Great place to celebrate your birthday . Doug was awesome and the service was excellent. The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff stopped by to check on us several times. We'll be back. read more

We've been to a number of Brazilian Steakhouses. This one ranks in the top couple while not being near the most expensive. The Gauchos came around frequently and often asked if there was something particular they could send over. They had the biggest selection of meats of all of the Brazilians I've been to. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

We were a table of 8 crammed in a small space so everyone had to get up for one person. The meats were mostly overcooked which sucks for red meat. You do much better getting the cut cooked the way you want at a steakhouse read more

Had an early supper today and I must say I throughly enjoyed my visit. I was quickly seated and my server, Nick, was very polite, attentive and informative. Other staff asked if I was in need of anything. The manager was friendly and engaged with all the customers. The gauchos came regularly to deliver the variety of delicious grilled meats. The customer service was excellent. The salad bar offered a huge selection of fresh veggies and salads and the hot food area had lots of hot Brazilian dishes. Everything was delicious but the star of the dining experience is truly the various grilled meats. I also loved the yummy grilled pineapple. I will definitely return to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. read more

Came to dine with my friends and definitely coming back! We sat in the patio, facing the lake and watched the sunset, we had a great time! Owen was awesome, he explained everything very well and had great recommendations. Our favorite meats , Picanha, Glazed Ham and Galeto that were brought to the table by Nico one of the many Gauchos (meats servers). read more

It was amazing experience! Rodizio it's now advertising a new summer menu and everything is delicious as usual! I was very impressed with the mango soup, super refreshing! We went to celebrate my moms birthday and all the meats and service were outstanding! We had Chris as server and he went above and beyond, making our visit even more special! Definitely the best Brazilian Steak House I ever been to! Looking forward to our next visit! read more

I've been coming here since they opened. The food is so delicious, and the atmosphere is so fun! Definitely a must try! Very unique how they bring different meats out for you to try! My kiddos enjoy the variety and the salad bar too! Yum! read more

This spot is a lovers spot!!! The waiters and waitresses treat you like royalty and one in specific waitress is mercedes she goes above and beyond! Made our valentines day dinner so worth being there!!! Love rodizio!!! read more

Celebrated Mother's Day there with Mom. Meal was fantastic. Wide variety of meats & food at salad bar & desserts. Only thing that was disappointing was the Mothers Day sign board stating that on Mothers Day they were having an expanded menu ( which they did) and that all Mothers would receive a special gift. Server didn't know of any "special gift" and said maybe it was the BOGO card. In with our bill was a BOGO card for a future visit (expires in 3 months) at this location only. Would be ok, except for we live 1.5 hours away and won't be back before it expires. Guess I was expecting maybe a rose or carnation for Moms. Not a coupon! read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for a few years just went back last Saturday it was a wonderful experience as it had been in the past. I like that you have to make a reservation to be able to go in. The food was excellent and the salad bar delicious.The service is above and beyond always . read more

My family and I came here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was pretty quiet. The service was excellent. The second you turn over the little block to signal you're ready for meats, the servers keep it coming! My favorite meat was the pincanha, which I think is the top sirloin. You have to try the grilled pineapple! It's the perfect thing to cleanse the palate in between all of the meat. It also pairs great with the ham. They also have salmon as well. The salad bar has a decent selection of meat and cheeses. Also a handful of different types of salad. My favorites were some kind of mango cabbage slaw and the kale salad. There's also beans, white rice, mashed potatoes, hot noodle dishes, soup, quail eggs, and more! There's definitely something for everyone. We all ate so much there wasn't any room for dessert. Next time though, I'll have to same some room for the cheesecake. For the price ($35 for full rodizio), it's a great deal! I've had better Brazilian steakhouses, but the others do come with a higher price tag. I would definitely recommend if you're hungry! read more

Hubby and I had a meat craving, so we thought there was not a better place to come for that than here. We did come on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. They sat us right away, and service was really good. Food was a bit heavy on the salt for me. Come hungry. read more

Was there for dinner last Easter. Meal was fair, at best. Went this past Sunday (Easter). And it ranks as the worst place I have ever eaten. Poor service, under/over cooked food. Messy salad bar and all that for at an absurd price. Chicken was rubbery, beef was under cooked and fatty. The manager did come to our table, but turned a cold shoulder to us. Won't see us again.

