This place trumps fogo de chao hands down. The service impeccable and friendly. The salad bar was great and had many fresh and flavorful choices. In fact I enjoyed the salads couch I hardly had room for the meats We went for the brunch and left I'm sure a couple of pounds heavier Wonderful setting for a family sized sit down too We will be returning read more

Ive been coming here for years, and it's always been a pretty solid go-to. The food is good and you get a lot of variety but it doesn't quite compare to what you'd get at a higher-end steakhouse in terms of quality in my opinion. One thing I do appreciate though is the pricing. They haven't raised it nearly as much as most places have, so it actually feels like a better deal now than it used to which is a big reason I still come back. Overall it's not the best steakhouse experience out there, but for what you pay and the novelty experience, I think it's worth it. read more

Came here with friends for the birthday of one of my friends. Very nice, elegant place& perfect enough to bring family, out of town guests, or friends for a new & exciting dining experience. The service we received was impeccable & our Gauchos were Tyler, Devon, & Tim, all of whom were very friendly, engaging, & informative. We all had the complete meal with unlimited salad bar & many meat choices. Two in our group ordered piña coladas & they looked very good, served inside a pineapple! I will say this place was worth every cent! Awesome service & amazing food, although some of the meat was too salty for my liking but overall we all enjoyed our meal. I will say there are some fine looking Gauchos there! Sign up for Club Rodizio & get a free meal on your birthday! I signed up on this visit! They sing Happy Birthday to you in Portuguese! read more

We recently went to Rodizio Grill for my dad's birthday and had such a fun experience. I loved the salad bar--ate my weight in the sweet, juicy, perfectly caramelized pineapple--and while I was a little bummed there wasn't any seafood this time, the garlic steak was incredible: tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a rich garlicky punch. The staff made the evening extra special by singing to my shy dad and bringing him a gigantic bowl of ice cream on the house. The gaucho servers were attentive and kept the food coming, so we got the full Brazilian grill experience. Even on a busy night, everything felt smooth and welcoming. Definitely a place I'd go back to celebrate again! read more

Rodizio Grill - Steakhouses Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Great experience at this Brazilian grill. Service was amazing and was greeted immediately upon entering. The place is very industrial and lofty with an upscale feel. It was a Friday night and it was packed! The salad bar had 42 items and delicious pickings from ceviche to crispy polenta and seafood salad! It would have been enough to have the salad bar only but we wanted the "whole experience". The gaucho servers were excellent and quick to come and fill our plates with Parmesan chicken, chicken hearts, sirloin steak, jalapeño steak, Parmesan steak, honey ham, chili grilled pineapple, honey pineapple, and so on ... At the end of our dinner, the manager came over to check on us. He was very cordial and a nice touch to ensure customer satisfaction in such a busy establishment. We will return! read more

We dined here to celebrate a birthday. It was my first experience at a Brazilian steakhouse. It is essentially AYCE meat with a salad bar (additional price). I have no comparisons or expectations, but based on my experience here, I most likely will not return. It was my fiance's birthday, so we made a reservation along with a message stating the celebratory occasion. Our server was a young female. She explained the rules for us, but spoke very quickly despite us asking her to repeat. It was rushed, impersonable, and overwhelming. Maybe because it was a somewhat busy night? We opted to do the AYCE salad bar on top. The meat is served by several servers. They come to your table and ask if you want a piece. There is a wide selection of meats available, including but not limited to beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. To be honest, most of the meats were very salty with some being more than others. The salt ruined the experience, but luckily the salad bar helped to balance the meal. They have a large variety of options to grab at the salad station, which also includes other hot foods. It gives a nice break if you are tired of eating meat. Throughout the meal we witnessed several tables getting a birthday celebration from the staff. We were also expecting one for ourselves. However, when it came to us getting the bill we never received one. Our server looks at the note on our reservation and publicly remarks, "Oh...." It was evident that she had forgotten. Not what we customers wanted to see or hear. That definitely dropped our experience and the credibility that this establishment is attempting to perceive. Despite all of this, I want to give a huge shoutout to Noah and Elijah. Noah was a server bringing us some meat. He was super friendly, nice, accommodating, and funny. He always remembered my mother wanted a "VERY small piece" and made her laugh. Elijah did not serve us, but I watched how hard he worked. He cleared and set tables very quickly and efficiently. He moved every plate and tableware perfectly aligned and I saw he had great attention to detail. Of course, everyone who came by was nice, but these two really stood out and deserve recognition. read more

