We visited Chama gaucha on Tuesday evening, January 28th. After we entered, we were quickly greeted and seated. I will note that on this visit, we were guests and had no actual cash outlay. After we were seated, a wait person stopped by to explain how everything works and flows. I will note that we have been to Chama gaucha and are fortunate to return. We ordered our drinks and quickly set off to the salad bar (pictures attached). After the salad bar, the sides and flows of various meat selections began. For the sides, we opted for mashed potatoes, the little cheesy bread rolls, and some other items - fried bananas and bread. Meats were filets, sirloin, other cuts, sausage, chicken, etc. Overall, we had a great time. The service is top-notch, and the staff is very professional.

Very good experience everyone was great on top of stuff, over fed and made my grandma have a great birthday thank you Chama staff keep being great. Steak was of high quality they brought out 3 options of salsas to spice things up, brought me my additional salt and pepper as needed no fuss, lamb chops were amazing, chicken very flavorful. Salad bar well protected from germs versus other steak houses i like that. Bathrooms and enviorment were clean.

I've been here two times & have never been disappointed in the quality of the customer service or the food. The different steaks & chickens are well cooked to my well done standards & the salad bar is full of choices like asparagus or beets. Then I have to mention how attentive the wait staff is here. If they even think you're hungry for more, they'll come running to you to ask if you're good on cuts of steak or drinks or want plates removed. Once I was seating myself & our waitress who was helping another table next to us stopped mid-sentence & ran to our table to push my chair in as I sat, then returned to her original table to continue waiting on them. Never ran into this type of service before. Lovely lady helping us.

Chama Gaucha made my husband’s birthday celebration truly special! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a memorable evening. The food was absolutely delicious—every cut of meat was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. One thing I really appreciated was that the servers always asked if there was a specific cut of meat we wanted to see, ensuring we got exactly what we were craving. The salad bar was also impressive, offering a great variety of fresh and flavorful sides. That said, I wouldn’t recommend the garlic sirloin—it was a bit too garlicky for my taste. The service was fantastic! The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the night special. As a thoughtful surprise, they brought out a complimentary dessert for my husband’s birthday, which was such a sweet touch. If you’re looking for an incredible dining experience with top-tier service, Chama Gaucha is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!

There is nothing not to love about this place! From the excellent service we got from our waitress, Sarah, to management being out and about on the floor helping with the small things (like clearing tables), and to the amazing food! My husband and I loved it all! We recommend always making a reservation ahead of time, as it does get packed, but for good reason.

The food here is outstanding. Our server told us not to fill up on the salad bar which was incredible, very good advice. Then the meats started arriving to our table as well as a few very tasty sides. Every item was superb. We must have been served by at least seven different people and the were all very polite and courteous. We were very well taken care of and this was out first time dining there. As much as the food was on point their service was even better!! Can't wait to return as this meal was an experience not just another dining outing.

This place beats its competitors in my eyes. Just to start the adventure, the center bar was loaded with options all flavored to perfection. The meats were more then just a few selections. My child's personal favorite was the smoked sausage. Will definitely be back.
