Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, Brazilian steakhouse in Fairfax County, United States
Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian steakhouse in Fairfax County where meat is fire-roasted using traditional churrasco methods and carved directly at your table by gaucho chefs. The restaurant also features an expansive salad bar with imported cheeses, fresh vegetables, and cured meats to accompany the grilled offerings.
The chain was founded in southern Brazil in 1979 and opened its first United States location in Dallas in 2007. This expansion marked the beginning of its growth across multiple states in the country.
The restaurant embodies Brazilian farm traditions through its communal dining style, where multiple meat cuts are shared among guests throughout the meal. This way of eating creates a social atmosphere that echoes how people gather for meals on Brazilian ranches.
Guests control their dining pace using a two-sided card system: green means you are ready for more meat service, red means you want to pause. This system lets you set your own rhythm and eat at a comfortable speed.
The restaurant features servers dressed as authentic Brazilian cowboys who carve and serve the meat with theatrical flair and skillful technique. This performance element adds entertainment value to the dining experience beyond just eating.
