Chama Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse is a Brazilian rodízio restaurant at 5865 Westheimer Road in Houston, positioned in the Galleria/Westheimer dining corridor. Its full churrasco experience is served at one set per-person price: gauchos circulate through the dining room and carve unlimited USDA Prime meats tableside, while the meal also includes a gourmet salad bar and traditional Brazilian side dishes. The Houston restaurant is suited to reservations, celebrations, business dinners and private events as well as regular lunch or dinner.
The menu centers on tableside-carved cuts such as picanha, filet mignon, fraldinha, ribeye, lamb, linguica, pork, beef ribs and chicken. Chama Gaúcha says its beef is Midwest USDA Prime, corn-fed and aged for more than 45 days. Diners use the rodízio card system to signal whether they would like more service or a pause. The salad bar has more than 30 options, including seasonal vegetables, imported Spanish and Italian cheeses, charcuterie and Brazilian accompaniments; sides include pão de queijo, fried polenta, caramelized bananas and garlic mashed potatoes. Dessert choices listed by the restaurant include Brazilian flan, key lime pie, chocolate temptation, crème brûlée and papaya cream.
For practical planning, the official Houston page lists lunch Monday through Friday and dinner service every day, with dinner pricing applicable all day on weekends. The restaurant lists a $52.95 lunch full experience and a $69.95 dinner full experience, while noting that pricing can vary for holidays and special events. Located near the Galleria, River Oaks and Memorial areas, the Westheimer Road location has ample parking and offers private rooms for corporate dinners, family celebrations and group events. This record represents the active Houston restaurant, rather than the separately announced Katy location.