Rodizio Grill - Mesa Brazilian BBQ Nice Salad Bar, I miss the old self serve salad bars that use to be in so many restaurants prior to covid. Many pasta salads, potato salad, multiple lettuce types and salad dressings. Also has an extensive Hot Side Dish Food Buffet with a good selection of items which includes the awesome cheesy garlic bread, rice, beef strogenoff, deep fried bananas, french fries, corn us others. Brazilian BBQ - remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint, so select wisely and don't get full on the salad bar. Cheesy Garlic Bread is a must to accompany the meats. The meats includes Maminha Tri-Tip, Picanha Top Sirloin, Chimichurri, Various Chicken, Sausage, Boneless Rib and many others. Once the wood block is set on green, the Gauchos who serve and slice the meats at your table are there to accommodate the type and quantity to your liking, plus our waiter Joel made sure we were taken care of We celebrated our son's 30th Birthday and they capped it off with a complimentary dessert selection read more

This is a nice place in a pinch. The salad bar is the biggest disappointment that's there. The meats for the most part were good, but some were very tough. The flavors with meats were spot on. The wait staff we only saw once at our table but the meat carvers were always around. I will say I do respect the for the flag flying half mast. read more

Having an all inclusive price lets you really focus on the taste of the food, from everything at the salad bar to assorted chicken, tri tip, pork, and sirloins they offer. My personal favorites were the tri tip and pork shoulder, although it could be because those were the ones I got that were still fresh and warm. Getting the last piece off the skewer was definitely not the best. I was a bit disappointed to see that they charged for each refill of a drink without telling us, not what you would expect for their pricing style. I don't want to do a direct comparison to Fogo de Chao, but it is definitely a step below in terms of quality and ambiance, but it's also less expensive, so you get what you pay for. read more

We loved our visit a few weeks ago with our kids. It's a totally better deal than fogo de chao. I wasn't sure what the prices were if you wanted to bring leftovers home but there is for sure a charge. Which is unfortunate but there's always a catch to all you can eat places. My kids and i loved it. I had watched conflicting reviews on tik tok about the quality etc but maybe at a diff location. Because this location was wonderful. Minus the change of waitresses throughout our meal. Because the new waitress applied our coupon to our friend's bill and not ours. The Parmesan and garlic steak were absolutely delightful. The lamb was definitely not my favorite and my husband said he didn't care for the chicken hearts. But he tried it. Definitely cannot wait to go back! read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday and what a mistake! We were happy to see that they were participating in Restaurant Week as well. Although the gauchos serving meats were legitimately busy for a hectic Saturday service, our server pretty much could not do much right except keep offering to refill our water glass. I would give specifics over the course of the meal except they are too numerous to list here. Each time one occurred, we tried to overlook it but then she would do something else. If you know how this place works, there are several types of meats on a skewer that pass by each table for service. We asked for the select few ones we prefer and literally waited the whole meal service before finally getting the one we asked for to come by. I asked if I could just get our free desserts for the Restaurant Week meals in a box. Her response was they are half portions and we cannot do that. Keep in mind that they usually give a free dessert for your birthday. Did we get any of that? No! All of a sudden, when she brought the check, she decided to give me a free piece of cake that I didn't ask for nor select. By this point, what should have been a pleasant night out to celebrate my birthday had been really spoiled by all the times of being passed by and denied proper service. Even speaking to the manager, he had not one thing to say. Makes sense since even the manager on duty has zero customer relations or service recovery knowledge. We did not yell nor make a scene. Moral of the story: take your hard earned money and spend it at any of the other 200 restaurants participating in Restaurant Week and don't ruin your birthday by patronizing this place. Service has gone downhill a lot! read more

I've taken groups to this place twice now. The first time everyone had a great time. Service was brisk and place inviting and fun, the drinks flowed and the food very tasty. I think everybody liked the garlic steak the best. The second time unfortunately was not so good. The service was very slow. At one point I had to get up and start asking the servers to come over and serve our table because they had been away for so long. My guests were getting hungry. The drinks did not come until near the middle of the meal or even later. That was perhaps one of the more frustrating parts of the whole evening. I apologized and told them that normally the service is very good. I was pretty embarrassed. I think I might try a new place next time. read more

We took dad to this restaurant for his birthday. He had never been to a Brazilian grill before... needless to say it was an awesome experience. Very large buffet which they can continue to restock throughout the entire time we were there. Also, the gentleman serving meat came around constantly. We had to keep flipping on our do not serve to stop the meat from being served. I would say it's definitely an experience, but make sure you come hungry because there's lots of food. The food options are also very delicious and there's much to choose from for every pallet type. Even if you are vegetarian, you don't have to buy the option where they serve you meat you can just do the buffet. read more

