Santo and Alejandro made our experience at Fogo de Chão exceptional. They took such great care of my fiancé and me from start to finish, always making sure we had everything we needed and checking in without being overbearing. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out. The food was delicious, but the outstanding service from Alejandro and Santo is what made our visit so memorable. They went above and beyond to make our date night special. We will definitely be back, and we hope to be seated with them again! read more

Fogo de Chão - Buffet - Brazilian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

First time at this location and I will say it's intimate, moody, and makes for a great time for happy hour at the bar. My friend had been raving about this place and is known to be a regular at their all day happy hour at the bar. The night started off with their addictive Pao de quiejo (which who isn't a sucker for free bread). The bartender was nice and took our order quickly. The empanadas were perfectly fried crispy and were flavorful - as if the meat had been tossed with chimichurri? The burger was Juicy, flavorful and it was nice they had cut it for us since we were sharing. The yuca fries could have been steamed a little longer as well as fried a little longer for a soft inside and crispy outside. I wasn't a fan of the Lamb lollipops due to the gamey taste but the mint sauce was lovely and bright and complimented the lamb. To drink I had the strawberry hibiscus caipirinha and would probably try something else next time. I wasn't a fan of the muddled strawberries and it was a little too sweet for my liking. Overall solid happy hour and a fun way to spend the evening. read more

The ambiance at the bar was nice but the food was poor. Ordered the bones app and there were a few chunks of fatty meat detached from the bone as if the bone was display only. $15. The beef sliders were bare and you can't see any meat in between the buns. The cheese was a bad order. Shouldn't have ordered it. Crabcake was very salty. Drinks were decent. read more

I have been to many Fogo locations around the country, but this location is by far my least favorite. I came here for our weekly date night. There is a parking garage nearby, and street parking is also available, which was convenient. Unfortunately, the dining experience itself was very disappointing. The salad bar had many empty dishes that were not being refilled quickly, even during peak dinner time. Service was also lacking--I had to ask four times just to get a a drink refill. On top of that, the meats were not circulating regularly, so we spent a lot of time waiting. Overall, the service really took away from what should have been a nice date night experience. read more

We went here for our anniversary and it ended up being a great experience. We both got the indulgence experience. The market bar, sides and dessert are included. The cheesecake brûlée was amazing. If this is your first time, I'd recommend flipping your card to no to allow more time to experience other meat choices to flow through. The waitress was on top of drinks and other needs along with being super friendly. We sat indoors but they do have some outdoor seating. Overall, we enjoyed it and will be back! read more

I have been to Chima in Tyson's a few times, so I decided it was time to try Fogo De Chao. We visited on a Sunday night and were seated right away. We did the full churrasco, which gives you access to the salad bar and the meats. The salad bar was delicious and they replenished it frequently. The meats that were brought around were very good and came quickly when we had our tokens green. We did get a few meats that were a bit undercooked. I like my meat rare but some were less than rare. The service really sucked, and will probably keep me from going back to this location. My friend ordered a beer and it took a while to be delivered. Once they delivered it, they didn't open it and we didn't have a bottle opener. We also had a waitress that only visited our table twice but was frequently checking on other tables. We kept trying to make eye contact with our waitress to get our check, and she just kept ignoring us. We barely got water refills as well. The table beside us also didn't get helped much, and they ended up making a complaint with a manager. For the price, I did expect that we would get some service, it felt like our table was invisible to our waitress. read more

We recently celebrated our son's birthday at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse with our family of five, and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. Out of the several Fogo de Chão locations we've visited, this one was by far our least favorite. The meat selections we were served were mostly dry and lacked the flavor we normally expect from Fogo de Chão. The service throughout the evening was also not very attentive. Since we were celebrating our son's birthday, we were hoping for a special and memorable moment. Unfortunately, the birthday presentation felt rushed and awkward -- the candle was placed directly on the plate instead of on the cake, which made it feel less thoughtful. We were also excited to take family photos for the occasion. We asked one of the servers to take a photo for us, but she only took two quick pictures and unfortunately both turned out poorly. In the end, we didn't get any good family photos to remember the celebration. Because the experience fell short of what we had hoped for, we've decided to celebrate our son's birthday again at another restaurant this weekend in hopes of creating the memorable celebration we originally wanted for him. We've had great experiences at other Fogo de Chão locations, which is why this visit was particularly disappointing. Hopefully the management team can take this feedback into consideration so future celebrations for other families feel more special than ours did. read more

