Rodizio Grill

Went last night for Family Date Night during Baconfest for my husbands birthday. Most of the meats that they brought around were excellent but they seemed to be pushing some of the other meats that were not as delicious. The garlic beef was way too garlicky, more pungent than needed. They also had chicken hearts and pork sausage that they seemed to be trying to push. We definitely enjoyed Baconfest as it was a delightful change to their normal menu. Also they had some additions to the salad bar that I had not seen before. The BLT salad was very good as was the mozzarella salad. My favorite salad bar addition was the pineapple coconut salad. Service was very prompt however we had to send the check back multiple times to be corrected. We had two young children that didn’t eat anything as they are picky and we had brought sandwiches and cheezits for them and were charged for both. They also charged us for my husband, and as I said it was for his birthday, and he is a member of the Rodizio club and so his dinner should have been free. Overall the dinner was very delicious but it was very straining to have to keep checking the bill each time they brought it out to ensure it was correct. Would have received 4 stars if we weren’t over charged multiple times.

Food was fine and they catered nicely to my wife who is allergic to gluten. I wouldn’t say the meats where particularly amazing though.

Server were so nice and service was terrific. Make sure you come hungry because everything is delicious.

Unfortunately, I have not been thrilled the last two times here. I was a big fan when they first opened but it seems like the quality has consistently diminished over time. The salad bar is mediocre at best. Service from the wait staff has remained decent and the gauchos are usually quick to bring dishes to the table and are always willing to take requests. In the end, though, I don’t think it’s worth the price of admission.

This place is amazing, great atmosphere and amazing food. Better prices than Braza and it’s the same concept. I WILL be back!

Delicious food, attentive service, slightly cramped space. Will go again.

Out with the family on a Friday night. First time ever at a Brazilian establishment. Super friendly service. All the staff was amazingly courteous, especially Alicia our waitress. The salad bar was superb with about 25 – 30 cold options and a dozen hot choices. The protein parade did not end. Wow. My faves were the tri-​tip, parmesan encrusted pork, beef brisket, glazed ham, chargrilled pineapple and bacon wrapped chicken. Ended the evening with a crème brûlée. A pleasant evening.

Great service, very nice servers. Food was excellent, with a little salad bar that has a lot to offer. Many different types of salads including a garbanzo bean salad which was great. The steak is the best!

My 2^nd time there and both times were sucky. I been to Fogo and Chima both awesome. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. The hostess was out on cloud 9 thinking of unicorns sad to say. The servers who cut the meat must of worked at a deli. Be cause they would cut the meat so thin and give you so little. It was actually funny. I had to say something to the one, «really man» like you do work for tips and your tips going to be as thin as the meat you serve. But anyway save your money go to Philly. I won’t ever go back.

This place is good if you don’t want to trek over the bridge to Philly. The salad bar area is soo small and barely anything to offer on its own that you are practically forced to eat the ‘all you can eat meat’ style. I give 3 stars for this.
Service was overall good nothing to complain here.
The food is not as good as Fogo de Chao, but it is alright for the local area.

We tried this restaurant because of a decent Groupon deal. Front desk/​hostess could’ve been more welcoming. Once we were seated, however, waitstaff & service was excellent. The guys were very attentive and polite. Food was great! Everything from ham, different types of chicken, steak, pork and even whitefish was very flavorful. The various choice kept coming so fast it was hard to keep up! The salad bar was well stocked as well including potato salad, Mac and cheese, black beans, soup, vegetables, etc. We felt this was a great value and a wonderful experience. We would definitely return.

Drinks were watered down & expensive. The salad bar needs work. There were a few chicken morsels I liked but most of the beef lacked flavor, and a lot of it was tough… not going back…

The meat was under seasoned. Every piece of meat was bland and needed salt. I get that it is cheaper than its competitors, but in the end you get what you pay for-​bad quality cuts of meat without any seasoning.
The restaurant is also poorly managed. We arrived on time for our reservation, but waited 30 minutes to be seated. From reading the other reviews, it seems this is normal. The tables are also packed together and the setting is very impersonal.
The saving grace for this place was the drinks. We got a Limeade and a Batida. The limeade is basically lemonade with condensed milk– delicious… The Batida was frothy and smooth and the perfect balance between coconut and milk. It is also a must get. All and all I would only return with a groupon otherwise it is just not worth it, I would rather spend a little bit more at one of its upscale competitors.

