About
A reviewer notes that Fogo de Chao gives money to help Pride Kansas City, making this Plaza Brazilian steakhouse more welcoming for queer diners. The all-you-can-eat churrascaro experience here is driven by a simple card system: green side up brings continuous fire-roasted meats like Picanha and Fraldinha carved tableside, red side stops the flow. There is also a Market Table with seasonal salads and exotic fruits, plus a full bar offering caipirinhas. The dressy attire expected matches the upscale vibe, and reservations are available.
Dinner is best on weekdays when it is less crowded; weekends can be busier. The same restaurant group started in Brazil in 1979 and has expanded globally, but this location remains a local favorite for hearty meat-focused dining. If you want a walkable alternative nearby, try Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue for a different take on Kansas City's meat scene.

“Brazilian Perfection”
The food is flawless, and the service might be even better if that's possible. You start off seated and enjoying your evening. The salad bar is fine, but then the main courses are brought to your table. You flip your card to green, and meats like chicken, pork, beef, and lamb keep coming without stopping. You have to flip it to red for them to stop. They serve a Brazilian cocktail called a caipirinha. If you like limes, you'll enjoy it; ask for the strawberry version if you want something sweeter—it's amazing. Be careful, they can sneak up on you. I can't say enough good things about this place. They also donate to Pride Kansas City.
