    Free Charcuterie Plate in rewards program, if you don't have salad bar
    Marco N.

    Been here a few times, compared to other location downtown and in the burbs. Smaller location that used to be a TGIFridays. During busy meals time expect some delays and wait time for your favorite cuts. Food quality is decent and service is quick to make things right. Manager does come around and check on tables to keep quality and customers happy :-)

    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."

    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!

    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.

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

In fact, just a few months ago, the service was excellent. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different, which makes me wonder if there has been a management change because the experience was night and day. What upset me the most was that my husband and I came out for a date night and were hoping for a pleasant, more private dining experience. The hostess seated us at the very front of the restaurant, directly next to the salad bar, which is easily the busiest and most crowded area. I politely asked if we could wait for a quieter table, but was met with a blunt "No" and no effort whatsoever to accommodate our request. We decided to stay, but the experience only got worse. The servers carrying the meat trays seemed rushed and careless, repeatedly dropping the trays down hard at the tables. At one point, food was shaken off the tray and ended up on my dress. Not only was this frustrating, but it also showed a lack of attention and professionalism. What was most surprising was that none of the friendly servers we had come to know over the years were there anymore. The entire atmosphere felt different, and the level of customer service was nowhere near what we had experienced in the past. It is sad to say this because this used to be one of my all-time favorite restaurants, but after such a disappointing experience, I do not think I will be returning. When loyal customers leave feeling ignored, uncomfortable, and frustrated, something has clearly changed, and unfortunately, not for the better.

The service was quick and attentive, and although the place was busy we didn't have to wait on a Friday night. We were fairly unfamiliar with the menu options but came with a big appetite, our waiter recommended the empanadas for an appetizer and they were great! Perfectly fried and super crispy, and you could tell the oil they were using was clean which is always a great sign for the rest of the experience for me. The decorations were SUPER cool. They went over the top for the holidays. Even if it's almost February... Both my lady and I ordered margaritas, and they were the best we've had since we moved down. They were STRONG, but not overly so. 1 was enough, 2nd was for fun. As we were leaving the table next to us ordered a pour of tequila and they did it tableside. I had the Colombian flank steak plate. While I can say I came with a big appetite and I can eat, this was about the first time I can say I left a restaurant still hungry. I knew what I was getting into since the menu did state the size of the steak, and I guess it's not a huge minus I left wanting more! The margaritas probably played a part too. The plate was phenomenal. I ordered the steak medium rare, but it was a little on the rare side which I don't mind at all. Everything molded perfectly and no flavor overpowered the other. One of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. The only thing holding back this place from a 5 is the portions and prices. $4 for two shrimp seemed insane, and adding options to the margaritas makes each one almost $16. It certainly doesn't deserve the low 3 star rating on this app. Can't wait to come back!
