Don't hesitate and go to fogo! The best meats around and they're gluten free, along with the rice, mashed potatoes, and cheese bread & it's all delicious. Staff is very knowledgeable on gluten free items and if someone happens to not be, they will go find the right person to provide the answers to your questions. Hands down my favorite restaurant of all time, lucky I'm able to eat here.

What a great experience! The food was excellent! The waiter, Alessandro, clearly explained what was and was not gluten free. They have wonderful cheese bread gluten free and all the meat you can eat. They also have a great salad/fruit bar. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! This was great for my Celiac daughter and I as well as the rest of the family that isn’t GF!

Amazing experience!! Gave us the allergy menu so I could look over every item throughout the whole dinner. The bread was so good and I loved that almost everything there is gluten free! They were very knowledgeable and made sure to explain the ingredients in every item we got.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Breads were gluten free and almost all meats. Unfortunately the one chicken option was marinaded in beer. Still an excellent dining experience and they have a binder with all foods labeled for allergies

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely celiac heaven. And food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful! Delicious food and an amazing variety!!! YUM!!

Hands down Celiac paradise. Slightly expensive but well worth it, even if you only get the salad bar. Don't be fooled, the salad bar has more than enough to keep you satisfied! They even have an allergy menu so you know what is "off limits."

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The amount of food you can eat here is incredible. They have a GF menu, and everyone is very knowledgeable as well. It was amazing to have rolls at dinner, and I left very full.

Celiac friendly?

Carnival for the Carnivores!!!! Everything is GF except chicken legs. Impeccable service, especially if you go before the dinner rush. Creme Brûlée is our favorite dessert! Go hungry and wear loose pants 😊

Fantastic place! The entire buffet is GF! All served carved meats are GF except the chicken legs. The food is fantastic and you can not stop eating the GF rolls at the table. The service is top notch. Expensive but worth it on a special occasion!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food! Fantastic staff who were very attentive to all our needs. The GF menu was great. The papaya dessert was wonderful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I couldn't write a review fast enough about this place just loved it!!! The manager was very aware of celiac and took me around the Buffett and showed me what I could and couldn't eat and then went through the meats with me so awesome. The food was fantastic worth every penny! If I ever find another Fongo de Chao on my travels I will eat there again. Recommend it to anyone who has celiac or who is gluten free:) I had no problems. ( I always wait until the next morning to write my reviews lol)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

this is a very high end Brazilian steak house, but the best GF dining experience to date. manager was highly knowledgeable on celiacs and every house made ingredient. GREAT GF bread. AMAZING service and food.

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.
