .

We had a great time at Fogo! Our server, I believe his name is Noel, was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable and attentive. As soon as we sat down, he started making the experience! He was also training another gentleman who was fantastic! All around great experience.

As a Brazilian, I highly recommend Fogo de Chão in Nashville. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The atmosphere is elegant, welcoming, and clearly reflects the high standards of Fogo de chão that I love. The service was absolutely excellent—attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. A very special moment for me was when I asked for farofa, which wasn’t available at the time, and the staff went out of their way to prepare it especially for me. That thoughtful gesture made the experience truly memorable and meant a lot to me as a Brazilian. The meats were perfectly cooked, the salad bar was fresh, abundant, and beautifully presented, and the overall pace of service was spot on—just as many other reviewers have mentioned. You can really feel the commitment to providing an exceptional dining experience. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience in Nashville.

We eat at Fogo every year for Christmas lunch. We usually eat at our New York location but chose to ate at the Nashville location this year. Not only was the food outstanding as always, but the servers and staff were so kind and helpful. We ordered food to go for our In-laws and really enjoyed the atmosphere, the people, and the food. Highly recommend.

Delivered an exceptional dining experience from the moment we walked through the door. The service remained superior throughout the entire visit-attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed. The restaurant itself is stunning, with beautiful decor, an elegant dining room and a gorgeous bar. Our party of five had reservations and all chose the Indulgent Churrasco Experience which included market table, feijoada bar, a meat selection enhancement and a dessert choice. The real stars, of course, were the perfectly seasoned, mouthwatering meats. From tender to boldly flavorful. Overall, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Fogo de Chao exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

I travel frequently and have enjoyed Fogo De Chao in many different cities. This location in Nashville is the most flavorful, well seasoned beef! The Pao De Queso is light and fluffy perfectly made. The hospitality is unmatched. Huge shoutout to Sarah Briones! I was lost in the parking garage and she literally came to my rescue and helped me find my way to the best dinner Nashville has to offer. Thank you Sarah and thank you Luz for the exceptional service! I returned 12/26/2025 Would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Carol on her phenomenal service!! She made this visit awesome with her hospitality and service!!

We have been coming to Fogo de Chao every Sunday since they opened here in Nashville. My husband and I have been going to Fogo’s in other cities and have just loved them! Great food & honestly it’s a great price. You cannot go to any other steakhouse & get the same quality of food at the same price. The atmosphere is upscale & so is the service. Highly recommend giving them a try.

This was my first time experiencing both the environment and the food, and wow, everything was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were so generous. There’s no way you can come here and not leave completely full and satisfied. I’ll definitely be coming back!

My wife and I had dinner at Fogo De Chao Nashville. Our host Mina was fantastic from the beginning to the end. He explained the menu in a professional, kind and knowledgeable manner. He also checked in on us to find out how the food was and whether we needed anything. He also had a good sense of humor that made the both of us have a great experience. All in all, Mina is a one of a kind host and would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. 5 stars for a 5 star service and food too. We came to eat the meats and we didn’t come to play!!

It looks like they took another reviewer's review here on Google seriously. We came to celebrate our 18 year anniversary (yay us!) And still here (11/16/25 7:30pm) writing this and you can see from the pictures that there is ample room between tables. The service was also very fast, and there was one guy (Mena I think his name is) running around and just being amazingly helpful. The food was quick and good, not 5 star amazing (there are a lot of great steakhouses in Nashville) but the variation is something you can't beat. I do think they need more variation on their cocktails but they had a huge wine list. Also no one in Nashville has monkey bread and that just makes me sad. All-in-all I think this is a great place to come to and is unique to the Nashville scene.

Fogo de Chão in Nashville was a great experience. Noel provided excellent service—attentive, friendly, and on point the entire time. The servings were generous, and the cuts of meat were flavorful and perfectly prepared. To top it off, they treated us to a crème brûlée–style cheesecake with blackberry sauce on the house, which was incredible. Definitely coming back!

This place is awesome! We enjoyed dining here so much variety. Noel was our server and he was nothing less than amazing! We will return soon! Keep up the great work. If you have not tried it don’t wait any longer. Make your reservation now!

Been to Fogo in Atlanta (love) and NYC (LOVE) but something about the experience in Nashville just took everything to the next level. Excuse the pictures 😂 we got the full experience, plantains, mash, bread, made to order lamb chops, happy hour cocktails and creme beule cheesecake. Trust me when I say this was the best dining experience I’ve had at a Fogo location. It was a 15/10. Really good. I couldn’t take pictures of everything because I was enjoying myself too much.

