This place is awesome, it's like all you can eat Ruth's Chris but I think the meat is even better. Think about it. They are so eager to please too, even if the food wasn't so good I'd still go there because of the service. more

Quite possibly the best dining experience I have ever had! The service was awesome, the entire waitstaff was taking care of me as if I was their only patron. The meats were the best I have ever had. Well worth the price, make sure you stop here while on your trip to DC! more

This restaurant is a carnivor's paradise. For somewhere around $50 per person, you get an impressive salad bar, tasty sides, and all the fire roasted meat on sticks you can stand. Common advice is to not load up on the salad bar. The meal starts with puffy, airy, cheddar biscuits. They're actually more like poufs than biscuits, and they're fantastic.... more

We went on September 11, 2009, with my husband and two boys, ages 11 & 13. They were extremely happy, since they are very good eaters (especially my 13 year old....5'11", 180 lbs.). Needless to say, I can't believe he didn't explode! He ate everything he asked for and could not say "NO". I was proud, to say the least,... more

This was our second time dinning at the Washington DC location. It is located on Penn. Ave directly across the street from Federal Triangle metro stop plaza. Tip: It is cheaper to eat lunch $35 pp vs. dinner $59 pp. Try to lemonade and go light on the pre-meal salad bar. Be prepared to stuff yourself the variety is such... more

You know what you're getting into - a ton of food and probably a few bottles of wine. This is the place to go to start off a bachelor party or celebrate a new promotion! We had to ask to try some different things, they ave 13 meats and we were only served 9 of those, I know "only 9"... more

This place is by far the best Brazilian steak house I have been to. If I am looking for all I can eat meat this is where I would go. If however I am more interested in quality vs quantity this place would not be my first choice. I have had much better tasting steak at Mortons, the caucus room,... more

We have been to Fogo de Chao about five times, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. We only go for special occassions and it's always a treat. The salad bar is amazing, and the meat is mouthwatering. Even though I don't usually eat much red meat, the filet mignon is delicious. The fried bananas and mashed potatoes perfectly compliment the... more
