First time in and I wanted to take advantage of the happy hour at the bar. I got there around 4:45 (happy hour is from 4:30-6:30). I was the only one at the bar the whole time. There are many options for happy hour including drinks, wine, and food. The portions were large considering the price, but almost everything was in desperate need of flavor. The truffle French fries were perfect but the sliders, salmon, and salad were all very bland. Considering I was the only person at the bar, it still took several minutes for me to be offered another drink when mine was empty. I think next time I go in, I'll try the full experience in the dining room. read more

Good food and service. Just a little disappointed because we created such expectations about this place and it's not even close to the level that most people talked about. Don't get me wrong, they are good, but regular good, not great or excellent like many people say. Had to ask many times for meats at the right temperature and they insisted on bringing left over, nearly burnt, meats from skewers that were almost at the end. At a place like this, where the average check is about 100 bucks per person, you just don't do that. Out of all their cuts, there were about three that were really good and well prepared: the regular picanha was a hit and miss, the chimichurri Picanha and the beef ribs were the best meat we had. We are Brazilians, and I love "churrasco" so I know quality meat & cuts and been to MANY places that are far better than what we saw at Chima's, for the first time, yesterday. For dessert, I ordered the Papaya cream and it was terrible if I had to score I would give a 2/10. The recap is that Chima is a good steakhouse but the two other competitors at the same price level here in Orlando, are better options with better quality meats overall. That being said, With so many options at the same level, and some other even better, we probably won't be back, just because of the small details. I'm giving three stars because of the 10+ times we had to say "no thank you" to beyond well done meat and the awful quality of my dessert. read more

Chima Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Orlando, Florida

WOW! This place is incredible, it's like if Texas De Brazil and Del Frisco's had a baby. It's the highest quality, best service and tastiest food I have ever had at a buffet/rodizio/tally/anything of the sort. And it wasn't just our waitress who was awesome, every single server of meat was constantly checking in on what we wanted and quickly bringing it (and asking what temperature we wanted it cooked to). I very here Friday and I'm still blown away by the experience. I'll be coming back soon. read more

Relatively new, this Brazilian steakhouse is located behind Barnes & Noble near Sand Lake and Dr. Phillips intersection. Our children chose this place to celebrate my new job, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The ladies had two cocktails, Banana Boat and Red Shangri-la, and they both loved them. The sons and I enjoyed a bottle of 2020 Pinot Noir from Napa Valley, which went finely with a good variety of grilled steaks, brought and carved at the table. To name a few: black angus picanha (top sirloin), filet mignon, steak with garlic, NZ rack of lamb, cajun ribeye, filet wrapped in bacon, and grilled pineapple with cinnamon. The salad bar and the side dishes, all inclusive, enhanced the dining experience. And the service was par excellent. Christianty was our server. We forgot the name of our SA. They both did a great job, explaining how to order or skip a round, as well as recommending drinks, desserts, coffee and tea. Of course, I got a complimentary cheesecake, which was delicious. We were so full that we could have only one Crème brûlée with passion fruit. What a feast for those who love meat and have a special event to celebrate! read more

Amazing dinner this is my third time but this time they had a beautiful women and gentleman playing live acoustic music!! Oh simply amazing made the atmosphere just PERFECT! I don't know if it's only Wednesday but I hope when we come back they are here again! And Hugo is the best!! read more

For a rodizio restaurant ok. Servers nice and dishes cleared as needed sometimes. Flank steak too fatty. Filet mignon good some times. Chicken legs only good one time. Salmon good. Salad bar Italian meats and cheeses inedible. Most other meats not very good. Shrimp ok. Lamb chops too small and just not good. While ambience nicer than Fogo misses the open cooking of the meats. read more

I had a fantastic experience here! The food was tasty & fresh and the service was wonderful. Thiago, & Donato were very friendly & attentive. They made sure all the meats we wanted were served at the correct temperature & were very communicative of when a certain cut of meat would be ready. My favorite cut will always be the picanha but I really enjoyed the shrimp & the salmon as well. The passion fruit sauce that gets paired with the salmon was very unique & delicious. This restaurant is also very beautiful. It's the perfect date night or birthday celebration vibe. Will definitely be back! read more

