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. read more

I am extremely disappointed with the way we were treated at Chama Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse this past Friday night. We had an 8:30 pm reservation, were seated, and then essentially ignored for most of the evening. Our drinks took an unreasonably long time to arrive, and we had to repeatedly ask different servers just to get basic service. The most unacceptable part was the meat service, which is the main reason people come here. Multiple servers walked right past our table over and over without stopping, despite our cards being open and clearly visible. We were ready to be served, yet completely overlooked. What made this even more upsetting was watching another couple seated next to us after we arrived receive constant attention. Servers went to their table frequently, offering them cut after cut, while we sat there being ignored. The difference in treatment was obvious and unacceptable. This was not a cheap dinner, and the level of service we received was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. We left feeling frustrated, unwelcome, and questioning why we were treated so differently. For a restaurant that claims to provide a high-end dining experience, this was a complete failure. Management seriously needs to address this. No guest should ever feel invisible in your establishment. Our table was 145 read more

I'm not a huge steak person, so trust that this is a great spot. Came here for lunch and while the food is great, the service is even better. Every cut was seasoned well and tasted great. A couple times, the cook of the meat was not to my preference, so they made it separately and brought it out. I loved the lamb picanha and the ribeye. And something I've never tried before and loved were the grilled bananas. Will be back again. read more

Service is spot on , hostess got us a better seat in the front and meat is amazingly delicious

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) read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Overall ambiance was nice dimly lit, service was ok very attentive but were not able to cut the meat properly resulting in improperly doneness of the steak which was requested. Flavors were alright. Salad bar was excellent and fried bananas were a table favorite read more

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. read more

Chama Gaúcha - Houston - Salad bar - Brazilian Near Me - Houston, Texas

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! :) read more

This is an extremely beautiful Brazilian steakhouse with amazing staff, that genuinely care about great service from the moment you enter. Until the moment you leave, went during lunch had a few old fashions which were incredible and of course hit the salad bar.

Came here for a friend's birthday party. Parking is complimentary valet only with tips appreciated. The restaurant is quite large. The ambience was modern with warm lighting. All staff were kind and accommodating. This was my first time at a Brazilian steakhouse so I was pretty open minded to the concept. Each guest had a paper chip with one side green the other side red. Green meant to keep bringing food and red meant stop. They served mini bread at the table. I did not try it, but it smelled good. Majority of the guest at the table ordered side cars and Brazilian lemonade. Once everyone showed up we stood in line for the salad and sides buffet. A major downside was no placards were visible to tell you what dish was what. One of the party guest had a seafood allergy so she was very leary as to what dish had what. Needless to say she didn't try many sides. There was no hand sanitizer before touching the serving utensils either. There was no clear direction as to how to proceed around the buffet so a lot of patrons were confused and the line was long. I had the arugula salad from the salad bar and that was it. The other sides did not look appetizing to me. The arugula salad was amazing and fresh. Once at the table waiters served sides from a bowl. No sides or meats were stationary at the table. If you enjoyed a particular side/meat you had to wait for them to bring the dish around again. They served mashed potatoes which were delicious, charred mozzarella cheese, Parmesan crusted chicken, chicken wings, bacon wrapped filet mignon, steak, lamb, and shrimp. I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb, bacon wrapped filet mignon, steak, and the Parmesan crusted chicken. It was hard to get a refill on water once the waiters came out with the food. I asked three different people for water and the last person came back with a pitcher of water to replenish the table. It took a long time to get the bill, because there were twenty five people at the table. They got several people's bill wrong due to confusion. If you had an alcoholic or a mocktail beverage those guest had written tickets that needed to be collected/added to their bill. Waiters were charging people who did not eat, but got a drink for the dinner price. This dinner was definitely expensive. Be prepared to pay $80 bucks or more for your dinner. Dinner fee was $64.95 per person, $5.36 food/non-alc tax, 20% automatic gratuity which was $12.99. Therefore I paid $83.30. People who had drinks bills were $100 plus. Side note the women's bathroom is small with 3-4 stalls for a large restaurant and is at the front of the restaurant. I would like to try this place again, but for lunch when it is possibly not as crowded. read more

I had been here a few years ago for a private event and had been very impressed by the service, atmosphere and food. When I returned recently for another event, I was hoping that my memories were accurate. I was not disappointed. It is completely correct to describe dining here as an experience. From the moment I walked in, the attention I was given was noticeable. The server came to ask us what we would like to drink and explained each option when asked, including flavor nuances and ingredients. The citrus chama spritzer was amazing! A combination of sweet and tangy with a fizzy kick. And those appetizers! There seemed to be a never ending supply of cheese bread balls, which were absolutely scrumptious. I had to make an active decision to stop eating them in order to save space for dinner. It was a wise choice. The salad bar had plenty of options, including pasta, cheese and the aforementioned salads. And then it was time for the main course. I love the table service of revolving meats. The servers rotated around at a good pace, and I was please at the variety of options, cuts and level of cooking. I especially enjoyed the ribs and chicken. The perfect ending to the meal was the extremely generous dessert. The molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was decadent and rich and delicious! A truly wonderful experience! read more

