Chima Steakhouse

In a dozen times here it's always been the same -fantastic. The food is great, the service is attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance is wonderful. They take reservations which may be the best part.

I gave this a three star for two reasons, some people like this style of restaurant and my experience wasn't horrible. I do not prefer this style of all you can eat restaurant. I do not eat that much. So here is my review. It was $60+ a person the night we went, New Year's Eve, the food was BLAND. The selection of sides were mediocre. Overall, just a mediocre place. The meats had no flavor to me, just the temperature of the meats were spot on. My man thought the food was good. We drove over an hour to this restaurant from Columbia, SC and I was disappointed because we have two similar restaurants here that we could have went to. On a good note, the restaurant itself is very nice. Upscale and a very nice vibe to it. Very modern, the staff looked very well put together. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Oh, they have free valet which was pretty darn cool!

Chima is exactly as advertised, good all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse in a classy atmosphere. My advice would be to make sure you don’t fill up on the salad bar until you’ve had your fill of meats. I only give 4 stars because I think the biggest draw of Chima is the quantity of food. Quality-wise, I would prefer a different steakhouse for a very high end cut of meat, particularly with how expensive a meal at Chima is. Overall though it’s a cool place to try once or twice. Would recommend coming during Queens Feast.

Only thing I would change is their reservation and waiting process. As nice of a restaurant should have a texting system instead of walking around yelling the party name. We almost missed our table because we didn't understand how the girl was saying my husbands first name... Kevin-should not be hard to understand, but it was. Luckily Kevin was listening for party of 2, so he asked her what she was saying and gave the last name. Food was delicious, drinks were perfect.

This is a great restaurant. I have dined here multiple times and have not experienced any problems.

The food is always great. Service is awesome. This is a wonderful Brazilian steakhouse. I would highly recommend this steakhouse.