First let's start with the thought: What a GREAT ALL day HH spot! So, I came here on a Friday and thoroughly enjoyed the casual, cool, and welcoming vibe. I sat at the bar, which gave a sense of community. The consistent customers and waiters of Fogo all knew each other's names and gave a sense of genuine care for one another. I ended up getting the Saucy Legs and the Picanha Burger for a grand total of $16 ish dollars... what a STEAL! Then the portions and taste... no disappointment! Needless to say, I WILL be back. read more

We've been going to various Fogo locations for years and love it. This location can get packed so make sure you have reservations and be prepared for vibrant noise. Get the Churrasco Experience. This is the real deal here. Continuous tableside carving of Picanha (prime part of top sirloin), Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), roasted chicken, ribeye, lamb chops and sausage. All juicy and super flavorful. Prices are not cheap but for the amount of food and the quality it is worth it. Reservations via Open Table. read more

Wonderful atmosphere with a cozy and welcoming ambiance, making it a perfect spot for a date night. The service was excellent--attentive and friendly, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was overall pretty good, with a few standout items. I absolutely loved the cheesy bread--it was warm, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. The ribeye, though a bit tricky to find on the menu, is definitely worth requesting; just ask, and they'll happily bring it out for you. However, I wasn't as impressed with the filet mignon, as it didn't quite meet expectations compared to some of the other dishes - a bit gamey. On the other hand, the garlic steak was delicious--packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The sides were fantastic, complementing the main dishes well, with plenty of variety to choose from. Overall, this is a great place for a date, and make sure to come hungry as the portions are generous and satisfying! read more

The salad bar spread is great! Service is wonderful. Ant he ambiance is peaceful , clean and cozy

I want to jump back in and mentioned that management at Fogo reached out to me and offered a free meal. I have not taken them up on that and likely won't but the gesture is appreciated. read more

We came here two days after landing from Brazil and four days after visiting the Brazilian Fogo de Chão in the Brazilian city centre. Very different places, this one was very loud and the frequency of meat offered especially the higher end meats were infrequent. We were offered more chicken lamb,, gizzards, bacon wrapped in things. It was only after I complained that someone came over to my spouse and spoke to him. The place is not conducive to an intimate evening. The meat was hot and seasoned well; however service didn't meet up to expectations, drink was good- we had the traditional Brazilian drink- Caipirinha. After walking away with my mother, my spouse said people came by and served him because Melissa, the Customer Service Representative,brought them to him. She was very responsive to our feedback. We stayed and decided to order dessert, just to give the another chance. We ordered Coffee and dessert just to check on service consistency and it's an issue. Melissa came over and asked us if was ok. My 95 yo mom asked " where's the dessert " she asked if we wanted more coffee and said that she'd check on the dessert. Barry asked if they provided sleeping accommodations here to me. I told him no. Dessert came with Melissa's help. She's great- we're thinking that they had a busy night. read more

Meat quality was mediocre. Some things were good like picanha, chicken thighs and one of the lamb cuts. But much of it was overcooked and tough as leather. We waited quite a bit past our reservation time which was fine, but the service was not good. I waited 20 minutes for a glass of wine and the server rarely came by to refill our water or ask us if we wanted anything. We finally had to flag a manager and then things improved. It's usually festive and a fun time but it wasn't worth the $200 we spent for the three of us. read more

Ref: Fogo de Chão - Reston, VA YELP is Amazing!!! I posted the note below; less than 2 min the manager called. we discussed the challenges of his AI Phone system; and he agreed to proposal to secure the private room with the proviso that another, Larger party emigres. I truly appreciate his call. amazing what people can do if they just talk. still reccomend trashing their AI assisted phone. Thank you to Yelp and the Manager. Initial Issue: I must express my strong dissatisfaction with your AI virtual phone assistant. The voice is difficult to understand, and more importantly, the system completely blocks any attempt to reach a real staff member. My family enjoys your restaurant -- the food is excellent, and although service varies, we remain loyal patrons. However, this phone system is a serious problem. I am organizing a party of 12 and hoped to speak with the Manager regarding the private room. I understand the room is reserved for parties of 15 or more, and I am requesting it only if it is not already taken. If it is unavailable, a large table is perfectly acceptable. The inability to reach a human representative to discuss this straightforward matter is unacceptable and reflects very poorly on the restaurant. read more

