Diner Reviews
  • "We were celebrating a birthday, overall experience was nice. We had a few occasions where we were offered meat however our chips were turned to "no". Had some trouble in getting the proper temperature of beef however staff saw that it was taken care of quickly. I would recommend this venue for large groups, no ordering off menu and service begins fairly quickly after seated."

  • "My wife and I have decided to give new restaurants a shot in every price point. It was an intriguing idea, but the quality of the meat choices was fair, and the side dishes were lacking a certain special quality that one normally expects at this price point. The cuts all seemed similar in preparation and taste. The quality of the cuts seemed fair as well. Even the filet did not hit the mark of tenderness - and I truly like my filet rare and tender. While this place was interesting because they bring the cuts of meet to the table on skewers, it simply did not measure up the the quality one expects. Novelty does not equal quality."

  • "If you are a meat lover you have to eat here to get your fill. Expensive, but worth it."

  • "Chima has become one of my favorite restaurants. I've gone 4 times this year already and each experience has been wonderful. Excellent food, attentive wait staff and great company makes for an awesome experience. I love the top sirloin, flank steak, garlic steak and Parmesan pork."

  • "I decided to take my fiance here for her birthday. This was both our first time, an it was amazing. We heared from friends it was pricey but delicious. At first when we got our meat offered to us, I was confused because they only dropped one piece of chicken off. Before I finished that one piece my plate was filled with all types of meat before the chicken hit my stomach. The ribs, parmasean porkchops,chicken wrapped in bacon where my favorites. I would definitely come again, but going to have to save up because this is a hit on the pockets but wortb the hit. Who knows my birthday is coming up maybe she'll treat me."

  • "This was the first time I'd ever eaten here. I took my husband for his birthday. We also had our children with us. The food was amazing! The food selection isn't really kid-friendly, but we did find a few things that they would eat. As for Hubby and I, we very much enjoyed Chima. It's pricey, but worth it for rare treat. I wouldn't be able to go for a random date night because of the cost but definitely for a special occasion. I have already recommended Chima to several friends. And I intend to go again!"

  • "We really enjoyed ourselves! It was very romantic and fun. The food was awesome, the ambiance was better than expected"
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "You don't clean up your restaurant or remove the food from the salad bar when your customers are still eating. That's like telling your customers WE WANT YOU TO LEAVE! This was a disappointment. The service in general was good, except when you do something like this. . I think that was rude and inappropriate, especially in a restaurant like Chima."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "The meal was great and the service was better. The meat could have had more seasoning."
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "After Rock of Ages performance we walked down to Chima. The smell from outside was alluring. The meat was amazing! You have to try everything and we did. I was so full but I didn't want to stop. I can't wait to go back."

  • "great salad bar, best soup around, most of the meats are awesome. great assortment. very good serevice"
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "Great food with excellent service. Typical pricing for a Brazil steakhouse. Kids under 10 get a price break but a good chance for them to try different types of food they would not normally eat."
    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "It was my husband and I first time dining at Chimas. The atmosphere,service and food was excellent. We will definitely go back in the near future."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Went on a week night, a slow night for this city, and the service was not up to par. Also, the request for table seating on the reservation was not honored, even though the restaurant was only half full. We wanted a table by the wall and instead, we were seated in the middle of the restaurant. Some of the usual food also did not taste as good as previous visits."
    Dined on 2/24/2014
  • "I'd never eaten at a Brazilian Steakhouse prior to having dinner at Chima. The salad bar was delicious and included lots of meats and cheeses that were fresh and tasty. The meats I ate from the Rodizio were fantastic, especially the Filet Mignon and the Top Sirloin. We were there for my father's birthday, and I assume since they saw birthday cards by his plate, brought out a piece of yummy strawberry cheesecake and took a group photo. On the way out, we received the photo printed out in an envelope. All this without even mentioning to our server that we were celebrating a special occasion. Wonderful experience and I left painfully full (but it was worth it!)"
    Dined on 2/24/2014
  • "I took my husband here for his birthday. He absolutely loved it. Food was fresh, hot, cooked just the way we wanted it. There is a large variety of meat. I only wish there were more hot vegetables available. Nevertheless, overall this is a great restaurant."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Wonderful first time experience! The service was OUTSTANDING! Most of the meats of which were served were very tastey, minus (in my opinion) the Filet...bland. The drinks were strong (perfect)! The cost was roughly $52.50 per plate, but that was expected. I have been to a similar establishment in Washington, D.C. so I was aware that the meal was going to be expensive. All in all, I WILL be going back to Chima! It was a must needed change in the normal routine of dining experiences. Everyone should enjoy it at least once!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "While visiting Charlotte I decided to take my partner here for his birthday, and we both agree this was a great choice. Although it's a pricy venue, it was absolutely perfect for the special occasion."
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "My husband and I live in Advance, NC. Every so often, though, we travel to Charlotte to have dinner and catch a show. Our restaurant of choice is Chima. We've never had a bad meal and the service is always above and beyond excellent! Dining at Chima is a real treat."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Food was excellent just as before. The servers came around less often with certain cuts like filet mignon even though we requested it. They came around with the sausage the most. I would also like to see a better selection of sides offered instead of the same 4 things each visit! I would return even still."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Chima is a typical Brazilian steakhouse where gauchos come around to your table and offer you freshly prepared meats ranging from beef to chicken to pork to fish to lamb. I tried small portions of most of the meat offered but never once saw fish. The beef was excellent as was the parmesan pork. Seasoning was to my liking. The salad bar had typical and more interesting offerings. Small side dishes were brought for the table and we loved the bread (pan de queso) and fried bananas. I had a Malbec blend wine which was good. Service was attentive and friendly."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Don't go if you aren't someone, otherwise you will be ignored."

