Mashed potatoes
Ha T.

Friends and I saw a post from professor.maria on threads highlighting the $18 ayce salad bar with the sides (mashed potatoes, fried polenta & plantains), oh and oh course the pão de queijo we knew we had to go. We've been before for the Full Churrasco experience but we also raved about how we could just be full from the salad bar items alone not realizing (until recently) we could just go for it and it was worth it

I think it really depends on the management on the day you decide to do business here. Since it is always hit or miss I'm going to settle with 2 stars. Sometimes it's amazing. The to-go options are usually reasonably priced, unless they forget half the order... sometimes the food and service are spectacular, until you organize a 50 person event for dinner on a weekday and they refuse to bring our beef / picanha even if you ask for it multiple multiple times. You get dry chicken. Dry bacon wrapped something and pork. Not beef not steak. We had 50 people and really one server with meat. They would go straight to the first table close to the entrance of the Private room. Run out of meat. Then go back to the kitchen. The expensive drinks came almost immediately. I would strongly suggest Chima for an in Person event. I sat and kept going to the salad bar had to go home and make my own dinner. Never again. You can take a risk of getting the butcher meat / celebration packages catered here but always check the packaging before you leave the premises. I've been a customer either in person or to go for over a decade and ordered at least 50 times. For almost $100 a person with my generous tipping policy. No longer a fan. Not a recommend. Pass. Go. Elsewhere.

Fogo de Chão delivers an exceptional dining experience from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is bright and airy, with high ceilings and large windows that create an inviting, upscale atmosphere. Isabelle greeted us warmly at the entrance, setting the tone right away. Roger expertly managed our experience, making sure the right cuts kept coming as we enjoyed the Churrasco all you can eat offering. The food was outstanding, perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and abundant. The omelette bar was a unique and welcome touch, with custom omelettes prepared and served directly to the table. Pablo and Lovis were also standout servers, attentive, friendly, and on top of every detail. From start to finish, the service, flavor, and overall experience were top notch. I cannot say enough good things about this location. Highly recommend!

Came here for the first time this year and was not very impressed with the Service today. The buffet food is very good as they do want you to stock up on the buffet items so that you go slow the meats, but I was not impressed with the meat offerings that they did today and they were not coming that frequently to our table and many times we did found ourselves waiting.

Listen- I am no newbie to Fogo de Chão. Sadly, this means that I know the difference between good quality service and subpar. Having that been said, I would highly suggest you visit a different location. The management and the servers don't seem very attentive to customer needs or satisfaction! There were so many times food was brought over and utensils were never provided. It was really difficult to tell who was our server and often times the people that helped us. The most appeared to just be surface from the table next to us or even the water servers! Every time we come here, it's to celebrate something either a birthday or Valentine's Day and unfortunately the Tysons corner Fogo has not made our experience excellent for the past two experiences. This is why I feel so confident to say that the Reston location appears to be much more well managed. In the all you can eat Brazilian steak restaurant categories there is so much competition: chima, Fogo, Texas de Brazil and sadly I will be picking differently next time. Our dessert even came out still frozen!!

The last time I went to Fogo de Chao (NYC location) was over three years ago, and I was looking forward to dining here again at their Tysons location. My friends and I were here for lunch last weekend where we enjoyed the FULL CHURRASCO experience for 65pp. Before we enjoyed the steak, we grabbed some food from the buffet that had ample of salads, cheeses, charcuterie options, and more. I avoided grabbing too much from the buffet because I wanted my fill of steak. I did enjoy the Caesar salad and mushrooms. During the time we were dining, it was pretty crowded, and I don't think we got to try all the types of available meats. Servers will do their best to stop by every table with meats on a large skewer, and if wanted any of it, they would slice off a piece for us. However, I did enjoy both top and bottom sirloin cuts (Picanha and Fraldinha). Both cuts were roasted perfectly and lightly seasoned with rock salt. If I'm ever back at Fogo, I'll make sure to ask for extra pieces of these two. Besides the sirloin, most meats were just OK. There was a garlic steak that was weirdly pasty and unappetizing. The lamb options were incredibly greasy and fatty. I avoided the sausage and chicken since I was here for red meats. Throughout the meal, the servers brought us sides to share, like garlic mashed potatoes and pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread). The pão de queijo had a chewy, mochi like texture -- incredibly addictive with its buttery and savory flavors. To end the meal, we were given a few desserts (cheesecake with strawberry drizzle, chocolate molten cake, and key lime pie) to share. Very sweet desserts, but the chocolate was my favorite. Overall, the food was incredibly heavy and rich, and I don't think I ate my money's worth. After about 10 cuts of all the meats (and sharing some cuts with friends), I thought my stomach was going to implode. It's a nice and luxurious experience, but I personally wouldn't dine at Fogo de Chao more than once every few years.

