Left Stuffed After Chicago’s Brazilian Steakhouse Feast 🤤

Tried a Brazilian churrascaria (steakhouse) buffet about 3–4 years ago, and revisiting it now—the flavors are still just as good, though the prices have definitely gone up, and some seasonal items might be missing. Today’s menu 🥩🥗🧀 📌 Meat – Must-tries: lamb, lamb chops, chicken – super tender, juicy, and charred to perfection! Beef can be a bit tougher, but you can request your preferred doneness. 📌 Sides – Potato salad is a must! Really delicious. The papaya was sweet too—great for balancing out the meat. (Sadly, the salmon salad from before is gone 🥲) 📌 Shrimp – Huge and fresh, with sweet, juicy meat—each one’s as long as a finger! (Note: extra charge applies.) 📌 Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) – Fried cheese bread? Always a win! Not too cheesy, slightly sweet-salty—cheese lovers, don’t miss it. 📌 Mashed Potatoes – Savory and smooth, melts in your mouth. Huge portion too! Perfect with meat. 📌 Drinks – We ordered beer and cocktails, and they even brought us mini margaritas—tangy and sweet, definitely try it! 📌 Dessert – Ice cream and chocolate cake—a refreshing finish after all that meat. The ice cream is rich and creamy! Important Info 🖋️ 📍 Restaurant: Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse 📍 Address: 661 N La Salle Dr, Chicago, IL 60654 📍 Price per person: $100–120 (more if you drink) The meat keeps coming as long as you don’t flip your card to “stop.” After about 5 rounds of different meats, you’ll feel pretty full. When they ask for your preferred temperature, go for medium-rare—tender and easier to chew. ⚠️ Note: Drinks, shrimp, etc., served by staff are NOT included in the buffet price—they’ll add to the bill!
