Fogo de Chao, Brazilian steakhouse in West Plaza, Kansas City, United States.
Fogo de Chao is a Brazilian steakhouse in West Plaza that serves grilled meat in various cuts from the fire. Trained chefs carve the meat tableside, bringing each piece directly from the skewers to your plate.
The restaurant was founded in 1979 in Porto Alegre and later expanded to the United States to share Brazilian grilling traditions. This growth brought the traditional churrasco concept to new audiences beyond its birthplace.
The restaurant honors Brazilian traditions by cooking meat on skewers over open flames and carving it at your table. This style of cooking shapes the whole dining experience and reflects how important shared meals are in Brazilian culture.
The restaurant opens at 11:15 AM and closes at 8:45 PM Sunday through Thursday, with extended evening hours until 9:45 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Plan to spend time enjoying the full experience of tableside carving and meat service.
Diners control the pace of service using a two-sided disc placed on the table: green means bring meat, red means pause for a moment. This simple system lets everyone enjoy their meal at their own speed.