We came here for our anniversary and I indicated that on our reservation, but no one said a word. Not sure why it's on the registration form if they're not going to even mention it. We've eaten at one of the other Brazilian steakhouses in the metro area before, so the process wasn't too much of a mystery. The salad and side dish bar was excellent and its where you start your meal. Be careful NOT to load up on all that, so you'll have room for the meat. I'm sure they would prefer that you eat more salad, but try to resist. All the meats (beef, pork, chicken, fish) roam the dining area and is portioned out by the servers. We tried several cuts of beef, fish and some pork sausage and ham. They also have big skewers of grilled glazed pineapple, which was very good. One of the varieties of beef (tenderloin?) was very tasty, but a little tough. The sirloin was very tender, but wasn't very savory. The fish (mahi mahi) was tasty, but "fishy" according to my wife. The ham was excellent and the pork sausage was just okay. We didn't try any of the chicken since we eat a lot of chicken at home ($). They have a full compliment of drinks as well. Service was pretty good, although it seemed scripted at times. Again, no mention of the occasion. It was generally a good experience, but of course, very expensive, so come hungry and with lots of money. read more

Have been coming here consistently since they first opened years ago, usually 2-3 times a year. It remains as one of our favorite restaurants in the valley! We have never had bad service here, and the gauchos are always prompt and friendly. Our usual favorites: the top sirloin, garlic beef, grilled pineapple, and the cheese bread! Limeades are always refreshing. Everything is consistently delicious and fresh. We often come here for celebrations with family. Last night we came to celebrate a double birthday (sign up for the birthday list if you can, you get a free meal ticket via email) and everything down to the dessert was amazing. Shoutout to Martha, Ilse, Key, Sheridan, and all the gauchos who made this birthday celebration even better. It can get a little loud inside but it's always a fun experience. Highly recommend (and go hungry)! read more

Every time we come here, I always tell myself I'm going to get less at the salad bar so that I have room for all the meat. Once again that did not happen. This place has a nice atmosphere with lots of wood and dividers of frosted glass with pictures etched on. There's a bar in the front with seating at the bar and a few tables. There is also a patio outside, but I don't know if that's used. This is a Brazilian steakhouse with a large salad bar. You can pay for just the salad bar, or the salad bar with the all you can eat meat served by "gauchos." When you're seated you receive a wooden block. One side is red one side is green - - if you would like the person serving meat to stop at your table, you make sure the green side is up. If you want them to pass you by you put up the red side. When you are done, you lie the block on its side. The salad bar is really, really good with lots of choices. There is a regular salad with toppings, but there are also a variety of pre-made salads like ceviche, grapes with blue cheese and walnuts, and spicy chicken salad. There is a hot bar to the side. We were there during brunch hours so there were some breakfast items included candy bacon which was delicious. It also had mashed potatoes and beef stroganoff - - I swear this is the best beef stroganoff ever. There are also delicious puffy Brazilian cheese bread. Then while you were at your table, someone comes to your table with different meats on a long skewer. You have it plate with small tongs and he will slice off the amount of meat you want onto your plate. When we were there, there were three people bringing out the meat skewers. While we were there, the gauchos served tri-tip, garlic sirloin, garlic parmesan beef, sausages, bacon-wrapped chicken, sweet and spicy chicken, chicken hearts, glazed ham, and grilled pineapple. Everything is so good, especially when you top it with the chimichurri that's available on the salad bar. I don't know how authentic the food is here, but I do know that I really like it. It's delicious! I always eat way too much here despite my plans to stop before I'm too full. There's never room for dessert, but the dessert tray looks pretty good. read more

Decent place, been there 3-4 times now and kids friendly. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure our experience was good. It does get busy and food sometimes reach late to your table, but we know each server could tend to few tables only at a time, and they tried. Now, let's talk about the food--variety of perfectly seasoned, juicy meats, fruits, salads, breads, pasta, rice. Every skewer brought to our table was better than the last, and the servers were super knowledgeable about each cut. The grilled pineapple was a favorite--sweet, caramelized perfection that balanced all the savory flavors. The salad bar was fresh and diverse, with plenty of options for everyone, and the sides complemented the meats perfectly. We especially loved the cheese bread--so addictive! It's definitely a spot where you leave feeling full and happy , including kids. Whether you're a meat lover or just looking for a fun, interactive dining experience, Rodizio Grill delivers. Will be back soon. read more

Hands down the best Brazilian Steakhouse there is in Arizona. The staff is super accommodating. The food is over the top delicious and there is so many different varieties. When we arrived we were sat immediately. The inside is very open and you can see the meat being cooked. The salad bar was the best with many different options from french fries to salad to ceviche to beans and rice to stew and french toast. I could go on about the salad bar. The meat always came out, hot, fresh, juicy and perfectly seasoned. If there was a particular meat we were waiting for, all we to do was tell the staff and the gaucho bought it in a jiffy. When you go, that brown sugar pineapple will change your life. It is by far the best!! This place is a MUST! read more