So happy a Brazilian steakhouse finally came back to Nashville. Atmosphere is beautiful, it’s in a beautiful location off Broadway but close enough to walk the food off. Amazing !!!! Diego was ou server & he was so knowledgeable about the menu & concept. Highly recommend.

After showing a house we had an early dinner at Delicious Brazilian Steak House. All-you-can-eat meat, full food, and a hot bar.

Amazing experience at Fogo de Chão Nashville, especially thanks to Luis Ángel from Puerto Rico. He was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout our entire meal. He explained the cuts perfectly, made sure our favorites kept coming, and truly elevated the experience. The food was excellent, as always, but the outstanding service made the night unforgettable. We will definitely be back and will request his section again. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is truly extraordinary. We loved the food, the service—everything was excellent. Ana and Luis Ángel are exceptional people who made us feel completely at home. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and outstanding hospitality.”

Finally got to try this Brazilian steakhouse after waiting for it to open. The staff truly went above and beyond! Kelly and Diego were attentive and friendly servers, while John the meat cutter was exceptional! The meats were incredibly flavorful. Save a room for the Creme Brulee Cheesecake, it’s sooo good!

We had such a great experience at Fogo de Chão! Our waiter, Mina, was outstanding – he was so attentive and took amazing care of our table of six. The service really made the evening special. The food was incredible – the picanha was hands down my favorite cut of meat, cooked perfectly every time it came around. I also tried their passion fruit caipirinha, and it was delicious – refreshing and full of flavor! The restaurant itself is beautiful, very classy, and spotless. The entire staff was so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I would absolutely recommend Fogo de Chão for anyone looking for an excellent dining experience, and Mina deserves special recognition for his top-notch service!

Mina’s service was truly above and beyond! Even with the system acting up that day, he handled everything like a pro — calm, organized, and perfectly attentive. You’d never know there were any issues because everything ran so smoothly thanks to him. He made sure we had everything we needed before we even had to ask. The whole team was great, and Nora at the host stand was so welcoming and kind. And the cheesecake crème brûlée? Absolutely from another world. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time!

I had the most amazing time celebrating my anniversary with my partner. My servers Elizabeth and Katie went above and beyond! They were knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. Elizabeth was extra amazing with her light hearted humor and attention to detail. Katie was an absolute sweetheart, always making sure we were comfortable. They made my night! They were definitely a girls girl! I will be back soon!

We had an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was wonderful the atmosphere, the food, and especially the service. What truly made our night unforgettable was our waiter, Noel. He was attentive without being overbearing, kind, professional, and genuinely cared that we were having a great experience. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel so welcomed and valued. His positive attitude and attention to detail really set the standard for exceptional service. We will absolutely be back, and we’ll definitely be asking for Noel again!

I'm a longtime Fogo de Chão fan and have dined at several locations across the United States, as well as in Botafogo, Brazil. Simply put, this steakhouse is the best of the best worldwide. When I moved to Nashville a few years ago, I never expected to have a Fogo de Chão so close to my place, so I was genuinely excited when they opened a location here last year, just minutes from where I live. Since then, I have been there more than ten times, and each visit has been even better than the last. I have dined there by myself, with my friends, and even hosted my company’s end of year party there in December. I have truly never heard a single complaint about this restaurant. Last night was no exception. My friends and I went to dinner, and for some of them it was their very first Fogo experience. It was absolutely fantastic. The entire team is always kind and attentive, and our server Noel provided truly outstanding customer service. My friends and I are incredibly grateful to him and his coworkers for making the evening so special. Obrigado, Fogo de Chão, for being part of Music City!

Good customer service overall. This is my second time here. The parking validation is valid for the East Parking garage on Church St. I would recommend reserving table in advance! Yummy food, come hungry!!

We visited Fogo de Chão on New Year's Day for a special treat, but it fell far short of expectations. The "Market Table" was underwhelming and the gauchos were very slow to bring meat to the table. I suspect this may have been due to the shift change between lunch and dinner, but that shouldn't result in a subpar experience for paying guests. When you are spending over $130 for a couple, you expect high energy and fresh food. Having been to many other Brazilian steakhouses, I can say the value just wasn't here.