Came here for Sunday Brunch and I knew the vibe was good because I was able to find a parking spot right out front. Most of the lot is Valet parking because it's in the same strip with a lot of trendy restaurants. We were quickly seated and directed to the salad bar until the meats started circulating. The salad bar was nice with several options for both hot and cold sides. Hot: mushrooms, potatoes, Brussels & chicharrones Cold: Caesar/Berry salad, melting mix, cheeses, smoked salmon, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, chick pea salad & several more Staff brought the Brazilian cheese bread & mashed potatoes to the table as well. I didn't like that the grilled pineapple was a la carte vs rotation with the meats as well. Cost is about $65 each, so if you love meat, this is a good option. read more

Came in for Father's Day dinner. They have complimentary valet up front, so that's really convenient. We had a reservation for 4, so we didn't have to wait long for our table. The restaurant is very pretty, the decor is nice and dark and our waitress was very nice. The meat selection was very good, everything tasted delicious. In comparison to Fogo and Gauchos, I think I preferred the meat here. However, I'd say Fogo had a superior salad bar they have more options in my opinion. We also ordered the Brazilian lemonade and Bananas Foster with ice cream. Lemonade was fantastic! The bananas foster was good but they were a bit stingy with the banana portion. Overall, I think we'll definitely be back we really enjoyed our experience. read more

The food was delicious. The "salad" bar is enormous but I only chose to get one plate full to save space for the meat. The picanha was my favorite, followed by ribeye and the lamb chops. Nearly everything else was delicious. The only meat I didn't like was the pork sausage, but that was just personal flavor preference. Both deserts were delicious. The Lemonade was very strange. It was frothy and very strong. But the taste seemed artificial like the smell of dish soap. My only real complaint was that there were unexpected costs. Prices for things like drinks and deserts are not listed so I assumed they were part of the large list of things that ARE included. When paying that much for a meal it is an easy assumption that non alcoholic beverages are included - they are not. Sodas were provided in a can and were $3.50 each. And a refill was another $3.50 can. Deserts are $12. Overall, it was a fun experience and the meat sweats were real. read more

Have been here now once for my birthday, and the second just recently for thanksgiving. I honestly felt like the quality of the meat tasted better than I remembered. On the pricier sides, so we only really come here for special occasions. Medium rare cuts were the way to go for me. The meat that was memorable to me was the steak! All the different meats were absolutely delicious. The Brazilian lemonade was so delicious and we got a pitcher for a table of 6, honestly should have gotten 2! Don't pass up on the salad bar! Super nice place to enjoy celebrations or a boujie day out. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing service & food! Good ambiance I love the way this place has improved and their food menu!

The meat is always cooked well combined with the buffet of side dishes. I personally like their mashed potatoes the best. The servers and people who bring out the food are always attentive and friendly. The ambiance is always nice since they dim the lights. The only complaint I have is that the tables can be quite close to each other to the point where I am able to hear another party's conversations pretty clearly. This restaurant is a nice place to bring your family or friends if you have a special occasion. It's AYCE, so it can be worth the price if you choose your meats well. read more

We love Brazilian Steakhouses! We've visited the one in SATX and loved it there too. Went here to celebrate birthdays. We had reservations at 6pm on a Friday. When we arrived, we were seated right away and were given an option to sit in the busy area or more quiet area. We chose the quiet area. In short -- everything was delicious and worth it. Longer version below for newcomers who don't know what to expect... For any newcomers-- this is an all you can eat steakhouse! The only thing we didn't like was -- we were bombarded immediately with drink options and we haven't even sat down yet. It was happening too fast and so many surrounded us. We were all overstimulated. They brought over a purse rack for us and we were seated. The lady spoke so quick and it was hard for us to understand her. Once you're seated, they'll take your drink orders and offer you alcoholic beverage options. They also have a bar cart going around constantly. Then they'll send you off to the salad bar to begin. They have various selections of greens salads, pasta salads, potatoes and cheese. I loved their cheese! We are a meat-based family so we didn't really go for any of the salads. After they see that you're done with your salad plate, the server will give you a new plate for your meat. You have a little square card -- "yes, please!" And "no thank you!" for you to flip as you eat. Gauchos/passadores (servers who come around table to table with different types of meat) will stop at your table and ask if you want. The tongs at your table is for you to grab your slices of meat to place on your plate. Everything was delicious. They served us sirloin, filet mignon, bacon wrapped filet mignon, chicken wings, picanha, shrimp, lamb chops, lamb roast, beef ribs, ribeye and chicken Parmesan. Some were a little too salty for my tastebuds. They serve endless and plenty of side dishes. We had, mashed potatoes, Brazilian bread, fried banana and polenta. They'll keep serving your sides, as much as you want. And they ask multiple times if you have any requests. Overall, we enjoyed it and we still love this place! read more

