Overall (A-) I have been a few times over the last few years but this time my expectations were exceeded. 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 read more

Good food, snobbish service. Apparently our server expected us order everything that was expensive on the menu. Low class move. Coaching tip for staff- Don't act noticeably annoyed when people order what they want on the menu just because they aren't doing the upgrades. read more

Fogo is terrific. There's a meat variety here that can seldomly be found elsewhere. A couple of tips to consider to maximize your meal: 1. Come on an empty stomach. The food access that you have here is immense. Most people push the gamut to try as much as possible. You'll most likely leave feeling very full. That's the goal! 2. It isn't cheap to eat here so make good choices. As you're paying top dollar, eat that way too. Choose the meats that you'd otherwise not be able to try at other restaurants. Limit breads and other items that you can get elsewhere. 3. This might not be a popular comment, but I would advise against drinking anything but water. Again, given the price and the types of meats they serve, it's a good idea to limit the things that you can get at any other restaurant. Bon Appetit! read more

My boyfriend and I came for a special occasion. We had a reservation but still had to wait around 30 minutes for our table... the place was packed! In the meantime, we got a few drinks at the bar, which were very good. I knew going in that the food would be filling, but I truly wasn't ready for how often they would come by our table! They respect your space though if you flip your card to red, which means you don't want any food at that moment. I mostly kept mine on green since I wanted to try a bit of everything. All the food was great, including the sides. The salad bar was decent, but definitely not what I expected. Overall, this is a great place to come for a special occasion. read more

This place is absolutely fabulous! It never disappoints with it's never ending selection of meats and even delicious cheese. They ask what cook you would like and if you are waiting on something they will even ask to ensure you're able to enjoy that. I love finishing my meal with papaya cream topped creme de cassis. Come here for an absolutey sensational meal while being able to enjoy your time with great company! read more

I have heard good things as a vegetarian about Fogo de Chao's market table and decided to take a chance on this Brazilian steakhouse. Probably one of the most memorable meals of my travels! The market table is a vegetarian dream - all sorts of salads, sides, cheeses. The pictures tell a better story than I will here. Notable the roasted apples/butternut squash, Brazilian potato salad, beet salad, roasted garlic, smoked provolone, street corn and fig jam scored very high in my book. Completely surprised by the vegetarian entrees - better options than some restaurants that aren't steakhouses! For a few dollars more, I decided to get an entree that includes the market table instead of just the market table. Did not disappoint - the cauliflower steak was perfectly breaded and seasoned (and enough for probably 3 meals by itself). The Xingu beer was light and fresh. Items served table side compliments of the meal were also enjoyable surprises. Fried bananas were a standout (and they sent me home with extra!). Mashed potatoes - which I typically don't like - were 11/10 - buttery, scallion-y goodness. Most wonderful about the experience as a solo diner was the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff, including Moises who was willing to help me practice my Spanish, and the general manager and other servers who checked in on me and felt like a stand-in group of friends on my travels. This was such a lovely experience that I would encourage other vegetarians to check out such an abundance of choices and flavorful, healthy food. read more

First time here and enjoyed the experience. I don't eat red meat but my family does and they were loving every minute. I got the sea bass and it was perfection. The market salad is nice, lots of great sides for vegetarians, eggplant, cooked and cubed squash. The inside decor was modern, open and cool. Friendly, fast and hot. Happy we went and will come back with hungry teenage boys. read more

We had exceptional service tonight at Fogo! I'd like to particularly thank Neal the bartender. She made us the holiday "milk and cookies" drink which was so festive and fun. We ordered before our table was ready and I was going to wait for the drinks but she encouraged me to go to the table and she'd bring it out. Then she brought it to us like we were special guests and then checked on us later to see if we liked it! We dine at a lot of great places so we know good service when we see it and this was it! The food was great as usual too. read more

I loved it! The service was great. The food was amazing. The side dishes that they brought to the table were just as flavorful as the main courses. It was my birthday and I had the cheesecake. It may have been the best cheesecake I've ever had. 10 out of 10 would recommend it! read more

Dined in on a Monday evening for a birthday dinner. The staff were welcoming and kind throughout the night! We did the Churrasco Experience which features unlimited meats, sides, and access to the market table. The market table had a diverse spread of items that were very enjoyable! The addicting cheese bread is also available at your table and our server brought out a dish of mashed potatoes, crispy polenta and caramelized bananas. The tableside meat service was pretty wide-spread; chicken, beef, pork, and lamb. My favorites were the Picanha, Fraldinha, Alcatra, and Bone-In Beef Ancho, and the cheese with honey. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the person celebrating their birthday got to select a dessert on the house, which is always nice of restaurants to do this! This spot is at a great location and features a huge parking lot. read more