I like to do something special each month for the agents that are producing the most business as a thank you for their hard work and dedication. This month I decided to take them to Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, and honestly, for most of us, it was a first-time at this amazing establishment. Chima offers the most amazing group package menu, so you should inquire if you have a large group for a birthday or any special occasion. Also, they have a private room that you can book at no charge, though it does have a $1000 minimum, which I think is fair given the exceptional experience. Chima includes far more than most Brazilian steakhouses, in addition to the traditional meats, the selection includes offerings like garlic shrimp(to die for) and salmon. Every member of our party was fascinated. It's almost as though the food and fun never run out. The service here is top tier, the kind that's to be expected in Orlando's Restaurant Row, where most of Orlando's high-end restaurants are located. Most important, from the first time we walked into the hotel to be greeted by their well-dressed and friendly staff. We had Chris as our server and he just doesn't miss, he was attentive to every request and did it with a smile and added to the already great experience. This is one great restaurant with superb service. I would recommend it to anyone for any occasion, especially if you really want to make it special for your group. read more

New place in town, service really good. Maybe the service is what saves this place. The building structure is outstanding. Salad bar very limited. Rodizio humm someway ok, but nothing to compare with other Brazilian steakhouses restaurant chain. The ambience ok.. I don't know but I was not impress for a ver pricey dinner experience. read more

So I decided to change my review from 3.5 to 5.0. After over a year since my first time I heard that their food and service got better. So we decided to give a shot today. Indeed their buffet and their meat got a huge upgrade compared to what we had a year ago. you can feel quality in their food and service. Ambiance had improvements. At least the table we sit this time chairs and tables was comfortable and height was correct. Desert also should be mentioned with honor. They have a desert called tropical coconut delight that is really good! Worth try!! Indeed now is an extremely valid option for a good Brazilian BBQ read more

Tayron Torrico was our waiter, he did a fantastic job. Great service, great experience.

We went here for dinner and were amazed by the quality of meat and taste. It's much better than Fogo de chao or Texas de Brazil. They offer much better cuts and flavors are spot on. Highly recommended to try them out read more

Wow!! Another fantastic meal!! Beautiful restaurant and I love the service here. From the servers to the gaucho's ( men with meat on sticks). They always go out of their way to get you want you want like grilled shrimp (no tails no shell), grilled cheese with honey or grilled vegetables (yum). They also have their wonderful red meat chooses along with lamb, beef ribs, chicken drums and salmon. I love this place!!! Come and visit this wonderful staff!! read more

Had a group of 20 go to dinner at Chima and it was exceptional. We had such an awesome visit and our server Christiane was excellent. She was so attentive and ensured we had a great experience! The gaucho were so swift and always had new and flavorful meats for us. The pineapple is always my favorite. Love Chima and it's a great choice for couples, business meetings or large groups! read more

Chima is our go-to for Brazilian in Fort Lauderdale. Always great service, you can request meats and they come right out. It's family friendly although a bit dark in some areas of the restaurant. Their salad bar options are very good as well. We've tried Brazilian steakhouses in most major cities across the country and Chima is definitely in our top 5. Very consistent. Try the jalapeño beef and the pineapple! My personal faves. read more

Horrible service. They are careless in serving and they will damage your clothing. Do not go there, better options available. read more

The food was delicious and the service was incredible. I enjoyed having my birthday there with a big group of friends.

we had a great time! Maria S. was super friendly and helpful. Been to many "Brazilian" steakhouses but this one has the best variety of rodizio. Can't wait to go back! read more

I'll be honest, not my favorite Brazilian steakhouse. The meat is pretty tender here, filet mignon was really good quality and the most tender of all of the steakhouses I have visited. However, the pineapple was tough and did not taste fresh. The salad bar was not as good as others, sadly lacked the candied bacon and overall had bland offerings and nothing really tempting. Lastly, the meat took way too long to come out at times and they lacked the variety that others offer. read more

Sandra was fantastic. She was very helpful and nice. It was a very pleasant experience and all of servers were very accommodating! Definitely recommend the espresso martini and smoked old fashion! read more

10/10 recommend this restaurant from the staff, to the environment, to the food. Everything was absolutely spectacular! My husband planned a surprise birthday party for me with my friends and family and the staff did such an incredible job with keeping it a surprise and organizing everything with my husband perfectly! The food was absolutely phenomenal, the quality of the meat was outstanding, and the restaurant was such a beautiful atmosphere. The staff was extra sweet and did an incredible job tending to my party of 23!! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for any special events! read more

