Reviews for Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse in North Bethesda, MD

Came here for my surprise birthday celebration. The choices of meat were awesome. Enrique was an excellent server who went above... and beyond. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and drinks, making sure we had a great experience. He always checked on us andmade us laugh. I recommend coming here and ask for Enrique. Read more

My husband took me to eat here many times. Our recent visit was surprisingly better than normal. They were extremely busy, but... as soon as I was seated our waitress , Denise appeared. She is absolutely the best waitress we have ever had. Our drinksarrived and were great. She consistently checked on our table, sending whatever we asked for to us immediately. This tiny womanworked like she was Hercules. Not only did she bus her tables but I saw her helping all the other staff. I'm surprised she hadtime to breath. One the managers Mr.Guillermo Ulloa was also absolutely lovely to us. The meats were coming out none stop. Ididn't try everything. The selections I did have were browned , juicy and moist. It wasn't too salty or dry. The honey cheeseand small cheese bread is addictive. I lost count of how much we had. I suggest you try the virgin pineapple mint lemonade as adrink. I love that stuff. We left satisfied, happy and full. We will definitely ask for Denise the next time we visit. FYI ifyou have room for it , get the chocolate lava cake for dessert. Read more

Excellent food and service. The music was far too loud and despite asking twice (and the waiter saying he'd ask for the music to... be lowered) it was too loud to talk comfortably across a two person table. But, the service and food was magnificent. The saladbar deal for $15 is more than enough for anything other than a decadent, celebratory meal. We took 2 hours for a birthday mealwith the meat, salad bar, wine, and dessert. Despite the high price, it was worth it. Read more

If you have been looking for a great salad bar experience, look no further! I am a salad bar connoisseur and Fogo de Chão... Brazilian Steakhouse, Rockville has won me over! Who knew this steakhouse would offer such a buffet of culinary delectablecreations? Let’s begin with the Gaucho Lunch - Market Table Only, which includes Market Table & Feijoada Bar all for $15.00.What a great price for such a satisfying salad bar lunch haven! While the food is amazing, the side of mashed potatoes, cheesebread and other treats brought to the table, added to the experience. Look at pictures. They only tell half thestory! Additionally, I just visited this past weekend. Brunch was served. OMG! Brunch is priced more but worth every mouth fullof made to order omelettes, waffles and parfait! Kelvin Cruz as well as the other attentive management team, congratulations onmaking my family and guests feel like coming back for more! See you in few weeks!!! Read more

I always enjoy Fogo because the food is so good! My first time at this location for dinner Saturday night—good thing we had... reservations because it was a full house! The restaurant is nice inside. Food is always good—worth the $57.95 per person forunlimited steak and salad bar! I didn’t know they offer Shrimp Cocktail too—only knew because a server was bringing itaround the tables. Cocktails experience was a bit frustrating—we ordered Vodka with soda and they kept giving us vodka withtonic—they messed up over 4 drinks and had to remake them. Not sure why it was so hard to forget tonic vs. clubsoda. Service was great, all the staff were friendly. Read more

Arrive hungry because the endless amount of food will fill you up! Everything was delicious. Be aware of parking because it... takes awhile unless you are one of the lucky ones that finds a spot. Read more

1. Our server was Kanika who we barely saw the entire evening. We had to call her over in hopes that she saw and heard us in... order to get her attention, get plates cleared, get new silverware when the meat servers knocked them off the table, etc. Sheattended to us a total of 2x without us having to call out to her. 2. Every time that we asked for medium well meat we weregiven the bloodiest cuts. The servers assumed because they spun the knife around and cut the same meat from the other side thatwe wouldn’t notice it was still a raw cut. The staff needs to be retrained on their meat cuts and their etiquette. All of thestains that were on the table were from this one server who kept reaching the bloody meat over our drinks, phones, andeverything else on the table. Also, there were meat servers who walked right out of the kitchen and ours and the other tableright next to the loud kitchen to serve meat elsewhere then come back with slivers left - if they decided to stop at all on theway back to the kitchen. 3. There were several employees in the kitchen without masks, and we observed one wiping his nose onhis sleeve before putting the speared meat into the cooker. That is when I decided to start taking photos. ???? 4. I provided aphoto of the sides you get with the $57 experience. There were 3 of us out that night and expected to share that amongst us all.So plan a pre-dinner snack accordingly if you do decide to waste your money here. - Complete and total waste of $70, just toend up going home mad and hungry. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy let alone my friends. If I could give themno stars, I would have. Read more

Pretty solid first experience at this location! Was able to get in without having to fight for any seating. The meat cuts were... seriously perfectly cooked and the salad bar was tidy and fresh and bountiful. I always feel satisfied when I leave a Fogo. Read more
