Birthday gathering for my daughter was a complete success here! From the moment we entered the parking lot, the customer service was on point! It was a totally new experience at this type of restaurant. We were excited to try everything! Thank you to the amazing staff for making my daughter's celebration a night to remember! We will be back!

Food is great, the service was exceptional. The managers were really nice and accommodating to our requests. It is definitely not a quiet and slow space atmosphere because of the servers running around. I brought my out of town guests there and they were pretty impressed. The servers were quick and efficient.

One of my fav Brazilian steakhouses in Houston. Service is always top-notch, salad bar has great varieties / options and meat is very well seasoned and tastes wonderful. We visited on a Friday for lunch and the place was pretty much packed but the service was still speedy and the meats kept coming out at a good speed. Recently though they have changed a few policies which are disappointing. They charge $3 for the jalapeños and onions which we weren’t informed until we saw it on the bill. Their complimentary appetizers have decreased quite a bit. We only got the bread and mashed potatoes. No plantains, chimichurri sauce etc. They also used to have free refills on the lemonade but not anymore. There was also no bread or plantain chips or soup. These changes although may seem minor but definitely affect the whole experience specially when the food there is not cheap.

Had our company party here. I almost missed the entrance because a big bush grew over the sign. Was my first time dining here. Our server was good, she was very polite and helpful. I don't really feel like there was a big option of meats, was a little slow to come back, I actually had to ask server to tell them to come back. The sides were good, they had some really good options. Lunch time was not busy at all. The offer espresso which was good as well. Restrooms were clean, the atmosphere was good and place looked high end. Overall it was a good Brazilian steak house, good experience.

We had no reservations but we were immediately seated. Everything was superb, the bacon wrapped filet mignon OMG, like butter. The salad bar was excellent, drinks were on point. Everyone was so NICE I mean EVERYONE!! It was a great time I mean by far the best customer service ever. Shout out to Brian our waiter.

We came from different states for a reunion and it was a blast. We had two long tables and they allowed us to pay separately with gratuity already included. Food as usual is excellent. Their mint sauce is not authentic mint sauce (tasted like salsa lol) but really nice service otherwise. I always love the salad bar/and I call cheese buffet the charcuterie buffet lol. It’s actually my fave spot. Clean. Great place to dine. Coffee is amazing. Free parking. Small but clean restrooms.

Chama Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse in Houston offers an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the service is attentive, making it a great spot for any occasion. The selection of meats is superb—each cut is tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The salad bar is fresh, diverse, and pairs well with the endless array of meats. Whether you’re a fan of beef, lamb, chicken, or pork, the variety here is impressive. The overall ambiance adds to the experience, making it an unforgettable culinary treat. Highly recommended for meat lovers!

Usually go to Fogo, but this place beats it by a mile. Grazing bar was a lot better, including fancy cheeses you’ve never heard of, sugar covered figs, and prosciutto and salami. Meat quality is superior, but their grilled cheese with honey was lacking. Cinnamon pineapple was great. Annoyed that you have to valet park with a huge parking lot.
