  I haven’t been to Fogo de Chao since 2012 so this visit was long overdue and what a visit it was. Arriving to a packed house on a Thursday night, I thought to myself…is everyone here for DineLA? The answer was yes because that’s all me and my friends heard echoing throughout the restaurant from both servers and customers.Of course for myself, DineLA was one of the primary factors for my visit. You can’t beat the $49 price tag for a feast at Fogo de Chao and it was the second to last night for DineLA week. The salad bar, unlimited meats and desserts were all included within the cost. I know a good deal when I see one and you better believe I’ll go for it.The salad bar included a variety of greens, veggies, meats, and cheeses to choose from. The soup of the day and a black bean soup with sausage were also available. The highlights were the marinated mushrooms, prosciutto and the croutons. I’m sure some will say…croutons? really? Yes! Those were some delicious croutons on top of my salad and the marinated mushrooms were just awesome. The salad bar could have consisted of nothing but marinated mushrooms and I would praise it. I went back a few rounds for mushrooms to eat as a stand alone item and back a couple of more times for mushrooms to eat with the meats. Simply delicious.Steaks, chicken, lamb, pork ribs, pork chops, and sausages were all up for grabs in the feast with the steaks being front and center. The steaks had the most variety when it came to the meats and rightfully so since this is a steakhouse. If you’re not a fan of rare steaks then you’ll become one after a meal here. When carving, the server will ask whether you want a rare slice of meat or a medium cooked slice. Medium is great but nothing beats the rare here. The seasonings from the steak crust can be tasted all throughout the meats and their juices. All were tender with not a single carve being thick nor tough. I wasn’t sure if there was anything that could make any of the meats better until the bacon wrapped meats started to make their way around. I can’t stress how much I love bacon. I crossed my fingers hoping a bacon wrapped lamb would arrive to the table. No luck on that but that’s perfectly fine because the lamb was delicious with or without bacon just as all the other meats.The sides included in the meal were the cheese breads, crispy polenta, caramelized bananas, and mashed potatoes. The cheese breads are dangerous because they’re so delicious. If you’re like me, you’ll keep digging into the breads but will have to take it easy otherwise you’ll find yourself full before you can get through all the meats. I also try to go easy on the polenta and bananas. One of my favorites as a kid was having Cheerios with sliced bananas on top and that’s exactly what the polenta & caramelized bananas remind me of in flavor. The two combined are awesome. The potatoes were rich and smooth. I’m not the biggest mashed potatoes fan but these I wouldn’t mind having on a plate more than once.Last up were the desserts. The course offered New York cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake and tres leches cake as the choices. There was three of us dining so we figured why not get one of each and share them. Needless to say, all were great with the New York cheesecake taking the crown for the best of the three. I would have loved a glass of milk with these desserts but anymore food or liquid and I would have burst. We stuffed ourselves into a food coma. The only thing I was looking forward to after was my bed haha.This restaurant is a meat lovers fantasy. If you can pay a visit during DineLA week then I say go for it. The deal is great for what’s all offered. If you can’t then no worries, you’ll still be getting your moneys worth at normal price and it’s well worth it. Juicy and flavorful steaks coming none stop to your table, I couldn’t ask for a better meal.Visit Date 1/26/2017

  Absolutely loved the concept! You walk in and you see waiters walking around with meat skewers; all types of meat. They slice a piece of that onto your plate and it’s all yours to enjoy! Also loved the salad bar: it’s very rich and has many options!

  Packed Like Rats. I’ve decided to no longer dine there and here’s why. I love their food and have dined there for several years. I often book a table for 12 and with fine wine would easily spend a grand or more. It used to be cozy, but now I find that THEY PACK US IN LIKE RATS. It’s difficult to walk between tables and chairs are frequently bumped by passerby’s who have to squeeze through. I go for fine dining and I pay for fine dining, but I no longer get that! Fortunately, there are lots of better places in the vicinity to spend my money.

  Pricey but Delicious. It’s quite expensive but it is in Beverly Hills, the meat is good quality and the salad bar is pretty great. I don’t eat that much so it’s not quite worth the value to me but it’s really a great place for dinner if you can eat a lot.
