    5 stars for Fogo de Chão! This is a very nice Brazilian Steakhouse - all you can eat style! The service was excellent as was the food. The workers bring meats to your table and you decide if you want that cut of meat or if you're going to wait til the next cuts come out. The filet and bacon wrapped sirloin were my favorite cuts of the steak they brought out. They also have a huge salad bar that is also included - all you can eat! The hot peppers were very good at the salad bar too - spicy! I highly recommend this restaurant if you want an all you can eat experience that is also a very nice restaurant.

    Queijo Assado, fire-grilled cheese served with hot honey

    Always wanted to try this place and finally got the chance and I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed. The buffet was smaller than I expected. Fruits, cheese, deli meats but nothing special. No seafood expect for some smoked salmon. They had soup but it's lentil no lobster bisque like Texas de Brazil. The meats were fine, flavorful but they lacked a 'wow factor' to set them apart from other Churrascaria in the area. The one thing that did stand out was the Queijo Assado. It's this cheese that they fire-grilled until the outside is golden-brown and crispy while the inside stays soft and warm. And they serve it with hot honey and it's just cheesey heaven! They also have the famous pink pineapple but they ran out didn't bring out more.

    Really beautiful restaurant that's close to Woodfield Mall. The interior makes you feel like you're dining at a fancy steakhouse and the restrooms were clean as well. My family came here for brunch on a Saturday and loved the cold bar selections. There was yogurt parfait, papaya, berries, prosciutto, Parmesan, salad, Asian noodles, and lentil soup. In terms of the meat, the picanha stood out to me. The meat was well seasoned and the fat was rich with flavor. I do think all the meat was on the drier side compared to Texas de Brazil. When I asked for medium, I got more like well done. If you want chimichurri sauce you have to ask for it separately. The lunch price was a little cheaper than the dinner price which was nice. And the owner said my dad's dessert was on the house for his birthday. Their dessert options included crème brûlée, cheesecake, and papaya cream.

    Extremely Huge Salad selections

    Saturday 4:00 pm reservations which is a must! Service is totally outstanding! Huge Mind boggling salad bar. All meats served extremely well seasoned and cooked! You can eat as fast as they serve you. Outstanding drink menus. A must go if you are around there. They had to roll us out after dinner (with smiles on our faces)

Service was very fast and amazing. People were costantly checking on us, serving us, and more. It was over all one of the best means of my life.

    Immense gratitude to our IL relatives for recommending this newer location. They mentioned. "This is the happening place in Schamburg!" Highly recommend making a reservation. This is the fourth Brazilian Steakhouse that I've dined in and a favorite for these reasons: Plethora of free parking. No time limit for dine in. You're welcome to dress to impress or arrive semi casual and will be treated equally. Access to salad bar at any time. You're welcome to choose different options for Churrasco experience or other choices from the menu. The guys chose Full Churrasco while the ladies selected Indulgent Churrasco. I went with Indulgent Churrasco because my mind and tummy was set on devouring the Butter Bathed Lobster Tail. Steamed to perfection, easy to peel and satisfying. This option included dessert. One of the dessert choices available was Cheesecake Brûlée with Fresh Strawberries and Raspberry which tasted fabulous! Our Servers provided top quality customer service from beverage to protein recommendations, refills in water. Continue to face up green circle when you're ready to eat or red circle if you'd like to rest or are done. My faves were the lamb and rib eye which tasted very succulent and flavorful. Garlic Mashed Potatoes are to die for and complemented all of the seafood and meats. We enjoyed catching up in conversations and our meals for about 3.5 hours. We didn't feel rushed at all. Music can be heard through the entire restaurant. We loved the whole covered roof, outdoor dining experience. Worth the money and time. Highly recommend for all to visit.

    Market Table

    Our server, Alexander, was excellent. He was busy waiting many tables but was super attentive and spoke kindly. The entire staff was inviting and welcoming the moment we stepped through the door. We visited during dinner hours and had a positive experience dining and celebrating my birthday there. The food selection was good. The meat was tender and flavorful. My favorites were the beef rib and picanha. They were fatty but in the best way where it brought such robust flavor to the meat. The Market Table buffet had fresh greens, mixed salads, all sorts of salads and fruits. I particularly liked the candied bacon. It was the best combination of sweet and salty. We tried the authentic Brazilian Guarana soda which reminded me of ginger ale type drink but not spicy. It was nice and bubbly, not very sweet, and was good cold. Another favorite of the night was the queijo assado with honey and the cheese bread. The queijo was salty but with the honey drizzled over it gave it such a nice sweet complement to the savory taste of the cheese. This location recently opened and everything was crisp and new. The tables were sturdy with well pressed linens. The staff uniforms expressed the traditional "gaucho" style-- Brazillian herdsmen/cowboys skilled in grilling meats, the churrasco experience. From the uniforms to the variety of grilled meats, it felt like an authentic Brazillian tradition. At the time we were dining, It was unfortunate that there was a large party of 20 in our seating area so we waited substantial amounts of time inbetween being served the variety of meats because the table of twenty would be served entire skewers or plates of the queijo assado. We waited several minutes that the staff would come by three times to assure us more was being prepared and coming. Our server tried his best to send specific meats to our table-- but it just took a really long time. Overall, I had a positive experience. It was a nice fancy dinner to celebrate my birthday.

