What makes Fogo de Chão Jax different as a Brazilian steakhouse?
If you see dining as more than just a meal—where service, ambiance, and the little details matter as much as the food—this review is for you.
Fogo is different from other steakhouses. It’s a world of its own, where every element feels intentional. Its unique concept isn’t just part of the experience—it defines it.
What I Love Most About Fogo de Chão in Jacksonville, Fl.
A Warm & Welcoming Atmosphere – Even with the energy of a busy restaurant, you never feel rushed. The service is attentive, yet relaxed, making you feel truly at home.
A Stunning Ambiance – There’s an exclusive area with a breathtaking wine wall, another where you can watch chefs in action at the open-fire grills, and a stylish, modern bar—perfect for pre-dinner drinks.
The Famous Market Table – More than just a salad bar, this spread features fresh, gluten-free ingredients, including specialty salads, seasonal sides, cured meats, soups, aged cheeses, and more.
Exclusive Bar-Only Dishes – If you sit at the bar, you can try hidden gems that aren’t on the main menu, like the filet mignon board with chimichurri or the picanha burger with smoked provolone—both must-tries!
Pro Tips:
Weekend Special Menu (11 AM - 2 PM) – Featuring Belgian waffles and omelets that kids (and adults!) absolutely love.
Following 5 PM, weekends tend to be busy. I suggest making a reservation in advance—it’s super easy via phone or the OpenTable app.
Options for Every Diet – Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, keto, or paleo, you’ll find plenty of delicious choices. My top pick? The cauliflower steak with a parmesan crust and basil sauce.
Complimentary Parking – Free valet and self-parking. Naturally, you can always leave a tip for the valet.
Final Thoughts