Not sure if you are going to improve or instead go back for better quality service, timely service and more tasty meet that you had before, time ago. Today we were there with the family, we have been there before, many times. As soon as we arrived there, we asked for the meats that we wanted and how we wanted. They took more than 30 minutes to give us few pieces of meat very raw ....... so no way to eat any and then they took more than 20 minutes to give the first pieces of what we asked for. In addition, we were amazed that the servers did NOT know well, at all, what is 1/2, 3/4, medium well and well done meats. Time ago they had servers who knew well what they were doing, what they were serving and how to do. It is GONE, we may not go back any more, very expensive and down for that experience. How to go back to wait an hour to receive the first pieces of the meat that you asked for ???? Instead eat meat, we have not choice but eat from the salad bar as they took about an hour to serve first pieces of meat that we asked, and not very tasty as expected. San Antonio location is a lot better in quality, service, everything. Not sure why Houston location had gone down on everything. read more

First time at Chauma, really loved it! I'm a big fan of Brazilian steakhouses, and this place really hit the spot. The meat selection was great, along with the sides and salad bar which had plenty of options. Since it was really busy, the servers came slightly less than I would have liked, but they had no problem giving me additional slices when I asked. The low lighting of the place was nice, and served as a great romantic spot for dinner. Very much recommend! read more

Absolutely Outstanding -- 10/10 Every Time! We absolutely LOVE Chama Gaúcha! It's one of our favorite spots, and we've been coming here for years -- even my young sons enjoy dining here (which says a lot!). The food is always top-tier -- perfectly seasoned cuts of meat, a fresh and beautiful salad bar, and sides that complete the experience. Most recently, we celebrated a 30th birthday here, and even though the restaurant was busy, the managers went above and beyond to accommodate us with such grace and professionalism. They made the evening special and seamless from start to finish. From the warm welcome at the door to the last bite of dessert, Chama Gaúcha consistently delivers excellence. Definitely worth all the hype and then some! If you're looking for great food, great service, and a memorable dining experience -- this is it! read more

I haven't been here in two years since moving to the Bay Area in California. Luckily, I took my brother out here for his first Rodizio/Churrasco experience yesterday January 14th, 2025 for an early birthday dinner since I'm flying back to California next week. Looking back at previous responses, Ilenia, if you can please give a lot of credit and thanks to Christina who was our initial server, she was phenomenal. As a matter of fact your entire team last night handling our table at 25/6 were amazing! I'm currently looking at my receipt and also see the names of Server: Fernando and Cashier: Rosalba who may have also assisted us. I'm unfamiliar with a gentleman assisting our table but I do believe that Rosalba was the other sweet lady taking care of us. My brother was very impressed with the service and he is looking to eventually take a lucky lady out for a dinner experience here in the near future. I'm actually feeling a bit bad that this is first experience, but regardless of the matter, he has fallen in love with your interior of your restaurant, as well as the service. His favorite meats he has shared were the Picanha, and Ribeye. The Pão de Queijo was bomb as per usual. I'll be the first to say, your Pão de Queijo is the best tasting and most consistent out of all the Churrasco's I've been to. I hope to be back on a future visit to Houston and I'll make sure it's sooner than two years. For those looking for specific details, I highly recommend coming on a weeknight to have that amazing cultured customer service with genuine interaction. Parking isn't as bad on the weekends and valet is still complimentary, but I highly suggest tipping the drivers. Dinner for both my brother and I were $61.95 per person as I like to be transparent. Please continue to stay consistent and take all my money. LOL. read more

Best Brazilian steak house in Houston ... HANDs down. The food is amazing and the service matches the food. The place was remodeled not that long ago and looks great. They also added a hookah smoke lounge and that's fun to do and it's only $25. This is the best of the rest. read more

Wow! My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary and decided to try new places for our meals. This is where we went for lunch. There were so many choices on the salad bar, including a cheese bar. I enjoyed all the cuts of meat offered. My favorite things were the figs on the salad bar that had a crème brule crust. Yum! The restaurant was extremely busy, especially for the middle of the week and lunch time. We had to ask for the sides twice, but they finally brought them. I do think the lunch price is too pricey. What we paid for each of us was what I would have expected for dinner price. Overall, we would definitely return. read more

Chama Gaucha is hands down my favorite Brazilian steakhouse. While it may not have the exact upscale look of Fogo de Chão or other big chains, the food more than makes up for it. Like most Brazilian steakhouses, you start at the cold buffet, which has cheeses, freshly sliced deli meats, olives, veggies, soups, salads, deviled eggs, pasta--everything. It's tempting to sample everything because it all looks so good, but try not to overdo it, or you'll miss out on the real meal! They bring mashed potatoes, plantains, and pao de queijo to your table. Warning, the pao is dangerously good. I made the mistake of eating way too many and had to tap out on the meats earlier than I'd have liked. The mashed potatoes are perfect when hot, though they cool down quickly. Luckily, they'll bring a fresh batch if you ask, though I hate wasting food! The selection of meats includes sausage, filet mignon, ribs, chicken, picanha, and more. The picanha is always the highlight for me. The staff was super attentive, constantly checking in, though I did have to ask a couple of times for picanha. That's okay though; it gave me a chance to pace myself with all the options. Parking is a bit of annoying since valet is pretty much the only option, even though there's a whole lot available. read more