    My review is based solely off the bar experience at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse in Schaumburg, IL. If you are debating whether to sit at the bar or get a table, I highly recommend the bar for its bar menu and exceptional staff. I loved the lively energy of the bar crowd that night. I was in the area for a layover and went over enjoying the burger with polenta fries. It was out of this world. The staff at the bar are also very attentive. I was always asked if there was anything I needed on a busy Saturday night. They also offer the regular menu at the bar, but being alone and not really hungry like I usually am, the bar food was the highlight of my evening. I appreciated how they made me feel like a regular visitor even on my first visit.

    Here are the meats that were dry and chewy;  I couldnt eat it so i set it aside.  this was before calling the mgr over.
    Casey Ryback R.

    Unfortunately, I was right. The eagerness and quality has disappeared since their opening just 3 months ago. It was a complete 180 degree experience from just a few short months ago. Here's what happened: Our reservation was at 11am on a Wednesday. We were greeted promptly and provided a table that we requested. After that.... Bread was brought out, but no plates? The salad bar wasnt ready and the meats were still being prepared. took about 15 mins to get the salad bar opened and the meats were served until 11:40. Potatoes/ plantains were served late as well. The opening act was the top sirloin (dry and grey) followed by the sausage (very dry and tough; no moisture at all) and finally the third offer was the beef wrapped in bacon and you guessed it, dry , grey , tough to chew. We decided to ask for the manager to provide feedback. He was able to correct the subsequent entrees that came out like the ribeye, pork chop, top sirloin, and picanha. He mentioned that he inspected the original batch and confirmed that it was dry and should not have gone out to customers. He also mentioned that he and someone else gave the meats a squeeze as well and confirmed dryness and had them throw out the bad batch. I took pics and i will share shortly. The only other explanation i can think of is that the food that they served us at 11:40 were leftovers from the previous night. The food that was quality checked by the manager and served to us the second time was night and day different. Alas, I had high hopes for fogo, but because of lack of quality controls and very avg service at best along with delays. We will not be returning and am updating my review. Not recommended.

A server named Anny (or something close to that) was incredibly rude, dismissive, and openly condescending from the start. We asked a simple question about what drinks were included, and instead of answering like a normal server, she responded with "Drinks are drinks." That kind of attitude is unacceptable in any customer-facing job. It was lazy, disrespectful, and unnecessarily insulting. Only after I directly called out her response did she finally explain the drink options, and even then she did it with obvious irritation, like we were bothering her by asking a basic question. It got even worse when I went to the front desk to complain. Rather than apologizing or trying to fix the situation, she immediately became defensive and claimed, "I told you, you just didn't hear me." That was simply false. She did not properly explain anything until after I challenged her rude behavior. Then, instead of letting the issue go, she came back to our table looking angry and resentful, and gave us a completely insincere explanation. The worst part was her final comment: "You can say whatever you want. You already said it anyway." Then she walked away impatiently. That response alone tells you everything you need to know about her professionalism. This was not a misunderstanding. This was not "bad communication." This was a server with a nasty attitude who clearly does not know how to treat paying customers with basic respect. I've had normal service here before from other staff, so this stood out even more. One employee like this is enough to ruin the entire experience and make customers not want to come back. Management should take this seriously. Staff like this do real damage to a business.

Has a nice bar area, and then you have your dining area which is kind of out of view of the bar area. The dining area is big. They have your standard tables, and booths. Looks warm and cozy. They have now a special menu, which has a nicely fixed priced, less than $30.00. It's called the Just Right Menu," a special 3-course meal (appetizer, entrée, dessert). You get a choice of either a soup, mixed greens, or caeser salad. Entree has a nice selection to pick from, ex..grilled chicken, grilled pork chops, beef medallions., and more. Desert is ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. So I ordered the caeser salad. It was nice portion with a nice amount of cheese and croutons. Perfect amount of dressing. It was really good. For my entree I ordered the medallions which was Two 3oz. Each medallions, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. I was impressed. The beef medallions were outstanding. They were perfectly cooked (medium) tender, juicy, and had a great flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and had the right amount of garlic flavor. It was great. Loved it. The desert was a nice portioned size scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream, peanuts, and chocolate syrup. It was a great simple desert. The portion sizes from the special menu were perfect for me. However, I'm not sure if it would be enough for others with bigger appetites. The food overall was delicious. I highly recommend to give it a try. The waiter was really nice and had a friendly attitude. Overall an excellent experience.
