Rodizio Grill - Mesa

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.

Rodizio came highly recommended, and left us sorely disappointed. It started with our "6:45" reservation. Typically a reservation guarantees your mealtime, but not here. We weren't sat until 7:25, 40 minutes later. There were crowds of people outside, also waiting for reservations. They seriously overbooked. If we hadn't heard such great things, we would've left. We should've left. Once we were finally sat, we were hopeful. Our waitress Sheridan was a sweetheart, and very good at her job for being so young. We got food from the salad bar area and ordered our drinks. The bartender was the second major problem. I ordered a cocktail that was supposed to have gin, Passionfruit, mint, and soda. It did not have gin. I had my fiancé taste it, he also couldn't taste any gin at all, so we asked Sheridan for a replacement. The bartender told her that she put "a lot of alcohol" in it and wouldn't make a new one unless we paid for both drinks. I get that they were busy and she made a mistake, but to not own up to it was not okay. I didn't even want to keep the non-alcoholic cocktail, and Sheridan was kind enough to get it removed from the bill. I then ordered a glass of cava so as to not risk another cocktail, which I never received, for the entire rest of our dinner. We were there for about 2 hours in total. We were told the cava was delivered to the wrong table, and another just never made its way, so I never got a drink. The food was good, and our waitress was lovely, but unfortunately those were not worth the wait and the rudeness of the bartender. We won't be back.

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.

We went the day after valentine day and will never do that again lol. I felt like we didn't get to try everything since it was so busy. We had to wait for plates and food. The meat we did try such as sweet & spicy chicken, Parmesan chicken, and tri tip was good. Will be back on a normal day to try it again.

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.

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

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.

We literally come here just for the pina coladas haha however, NOAH AND ALVIN. If they opened a restaurant and their food was bad, I would still go. Friendly, helpful, funny are my choice words for Alvin the supervising bar tender and for Noah, super polite, great eye contact, and present. He was one of the gentleman that brought the different meats around and his service stick him out to us. Thanks guys! Oh, and obviously the food here is stellar. Upgrade to the full side bar and meats, you will not regret it.

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!

It was great and i was full when i left....my waiter an angle. The ppl were great,will definitely be coming back.
