Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, Brazilian steakhouse in Dunwoody, United States
Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian steakhouse in Dunwoody that specializes in fire-roasted meats brought directly to diners' tables by trained gauchos. The restaurant features multiple dining spaces where traditional grilling and carving techniques are combined with skilled service.
The concept originated in southern Brazil in 1979 and later expanded to locations throughout the United States. This growth brought churrasco grilling traditions rooted in gaucho culture to new markets beyond South America.
The dining experience centers on a Brazilian gaucho service style where meat carvers continuously circulate through the room presenting different cuts to guests. This approach creates a lively, interactive meal that differs from traditional restaurant service.
The restaurant is open daily and offers both valet and self-parking options for visitors. Reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups, to avoid extended wait times.
Guests control the pace of service using a two-sided disc at their table. The green side signals the meat carvers to continue serving, while red indicates the diner wants a break to eat and rest.
