Salad Bar
David P.

Nut allergy friendly: No issues here, possibly take some care with the desserts but I had no issues with the Flan. Parking: Valet only. We had a reservation for 3 at 6:45 PM and were seated promptly with no issues. Chama has a reputation for being the best Brazilian steakhouse in Houston, and I have always considered it as such. The service is phenomenal and consistent, unlike other AYCE churrascarias that do a big wave of meat up front and then ignore your table. However, Chama has changed significantly since the last time I was here a few years ago. Most noticeably, the price has gone up significantly. I don't blame them with the beef price increase in the US but it is a hefty tag. Secondly, several dishes are basically upon-request. The lobster bisque, for example, is no longer self-service. Additionally, sausage and some meats come very rarely and should be asked for so they can be prepared. Salad bar: I'd say relatively standard, I usually load up on the salmon, a piece of pork belly, and some asparagus and cheeses to reset meat flavors. Overall, for the popular cuts, I tried to get a bit of each. My general ratings are as follows, but I would emphasize that relative to other spots they are great cuts in general. New York Strip (3/5): Incredibly buttery almost to the point of oily. Rack of lamb (4.5/5): Deliciously gamey, very tender Picanha (5/5): The house special and well deserved; extremely tender and flavorful. Bottom sirloin (3.5/5): Slightly less heavy than the NY Strip but overall wouldn't take too much over the better cuts. Ribeye (4.5/5): Right behind the picanha in terms of tender meats. Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon (2.5-4.5/5): I had one piece that was actually pretty tough, and another that was perfect. Don't let it sit too long I guess. Upon request (did not come around in the first ~hour): Shrimp (4/5): Quite salty, but really good mix in flavors Costela (Beef rib) (5/5): Fatty, delicious flavors, really tender. Don't let it get cold. Sausage (2/5): Too fatty for me but it was enjoyed by others I was with. Other things that came around rarely - polenta, the fried cheese they can put honey on, and some other sides. But, everything will come if you ask. Lastly, their flan is very rich and sharable and we got it to-go after getting stuffed (for a birthday). Shoutout to our fantastic waitress Romy for being attentive to allergies and getting us the cuts we really wanted. Chama is definitely still a fantastic spot to celebrate something or really indulge. I've got to be careful with cholesterol and reset afterwards though.

GENERALIZED REVIEW: I came here for my birthday and wanted to focus on enjoying the experience rather than reviewing every little detail. First off, shoutout to Romy for making the evening so pleasant, especially since it was only her first few days on the job. She was exceptionally responsive, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. The salad bar was an excellent start to dinner, though I admittedly overestimated how much I could eat while running on only five hours of sleep. Before we knew it, we were being bombarded with a steady stream of different cuts of meat. My favorites were easily the lamb and the picanha. They also had beef rib that day, so we all had to try a piece. It was a beautiful cut and deliciously moist, but nothing topped the lamb for me. I'd recommend skipping the bottom sirloin--it just wasn't worth it at a place like this and felt noticeably weaker than the other cuts. I was also pretty disappointed with the filet mignon wrapped in bacon, which didn't live up to my expectations. Outside of the meats, the lobster bisque was a standout, and I can never go wrong with the Brazilian lemonade. Overall, this wasn't my best experience at Chama, but I think that had more to do with my own circumstances than the restaurant itself. We were squeezing dinner in after an exceptionally long and exhausting week, so I wasn't exactly bringing my best appetite or energy. When I mentioned it was my birthday, Romy immediately accommodated us without even asking to check my ID, which I really appreciated. I'm grateful I got to celebrate my birthday here. That said, I didn't realize the price had increased to $70 per person. At that price point, I personally think other AYCE restaurants offer better value. Even so, the service was excellent, and I'm thankful the staff helped make my birthday an enjoyable one.

