Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

If I could give this establishment ten stars, I would. The plentiful amount of staff will take care of everything you need and request in a timely fashion. All of the staff members are incredibly accommodating. Every one of the food items is amazing, fresh and at the correct temperatures. The restaurant is clean, open and bright. This was a great experience and I will definitely be back again. Thank you for your hospitality.

So my husband and I eat here quite frequently and I haven’t had the exceptional experience as when we dine at the Tyson’s location. My husband prefers the DC location. This is the second time this exact thing has happened to me which is why I chose to write this review. Carlos was our bartender and he was amazing!! The issue is we ordered two cheese cake slices and two lava cakes when we were about to eat the last chocolate cake the strawberry was covered with green mold🤢

Yesterday, my wife and I had an awful experience in Fogo de Chao Notional Harbor. It was quite disappointing because it was our honeymoon dinner. Our server did not replenish our drinks until more than an hour into our meal. The restaurant brought the same four types of meat. Also, the majority of the meat was not cooked to my requested medium-well temperature. No joke, I had to replenish our own drinks at the bar. Even after I spoke with the manager at the bar while refilling our drinks and explaining how terrible our experience was. (with respect, I should add) He never came to our table to check up on us. To add more context, the restaurant was not packed with patrons or even at half Capacity. I would not recommend this restaurant!

Went for the first time on my birthday (in May). We ate outside on the covered patio. It wasn’t too hot. Our servers were very attentive and were knowledgeable in explaining the menu items. The manager was extremely friendly; he took the time to come to everyone’s table to greet them. I told him that it was my birthday and he offered me a dessert. I told him that I’d love to indulge and that I was lactose intolerant. He sighed and said he’d have someone create a special authentic Brazilian dessert. Moments later, I was presented with a plate of grilled pineapples! It was soooo delicious!! The food from the buffet was tasty and fresh. Their meat dishes are well seasoned and cooked to perfection! This establishment is family friendly. I will go back soon!

It was my Birthday, and it was a big disappointment. The food was okay but the service was terrible. Our table was in the corner and meat runners were mostly served on middle tables. We tried just a few types of meat and kept asking to bring lamb chops and finally after 1, 5 hours we've got a couple of pieces. I remember they had just opened in 2023 right before my birthday and I celebrated my birthday there because of the beautiful view, it was not great but it was okay. This year was a terrible experience. I love Brazilian steakhouses but next year I will pick a different place.

Wonderful experience while on a day trip to see the Titanic Exhibit. The host was incredibly helpful and was able to help find us a table as a walk in for our anniversary. Phenomenal food and drinks as always with Fogo!

Great spot to enjoy Brazilian steaks. My first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse. We didn't have reservations but they still found us a table. The atmosphere was great and the staff were welcoming. Unfortunately they took quite a bit of time to start coming by our table with meats. The buffet was really good though and drinks that we tried were great. All in all I would recommend. Keep in mind that you will have to pay for parking (20$ for 1 to 3 hours) and it's a higher end Steakhouse commanding higher menu prices. Our meal came up to 200USD after tax and tip.

They have a fantastic buffet. I ordered the lamb chops, which were delicious. They also have a great drink menu with exotic fruits.

I recently visited Fogo de Chão with my wife, son, and nephew on a Sunday, and it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome and well-cared for. The food quality was superb, with a fantastic variety of delicious meats and sides that kept us satisfied throughout the meal. The dessert selection was also top-notch, providing the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Overall, Fogo de Chão delivered an exceptional dining experience, and we look forward to returning soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

We enjoyed the food here. There was a great variety at the market table and I enjoyed the presentation. While there was some signs missing at the feijoada bar, I chose not to get any since I didn't know what was in each covered pot. The waffles and food was delicious. Definitely a better taste than the other locations. My only complaint was the service provided by the servers. It was lacking check ins and making sure everything was fine. I would have given 2 stars but the service provided by the Gaucho Miguel made this experience a better one. We hope to see him again next time.