We arrived at 500pm on a Saturday evening for an early celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday with a last minute dinner decision with a party of seven no reservations. We were warmly greeted. We did call ahead and they did have a table for us! The restaurant was mostly empty at 5:00pm. Food -4.5 stars. Great rodizio cold and hot. Meat selection was good and flavors were good, but not exceptional. If it your first Brazilian restaurant you will love it but it can be bit better with seasoning. The feijoada and stroganoff were bland. Meats needed more seasoning but were cooked perfectly! They gauchos did a wonderful job serving and presenting each meat/fish/pork in Portuguese, many as a second language! This really adds to the experience! Service - 3.0 Very nice greeting and table service, excellent gauchos. However, we had multiple servers which was confusing and they were at times unavailable. The servers rarely returned for another round of drinks or enough refills, or to take dirty plates. We had a pile of plates on the table- the manager visited, asking about our food, and did not offer to clear or send anyone back to clean. This is completely unacceptable. As a Brazilian family, we are used to a much higher standard of table service. Dirty plates in front of you - when spending $xxx not ok. The restaurant was too too hot!! However, the servers were otherwise lovely, helpful, and knowledgeable. Atmosphere 4.5 The restaurant is lovely and inviting with art, decor, and lighting - so nice. We celebrated my daughters 19th birthday. The servers sang in Portuguese with our dessert. This was kind and enjoyable. The price is very good for the overall experience and in comparison to other Brazilian restaurant we have enjoyed over the years. Overall we certainly recommend but I hope Rodizio can make small improvements before we visit next time. read more

Last night I went in for my second time in two months and my experience was even better than the first. I came in late on a Monday and the staff were incredibly accommodating and polite. The bartender assisted me with putting on the basketball game that I wanted to watch. And the rest of the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. I sat next to the water outside, ate meat and watched NCAA tourney ball. It was divine. They ran out of pork rib, but other than that the food was better than the first time! read more

I wish I would've turned the wood block over to red from green about 20 minutes earlier. The variety was good, tri tip and parmesan crusted steak was solid. I wouldn't advise going the night before a flight but would highly recommend especially for a work function. read more

The environment here is incredible, the energy is high and everyone is super friendly. We arrived around 6:30, got seated right away with Doug, who was extremely attentive by the way, and began our dining experience! The salad bar has everything you could want for dinner and is so delicious!! Salads, pasta, mashed potatoes, fruits and veggies. My girlfriend had the ordered the full meal and received the hot Brazilian grilled meats and items. She absolutely loved it and complimented the fact that the food is cooked with a twist. Loved everything about this place! Thank you to the staff for absolutely everything. We will be back!! read more

I have never had Brazilian food before and this turned out to be one of the coolest dining experiences I've ever had. At first, the server comes to your table and tells you there are two ways to dine. 1 you can get salad bar and access to all the meats. 2 you can just have the salad bar. My cousin and I chose the first option with salad bar and the meats. So when I say "access to all the meats" I mean there are these men that come around with long metal rods loaded with meat...it was jaw dropping! (I will get back to this) So we go to the salad bar first, it was very impressive with lots of fresh food. Like I have said in many reviews before, I don't do dairy so other than fresh salad veggies and some dressing there wasn't anything else I could get actually. Even though I was limited in the salad bar department I still filled my plate up with a lot of greens and veggies which made for a great base for the meats I was going to get. Another really cool part about this place was this little red and green block they had at each table. What you do is turn it so the green side is facing up and that tells the men with the meat ready to carve that you are ready. Turn it so the red part is facing up and that tells them you need a break and not to come to your table. Tip it on its side and that tells your server you are ready for dessert/check. They brought some fantastic meats to our table. They had marinated grilled steak, grilled chicken, sausage, glazed ham, and lastly grilled pineapple. I had bites of each of these, my favorites were the pineapple and the steak. They were perfectly cooked and tasted incredible. Whenever I am back down in the Florida area I will absolutely be going back to this place, I was in awe of their style and their food was outstanding! :) read more

