    salad bar
    Ray H.

    Second time i've been there. The steak gauchos were extremely slow and they served far less than before ... there was a lot of waiting ... I was disappointed in the salad bar this time too i had to repeatedly ask for meats i expected more for the nearly $400 I paid

    Mauricio and Gabriella took such good care of us. Hadn't been to Fogo de Chao in over twenty years. Did not remember the experience and wasn't sure what to expect. Hubby and I are in Orland Park a lot so I was stalking the opening. They were running a surf and turf special, so what a good time to visit. Unfortunately, our server explained that there were exclusions with the special. We opted for the Indulgent which included EVERYTHING. Full access to the salad and soup bar, crab cake with aioli, two signature sides, the cheese rolls, one cocktail and a dessert. Roll me over and call me done. I enjoyed a delicious salad with bacon, creamy lentils and fresh papaya from the salad bar. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy, the cheese rolls melted in my mouth, the churrasco was tender, juicy and flavorful. My cocktail was refreshingly boozy. I enjoyed a few bites of the molten chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. If you are able to donate five dollars to support 'No Kid Hungry' you will receive an additional FREE dessert and a 25$ coupon to use per party on your next visit beginning October 1st and expiring November 16th. So, that was one dessert to eat at the restaurant and one dessert to go.

    We visited for the second time about two weeks after opening and unfortunately, the experience didn't quite match our first visit. We ordered the Brazilian lemonade but had to ask multiple times and ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes for it to arrive. We also never received the additional water we requested. During the churrasco experience, there were long stretches where we were waiting to be served meat and having to ask for items or assistance. That said, one of the highlights of our visit was an outstanding waitress--a Black woman with glasses, I couldn't catch her name. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made a genuine effort to improve our experience. Her service was deeply appreciated along with a few other waiters.

    I attended a special event here. The food and drinks were great but I wanted to experience the steak. So, disappointed. I will return to try it again.

    Full Churrasco Experience

    I thought having an 84th birthday celebration at Fogo de Chao would be an exceptional experience for my dad, but I was very mistaken and disappointed. Upon arriving at Fogo de Chao, even though the reservation was made 3 weeks in advance, we had to wait until they set up the table for 15 people. I pre-ordered a Tomahawk steak for a dad a week in advance, but we had to repeatedly ask about it. He had to wait over an hour for his steak, and this was so unacceptable and disrespectful. The Market Table and Feijoada Bar was disappointing and overcrowded. The cleanliness of it was questionable with the multitude of people handling the serving instruments. I'm almost positive that my sister got diarrhea the same night because of it. I paid close to $1,700 for my family to have the Full Churrasco Experience, however, we were only offered 5 of the 15 meats that my sales manager promised me (see the attached menu she shared with me). I had to ask 3 different times for just some chicken, and we only received 5 pieces for a table of 15 people. We also did not receive any Queijo Assado. Everything on the table was cold. The mashed potatoes were cold. The cheese bread was cold. Also, why did I have to ask for something as simple as steak sauce? This is a steak restaurant, no? The sales manager that helped me plan the dinner was very outgoing and helpful and first, but right after I signed the agreement, she became cold, and made me feel like I was just a number. I think it would be beneficial if you trained your sales people to follow up and inquire with their customer post-event. The one positive is that our servers were nice and tried to help, however it overshadowed our horrible experience. Fogo de Chao ruined my father's 84th birthday celebration, and I will be telling everyone I know, far and wide, to stay away from this "restaurant."

    Beef rib and Capirihini
    Arnette H.

    The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance. My waiter was very nice. I don't get the Churrasco Experience because all of the meat is too salty and ends up tasting the same to me. But I love the beef rib. I waited over 30 minutes to receive my beef rib. When I received it, it wasn't as tender as the one served in downtown Chicago and it was more salty. The waiter just gave it to me for free for my long wait. My hamburger was very good. The fries were just a bunch of scraps and not full fries so I couldn't eat many of them. My Strawberry Caipirihini was good. I rate my experience a 7/10 since I wasn't in a big hurry and my food were happy happy hour prices.

    Birthday cheesecake

    My kids brought me here for my birthday dinner. And I loved every single bite!! Give me all the meats!!! Our server was extremely nice and accommodating. We had so many questions. The salad bar was a bit overwhelming but that's because of all the options we had. So good!

    Lamb chop sirloin
    Smerna C.

    Service was not what I expected. They young men were very nice & polite but I was sitting at my table for 45 minutes before they actually started bringing me meat. I had to complain in order to have them bring me the variety of meats!!! Tim Darian & Angel were AWESOME!!! Just need train other servers to not leave table just because one person didn't want meat!

    The great team of Fogo!!!

This time we were looking around to find someone to refill our drinks. Our chef seemed new, which wouldn't be a problem but he way overcooked my son's steak and never offered anyone mushrooms. It seemed like he had difficulty portioning the rice and vegetables between everyone at the table. Portions of veggies and rice are significantly smaller. Even the scoop of ice cream at the end is tiny. The food still tastes great, I'm really just not impressed by the shrinkflation. I understand that the cost of everything has risen, but raising prices drastically AND cutting back on the portions - not a fan! We plan on checking out other hibachi places - in the past there was never a question, we always chose Fuji. It's the end of an era...