Visiting Maryland! Visited Fogo De Chao of National Harbor MD.... Had a Hummus appetizer at the bar while waiting for my beloved friend and hubby to arrive... Moved to the main Dining hall with the fantastic view of The Capital Wheel! I would highly recommend trying out Fogo44. This is a meatlovers dream. All you can eat of Fogo's Signature cuts! This gives you continuous table side service of select Fire Roasted cuts. Keep your marker up on the green to keep the servers bringing over the delicious cuts of meat... (my favorites were the picanha or prime part of top sirloin and Cordero which is lamb picanha). Flip over your marker to show red if you're done (or on pause trying to make room for more!) Definitely one of the best meals I've had in MD! And I can even have these here at home in OC! Irvine, Huntington Beach or Brea! This place is a must try, fellow Yelpers!

Food was OK. The buffet bar was messy and we sat near the bar serving alcohol and there were people seating at that bar that constantly cussed and their conversation was very loud. Otherwise, service from our waiters was great and the welcome we received when we entered the restaurant was good. The chain restaurants in Washington DC and downtown Baltimore are better.

At last! I've been trying to catch Happy Hour (HH) here for two weeks with failed attempts, until today that is! I was lucky that my baby found us seats! He raves about this place and yes, he has every reason to. Great menu for HH! Drinks are great! Food is fantastic! Finally conquered my first of many HH's here at this location! Vibe is romantic with dimmed lighting. We were casual but you could definitely dress up.

If you're not a large protein eater this isn't likely the venue for you but if you are and enjoy decent quality cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, pork...you'll be pleased. Overall it was a great meal but the real standout here was the salad bar. Go figure but you can't really get your money's worth just from eating the salad bar. Why the 3 star rating...the waitress was lousy. She wasn't attentive and didn't seem interested in being there. This place is too expensive to have lukewarm staff. Meat is 4 stars and the salad bar is 5 stars.

I have dined in / worked at a Fogo de Chão, and I must say that Miguel the gaucho was the only person who had the best service. The servers barely checked up on us and to make sure it's okay, the presentation of the market table and gaucho pit was beautiful as well as the ambience. I would've given more stars but like I said the service was only good from Miguel

Brunch on a Sunday with my sister and niece was really good. We made a 12pm reservation and arrived on time. It was very chilly inside - it was also an unusually chilly day too. It took a minute to get warmed up once we were seated. Food was yummy. Staff was pleasant and walking around with various cuts of meat. There was a waffle station, salad bar and omelette station. The coffee was delicious. The waffles have an insane amount of seasoning in them (maybe cinnamon and/or allspice) and they were making waaaaay toooooo many to just sit and be cold with room temperature syrup. My sister ended up getting some warm syrup. The manager walked around periodically making sure that everyone was good. We parked in the area near the carousel. There was plenty of parking down there-they do not validate parking so we paid $15 - not bad. I'd go back.

The view is outstanding Salad bar amazing Meats aplenty Drinks phenomenal Must go if you can eat a lot

Since moving to the National Harbor in 2021, I've seen restaurants come and I've seen them go. Mostly because of the pandemic so it was definitely survival of the fittest. One of my favorites (McCloone's Pier House), was not one of the fittest..smh!! That said, when I saw that Fogo was taking over that space, I had mixed emotions for a couple reasons. Most FDC locations are huge and this space is not. Second, my visits are glutenous experiences because it's super hard to stop, so I've intentionally stayed away...lack of damn will power..LOL! Well, they enclosed the patio which expanded their year around seating and I have discovered the bar menu that is freaking OUTSTANDING!! What other high end restaurant offers (7) lamb chops and (1) HUGE beef rib for $15 each, Chicken sliders and wings for $6, and a huge cheeseburger with fries for $9. Oh, and these are not Happy Hour prices, this is an all day menu. Not to mention, their Brazilian inspired mixed drinks are $10 all day! I almost didn't write this review, fearing the word would get out about the bar flow and I'll have a difficult time finding a seat now, but I couldn't keep this jewel to myself!!

This experience at Fogo was much better than my first (COVID) experience at another Fogo. We were seated in a awkward part of the restaurant as wife and I were at a a 2-top beside a wall where it was hard for servers to see us and be included in their route. We informed the manager of the lack of service and everything changed including the experience. Our main server was good, recommended good drinks to us and pretty attentive. The food was good, not extraordinary but good given its mass produced for mass appeal. I would put Fogo on par w other Brazilian steakhouses. I'll even go back to this one. Oh the salad bar took my rating from 3 to 4 stars. Great variety the food looked fresh and their was a lady who took time to explain taste expectations of some of the food I was unfamiliar w and was on par.

