Description: Fogo de ChaoR (fo-go dee shoun), is an authentic Southern Brazilian steakhouse. In 1979, FogoR began sharing the gaucho way of preparing meat in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Today, our gaucho chefs still expertly grill each of our 16 cuts of meat and offer you continuous tableside service. We invite you to enjoy the delicious preparations of our gaucho chefs along with our gourmet salad bar, authentic Brazilian side dishes, and award-winning wine list.

What an amazing dining experience, fantastic salad bar and continuous grilled beef cuts, Lamb, Chicken and Pork. Turn your disc over to red when you've had enough.

I admit it - i love churrascerias in Brazil. SO I had my hope up that this genuine chain from Brazil would serve this up also in Chicago. Alas they dont. The place is lively and service very firendly and helpful, but the salad bar is just that: Salad - in brazil it is also full of sushi, sashimi and... More

I ate here with a couple of friends, food is very good, plentiful and tasty, and unlimited as well. Waiter serve unlimited meat, a lor of different kind, and it is possible choose a cooking. They are very dedicated to the customer and him/her needs. But price is high, for my italian standard, i paid 70 dollar without tip.

Had always wanted to try this with my kids. Food was great. Salad bar was amazing. Bit expensive if you are not a big eater. Kids liked trying the different meats. Unfortunately you don't want to eat too much from the salad bar, as you need to leave room for the meat. The experience is fun.

This is my 5th trip to this restaurant! It's a great place to visit when in Chicago. Make sure you're very hungry, as it's pricey, but you can eat as much as you like! If you're not up to the full meal, try just the buffet(what I did this time), it was superb with ample selection. I am always impressed... More

Loved it, never eaten so much meat! Waiters are all friendly and kept ensuring I had what I wanted without pestering you, the house special beef was my fave. Would really recommend.

We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Paul the manager, always comes by all the tables to make sure everyone is happy, and if there's a certain type of meat that hasn't come by, he will make sure they send it out immediately. My kids LOVE the filet and the lamb chops. My favorite is the... More

Salad bar is excellent and the meat selection is very good. I didn't happen to love all the meat I tried but that's just me. Very fast paced environment inside, great place to go with friends or another couple. Wouldn't be my first choice for a romantic dinner for two as it gets a little noisy. Drinks are tasty but...

A meat extravaganza. Various meats are brought to you via gouchos who are very polite. The rum drinks with cane sugar are very good, but expensive and small. While I had a good time, I've been to Texas due Brazil which I thought had a better if not larger selection of meat. The salad bar here is also slightly less... More
