Chama Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse - Chicago

Where do we start?! This place is past amazing. There isn’t another steakhouse that is even close to this in quality, quantity and service.

Everything was exceptional especially the picante steak.

Natalia was an awesome server made sure we were well taken care of.

Can’t wait until I sell another million dollar house so we can come here again.

Keep up the good work!

Fine dining to say at the least. This is quite the experience when it comes to exploring an Brazilian steak house. While this is an expensive establishment, it's well worth every penny. Your money doesn't go towards just the meals, but everything you could ever want in a high end, luxurious meal. The service is outstanding, never missing a beat. The staff is informative and quick. The various cuts of delicious meats that are brought out, are explosive with fresh, delicious flavors that make the mouth water. The salad bar has a wide spread of tasty fixings for exquisite salad creations that you can ever want. The desserts are absolutely spectacular and a must try. I definitely recommend this luxurious meal experience. If you go, make sure you're hungry and take the time that this meal deserves to savor all the flavors.

Truly high class place! Amazing staff and food. Not 1 meat was good, all were amazing 😋 Perfect seasonings, cooked perfectly, tender and hot.
I tried them all and was extremely pleased.

BEST steak restaurant ever!! I've celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries, and just date nights with my wife. I've never been disappointed coming here for over fifteen years. The staff is amazing, professional, and courteous, and it's not just one staff per table. They all help out every customer. The salad bar is fenominal with a little bit of everything. They have a bar and also bring drinks and make some at your table, very nice. The side dishes include mash potatoes, fried bananas, chiles toriados, polenta, and especially the fresh baked Brazilian cheese bread.. yum!!! The many varieties of meat, beef, chicken, and veal arr all grilled to perfection.so much to choose from. Prices have gone up per person, but worth it. I will defenetly be returning and highly recommend coming to Chama Gaucha for any occasion.

We went for our wedding anniversary and it was our first time here. We had a great experience. Food was great, service was great and atmosphere was even better. Their bathroom was even gorgeous! Definitely going again.

By far this is the best experience I ever had with service. Tcheba is the best waiter there go ask for him! You never ever have to look around because he was already there ready for your questions and he made sure to accommodate every need. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend going and having Tcheba as your waiter!

I felt like I'm in a dream. My love for meat made me visit this place at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by the salad bar. The apple salad, chicken salad and the cheese options made me say "wow". The cheese bread was chefs kiss.
It became even more amazing when the meats started coming in. The options seemed endless, it was a pity I ate only so much, mind you I was having one slice of every different cut.
Would totally come back!

Stopped in after showing homes on a Tuesday. Did the valet (free) and was seated right away. I was quickly greeted by the server. He went over the menu with me as well as the drink options (alcoholic & non-alcoholic). There is a salad option or 2 to choose from, rice & beans, and a few other options from the salad bar. You get mashed potatoes and bananas along with bread. You then flip your chip for non-stop meats. They had lamb chops, bottom & top sirloin, house sirloin, pork ribs, beef ribs, leg of lamb, chicken leg, bacon wrapped chicken, lemon pepper chicken, bacon wrapped filet, garlic filet, and filet mignon. Everything was delish. If ypu love meats, you'll love it here.

Recently went for a birthday celebration and had a great experience! Staff is on top of the salad bar and the gauchos are great at remembering your preference in meat. We did have a long wait but we also did not have a reservation so I recommend making one in advance to save time.

It was our first time being here, the wife and I. We loved it here. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and very attentive. It was the small little details like they pulled the chairs out and pushed it in while you were sitting down. We went for our birthdays and anniversary to celebrate. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves steak buffet’s. I definitely will be coming back. Thanks chama staff for making the dinner incredible.

Definitely recommend to try this steakhouse. We were a large group that attended and of course had reservations made ahead of time.
Clean, service was great and meats were very tasty and not dry at all.

Great place for a good experience! Food is amazing especially the sweets. Great and quick service! Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chama Gaucha, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of over-the-top fantastic. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and experience, creating an inviting atmosphere that immediately had us feeling like royalty!