Fogo de Chao for a special Ladies 55th Birthday! Party of 6 with 6 pm reservations. No wait and not crowded. This is my 2nd time coming to Fogo de Chao and my 1st time at this location. The salad bar was well-stocked and fresh and all the meats were "meating" to perfection. Any choice of meat-chicken, pork, beef or lamb- is yours for the asking. The meat was well-seasoned and tender. I did not eat bread, cheese or mashed potatoes by choice(but Ba-be, trust me they are all mouth-watering good!). I am trying to get back to my pre-Covid stats and it is not easy with all this good eating up in here! But I digress. It was intimate with the smaller group and the low lights. It felt festive and fun with the view of the Harbor big feeris wheel right outside our window and the white Christmas tree at the entrance. We sang happy birthday to the birthday girl, talked and laughed. A good time was had by all.

I hesitate to write this review because FdC happy hour is such a hidden gem that I hate to share it with the rest of the world but alas here i am. You come to Fogo if you're a true carnivore and their cuts of beef are top tier, as is their wine list. Their salad station has some incredible options - way too many to list but the aged parmesan cheese is a repeat on my plate. Ive come to FdC quite a few times for dinner and only recently discovered they have HH, which is limited to the bar area. The selection of bites are pretty dope - saucy wings, bone in ribs, house made hummus, grilled cheese with spicy honey and others. One of my favorites is the gaucho hummus (topped with a chimmichuri and grilled steak bits - SO yummy!). Wine selection is good and greatly priced for HH and the place is just... vibe. The sunset is absolutely incredible so nab a seat on the patio if available. The staff is pretty amazing too. Considering all the challenges within the service industry, they handled the overwhelming crowd with an extreme amount of grace. During my most recent visit, there was only one bartender and she handled the orders like a pro. I wish I got her name so I could shout her out! Also the manager in duty, Phumza, was pretty great also. A constant flow of people and she managed the patrons and staff with ease! I'll def be back again and again!

October 3, 2023 (around noon) On my very first experience to Fogo I was treated like my experience was a priority to the staff! I really appreciate that! I wish I could remember the bartenders name, her customer service was top tier! She offered drink and food suggestions, she was personable and she managed the bar very well, alone! We were also checked on by a manager named Edgar! He was a great manager. Very professional, he checked on us a few times which really stood out because we also watched as he checked on other tables. He was very busy but still made sure his floor staff were covered and guest we're comfortable. You could see that his leadership qualities trickled down to his team. The lunch rush was well maintained! Kudos! My husband and I enjoyed our experience so much we decided to check out the night experience on October 15, 2023. We arrived later in the afternoon this time. There was a male bartender named, Kaseph. He was also top notch. He knew the menu in and out, he made recommendations. Which we added to our selections and enjoyed! He also made delicious drinks! We really appreciate having such great things to say about our experiences at this Fogo location (National Harbor). We are actually headed there as I type this review up!

This is my first time at this restaurant and my experience started out on hold for 53 minutes and then they hung up on me! The place is near capacity, so service was understandably, not the best. Because I was by myself, I was seated immediately, however, I had to wait an additional 15 minutes to meet my waitress, whom I had to flag down. When you first speak to your waitstaff, make sure you ask for stake sauce, drink and anything else as you want, as you may not see them again until bill time. The meats are expertly cooked, but is lacking an element of full flavor. The ambience is rather wonderful, albeit kind of tight to make it through to the salad bar. In short, if you need to get your carnivore on, this is the place to go! Sorry, I was too hungry to take pics!

Officially meat drunk! So many selections and the red blend wine pared perfectly! Beautiful location as we had a window seat with a view of National Harbor. As always the food was phenomenal and the service spot on. Samantha ensures that the teamwork and hospitality of this location continues to run effectively and efficiently. She was out and about to make sure that guests were taken care of, tables cleared, and that the team was working to make sure every guest had an excellent experience! We had a phenomenal time here and would highly recommend this location as there is nearby parking (which was free this weekend). Afterwards you can stroll the waterfront and even watch a game on the giant TV screen.