Look, Brazilian steakhouses just aren't my thing so you have to take my review with a grain of salt. I have two major issues with the whole concept: (1) the meat is rarely cooked to my preference (because it's cooked and then carted around the establishment so it continues to cook, cools, probably gets heated up again... etc.) (2) it's expensive and I just can't eat that much in one sitting - for the same price I could get an app and a dish that is prepared the way I want it and I would enjoy that so much more. (3) ok so I have more than two issues... I don't love my food being carted around and set on other people's tables - I just don't trust people not to be using their tongs for things other than serving themselves... (so maybe this is a trust thing ‍) Service is always wonderful though and honestly both locations (Tysons and Reston) I have been to have a great look and feel - despite my issues with it - I go, because it is fun with friends I will add that I do think they have a decent burger and I like their yucca fries, so if I was by myself, I would just sit at the bar and order that. Last thing - I promise - they have specialty nights, like wine nights where they pair wines with the meat and I think you can win the wine - I would be into that. Also - there is a rival in the area, Shima - in my opinion, Fogo has the better meat. read more

I've been to the Reston Fogo 3 times and must say the latest one is the least enjoyable experience. It was for a Father's Day lunch with my son a day early on Saturday. The salad bar selection seems to be of less quality than before. The plates they bring to the table with mashed potatoes and plantain is smaller than before. The meat going around the restaurant seems to be only around 5 to 6 selections with lots of chicken variations. I do like their chicken but Fogo is known for their meat so a bit disappointing. I had to ask for Beef Ribs and Lamb Chops which is unusual. Maybe it was Saturday vs. Sunday At least the waffles are still around for a good dessert to end the lunch. Might have to go to the Tysons location if I want to do Fogo again or try the other Brazilian restaurants. read more

First time here. Food was great!!! My son and I really liked the concept and getting to choose what meats to eat. Good variety of meat and the salad bar was fabulous! Service was not great as we never saw them after they asked for our drink order and it took us a long time to find someone to pay our check. Will try again because the food was that good. read more

We have been visiting Fogo chain since they landed in the DC area over 10tears ago. But today was our first time visiting the Rockville location for my birthday. This has to be the worst experience I've had at Fogo in 15years. We were skipped over so many times and even after making request only were given the option for chicken and spicy steak. The servers would constantly walk past us to visit the tables of the non black customers. We paid $250 for the worst dinning experience. I dont thi k we will ever return. I feel like we were robbed of our money and family time. read more

Not every Fogo de Chao is equal! I've been a loyal Fogo customer for years, and I can definitely say that not all locations serve the same quality of meat. This Reston spot is probably the second best after the DC one, not just because of the vibe but also the steak quality. They always nail the perfect temperature, and the steak runners here really know how to get you the right cut. read more

‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼ INFO WHEN ORDERING WATER ‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼!! I came here with my extended family for Thanksgiving. We were seated in the corner - which we were initially fine with. A waiter came by and interrupted us twice, forcing my grandfather to scoot in so they can get a bottle of wine from the glass cabinet. Ok. We asked for water and a Diet Coke and had to ask 4 servers until we finally talked to the manager for the poor service (not having received our drinks for over 15 min). We were met with great service afterward. However, when we received the bill - we were charged $50 for water ($10 per bottle). If we're getting charged for water, it would be nice if we could be offered the option for tap instead of just "sparkling or still" which is misleading. I expect it to be CAPPED and UNOPENED, because who is to say it isn't just being refilled? read more

I took a group of 13 coworkers to Fogo de Chão for an after work dinner and we all loved it. We got the"Best of Brazil" special. Service was spectacular! The meats just kept coming - one juicy morsel after another with stops at the fresh market bar for adding greens, cheese, fruit and salads. This was truly a memorable meal! Atmosphere is lively with lots of wait staff proudly bearing mouthwatering steaks to slice at your choice of rare to well done. Don't forget to save room for the dessert! I recommend the tres leches cake for a real treat. I can't wait to return for more! read more

