    Everything about my experience was level 10. From the moment I entered the establishment until I left. This was my first time there and I heard about the $18 lunch special. I wound up getting the FULL CHURRASCO and when I say this was AMAZING!!!! The meat was so hot, juicy and tender. And the pineapples, whatever they did with it (it had cinnamon on it and it was hot temperature wise) I stayed there over an hour by myself and just feasted. The manager kept checking on me to making sure that everything was to my liking. I have to say I recently went to a high end restaurant owned by a tv celebrity who speaks highly on the quality of preparing food and I was very disappointed. I would definitely come to Fogo de Chao. Great food that didn’t break the bank!!!!! Can’t remember the manager on staff that day but Kudos to you. I will definitely be back again🥰🥰🥰

    Love this place! One of the very best two or three spots in Baltimore. You can order food from their lite bites menu or get food straight off the Ruxton menu. By the way the caramel chocolate cake dessert is outstanding. Love going out and enjoying live music (bass, piano, trumpet) - the ambiance of this speakeasy cannot be beat. We will definitely be back.
