Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse Maple Grove

The servers were so kind and respectful. The restaurant was clean except for a few fruit flies so make sure you’re eating all your food at the table!!! Cause the food is DELICIOUS, Garlic Parmesan steak, lamb, grilled pineapple. I had a wonderful time and there were a couple of birthdays happening today so they song a special song!! The in

I've been here several times; and I came recently with my son for my birthday. The service is prompt and friendly. The food is amazing, and I always love it. I usually skip the veggies and just stuff myself on meat, but I totally recommend at least grabbing a bite or two from the salad area, they always have a great selection as well. I had the caramel flan for dessert, so good!

I had a great experience at Rodizio Grill, a Brazilian steakhouse that absolutely delivers on flavor! The food was delicious from start to finish. I especially loved the grilled pineapple and the bacon-wrapped chicken — both were juicy and full of flavor. The glazed honey ham was also amazing — sweet, savory, and perfectly cooked. My absolute favorite, though, was the pineapple and ham rice! It was so unique and satisfying. The sweet cornbread muffins were a wonderful touch, and the BLT salad was fresh and delicious. Even though I forgot to make a reservation, the staff was incredibly friendly and we were seated quickly. The service overall was excellent — attentive and efficient without being overbearing. A big shoutout to their rewards program, too! I signed up and was able to eat for just $1 on my birthday with the purchase of a full-price adult entrée. Just be sure to follow the instructions: print the email and bring your ID. (It’s a little odd that they require a printed version since it’s emailed, but it’s worth it for the deal!) My only small critiques are the drink prices — $5 for a soda and $6 for a limeade crema felt a bit high. I also noticed the salad bar didn’t have much in terms of fresh fruit, just what looked like canned peaches. Overall, Rodizio Grill is a fantastic spot for a celebration or a hearty meal. The flavors, variety, and service make it well worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back!

One and only place for a Brazilian feast! From the meats to the service, everything was impeccable. Jessica provided excellent service and was always around to cater to any of our needs. Big shout out to all the gauchos for excellent service.

I was brought by my mom for a wonderful birthday dinner. The food was delicious. The atmosphere is amazing. Jessica , our server was very helpful with the experience. Would love to visit again.

The food was great! The Rodizio experience was awesome. The restaurant was quiet even though there were many people eating. They were fast on the grill meats with many choices to choose from. All were grilled to perfection. The salad bar is full of surprises. Sadly, I couldn't try them all since I went after the grill meat like a cheetah chasing its prey. I'd recommend the grilled lamb. It's perfection. All other cuts were great too, but I just happen to like the lamb slightly more. Full Rodizio experience is 49$/person salad bar included, water is free , and steak sauce is also free. The salad bar is 29$/person. All other drinks are paid per order.

Brunch at rodizio was so good! The servers were supper attentive and all the food was super flavorful, I’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely Delicious! A Meat Lover’s Paradise! The variety of meats served tableside was phenomenal — tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Each cut was better than the last, and the servers made sure we never had to wait long before the next delicious skewer arrived. The grilled pineapple was the perfect sweet touch to balance out all the savory goodness! The salad bar was also impressive, with fresh, high-quality options and unique side dishes that complemented the meats beautifully. The service was top-notch — attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re looking for a great dining experience that’s equal parts fun, flavorful, and filling, Rodizio Steakhouse is it. Come hungry — you’ll leave full and happy!

We have been so different Brazilian steakhouses and decided to try this one in maple grove. Let's just say great choice! First instead of coasters that has red on one side and green on the other side they use a two sided stand. There is one per table instead of a coaster per person. When you're done eating you put it on its side to say you're ready to get the check. Really nice. This restaurant is nice inside and feel brighter than fogo de chao or bolvino. Loved it. You don't automatically get the bread , mashed potatoes, polenta and banana at your table. Those are at the salad bar. I'm fine with that. The salad has different options than its competitors but very delicious. We were happy with the options. The meat itself was super good. They also have very delicious pineapples. This location also have chicken hearts which I like. Would totally recommend and I am looking forward to coming back.

First time visiting Rodizio, and I think it is better than Fogo De Chao in my opinion. The tables are less crawled and there are more room to go around to the salad bar. The price is much friendlier than Fogo, but the meat options are less. The servers are friendly. We did the full experience. The table has a red and green bricks and. once we flip the brick to green, the meat just kept on coming. All of the things we tried was very good. The meat are cooked in the good temperature and the seasoning is not over powering. The lamb was a little dry to my liking. We like the sauce to dip our meats in, I do wish the pineapple guy come more often tho. I wish to see more selection of meats. Will come back and see if there will be changes.