My wife and I visited for our weekday dinner. We've been to various Fogo locations and this was our least favorite. The setting felt darker than other branches during dinner and the salad bar was limited compared to other locations, specifically Tysons and Northern Bethesda which I've visited in the past couple months. There was an event happening during our visit, which seemed to slow down the meat rotation around the tables. We also had to ask multiple times before our drink refills were brought to our table. read more

We ate at Uncle Julio's and decided to grab another drink here since it was my friend's birthday! We walked in and sat at the bar the bartender was unfriendly and just rude. Ignored our greeting and when he handed us menus ignored our thank you's. Just seemed like he had an attitude which was just uncomfortable so we decided to leave. This isn't the first time this has happened to me at this Reston location. I would recommend avoiding this location and going to the one in Tyson's corner. read more

We went here recently to celebrate my brother getting a new job and it was pretty good. We went for lunch on the weekend (Sunday) and didn't wait long for a table for 4. It was very busy, but the restaurant itself is roomy and nice. We got to try the buffet to start and it was good but I could tell certain items hadn't been replenished or refreshed as much, so avoided them. We all decided to have the unlimited meat option and once we flipped our cards to green, waited a bit, then got to try all the options. We enjoyed most everything, except for the pork and chicken were dry, although some portions were better, according to my brother. We didn't seem to have one consistent server and the service lacked due to this, with us missing some drinks ordered. Overall though, the staff was friendly and super helpful. Enjoyed the meal here! read more

5 Stars: Miguel at Fogo de Chão - The Best Bartender in Reston Town Center! I simply had to write a review for Miguel, the bartender at Fogo de Chão in Reston Town Center. If you're looking for a consistently great drink and phenomenal service, he is your guy. I've been to this Fogo a number of times, and every time Miguel is behind the bar, the experience is top-notch. His drinks are consistently delicious. Seriously, whatever I order--whether it's a classic Caipirinha (which he makes perfectly, naturally) or something more complex like a custom martini--it always comes out balanced, ice-cold, and exactly right. It's rare to find a bartender who nails every drink, every time, but Miguel does it. Beyond the quality of the cocktails, his service is incredibly fast and attentive. Even when the bar is completely slammed (and it often is!), he manages to take orders, mix drinks, and keep the whole area running smoothly without ever making you feel rushed. He's efficient, professional, and genuinely seems to enjoy what he does, which makes sitting at the bar a pleasure. If you're dining at Fogo de Chão or just stopping by the bar, do yourself a favor and sit where Miguel is working. He's a true pro and a huge asset to the Reston Town Center location. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Fogo de Chão - Miguel - Brazilian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

This Fogo really missed the mark. Similar to other reviews, the meats aren't as tender nor flavorful as Fogo's of the past. The servers slow roll what meats come out, i can only say no to chicken thighs so many times, and filet came out once, only when i requested it at the end of my meal. The rest was fatty, dry, and ether well done or rare. Asked for med rare and the server cut a well done piece, said "oh that's more well done" and then walked away. I will not be coming back to this location. read more

Went there for lunch to celebrate my daughter's wedding ceremony. We were seated quickly and the initial contact with the wait staff was good, things went downhill fast. I asked for Sparkling Water and had to remind the waiter after not receiving it. One guest ordered seared Salmon that came almost at the end of our meal. We reminded staff several times. Add insult to injury, the salmon was very dry. The other guest ordered the Meats and buffet. Most of the meats were very greasy and heavily salted. Overall, as a first timer, I don't think I would return or recommend. read more

Visited this Fogo location for a nice girls night with my mom at RTC. Starting off with the salad and sides bar, all items were fresh and a great way to kick off the meal. My mom and I enjoyed hearts of palm, seasoned cauliflower, cheeses, and pumpkin soup. But make sure not to fill up! They also provide you with tasty Pao De Queijo (cheese bread) and tasty, buttery mashed potatoes for the table. As for the meats, all are very high quality cuts. My personal favorites were the Garlic Steak and Filet Mignon tenderloin. My mom enjoyed the Alcatra Top Sirloin as well. Everything was so delicious we were running out of plate space before we knew it! Our server was so kind and even gave my mom and I a special dessert after hearing of my graduation a few months prior! Quality service and amazing food - highly recommend this location to anyone interested in trying out this classic Brazilian stakehouse. read more

