My family of 4 went at lunchtime for my husband’s birthday. They accommodated both my 9 year old and my 16 month old amazingly (brought him fresh fruit and actually acknowledged him!). The wait staff went above and beyond. They made this experience so enjoyable!

Hey everyone,I’ve been a massive fan of Chama Gaúcha for years. Seriously, it’s been my go-to spot for any special occasion, and I’ve raved about it to anyone who’d listen. My family and I went there to celebrate an occasion, so you can imagine we were really looking forward to a good meal. The place is usually buzzing with friendly faces, and yesterday was no different - the staff greeted us like old friends, and the vibe was just as warm and welcoming as I remembered.The setup at Chama Gaúcha is pretty neat with an open salad bar before you dive into the main event - the steak. We did as we always do, got a bit of salad before our plates were filled with the real stars of the show. Everything tasted fantastic, living up to my memories of why this place was my favorite.But things took a weird turn as we were winding down. The manager came over to check on us, which I thought was nice until he zeroed in on our salads. What started as a casual check-in quickly escalated. He asked if we were going to finish our salads, and I tried to explain, super politely, that we were full from the main course. Suddenly, he raised his voice, chastising us about waste right in the middle of the restaurant. Saying do you think the salad is for free? Do you think we don’t pay for the salad? We’re not gonna serve you next time, etc. etc. Everyone started staring, and what was supposed to be a happy family meal turned super awkward and uncomfortableI was so taken aback, and confused about what’s going on. I never get treated like this in this restaurant ever I know the Owner we always talk. Everyone treats us in a really good way. There’s never been any sign saying you gotta eat every bite of your salad or else. I even offered to take the leftovers home to avoid waste, but he wasn’t having any of it. Just kept going on at us in front of everyone loudly talking to us everyone on the table in a really disrespectful way and if like we do this on daily basis it’s just something that happened so unintentionally that we did not finish our salad and it’s probably the first time happening.It was beyond embarrassing and completely unprofessional and ruined our night. The thing is, I’ve always talked up Chama Gaúcha, telling everyone how great it is. But after being treated like a kid getting a lecture for something so minor, I just can’t see myself going back. Actually would never.It’s such a shame. The food is still amazing, but part of what makes a restaurant great is feeling welcome and respected. I hope they take this feedback on board. A simple heads-up or a polite reminder would have been enough if there was an issue. There’s no need to make customers feel bad, especially when it’s something so unintentional. And especially that the customers are there to enjoy themselves and support your business.So yeah, that’s my story. It’s a bummer because I’ve loved Chama Gaúcha for so long, but I guess it’s time to find a new favorite steakhouse.

Freshest, most flavorful meats I've had. I love how the outside could be so seared and the inside so tender.

I normally don't do a five five star rating. However this is one of the best restaurants in Texas. I am a foody and I like foods from many cultures. This place is so good I'll cook recipes from different restaurants instead of going sometimes except for this place. I highly recommend you go here. You just have to try it. Even the salad bar is top notch. ? and the meats omg the meats and then to pair thme with a good bourbon my God it's good. And the key lime pie is real custard style paired well with an iced coffee made with fire ? right at your table. The place is more than just a restaurant, it's an experience.

The service was impeccable. The salad bar fresh and tasty. The artichoke hearts were delicious. The meat well seasoned and cooked. I wad surprised that seafood was not offered (possibly an extra charge along with the roasted pineapple). A bit pricy, but overall decent experience
