We had a terrible experience at another similar restaurant last Mother's Day, but the experience here was totally different. The GM was present and active, checked on everything personally and we were treated with respect and kindness the whole night. It was a special night for us: both Mother's Day for my partner, and her daughter's 21st birthday. Our server Carmela was a star. It was a busy night, but she made certain we were taken care of. They even put chicken hearts on the fire for us, something my Brazilian partner and her daughters look forward to. The food was of course great, but it was the service that made it special. This is such a better experience than competing restaurants. We will come back here again for special events, because the staff went above and beyond and that means something to me. Thank you so much for the lovely evening and we will see you again soon. read more

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This was actually our second choice because our first restaurant was booked, but we're so glad we ended up here. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which we really appreciated. We each ordered the option that included meats, the salad bar, and hot sides for about $51 per person (drinks and dessert were extra). There were plenty of choices and everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. I could easily see myself coming back during lunch and just enjoying the salad bar and sides as a meal. I didn't take many photos because we were enjoying the moment celebrating, but we did share the cinnamon churro with ice cream for dessert and it was a great way to end the meal. While we were there, we also saw a couple of birthday celebrations where the staff came out playing drums and singing, which added a fun, lively atmosphere. Great service, great food, and a great experience overall. We would definitely come back. read more

Came to check this place out. They have some good options for the salad bar. Love the small cheese balls. Also their meats are very flavorful and glad they are more cooked than fogo. Love this place more than fogo de chao. The meats I loved was the Steak Parmesan and the spicy chicken. The ham was good too. You were able to get how much mash potatoes and Alfredo and salad you want. Love the big glasses of water and soda. read more

When they charge premium prices for a typical Buffet with no atmosphere, sub par staff and flavorless sides... the waits were so long for meats it was ridiculous.... 0/10 do not recommend! read more

Tried Rodizio grill for lunch on a weekend and we had a great experience. Even with the lower price point i believe the meats were better than the other competitors that i have tried. Ana was our server and she was great with explanations and recommendations. Will definitely be back. read more

Well I did go back and Jess, Dan, Tony, Jasmine, Ryan, Brandon Emma, Emmanuel and Frank, all took care of us. We not only take advantage of a great salad bar with the hot cheese bread bites but the flavor of the meats were great. We had chicken cooked a couple of different ways. Also pork, I really did enjoy the ribs. I really liked the Parmesan steak and the bacon wrap steak, those are my two favorites But I was super excited to get the grilled pineapple and it succeeded my flavor expectation. Thank y'all for taking such good care of us and making our experience there fun. I WOULD RECOMMEND read more

Two visits just enough to put this review to rest. Plus: Location is solid with plenty of parking. Selected hot dishes, including "bread puffs" are available as part of the buffet line. Negatives: Food is salty beyond belief. Rotation of meats going around seems to be the same cut 50% of the time and the balance of the time mixed bag of semi edibles. The sausages were the best part of the protein options, which is a head scratcher when you are paying this $$$ for dinner. Service is a mixed bag and first time was decent, second not so much. Overall: Is it possible to have the meat cooked properly? One side is well done and the other is rare. So at no point are you getting meat served at a requested temp. Some of the meat cuts were not chewable. Again, at this price point need some work. read more

Came by on a Saturday evening. Fairly busy, but we were promptly seated. Similar setup to other Brazilian steakhouses. We had a great server who recommended decent drinks to start. Made our way to the self serve area and appreciated how nicely everything was laid out with plenty of options. Once we were ready for the protein fest, we flipped our wooden block over to green to indicate we were hungry! I did notice that options came by more frequently than other similar establishments. Quite easy to over do yourself; we were full until dinner the following day! Overall, a good experience that will bring us back again. read more

Had an amazing experience at Rodizio Grill tonight! The food was fantastic, but what truly made our evening special was the outstanding service from Lennon. Even during a very busy night, he was incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating to us while we were managing a fussy baby. He went above and beyond to make sure our family felt comfortable and welcomed. Exceptional customer service like that is hard to find. Thank you, Lenon, for turning what could have been a stressful night into a wonderful dining experience. read more

