Stepping into this restaurant is like entering a world where culinary dreams come to life. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere that’s equal parts elegance and warmth. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the beautifully set tables to the subtle, inviting lighting that makes you feel both special and at ease. The menu is a masterpiece. Each dish is a symphony of flavors, meticulously crafted and presented with artistic flair. Every bite feels like a celebration of the chef’s passion and skill. What sets them apart, though, is its people. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable yet approachable. Their genuine enthusiasm for the menu and commitment to creating a memorable experience shines through every interaction.

Loved the location and have been 3 times. Wide assortment of chicken and steak dishes with a Portuguese flair and a very stylish modern dining atmosphere. Everything down to the music and dinnerware was fantastic. Meals are generous portioned. Had the Honey Blue Cheese chicken sandwich. You can tell they take pride in the details. Fries, soups, salads all good. Only small complaint is the water good use a Brita filter.

Visited on Saturday evening. Made a reservation prior to our visit there. A good idea if you plan in attending this restaurant on a weekend. We traveled an hour to attend this restaurant with friends. Casual dress is definitely ok here. Servers are always busy, and they employ enough staff to serve. We had wine 🍷 and all ordered delicious meals. This restaurant is one of our top places to attend. Thank you for a great meal.

I had probably the best steak I ve ever had. It was nicely topped with blue cheese and a smoked tomato chutney. Cooked medium, spot on. Waitress was able to suggest an excellent wine pairing. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the city.

Friends came to town and we chose this restaurant mainly because it was Portuguese and looked posh. I went a month before to check it out first and that was the clincher. The food was authentic and delicious. I had the lupini beans and the chicken dinner. So good. The wine selection is top shelf if you want it to be. You have choices which is refreshing. So when my friends came to town I took them to dinner. The staff treated us like rock stars. They made our night truly amazing. So this time I had the lamb ... Superb... Recommend this restaurant. And the red pepper dip !!! My friends raved about Chatham having a good time and said they loved the restaurant. They were in Portugal over the summer and it reminded them fondly of Portugal.

My wife have dined here 2 to 3 times before today and enjoyed it immensely.Service today was excellent but unfortunately my meal was below par. The chicken was over cooked and dry .The ribs appeared reheated. Maybe dining at 4pm was not a good idea. I havent scratched Churrascaria off my list but it will take some time together over that visit.

Wouldnt know the taste of the food because I had the door shut in my face walking in at 8 pm when the business advertised open till 9 pm . Was. Fully willing to spend great money to dine there but if you turn away customer early then the public should be made aware and hold you accountable for your actions in this review. If you close at 8 and not 9 let the public know your true hours of operation on a Saturday night.

Churrascaria Steakjouse & Takeout is a fabulous, family-owned Portuguese restaurant in the Chatham, Canada area! Our family was made to feel welcome and right at home during our dining experience. Lovely atmosphere for the family, or a date-night out with someone special! Group parties and events would be terrific to host here- chic and hip, yet classy, with a nod to Portuguese culture. The food is spectacular! Excellent Portuguese dishes to choose from, and delicious wine selection. Owners and staff are top-notch! They go above and beyond to make your dining experience wonderful. (Thank you - it was lovely meeting you!) We will be back!

There are not enough superlatives for this place! I have high expectations when I go here based on past experiences, and they always exceed them! My only recommendation would be for them to be open whenever I am driving through the area. Just kidding. Take off the time. You deserve it! Such a great dining experience every time! On my last visit I had the salmon bowl to me. it was fantastic! The only thing better than the food is the exemplary service! Vegetarian options: I am technically a pescatarian which allows me to enjoy the excellent fish and chips and the salmon dishes. Either option is incredible and recommended!

Do yourselves a favor and get an already roasted chicken from sobeys. Its 100 times better and not reheated.

I had no expectations when I impulsively went into Churrascaria Steakhouse, looking for lunch with some colleagues before driving back to Toronto. It was busy, though, which made me curious about it. Two of us had club sandwiches and one guy had the Portuguese chicken. Can a club sandwich change your life? Maybe. First of all, the portion sizes are generous, but thats really only appreciated if the food is good - and the food was fantastic. Our colleague from the UK couldnt believe the size of the side salad, or the sandwich, or the presentation of the dishes. The prices were reasonable, too - about $20 per person for A LOT of good food. Well done. If youre there, do not be afraid to go into this place.

