When I get great service I always love to give a shout out to the waitress. CRISTIANE WAS AMAZING!!!she had great energy from beginning to end. She explained everything to me and created a warm and inviting atmosphere. I was a rookie so I loaded up at the salad bar. That is a big no no if you go here because once they start serving the meats you won't want to stop eating. They are delicious. My favorites were the filet mignon and the Cajun steak but you must try the pineapple. It is so yummy. I had to take a break half way through to make room for more cuts of meat. Cristiane cheered me on to eat more. She was such a good waitress. I had a few strawberry Caipirinha and they were awesome. I was told that it was a popular Brazilian drink and since I was at a high end Brazilian Steakhouse I thought why not. The deserts were fantastic. I had a cheesecake and something else I can't remember at this time but they were really good as well. All the staff are great and treat you like a valued customer. It is best to make a reservation because they can get busy. If you do make a reservation ask for Cristiane....She will make sure you have a great time. And the Gaucho (servers of meat) will make sure your meat is served at perfect temperature. read more

Chima Steakhouse - Caipirinha - Steakhouses Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Decided to go out for my birthday to try this a little over a year old restaurant. We love a good Rodizio!! The restaurant is located in a heavily populated restaurant location! I was concerned as to how that would affect its attendance. I was actually surprised that it was well attended on a Wednesday night. They originally wanted to seat us and everyone in the front window location. Understandable, not only for ease of serving but to show a full restaurant to outsiders. Unfortunately I did not want to sit in that are and the manager was very accommodating. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated, with great lighting , ambience and decor. They have a nice happy bar area location as you walk in with great choices and prices. They also have a separate location for a private party too. My husband and I were seated in the main dining area. Although at first glance the salad/ food buffet appeared small and narrow it actually is extremely full with many choices to make everyone happy from a carnivore, pescatarian or vegetarian. Extensive variety just served in smaller bowls. Great way to avoid waste and contamination too. The Rodizio experience was first class! Everything is included for one price as far as meats even the Tomahawk steak too! Nothing is held back, salmon, shrimp, chicken, sausages, pineapple etc. You ask for what you like and how you want it served and they bent over to accommodate us. My husband likes his meats mooing and I know many will be upset but I like my meat well done or no pink. Going to a great Rodizio makes it possible to please us both. If you do like your meat well done I suggest you avoid the less expensive cuts here ( they were a little too tough). Every else was cooked perfectly for both of us. The Brazilian cheese rolls were so good we had two baskets. One thing not to miss, is their variety of dipping sauces at the center bar. Do not miss trying their Spanish/ Brazilian dipping sauce if I could bottle it to take home I would! In addition to the buffet choices and the variety of main entrees you are also served the traditional table side dishes of mashed potatoes ( needed seasoning) , fried bananas ( not glazed or caramelized enough for my liking), fried polenta sticks (AMAZING) and a basket of skinny French fries ( also perfectly done). Dip those fries in the sauces it was yummy. My husband ordered Flan for his dessert ( which he said was good) and I received a complimentary cheesecake with homemade strawberry sauce ( it was delicious too)! Glad I save up room for my dessert. I highly recommend signing up for their VIP email members club. They are now offering a BOGO Rodizio for your birthday month when you sign up ahead of time to get on their email list and then you have to put the birthday code you're given in your reservation. Definitely worth going to try it out on a special occasion!! The Tomahawk was grilled to perfection!! They also offer free valet parking too. I think we may go back for their happy hour food and drinks at the bar the food and drink choices sounded great. PS Make reservations because They are closed for a few hours in the late afternoon between the end of lunch hours and then reopen at 5pm. read more

I've been to Chima a couple times and the food and drinks were consistently outstanding! The restaurant is beautiful and they occasionally have live music in the bar/lobby area. Every meat is seasoned to perfection! The grilled pineapple is so delicious, plus the enzymes aid in digestion after such a heavy meal. The service is amazing, we receive warm greetings when we enter, the staff are all so friendly and charismatic and our waitress Cristiane was so kind and attentive! She ordered all of the hot sides to our table and kept them replenished. She took the time to get to know us on our first visit and remembered us upon our return a couple months later, actually several staff members did and they treated us like family. read more