Amazing experience at the Rodizio Grill! We love Brazilian steakhouses but have not found a great one since moving to Scottsdale, but this was IT! Excellent and authentic salad bar offerings, and the rodizio meats were so delicious. We loved the Parmesan steak and Parmesan chicken in particular but everything was great. Love that the pão de queijo was available in the salad bar because I could get several :) EXCELLENT service too! Will be back! read more

My wife and I and a friend went there thanksgiving day, we just had the salad bar and that was amazing. I definitely recommend it. We will be going back for the full experience. read more

I have been waiting for this restaurant to open for a long time. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing, service great and the ambiance open and inviting. Plan ahead to not eat much before your dinner here. You're just about guaranteed to get the meat sweats! read more

We were there for my birthday and everything was great! The steak was very flavorful, different kinds of shrimp. Great salad bar too.

As someone who is a Fogo de Chao rewards member, I had never tried Rodizio before. I decided as a celebration for my recent promotion to give them a try. I placed reservations and when I entered I was seated immediately. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The meat guys were quick and made sure you had enough meat before leaving. There were so many more sides than Fogo has. The options were awesome. The pineapple was amazing! Overall, I feel that Fogo is a little more fancier with their white tablecloth service and atmosphere. Rodizio is a little more pricier with more options. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. read more

Rodizio Grill - North Scottsdale: A Disappointing Start I really wanted to like this place. As a fan of Brazilian steakhouses and someone who lives nearby, I was excited to try Rodizio Grill in North Scottsdale during its first week of opening. Unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired as compared to their mesa location. While the food itself was literally either burnt or raw and as for the service and overall atmosphere were disappointing enough that I wouldn't recommend a visit. From the moment we were seated, the experience felt disorganized and impersonal. Our server, while doing her best, seemed under-supported so much so she didn't even know where the other location was as we frequent that one. The biggest letdown, though, was the manager's attitude. When issues with our meal arose, the manager addressed them in the most indifferent way possible. No apology, no warmth, and certainly no sense that customer satisfaction mattered. He seemed more concerned with just getting through the night than with making guests feel welcome , not the kind of first impression you want from a brand-new location. To their credit, they did comp the entire meal, nearly $114 which you can see in the attached receipt. But honestly, that didn't fix the feeling that we were just a number to them. A comped meal doesn't mean much if the overall vibe is cold and disconnected with a night ending at in-n-out. Hopefully they work out the kinks, because right now, Rodizio Grill - North Scottsdale is not living up to the experience its name promises. Stomach pain ensues, hope I don't get sick because I feel nauseous! read more

Saturday evening reservation for Restaurant Week, we were seated just after our arrival. Unfortunately, we were seated just on the other side of a half wall that separates the lobby from the dining area. Making it rather drafty. The server got our drink orders, gave us our drinks, and then we didn't see the server for a good while. We did get the Full Rodizio. The floor near our table was dirty from the time we were seated. Apparently, when it's someone's birthday the staff comes out with a drum and sings. Six people had birthdays during our visit. The piña colada was good, but it does have ice cream in it. So, if you're abstaining from ice cream don't order it. The passion fruit limeade was entirely too sour. By the time the server came by again to actually check on us it had watered down and we didnt even bother to ask for them to make a new one. The meats tasted well overall, they don't ask how you want it cooked, so we received some medium rare, some medium, some well done. The glazed pineapple is good. The salad bar had a good variety to choose from. read more

Great atmosphere, respectful hostess and waitstaff. Food was overrated, not not as tasteful as I expected was just cooked on a sword and seasoned. The worst part was hiking up the price for for Mother's Day forcing the customer to pay for the same food and service as any other day. read more