In a word-- boring. We last ate here probably 10 years ago, and the food has definitely gone downhill since then. We went on Father's Day as I had a birthday coupon for one free dinner which the waitress said she couldn't honor because they had a Father's Day dinner going. She then disappeared pretty much for the rest of our meal. The food-- well, the salad bar was a disaster... dried out, ordinary olives, so-so gourmet salads, and hardly any of the options they list on their menu were available. The prime rib was overcooked and dry, the lamb claimed it was marinated in mint and wine but there was no indication of that, the bacon wrapped chicken had no bacon flavor whatsoever, the grilled fish was overly soft and a bit fishy, the "spicy chicken" had no heat at all and tasted like it was coated in a store bought marinade, and the chimichurri steak (which should have been their specialty) had no taste at all. The one and only courses we could recommend would be the garlic chicken or the grilled pineapple. The noise level also didn't help at all as we could barely hear our waitress, and we often had to ask the gauchos two or three times what they were offering at the table.

My daughter wanted to get churrascaria so we stopped by this place as it has been on my list of places to try for a while. I love grilled meat and was excited to try this place as I had heard good things and they had good reviews. We got a reservation and were greeted and seated right away. The place was clean has a big dining area with an open arrangement. The server was over right away and explained how it works which is similar to every other place of this kind except they don't have individual signal for the meats but one for the table. The salad bar was on par with other establishments of this kind. The sides were actually buffet style on the salad bar as opposed to being brought to you table. I think that made the sides a little less fresh. Especially the bread. On to the meats. Overall the red meats that I had were a little on the well done side than medium. Not all were very flavorful. The standout were the picanha and the top sirloin. The chicken was tasty and moist. Overall, I was a little disappointed with the meats. The grilled pineapple was very good.

Stopped in for dinner the place was a ghost town. Was greeted then we waited 15 min to be seated and never were. Terrible Felt more like a burden than a customer.

All you can eat meat??! Sure sign me up (oh yeah and the salad bar is included too) I loved the variety of sauces and salsas that you can add to the food. The jalapeño and chimichurri were probably my favorite. Loved the polenta fries and pao de queijo and If you aren't feeling very adventurous the salad bar also had Mac and cheese and pot roast. I went before the dinner rush just as they had opened so it was nice and quiet. In the past there was a filled hand sanitizer dispenser at the front of the line. I missed that this time. I ordered the chocolate flan for dessert and while it was smaller than I expected the taste was really good! During the meal the manager came around asked how we were and if we needed anything. I always love when this happens. Shows they care about the customer experience

Both wife and I were not impressed. Many of the same meats came by often while others hardly made more than a round or two. Some meats tasted as though they weren't very fresh. Both wife and I got the runs and wife got stomach cramps. Won't be visiting there again. Service was fine. Ambiance was fine. Food could be better

Friendly service Great drinks Super tasty salads great sauces And wonderful grilled meat!! You got to come here

This is the #1 place I wanted to try after wrestling season and it could not have been better. Me and a friend went on a Monday night and definitely ate our moneys worth in food. I took a picture of every cut of meat I had and now I have well over 20 extra pictures in my phone. My favorite meats were the lamb which had a very nice gamy flavor and any of the chicken. Normally I wouldn't want to waste stomach space on chicken because I have so much of it at home but this was by far the best chicken I've ever had. But I tried every meat they had and you can't go wrong with any of them. My favorites from the salad bar were the polenta, cheese balls, and the coconut coleslaw. The polenta had a nearly sweet flavor and were perfectly crispy. Also get as much of the pineapple as you can. The service was also amazing. We were constantly being served and everyone was super kind.

This is the 3rd Brazilian steakhouse I've been to in the metro area. This one is my new favorite. We went for Sunday brunch and they had the salad bar along with some breakfast favorites like French toast, eggs and bacon. The service was quick and efficient. I highly recommend the garlic beef and parm beef/ pork. The nice thing about this place is they have sides and sauces on the salad bar area so you can self serve whenever you need more. Pro tip sign up for their birthday club and it's buy 1 get 1 free and free flan. I was very impressed. Parking is super easy and plentiful.

