Review of Fogo de Chao

Unfortunately, I didn’t feel safe eating here. I told the waiter I had celiac disease, and she said “oh yeah, most of our menu is gluten free,” and handed me a dirty, wrinkled, printed spreadsheet of allergen info. I noticed there were several meats and menu items marked not gluten free, but the allergen info didn’t correspond with the QR code menu, so it was impossible to figure out what was safe. The waiter didn’t offer any explanation or guidance – just gave me that spreadsheet and left. And, the tables didn’t have dedicated waiters, basically random waiters would stop by different tables, so I didn’t feel confident that the kitchen could consistently prep my food without CC. I left without eating.

Not celiac related, but this location was dirty and loud. There were food scraps and dirty napkins on the ground throughout the space. The floor was all carpet and it just felt gross. They charge $62-150 a plate, so I expected it to be a lot nicer. Overall bad experience.