Came here for lunch for my bday. Food was very good. Service was great although it took me a long time to get my drink. Ambiance was great. The lunch time service was very affordable. Definitely coming here again. I highly recommend it.

I've been wanting to try the bar menu ever since someone I use to know constantly raved about it. Well, my birthday was a great day to check it out. For a Tuesday the restaurant was bustling with patrons but the bar was empty and although we had reservations with a great window seat available I passed... besides the National Harbor view is old news and not that impressive after seeing it consistently over the years. Nonetheless, Ian screwed up our order multiple times, dropped my drink (broke the glass), yet we had a great time!! The lamb chops were worth the wait, the empanadas were delicious and there were no complaints on food the entire night. The bartender Ian serenaded me with "Happy Birthday" although the restaurant does not participate in such activities for guests. Lastly, he went above and beyond in the kitchen to correct the order... how, I'll keep that between us. Honestly, the bar experience and food was great even though the restaurant itself wasn't too impressive in comparison to other locations I've visited. I will definitely return to dine at the bar but have no interest or intention on ever dining in the dining room area(s).

A quick anniversary get away landed us in the Maryland national harbor. We called and got a last minute reservation at Fogo. The location is great, the food looked good and the all day happy hours were enticing. We were seated immediately and greeted by our host. There is a regular menu and also two options for the unlimited buffet style, the more expensive one includes better cuts of meat including lamb, filet mignon and rib eye etc. For a lesser price you get many other meat options as well. They also have a great drink menu that has wine, beer and drink specials from 5-10 dollars each. We started with a round of drinks and headed to the buffet table. I really liked all the options and the explanations on the cards. The service was excellent while we didn't see our server a ton, we were greeted by many many people. Our plates were cleared, offered drinks etc. The dessert was excellent too and they noted that we were celebrating a special occasion which I included in the reservation notes. While we don't have a Fogo in our area, we will be back next time we are visiting!

I recently went back to the National Harbor location and the level of outstanding service has increased 1000%. We noticed the change as soon as we walked in the door. The hostess team was delightful, our server and her team were attentive, and a Customer Service Manager came around and checked on us and she asked what they could do better to help enhance our experience. I was floored but happy that a restaurant was putting that much care into our brunch experience. With the combination of the atmosphere/vibe, the food, and the service, this location is our go to meals after church on Sunday. I am so excited to have a restaurant that values a customer's experience so close to our home. Keep up the outstanding work Fogo Da Chao Team - National Harbor #HappyEating

I ordered the lobster and shrimp tacos lettuce wraps, clean Sour drink, strawberry hibiscus drink, and my coworkers had the cucumber drinks. They also had ordered the chicken sliders but they ran out of bread but told her last minute and when she ordered the empanadas they took forever to come out so she canceled them. The service was ok but I think we came at the wrong time due to the all day happy hour and we sat at the bar. The bartender was working hard to make sure we were good. I would definitely come back for happy hour but try to get there early before the crowds so that I can get the full experience. I don't like red meat so I want to check out some other items on their menu. The drinks we had were DELICIOUS AND VERY Refreshing! Also, the lettuce lobster and shrimp wraps were a great taste!

Horrible experience: Rude waiter, mediocre service, inattentive staff. We are not high maintenance by any means but paying $44/person and having to ask for missing cutlery and getting eye rolls for it from waiter who was also acting very annoyed is not right. Food was ok but never again.

Finally got around to trying Fogo De Chão's happy hour! I tried 3 different Caipirinhas... the strawberry hibiscus, passionate, and original. All were so good. If you prefer sweet, try the strawberry hibiscus. My favorite was the original. To eat, I got the Brazilian Empanadas, Queijo Assado, and the Picanha Burger. The Brazilian empanadas were good, the meat mixture inside wasn't as filling as I thought. It was seasoned okay, nothing too spicy. The queijo assado was really good! I'm a cheese girl and I loved the honey dip as well. For some reason they just couldn't get the temperature right on the burger. I asked for my burger medium and was given a well done burger. They guy next to me asked for medium as well and had to get his sent back almost twice. So make sure you really specify! Service was great. I sat at the bar and both bartenders were awesome! The atmosphere was pretty lively... many groups and couples in the restaurant. I will definitely be back to have the complete experience! The meat smelled so good coming around! This location seems new and was pretty clean. Date of Service: Juneteenth!

