Diner Reviews
  • "The food and service here is always outstanding. This place is one of our favorites!"
    Dined on 7/29/2014
  • "Although they charged us full price we used a coupon from chimas web site for 20.00 off"
    Dined on 7/29/2014
  • "We have been to Chima many times and love it. The food is fantastic and service is typically attentive and wonderful. We go with groups of friends or for business dinners and are never disappointed. I think with restaurant week they were overwhelmed and therefore service suffered and they were out of some items. But, I would still high recommend Chima as I know this was an unusual visit. Definitely try all of the cuts of meat and don't skip the fish. It is excellent."
    Dined on 7/28/2014
  • "Eating here is more of an experience. Trying all the different meats was fun. The salad bar was interesting. It was not your typical lettuce and toppings. We had a great time, but probably wouldn't go back for a while. It's more of a one time thing because of the experience and the cost."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "The food is wonderful and the choices are varied, but it was the service that truly stood out. Really pleased with our experience."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "This was a little different from what I am used to, but it was not bad at all! The salad bar was a little too exotic for my tasting, but the 8 different meat selections were such a delight. All the meat was prepared well and very tasteful! Considering this being a Brazilian steakhouse it was a great experience with a great atmosphere!"
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "This was our first time at Chima.We enjoyed it very much but would probably not go back any time soon.The food was excellent and plentiful; the all-you-can-eat salad bar was like no other salad bar we had ever seen.It had literally everything from soup to nuts. Every single item was fresh and delicious. The meats were wonderful with our favorite being the parmesan crusted pork. With that being said, it is much too loud. It's a fun restaurant but it was hard to talk to each.If you are looking for a nice, quiet peaceful dinner this is not the restaurant for you. We did have a few concerns but our waiter dealt with them quickly and to our satisfaction.I would not go to this type of restaurant more than once a year."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "I visit Chima's often and have always loved it. However, I decided to visit during Queen's Feast and it appears since they were offering the meal at a much lesser price, the quality of meats seemed to match. The ribs and lamb were not in its normal abundance."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "Went to chima over the weekend and I must say from the moment we walked the courteous staff was amazing. The food was awesome and I walked out stuffed. This is a great addition to charlotte. Love the rodizio style serving!!"
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "Not happy about the extra charge for the full selection of meats"
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "I have been to Chima's several times. I would rate my last experience as average. We were seated upstairs and it was uncomfortably hot during the entire dining experience. In addition, the lamb chops which are my favorite was only average. Not as delicious as I remembered. Not sure if this was because it was during restaurant week but I was somewhat disappointed but willing to give them another try."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "I have absolutely no complaints about the my experience at Chima. My parents raved about a Brazilian restaurant that they visited while on vacation so I thought that it would be a great idea to take them to Chima. They're already planning a trip back down to visit! The food, service, and ambience were all outstanding. Thank you for such a great experience. This is the way that dining should be."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "Enjoyed the experience behind the whole meat to the table concept."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "Customer service was great from wait staff. After explaining our first time they explained to us the menu, how to received carved meat and about salad bar. We were visiting Charlotte and someone recommened this restaurant. I enjoyed the experience and the salad bar was great. Maybe because our reservation was at 8:45 that it seemed that meat selections were the same items not the variety we paid for. Our waiter did let the staff know we were requesting salmon;however, only swordfish was left we he came to our table. Unfortunate since he pasted our tables to go to the front of restuarant first. I only saw the fish item once. My husband never received the salmon. The meat was okay, I guess my expectations on taste were greater."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "I heard so many good things about this place, but it was such a dissapointment. The wait even with a reservation was sorta long, we weren't offred the wines that were are on promotion for the night. The servers lacked in bringing the food around and instead of bring more bread like we asked they brought other items all together. It was a place that I can I've tried but will not eat at again, and when I saw my bill was a little upset about. If I was going with a group of people and they suggested this resturant I would try for a different place or meet up with them at a different time."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "It was great but would not want to pay regular price."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "This is our fourth visit. It is the first time we sat upstairs in a the far right corner. At first I was not happy with the seat but after being there a few minutes I realized it was a great location. We were able to hear ourselves and have almost what felt like a private meal."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "The food is always amazing but service can make or break a place. Our server (Lander??) was just not on his game at all. He never smiled- not once. He just seemed preoccupied and it was just a blah experience in regards to the service. It took me over 20 minutes to get sausage to our table. I had to ask 3 people."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "Overall great experience. Food was excellent and service was great. Restaurant was very loud though due to restaurant week in Charlotte."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "Chima's was a great experience. We arrived 1/2 hour ahead of our reservation. The Hostess seated us at least 15 minutes ahead of our reservation. The waiter came over, explained the serving choices, the way food is served in a Brazilian dining establishment, what was on the salad bar, and then took our drink orders. We were kept topped off on tea. Water glasses never were allowed below the half empty level. Food was excellent and plentiful. It had a unique combination of spices and cooking time. It was flavorful, what was supposed to be spicy was, what was mild was just right. This is a restaurant that is casual PRESENTABLE dress. Wait staff was excellent, always on top of everything without being overcrowding. A fine experience."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "If you love meat then this restaurant is for you! Personally I'm not a huge meat person. Sure I love my 6 ounces of filet occasionally, but a whole meal of meat really isn't for me."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "Everyone was so helpful and the food was fantastic. Probably one of the best restaurants I have been to in charlotte."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "I've to Chima several times & this is the 1st time this happened. We invited a friend her 1st time, she ordered A bottle of wine for the table, the wine was served, no problem, but what I didn't like, the waiter kept bringing & opening bottles without asking her if she wanted another bottle. Finally I noticed what he was doing & told him please NO MORE wine. It was a party of 9, everyone was talking/laughing & having a good time and wasnt noticing what was going on, but I did. And the same thing happened with the filtered bottle water and only 1 person ordered this. When we mentioned this the waiters/servers act like they couldnt hear or didnt understand what we were saying. I felt like we were being hustled. Bad impression for me."