We frequent Fogo de Chao often, so we were happy that a new Brazilian Steakhouse opened closer to us. We were excited to try it and went in with an open mind. Unfortunately, we were not pleased with our experience. Our waitress took our order, we just ordered waters and the salad bar which was supposed to come with their sides. That was the only and last time we saw our waitress. Our waters were on the table when we got back from our first trip to the salad bar. We never got those sides nor any water refills. We made 2 trips to the salad and our 4 plates were stacked on our small table the whole time and finally a different server took the plates well after we were finished. The table next to us had a different waitress who checked on them numerous times. Again, we only saw our waitress once the entire time. The general manager stopped at our table to ask how everything was and we informed her about our service. The manager was great and took care of us. We only tried the salad bar and to be honest, it was subpar. We will not be returning. read more

Amazon customer service. Very thorough in explaining the style of the restaurant. Food was amazing. Shoutout to Xiomara, Lennon and Julianna for making our first experience phenomenal. read more

A 5-Star Experience at Rodizio Grill: Salad Bar, Service, and Standout Hospitality Rodizio Grill is known for its sizzling meats, but what truly surprised me during my visit was the incredible "Wonderful Meets the Wonderful" salad bar. Far more than just greens and toppings, this was a curated spread of fresh vegetables, flavorful pastas, marinated delights, cheeses, and tropical extras--all vibrant, well-prepared, and impossible to ignore. It's not a side dish--it's a feature. I went back for seconds and thirds before the meat even started coming around. Just as impressive as the food was the service. Tatum, our server, was fantastic. She struck the perfect balance between friendly and professional, guiding us through the Rodizio experience with ease. She had great recommendations, perfect timing, and a genuine energy that made the whole night feel special. You could tell she cared--and that kind of service is rare. Then came Tony, the owner. He didn't just wave from a distance--he stopped by, introduced himself, and actually connected with us. He asked about our experience, shared a bit about the restaurant, and made us feel like more than just another table. Tony is personable, passionate, and a true host. His leadership and pride in Rodizio shine through in every detail, from the food to the vibe to the people. The atmosphere was warm and lively, the space was spotless, and everything ran like clockwork. While the meats were fantastic--as always--it was the salad bar, the service, and the hospitality that took this experience from good to unforgettable. Rodizio Grill gets it right--start to finish. Five stars. read more

This place is terrible, avoid if you don't want to throw up all night, my family of five got food poisoning, the chefs cannot cook at all, they do not have the talent for it, they should just quit their day job, the meat especially the chicken was under cooked-still pink meat in the middle of it, I'm just ssssoooo upset, I want to walk back into that restaurant and scream at everyone in there who works there at the top of my vocal cords enough to vibrate their windows, I am seriously thinking about it and what they don't know is that I am crazy enough to do it too, but I think I'll restrain myself for now because I know karma will eventually catch up with them. They will reap what they sow if they refuse to improve their environment! read more

It was a great experience. I've been to the Mesa one too, and they're both great. I love that there's a salad bar, because I like a little salad and fruit when I'm about to get the "meat sweats" followed by the subsequent food coma that comes after I get home. I love the CAIPIRINHA! I was just going to have one, then switch to something else, but I ended up having 4 of them! They are very addictive. The service was great, and our server, Ana, was very attentive and took good care of us. There was a little weirdness with the tab, because my GF was paying with trade dollars, and with the tip, tax, and all that, but in all fairness, that was not her fault; the managers had to come in and straighten it out. It was more of a reconciliation thing with the cashier. But we had a good time, and the food and drinks and desserts, and service were all great. I'm sure we'll do it again. read more

Rodizio Grill is hands down one of our favorite places to eat! The food is always amazing and consistently fresh. My kids range in age from one to 18, and somehow every single one of them absolutely loves coming here. Our server Ryan always goes above and beyond, making every visit feel special. Jess, the manager, is incredible. She keeps everything running seamlessly and makes sure guests are taken care of from start to finish. Between the great atmosphere, fantastic service and food that never disappoints, it is no wonder this has become our go to spot. Highly recommend Rodizio Grill if you are looking for a place the whole family can enjoy! read more