12.20.25 First let me say we have never been here before. We came here with some friends for dinner. The parking is a bit challenging. The whole parking lot is valet for tips. We did not know this, but now we do. The restaurant is quite large and they have large party tables in the back. (There was 17 of us) The waitstaff were incredible! Even with a large party it was great! Our drinks never went empty. We had wine, tea, cocktails, and Brazilian lemonade, which was fantastic!! So smooth and refreshing! The vegetable/salad bar had so many wonderful foods to choose from. Everything we got was top notch! The asparagus, salmon, small grilled potatoes, green beans were unbelievable. Everything was full of flavor and not overcooked. Ok now let's talk about the meat! Shrimp, sirloin and prime rib are what I choose. I passed on the chicken wings even though they looked yummy and some other meats. All the meats were cooked just the way I liked it. Everything was great. We had dessert as well, I had banana foster. It was good but not great. I think I would try a different one next time. All in all we had the BEST time here. We will definitely be returning here!!!! This is a MUST try place! (I forgot to take photos of our dinner-next time)

What an amazing experience! I haven't been to a Brazilian Steakhouse since I've been in Texas. Today was the day! Beautiful decor and ambiance. Great upscale feel, but also can be casual dress I believe is preferred. But! I did see people with shorts and rompers on as well. So it's up to the experience wanted. The food was really good. Many...many options on the buffet. Some were really good, and some so-so. It really will be personal preference. But the meat! Lord! Several kinds of steak cuts, along with sausage, lamb, chicken, and shrimp. Other sides that are passed include mashed potatoes, bananas, and cheese puffs. Before moving to the buffet, I enjoy a cup of lobster bisque soup. Delicious! Once we're were full, I asked for the pineapples. Here they are available but are a'la 'carte. They were so good and juicy! The touch of cinnamon just set it off. After this, we shared Tres' Leche' cake for dessert. Delicious and rich!!! If you're lactose...don't do it! Note: The pineapple was sweet enough for dessert, and it helps digest the meat. Maybe not a weekly experience at $70 per person, but I can experience it quarterly maybe. Definitely a repeat spot.

A m a z i n g! As someone who has gone to Brazil for an extended stay I can say Chama Gaúcha is a real experience and representation of Brazil! While taking a break from My no meat lifestyle I decided to give it try on My birthday and it did not disappoint. Let's start with My favorite part of the restaurant! - the salad bar which has so many hot and cold options to choose from. My go to is the roasted potatoes, avocado dish and shrimp cocktail. There is soups , salad varieties, and so much more. Next is the actual table experience. Anyone like playing red light / green light?! Given a card to leave on the table when ready for endless steak, shrimp, chicken, lamb You flip over to green. When You'd like to take a pause flip the card over red. Theres also waiters frequently stopping by to ensure You have all the sides necessary to accompany the meat varieties. From delicious white rice, mashed potatoes, plantain, and cheese bread better known as Pão de queijo The drinks are also worthy of mentioning. I've tried the native drink which is called Caipirinha made of rum. It's not My fave but worth trying. I'm sure it's made best on the beach of São Paulo. The margaritas on the other hand are delicious! Passion fruit is good but strawberry is the best imo. The bartenders bring the bar to Your table and will make anything of Your choice! I love that They have aged whiskies available upon request. I went during dinner time which I believe has a different price than the afternoon. If I'm not mistaken there is also the option to only partake in the salad bar. All together for two I believe our bill was about $200 including 3 drinks. As You enter the restaurant there is a bar and patio area separate from the dining area. There's also private rooms attached to the dining areas. It is located on westheimer near the galleria area and there is valet parking.

We went for lunch and made the right choice. Restaurant is very spacious and I found it nicely decorated. The service was really great and although you have a server, everyone is there to assist. We were sitting close to the salad bar and they had really good options, including lobster bisque. We ordered drinks, which were very good. I believe they were Caipirinhas. The meat was excellent. I enjoyed the lamb, steak, chicken, shrimp! It was all Delicious. I definitely recommend. We had zero complaints about our experience. They have a really nice atrium as well, it's next to the bar and we got some good pictures there.

Date night, great food and ambiance. The service was spot on, even though I had some time solo waiting for my date, they handled it well. Every beef skewer was perfect. I also sampled the chicken, lamb and shrimp which were all great! The salad bar is tempting as well. But save room for the main courses. We also did a papaya dessert which was excellent.