This experience does not compare to some of the other Brazilian steakhouses. We arrived to show our coupon we saw on Facebook and they said, that wouldn’t cover what we needed. Whatever it was only $10. So we said that’s fine, we will save the coupon, we had to ask for potatoes, bananas, and the other “sides”, the bananas here were not sweet, which we were not used to, the interior is absolutely beautiful, I will say parking is extremely difficult and we got lost trying to get here, the meats were good, the filet mignon was our favorite, it seemed like some of the meats were underseasoned compared to other Brazilian steakhouses we’ve been to. The lamb was gamy. This salad bar was better than other salad bars we have been to. So much to choose from. I’ve also seen stuff on this salad bar I’ve never seen anywhere else. We did go on a Wednesday so maybe that’s why service wasn’t as great? Because it was mainly younger servers. Maybe they’re still learning? It is just not the same experience that we’ve had in Chicago, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, or Dallas. Okay also. Those little cheese breads? To die for.

We had a reservation at 8 and got there on time, but we didn’t get seated till about 8:20. Once we got seated we didn’t have a waiter come to us for another 30 minutes. We sat there looking around making eye contact with servers and getting no response. We finally had a pretty nice server, a girl (I think her name was Elyssa). She got our drinks and was very nice with a good attitude, but her time with us didn’t last long. After we got our complementary waters we sat for a little longer, and then finally our server introduced himself to us. I didn’t get a name , but he was bald with glasses. I think he came to our table a total of two times; once to drop the cocktails we ordered from the lady then another time to get another drink order. Once he got us the other drink order after about 15 minutes, someone in the table wanted to order another drink, but he told us the bar was closed and couldn’t do anything about it. I understand that things happen, but he could’ve been more attentive and let us know before hand that the bar would be closed after his second time making it to the table. Although, our original server wasn’t the best, Mina (the girl) came and stepped up. She was amazing and very hospitable, answered questions with a smile and helped us get a drink to the other person at the table. She was respectful and gave us quality service worth the price. In all the food was pretty good, the service was ok, and request Mina (the girl server) if you can.

Level of service left much to be desired. Was seated in a corner and forgotten. Asked for several things and never got a single one of them. The meats were way over cooked. Opening week was definitely not the week for us to try this location out. Will stick to the Atlanta location until they can sort their issues out at this one. (Staff needs more training and needs to pay better attention to details and be guest focused) Seems like they hired the staff based on appearance and not on actual substance of service.

Several reasons why my husband and I did not enjoy our experience at all, but first: DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Go to Jack Ruby or Ocean Prime. I rather drop $600 at any other restaurant than spend $200 here. We had a 7pm reservation. 1. Who ever is running this place needs to get rid of 1/4 of the tables at least, maybe more. They cram you in so tight. They gave my husband and I the WORST spot in the restaurant. I am pregnant with a big Ole belly and they expected me to squeeze in between this space *refer to photos* in between tables to sit. I almost knocked the drinks over on the table next to us it was really embarrassing. 2. The service SUUUUUUCKS. They try their best but this place is ran like a crap shoot. We didn't get our first round of meat for 40 minutes. If we didnt order the indulgence experience we wouldn't have had anything to eat but bread balls for almost an hour after getting sat. I didn't recieve my Mocktail for a whole hour after I ordered it. 3. SEASON YOUR FOOD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! On my MOM I can out flavor EVERY DISH they served but I am excellent cook. I have been to a Brazilian steakhouse in a mall in flipping Davenport, Iowa of all places that is 100Xs better. Our salt shaker was out so we stole it from the table next to us once they left and you would have swore we scored gold. Still didnt make the food better. 4. A table of maybe 8-10 was sat next to us and they got SO MUCH better service. They didnt have to wait for a dang thing. No drinks, no food, they had three servers at the table at all times. I had to flag down a random person (which I never do, I loath people who do that) to get a water refill. I begged him for a bottle of water so I wouldn't have to wait to wash down the dry flavorless meat they were serving. We were TRAPPED here for two hours and could not wait to leave. Pretty sure they charged us wrong but we could care less. Our attitude by the end of our experience was TAKE OUR MONEY AND LET US LEAVE! A couple stopped us on the way out and asked what we thought I said "It SUUUUUUCKS!" And they agreed they also had just Escaped and said the service and food was as terrible as we described. Seriously do not bother. Its ashame they have potential but they wont be open long if they keep operating like this.

The food was good. The service was horrible. The waiter came by one time. The plates piled on the table. When I needed a clean plate I had to go to the bar to get one instead of the waiter bringing it. I had to find someone every time I needed a refill on my drink. The sides came out cold and late. Will not return to the Nashville location, especially after experiencing the Atlanta location. These plates have been sitting here for 20 minutes.