This place does the job for an area that doesn't have Texas De Brazil. They have some different seasoned meats than most places that are pretty good. The salad bar under normal circumstance would be outstanding, that's before seeing Texas or Fogo's salad bar which is amazing. Like said earlier, an area that doesn't have two of the best, this place gets by and is quite good. I've become very spoiled so my rating here might be critical to some but I'm comparing it to the two other big ones that are in this restaurant space. read more

Went to Rodizio's last night for dinner, I read the reviews before I went and almost didn't go, boy am I glad I went ! Those reviews were written by a competitor or someone who had just had a bad view of life! I found everything to be a FIVE STAR! From the cleanliness, the presentation, to the servers, to the food, I want to personally thank Doug, Bruno, Maryanna , for making our groups experience wonderful! We definitely will return and advise you to go see for yourself ! Bottom line , it is pricy, but, you get what you pay for! If you want to feel SPECIAL it's worth the Experience. read more

Great atmosphere. Friendly and attentive aervice at all times. The staff was always checking up to make sure water and drinks were always full. Food was excellent. They have all the expected great cuts of meats you would expect to see at a great Brazilian Steak house. Buffet options were also plentiful. Excelent quality, choices of hot and cold dishes to accompany your Brazilian Rodizio! read more

Great Brazilian steakhouse experience! The meats were seasoned & so cooked just right, with none of the meats being overcooked & dry. The buffet that hosted the side dishes was abundant with a variety of dishes. Rodizio is definitely worth the price. I recommend this place for a great eating experience!! read more

This is probably my favorite steakhouse in town. The barbecue is awesome, the staff is very friendly and The manager, Takeo, is very courteous, making us feel at home. If you want a authentic Brazilian experience, this is the perfect place for you. They also offer a Brazilian wine - Monte Paschoal - that shows the best experience in wines from Brazil. I'm very impressed with Rodizio and I intend to come here again for sure. read more

Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse Estero - Monte Paschoal Tannat and picanha - Steakhouses Near Me - Estero, Florida

Rodizio was great. It is very similar to Texas de Brazil (for anyone who has been there). I will say I like Texas de Brazil better but this is also $38 Vs $50 (the cost for Texas). They have two options you can do salads and sides for $28 or the entire menu for $38. They have great drinks and dessert which are separate. I thought everything was delicious especially the Parmesan steak and pot roast. For those of you who have never been, after you go up to the salad and side bar they walk around with meat on a stick. You have the option to get a piece of meat off that stick or pass. All the meats are great quality and really do fall off the bone. Their service is also spectacular. Overall, great experience read more

Sin d my last review we've gone twice and they've definitely improved in quality. I'm upgrading to 4 stars instead of 3.

My family and I frequent Rodizio which is why I chose to post this because most of the time I dont really care to leave reviews. Whenever we go we are greeted and sat almost immediately and service is typically very well done with both the servers and gauchos. There was one time that we had to wait on a steak we asked for fifteen minutes but it was the weekend and besides that one time, every other time has been exceptional. The pina colada is by far their best drink and unlike other bars this drink isnt a mixer its made fresh. The salad bar is relatively diverse but we all come here for the meats for sure. Overall this restaurant is one of our family's favorites in Fort Myers/ Estero and I recommend it to anyone:) read more

Best Restaurant I ever been!!! I recommend you to go there and see it for yourself. Servers and meat server are very attentive. Food is excellent! You totally can tell is very and well seasoned. Managers are very profissional and personable. Price for all you can eat steak and salad bar is very Reasonable... go check it out! Very warm place!!!! read more

I've been to Rodizio restaurants plenty of times and this place were definitely coming back to we had dinner here for father's days the unlimited everything & the meats were all so fresh and delicious they had variety's to choose from Medium Rare to Full cooked it was just all so delicious the sides and if you come here I DEFINITELY recommend the Chimichurri sauce they have for the steaks truly delicious!! read more