Firstly, the restaurant had a great atmosphere. The appetizer was delicious, we had the prosciutto flat bread. We noticed that all the tables around us were being served fresh buns and butter, we were not given or offered any, not sure if that was something that had to be asked for, but we didnt notice it on the menu. We came from Windsor to try it as we had heard good things and checked out the menu and reviews prior to coming. I already was set on getting the lobster and steak as I had seen the photo online and thought it looked delicious. I also looked over the menu prior to coming and that sounded great to me. The menu online stated it was a 3 ounce lobster tail with a New York steak. I was surprised to see a half a lobster arrive as my meal rather than the 3 ounce lobster tail I expected. My dining partner order the rack of ribs and the 6 ounce chicken, when the meal arrived my dining partner noticed a very long piece of hair on the ribs. We waited for the waitress to come back and showed her and she apologized and took the plate back to the kitchen saying another would be made. A few minutes later the new plate arrived, she said that the hair was a hair that had fallen off of the basting brush. I have never seen a basting brush with foot long bristles that curl but either way new ribs were provided. The chicken said it would be a 6 ounce piece of chicken. The chicken looked about 3 ounces and was very dry and thin. A small bite was tried and found to be too dry for their liking. However the ribs were fall off the bone delicious. Back to my meal...the presentation was beautiful, but it being a half lobster rather than just a lobster tail threw me off. I wasnt sure if I should complain as I already felt sending back the ribs was enough of a complaint. But seeing how my meal was $64 on its own (I got my steak with goat cheese) I double checked the menu to make sure I wasnt expecting a 3 ounce lobster tail when it could have said something else. I double checked and it did in fact state 3 ounce lobster tail so I decided to say something. As the sight of seeing lobster eggs and having the brush them off of my lobster to eat it, (when I tried it as soon as it was bright to my table and brushing the eggs away it was cold, the green guck next to the eggs, the eggs and the lobster being cold completely made me loose my appetite. The steak was ok. I have had better in that aspect as well. I was still hungry as I did not want to eat my meal after the lobster being so unappetizing that I ordered a crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was delicious. When I said something to the waitress I told the her we had came from Windsor to try it. I had been expecting a lobster tail. She advised that the in restaurant menu states 1/2 lobster and brought me over the menu to show me. That they had changed it but had not yet changed the online menu. I explained my choice was made prior to coming as I reviewed the menu in advance as I always like to make sure a place has something I like before I drive an hour to eat there. She apologized for the confusion and gave us the 2 drinks we had free. She said if we wanted to speak with the manager we could call on Tuesday when the manager would be in. I have to say I was quite disappointed in the overall experience. To give only 2 drinks free when finding a hair in one meal and false advertising on the other meal was far from satisfying. We could have stayed in Windsor and ate at red lobster and had a more satisfying experience. I wish we had as I feel the gas and time wasted for such a terrible experience was far from worth it. I wish I had better things to say. My hopes were high and I was very excited to try it out for myself seeing such rave reviews. Along with the awards the restaurant has had in the past.

Being of Portuguese heritage, my wife and I decided to look for a Portuguese restaurant to eat at. Someone recommended this place and we thought we would try it. The food was great and the atmosphere was as well. However, I was expecting to have some traditional Portuguese meals available. To my disappointment I found that the food served was more canadian flared than anything else. Don t get me wrong, the food was amazing but not to traditional Portuguese cooking. Still a great meal nonetheless

Been coming here for several years and have recommended to many. One of our favourite places til tonight. Had reservations for 5pm right when they open. Both bathrooms no soap. Off to great start. Took forever to finally order. Everyone around us seated after us seemed to be tended to but we sit and continue to wait. Ok no big deal but then finally ordered our meals, my entre came with baked potatoe but i asked for loaded, which i always do. Bill came with a full $7 charge for my loaded baked which is on the sides list with a $7 charge. Fine when its an extra add on but not when baked comes with my meal and have to pay price of complete full add on. Couple bucks ok but 7 for a teaspoon of sour cream and 3 bacon bits. Kinda ridiculous petty price gouging if you ask me. Drove 45 minutes for disappointment all around. Afraid this is the last time. Seems to be going down hill and will definitely stop recommending as well. Its the nickel and dime pettiness that s really upsetting and subpar service to top it off.

New to Chatham & this was the first restaurant here that we ve tried. Went for late lunch. Had messy fish sandwich, Churrasco Club & Portuguese Burger. Everything was delicious. Sandwiches were so big had to take half home. Fries were some of the best I ve ever had. Caesar salad was unique & tasty. Presentation was lovely & the restaurant itself was beautiful. Prices were fair. Waitress was very nice & friendly. Definitely be back:) About a week or 2 later got takeout. Pasta for 2 (linguine, rose sauce, chicken, mushrooms) comes with garden salad, & garlic parm rolls. Pasta can easily feed 4. Rolls were soooo good! Everything was. Absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere was classy, but loud. The service was 5 *. The food was expensive and mediochre at best. Bland is the word for this restaurant. Well prepared food, nice presentation but bland. Unfortunately I was glad to be finished and wasnt wishing for more. I had seafood tacos with fries and garden salad. Barely any dressing on salad and what was there was watery. Fries were undercooked, Seafood tacos were flavourless with a watery sauce of some kind. I had a Coke with it and it cost $50! Was not worth the money. I dont recommend Churrascaria, and wont be returning.