Went here with a couple of friends to celebrate my birthday month . Our experience started off a little rough because of lack of communication from some of the staff. But once we brought this to their attention it was rectified. The bartender Kaseph is AMAZING and made the continuation of celebrating my birthday a great time. We will be back!

Great service with variety of meats. Hostess was able to accommodate us by seating our large party 30 minutes early. This location has a beautiful view of the Potomac River as well. I will most definitely return with my family someday. Thanks for the experience.

The very best casual dining experience and salad bar in the DMV! Came here for a birthday celebration and everything was top-notch. We were a large party of 22 people, and David our waiter was amazing and Edgar the Asst. Manager made sure we didn't want for anything. Even though there was a mishaps in our seating preference reserved when we arrived, the issue was quickly acknowledged by the manager and addressed by him, and his team. I completely appreciate it the attention to detail and service he provided, along with his team. Once the issue was straightened out, we enjoyed the full experience of great grilled and seared meats. The options and cuts of meats were plentiful and of great quality. Amongst all the many meat options......the lamb chops, ribeye, and bacon-wrapped chicken were my favorites! I can honestly say I left out of there, Buddha belly,-rubbing full and all smiles. Also, I must give an honorable mention and shout out for the drinks and libations served as well.....strong, well-crafted and distinct. Whoever were the bartenders that night were on top of their game! Nothing but great things to say about the entire experience. As an insider tip, there is seating within an enclosed outdoor- glass patio area that I highly recommend. The harbor and water views from the space were perfect for the birthday celebration and made for a festive time, where a large party such as ours could be accommodated, enjoy each others company and be properly catered to without distracting others dining in the same vicinity. This was my first time at this Fogo de Chão restaurant location, and will not be my last. Hands down the best food and service amongst all other restaurants at the National Harbor. Pssst! Here's a little Secret: Order the Papaya Cream for dessert......you'll thank me later.

Great location. Great views. Great service. While this one is smaller than most, in particular, the salad bar, I can already tell it will be very popular. Summer time is gonna be litty!! They've been open less than two weeks, and they seem to be doing great! Being at the harbor in itself is amazing! Met a group for brunch yesterday. While I waited, I sat at the bar and got the party started. They have some all-day happy hour specials! I enjoyed the strawberry hibiscus caipirinha - it was good and not too sweet. I also tried the passionate (passion fruit) and I enjoyed that as well. Their yellow bird cocktail (has casamigos) was the most ordered drink! I will try that next time! Shout out to Henry at the bar and all the other amazing bartenders and servers here! As mentioned, it's a smaller salad bar but a great selection and well stocked. Everything was fresh! Since it was brunch, they also offer omelets and waffles. The meat carvers selection was great, and they kept it coming. At one point, I had two plates in front of me. The side dishes are yummy. Get the cheese with the honey! I was a tad skeptical at first, but it's worth it. Overall, a great time was had by all. Can't wait to come back!!

I had the pleasure of getting a reservation in advance for the first night opening of Fogo De Chão at National Harbor. I was seated within a few minutes of checking in! Major plus! Thad was our server in the back room and he was very attentive. I was a little disappointed with how small the market fresh bar was. Usually there is a few areas or large area in most of the locations It also can get pretty packed. We ordered several drinks including the Strawberry Hibicious. We never had to wait for the meat to come out and managers were checking on us all the time ! I will be back!

Wow SMALL BUT MIGHTY!! Ok I grew up in Brazil so feel pretty picky about these places... Maybe it's not as big as the other ones, but the view and interior, and view, are really special... service was AMAZING- a well oiled machine considering it's only been a week or so open, the servers worked together seamlessly AS DID the managers!! The salad bar is small but the items were quality- beet salad - heart of palm- jalapeño salad- those items were authentic. The charcuterie and cheese were fresh and also authentic. The fejoada, (bean stew) was excellent. I think the other location might have more pasta salads / carrot salad / etc- but honestly I didn't miss it. The pão de queijo they brought to the table was great, and I LOVED that they bring polenta sticks / mashed potatoes / sweet plantains that are brought to you table side, is a really chic touch. The meats were cooked beautifully, just a tad too salty but it's probably a standard recipe they have to follow. My caipirinha was also a tad too sweet even tho I asked for less sweet - but again- it's a week old... We'll be back !

