Great cuts and quality of meat. Staff was wonderful. Food and salad bar had a good selection. We ended our meal with desserts and the flan was my favorite. Cheesecake and ice cream were also delicious. Loved the cozy atmosphere and will definitely come back.

Was pleasantly surprised to Find EG had a new fine dinning place to go! Got a Good welcoming vibe just walking thru the door. Elegant and cozy are the Words that came to mind. Wonderful assortment of all the side dishes happy to see different cheeses and meats and all the other stuff to make a charcuterie plate as well. The Main attraction all the meats were tender full of flavor and the servers were always close by to offer you different cuts. Great place to treat yourself for ordinary or special days! Highly recommended

This location was called Brazil Steakhouse which was my only visit & only 3 stars. Now it has been remodeled to be Fogao Gaucho... total 360 from our first experience before the change. I was very impressed with the Service but more importantly the Food/Salad Bar/Appetizers. All the Meats were perfectly cooked to my liking with the blend of right seasoning/flavorings. We had a bottle of wine to pair with our meal. The experience was very similar to other Bay Area Brazilian Steakhouses we have frequent. Although this location is rather small compared to other locations, The service was impeccable and at times a little too attentive for me. Overall, I love the conveniency of this location vs driving 45-50 min to Roseville. We will definitely be coming back fairly soon with our Fam/Friends. Bon appetite

Little Brazil is now Fogao Gaucho and has changed to a Rodizio dinning, and I really like it. The location has changed to a more upscale, classy ambiance. Service: you are greated by hosts when you walk in, who will lead you to your table. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Food: the buffet bar was excellent. Delicious and fresh sides. The lobster bisque was excellent and you can definitely taste the wine. My favorite sides are the bacon, rice, egg, asparagus, and salads. The servers also bring the Brazilian cheese bread and the fried bananas. They also offer wines and non alcoholic drinks. Must try: The bananas are my favorite thing here, along with the mint pineapple lemonade. Meat: picanha is my favorite, but the other meats are delicious as well. Noteable meats include: pork chop, ribeye, flank steak, garlic chicken. They also served pineapple and cheese with honey, which were amazing. I think fogao is the best option in the area for Brazilian and would seriously come back again!

The food... The service... The sangria.... This spot is going to take overthe area for dinning and the sangria cannot be topped. I don't know what they do but it is magic

Oh. My. Goodness. We were so impressed with this place. The food was spectacular! The market table was divine with a variety of seafood, vegetables and cheese. The staff went above and beyond to make our first time one to remember. Every single detail was perfect, the cuts of meat, the thoughtful suggestions by staff, and the Brazilian flair! The pineapple is a MUST! The whole team is top tier! Even if you re thinking about skipping a round the servers double check to see if you'd like to try it because they don't want you to miss out something delicious! Then we had Brazilian flan to end the night right. 10/10 will be back with all my friends and family.

Experienced this tonight, greeted by great customer service and white linen tables. Every staff member was very friendly and checking on you, offering to replace your plate with a clean one. Karin was very hospitable making sure our waters were filled and clearing plates and providing clean plates The meats were all delicious with one exception that the pork chop was a little dry. The rest of the other meats made up for that. Love the Picanha was very delicious and flavorful. Bife the Ancho...omg! The best of them all! Hack Lamb is good. The bar had a lot of variety. They have the chimichurri readily available at the bar whereas other Brazilian places you have to ask for it and they just give you a very tiny amount of it. Two different types of chimichurri, one of them being mango. Check out the wine wall when you go! Considering it was grand opening for them yesterday, they did a great job! I would recommend everyone to try it. Being greeted by constant smiles from the servers to wait staff also makes a restaurant successful

Came with a friend for lunch and left so happy and satisfied! We were in the area doing our nails and had a couple of lunch options in mind, when we finalized our decision to eat at Brazil Steakhouse because we were starving! Located in a lil' plaza right off Elk Grove Blvd., Brazil Steakhouse is a low-key, super-casual (no table service, white linen hullabaloo) churrascaria. The inside is like a bodega/convenience store, with a cafeteria style counter housing hot and cold sides while the main meats rotate on their skewer right behind. The cashier girl was so bubbly nice and she helped explain how it works here: - You can either do AYCE OR pay-by-weight/take-out - If you do take-out, you must get at least a percentage of the hot/cold sides (you cannot just fill up on meats 100%) - If you do AYCE, you cannot take home leftovers We went with the pay-by-weight option and filled up one plate each. I tried to grab a bit of everything off the hot/cold bar to sample. I also went with picanha and top sirloin as my meat choices. Everything tasted delicious, although a little saltier than preferred. I liked that it was self-serve most of the way. If I did AYCE, there would be no pressure to flip over the red/green marker and instead just get up and grab another plate. Overall, a way different experience from a regular fancy churrasco, but definitely worth a try! And, the lower prices help sway the fact that it's not full-service fancy. Will for sure return!