Stopped in for dinner and received an amazing service by our waitress Michelle. I couldn't have been more pleased that night.

Food was great! Service was good! Definitely coming back. Price was reasonable. Come hungry cause you will leave with the meat sweats.

Met up with a friend for the extended restaurant week back in 10/28. When heading towards the entrance, we were greeted by staff and they had sanitizers available before entering the actual dining room/hall. Masks are required when walking/moving around the space. Ordered the mango limeade which was refreshing to drink! I usually order the original but other flavors were delicious too! The salad bar was open. However, only staff is allowed to grab the food offerings from the salad bar for the diners. That was to reduce covid spread. Good variety from the salad bar and the meat variety were all delicious! Meats were moist and tender. Staff was fast and friendly. Staff was constantly checking to see if everything is ok and if we needed anything. Space was nice and clean.

Almost $100 even for 2 people, Full Brunch with 1 Mimosa and 1 Bloody Mary(with beer back). Most of the buffet items were good, but, some were a miss. (Like withered breakfast sausage and cold chewy bacon). The pineapple coconut coleslaw was awesome....potato salad and ceviche

This restaurant is set up similar to Fogo De Chau where it's all you can eat. There's a large salad bar and waiters that come around each table with different meats and grilled items. Be prepared to not eat anything the whole day if you're coming here because you'll be stuffed! There's a huge variety of meats and some unique things too that I haven't seen at other restaurants similar to this one. I loved the selection and the quick service here. You get filled up fast with the meat so don't forget to pace yourself! Every worker was accomodating and made sure our waters were always filled and our needs were met. Their attention the detail and timeliness was everything and it was better than the service I've had at another comparable restaurant. Not only that, but it's also significantly cheaper! I would definitely eat here again.

Food is great but the service is god awful. We arrived on time to our reservation but it still took awhile to seat us (tons of open seating available). The waiter took our drink order upon seating us but never returned. We enjoyed the salad bar and started the meat service. We finished two plates before we stopped the waiter as he tended to other tables to inquire where the water and other beverages were - he returned with water ten minutes later. The other beverages never showed up. As our plates were being cleared a different wait staff approached our table and asked if we needed anything, we informed her of the situation and she promptly brought the drinks ordered when we were seated. The whole experience was bizarre as if we had no wait staff, we even had to leave our table and ask the hostess at the front for our bill because the waiter seemed to be nonexistent. This place is overpriced for such low quality service/management. Definitely a major step down compared to Fogo.

Food just ok. The service is slow and just waiting for your 10-15% tip. The salad bar was set up not in a flow or good way to navigate

BETTER THAN FOGO! BY FAR! Me and my man decided to go to fogo to see what the hype was about! Never again. Rodizio is the place to go if you want a Brazilian steakhouse! I always leave happy. AMAZING FOOD! they care about their customers and the experience!

Abigail was amazing!! Great food and worth the drive! Make sure to come hungry with all you can eat!

What can I say? Unimpressed. If you have not been to a Brazilian Steakhouse, also known as a churrascaria, you may think Rodizio is a gift to a meat lover from above. How could you turn down endless cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and sausage being served right to your table? Not to mention a sizable salad bar with around 45 options. And all of this coming in at a cost about 1/3 lower than the competitor in downtown Minneapolis, Fogo De Chão. So, here's the problem. If you HAVE been to a churrascaria, such as Fogo, you know just how jaw dropping amazing it can be. Everything from the number of options to the quality of those options and the impeccable service. Unfortunately Rodizio just doesn't stack up. Sure, it's a few bucks cheaper but personally I would spend a few extra dollars for a more superior experience and I live in Maple Grove just blocks from Rodizio. What I liked: About half of the meats were outstanding. Tender meats that were cooked to perfection. What I didn't like: About have the meats were outstanding. Why weren't all of them? A lot of the options were way over cooked and tough. Generally you can ask for a temperature preference but with a lot of the selections you got well done and that's it. I was also not pleased that there were zero sides at the table. If you wanted any side whatsoever you had to make a trip to the salads bar. Things like potato's and biscuits should be at the table. I guess they couldn't boast the number of salad bar selections if they did that. Speaking of the salad bar, I didn't even partake. All selections looked underwhelming and frankly just sad. It wasn't well kept and messy. The tradition salad items looked to be welted and not fresh. Things like potatoes and rice looked burned from sitting in warmers all day. Not fresh at all. Lastly, we went a little later at night. Around 8:15. The place was only about 30% full but almost every empty table was in need of busying. After a 20+ minute wait, along side another couple that had been waiting even longer while they cleaned all the empty tables we were finally seated. If you want endless meats and to save a few dollars Rodizio is for you. For me, I won't be returning.

