Katy, Texas – Fogo de Chão, a renowned Brazilian steakhouse chain, has recently expanded its footprint in the greater Houston area with the opening of a new location in Katy. The restaurant officially opened its doors on Monday, April 28, 2025, and is situated at 222 West Grand Parkway South.
The new Katy location showcases Fogo de Chão’s signature 360-degree kitchen, which allows diners to observe gaucho chefs as they expertly grill a variety of meats over an open flame. This visual dining experience is sure to appeal to both new and returning customers, as the restaurant maintains its celebrated concept of flame-cooked grilled meats, seasoned with rock salt and served conveniently on sword-like skewers.
In addition to the unique cooking experience, the Katy Fogo de Chão features a well-stocked salad bar, a staple in all of the chain’s restaurants. Diners can choose between an all-you-can-eat service priced at $48 per person for lunch and $63 for dinner. For those looking for a more economical option, customers can opt for a single cut from the extensive menu, which includes the popular $10 picanha burger along with salad bar access.
To further enhance the dining experience, the restaurant introduces an all-day happy hour featuring cocktails at $10, wines at $8, and beers at $5. There will also be a special “Next Level Lounge” that promises an elevated atmosphere, catering to patrons with a premium selection of whiskey and bourbon.
This new Katy establishment marks the fifth Fogo de Chão location within the greater Houston area, showing that the chain is making substantial moves in the region. The opening follows the launch of another location in Cypress-Fairbanks, Texas, in December 2024, which is part of a broader expansion strategy for the brand in Houston. According to reports, the new restaurant in Katy represents a capital investment of $1.2 million into the local community.
Covering over 8,600 square feet, the Katy location includes substantial renovations with significant upgrades to the structural, plumbing, and electrical systems, along with modernized finishes throughout the restaurant. The remodel project commenced in September 2024 and was expected to be completed by December 2024.
Fogo de Chão has established a strong connection with the Houston community over the past 25 years, with its leadership expressing excitement regarding this latest venture into Katy. With over 70 locations worldwide, Fogo de Chão is celebrated for its unique churrasco dining experience, which emphasizes a blend of traditional Brazilian cooking and contemporary dining standards.
This expansion is aimed at enhancing the dining options available in Katy and further solidifying Fogo de Chão’s commitment to providing high-quality culinary experiences.
