Fogo de Chao is known for its continuous meat service
If you've never been to Fogo de Chao, it's a very cool experience. The restaurant is known for its prix fixe, Full Churrasco Experience, meaning the freshly grilled meat is served continuously and will be freshly carved right at your table.

On your table will be round discs that look like coasters. One side will be red, and the other side will be green. The green side signals the servers to keep bringing different meats to your table. When you're full, turn it over to red, and that will alert the servers to pass you by. You may want a breather, so turn it over to red. When you're ready to eat again, turn it back to green. It's fun.

The Market Table has a big selection of seasonal salads, charcuterie, exotic fruit, superfoods, and more. Check it out below.

The Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chao, Barry McGowan, is excited about the restaurant chain's expansion to Freehold. "We’re thrilled to continue our growth in New Jersey with the opening of our newest restaurant at Freehold Raceway Mall.
