    Grilled pineapple
    Minji K.

    If you're a meat lover looking for a place to have an absolute feast, Rodizio is an amazing option! This Brazilian grill specializes in meat of all types, including beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and lamb. It's such a fun experience since you are given a little wood tool with green and red sides as the servers walk around with the various meats. You can flip the stick to show green if you want the servers to stop at your table and offer you the assorted meat or flip it red if you're full/need a break and do not want them to serve you. Out of the many options that I tried, my favorites were the Coração de Frango Temperado (chicken hearts) which were slightly chewy, the grilled lamb, and the Presunto (grilled ham). Some of the meats are more seasoned/cooked than others so you can try a bunch and see what your favorites are! The grilled pineapple was also super juicy and such a refreshing combination with the meat. You can enjoy unlimited salad bar with the protein as well! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options offered at the bar. They had so many different types of salad and sides, including ceviche and pickled beets, and grilled vegetables. They also had really good sauce options like their spicy sauces and churrasco sauce The servers were all very courteous and friendly. It would be a great place for a celebration with friends and family as well! It is located downtown so you do need to find street parking or paid garage parking.

    Yesterday on Friday, September 19, we went as a group of five adults and a 20 month old baby to Rodizio Grill to celebrate the birthdays of two people in our group. We had two birthday coupons prepared for the occasion. We arrived for our 6:30 p.m. reservation, and once seated, we immediately informed our server that one member of our group was pregnant and could not eat any meat cooked less than medium. The server acknowledged our request. We then went to the buffet, where we found that several items were lukewarm. During our first hour at the table, the meat rotation only included spicy chicken, parmesan chicken, and chicken hearts. They brought steak only once, and it was completely rare (just seared on the outside). We politely told the server about this and asked if they could bring medium-cooked meat instead, explaining again that we had a pregnant person in our group. The server agreed and assured us it was on its way. After an hour and twenty minutes in the restaurant, our server informed us that the birthday coupons automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill. She then dropped the check at our table--without us asking for it and her without offering dessert. At this point, no properly cooked meat had been served yet, and the few that arrived continued to be very rare, not edible even. When another server came to pick up the check, we explained everything that had happened. She apologized, offered us free dessert, and once again assured us that medium-cooked meat would be on its way. Forty minutes later, a server finally brought out several cuts of meat on an extremely hot tray and placed it directly in front of the baby sitting at our table. The meat was completely overcooked, dried out, and portioned so small that it couldn't feed our group. Another server came by, questioned why the tray had even been placed on our table, and asked again if we wanted it. Thinking it was some sort of joke, we said no. He then removed the tray and immediately offered it to the table beside us. We never asked for any additional discounts and ended up paying our bill in full (it did include birthday discounts) At around 8:30 and two hours later with none of our requests being met, we asked the hostess at the front desk to validate our parking ticket so we wouldn't have to pay at the garage. She appeared to agree and acted as if she had done it, but when we tried to leave the garage, we discovered the ticket was never validated and we ended up having to pay. In short, we left hungry, upset and with the worst restaurant experience we've ever had, and it completely ruined our celebration. -10/10

    Salad bar and first start of meat serving.

    Went here for my 1st time as my birthday gift with my Daughter and her boyfriend. I only gave 4 stars just because it deserved a 5 but figured I give it benefit of doubt and wonder if it gets better. Make sure you go here hungry! It's all you can eat and we'll it's not cheap but I also generally felt it was semi worth the price because oh my the meat was excellent. And this grilled pineapple they had was incredible too. You can just order salad bar if you want. Here's a few pictures but don't give it justice.

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was greeted right away as soon as I walked in. I had a reservation so the check in process went smooth I would recommend doing a reservation instead of showing up. As soon as we sat down let the food begin they started bring around the meat and it was very tasteful I might add. Made my way to the salad bar and they have a really nice selection of hot and cold items. The food was very fresh and good quality. I must say that I will return, but only on a special occasion considering its a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it.

    Rodizio Grill is a really delicious and unique place for any special event. I have been a few times but my most recent visit was on New Year's Eve. It is located in the Arena District and parking isn't too bad with a garage located behind it. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The lighting was nice, not too dark but also not blinding us. We started with some drinks and I had one of the specialties for the holiday which was a Brazilian take on a French 75. It was really delicious and I would order it again. The trick to getting your moneys worth is to not fill up on the sides but it's hard when they are so delicious! I had some mashed potatoes, alfredo pasta, roasted squash, polenta sticks, and my absolute favorite which is the cheese bread. I'm not alone in loving this as the tray of it was almost always empty. Luckily we had a good view of the bar and would watch to see when it was refilled. Last time I was here, our server brought the cheese bread, polenta sticks, and cinnamon bananas to the table in a little bowl but I think it makes more sense to have it on the salad bar. If you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse, servers walk around with giant skewers of all kinds of meat. They will stop by your table and introduce it and if you want it you'll get a piece or however many you want or a slice if it's beef. My favorite of the meats are the sweet and spicy chicken, parmesan chicken, and the glazed ham. The beef is all pretty good but I can't taste a real difference between them, that is my main gripe. Also, I got a cut of beef and after he walked away I found it was 100% fat which was a bummer. You absolutely HAVE to get the pineapple and I recommend getting at least 2 slices when they come to your table as it's very popular and doesn't come around a ton. Their dessert selections are also really nice. The cinnamon bananas are included but I recently also ordered what was described as a Brazilian churro. It had more of a donut texture than a churro but it was fried and then tossed in cinnamon sugar and was very good. My biggest advice would be to come here very very hungry and pace yourself. You don't need to say yes to every meat on their first pass. By only having 1 or 2 at a time I was able to enjoy a lot more than others at my table. I look forward to my next visit!