So far lots of flavors, price isn't as much as fogo de chao so that's a plus. We came at lunch time , so maybe there might be more stuffs during dinner ? With that being said the salad bar area is very limited . Also the serve's knives were pretty dull , a lot of them were having a hard time cutting off meats. So it comes down to if you just wanted the experience, sure , if you wanted the WHOLE experience with a lot of variety pay the extra amount and head over to fogo de chao in Minneapolis downtown.

Rodizio is a great restaurant! The food is delicious and the restaurant experience is fun and different. It's like Fogo De Chao but a little more budget friendly. They serve meat on huge screwers and they come to your table with all the different meat options. They have a buffet as well where you get all the other food like salad and potatoes, rices, cheeses, veggies, etc. Their little Brazilian cheesy bread is very delicious! The sweet and spicy chicken is one of the most delicious things, as well as the garlic steak, but the food item that takes the gold is the grilled pineapple. It is the most delicious thing there hands down. Sometimes it feels like they skip over your table for a very long time with certain meats which is annoying and the parking situation is a huge downside at this restaurant.

Not sure what has happened to this place. Service has gotten very slow and meats are not what they used to be. Came in for brunch hoping things would be better but not so. Pretty sure I won't be back as the longer drive to Fogo is now worth it.

The meat is really good. The salad bar and sides are a bit of a joke. The servers are great! The lighting and decor sort of have an IHOP feeling to them...wasn't impressed. For $50 a person just for food you would expect a little better I guess. Our experience may have also been somewhat negatively impacted by the fact that there was a family with a small child right next to us. This by itself isn't a problem at all, I mean we had a pretty big group and were probably a little noisy ourselves...but the parents just shoved an iPad in the kids face, set the volume on full blast, and non-stop obnoxious kids shows played on a loop. So, that really killed the "ambiance" aspect. Overall I probably wouldn't recommend and won't go back just because the price and what you get for it. Nothing against the fine folks working there, as they did a good job.

It always astounds me how many people haven't been here. On a very basic level, this may be a cultural thing. A lot of Americans eat in a way that is time sensitive, that is, we tend to want our food right away, eat it quickly, and move on to the other responsibilities of the day. I would suggest altering that approach toward a more social experience, and enjoying all that Rodizio has to offer...and they have A LOT to offer. The salad bar is filled with Brazilian and American classics, and is probably underappreciated. It shouldn't be. There is much to pique your interest. But let's be honest, the real reason we all go to these places is to get steak wasted. They have a lot of variety, and if there is something you want specifically, they'll make sure they get it out to your table promptly. This includes to your desired doneness, so don't give too much credence to other reviews that make it seem as though you get what they offer and nothing else. Do not skip the grilled pineapple either, as you will be drooling for more throughout the meal. No question about it, this place is expensive compared to a lot of lesser-quality restaurants. Keep this in mind, though: If you go to a mid-tier steakhouse and order a mid-tier steak, you're already approaching the cost of the entire buffet at Rodizio. At least here you can have a variety of meats, a variety of cuts, and any way you'd like it done. Definitely worth every penny.

*Take-Out* - As the restaurant was very busy, we decided to do take out. The order was simple to complete online and was ready right on schedule. The taste was superb and the price was very reasonable. My wife and I were super pleased and would come back again in a heartbeat.

Can't go wrong. Seriously, you have to try this place. Unreal salad bar and never ending meat!

