Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse Coming Soon To Orland Park

ORLAND PARK, IL — Orland Park is getting another Brazilian steakhouse, with the arrival of Fogo de Chão set for 2025.

Fogo de Chão, the internationally renowned restaurant from Brazil known for its elevated churrasco experience, announced last week the signing of a lease agreement for its fifth Chicagoland location in Orland Park.

The new 6,791 square-foot restaurant is scheduled to open at 15407 South La Grange Rd. in Orland Park Place, a bustling retail center with premier dining options and shops. It moves into the space previously occupied by TGIFriday's.

The upcoming Orland Park restaurant will join existing Chicagoland locations in Rosemont, Naperville, Oak Brook, Downtown Chicago and an upcoming location in Schaumburg.

"Orland Park's dynamic community and vibrant midwestern culture make it an ideal location for our next Chicagoland location," said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão.

"After being a part of the local community for over 22 years, we’re excited to open our 5th and 6th Chicago area locations and look forward to introducing guests to the Culinary Art of Churrasco in both Orland Park and Schaumburg soon."

Designed in partnership with global architecture and design agency Harrison, the Orland Park restaurant will feature an expansive dining room centered around an open churrasco grill, offering guests a 360-degree view of gaucho chefs butchering, hand carving, and grilling high-quality cuts of protein over an open flame, creating a craveable salty bark, the company said in a release. The Market Table will anchor the restaurant and feature seasonal salads, fresh superfoods, cured meats, antipasti, and more.

In the new restaurant, engaging social gathering spaces will be layered throughout Bar Fogo and the dining room, "to further enhance the guest experience and ambiance by providing inviting, conversational areas to linger and enjoy Bar Fogo Features."

Dry-aged meat lockers for in-house aging will display indulgent cuts such as a 32-oz. Long-Bone Tomahawk Ribeye, aged for a minimum of 42 days for rich flavor.

Fogo de Chão is the second Brazilian steakhouse to open in Orland Park in recent years. Texas de Brazil opened in 2019, inside Orland Square Mall.