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the steak. Words can hardly do justice to the mouthwatering experience that awaited us. The perfectly seasoned, succulent cuts of meat were cooked to absolute perfection. Each bite was a flavorful journey, a testament to the culinary expertise that this establishment prides itself on.

The variety of meats offered was staggering, and each one was more delectable than the last. From the tender filet mignon to the robust flavors of the sirloin, every option was a delight to the senses. The expertly grilled meats were served tableside by the attentive and skilled servers, ensuring that we received each cut at its peak of freshness and flavor.

To enhance the delightful steak experience, the salad bar offered a refreshing and diverse selection. It featured fresh greens, vibrant vegetables, and artisanal cheeses, serving as the ideal complement to the sumptuous meat dishes. However, a word of advice: exercise restraint at the salad bar to ensure you have ample room for the continuous servings of delectable meats!

The prices were astonishingly affordable for the experience – just around $65 for the boundless steak buffet, complete with access to the gourmet salad bar. To complement our meal, we indulged in a pitcher of sangria, which was reasonably priced at around $35.

In summary, this Brazilian steakhouse is nothing short of a gastronomic masterpiece. The combination of exceptional service and mouthwatering steak makes it an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a culinary delight. My experience here was unforgettable, and I can't wait to return for another exquisite dining experience.

2nd time coming to Chama Gaucha, we had fantastic service and a great experience! The steaks are grade A and top quality! Definitely highly recommended for a special occasion or just an amazing all you can eat steak dinner!

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was also our first time. We’ve been to TDB and Fogo so I know this place will be similar to those two. We went for dinner around 6PM and they have complimentary valet. It was nice especially during the winter so you don’t have to walk in the cold/snow. The exterior was clean and the interior of the restaurant was warm and cozy. It was a busy Sunday night. We were seated right away with no reservations. Nice! We got the panna water and it was $6.50 a bottle while we also got some sodas to drink. The sides were the same from the other two Brazilian steak houses we’ve been to so it wasn’t really different. Our son ate his French fries while I indulged with the cheese bread and fried plantains. Now the meats were very good and superior compared to the other two places. I mostly had their lamb chops and pincaha. I also had their salad and some rice from the salad bar. My boyfriend focused at the meats as he loved them too! Service was phenomenal. They also take your coat off you so you can sit comfortably. Bathrooms are very small but so clean! For the complimentary birthday dessert, we chose chocolate mousse cake and it was so good and moist. We all finished it. Our son gave it a 10! They sing you a happy birthday song which I thought was a nice touch. All in all, I love this place. I highly recommend especially if you’re celebrating something or just because!

As said, fantastic food! Drinks are just right!
Salad bar didn’t disappoint. Can add more variety- my opinion.

Servers really care and strive to leave you feeling welcomed. He took time to explain wine and it’s make up- he also took time to explain why they serve 🍌🍌 Now, go ask!

Atmosphere was too much for me. Quite loud and bright lights. I noticed it where we sat. Dimming some lights will be ideally my style.

Chama Gaucha never disappoints. We came for my birthday dinner. Food, atmosphere and service were outstanding. Salad bar has some wonderful choices. Highly recommend the Picanha, filet mignon, bottom round, ribeye etc. They are all delicious and sliced right off the skewer at your table.

Its our first time to be here in this place the its a huge thumbs up. So many varieties of steaks you can try and they are all good. The salad bar has plenty of food to choose and the service was great.
When you come here, make sure your totally hungry, so you can enjoy all the steaks they have. Would definitely come back.

My favorite restaurant for steak. The prices can’t really be matched elsewhere because you can try all types of steak, their salad bar is great too. My favorite is the rib eye and their mashed potatoes. The seasoning of the meat is fantastic.

The quality of the food is exceptional!! Great service and very attentive! This place is wonderful l! For the amount of food it's worth the price. The cuts of meat are superb. The cold bar has fresh ingredients and a wide variety. This is a great date night, birthday, or any other celebration place! Casual dress and welcoming environment!
