They gave me a laminated allergy table that showed what had gluten. Overall a really good experience. Come prepared to stuff your face if you select the all you can eat option.

We did Fogo de Chao downtown for hubbys birthday. Amazing. Everything on one side of the buffet is GF. All of the meats. The Brazilian bread. The manager talked to us and said the chicken used to be the only one with gluten because of beer and they changed the recipe a few months ago and don’t use beer anymore. I highly recommend if you want a fancy night out. And wear a loose dress ;)

Majority of their food is gluten free and as soon as I asked, they provided me with a menu that showed me the allergens in each of their menu items

This place was absolutely phenomenal. Upon arriving, we talked to the manager and asked for a gluten free menu. He very quickly brought us one and I was delighted to see that the majority of the menu was naturally gluten free. The bread in the center of the table, to start, was luckily safe to eat as it was made from some naturally gluten free flour. Pretty much every meat was safe to eat and tasted incredible. For dessert, I got a bowl of ice cream which was also gluten free. I had no issues with cross contamination, although I’m not incredibly sensitive. All of the wait staff, including the manager were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I will definitely return here. This was an experience to remember!

So much food. Delicious gluten free Brazilian bread bites. So many meat options but always clarify if it gluten free or not!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Perfect for my Celiac wife. Only gluten in one zone, rest is GF. Avoid only the beer soaked chicken and sausage for meats.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitress seemed annoyed when asking what was GF. Nothing was marked but overall the food was good.

Nice to share a GOOD meal without having to worry about making an issue of ordering. The best part?...the bar serves VEEV (acai liquor)!!!

The cheese rolls are amazing, as are all of the meats.

I went here for a company function and had resigned myself to getting sick. I was pleasantly surprised that the buffet had the cheese and meats on the totally opposite side from the bread, which was by the salads. At the buffet I chanced tiny pieces of the prosciutto, papaya and star fruit. The tropical fruits weren’t ripe so I didn’t end up finishing these.

I signaled the waitress of my allergy and she brought out a detailed allergen list. This list showed most of the meats as having soy, which I worried was soy sauce. Though overwhelmed by our party of 16, the waitress eventually brought me the manager who took a trip to consult the chef who told me most meats were simply rubbed in lemon pepper and no soy sauce was involved.

Based on the advice of the waitress and manager, I tried several types of lamb and beef and did not get sick. For drinks I had Caipirinhas. Though they were listed as wheat free I did not try the Pão de queijo, which were prepared in a kitchen that also prepared bread. For dessert I wanted to try the flan, but they were “out” (I saw it being served to other tables, so they must have just run out) and was given vanilla ice cream.

Overall this restaurant did a great job taking care of me and keeping me safe on a very busy night.

So much food, we had great time here and left sooo full. A fun spot for the family, endless cuts of meat and salad bar. The rolls are safe, meats are safe, a few items on salad bar that we were warned of ( bread items). We had no reactions, nice lunch here.

Great experience here, told them of my allergy and they brought me a list of everything and their allergens: gluten was only in a few things! Safe buffet, all the meats except the tofu but I didn’t even see that. Highly recommended. All you can eat is $66 which seems like a great deal!

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

Mostly everything here was gluten free. I was hesitant at first and took some precautions, but everything was great. If you haven’t eaten this style before, they come around to your table with a slab of meat and slice off a portion if you want to try it. There are several meats that are not gluten free, but there were more than enough options without it. I was skeptical of the buffet, but [at least on the night I was there] almost everything on the table was gluten free. I stood there and watched it for 5 minutes before deciding it was worth it to check out a couple items. Taking off a star for safety due to the waitstaff; somewhat knowledgeable, but also apathetic and not willing to get answers very quickly (like 30 minutes into the meal when everyone else was already eating). My primary complaint was the servers — one was a little weird encouraging us to drink and drive (we did not, of course), and one just did not help at all. We went somewhat close to the opening and seemed like a decent amount of turnover with the waitstaff, so perhaps it was a logistical issue and has since improved. I had a vegetarian friend who went and found plenty to eat to hang with her family, but I’m not sure I would recommend that for the price point. I did not get sick, and was very full :)

I haven’t been yet but looking online it looks like their entire market menu is naturally gluten free. Apparently they can also serve Brazi bread. Hope to check out soon.