«The Olive Garden of Brazilian Steakhouses,» is pretty much a spot on description of this place.
The good:
— Its cheaper than say a, Fogos or Na Brasa
— There are many more meat options walking around
— Its a little less buttoned up, so you can relax
The bad:
— Its cheaper because its nowhere NEAR as good. The salad bar is seriously a joke compared to the big boy steakhouses. The offerings at Rodizio were sub par at best, and in the case of a few items, downright terrible. The mac and cheese at the salad bar was some of the worst I’ve EVER eaten.
— While there ARE more meat options, there aren’t very many GOOD meat options. Seriously, there were many things to choose from; sausage, brisket, bbq chicken, parmesan lamb, glazed ham, chicken hearts, bbq chicken, bacon wrapped turkey, bbq ribs, sirloin, pineapple, etc, etc. The problem was, most of them weren’t that good. The steak choices were fatty and underseasoned and seriously came out few and far between. The chicken dishes were almost all fatty thigh meat. The lamb was overcooked to the point of being inedible. The only STANDOUTS, were the brisket (although it was literally COLD, ugh) and the pineapple, which Fogos needs to incorporate IMMEDIATELY. Grilled pineapple is seriously a great idea, and hands down the best offering at Rodizio… a Brazilian STEAKhouse.
I think it was a little more expensive than what it should have been. Waitstaff was fine, and the guys cutting the meat were very polite and constantly moving, so getting enough food wasn’t a problem. One thing that WAS annoying was that they pull out this drum to sing for peoples birthdays (which is super tacky IMHO), and it happened FIVE times during our dinner.
I think gluttonously eating endless amounts of meat should only be for special occasions anyway, so if you’re going to do it, you might as well pony up the few extra bucks and do it for real at Fogo De Chao or Na Brasa.

I was set to have my husbands’ 40^th birthday party at your location with 20 — 25 people but after calling and speaking to a manager your «policies» have made us feel very unwelcome. I have a 5 year old daughter with dairy, peanut and tree nut allergies and we were told that we could not bring in our own cake to celebrate my husbands birthday because of the concern that if someone got sick they wouldn’t know what got them sick… I just want you to know that we didn’t choose to have a child with food allergies, but we will ALWAYS choose a restaurant that will allow my child to have a slice of cake on their Daddies 40^th birthday. Perhaps if your policies were not created with the intent to just generate more money, and that they were open to manager discretion, you might find that you actually generate more money…

It’s cool to try at least once, but most likely not again. I was invited last minute by someone with a Groupon. Ok. lets see how it is.
It’s basically a faux-​Fogo De Chão, considerably cheaper and the quality of meats aren’t as great. Some of the red meats were bland, but the sirloin and few other meats were good or just okay. I liked the grilled pineapple, even more so accompanied with the glazed ham. Unfortunately, no fish was being served. Polenta just looked and tasted greasy and other appetizers didn’t hit the mark for me.
I am not a fan of the fake display of desserts glued to a tray. They may have been good, but it seemed tacky enough that I didn’t feel like ordering. I want to be presented with actual desserts to be desired.
No complaints about service, other than our waitress seemed slightly pushy towards the end of the night around closing time.
Come for the experience, but I wouldn’t come again even with a Groupon. You also get free limeaid drinks with your meal. Yeah, no thanks.

Came to a Unilocal event on 06/​28/​2015. I refused to anything because the plates were dirty with old crusty food on the plates. If the appearance of the plates are dirty. I cannot and will not trust the food…

Have to start that I have been to 2 steakhouses in Brazil, in Rio and in the Amazon, so I might be a little jaded. However, all 6 of us were excited about visiting this location. Disappointed, service was acceptable, but the food was only somewhat better than fast food. Will not go back.

it’s ooook~ kinda hyped up IMO
my favorite ones were the ham, bacon and meat, their grilled white fish and the roasted pineapple! can’t go wrong with those~ as for the steak, i wasn’t big on the seasoning– tasted strange to me probably because i was expecting it to hit the sweet spot like a traditional steak.
service was ok– if you don’t see the thing you want, you can always wave down your waitress and ask for it. after all, you’re paying for the whole menu, right?
the salad bar was alrite~ a lot of starch and pre-​made salads. their ceviche was not bad~ def give it a try. but be careful not to get filled up with rice/​pasta/​bread– otherwise you won’t get your money’s worth at a AYCE! lol
i’m not too interested in returning. but it’s ok once in a while.

I was just here on Super Bowl Sunday for their full brunch menu. Brunch. the boyfriend also said we were going to «brunch» — would you really consider steak bunch though?!
Their salad bar and appetizer selections was very limited. They did bring us Banana Frita and PÃO DE QUEIJO (Brazilian cheese bread made with yucca flour and cheese). I might have liked the PÃO DE QUEIJO more if I tried it as soon as it came out — maybe. I just know I didn’t like it cooled off.
When we got there, there was only 1 other table finishing up so for a while we were the only table there so when our little thinger-​migger was on green they meat just kept coming! There were so many and I don’t know what most of them was but I know the Glazed Ham and Grilled Pineapple was my favorite. Put them together and it’s even better!
There is a dessert tray they bring to you when you are done with the meat. One person got the Brazilian Crème with strawberry while the rest of us got the yummy CRÈME BRÛLÉE. I wonder if anyone ever get dessert and decide they want more meat?
Oh yeah! They have many emergency exit doors that will keep pointing you to the front door! Hahah
The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was nice but I would like to see a wilder selection for the salad bar and appetizer in the future. I don’t know if there is another bar in the back but if not, that area would be VERY crowded when they restaurant is full.