Excellent service Great food and selection of meat. However, know that they don't have filet or ribeye. They have lamb steak but not lamb chops. Otherwise, good. Wanna add that they honor reservations well. The atmosphere is not as loud as other Brazilian steaks in the valley.. read more

I had a very early reservation which may have factored in the low crowd level and quietness. Prior to dining here, my only prior experience with a "Rodizio" style restaurant was Fogo De Chao, which I believe I've also reviewed. While both Rodizio Grill and Fogo are comparable establishments and both are certainly ones to which I would and will return, if having to choose I would give a modest overall edge to Rodizio. I believe Fogo's salad bar has somewhat more offerings; however, I enjoyed more of the selections at Rodizio. I especially liked the use of coconut in at least two or three of their salad bar offerings including the cole slaw, and the berries-and-coconut item easily qualifies as a dessert in its own right. The meat selection was also very good, especially their "specialty" meat; however, many of the cuts served include the charred outer portion which I did not care for having to cut away. Again this might also have been because of having an early reservation and getting more of the first outer carvings. One area in which I give the edge to Fogo over Rodizio is in the size of the tables. At Rodizio, the table surface areas are very small with only room for a single plate per person at any given time. You're not going to be able to have a salad plate and meat plate in process at the same time. However, to their credit, the server was always extremely quick and responsive to remove dirty plates, so the small table size was not really a major issue. Service was absolutely fantastic. The server was very prompt to remove all dirty dishes, and the meat servers were always readily available when the green symbol was up. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for Rodizio. read more

You've got to come here hungry! The salad bar is awesome, they bring you so many different meats, even chicken hearts which I totally recommend! The piranha meat is my favorite and the pineapple melts in your mouth! read more

Dined on 9/6/25: we had dinner with 2 other couples. We've eaten at other Brazilian Steakhouses (Fogo de chao & Serra Gaucha). Our server was very nice and attentive (constantly refilling our drinks w/o being asked). The "salad buffet" options of the meal is very good. The selections and options are better than Serra but not Fogo. The quality was better than Serra but not as good as Fogo. The different selections of meats were more than Serra and similar to Fogo. All the varieties of steaks are very tasty and well seasoned. There were a few chicken options that were dryer or over-cooked. The glazed pineapple is very yummy. We tried 3 desserts and all are very good. There were a few birthday party celebrations but the noise level was low and easy for conversation. read more

Delicious salad bar and great service both times we ate there. The meat was also very good. Will order it again.

Well, my meal was good, I don't believe it is better than another Brazilian steakhouse in the valley. I would go back.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent!! One of my favorite places to go for dinner.

Had a wonderful experience at lunch. Our party of 6 had a great time including a birthday celebration. Stacy, the Gouchos and Ana took care of use. Outstanding! read more

First of all service was excellent. The salad bar was good. Not as good as Fogo De Chao. The only meat that seemed marainated enough was the flank steak. The lamb was over-cooked. The meats were good, not great. The overall experience was nice, but I'm definitley taking my gf to Fogo De Chao to see how she compares the two experiences. The service, flank steak and the creme brulee (extra$) were the BEST parts of our dining experience here. read more

I went this week, it was just ehh. The seating felt rushed and it was crowded like we were on a bus! Food was okay.. salad bar isn't amazing but meat was good. I would recommend more room and friendliness. Overall 5/10. Plus little disability access read more

Everything was so yummy. Ryan was amazing and our server Illiana was so awesome. We loved everyone. 10" Recommend to Family and Friends.

I've been to all the Brazilian Steak houses around town now and years ago. I would be considered a true "Foodie" within anyone's definition. Here their salad bar is fair to good. Just enough options to view it as a salad bar: however, some of the flavors I'm accustomed to fall short. The meat selection is good, with an overall meat flavor profile the same with most meat temperatures at medium well to well. The service has always been flawless the 3 times I've been there. Not great compared to others in town, but not too bad. read more

Loved and can't wait to go back again. The spicy and sweet chicken was my favorite. Excellent staff and service