Chima in Dr. Phillips was a wonderful and highly recommed experience! This is one of the more upscale Brazilian steakhouses in the area which is perfect for date night or celebration. The service was impeccable; our servers were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. And the food--wow! The selection of meats was impressive, with each one cooked to whatever temperature you prefer. There was plenty of variety from different cuts of steak, fish, shrimp, cheese, and the grilled cinnamon pineapple was my favorite! The salad bar was equally amazing, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options. The only downside is you can't possibly eat everything! Besides the rodizio, I saw they also had lots of specials in the lounge to fit your needs. Looking forward to returning! read more

I made a reservation for 1:00 pm on a Saturday. We got there early and they sat us right way, though the main dining area was pretty much empty. The dining area was bright, especially compared to the dark interior of Texas de Brazil. They have a similar salad bar as Texas de Brazil, with a few differences. The have a few more meat dishes, such as beef and sausage and beans. When it was time for the gauchos to serve meat, the waitress brought us a few side dishes: mashed potatoes, fried yuca, french fries, fried bananas coated in cinnamon, and mini cheese bread. But Texas de Brazil only offers mashed potatoes and fried bananas. It should almost go without saying, but make sure not to fill up on all the sides. After all, you're here for the meat selection, not the salad and fries. The meat itself was very good. I enjoyed the filet mignon and sirloin steak. Unlike Texas de Brazil, the meat isn't smothered in salt and spices. This meant I could eat more meat and enjoy the taste without becoming overwhelmed by the spices. The gauchos also brought around grilled pineapple with cinnamon and fried cheese with honey, neither of which is offered at Texas de Brazil. The pineapple was a great palette cleanser between rounds of meat. They also have shrimp and salmon, but we didn't have any of these. Since we were seated in a less crowded section, the gauchos were usually pretty quick to stop by. Though at one point, head gaucho came over almost in in a panic asking if we needed anything or if anyone had stopped by. We said we were taking a little break and we didn't mind waiting. Though we asked for some more sirloin steak and pineapple and those gauchos came by a minute later. So the bottom line is: I recommend coming to eat here instead of Texas de Brazil. It's only a few minutes drive away and outside of the touristy area. read more

Staff - particularly the Manager were all on point. Salad Bar was as fresh as can be and the selection of meats was tremendous and delicious. Tremendous respect for providing us with a "No Pork Coin" - I was really taken back by that. Overall - It was a tremendously enjoyable night for Andrea and I. We left stuffed! Everything - Including the dessert was delicious. We will definitely be returning. Plenty of parking, however - I believe we came by Uber - which made things even that more convenient. A+ We were incredibly impressed of the impeccable level of service by our waiter and how management took a considerable interest in ensuring our comfort and happiness. Very comfortable seating as well! We were treated like royalty! We highly reccomend! read more

Maybe the best dining experience in my life. The building is very impressive as you approach-- one wall is all glass window. Beautiful inside-- quite upscale. We started with the salad bar which had some not so common items. Go lightly at the salad bar so you can sample the wide selection of grilled on the skewer meats. I love steak and filled up mostly on that. The highlight was grilled pineapple on the skewer. So delicious Very friendly staff. There was also some unexpected live very light background music. We were there a little over an hour, non- stop eating. I highly recommend. read more

Enjoy an endless rodizio of perfectly cooked meats. With an array of options at their gourmet salad bar and your favorite Brazilian appetizers. A must order: the Brazilian Pudim (the flan), it is the creamiest most delicious one you'll ever have. Everything is delicious!! But it's a little pricey compared to others. ' read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excellent experience, upscale while not being oppressive. Fast and efficient service.

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

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

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

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
