Our family loves this place! With two boys and so much going on around you, I do not worry if they will get enough to eat! Staff is extremely attentive. We have noticed that younger women tend to receive the best service from all of the servers carrying the meats. It's funny to watch. Salad bar is fantastic as well... More

We were recently in San Antonio to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Pharmacy School. My daughter suggested Chama Gauncha and I am glad we trusted her. Great place to eat for a special occasion. I have been to other Brazilian type steak houses, but I found Chama Gauncha to be several cuts above. The food was great. I was all... More

Just a truly amazing dining experience. The entire waitstaff literally trips over each other in attempt to cater to you. Awesome salad bar. Huge! Fresh and delicious Ions...but don't fill up on Salad, your meat selection is coming up! We completely enjoyed our meal and the price fit he service and cuisine!

I had never eaten a Brazillian style steakhouse before I tried Chama for the first time so I wasn't really sure what to expect but I gotta say this place blew me away. The service was top notch across the board. The facilities were extremely nice and the food was some of the best I've had here in San Antonio,... More

Two varieties, they were decent, not great The bad: - meat not that good,... More

This place was awesome! The salad bar was delicious, especially the apple salad and the potato salad. The service was excellent and nice. Even the owner was helping out. The steak was so good!!! Their sirloin and ribeye and everything else was awesome. The ribeye really stood out and was so juicy.The sides and the cheesy bread was also good.... More

We've been here once before, but my husband and I decided to eat again for our 1 year wedding anniversary. It was delicious, more meat than anyone could ask for. The salad bar was delicious too, artichokes, cheeses, salad, etc. I loved the fresh mozzarella. The little bread bites with cheese in them the bring to the table are delicious... More

I have been to Texas de Brazil and Fogo de Chao in Orlando, FL. This was our first experience at Chama Gaucha on a recent visit to San Antonio. I have to say the meat was the best tasting of the 3 restaurants. Now, I do not know if this is because we were in Texas but being from Brazil... More

Service was outstanding. The meats served were excellent but a little salty. I was not too thrilled with the salad bar but I am a very picky eater. We went for my 14 year old's birthday ( not realizing how expensive and classy it was). We bought our special needs 9 year old and staff was very accommodating to him.... More

Grease inside the bottom of the wine glass. Ugh! When the grease in the glass was pointed out to the service staff they became argumentative.
