Great place to eat when in D.C. A carnivorous experience. Make sure you show up hungry. Gorgeous restaurant, great food and service. If you can, save room for dessert.

I am Brazilian and I can say that this steakhouse is the best one outside Brazil. They have a great selection of meat and service is good even when it is really crowded. I think they do a great job maintaining all the main points that makes a true Brazilian steakhouse.

It was a very boisterous atmosphere and people were in constant motion-the people in motion, were bringing the most mouthwatering meats I have EVER tasted! The salad bar was a work of art in itself, delicious from one end to the other (I almost wished I had skipped it to save room for more meat, but it was soooo good).... More

Fogo de Chao restaurants are consistently delicious and always a treat. This location was excellent as we expect from Fogo. The service was outstanding because if the staff didn't bring by meat on skewers that was cooked as we each preferred, within a couple minutes a skewer appeared that was perfectly to our liking. (I like medium but prefer the... More

My mistake was enjoying the salad bar too much before turning my card over to tell the servers to start bringing meat ... 16 different cuts/kinds of meat, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, filet mignon, beef ribs, pork ribs, pork tenderloin, pork sausage, chicken, etc., all flame grilled on a rotisserie and carved right at your table. And the servers keep... More

If you like choice cuts of meat and have a big appetite, you must eat here. I've had the distinct pleasure of eating at Fogo de Chao in Sao Paulo Brazil and at various location in the US. The food quality is the same high standard at each one. The waitstaff does a great job of keeping the food coming... More

Having been to Buenos Aires, and been fortunate to sample tens of good old fashion steak houses...this is about as close as I could compare the Brazilian concept of mas meat consumption=)) Great for big parties