  • "We enjoyed our time at Chima. Plenty of food and great atmosphere. Everyone should experience it at least once."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "We celebrated my husband's recent promotion and it was a perfect atmosphere. Great salad bar and great opportunity to try a variety of meats. So delicious!"
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Chima was recommend to my husband and I by a coworker who absolutely LOVES it! This was our 1st dinning experience here and it was amazing! The food was excellent, the atmosphere Was great, and our server (Brandy) was a complete joy! We are having out of town guest next month and we will definitely be eating at Chima again."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "I was very disappointed that i brought a client that plays for the Carolina Panthers and his first time being there and the service was HORRIBLE."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "Lots of good meats that don't stop coming. If you don't see what you want on the first pass just wait it will come around."
    Dined on 2/17/2014
  • "Didn't take long to get stuffed! The food just kept coming and coming. The meats were cooked to perfection and were delicious. We enjoyed to unique sides as well. We highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something different."

    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "My wife and I had a favorite Brazilian-style steakhouse back in Utah, and Chima exceeded our expectations. The meats were superb, the salad bar was exotic, and the service was impeccable. It's a little on the pricy side, but it is a wonderful place to dine for a special occasion."
    Dined on 2/17/2014
  • "I took my boyfriend here for a fun birthday dinner and he loved it! The food was spectacular and the service was amazing as well. We visited during restaurant week so it was less expensive than normal, but I would definitely go back again for full-price!"
    Dined on 1/27/2014
  • "I am sad to say I regretted going to Chima. We had reservations abut had to wait to be seated. When the hostess approached us, she was a bit snotty, looking at us up and down, especially when we said we had come from WV. It might just be me, but a restaurant needs for a hostess to be super friendly and put the customers at ease...not for them to feel self conscious. I was also bummed out, being Brazilian, that there were no Brazilians in sight! Every Brazilian restaurant I've been to had Brazilian waitressing staff...not in this case. The buffet spread was much like any other Brazilian Rodizio steakhouse, but it didn't take as good as others I've been to, such as Fogo de Chao...maybe it was just the bad taste the hostess left in my mouth."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The food was good, well displayed at the Salad Bar. The service of meat to the table was Fair to Good, a lot of the same meats were being offered instead of the variety that was supposed to be available. We had to ask for specific servers to come to our table. That should not have happened. Again, it was fair to good, but not anything I would brag about to my friends or co-workers."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The meat was bland especially considering the price"
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "This was our first experience and expected it to be a lot nicer. The service was good and the salad bar was good, but the quality of meat for the rodizio was not really worth it. We also expected the ambiance to be a lot nicer than it was. Our table was right near the rest room and other patrons were wearing tee shirts and hats. I expected people to dress up for a $150 meal. I got only the salad bar and that was still very expensive, although you were able to eat the seafood (but that only came around once our entire meal). Overall, it was a disappointing experience and we will not be going back. Too much money for not enough quality."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The environment was great. Service was fantastic. The servers were very energetic, never missed a bit. The food was to die for. Great location and excellent view. I would recommend Chima restaurant by far. Make sure you come with a big appetite so you can eat 'till you drop."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Everything was excellent, it would be nice to get coupons and or specials some time to attract more folks LOL"
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "I loved the service and the food. The fact that people fold your napkins after you leave the table and offer you a new plate every time your plate looks full is just mind blowing. Love it! The different accents of the chefs walking around brought a genuine feel to the restaurant. I was not ID when ordering a drink which I personally really liked because it is bothersome when having to mess with my purse and wallet while trying to enjoy an intimate meal."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!! YOU WOULD THINK FOR THE $$$$ THAT YOU SPEND DINING, THEY WOULD VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS A LOT MORE. EVEN MCDONALDS WOULD TREAT YOU BETTER...HOWEVER, THE SALAD BAR WAS GREAT."