Recently went back to Chama Gaucha after not going for 7 years. I have not been to a Brazilian steak house for so long, but I was in the mood for my birthday. Wow. I don't know why I stopped coming. We had the most incredible experience. The restaurant has changed so much, but the food is still amazing. This is still the best Brazilian steak house in Houston in my humble opinion. The service was a 10/10. They were so sweet, quick, and attentive. The managers walking the floor were just amazing. They should be applauded for how great they were. We brought our baby, and she luckily behaved and ate the fresh cheese bread which was delicious. We got a pitcher of the Brazilian lemonade and wow I am dying to already go back. I guess we have not been to a Brazilian steak house in so long due to so many other restaurants opening up in Houston. But I'm glad we went back and tried our original favorite. The ambiance and inside vibe is much better than I remember. It's lit up well, not too dark and not too loud. It was perfect for the occasion. The items we got- - Filet mignon - 9/10 - Garlic steak 10/10 - Picaña steak- 8/10 - Lamb Chop- 10/10 - Top sirloin- 10/10 - Cheese bread- 10/10 - Salad Bar- delicious!!! -Mashed potatoes - served at the table also 10/10 - Complimentary crème brûlée for my birthday 73838/10 We will be returning!

Food was everything!!!! Service was GREAT......if you have a huge appetite this is the place for you and I recommend the "all you can eat" they will keep the meat coming and when I say good and flavorful Ambiance was loud but not over the top. BE PREPARED TO VALET!!!! Which is crazy to me but hey I guess.

Figs!!!! So most people go to Chama Gaucha for the endless cuts of meat. Picanha. Ribeye. Costela. Frango. Lamb chops. Green to keep the meats coming. Red to stop. For me, though, it's about the salads. Cheese, smoked salmon, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, olives. Love the different salads, Brussels sprouts, beets, mushrooms and potatoes. Figs, figs, figs!! Love, love, love the caramelized figs! Fresh figs. Cut in half. Then caramelized. So good. We actually got a few plates, and a bowl, of figs for our extended family graduation celebration. Try not to fill up on the Brazilian cheese bread. Pao de Queijo. Simple and gluten free, these light and airy puffs are made from tapioca flour, milk, cheese, eggs and olive oil. Addictively delicious. And don't forget the lemonade. So refreshing. So good! Chama Gaucha. Meats, salads or figs. Green or red. Go for an amazing taste of Brazil.

I love Brazilian steakhouses, and I always go to them multiple times every year. Out of all the Brazilian steakhouses in the Houston area, Chama Gaucha really is the best one. I have been going to them for special occasions for over a decade, and they have never disappointed me. They have actually gotten even better every visit in every aspect. The interior is clean, modern, and upscale, and the service is always exceptional. I had a reservation for a party of 4 in my most recent visit, and we were promptly seated as soon as we arrived. They have a wide selection of tasty salads, vegetables, cheeses, sides, and other dishes, toppings, and sauces at the buffet area. One of my favorites is the lobster bisque (available at the buffet area) which is rich and flavorful. Their appetizers and side dishes that are served at the table are also amazing. I especially love the Brazilian cheesebreads and the caramelized bananas. I always have to get the Brazilian lemonade pitcher whenever I come to Chama Gaucha; the Brazilian lemonade is flavorful but not too sweet, which is the perfect non-alcoholic drink to accompany all the steaks. Moving onto the best part of Chama Gaucha: the meats. Every cut is super high quality, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and delicious. You really can't go wrong with any cut that you choose. Some of my favorite cuts include the picanha, garlic beef, ribeye, bottom sirloin, and the filet mignon. They also serve other proteins such as lamb, chicken, and shrimps (also one of my favorites). If there is a specific cut or protein you're looking for, that can be requested as well. Because we went to celebrate a birthday for my recent visit, we were also served a complimentary slice of cake of choice. We chose the Tres Leches cake, and it was easily one of the best Tres Leches cakes that I've had so far. The cake was spongy, mildly sweet, and overall just extremely tasty.

