The prices have gone up to $32.50 for lunch (which includes the amazing salad bar), but this is STILL my absolute favorite restaurant, hands down! Many places raise their prices and drop their quality or serving size, not Fogo.\r

I brought my whole family when they were in from out of town, business partners, gone on dates here; it's very relaxing, comforting and the food is out of this world. Even the little Yorksire Puddings and side dishes that come with the meal are perfect! Ah- the garlic potatoes- okay, gotta relax before I have to go back tonight...!\r

If you want to really treat yourself or show off, this is the place to do it. If you're the type to be impressed by a $50. steak from Gibson's, you either don't know about this place or don't spend your dough wisely.\r

The service is marvelous, to boot. Even if you have a question about an unidentifiable ""something"" on the salad bar, ask. In my case, I was curious about the Palm Hearts. Not only was I told what they were by the manager, he brought me a print out of all the health benefits, caloric content, etc.! How can you beat that?\r

Granted, I haven't tried another restaurant like this one; why bother? I know I'm going to love it every time. Until that changes, I ADORE Fogo De Chao!\r

EAT AT FOGO!
Pros: $33-53 for all you can eat Fillet Mignon, lamb, etc. IMMEDIATELY! Great ambiance & service, haven't seen ill-behaved kids there
Cons: Parking, but Public Transportation is easily accessible via rtaChicago site. Not for kids who are not attended to when adults w/hot meat on giant skewers are delivering quickly.