A bit pricy for the selection and quality of fare, and not the best Brazilian steakhouse I have experienced. Not to say the food was bad, but mediocre at best. Price probably commensurate for the locale. Server was attentive and no complaints on that front. Here is what really rubbed me wrong-my wife had about a half plate of salad and fixings left on her plate and we were denied a "to go" box. Okay I get that there are probably those who would attempt to take advantage by loading up a plate of meat and boxing it up. The way the "policy" was explained to us by the service manager was absolute and came off as rude. There is always room for judgment calls by management when presented with (at least in my mind) minor policy decisions. Because I am huge on customer service I will let my wallet do the talking. That was our last trip to this establishment, I could have enjoyed a nice filet and top notch service at several other nearby establishments for a comparable price. Of course your mileage may vary. read more

We had a large party of 12 people and the service was excellent. This was my first visit there and I was pleasantly surprised! The salad bar offered many selections and were all great. Everyone loved the Mango soup. There is definitely something there for everyone! There was so much to choose from when the meats came around, had to be about 15 different options. The top sirloin was very tasty, everyone loved the beef & pork tenderloins and the ribs were just delicious! Dessert looked amazing but we were stuffed! Highly recommend! read more

So... Went here this past Sunday. (Apr 10, 2022) We were a party of 6. And we were celebrating a birthday. Two members of our party were kids. First of all, we were charged full price for all members of the party, and secondly we were automatically charged a 20% tip! And honestly, while the service is usually excellent, it was not great this time. There was no problem with the food. It was delicious and well seasoned. But to be charged full price when 2 of our party should have been charged for kids prices was not good...And then, with less than great service, to automatically add a 20% tip! I had assumed parties of 8 or more would be charged an automatic tip, not a party of 6!!! Especially when 2 of our party were kids!!! Let me be clear! I have NO PROBLEM tipping! And I value myself a good tipper!!! This left a REALLY BAD TASTE in my mouth, and I wonder if I'll ever return!!! I reached out to Rodizio on their website, hoping they would at least respond, but since they did not, my review went from what would have been 3 stars, to two!!! Apparently, they don't care whether a customer has a bad experience or not!!! I also mentioned in my website contact that in business there is the 1/10 rule! One person will tell 10 people about their experience at your establishment. I imagine that more than 10 people will read this review..that Rodizio didn't think was important....Hope it works out.... read more

Would give it a 2.5 if I could. The food is good. There are a lot of options on the buffet side. Drinks are expensive $20 for a margarita. They give you a little wooden thing so you put it up on green if you want food and down on red if you don't. The people who come around with the meat are on top of it and the manager did come to our table early on and greeted us which was nice. But the waitress was terrible. She acted like we were inconveniencing her the entire time. When we asked for a refill after about 10 minutes of having an empty glass she informed us they were brewing the tea then returned with tea 10 minutes later. At least offer a water or something if it's that long. We then asked if they did anything for a birthday and asked for a different dessert which I was fine about paying for when she said "well it's not free". I asked her if the dessert we chose had nuts because of an allergy and she informed me she didn't know she was vegan which made no sense then she just brought the dessert. read more

Their food is decent for the price, definitely lower quality than any other rodizio we've been to but for the price - it's fair. However, our 1 star review is for the terrible service we received. I don't remember his name but he's a younger guy with dreads in a ponytail. He was so unprofessional, couldn't read the table at all and was just uncomfortable to be around. I also overheard a girl at the table next to ask to change her drink order and he said no because they already started making it.. how rude is that. They also sat people directly next to us, less than arms length from us. During Covid.. pretty horrific to see someone sitting close enough to get us sick when there were plenty of empty tables all over to put them in. There's no excuse for this. This is the only restaurant I've been to who didn't keep tables far apart. We won't be back. read more

I was expecting more. It may have been the torrential rain down pour. Or walking and standing at the front door as we walked in. However the salad bar is immense and very good. But we avoided the temptation to fill up on the hundreds of items at the salad baron order to be able to taste the many different meats cooked perfectly over open flames. From lamb, to various steaks, Turkey breast and ham - all were excellent and we both had our hungers very satisfied. read more
