Fogo de Chão Opens Fifth Chicago-Area Restaurant

Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão has expanded its presence in the Chicago area with the opening of its fifth location in Schaumburg.

The new restaurant offers the brand’s signature churrasco-style dining experience, featuring continuous tableside service of fire-roasted meats, a market table, and a wine list. The 8,500-square-foot restaurant is located at 1950 E. Gold Road, across from Woodfield Mall, one of the largest shopping destinations in the United States.

Fogo de Chão has 81 U.S. locations, including Chicago-area restaurants in Rosemont, River North, Naperville and Oak Brook. The chain also plans to open a sixth local restaurant this summer in Orland Park. The expansion reflects Fogo de Chão’s strategic growth in key suburban markets, with the Schaumburg opening following recent launches in other major U.S. cities.
