Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão could open a new location in Sugar Land Town Square.
The details
The restaurant company filed the Sugar Land project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Dec. 2. Filing information shows construction is estimated to begin in January and wrap up in August 2025.
Fogo de Chão will replace the space formerly occupied by the Department of Wonder, which closed last December. Renovations to the space are estimated to cost $1.8 million, according to the TDLR filing.
On the menu
The restaurant will serve various seafood and meats grilled in Southern Brazil’s traditional churrasco style, which involves cooking skewered meat over an open flame, according to the business website. Other menu items include small plates and a seasonal market table featuring fresh salads, cheeses, meats and antipasto.
Zooming out
The steakhouse was founded in Southern Brazil in 1979 and has more than 70 locations across the globe, according to its website.
Fogo de Chão’s Sugar Land location would join other Houston-area locations in The Woodlands, Friendswood and Houston off Westheimer Road, according to the business website.
Additionally, the brand will open its fourth location in Cypress on Dec. 9, and it’s coming to Katy in the first half of 2025, a representative with Fogo de Chão said.