When it came, it was dang near clear, so I knew that would be my only sip for the evening and some water. lol We ordered starters/apps: Chicken Wings and Cheese Curds. Simple, tasty, hot and the service was SWIFT BABY SWIFT! Entree: I ordered Fish tacos. I had my fingers and toes crossed hoping they were going to be amazing. No sir, no ma'am. Flavorless. They looked great though. I ate half of one and gave to my sib for take home bites. I blame me, I should have ordered something safe, like a burger or something easy peasy. Sis ordered a Patty Melt with fries. Looked good, she stated it tasted amazing. Winner, winner, burger dinner! Bro order a couple things: Chicken Tenders and fries and a Quesadilla. He stated his items were delicious. We sat, ate, sipped and enjoyed the space. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for friend/family gatherings, or popping in for sips and wings. They have an assortment of homemade sips and eats, and their menu is pretty large. If anything, I will be back to try more options of things. Simple grub! Great location and friendly staff!

It was pointed out there was another family waiting to be seated. Hmm. But it was a busy day so we let that go. Fortunately we didn't wait long to be seated. The waiter, although not to experienced, was trying hard and answered all our questions. When we placed our order we were informed several items were not available. Hmmm. It was still early in the day, how do you not have the items. We ordered humus. DELICIOUS!!! Spanish Octopus with white rice, combination plate with lamb, steak and chicken plus the white rice, and finally lamb chops with white rice. Problem the octopus was served first it had superb flavor and not rubbery at all. That was my son's meal. Then about 5 mins later came my meal, the combination which was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was moist!! Finally 5-10 mins later the waiter came and told my daughter that the kitchen failed to tell him there were no lamb chops. So disappointed. They apologize and she ordered the combination plate which came about 10 minutes later. Needless to say my son and I were done with our meal. Problem: initially when we got the hummus we ate it but had to drink water because our drinks didn't come till I got my meal. I reminded the waiter and he explained they had to make the drinks. habiscus water and a mint lemonade. Hmmm Problem: when my son got his octopus, he didn't get a knife and I had to give him my steak knife so he could cut his octopus legs. Finally when we got the bill, we were being charged for the lamb chops!!! Needless to say Al Bahar was recommended by Albawadi Grill waitress. And yes the food is terrific! Even the white rice makes my mouth water. But the service and consistency needs much improvement. Although the waiter apologized, at no time were we offered some type of compensation for all the inconveniences experienced. Not that it's required nor do I expect it but it would've been a nice gesture. The table next to us complained loudly and they were offered free food. We complained subtly and no type of courtesy was extended. Do I recommend. Yes for pick up order the food is scrumptious and No I do not recommend dine in experience. They have much to improve! Goto Al Bawadi instead!! Their food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the humus and fresh made pita unbelievably delicious!

I ordered the ribs, which I first tried about two years ago and have been coming back for ever since. At this point, I choose them over the steak--they're that good. Tender, flavorful, and truly fall-off-the-bone.

The chowder was rich and comforting, while the spinach dip was creamy and well-balanced (I didn'texperience the "crusted" part, possibly softened while I was driving home, but it was still good), making it an easy add-on to the meal.

They can seat a crowd and were doing so when we arrived at about 4:45 pm on a Friday. We ordered drinks and skipped appetizers. The raspberry lemonade drinks came out fast, the Longhorn Old Fashioned took forever... and besides that it was a smallish pour. So the beautiful bar is sort of wasted here. They need more bartenders. For mains ... one in our party had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken (a 4 star selection of tender chicken breast grilled, cut into strips, and crusted); another had the Cowboy Pork Chop (a 4.5 star offering of two very tender chops and the hit of the night); and the last diner had the Chop Steak (2 stars as this meal was ordered MW to Well and came out red, and the baked side potato came with the wrong toppings). So we had some good and some miss. Service was very slow, and only came around to ask how the meals were when we were half done. The third diner didn't want to send his back then because everyone would have been done by the time it returned. No floor manager worked the tables either. So all-in-all 3 stars ... most of the food was 4 stars, while service and libations were 2 stars ... averaging 3 stars overall. Another nit was the suggested gratuity on the tab ... it's calculated after taxes; so why would anyone want to add gratuity on the tax?

The waitress said that they didn't have regular tartar sauce, I thought that was odd serving fish and chips without tartar sauce. It didn't justify the $24.00 price tag. The coffee was very strong, I like coffee a little strong but this was over the top. We had the nicest server named Gloria always willing to help with the menu and refills of Mango Iced Teas. My sisters ordered the Bourbon Blue Cheese Burger and they both said they were very good. I think we are going to go to a different restaurant next time even though we went their several times before. Sorry Rock Bottom!

    We are not local but our son and his family live nearby. Frankie's is his go-to pizza place and…read moreconsidering Frankie's is just down the strip mall from a 'famous" Chicago pizza place, you know they have to be GOOD! Couple of things to know. They open at 4:00 pm. Be there then. At 4:30 pm, the place is crowded! Their staff are wonderful - friendly, fast, make you feel like you belong there. They have a spectacular oven and they can turn out pizzas pretty fast - which is a good thing since I bet they make lots and lots of them every day. We sat at the door for a 'to-go' order and had beer and wine while we waited. What we observed around us is a place that truly cares about its customers. That said, they show that in their pizzas, which are among the best. Give Frankie's a shot. Whether it's pizza to go or a dine in experience, you won't be sorry.

    This is a hard 4.5 star rating on its way to the 5. My first…read morevisit I wanted to grant the 5 star rating, although, I had to hold back to be fair. I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!
