Went here this past Saturday with two other guys, yeah don't bring women, cuz it'd be a waste of money. It was relatively empty because we went fairly early, around 5:30 and were seated promptly. That's when the carnage began with bacon wrapped filet mignon, beef rib meat, lamb, pork, beef tenderloin, beef sirloin and a number of other succulent and juicy cuts of beef. The pork unfortuneatly was dry and I wouldn't recommend it. Servers were pretty quick to bring the skewers of meat once you had the green side of your card up. Plantains were probably the best I ever had. I definitely don't think that it was worth $52.50 to eat here, however. Two of us at the table had the papaya cream for dessert which was pretty good but unfinishable due to the obscene amount of meat we had just eaten. Ironically or funny, was that the best thing about the meal was the coffee! Easily the best coffee I've ever had hands down. Don't fill up on the sides or the salad bar in order to have enough room for what you really came there for...meat.\r
Addendum: Went there this past Thursday, 3/15/07 with a larger group, women included and they held their own nicely, thank you, and had an even better experiance! Hostess remembered us from before and went out of her way to get our party situated especially with 1 extra party member not on the reservation. I had called earlier and a gentleman I spoke with concerning corkage fees was more than happy to give us a 2 for 1 corkage fee without me even saying anything! This time the waiters brought out slabs of straight filet mignon without the bacon and perfectly grilled ribeye steaks which they didn't have last time. Needless to say we were quite ecstatic for these two extra cuts of meat in addition to their other great meat. Still haven't tried their salad bar, but I'm sure it's fantastic just by the quantity of food they have there as well. Go and be treated like a king, because the service is as fantastic as the meat!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: Great coffee, quick service albeit rushed, and obscene amounts of meat.
Cons: Check your cholesterol and assume a high fiber diet post Fogo.