Today we dined at Fogo which used to be a family favorite for us. We will not be dining here after the worst possible food AND service experience from Khalifa & Samir. Khalifa brought me the wrong drink, forgot our bread basket after saying he was bringing it three times, and didn't bring us any yucca, mashed potatoes, plantains or the chimcurri sauce we asked for three times. Still, we were fine as we understand mistakes happen but then we realized we were being totally ignored. Everytime we'd ask where are the items he would say "oh it's coming," and it NEVER came. Usually this place is defined by its teamwork but if we knew coming here at 8:30pm on a Thursday would mean we'd get the worst possible service and not even the food we paid for we would have opted out. We then had a period of 20 minutes STRAIGHT where we weren't offered anything but lamb chops in the first 5 minutes, which weren't good today. I once again let our server know and 15 minutes went by without anything being brought over. That's when I asked another service for manager intervention and NO manager came for atleast ten minutes. It was not busy in there, as I stated we were being ignored so they could shut down clearly. We started wondering if the kitchen closed and no one told us. The first "manager" came, barely said anything and said sorry the foods coming. By the time the food came out we didn't even want it, after taking a break like that you don't even want to eat anymore. And the meat they brought out was grey like it had the SpongeBob suds. We asked for the check and they gave us the family and friend discount despite none of us even being halfway full & not having received 40 percent of the menu items. Nobody even came back and said anything and the real manager was just doing nothing. The server then took FOREVER with my card and I had to go relieve my baby sitter. When I go ask for my card the manager Samir who ignored me the whole time, even after the issue did not say one word to us but at this moment decided to say "it's all good here." I realized we were intentionally being disrespected and treated as we were upset for nothing? I was completely shocked. Instead of him saying sorry he tells me it's all good, and I have the best chef in the kitchen as if that matters ? The manager was confrontational and showed us no respect. He also said "everything takes a while here," instead of apologizing for his team's shortcomings. Horrible leader, horrible team.

Food galore!! We went as part of our company dinner and had a great time! I'm always worried about parking but discovered that valet is only $5 for however long you stay. Inside was very spacious and lively. Service was on point. The salad bar had a lot to choose from - veggies to accompany the meats! I loved the eggplants (3 kinds !). We tried all sorts of meats that were brought around to us - especially rare beef medallions. Not sure about price as our company paid but I'd say definitely worth for the experience.

Fogo de Chão is a great group experience, with an air of fine dining but still allowing familial comfort in both dress and seating. We came with the intention of eating our fill and enjoying every bite. We were not disappointed. While there were definitely moments when our card was turned green and the service did find its way to us, overall the Brazilian steak house experience was superb.

I've dined at several Fogo de Chão locations, and unfortunately the Tyson's Corner location had the worst customer service I've experienced. We were a party of 8, and our server completely forgot our alcoholic drinks. After waiting 30 minutes, we had to involve a manager just to get them brought out. We also ordered a seafood tower, and as it was being brought to the table, it collapsed--green-lipped mussels fell onto the floor. Instead of properly remaking the presentation, the staff simply split the remaining items into two bowls and served it that way, which felt careless and unprofessional. Service continued to be inconsistent. I asked another server for a crab cracker three separate times, and she forgot each time. A manager eventually had to step in again to bring it. Food quality was also disappointing. The shrimp on the tower was excellent, but the lobster claws tasted frozen and waterlogged--no one at the table wanted to eat them. When we asked for a discount due to the poor quality, we were told the chef could cook it instead. That resulted in rubbery, overcooked lobster that was even worse. Overall, this experience was frustrating and disappointing, especially compared to other locations. I'd recommend visiting other Fogo de Chão locations like DC or Virginia Beach instead. If you're in the Tyson's area, Chima Steakhouse offers a much better Brazilian steakhouse experience.

Happy Thanksgiving

Second time at the TYSON'S FOGO location for Thanksgiving and so glad we did. Their service is wonderful, everything's fresh (quick to replenish), and the meat just keeps on coming!!! TURKEY was so juicy, goes well with their mashed potatoes, and tried the lentil soup for the first time - delish. They have sauces you can request to go with their meat- chimichurri, horse radish, and a salsa/hot sauce- HIGHLY RECOMMEND mixing all three on your plate. FYI, If you're looking for a Fogo for celebrations and holidays w/outstanding service, TYSON'S is a great option. 10 out of 10 for me! Enjoy.

Juan C E.

The place looks amazing vary well we got seated quickly the downsides where the service very slow got my lemonade almost when I was going to leave the food was good a little salty for my likening but to make up for the food and drinks being so late we got a free dessert not bad just service wise needs to improve

Outside the restaurant
Stephanie L.

