Had a great experience here. My wife is a very sensitive celiac and had no issues here. You can ask for a menu that lists the ingredients for every cut of meat (the names were a bit different but we figured it out). Almost every cut of meat was GF, lamb, steak, chicken, pork. Several sides and salad bar items were also labeled and my wife had them without any adverse reaction. The crème brûlée was also fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something a bit more upscale.
amazing! very safe and delicious. all gluten free is labeled and i have full options. only one meat is NOT gluten free! staff knowledgeable
specific gf highlights:
bread cheese with honey
cheese puff appetizer
bacon wrapped steak
Felt very safe eating here. Staff knowledgeable and informed me the only things containing gluten was the bread near the salad bar and the fried plantains (as well as some desserts). The Brazilian cheese bread was gluten free and so delicious! I will not hesitate to return.

Excellent food. Almost everything is gluten free including Brazilian cheese bread. Only thing to avoid is Italian bread (which is separate away from the salad bar) and one of the chicken meats.
They always know what is safe and what is not (and it's no trouble to ask), and we've never had an issue with cross-contamination. Majority of the food is GF. Great service, delicious food. I'm vegetarian and I don't mind at all when carnivore DH wants to go here - the "salad" bar is to die for.
The food was amazing! Go hungry because you will be stuffed by the time you leave!
I went last night for the first time. when I asked if they are gluten free, she said mostly. And told me a few things. She said she would send a manager out to give me a more complete list. so I waited. after about 5 min I decided I could figure it out. after I finished my first plate the manager comes over to let me know that they are 95% gluten free! unfortunately I ate one of the items that are not. that's my luck. I think if the waitress would have known, or the manager had come sooner... but just so you know. don't eat the Cesar salad dressing. ugh
After the explanation from the host I thought I was safe with the meat here. One of the chickens available was soaked in beer. Had a sinus headache that night and for a few days following. So, just be proactive in asking about every thing you put on your plate.
Other than that, was a delicious meal.
Went above and beyond to make sure I was informed what was safe to eat and what wasn't - highly recommend!!
As always, this place never fails you....the GF rolls are delicious and they will let you know which meats you can't eat.
I could make a meal of just the bread at Fogo de Chao. I think next time I go I will just get the amazingly huge salad bar to leave more room for bread! Make sure you tell the waiter that you are gf because 2 of the meats contain gluten (a sausage & something else cooked in beer - those two skewers come around together though) & they will alert the runner of those meats not to give it to you.
Pricey but worth it for a special occasion. The salad bar is not just a salad bar, there are so many choices! The meats are outstanding. The real treat for me is being able to eat the bread....gluten free cheese bread. It's awesome!
Amazing selection and those tapioca cheese bread things are addictive!

I’ve eaten here a couple times. Most of the menu is gluten free but there is a buffet with a couple items (bread, pasta salad, etc.) that are not gluten free. I felt pretty safe eating here and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable (they even brought out the food list with all the allergens listed).
I went here for my birthday and all of the servers know what Celiac disease is! Almost all of the food is gluten free, even the pop overs served to your table. The Market Table has all gluten free food, except for a small section of bread that is separate. I ate here and had no reaction and I am strict about cross contamination! Definitely recommend!
Overal great experience. Knowledgeable staff and great options.
One of my favorites. Numerous items here are gluten free and I have never become sick after eating here. I always get the salad bar and eat the appetizers which are gluten free. The servers are extremely knowledgeable and helpful about gluten free safety and considerations. The salad bar has so many choices and a soup that was very flavorful. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Very expensive, very knowledgeable, staff, and incredibly awesome food!
