    A Birthday I'll Never Forget, For All the Wrong Reasons. If I could give negative stars, I would…read more Save yourself from the embarrassment of this atrocity of a so-called "restaurant." Eight years ago, Rodizio was worth the visit. I returned on my birthday with my sister -- someone I hadn't seen in two years -- and it was the single worst restaurant experience of my life. The place was nearly empty on a Sunday evening, yet it hadn't been swept from corner to corner all day. It reeked of marijuana and mildew. The few guests present were visibly high, including our waitress. The salad bar was a disaster -- contaminated, uncleaned, and unsupervised all day. The meats were overcooked and extremely low quality (they've clearly switched to Sysco or whatever bulk supplier they're using now), sitting on the grill all day due to the lack of customers and still being served. The bathroom looked like a warzone -- water, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and a diaper covering every surface. Not from a rush. From a full day of absolutely zero maintenance, just like the salad bar. When I tried to use my birthday coupon -- the entire reason I chose this restaurant -- the manager informed me it didn't apply because it was a holiday. A policy mentioned to no one before we were seated, even after I raised it with the host. When I pushed back, she said there was nothing she could do. I asked again, since we were never made aware of it. She dismissed me -- cold and unapologetic. On my birthday. In front of family. I paid the full bill in silence and left humiliated. I've dined everywhere from hole-in-the-wall spots to high-end restaurants across multiple countries. This was the worst -- not just the worst value or worst food, but the worst experience in every possible way. I would've been better off with a cardboard burger from McDonald's. Walk past this place. Save your money, your time, and most of all, your dignity.

    Angel was a great server! Asked me if I needed anything. Brought me a good drink and their desserts…read morewere amazing. I would definitely co.e back here again. Lighting is night. Cold bar and hot bar had great options. Meat options were good too. On my list and easy to find.