This place is pretty unorganized. We went to dinner on Saturday night which was my Birthday. We were pretty excited as a group to go here, as none of us had ever been but, thought the experience seemed pretty cool. They serve endless meat and salad bar during your dining experience. You can do just the salad bar for $25 which after seeing the selection of meats going around that was what I went with. The whole experience was $35 if you want both. We got here and no one was at the front host stand. We stood for about 15 minutes with no one greeting us or anything. I was about to suggest we go elsewhere since it was taking so long. There were about 10 empty tables with no one sitting at them but, every single one was dirty. Finally someone came up and asked for our name, and told us it would be a 20 minute wait and to go sit down in the bar area. I could see in front of me about 8 tables seated...so they didn't seem that busy at all. We sat down and it was about exactly 20 minutes. The people in front of us looked like they had been waiting much much longer. This gave me time to realize that the meat portion was not for me but, everyone else in my group did both meat and salad bar. Just seeing what was coming out of the kitchen was good enough. Our server was nice and explain the process. Sadly the salad bar was worth more along the lines of $10. Cub food salad bar has more to offer for cheaper than the salad bar here. I left pretty disappointed in what I had. I had a small salad with cucumbers and broccoli as those were the only cold veggies available for salad. The salad did not look fresh...it looked like it was sitting out in warmth for hours. I didnt really know what to eat since everything looked so bad.I also had a little pasta alfredo which did not have much flavor, and some cheese cubes. I also asked for their house Cabernet wine which stated $7 but, was charged for the Josh Cabernet which was $9. I did not dispute this because it's a mistake that should not have been made, and I just wanted to get out of this place. I don't think I would be interested in returning. Skip this and check out some of the other chains in the Maple Grove area.

The 5pm open time is weird, but every place has their thing. But I want to talk about my family's experience going here Wednesday post graduation. The salad bar was not well taken care of..little flying bugs and the driest Alfredo pasta I've ever tried. It looks like things are left in place over night then reheated up or they take the plastic off the entire situation. The meat was good and service was great. We ordered a ginger ale..got some weird mixture that wasn't it. Bugs flying around the food.

HORRIBLE. JUST HORRIBLE. Go to Fogo instead. Our first time dining there and on FATHER'S DAY and it was the WORST experience ever. Our drinks did not come out until 15mins after placing them. Multiple severs passed our table of 7 people without a care or thought about stopping at it even though we had our stamper-looking thingy on GREEN. Other tables were being served very quickly while our table was served every 15-20 minutes...AND WE WERE SEATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESTAURANT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE US/PASS US AND IT WASN'T EVEN BUSY!! LEARN HOW TO CATER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. DEFINITELY WILL BE SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT THE HORRIBLE SERVICE. Should have not paid full price for just eating the salad bar + added gratuity is a joke for their horrible service and raw cuts of meats.

Okay so where do I begin with this one? While in Minnesota on vacation my daughter and I who love Brazilian steakhouses decided to try the Rodizio Grill. I have got to say up front, that this visit was not one that I would repeat as much of it was a disappointment. Location: The facility is in a popular strip mall so it is convenient to get to with ample parking. Restaurant: The place was clean and had many open tables which should have been a sign but being unfamiliar with the area we did not take notice. Service: We had the nicest server, Robin who made sure that she asked us if we needed anything more than once. She had a pleasant smile and brought our drinks out quickly. The Food: I could take you through all of what was wrong but that would take a lot of time and in the end I would just be reminding you that it just was not their night. Here are just a couple of the items - 1) All of the meat that night was being served rare; 2) The white rice was too hard to chew; 3) There was no flavor to the meat and the salad bar just looked sloppy with no real selection. When I spoke to the manager Josh he apologized for the condition of things and explained that he saw what we did as well. I guess that is all that one can ask for and now we can only hope that he can motivate his staff to do better. Having been to Brazilian Steakhouses all over the world this place was a huge disappointment and I feel your $100 is better spent elsewhere until these folks get their act together. The staff needs to understand that food in this type of restaurant is not the only draw. People come to this type of restaurant for the experience. We want to be treated courteously and have GOOD food prepared with attention and CARE. If you are just slapping together the food and dumping it on the buffet, we can tell and your establishment won't last very long with that type of attitude.

The meat isn't the same quality as Fogo de Chão, however, for the convenience and availability of not having to deal with downtown this place is good. The service is great. From the hostess to the servers they're all very welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed their grilled pineapple the best. Grab from the salad bar the roasted garlic to pair with your Miolo da Paleta (flavorful beef center cut). Mmm

BAD, BAD, BAD when they open, it was good, now its beyond bad.. sorry cant even compare to Fogo de Chão, for Brazilian standards iam speechless how bad this place is now... i am Brazilian and this is not how a rodizio style restaurant should be.