Came by to redeem the BOGO birthday deal! Love that they give you a 2 week window to use it. Normally $48.99/pp. Made a reservation and was seated within 5 minutes of waiting. Really friendly staff, especially the guys who go around with their cuts of meat. One guy was in training and he did a great job. There is a bar and lots of alcoholic options but it's also a casual and family friendly restaurant. There were a lot of families and kids on a Friday night. The meats are obviously what they are famous for - we particularly enjoyed the porks and beef cuts that didn't have cheese on em (those were a little too salty). Also the spicy chicken was sooo tender and good. Salad bar is decent - I enjoyed building my own salad rather than the premixed salads. Hot food bar was just OK. Husband didn't want to get sung to so we got the birthday flan to go haha. Flan was super creamy and yummy. Overall great service and decent food, would return. read more

Went for New years and had a pleasant time. The service was great, and our waitress was great at keeping our drinks coming and provided us a quick check out when we were finished. Speaking of drinks, I had one of the best piña coladas of my life. I had a whole pineapple filled with it plus a glass full of the "extra". It was so good. As far as the meats went, overall there were quite a few tasty meats. I prefer my meat on the rarer side, and they did have a few options for that, but it felt like there were a lot more well done options. Also, most of the meats were seasoned well, but not all of them. The highlight for me was the ham, great flavor and very juicy. I would go again just for all the options, but not everything was a winner. read more

I really like this Brazilian steakhouse. It has a very family-friendly field, which works great for my family. They have items that work great for my five-year-old as well as delicious meat cuts that accommodate the more refined palette. There pineapple that is shaved off the skewer was my little ones favorite dish. We love the fact that all of their buffet bar items are constantly refreshed with fresh servings. The Churrasco meats are my absolute fave and make it to my dreams. The pricing is very affordable. You definitely have to check this place out. read more

Went for Thanksgiving. Service was amazing and food was excellent. Love this restaurant for special occasions.

What a disappointment. Service was not good. Cleanliness was not good, food was average. Had to ask multiple times to have specific cuts brought to the table. Main server never came back to the table after I Initial greet. read more

Sun 12/1/24: I should have left 3 stars if it was just based off of our initial experience walking in...however, the food was delicious, my drink was yummy, and all the meat guys were energetic and cool (which I'll come back to) ... When we walked in, it was a little chilly and pretty quiet (while it was about 3:30 on a Sunday so only a third of the restaurant was occupied and the bar area). I was pretty upset that we stood at the front and didn't get greeted for over 3 minutes. Not by the bartender, other servers, nor the host. Had we not wanted to eat there really bad, I might have walked out upset. Especially because I saw the host lean out from the kitchen to peak up to the front and then proceeded to keep doing whatever she was doing for another minute. Neither here nor there, it's whatever. But I wasn't feeling very valued as a patron that day and I've worked in food+beverage for about 7 years including management so I'm pretty familiar. Transitioning to the dining experience, Brielle was sweet but she needs to improve her table maintenance and also a little better communication. She walked past our table many times and most of them, we had to say her name to get checked in on. My table maintenance comment had to do with the fact that we had empty or picked over plates that were either stacked or pushed to edge of table closest to walkway and she went by atleast 3x without picking them up until I finally got her attention to do so. There were only like 2 or 3 plates that could have been picked up (so not THAT many), but when you're at a table for two, the table can get pretty full, pretty fast... As we were nearing the end of our meal and getting pretty full... leads me to my shoutout, Josh was awesome, he noticed we were waiting for something in particular after a few minutes of passing on several meats so he asked us, then went to the kitchen, and let them know so the next person with that meat came almost directly to our table. Great job! Also, Deyon was nice as well. I can't remember any other of the guys names but they were all a pleasure. Overall, I will conclude it was a good experience. Just some tightening up necessary on a few things. PS- I forgot to take pictures of the meat till the END of the meal, as you can see.. I ate a lot of it already hehe read more

The food is good and the buffet area is kept clean and fully stocked. The meats are always juicy and flavorful. Pricing can be a bit step for some but I think it's worth it since you can get as much meat as you want and you can go to the buffet for sides as many times as you wish..

Best part of the evening was Kelsey our waitress! And of course, Joey our gaucho! Kelsey was very attentive and tried to make us happy. We forget how these places work and have decided they are not for us in the future. You make a reservation, but you are never seated close to that time. Even though the place is clearly over 50% empty. They try to manage seating to get the most people in. We were finally seated in an empty area in the corner. Slowly they added more people. Gauchos did not come into that area as they were always focused on a table of 10 people. Until we mentioned this to our waitress. They say all you can eat but the meats show up very slowly, so you fill up on salad and bread. This is normal too. We will not be coming back to this grill or any other Brazilian restaurant. read more
