"I would love to say that I prefer Samba over Texas de Brazil, but I just can’t. I will always favor and spend my money with snall business over the chains when all is equal. Sadly, this dining experience did not sway me to choose Samba over TdB, even though it is closer, more convenient, and less expensive. Our server came to our table once. And it took her 10 minutes to come over after we sat down. I believe we were her only table at the time. The gauchos were amazing, kept meat on our plates and our water cups full. Our server never checked on us and we waited for a bill for 15 minutes after our table was cleared before we asked a gaucho to have our bill brought to us. It was an early Friday night 5pm reservation and there were no more than 6 other tables. It was far from busy. I told my husband that I wish we could just tip the gauchos directly, because I’m not sure why we were tipping our server. They were the ones who deserved the tip . We did tip her a full gratuity, only because I assume that she tips out the gauchos, who earned every penny of their cut. The was nothing at alll wrong with the food, it just didn’t have as much flavor as TdB. Meat was cooked and served at the perfect temperature for a churrascaria. We will try it again and give it a second chance, because I don’t think you should ever try a restaurant only once, but if the same, we will continue to dine in Schaumburg at TdB."

Food was great, fresh, great presentation. Forgot my credit card there and they called me right away and let me know they had it.

My son had a great experience at this restaurant for his first time. If there was a fish or seafood option, I would have added it to my order along with the meat.

Food was excellent. Service wasn’t the best, server forgot some drinks, when the green was showing it took awhile for someone to show and it wasn’t full in the restaurant. View menu

No body informed us of the 20% gratuities on parties of any size. We had three couples that each paid per couple and we all were charged 20%. I tip well for good service but our waitress didn’t even check in on us during our dining time. The water boy did and so did the gauchos. Our waitress did not deserve a $60+ dollar tip for the service she provided for us. That would be my main complaint and concern.

Salad bar was good, many selections. There we 8 types of meat and only a few were good. The rest were overdone and some stringy and fatty. Our server was wonderful. I was expecting more of an experience. The website stated that they have live music on Friday evenings. I asked our server about it and he said they haven 't had live music here for years. Because of the price and the quality of meat we will probably not eat here again.