Very nice food for the price. Note I've only gone here once. The waiter was very kind to my family. Idk if it was a special time but there was a lot of steak style options the time I went. General vibe of the place is very FANCY

Its like a buffet practically. All you can eat but the meat is brought to your table. They had a variety of steak, white fish, sweet and spicy chicken, bacon wrap chicken and pork, pineapple, lamb, chicken hearts, grilled chicken, and sausage... you just grab ur choices of side dishes: rice, potatoes, and salad. Dinner prices was $40 adults and $12 kids. My 10 yr old daughter didnt each much of the meat, she only took a few bites of side dishes, but i wouldnt take picky eaters here for that price.

the food was great the service was good my server Abby did a great job and everyone was so kind

We had reservations for Valentine's Day. We expected it to be busy, however we did not expect to be ignored. I think the server forgot we were his table and tried to flag him a few times. Eventually we were able to get the attention of another server to get our bill. The food was okay, not sure we will return.

Went there with a group of 6 for Saturday brunch. Service was pretty good. However, none of us were impressed with the food. The salad bar was bland. No dressing on the cole slaw or Caesar salad. None of the meats we had seemed to have any seasoning. Very bland. Good quality meats, but zero flavor. Not near as good as Fogo de Chao. Price was high 30's, so it's a budget option if you want to go to a Brazilian steakhouse.

I have zero complaints about this place! Food is delicious and the service is great! I always come here with friends whether it's for a casual dinner or holiday. Would definitely recommend to anyone

My son's birthday was yesterday and made online reservations to ensure they new and please make t special. The hostess didn't know that although it was in the special comments section via online booking so I had to remind her. Waiter took 10 minutes just to greet us and startled us as he was a very large man and came from around a blind corner. Gave him our drink order and our appetizer and salad order. I got the appetizer and food started coming yet still no drink! My son ordered Angry Orchard and the waiter asked him bottle or tap? We said tap. After 15 minutes he finally brings a bottle (not the tap beer) and a poorly made old fashion - all whiskey, yuck! Waiter then disappeared for another 15 minutes and I finally flagged his attention. We order Angry Orchard on tap again! He came back in 10 minutes and gave us Apple Cider! He didn't even know what the bar serves as it is NOT on tap! He also touched my son's arm twice while telling us a long story we did not care to hear. Touching patrons during Covid-19, seriously?!? He once again disappeared for 15 minutes and never checked in with us during the entire meal on how things were. We had meat that was dry, over cooked and/or tough. We never even got the free dessert my son was promised AFTER I had to remind them. The waiter was never informed about the birthday! WE WILL NEVER be back again!!!

We were not able to get a reservation until later in the evening which was fine, however all the meat was so tough it was hard to chew. Seemed to be way overcooked. I have eaten here twice before, but after this time I doubt I will be back. When you have way over a $100 bill just for 2 people I would hope that the quality of the food was better. The service was good, just the quality of food that was disappointing.

We went to Rodizio Grill for Restaurant Week. We had a reservation but had to wait for a bit for a table. Not a big deal. It was really busy! Our server seemed really harried. I can't say it was the best service we have ever had. It wasn't the worst though. The table next to us seemed to have a great server. He even refilled my pop for me. The food was very good. With the exception of the pineapple, the servers cans around a lot. Overall, it was a good meal and we will be back.

Came here tonight expecting the full advertised menu.... Did not happen. No lamb , no vegetables, most meats slathered in sick BBQ sauce. Was told by the manager Jeff it is because it's "restaurant week". WTF? When will it be "Please the Customer Week"? If you are creating a new experience then update the website! We drove an hour and a half for this? Never again! Today I was contacted by the Sr Operations Manager of Rodizio Grill. I appreciate him taking the time to look into our experience. Thank you David!

This time things were not as good. The service was slow. The salads were definitely not fresh. The meats were ... different. Then to top the not so good experience the manager was arguing with us. "It is not slow but your preference of well done takes more time". I will gladly pay the extra $10 snd go to Fogo de Chào next time. Very disappointed this time. -------------- -------------- Previous review: 4 stars I am not sure where to begin. It is difficult to avoid comparison when the night before part of the gang (4) with me included were in the only other churrascaria in town. This time 11 were present. It is safe to say the Rodizio visibly stepped up to the occasion. There were more gauchos running around with premium cuts on the famous skewers that, with the baggy equestrian pants and riding boots, reminds me of Sinbad the Sailor from Arabian Nights. Their salad bar is not as extensive as the one you would find in a Brazilian steakhouse but it has enough for any one who chooses to stay on the lighter side. Like the other churrascaria it is always sad to leave Rodizio but your wallet will suffer less in here. It was an hour drive to get here but I would gladly make the trip in the future as I hope that the restaurant week experience sends a message that more servers are better.