You're in for a real treat when visiting this restaurant! The food is superb! Be ready to get the all you can eat meal and enjoy mouth-watering meat as staff go table to table sharing their offerings! There is a salad bar that has cold foods available such as salads, fruit and soups. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out and sure to be a meal to remember.

He didn't seem to understand that I wanted the seafood token, but finally got me one (by the way, the grilled cheese with honey is not included with this token...which is odd). There was one guy walking around who asked if we needed anything, so we asked for the salmon/shrimp/grilled pineapple to come around. He delivered! I will say the pão de queijo (cheese bread) was hard. I know how to make these, and it's not difficult. So they were either overcooked or left to sit for too long before they were brought to the table. Overall it was just okay, we had a better experience the last time we went in...I think it was 2021. But husband liked the meat, so I guess that's the point.

We love Ruth's Chris and dine at the Washington, DC locations often, which made this first visit to the Tyson's Corner location particularly disappointing. We were seated at the bar and waited 10-15 minutes before the bartender, Carly, acknowledged us and brought our drinks. It then took about 20 minutes to receive bread, and our appetizer didn't arrive until right before our entrées. To make matters worse, the food runner initially delivered our appetizer to the wrong table before eventually bringing it to us. We were also never provided plates or silverware and had to retrieve them ourselves from a nearby table. As the evening continued, we noticed other patrons doing the same and grabbing their own silverware from nearby tables. The bartender appeared overwhelmed even though the restaurant was not busy, and another patron at the bar shared that she disliked her drink and that she and her husband also had to get their own silverware. When we were finally given the bill, we placed our credit card in the folio and waited approximately 12 minutes while Carly stood directly in front of us without acknowledging that we were trying to pay and leave. When a restaurant is quiet with only five patrons during happy hour, you expect service to feel attentive and relaxed -- not slow and disorganized. At a premium Tyson's Corner location, expectations are understandably even higher. Valentine's Day is a special occasion, and this visit felt anything but special. We've always associated Ruth's Chris with a polished, high-quality dining experience, so this was especially disappointing. We hope this was an off night and that service improves moving forward.

After seeing the list, we chose Randy's. Randy's is a Great American Restaurant, and I must say it's so good to go to a GAR with a menu different from the others. In the past, I've written about how one can go to Coastal Flats and get pretty much the same menu as, for example, Jackson's. We made a reservation for 5 p.m. on a Saturday. We arrived about a half hour early, so we asked if they could seat us right then and there. The people at the host stand said "yes". We were seated at a 4-top booth. Thus, there was plenty of room. The booths, which have mohair seat coverings, were a shade of green and quite attractive. The environment clearly says "upscale steakhouse." Our server was prompt in getting to us and asked if we wanted some water. We chose tap water. He gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to not have any appetizers as we didn't want to get too full. To drink, my husband got a glass of Catena Malbec while I got an Espresso Martini. Our server asked if we wanted some bread. We said "yes". The bread basket had 2 flaky, buttery croissants, plus a slice of white bread and a slice with raisins. For our main course, we both got the 7 oz. filet mignon cooked medium rare. We chose to try two sides. One side was "roasted asparagus" which consists of: "poached egg, parmesan (we asked for no cheese and our request was honored), truffled Bernaise aioli". The second side was "Honey roasted organic rainbow carrots," which were "dusted with candied walnuts". As for the food --- We both thought our steaks were properly cooked, However, my husband said his was on the dry side while mine was just right. We both really enjoyed the side dishes. The asparagus was unconventional, to be sure. Never did I have a poached egg with asparagus. I ate the egg, and it was properly cooked. Looking back, I should have thought to put some salt on it as there was none. The truffled sauce was creamy and added nice flavor. The carrots, to me anyway, were a pleasant surprise. The honey added a nice flavor along with the candied walnuts. They, too, were cooked perfectly. As for being "rainbow" carrots, most were orange, with some white and yellow ones. We had some room for dessert, so we decided to share "Tressa's crispy meringue filled with lemon curd and finished with passionfruit coulis". Since it was our anniversary dinner, a dollop of whipped cream was added to the plate. In that dollop was a lit candle, which was a nice touch. I found the coulis to be on the tart side. The lemon curd was mildly flavored. Service was excellent, though dessert took a while ,to arrive. All in all, a nice splurge and we're glad we came here.

I also added a side of the House Steak Sauce, and it paired wonderfully with the steak. I highly recommend trying it if you're someone who enjoys dipping sauces with your steak! The service: Overall, the service was pleasant. The staff was kind, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. While there were a few minor hiccups, I enjoyed my visit and would return to try more of the menu.
