The King of Prussia Town Center has become a premier dining destination, and at the heart of its culinary offerings is Fogo de Chão, the internationally renowned Brazilian steakhouse. This expansive and lively restaurant brings the authentic Southern Brazilian tradition of churrasco to the Philadelphia suburbs, offering a unique, interactive, and meat-centric dining experience that is perfect for special occasions, family gatherings, or an indulgent night out.
The Churrasco Experience: A Continuous Tableside Feast
The core of the Fogo de Chão experience is its all-you-can-eat churrasco, a centuries-old culinary art of roasting high-quality cuts of meat over an open flame.
- Gaucho Chefs: The meal is an interactive event. Roving "gaucho" chefs, dressed in traditional attire, circulate through the dining room carrying large skewers of sizzling, fire-roasted meats.
- Signal Your Cravings: Each guest controls the pace of the meal with a two-sided medallion. When the green side is up, the gauchos will continuously stop at your table to offer and carve slices of whatever cut they are carrying. When you need a break or are finished, you simply flip the medallion to the red side.
- Signature Cuts: The selection is vast, but must-try items include the Picanha (the prime part of the top sirloin and a house specialty), Filet Mignon, Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), and Cordeiro (lamb).
Beyond the Meat: The Gourmet Market Table
Included with the full churrasco experience is unlimited access to the impressive Gourmet Market Table. This is far more than a simple salad bar. It's a lavish spread featuring:
- Seasonal salads and fresh vegetables
- Exotic fruits
- Imported cheeses and cured meats like prosciutto
- Smoked salmon
- Traditional Brazilian side dishes, including the hearty black bean stew known as feijoada.
The Vibe and Other Offerings
Located at 155 Main Street in the King of Prussia Town Center, the restaurant boasts a modern, elegant, and panoramic dining room with an open kitchen that showcases the churrasco grilling process.
- Bar Fogo: For a more casual experience, the Bar Fogo offers a separate menu of Brazilian-inspired cocktails, small plates, and a popular $10 Picanha Burger. It's a great spot for happy hour.
- Al Fresco Dining: An expansive patio allows guests to enjoy the full Fogo experience outdoors during warmer months.
- Brunch and More: Fogo de Chão also offers a popular weekend brunch, full-service catering, and a "Butcher Shop" option for purchasing ready-to-grill cuts of their famous meats to take home.
Fogo de Chão in King of Prussia offers a vibrant and delicious journey through the culinary traditions of Southern Brazil. The combination of its interactive, all-you-can-eat meat service, a gourmet Market Table, and a sophisticated atmosphere makes it a standout destination in the suburban Philadelphia dining scene. It's an unforgettable experience for any meat lover and a perfect spot for a celebration.