Came here to celebrate a special occasion with a party of seven. The service was amazing with servers being attentive to our food needs. The place was accommodating when we asked them to store our own cake. Everything is clean and the meat is cooked to individuals preferences. There's a stand for personal bags and the servers pull open the chair for you. Everyone loved the food and service, could not have chosen a better place to gather. Will be back for special events! Would recommend the shrimp, mashed potatoes, and the cappuccino coffee for desert.

I'm not usually a fan of Brazilian steakhouses but this place is a step above the rest. What stood out to me is the sides! Most steakhouses offer cold sides and salads and things which I HATE. But Chama Gaucha has lobster bisque, Brussels sprouts (which some kind of sauce that was great!) a variety of potatoes, pork belly, and sautéed mushrooms. They were all so good!! As far as meats, I enjoyed some cuts more than others. Most lacked flavor or I'd seemed to receive a more cooked piece rather than the medium rare I desired. But they also have shrimp and chicken! My family enjoyed the shrimp. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was my grandmas birthday and they happily held her cake in the fridge until we finished our meal. They also cut it for us. Their staff was noticeably slow though. There's also a beautiful patio area that is very tropical garden like with tvs and hookah if you like that kind of thing. I really enjoyed it here I'll be back! :)

Chama Gaúcha - Houston Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Chama Gaúcha - Houston

How much is valet parking?

Valet Parking is complimentary. Kindly remember to tip the Valet though! 😊

So they serve dining at the bar?

The salad bar is self serve.

What is the current price for lunch and dinner?

Lunch Hours: Monday-Friday 11:30am-3pm… 

What is included in the buffet price? Is the salad bar separately priced? How bout the cheese bread? Or the desert?

All the above EXCEPT desserts are included in buffet price.

Are you allowed to take cakes?

Cakes are allowed. They will put it in the back for you until you are ready for it to be served. They will even offer extra small plates and a knife.

Is dessert included?

No dessert is not included in the buffet price. But they do have various options for you to choose from for an additional price. Also drinks are not included either in case you were wondering.

Do the have patio dining?

Yes, there's an outside area that's closed off. It has fire pits as well.

Is it halal?

No ..... definitely not

Do they do parties like maybe of 12?

Under normal circumstances, yes they love parties of 12 or more. With the current situation with the Covid virus, I would call and ask first.

Does the happy hour menu include the salad bar?

The salad bar is included on the lunch and dinner menus at a discounted price.

Do they have a la cart menu too?

Yes they did. We didn't look at it , so I'm not sure if it is fixed or changed due to covid.

If Chama gaucha closes at 2:30 and reopens at 5:00. Am I able to continue eating lunch between 2:30 and 5:00 or do they clear the restaurant at 2:30?

You can continue eating. They just stop taking in new guests after 2:30.

Is the beef and chicken halal?

Do not believe so

Can I bring my own wine? If so, is there an additional fee?

Hi, I believe that you are allowed to bring in your own bottle of wine but they do charge a corking fee. The corking fee may be around $30-$50 dollars a bottle. I would call prior upon arrival.

I'm vegetarian. Can you only do the salad bar for dinner? Thanks.

Yes, at a discount rate too.

How much for dinner?

Dinner is going to be $54.95 for weekdays and weekends. Kids dinner is $15.95 (4-7 year of age) & $29.95 (8-11 years of age)… 

Could I get the buffet to go? Like how some buffet places.. they give you a box and soup box or whatever.. to fill?

I don't believe they sell "by the pound". I do think you can buy a bag of the cheese bread and they do have a "bar menu" where you can just purchase a serving of the meats.

For the table side service, are the sides that are on that menu included in the $52.95 or are those paid for separate?

Everything is included.

Are shrimp available in the lunch rotation?

Yes they are

Can you just do the salad bar for dinner?

Yes, and it is at a lower price.

Sometimes a good dinner at the bar is all you need, and 48 definitely understood the assignment!…read more Stopped in for dinner and treated myself to the fried lobster and a cocktail. The lobster was the star of the evening! There's something about a good seafood dish, a well made drink, and being able to sit at the bar and enjoy your own company that makes for a lovely night out.

Sometimes you just want to pull up a barstool, order something delicious, and enjoy your evening.

