Fogao Gaucho

Fogão Gaúcho was good, but not as good as we hoped. We liked the overall experience, and the service was friendly, but it didn’t quite measure up to their main competitor. A few of the meats missed the mark. We asked for medium rare and got well done. Another time we asked for medium and got rare. None of it was bad, just not as consistent as we expected.

The salad bar was impressive with a wide variety of sides, all looking fresh and well stocked. The drinks were actually really good, which helped round things out. The atmosphere was nice and it still felt like a special occasion kind of place.

One thing that really stood out was an employee named Pepe. He was working nonstop, checking on tables, helping run food, clearing plates, and making sure everyone was taken care of. We actually thought he was the manager based on how involved and efficient he was, but found out he isn’t. It’s rare to see someone working that hard and doing it well enough to stand out. He absolutely deserves recognition and should be considered for a raise or promotion.

Overall, it was a good meal and a solid experience. We’d go back, but probably after trying a few other places first. It’s a 4 out of 5. Good, just not our favorite.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had yet! The service was the best service I have ever experienced – I wish I could rate it higher. I wish our seats weren’t hidden away next to this big pillar but my dad and I still had a good experience here. Our waiter, Pepe, was so incredibly kind and on top of things – always checking in on us periodically and ensuring we were having a good experience. I had the salmon, and my dad had the dinner experience which was one of his favorites. Great atmosphere and vibe to this restaurant and not much I would say to critique besides the fact of our seating. I definitely intend on coming here again and would love to have Pepe be my waiter again!

My husband and I went here for my birthday and 10 year anniversary lunch. We had a wonderful time! We got in right away. The servers were super nice, friendly, and attentive! The salad bar was so fresh and the variety of meats were so delicious! The place was very clean! Best of all it’s Halal! We want to thank Pepe, who came by towards the end and presented us with a special dessert- on the house! We definitely will come back soon!

The food is great, the restaurant is very clean, the staff is very attentive and friendly! Especially the leader Pepe he always takes care of my family he brought out his specialty of onions and peppers it was perfect with their amazing meat selection. He even gave us a complimentary dessert! Even on a busy day they send out lots of food never a bad time to visit! Best part all the beef is halal! ask your server and they’ll take care of you

The food was great. Probably the best I had here in MN.

The service was good. We got overwhelmed quickly by the amount of food. We did put it on red. After we flipped it back to green people stopped coming to the table. 2 guys did stop and ask us if we wanted more and we said yes please. They did another small pass so we could try everything.

It was prerty loud so it was hard to hear the people say anything. They gave us a free dessert because we went for a birthday.

It is pretty expensive. For two people it was right around 150.00$ but that’s about right for the kind of place it is.

It was our 1st time at Fogao Gaucho. A coworker had celebrated her anniversary here a few months ago and she enjoyed it.
Since it was my birthday, my husband brought me here.
Everything was delicious! The wait staff are really attentive.They make sure you get more food when you flip your card when you want more meat.
When reading the reviews ppl kept mentioning Pepe. I wanted to meet him. I asked for him , but he wasn’t there. Later a different waiter refreshed our water, and I asked if he was Pepe. He pointed to a gentleman behind him, who was talking to another customer. He told Pepe I asked for him.
Pepe came over, and I told him I read the reviews, and he was mentioned a lot.So, I wanted to meet him. He laughed and shook our hands, and asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. I told him it was my birthday. Pepe said he would give me a complimentary dessert. After we ate the delicious chocolate molten cake with vanilla ice cream, Pepe gave us a gift bag of grilled pineapples, and rolls, along with a coupon for a return visit.
We took a picture with Pepe before we left. Fogao Gaucho is really fortunate to have Pepe.
We told Pepe we wanted to bring our kids when they come home for a visit.
It was a really great experience to dine at Fogao Gaucho. Great staff, food, and ambiance!

Today, for the 1st time I went to Fogão Gaucho churrascaria. I’m completely in love with. Food is amazing. Service is outstanding! The waiter Pepe did a fantastic job! He was very friendly and always attended to my special requests with great joy! With all this experience, I will definitely come back again!
