    After dining here for many years during lunchtime Enjoying the yummy salad bar, we decided to do salad bar at night. Same delicious salad bar variation fresh food. We do not eat meat only salad bar. We are very excited to dine in there last night and we were very SHOCKED when we received our bill!  $46 for one person to eat at the salad bar. My friend and I were extremely shocked and disappointed. How can you charge $46 for the salad bar only, where if you add your meat it’s an additional $20. I can tell you that we will not be returning there ever again to enjoy their yummy delicious salad bar,!!

    We are truly sorry that this difference in pricing was unexpected and has led to your decision not to return, Cristina. We value your past patronage and appreciate your feedback on our salad bar.

    My experience I spent $500 only 3 Adults I do believe was a little bit expensive. Great quality food great service what I believe is just a little bit expensive.  I’m not too sure. Why will they charge so much on the liquor shots over $60 up to $75 per shot  that’s a little bit too expensive You could basically buy a bottle for the three shots that we took that’s something they need to focus and bring down the prices so they could have more clientele be able to drink and enjoy the night
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the great quality food and service during your visit. We appreciate your observation regarding the price of the liquor shots and understand your perspective on its value compared to purchasing a full bottle. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

    The amount of meat options aren’t comparable to other Brazilian Steakhouses we’ve been to. Could also be the preference and what is more demanding. And also, why don’t people like the grilled pineapple! That’s the best part!
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback, Heather! We're glad you enjoyed our atmosphere and found our service to be excellent. We appreciate your perspective on the variety of meat options compared to other Brazilian Steakhouses and understand that preferences can vary. We hope to welcome you back to Chama Gaucha again soon.