    What does the dinner meal included and how much for each person?

    The dinner includes rolls and as many trips to the salad bar as you can stuff in yourself. Plus all of the meat you can eat. The meat is brought by the table VERY frequently. Drinks are not included in your price. I never did ask about the daily… Read more

    REVIEW: Avila.Eats on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube…read more 1. Cheese bread is slightly crispy but super gooey. Reslly nice flavor. Has a pleasant chew. 7 2. Chicken croquette is crispy. But inside isn't all that flavorful. Cream cheese filling adds a creaminess and the chicken itself doesn't do much. 4 3. Burger is juicy, tender, and seasoning is present but not the main show. The egg adds an umami and the bun is sweet. This burger relies heavily on the mayo which maybe I'm crazy but it taste way better than normal mayo. Ham doesn't really add anything and the bacon adds a crunch and flavor. 6 house mayo 4. Picanah is tender and so well flavored. Juicy and the fat melts away. 9 the fried yuca has a great typical yuca taste but isn't salted. I'd like to have some seasoning or flavor contrast. But dipping the yuca in the juices of the picanah solves all the problems. 8. Adding Brazilian chimichurri is ok. Not my favorite style of chimichurri. Mixing chimi and house made meyo combo with the yuca flour is 10 bite. Super good 5. Beans are soft and tender. Beans flavor but no seasoning. 4.5 after adding the yuca flour it helps a little bit but beans aren't for me. 6. Picanah sandwich is amazing. Adds the flavor of that picanah to the delicious house made mayo. This sandwich doesn't rely so heavily on the mayo. I reslly enjoyed this. I'd like it more if the bread wasn't so much. The chimichurri mixes really well with their house made mayo. Fatty with a tang. Tender and juicy. This might be a 10 if the bread wasn't so thick and bready 9.5

They have a menu of items you can try in order off of, but my sister and I got the buffet and we're sure glad that we did. They had some salad bar items and then hot bar items with different items that rotate daily. In addition, they had a gentleman carving beautifully cooked steak, lamb, and sausage at your request. Everyone that worked there was super nice and helpful. Multiple people stopped by to check on us and welcome us. All the food was delicious and we picked out a few desserts to take home from the bakery (not included in the buffet price). There's also a little Brazilian market attached to the restaurant that is worth checking out as well. The restaurant itself had a really nice vibe with exposed brick walls. One of the women working told us that happy hour is from 12 to 8 but I will have to come back and try one of their cocktails at some other point. I will definitely be back.

    Hm...., I give them a 3 stars…read more First time here, not impressed. I walked in, I was standing at the hosted stand, waited for literally 5 minutes, I almost turn around and walk out, how do you let a customer standing at the front for 5 minutes? Since it was my first time, I'm not sure do I seat myself or someone will come up and help me seated. I saw 1 waitress working, she was pouring drinks for a table of 8-10 people, for a bit, i seriously thought she's the only one working at the front. Finally, another waitress came out from the back. I seated, already not happy with the service for a first time customer. The other waitress came, asked me what I like to drink. I looked over the menu, and read some the options, seem like the popular dish is the $12.99 lunch bowl, waitress came back, no drink. Asked me ready? Help yourself. Huh? I'm like no I'm not ready, where is my drink? I seriously wanted to walk out. I'm like okay, give it a chance. She came back with my drink, asked me again, I told her, I never been here, how is this work? She said you can take the $12.99 lunch special, or you can do the special combo, which includes drink, appetizer and I think the California roll for $19.99. I told her just do the $12.99, and she told me take this empty bowl and go get my own food, they cook it for you. I'm still very confused, they give you a card, write down your name and your table number. So I'm thinking maybe I take the card with me, I took whatever I like to eat, and leave the card with my bowl for the cook. After few minutes, I was t really sure, do I go get the food myself or the server going to bring the food to me? Very confusing, I read the other Yelppies wrote the server is very helpful to her, but I gotta say, not at all during my visit. Food is okay, nothing so special except is cheap, $12.99 lunch special Very bad experience for sure You all can go tried, you maybe like it, but don't expect anyone will help you

I love that they have brown rice as an option for the base! The chicken and veggies in my bowl were cooked nicely and were abundant! The brown rice was a little greasy but the meat and veg were not. I got the Hibachi sauce and it was tasty! We also ordered one order of steamed gyoza and one order of fried gyoza. The fried ones were deep fried which was a surprise because the picture on the menu looked as though they were pan fried. I really enjoyed the steamed one! We will definitely order again! They have a huge menu and I'm excited to add some sushi to our next round!