  • "Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my husband. Elegant evening with wonderful food."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "decided to go with the full selection and im VERY happy that i did! all the beef cuts were amazing, fish was perfect, and the lamb chops were some of my favorite ever"
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "We eat there during restaurant week and also during the year. My husband loves meat so this is right up his alley! Great service, great food...it's a win/win. Thanks for being a feature Queen Feast restaurant."
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "The food was good but the service was not. I know it is Restaurant Week and very busy, by now Chimaz should expect the craziness after spending years doing restaurant week. We had to ask 3 times for lamb, they never provided BBQ ribs, and all they kept bringing was chicken. The menu stated they had about 8 different meats available but about 80% of the time they only offered us chicken. I don't think I will be going back because it's not worth the money."
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "I love Chimas..and I go during restaurant week in addition to other occasions several times a year. This time the chicken was very dry!.. I tried it twice just in case I got a bad batch. Also the waiters forgot to bring food to the table I had to ask.. The whipped potatoes and one other side"
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "No other restaurant has such consistently good food, every dish, whether it is a meat carved at your table or the varied salad bar. We love it, especially during restaurant weeks. However, it is so very noisy that conversation is all but impossible. We wish they would give some attention to sound attenuation; it would make them much more appealing and higher quality… and then qualify them too on the list above as "romantic"!"
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "the food was just ok been to better maybe it was because it was a specials night and they were cooking to fast"
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "Always great beef. Side bar is amazing. Excellent service."
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "My husband and I dined with our friends for Charlotte's Restaraunt week at Chima's. The food was absolutely delicious. The buffet style vegetable/cheese bar had delicious options.... and the steak was delicious. Mouth watering dinner for sure! Our server Nick was very friendly and all smiles. Overall a wonderful dining experience."
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "Unfortunately, not realizing it, I chose Restaurant Week to take my daughter and husband to Chimas. Poor timing. The waitstaff was so incredibly busy, we had to ask twice for them to bring out fish, and twice for them to bring out filet mignon. The sausage and chicken was free-flowing. When the fish and filet finally came out they were all overcooked. We also had to ask two times for water refills. While the salad bar was probably one of the finest I've seen, the meal pricing was far overpriced for a person to only enjoy the salad bar. Most disgusting was that guests were not offered fresh plates after they finished their salads. I specifically asked for a fresh plate and the waitstaff looked at me strangely. Décor lovely."
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "Everything was awesome! Great service, Great food, overall a great experience. Must come back again!"
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "The staff was great, but the food was just so so. From the boring and bland salad bar and runny mashed potatoes to the overly salty and no taste meats, this will sadly be our last dining experience at Chima. Great service with so so food is not worth the high priced ticket."
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "From the moment I entered until I left it was a fantastic experience. The food was well prepared and the staff was amazing attentive without being overly obtrusive. I can't say enough about the service."
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "I have never been to such an outstanding restaurant. Everything was outstanding, especially the food and the amount that you can get for the price. The service was very friendly, kind and makes sure that you have everything you want if not more."
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "I overall really enjoyed our night at Chima's, but the greeters are very rude and inconsiderate. I was taking my 75 year old grandparents out to celebrate and valet parking was not yet available so my husband had to find parking. There were 6 in my party and 5 of us where there. My husband was the 6th person and was trying to find parking in a very crowded area. They refused to seat us until he came in. They could see that the restaurant was crowded and there was no where for my grandparents to sit and they still made them stand in the lobby waiting. The greeters talk to you like you are beneath them and are overall just RUDE.Once we made it past them things were better. My waiter "Joseph" was one of the best ever and the food was great!"
