We always bring friends here who visit from the UK - there is nothing like this over there! They always absolutely love it. The food is wonderful and the service is beyond expectations. When we visited last week the man who walks around checking everything is ok was so on the ball. It was like he has 20 pairs of... more

We've been to Fogo twice. There will be more. The quality of the food, from meats to beets, was exceptional. An extensive salad bar, perfectly prepared meats, an eshaustivee wine list, and deserts to die for combine for a truely rare and exceptional dining experience. We will return! more

My hub & I LOVE Fogo de Chao, We enjoy churrascarias, and so when we moved to Chicago, decided to try one. We had the meal of our lives here. Incredible meats, lovely service, fantastic salad bar, and the little gougeres (the little cheesy bread puffs) they put on the table are amazing. It's tempting to fill up on gougeres... more

The best meat I've ever had. PERIOD. 16 kinds of barbequed steak, pork and lamb carved for you at your table as long as the green side of your token faces up. When you need to slow down, simply turn it around so the red side is up. A little pricey, but if you can pack in a lot of... more

Was in Chicago with a teenager going to Jersey Boys when I just wanted a nice meal before the show. I had read reviews of Fogo de Chao and was a tad relunctant because of the price. I'm a blue collar worker and am very uncomfortable at a place with 6 forks, waiters galore, coat check etc. I decided to... more