My family and I LOVE Fogo. The service is always hit or miss at the locations that we have been to, and sometimes, it's a whole rollercoaster all in one day. We came on Sunday around 5 PM. They weren't super busy but plenty amount of guests. When seared, our server intrigued himself and we never saw him the rest of the time... my parents and I were joking that his shift probably ended but we saw him towards the end of our dinner and l was hella confused. Other servers took care of us. There was one server though that just started taking away things but we weren't done with them. As a server, you ask the guests if they're done with their plates... don't just take them when there's still food AND it's at the middle of the table!! RUDE, DARRIUS At the beginning, the meats were coming. I had 2-3 servers come up to us with picanhas and of course I'm gonna say yes to all of them. However towards the end when we ordered desserts, it took a good 15-20 minutes for it to come out :/ AND THE ICE CREAM HAD ALREADY MELTED IM SAD YO. We said we didn't want the desserts anymore but still gave it to us AND we had to pay for them. Attached is the picture of my melted ice cream. Like that's bad. My family and I love Fogo, truly. But the service, and Darrius, needs to get checked up. read more

We had such an amazing experience celebrating my birthday at Fogo! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming, and our server, Moises, truly went above and beyond. He was quick, attentive, and made sure every single person in our party of 24 was well taken care of--which is no small feat! The food, of course, was incredible. My absolute favorites were the fried bananas and the garlic steak (a must-try!). Pro tip: don't forget to ask for the chimichurri and their special salsa that's not on the menu--Moises made sure we got it, and it took everything to the next level. Between the amazing service, delicious food, and festive atmosphere, Fogo made my birthday celebration unforgettable. I can't wait to come back again! read more

The restaurant is beautiful and clean. The servers were diligent and present. They were a little sloppy and splattered blood all over my area and on my arm. It wasn't appealing. The food was good. I tried things I had not tried before like heart of palm. The asparagus was cold and the zucchini was soft and soggy. I didn't hate the food but I just thought it would be better. I'm not sure I'll return but I recommend you try it in case I just had a weird experience. My team did enjoy it and were very satisfied. read more

Amazing service! Hands down the most attentive and customer-oriented restaurant in Naperville. Our waitress Jackie, our waiter and all the servers were friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely welcoming. The drinks were delicious (and strong!), the salad bar was fresh and flavorful, and every meat was well-seasoned, high-quality, and cooked to perfection. Special shoutout to Manager Tom--he's absolutely stellar. He has a real gift for making every table feel like VIPs. Highly recommend! read more

I guess you'd say we're regulars now at Fogo, when I tell you this has been the best service I received, I drive out of my way to come to the Naperville location when the oak brook location is 5 mins down the road from me. Francisco, Joseph and Netta were amazing! They all went above and beyond to make sure my family and I received all the meats in the temperatures we wanted right away. If you want to go definitely ask for Francisco as your waiter! read more

I rarely write negative reviews but our experience last night was so disappointing from start to finish. I would understand if the restaurant was full and they were busy but it was empty and only about a quarter full. We made a reservation and when we arrived there was no one at the front desk for about 15 minutes. More people arrived and everyone just kept looking at each other like what's going on? Finally hostess comes and takes one of the couple to a table and disappears for another 15 minutes. Finally she comes and we get seated at a table with no tablecloth (see pic). My husband commented maybe they ran out so no biggie but then we see a waiter putting on tablecloths on another table. Food: all the meats they kept serving us were cold and rubbery. They kept coming back with the same cuts even though we already said no; the meats were either overcooked or too bloody. The salad bar looked like it hasn't been changed for a while, nothing looked fresh other than the fruits. Service: inconsistent - we waited far too long between meat offerings. We had to tell them several times for specific cuts since they keep bringing the same cold rubbery meats. This place is not cheap so so you expect good service and food but that was not what we got. Also they tried to charge our daughter the full price when she's clearly under the age to be charged, all she ate was the cheese bread and bananas. We are regular customers and I don't know if we will come back anymore. We've had a couple bad experiences here but last night was the final straw. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Extremely disappointed with the quality at this location. I've been to several across the US and this for sure has been my worst experience. I took my entire family out for get together with expectations it would be similar to my past experiences but it was far from expectations. Almost all the meat was extremely tough, super bland, or overly salty. Service was incredibly slow as well, we had requested the picanha which did not appear till the very end of our dinner, while we saw other cuts like chicken breast come by countless times. Waiters were skipping our table with meats as well and were difficult to flag down. The salad bar was not very fresh either, majority of the fruit were not ripe and many dishes tasted like they've been sitting out for a long time. Only enjoyable part were the table sides, but considering how much it costs for an entire group, it is not worth it for just some sides. Especially considering the night after and the following morning I felt sick in the stomach. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high but none of the meats were really that stellar. Enough for my to take a bite to try and that was it. They were either over salted, too bland, or too gamey. I can only say the parts I liked were the Brazilian cheese bread, corn bread, and some of the sides on the salad bar. Not worth $65. Waited for the picanha and it was ok. Definitely the best of all of them but still pretty mid. Service was really extremely slow (refills, wait times between meats, etc). The placing of tables also make serving the meat extremely awkward, with the servers squeezing uncomfortably close between customers. Overall pretty mid. Maybe it would've better better to order A La carte off the menu. read more

Just had an amazing dinner! Joseph was a great server and made our experience memorable.

