A Dining Experience Can't say enough about this place. Entertaining, visually stimulating, excellent service and if you like steak this is the best I have ever tasted.

Outstanding restaurant Our son took us to Chama Gaucha while visitinig in Texas. This place is fantastic! The food was scrumptious, service was excellent and (VERY) fast and was great! Be sure to go hungry because there is so much to experience. Start with the vegetable/salad bar. This is not the high-end salad bar but a complete salad buffet - salads, cheeses, fresh, large and delicious asperagus as well as some sliced meats. Then, when you are ready for the main meat course be ready for slices of beef, chichen, pork that come to your table and are sliced off for your plate. What an experience. On a scale of 1-5 this is a 5+. It's not free but, for what is offered, it is a very fair price ~$35 per person. We generally don't eat like that but this was definately worth it.

overwhelming amounts of food, but try texas de brazil Went here for business, party of 280. The service was outstanding, could not ask for any better. Everything was timely, meat carvers were aggressive, they really hustled. Wait staff was great, professional yet very personable, you could tell they were having a good time caring for you and wanted you to feel comfortable. Never been treated any better by anyone. The less than stellar rating comes solely on food tast and quality. Not bland, but not jumping off your plate like you thought it should. Lamb not really desirable, chicken probably the least disappointing. But come on, anybody can do chicken. If food catches up with service here, watch out!

Good, but expensive I've been to several of these in Washington DC, this is the first Brazilian steak house I've been to in San Antonio. I thought the food was very good and it's always fun selection meat. We went for a special occasion so it was worth it, but it was not a place I would go often, because of how expensive it is. I have had comparable meals for much less. Unless standard dinners at other restaurants leave you hungry, the all-you-can consume factor is not worth it.

What a Special Experience!!!! We have never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse before and really did not know what to expect. We walked in and found the restaurant to be very crowded, a very good sign to us. The servers very carefully briefed us on the procedures for getting additional meat. Then you go to the salad bar/side bar. The danger here is that you wil be tempted to take too much food from the bar. Believe me everything looks and tasted soooo good. Save room for the meat!!!! You have a little card that turn overto the green side for more meat and the red side to stop the meat from coming. Turn the card over to green and you are besieged with servers with various kinds of meat. Lamb, ribeye, filet, top sirloin, etc. You pick the types of meat you want and the amount doneness and the server carves it at your table. I tried everything and found that all the meats were fantasic. Everyone at our table was very happy. The service was unbelievable. I cannot recommend this restaurant more!!!

The Real Deal All the other reviews pretty much nail it but......just remember to SKIP THE SALAD BAR AND PACE YOUR SELF. Don't just shove it all in your mouth as quick as you can. Its not a Chinese buffet make sure to try all the different meats. I went on a Tuesday night and it was crazy busy so they do want to get a decent turnover on the tables. So if you eat to fast and get stuffed in 10 minutes (which is very possible) order a drink, relax, digest and get some more. And be warned, your looking at 100 bucks for 2 people with tip and a drink but it is worth it. If you want a nice night out with some of the best meats you will ever taste this is the place. I also wouldn't bring a girl here within the first few dates because you have to over indulge to get your moneys worth.

Without a doubt, the BEST restaurant in San Antonio I have been going to "Chama" as many call it since it opened its doors. The service is top-notch. The quality of the meat is what you would expect of a $80 steak. The environment/setting is immaculate. The Palm, Morton's, Ruth Chris, and other well-known steakhouses in San Antonio pale in comparison. The price is more than fair, considering the fact that its a buffet. You can eat as much as you want. Not only this, but there is an extensive salad bar, again, top-notch. Aside from that there are so cheeses and dry meats which I really recommend. This is without a doubt, my favorite place to eat in San Antonio. I'd recommend the Top Sirloin if you're there. Also, make sure you try the classic Brazilian drink- "Caipirinha"

Carnivore's paradise Visited on a week end with 3 other adults, this is the 1st visit to this type of restaurant, the food was excellent, the service attentive but not over bearing, the cut of the meats was exquisite as was the quality and the choice from both the salad bar starter and the beef, pork, chicken etc was very good indeed, I am not one for the meat to be over cooked but this was perfect.

Price range is misleading! First of all, I should admit that it was a completely different experience. Calling the "gaucha" by putting a green card on your table, observing the great show (gauchas visit tables, cut meat carefully), taste of the meat, salad, bread, fried banana, service everything was excellent. The only thing I should say that it the price range you see on the tripadvisor is misleading. We also fell into that trap, went to restaurant, realized that we were a little casual regarding the environment, and learned that it is 40$ per person (eat as much as you want). Beware: this is not a "jeans, hoodies, sneakers" place. Probably great for special occasions.