We live less than a mile from this sparkling new churrascaria in Dr. Philips and we were not disappointed on our first visit. We were quickly seated and greeted by our very attentive waiter Otto (Renato). Sleek modern decor and heavy flatware presaged a high-end dining experience. Otto, together with a team of gaucho-clad servers, soon brought superb caipirinhas, fluffy pães de queijo, polenta and other accompaniments. Our trip to the "bifet" (Brazilian "market table") also impressed, with a wide selection of quality salads, charcuterie, cheeses and also hot dishes (including turkey and fixings). Happy Thanksgiving! The main attraction - skewered grilled meats - began arriving in short order (once we flipped our little semaphores): perfectly rare picanha, fraldinha and filet, melt-in-your-mouth beef ribs and a long list of other succulent cuts. Complementing the carnivore fare were grilled salmon, shrimp, and queijo branco with honey. A second round of drinks included caipirinhas with açaí - a wonderful variation on the classic. Having starved ourselves over the previous 24 hours, we found room for dessert - we split a mousse de papaya with a healthy drizzle (a full shot glass) of cassis liquor, and a "Tropical Coconut Delight" - dark coconut cocada with vanilla ice cream. Both spot-on! Be warned - a meal at Chima can be pricey, but certainly no more than at other Orlando Brazilian barbecues, and well worth the cost! We'll be back over the holidays. read more

We were rudely told we would not be served a bottle of wine because one of the people in our party had red eyes. It was my daughters birthday and we had arranged a special birthday celebration which was destroyed due to the waiter. He was rude and the entire night ruined! WE WILL NEVER RETURN! read more

I'm with my friends family in Orlando, we came in to eat for her birthday, our friend was refused alcohol for non complaint reasons and he was a paying consumer so it felt disrespectful and embarrassing.The manager was just flat out awful .Its just disappointing and ruined the night read more

Bad experience, the manager was awful. Our friend has a disease so he has more red eyes and because of this they would not serve him ONE glass of alcohol and claimed he was drunk even though he was sitting calmly at the table?? Won't be back. read more

So. The ambiance is nice. I didn't like where the plates were placed. I know that sound silly but, it feels more like a cafeteria when you have to reach down under. The salad bar was ok. Not nearly as much offerings as some other popular places but, I typically don't care because the star is the meat. Unfortunately, the lamb never came around to us and my arm almost got sliced off. I went to pick up the tongs and he brought the knife down and I quickly retrieved my hand. maybe take a beat! Also, the meat...not that all meat needs to be but....I feel seasoning helps. Our server asked us how we like our meat cooked but, several times we got whatever they cut us. Cajun and skirt steak good. Our drinks took a long time to get to us. It wasn't crowded either. I feel the music could be a little louder actually as well. In any case, I'd recommend more seasoning salt and pepper, roasted veggies, different sides and dessert for free if the cost is going to be more than other places. read more

Higher end Brazilian steakhouse and you can tell. Food was exceptional! Definitely better than the others.

Our server maria was super attentive. She took great care in asking our preferences for appetizers, meat cuts and meat temperatures. Then took the time to send the gauchos with those specifications our way.. Perfect dining experience read more

Service was incredible and great food. We also have to say get the pineapple it's great

I was beyond excited to dine here last night. All of Our party of 4 whom of which was celebrating a birthday had never dined here before. We entered and were greated with an empty lobby. Left to stand their uncomfortable for a minute a host with a blank stair finally asked us if we had a reservation. We told her yes party of four at 7. She again left us uncomfortably waiting while she checked the dining room. Which was empty so confusion on why she couldn't just promptly seat us. Our server Sara came to the table straight faced and asked us if it was our first time.. she described the service and how the salad bar works in an extremely monotone manner. It seemed that once she realized we were not ordering expensive wines or drinks she gave up. She allowed our waters to go empty and took 15 minutes to refill the beers that were ordered. The tables are a but of a tight squeeze so I was concerned that one of us was going to get stabbed on numerous occasions. The uncomfortableness of having to lean forward or to the side just to relieve our food was unpleasant. If you are charging almost double the prices of the other Brazilian steak house, I expect fine dinning level of service. I expect the service to be over the top and to receive a smile at some point during the experience. I'm extremely disappointed that I had to walk around all the empty that was dropped on the floor and had not even attempted to be picked up by our server or the gaucho. I believe this place has the potential but can benefit from fine toning from the wait staff and management. We never once saw a manager on the floor. Please explain to your servers it is rude to curcle expected gratuity after giving quick service level of attentiveness to her guests. No thank you as we left the building even though 5 employees were congregating at the host stand. We will not be back. I honestly feel robbed of my money. read more