The food and service was amazing. I had the Special for the day: a brisket sandwich made on beautifully fresh crusty bread with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, a tasty sauce and so much more. The salad served with it was beautifully fresh and delightfully presented with sweet potato chips know top. Absolutely one of the best meals I have ever had!!!

Amazing! The salads were HUGE! Veggies were crisp and fresh with home made dressing. Everyone loved their steaks. Could not be happier with our experience here. The only thing better than the food was the service! I wish we lived locally so we eat here every night

I cant say enough good things about Churrascaria. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is amazing and the service... wow. Our server Claudia took amazing care of my table with perfect recommendations on every course and the wine to go with it. We came there without reservations and yet we were treated like the restaurant had been preparing for our visit for months in advance. Her intuition - always coming by just when we needed her - made the experience of eating there very memorable. Between her service and the amazing menu (there are well-thought-out dishes for every diet), it turned a random Thursday night out into a very special evening. Thanks so much to Claudia and the rest of the staff at Churrascaria. Im already looking forward to my next visit.

We just ate here (sept 9) for the first time and it is hands down the best restaurant Ive ever been. I ordered the seafood rice and it was enough food to feed me for a week. They did not cheap out on the seafood. My boyfriend got the special which had soup that was to die for and the most perfect steak. Everything is make in house and the meat is dry aged in from of the building for you to see. I will be returning with everyone I know!!!

We ve had take out from here several times. The food is good, the service I m not so sure! Went there on Saturday and was late for a reservation. It was our fault for being late, but the reception was rather cold and inappropriate. We were told that our reservation was null and void since we had arrived late. We asked if we could come in later or wait and we re told point blank we d be last on the list. We went elsewhere. It is a pity because we had a friend from South Africa and it was her birthday. The lady could have handled the situation better or at least made a bit of an effort, instead of literally throwing us out of the restaurant.

Awesome spot. Theres so much to say about this Churrascaria. My fiance and I come from Toronto where Portuguese food was a main stay. When I say we come from downtown with Portuguese food I mean like Dufferin and Bloor.(so authentic home cooking and Churrascaria) Authentic authentic food and this stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the fine dining experiences weve had in Toronto. Melanie, was terrific. Like, amazing. Not only did she care to or table efficiently and check in a lot she made us feel super super comfortable about our move to Chatham. She gave us some cool spots to check out and just a pleasant conversation that we had seemed to miss since moving to Chatham. 5 stars for Melanie alone. The food, unreal. That menu is loaded with things that just look phenomenal. Try whatever you can and go back to try some more. We will be back plentyyyyy. Weve had some recommendations of must try spots since weve been over this way and Ill be brutally honest, this is the only one thats not only lived up to the recommendation but FARRRRRR exceeded it. Congratulations on an amazing establishment team. Well be back for, lunch, dinner and take out. *chefs kiss*

This is probably one of my favorite places to take my wife for special occasions. Beautiful/serine atmosphere with affordable prices. The part that makes this restaurant a gem is the chocken/rib family dinners which are affordable and always taste great. You can also order to go. There website us user friendly. The construction out front of this business is even more of a reason to support this locally owned and operated restaurant. Unfortunately I have seen business struggle in the past because of this. Im not sure if that is happening but support local none the less. I promise you, if you decide to go here for lunch or supper you will be amazed. My go to for or showing my gratitude to people whom have helped me with projects are gift cards from this restaurant. Parking: More parking around the back

Went tonight as this place was highly recommended but was surprisingly disappointed. The menu was mostly NY strip and only had two other cuts, including the special. At least seven different menu items that were all the same NY steak. I prefer sirloin but that wasnt an option so I got the ribeye and lobster special. The special was $54 and included a salad but we had to pay extra for a caesar. The salad had been dressed beforehand so it came out quick but was very soggy. Flavour was good but texture was horrible. We ordered two medium steaks and got one med well and the other rare. Steaks were full of gristle and difficult to cut. The lobster and sides were delicious and very generous. The inside was clean and looked very nice but the AC was off and I was dripping sweat most of the night. Couldnt ask my server for another cold drink or to turn the AC on because she had a huge section elsewhere and didnt come back the entire meal. While it wasnt HORRIBLE, I expected a lot more based on the good feedback Ive heard and the very high prices. This was only $20 cheaper than the best and most expensive meal Ive ever had and this didnt come close. I might try again just to see if it was a bad day but if its the same experience, defintely not worth it.