We came here to celebrate our second anniversary! I loved having brunch here. It's the second time we've eaten here. The brunch deal is wayyyy better than the dinner. It's all you can eat as well, but it's around You get pretty much all the same food options plus some specialty breakfast options. There's a breakfast bar with fruits, parfait, salmon, cheeses, meats, etc... they also have an omelet bar and a waffle bar all made fresh! The service was good, our waitress came by every so often to make sure we were good. The meats came around generously. The restaurant wasn't super packed. They also have a everyday happy hour deal at their bar. The ambiance is very nice for celebrations and work meetings. There's garages and street parking. My favorites from brunch: The omelet station The waffles The garlic butter filet Top sirloin Ferric Parmesan chicken Parfaits Chorizo Filet Lamb read more

Ambiance- excellent location. 2 parking strutted located next to the restaurant. When you walk in, you are greeted by the wide well lit space. The tables are spaced out and not on top of each other. Food- excellent cuts and if it wasn't on the rotation they asked us for our preference. We asked for lamb chops and nice fresh chops were delivered. A generous portion for those who requested them. We also asked for flank and they cooked to order. Ribeye, the various sirloin cuts, chicken and sausage were on the rotation. They also served a honey cheese that was super tasty. Their market buffet was a treat for the keto lover in our group. Fresh salads, various soups and sauces. All fresh and we definitely visited a few times. Service- our server and the other team members who served drinks were amazing. The reason for the drop in star is the server who cleared off our table. This woman was ridiculously clumsy with no apologies. She dropped a plate with leftover food and the remnants spilled on one of our guests clothes. Then she came back a second time to clear off and dropped a steak knife next to the same guest and almost hit our guest. NO APOLOGIES. She was in a hurry. That's unacceptable. We did the brunch for a mere $49 and it also included a made to order breakfast omelet and waffle station. We did not indulge because the lunch portion was more than filling. read more

Food: served hot and temperature was spot on as we had requested. Service: the food servers were very timely, coming with various cuts of meat: filet, rib eyes, a variety of sirloin, pork belly Ambiance: it was mid day and our party decided to dine in the bar area.

update: I was invited back to FOGO De ChAO by their management to re-review, and I was impressed by their dedication to customer service and quality of food. There was day and night difference in the dining experience, the full experience dinner meats were seasoned well and there were numerous meat options and wasn't limited to pork cuts like the last time. They have definitely re-gained my business back by taking initiative. Shout out to Samuel for arranging everything and delivering great customer service. read more

That's a great restaurant. Momma wanted to dine here for her birthday, so we made it happen. Made a reservation for 5:30 on a Saturday evening. A bit early, but glad we did so --- got there before it got busy. Got a beautiful quiet place to sit, away from the kitchen and the crowd, and had an absolutely wonderful meal. Attentive staff all around - I believe our primary server was Gabbie, and she did a wonderful job. They all did. We had at least four different people checking on us and taking care of our needs - and that's not counting the gentlemen bringing the various meats to the table. I filled up on salad bar primarily - and I am perfectly happy with that, as that salad bar had so many awesome things to offer - including carpaccio, salmon, and other yummy offerings. I mostly ate sirloin - which was absolutely perfect. Momma had that, plus lamb, filet, and a few more items. Even the fried polenta and plantains were perfect. All in all, a great evening. I am glad we made an earlier reservation because, by the time we left (7ish), the restaurant was getting quite full. Definitely will be back. read more

This is your run of the mill chain restaurant. Great for folks who like to eat a lot of mediocre food. Steaks were chewy, chicken so-so, salads nothing special (typical ingredients with some slightly moldy leaves). Service was alright but we waited a very long time for drinks, which only came when the waiter stopped at our third time without them and realized how long it had been. I wouldn't ever go again by choice. For the price, you can get much better food at a steakhouse like Ruth's Chris. Don't waste your money or calories. read more
