Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

Through a long set of circumstances, my wife and I wound up with no one else coming to Thanksgiving dinner, and decided not to cook. We decided to do dinner at Fogo. I was surprised at how packed they were, and glad I had made a reservation. We got seated pretty much on time, though we did get there early and have to wait a hair. However, the staff coming along with small bites in the waiting area was a nice touch, and definitely made the wait pretty nice. But, it was also a short wait. Thanksgiving, the place was packed! And there was a massive buffet display, as well as the staff coming around with Meat on a Skewer. Despite the crowds, there was hardly any wait, and the staff quickly served us. I don't know if it'll be a Thanksgiving tradition for us, but I would definitely pop back by sometime!

Rating of 3 is probably bing generous. Hot food was great as usual, but our service was lacking big time. Our server was less than attentive, waited for at least 10 minutes for our drink order and a hello. Once our meal was complete, we basically had to beg for our ticket, then a manager noticed that our bill was ready to be paid, and came and did it himself, which was appreciated. Added negative was overhearing our server in conversation with another server saying "speak to me in English, we are in America here". While I'm not sure who he was speaking of, I felt it was rude and especially unprofessional in this setting.

I have been to Fogo in Baltimore and Dc, in terms of this location I have been twice. Once during the day and week (slow) and once on Valentine's Day weekend (busy). Both times, the services was horrible. It's like we had to fight to order drinks and get our check. The servers who bring the food are amazing. The food, amazing! But the service... They didn't even walk my boyfriend to our table which was all the way in the back of the restaurant, they just said I was in the back. I don't know, if I wasn't paying the amount I pay to eat here- I wouldn't complain. But the food and experience does not match the service period. I would say this recent experience was just because it was a busy day but again, I went on a slow day and the service was the exact same- so the benefit of the doubt will not be given. I will opt out of this location if wanting to experience Fogo, but there are other great food options in the area that are lower price points that will treat you much better than this place.It's just a shame because first time goers that try this location will not truly experience he greatness that is this restaurant. I also noticed after posting this review that others with the same statement on services are buried under the 5 star reviews. I hope the GM of this location will take all these complaints serious eventually.

What an experience!You've gotta try the full Churasco experience. Unlimited access to the market bar, which has lots of veggies and other side dishes. Then people come around with things of fresh meat. You say Yay or Nay and if you say Yay, they slice you a piece. Most of the meat I've had is so juicy and well cooked/seasoned. A few of em are on the tougher side, but still good, I've learned to be careful of saying yes to too many meats cause they're really filling. Service is always really nice.

Recently revisited fogo with a friend for her birthday celebration! The food was really good and the selection of meats were great. Some of the meats though were really dry and overcooked (like the chicken). Other than that, I had a pleasant experience.Our waiter checked in on my friend and I, cleared our table when appropriate. It was a pretty busy night since it was near Christmas time, but they also did a great job decorating for the holidays. Would recommend fogo for a formal night or special event.

great experience!functioning Ken much can of just sticky light under uncalled mention

Thank you for accommodating my wife & her anxiety wit the seating arrangement! Food is always good, & the service was not only fast but accurate wit drinks & request.

I was extremely excited to join Fogo for their National Caipirhina Day last Thursday. The closer location, Baltimore did not have reservations almost a month prior but Bethesda did is so I trecked on down with some friends after work.The caipirinha is a Brazilian cocktail that's made with cachaça, lime, sugar, and ice. There were ou can see on the menu the multiple choices they had to choose from. I decided to go with the strawberry hibiscus and mango at first. Realizing I needed to aqctually try the original, I made my way over to the bar where the bartender who was very rhythmic with his mixing skills, gave me some knowledge about the rum used for the cocktail and I choose the top shelf for it and it did not dissapoint. We were given a lot of hors d'oeuvres like their infamous pão de queijo, grilled cheese with honey, polenta, charcuterie selection that consisted of cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and chorizo, as well as cheeses; chicken and beef sliders as well as a Caesar salad. There was a lot of management on hand to make sure everything ran smoothly and to let us know they were there to help us out in any way possible. I was able to request the meat they provided us for the evening without bacon and I highly appreciated that.We were all seated at tables so there wasn't a lot of mingling going on which was something I expected it to be since it was labeled a bar event. I have seen these events offered before but this was not very first time participating and I would go back for another.

We went to Fogo de Chão to celebrate two birthdays. It is the perfect place as there are many items to select from their full experience. We went for brunch on Saturday and the omelettes were wonderful. The salad bar is amazing andthe meats or flavorful. Our waiter, Noah, Was very good and meeting our requests and provided excellent customer service. I highly recommend visiting here for any occasion. We arrived at 12: 30 and about an hour later. It was pretty busy .great ambience although loud.

Had an amazing experience at Fogo pike and rose drinks were great salad bar was so fresh the Chimichuri was to die for our servers Daniel George D and Denis where simply amazing and pulled out all the stops quiet simply and incredible experience can't believe the service i got i would definitely come back soon
