Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, Brazilian steakhouse in Naperville, United States
Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian steakhouse in Naperville where skilled gaucho chefs grill and serve various meat cuts directly at your table. It also features a large salad bar with fresh vegetables, artisan cheeses, and other sides.
The restaurant chain started in 1979 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, based on traditional churrasco grilling. From there it grew to multiple locations across different countries, including this Naperville establishment.
The restaurant brings Brazilian eating customs to life through the gaucho service method, where different grilled meats are continuously presented at each table throughout the meal. This style of dining has deep roots in Brazilian tradition and creates a special shared experience for everyone eating here.
The restaurant takes reservations for small and large groups and stays open until late evening on most days. It's smart to book ahead, especially if you're coming with a larger group or planning to dine on a weekend.
Guests control the meal with a two-sided wooden disc: green means the gauchos bring more meat, red signals a pause. This simple system lets everyone manage their own pace and how much they eat.