We celebrated two birthdays this evening, and it did not disappoint. Our parents came up from Texas to celebrate with us and this was their first time at a Brazilian steakhouse. They absolutely enjoyed the salad bar (commenting on how great the Lox were), the feijoada, and the endless cuts of meat. We even ordered the Branzino which was cooked to perfection, flaky and tender. It was an enjoyable experience for all eight of us. Francisco our server was friendly, outgoing, and accommodating. I definitely recommend this place for the unique experience! read more

April12, 2025 - was at the Naperville location with a large group of about 20 people. We enjoyed the churassco experience as well as the brunch. Some of my favorite things was the bacon on the brunch side as well as the Brazilian lemonade. All of the meats were very, very good. We will return. The service provided by Jackie, Said and Tom were impeccable. read more

Joseph was awesome but we have been here for 30 minutes and only had two meats come by. It's pretty busy today and every time someone brings meat it's the end of the cut and never the right temp. Need more staff on Tuesdays clearly. read more

Fogo de Chão - Tres leches cake was delicious - Brazilian Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I've been to this location for brunch and dinner. I do prefer the Oakbrook location because Naperville seemed more cramped than the other one. Both locations have ample parking. Brunch is currently $48.50 per person. Dinner is $63.50. If you do the ayce, make sure it's the Churrasco experience. Pro tip: if you see any kind of meat on the online menu that you want to try, just request it. Chances are they may not bring all of the meat around unless you ask for something specific. Service at this location was fine. My meat was always warm/hot and they always had medium rare when available. read more

I took my son here for his birthday. I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses before and was familiar with how they work. Overall it was a good experience, however not great compared to other (non-fogo) ones I've tried in the past. Salad bar was standard with some good options to choose from but we were there for the Churasco experience. Meat selection was pretty much what you see at others. Wish the Picanha came around more often, however, if you ask a gaucho they are able to bring it over for you. Most of the meat was really good especially Picanha and top sirloin and sausage. Some was dry, regardless of the doneness you request them to slice for you. We were there for the red meat so can't speak much about chicken selections. Dessert was good. Coke zero I ordered was flat, both times I ordered it so unsure as to why. Wife had glass of the house Rose and Malbec and enjoyed both. Service was just okay. We went without drink refills for too long more than once considering we were seated pretty close to the server station and they weren't too busy on a Sunday night. Not that I really care, but seems the hostess could have been dressed more appropriately for the restaurant, but if a dirty looking flannel works whatever (but we did notice). Overall it was good, but don't think we'll be back unless in the area and for a special occasion. There's another Brazilian Steakhouse not too far from this one that I would more highly recommend. read more

We had a party of 11 people celebrating a graduation and had an awful experience at the end of May. I contacted the manage and was given a gift card to come back. We thought we would try the Naperville location again. We went on Sunday, December 14 at 5:30, had 9 people and WOW. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We had a fantastic waitress and the general manager walked around, helped the staff were needed and spoke to everyone. I highly recommend this location. Thank you for a great dinner! read more

A lovely restaurant, with a very cozy decor. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated even without a restaurant on a Friday night. We enjoyed a cocktail at the bar while waiting and had top notch caipirinhas. The barkeeps and our server Tom were outstanding. This restaurant had a wonderful salad bar with excellent and authentic Brazilian dishes. We received wonderful and catered service with a number of beautifully prepared meats. This is a true example of what a Brazilian steakhouse should be; a unique combination of casual, cozy, romantic, fun. A highly recommended stop in the Naperville area. read more

Excellent food. The staff was very pleasant! Great experience in a terrific location--highly recommend.

I love me some good steak. I have been to my fair share of Brazilian steakhouses. Fogo, Texas de Brazil, Chama Goucha to name a few. My latest visit to Fogo De Chao left me a bit unimpressed. We had to wait a few minutes to get seated. It was a bust Friday night so I was glad we had a reservation. Ordered two bottles of red wine from Chile and they were fantastic. The salad bar at Fogo is really well done. They have a good variety of salads and antipasto. My main issue with Fogo is the quality of the meats. While the taste profile is good its overall a bit too dry. And the amount of chicken that they push is ridiculous. They should rename it Fogo De Chicken. Because for every steak that comes around 3 chicken dishes will come around. In fact it took about 10 minutes for the 1st beef to make it to the table. The reason for it is of course very obvious. They want you to fill up on cheaper chicken and pork dishes vs the more expensive beef dishes. But no one comes here to eat chicken. Also Filet is supposed to be on the menu but throughout our dinner it only made its way to our table once. While we still had a good time I would much rather goto a regular steak restaurant where the quality of beef is better and on most instances you have left overs for the next day. read more