Post Beer & Wine is one of those neighborhood spots that instantly makes a bar crawl better. We…read morestopped in during a crawl and ended up lingering longer than planned, which feels like the best compliment you can give a place. We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way. Easy to talk, easy to stay, and not trying too hard to be anything other than a solid local bar. The real highlight, though, is Posty the bar cat. An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show. Post Beer & Wine is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when hopping around Houston, and absolutely worth a stop even if you are not on a crawl.

Met for a girls night in this cute little restaurant. The music was good and the atmosphere was…read morecomfortable. The bartender recommended a really nice wine and we shared a bottle over dinner. Two of us had steak, one strip the other filet. We shared French fries and green beans. Everything was so good!! The steak was cooked perfectly. Another friend ordered the grilled cheese with Gouda and loved it. It's definitely a do again!!

Outstanding dinner. Food was perfectly prepared and service was excellent. Highly recommend !read more

Me and a friend came here on a whim. We were in Houston and was headed to one place when we…read morestumbled across this place. We walked and and you had to have reservations however they had 2 spots at the bar upstairs so we sat there. It was a fine dining place and we were a bit casual but still nice where we didn't stick out so terribly..lol SERVICE: We were probably at the bar I would say at least 10 mins before anyone greeted us. And 2 ladies to our right may have been there I would say about 15 mins before us, only b/c they didn't have anything in front of them just yet. Looked like thwy hadn't been there long, however, evwrytime I turned around this guy kept checking on them making sure they were good. He seemed to be some sort of manager. Anyhoo, finally a server came and greeted us. She had a unique name that now I have forgotten, but anyhoo, she was really nice. It was restaurante month there so we took advantage of there pre-made menu that came with a 3 course meal excluding drinks. We were served our drinks and not to long our apps. And the ladies next to us may have been 5 mins in between us ordering. However their food would come out fast. Once our apps were finished I know it had to have been 20 mins or longer before our food came out whereas the ladies next to use finished there apps not to long before us and had their food in the next 10 mins or so. They were actually just about done eating their main course and our food hadn't even came out yet. Then a server brought us over the desserts and I was like we hadn't had our meal yet. At this point I was a bit upset b/c I felt like since we were 2 women of color we were being over looked. There wasn't many ppl of color in this place. Matter-of-fact I think I only saw one other table that had ppl of color sitting at it. Other than that it was just us. So I th3n ask for a manager. He came, same guy that had been fawning over the ladies next to us, amd he gave some lame excuse for th3 delay and mix up with the desserts and offered us a glass of Champagne, I don't even like Champagne, he could have offered either a drink of our choice of maybe a bit off the bill for the delay. I understood it was busy, but they also know it was restaurant week and they wasn't a delay with the ladies next to us. So I felt like he was a bit dismissive and I did t appreciate it. If it hadn't been for the service or our waiter we might not have stayed. FOOD: Now I will say the food was soo good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the beef salad although it came stacked and looked so great and my friend had the meatballs which she raved about. For dinner we both had the salmon which was superb. So no complaints here. Then the desserts. I had the carrot cake and she had the chocolate genache cake. They were delightful AMBIANCE: It was packed but not uncomfortable it was just a lot of ppl. But it also was quite a big place. They had a downstairs, upstairs and an outside area, so lots of seating, however they were extremely full. The bar was quite roomy and luckily we were able to take the end corner part which was perfect, b/c not a lot of ppl passing by us. Like we had our own little section. All in all is was nice, I would only go back during restaurant month or with a date who was paging b/c outside the prepaid menu which was $55 (not including drinks) most meals went from $40-$200pp and that is no exaggeration. So yea it was quite the fine dining experience.

The reason I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars is because the service was exceptional. Our server's…read morename was Dequan and he was excellent. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the food. This was my first experience with Credence and the atmosphere was new, modern and a little noisy. The lunch gnocchi was my first experience with gnocchi (in particular cornmeal gnocchi) so I have nothing with which to compare; I would probably not have it again but it wasn't bad. I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

Credence was such a good experience from beginning to end. The food was outstanding, the service…read morewas attentive without being overbearing, and our server gave genuinely great recommendations. The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.
