This is an amazing place for lunch. They offer their Market Table (salad bar) for only $18! They have three kinds of salad, roasted cauliflower, asparagus, salmon, bacon that is to die for, soup, rice, and so much more. I think it’s the best deal for lunch in downtown Pittsburgh!

The worst dinner I have had. We ended up leaving hungry, nauseated and disgusted. For a $170 that’s ridiculous. The lowest cuts of steak possible and it all was so greasy.

Amazing waitress, amazing food. Totally worth the money, even if it's pricey. Appreciated wait staff going the extra mile writing Happy Birthday on my plate. Our waitress didn't make a big fuss, and I am thankful for that...but she did give me my dessert with a candle on top. Super sweet.

Not much to say, restaurant was unreasonably frigid. Hostess had a plug-in electric heater under her stand to stay warm. Several open seats yet we still had to wait to be seated which is also fine I guess. However once we were seated the service was excellent multiple servers were constantly checking on us to make sure our drinks were full along with our plates. The food was pretty good I've been to other locations and had much better. We did get what was supposed to be a wagyu ribeye on a salt block, it was flavorless over salted and definitely was nothing resembling wagyu. Unless of course there is a new wagon that tastes like a supermarket ribeye. The rest of the food was fine. There are better Brazilian places to eat and I've been to better locations of the same restaurant so don't read too much into that.

Was expecting a better quality of food for the reviews that I had read. The salad bar was unfortunately the best part. The service was certainly good, the meats were certainly abundant, but no flavor on any of it whatsoever, and the quality wasn’t what I would of thought. Additionally, I think it was a manager, a shorter man wearing a black suit and tie, acted highly unusual through the meal. He appeared to be going through something…went around the dining room constantly but didn’t speak to anyone, couldn’t seem to stand still. At one point, we observed him in the kitchen using one of the churrasco sticks as a sword, with a knife in his other hand, acting unstable. The female manager was around to our table twice and was super kind. She was running good, cleaning tables, and seemed very coherent and nice. I wasn’t expecting the world for $100 a person, but it wasn’t a place I’d return to.

Not as good as other Brazilian restaurants around. Food was over cooked or raw, pretty tasteless until you bit into a legitimate rock of salt... then overly salty... not worth the price

Jacob and Alicia manage a very nice restaurant. A prior visit a couple months back was the first time it was not an impressive experience. However, last night we celebrated 2 birthdays and the service was wonderful and the meats were flowing often and cooked very well to temperature. Service was attentive and overall a true 5* experience. The salad bars was awesome and constantly refilled. Great job everyone!

The taste and quality of the meats served at the Pittsburgh Fogo does not quite seem to match the level of other Fogo’s, such as King of Prussia. The buffet though, was very good and I do like how we can book a large party of people online. That evening the fire alarm went off and kept beeping for almost our entire dinner. While the staff was apologetic, I just felt that the prices were very expensive — at $95 per head, after adding tax and tip, did not quite match the level of quality of the meats. We were supposed to celebrate a special occasion but the fire alarm had the staff quite scattered and forgot. However we still had a fun evening overall.

We recently dined at Fogo for Pittsburgh summer restaurant week. It was a nice atmosphere, a little noisy but that's to be expected it was a full and busy restaurant. We had a 6:30pm reservation and were seated pretty much right away. 3/4 of us had never been there and i hadn't been there in years. It would've been more helpful if the server had explained how the process was suppose to go, we weren't sure if we should go up to the market table right away, and once we did they started bombarding our table with the Brazilian meats, normally this wouldn't be a complaint but the whole thing felt very very rushed and confusing. We also ordered an additional appetizer, the Seafood tower which for the price, we should've gotten edible lobster, the claws were almost impossible to get open to actually eat and for $109 for an app, it should be prepared in a way i don't have to pry it open with my finger tips at the table, or at least be given proper tools. As for drinks our cocktails were tasty, but really lacking in liquor, for $15 i want to be able to taste it, also pictured, the martini glass was received half full. Service was good and she was very nice. Overall it was a nice time and good dinner, we left with zero room for dessert. Would go again for the deal but not on a regularly priced night.