Stopped by for dinner but couldn't because I didn't have a reservation. There may have been 10 people in the restaurant. I see the excuse is resources, but the surrounding restaurants seem to have full staff. This appears to be a management problem. Can't feel sorry for a business with more excuses than solutions.

Disappointing food quality! We had our first (and last) visit this afternoon for lunch. Our main focus was to compare them to Fogo de Chao since we had both recently eaten at Fogo. And all of my computer nerd friends have been telling me the past year that Rodizio is "just as good" as Fogo "except cheaper"! I'm here to tell you this is NOT true at all. BEEF QUALITY: I literally tried everything on offer for lunch. But I'm all about the beef. And the quality was super disappointing. I don't know what grade of beef these guys buy but it obviously isn't Prime or Choice. It was ALL chewy, rubbery, and dramatically worse then the beef at Fogo. Some of the other meats were sub-par...like the pork sausage (yuk!) and the chicken. FYI, I liked the grilled Pineapple. SERVING SIZES: The servers also offer you microscopic sized slices. This was pretty irritating because I was really hungry. I felt like I was in the meat line at Old Country Buffet. I always asked for two slices and I was still served ant sized portions, despite me laughing and telling the dude that they were "wimpy". APPETIZERS: Ho, hum. I like the fried banana with cinnamon. SALAD BAR: Interesting selection. Nice try. But again, quality was lacking and FAR below Fogo. DESSERT: The Creme Brulee was fantastic. It was the highlight of the meal and I actually ordered some extra to take home for my wife. SPEED: Our beers took forever to arrive. We actually finished all of our apps and our entire plate of salad bar selections before they arrived. Weird. SERVICE: Our server, Chad, was fantastic. I left him a big tip since he totally kicked ass. If they bought better food products and let Chad run the place, I think they'd be better off. FYI, the person who took our reservations on the phone was super unprofessional and in need of some training. Also, the reservations were ridiculous since the place was nearly empty for lunch. PRICE: Finally, lunch is only about 10 bucks less than lunch at Fogo. Dinner is about $20 less than Fogo. But Fogo is far superior from top-to-bottom, beginning-to-end. Next time, I'll go back to Fogo instead. I'm not interested in saving only 10 or 20 bucks to chew on rubber. -Daddy Maxx Retro

I have to admit, the place looks nice but the quality for the price just doesn't work. Dylan was our server tonight. Very great guy, knowledgeable and friendly. He was thorough and helpful. However, the food quality was not great. My partner, who happens to be Brazilian, decided on just the salad option. He got different foods at the buffet and sat down. He ate each thing and didn't like any of it. I enjoyed a couple of the beef choices that came around, though the gauchos who came around barely explained the meats nor really gave me time to say yes or no. Most just cut and placed without asking me. Some of the beef was chewy and not edible. We mentioned our disapproval to Dylan and he just grabbed the bill for us and that was it. No manager came over to ask how things were at all. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. We've had some great food at other Brazilian steakhouses. So far, the two we've been to were strikeouts. Oh well, on to the next place.

Came here with a group of 7. I would start off that reserving a table is pretty easy to do online, but the restaurant was pretty empty at 5:30 so it wouldn't be hard to just show up and be quickly sat down. It was my first time coming to a Brazillian steakhouse, and overall the meat types were okay (Like a 6/10). The salad bar was weak and none of the dishes looked appetizing enough to grab. Some good things I can say: the waiters were very nice and polite, sometimes it would be hard for them to appear at our table once it became busier. Also, its funny to say, but my favorite food there were the fried bananas. But 38$ for fried bananas to be the best food? I'll pass. Overall not a terrible place, but don't expect to be wow-ed

worst birthday dinner ever. raw chicken and bad service. we had a party of 8 people spent over $500 to have a waiter check on us 3 times in 3 hrs. I do not recommend this place to anyone es people of color

We usually go to Fogo de Chao, but decided to try something new. If you'd never been to Fogo, Rodizio would be fine, but I have to compare them and there is NO comparison. Rodizio resembles a mall restaurant. The waiters are very nice and the food is decent. They bring nice Brazilian sides to the table but their popovers are like rocks and are raw in the center. The salad bar is pretty weak in comparison as I'm used to that awesome Market Table, but It's better than average on it's own. They bring lots of sizzling meat to the table. This place is much better for a meat-eater than a vegetarian.
