    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!!!

We went during lunch and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of food and service. I would recommend to go - but don't get the AYCe options - actually order food from the bar menu. Excellent and great value Food (A-) The food from AYCE was a B+ while bar ordered food was a A. So one of my daughters got the churrasco experience and enjoyed the house special and ribeye . The other meats were good but a bit salty. The salad bar was pretty good also. Especially the bacon. Me, my wife and other daughter ordered off the bar menu and it was awesome. We got wings, steak, lamb, and both sliders - all of it was excellent. It was so good that this is going to be our good to place for family meals. Pictures posted below Service (A-) The staff was super friendly and nice. We went right at lunch open so not too busy. Prompt service and great job by the severs. The only caution is the wait for bar ordered food - it does take a while. I think the staff is focused on the Churrasco experience foods so anything ordered does take longer. But they were clearly trying there best Value (A) Split rating - would give Churrasco experience a B+ while bar menu a A+. Posted menu attached - next we go - we may order everything and try it - we really enjoyed it Insider tip- order from the bar menu and the quality of food is much better. If doing the experience stick with ribeye and house special. Join the rewards program - it is worth if you plan to go every few months. Also the interior is well appointed - it's not a quite place but not to loud

We have an autistic son, and the team here has always been patient, kind, and very aware of our needs. That level of understanding means so much to families like ours and makes dining out a truly enjoyable experience. The food is absolutely delicious. The steak is incredible juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. It honestly rivals some of the best steakhouses we've been to and no I'm not afraid to admit that. The salad bar has tons of fresh options, so there is something for everyone, and everything is well stocked and presented beautifully. Now then sangria is fantastic. It's refreshing, light, and perfectly balanced, not overly strong, which actually makes it even more enjoyable to sip with a meal. Between the welcoming atmosphere, clean space, amazing food, and thoughtful staff, this place is a gem. We will absolutely continue coming back again and again.

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different and incredibly disappointing. From the moment we were seated, the service was slow and disorganized. It took an unreasonable amount of time just to receive the basic table items, especially the Brazilian cheese bread. We had already been eating for over 25 minutes and were nearly finished with our meal before the bread finally arrived. When we asked about it, the response was simply, "We're still baking them." That's not the level of service I expect from a Brazilian steakhouse. To make matters worse, the mashed potatoes and fried plantains were served cold. I also had to flag down our server to ask what had happened to our drinks. When she finally brought them, she commented that the drinks had already been made but "they just didn't know where to take them." That explanation wasn't reassuring, and being handed a soaking wet straw only added to the poor experience. Throughout the meal, our server rarely checked on our table. No one came by to offer drink refills, and I eventually had to get up and find a manager myself just to get another beverage. The meat selection was also far below what I expect from Fogo de Chão. Instead of the variety of premium cuts they're known for, we were repeatedly offered pork, chicken, and overcooked picanha. The premium cuts were either very limited or never made it to our table, making the experience feel nothing like the quality I've enjoyed during previous visits. I spoke with the manager about our experience, and to his credit, he sincerely apologized and immediately alerted the team. A young lady, who I believe was a supervisor, also came over to apologize and even offered my friend a complimentary dessert. I appreciate their efforts to recover the situation, but by that point, the overall experience had already been ruined. It's disappointing to see how much this location has declined. I've always considered Fogo de Chão one of the better Brazilian steakhouses, but based on this visit, the service, food quality, and overall dining experience have gone downhill significantly. I hope management takes these issues seriously because this experience was nowhere near the standard the restaurant is known for.

Service moves at a steady clip, and the meats come around often enough that you never feel like you're waiting for the "good cuts" to appear. The salad bar is its usual sprawling spread, but let's be honest: it's mostly a warm‑up before the parade of skewers begins. Everything arrives hot, carved tableside, and cooked to a consistent medium‑rare unless you ask otherwise. It's indulgent, it's excessive, and it's exactly what you came for. One perk of this location: it's attached to Woodfield Mall. If you forgot to make a reservation, it's a great place to kill time without hovering awkwardly in the lobby. And after dinner, wandering the mall is a surprisingly effective way to walk off the mountain of protein you just consumed. For the northwest suburbs, this spot delivers the full churrasco experience -- energetic, satisfying, and perfect when you want a dinner that feels like an event.