I love Fogo de Chao! I have been to other Fogo locations before but this is my first time in National Harbor location. From the restaurant we get to see the view of the water and the marina which is cool! We went for Sunday brunch with friends and ordered the full churassco experience! We enjoyed the food as always! All the meat is high quality and very flavorful! Service is always good and fast! They alway make sure the gauchos bring you variety of meat to chose from! I always have good experience at Fogo and i highly recommend this location!

I was here for a special event so I was unable to try the regular menu items. The specialty margaritas were good, strawberry was sweet for those with that preference. The meat options were overall good. When selecting steak try to avoid those corner pieces that might be chewy. The bacon wrapped steak seemed undercooked as it was just white fat around the meat. The service was good and accommodating. It has nice ambiance especially in the seating on the side room with large window views on the waterfront.

My review would echo that of Larry V. below. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she was excellent in taking care of us. The gauchos did all they could to help us out as well. For reference, I'm pregnant, and yesterday was my birthday. I had a nice Virgin drink, and since I can't have my usual temperature preference of medium during my pregnancy, I requested well done for the entire night. I felt like a broken record continuously telling them that I can only have well done because I'm pregnant, and it seemed like they never had the temperature when they came out. This is not their fault though. They were very kind, and one went back and made the well done request for me with lamb chops - he came straight back to me with the whole thing and gave me as many as I wanted because I was waiting forever for meat to the point that my mashed potatoes got cold twice. My husband and I have been to the Bethesda and D.C. Fogo locations many times. One of those times has been during my pregnancy. We have always had a great experience, but I did not feel like I got what we paid for at this location. It took at least 10-15 minutes after we were sat for someone to come by with meat, and the rotation of meat was not even close to being as consistent as it is at the other locations. The gauchos are typically coming out so quickly that I can't keep up and have to turn my card over to red. My card was on green the entire night. I could tell at some point that the manager and some servers were waiting for us to go because they looked at our table a few times, and I saw one of them point. How can you expect people to leave when we've barely gotten the experience we came for? A different server came by and asked us if we had any special requests, I told him what I'd like, and it never came. Our server came by and asked me if I'm pregnant - it must have gone around at that point - I told her yes and she told me to tell her what I want and she would request it for me. After maybe 15-20 minutes of waiting from the last time someone came around with well done meat, someone had finally come around with one of the requests. However, I was already ordering dessert because I was over waiting for the meat, and the dessert even took much longer than it usually has to come out. This location is convenient for us at this time, but I'd rather make the drive out to D.C. or even Bethesda because I know I'll get the experience I'm expecting to have.

Beware of Unethical Business Practices at Fogo de Chao - Oxon Hill, MD I recently visited Fogo de Chao and unfortunately had an extremely disappointing experience. Despite normally having a good experience at other Fogo's, the service I received was abysmal. Not only was the staff neglectful and inattentive, but they also displayed a shocking lack of professionalism. To add insult to injury, when I left a modest 10% tip on my bill of $5.00 (which I thought was better than nothing) the restaurant dishonestly altered the tip amount to 70%, charging me $30.00 instead of the intended $5.00. This blatant manipulation of my money is unacceptable and speaks volumes about the integrity of this establishment. Such deceptive practices not only tarnish the reputation of the restaurant but also betrays the trust of its patrons.

Went here for the $39 special they've been running. Wanted to go before it ended. I've been before to this location. It still needs a bit of work as downtown dc has better quality experience. Even others I've talked to said as much. My waitress Esther was quick and attentive. Gave me good info about Brazil too. Restaurant does have great view of National Harbour and bay if you get a table on the mezzanine.

Do not recommend this location. Make the drive out to Tyson's corner for a good experience. Full churrasco experience started off ok but slowly the service stopped coming to our table completely. Even the server. Maybe cause we were sat in the back corner? but doesn't make the excuse for the servers helping out customers NEXT to us. We waited 40+ minutes to finally get the bill due to us not being able to find any servers to attend to us. Anyways, go to another location this place sucks.

Great vegan options. Who knew? Also, my server Phumza was really awesome and told me that the salad bar has a ToN of vega options. I would have never gone to Fogo but went for a work meeting and I was pleasantly surprised.

I decided to come here for my birthday with my friends..I've been here before but never his location since i no longer live in the DMV. I love this place, but i will say that the downfall they didn't have enough people to have the meat passes around. It was like we had to keep asking for someone to come to our table and assist or get drinks.. i don't know if it was just a busy night due to the holidays or just lack of employees.. i do like coming here but it was just the lack of our table being settled especially for it to be my bday.

Great service great food they have really turned things around Best place in the whole harbor

We went for the full experience and was excited for all the different types of meat. We sat near the end and none of the meat runners came by our table. We wait almost 40 minutes for any meat to arrive. We asked the server and meat runners for more meat and they all said okay, but never got any of the requests. We did not have full experience. Highly do not recommend this Fogo de Chao. Not worth the price for the hassle to request food. That's the reason they have the flip tokens There were times that the meat runners came to the table with a single serving piece of meat. It was embarrassing to even come to a table of 5 adults with an once of meat and say anyone want this? Much better off going to an actual steakhouse. I do not recommend this Fogo de Chao

Had a Great Time with my daughter at Fogo De Chao National Harbor. The Service was Excellent and the food was Good. The only complaint I have is I Wish the chicken wings and lamb chops came out sooner because I was already full about time they started coming around. Other than that it was a Great experience!!!

The food was great, but the best part of our evening was meeting Randy. Randy really went above & beyond. He really made our experience wonderful! Thank you again Randy for the excellent service!

Went here Thursday October 5 2023 for bae birthday. The ambience is beautiful. Arrived at 8:55pm for our 9:30pm reservation. We were seated promptly. The host even knew my reservation name after I told her I was there for reservations. After being seated David came over and greeted us. He explained the menu options and gave us drink options based on the type of drinks we normally drink. We ordered drinks and helped ourselves to the salad bar. We loved the chicken salad. Drinks met our expectations. They had this cheese they served like the meats and baby it was so good. Bae loved his birthday dinner. David checked in constantly to ensure we were being served the meat we desired since it was close to closing.

Went to steakhouse to celebrate a friend's birthday! Mariam greeted us with a smile and made sure our experience was the best I have ever had.

Happy hour starts at 4:30 at the bar... but the hours say they open at 5. So we waited outside until 5 and then walked in. The entire bar was full. No seating. Usually happy hour encompasses the bar area... which includes tables around the bar. The entire restaurant was empty. We left and went to another place where the happy hour had just ended which made this whole ordeal worse. I don't understand why they don't have happy hour at the 4 tables around the bar. Won't return.

Went out with some friends, and we've been to different Fogo locations, but this location was our first. The atmosphere was very nice and it wasn't too busy, apparently weekdays are the days to go. We all got the full experience (I believe that's what it's called), and we were surprised at how much variety there was at this locations salad bar. Our waitress Stephanie was awesome! She stopped by regularly to make sure we didn't need anything and made sure our experience was a good one. The food was so good, and there was hardly a time when we were waiting for them to bring more out. We all left full and satisfied!

Salad bar, soup and meat always all gross. Service was terrible - hard to get a drink refill

New Restaurant at the National Harbor, sign me up! As soon as we walked in the service staff was on point. The new location is beautiful and the outside view is even better. The food was amazing. The manager Jackson was very attentive. I loved how he interacted with all the customers and helped his staff. You do not have to wait for the meats to come around trust me. Lol I was playing red light, green light, with the tab to stop them from bringing more meats. Most definitely an elegant vibe.

My husband and children took me out for my birthday and Fogón provided amazing service. They allowed me to ask for specific cuts and provided us with any extra sides that we requested. They also allowed my family to bring a cake which I was surprised to see. Hands down an amazing Brazilian steak house.

David Lopez our server is FANTASTIC! He is one of the best servers here and Armando and Edgar ensures the hospitality, food service and decorum are top notch for this establishment. My friends and I love coming here and are always greeted with "welcome home" when we arrive.

Amazing meats and hospitality! Had a great dinner last night for my anniversary. Frequently check upon by manager and all request accommodations were made.
