Does not compare to any rodizo I been to. I was the severed the same meats three times before the 6th meat. Went just around 530pm on Monday. Maybe that was itS..No flavor but salt. Cmon I expected so much better. Im truly dissapointed. Best meat was top sirloin. read more

Stopped by for the first time during the restaurant week. My boyfriend and I were pretty excited to try this restaurant out but it turned out to be very disappointed. Food was just ok, what it really freaks us out was the service. I understand when it gets busy there's gonna be a little delay, but we were waiting for our check forever while our server just kept ignoring us. When finally he gave the check back to us, we were gonna remind him that we hadn't gotten our dessert that was included in the special menu for the restaurant week, but he just turned around immediately to other tables without saying any greeting or apologize. I don't think this is the way to take care of customers. Very bad experience. Definitely not gonna go back nor recommend it to other people. read more

The reason I gave 2 stars is the service. The service is quite good and compare to their colleagues at Texas de Brazil they are much nicer. However, the food quality is terrible. It looks like there's many choices for salad but it's not. And all the salads taste like just take out from refrigerator. And the meat is the worst. It's not fresh at all. And with that food quality they'll charge you $34.00 USD/person for dinner. I'd rather spend 15.00 more bucks at Texas de Brazil to enjoy the real nice quality food. Do not recommend this place. Won't be here again. read more

Okay, this is a place to avoid. Way, way too expensive for mediocre, at best, food. The meats were way over cooked and dry The full meat meal is $33 + drinks and desert are extra. For that price, you can go to a very nice place and get a very nice meal. On the other hand, if you like too much mediocre food at too high a price, then this is your place. read more

This place is amazing! The staff is for the most part great. The food is fantastic! The atmosphere is great. The reasoning for the 4 rating is due to the slightly high prices (however if you eat enough endless meat, you get your monies worth) & the parking situation is difficult but that can be because of the downtown location. Overall, great place w/ delicious food! read more

This was an exceptional experience at Rodizio Grill in Columbus. We were visiting for the weekend and this dinning experience was something we do not have on my city. The servers were a group of younger adults, all of which you could tell enjoyed their jobs. You get to interact with a large group of individuals, all of which were delightful. The food was outstanding, with 18 different meats to choose from. We were never waiting for a new type of meat to come to the table to sample. Salad bar, sides and dessert were all great as well. We will definitely be returning next year. read more

My gf took.me here for my birthday and I was not impressed nor was she at all not worth the price we paid although the pineapple was the best part of the meal and the limeade the food was not the greatested we won't be back read more

The concept is good - and Columbus needed a Brazilian Steakhouse. However, if you've dined at Fogo de Chao or Texas de Brazil, you'll immediately recognize how crummy this place is. Let me point out the good. The salad bar here is excellent. Lots of variety, and the sides are decent. Just decent. That's about it. There are lots of meat selections, if you can get them to come around often enough. And, they repeatedly come around with the lower-quality, cheaper meats. And, since they offer a "discount" Brazilian steakhouse experience, I guess that's what I should have expected. Do yourself a favor - go over Fogo or Texas de Brazil. I guarantee that if you do, you'll never return to this place. read more

Great variety of too-tough-to-eat meats. Chicken nuggets loaded with fat. Boring sides & salad bar. Great attentiveness by servers. Would definitely eat there again if I could order (and only pay for) only the grilled pineapple and dessert, but that's not offered in their business plan. If you got to ask the price, you can't afford it? No advance priced menu to say what came with the one price fits all. Surprise extra charge for dessert. Elegance with no value. read more

40 cows and pigs were killed in the making of this review and I enjoyed every one of them. I feel like I ate them all. Pricey, but good eats. read more

This place was awesome. Staff was attentive. They have many different meats, appetizers and sides to try. The bacon wrapped chicken and garlic beef are good. read more

Went for lunch on a Wednesday a little late (arrived at 1pm). Food was good...but not great. Certainly not worth $20+ including an iced tea. Also, the service was extremely slow when it came to drink refills and getting your check paid. If the meat is the same for dinner, I can DEFINITELY say it's not worth it. read more

Delicious choice for meat eaters! The salad bar had so many different unique things. The meat servers were all very nice and attentive. Don't go here if you don't have a sense of adventure and a big appetite! read more

I'm on a business trip and this is my first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse. I picked a good one! Every item was exceptional, and each bite was better than the last! Thomas was perfectly attentive and brought special treats; the cheese bread and bananas were fabulous. Dessert? This will not be the last time I have the Brazilian "doughnuts." Thank you! read more

The staffs were friendly, but the food is horrible. The meat has no taste and everything else was just super salty. The two of us and we ordered a mixed drink and a coke. Our bill came out to be almost 100 bucks after the 18% automatically added gratuity. It was a complete waste of my money. I would have rather go to Mitchell's steak house and have a decent steak and appetizer for the money that I've spent there.. read more

Even though we saw the negative reviews on yelp, we went ahead and tried Rodizio to celebrate with some friends. Sadly, our experience was consistent to the other reviews. Sub par service and the food was really hit or miss, there were several times when our meat was cold (because we were on the last rotation), and it seemed as the meat kept coming around slower, and slower as the night went on, so much so that we started asking where certain items were and were always told "they are somewhere around here"but they never came around (chicken hearts, ham and chicken was always around, just not the top quality meats that we went there for!). The worst was when we cut into our piece of Chicken and it was RAW! Even worse, when we brought it to the attention of our server, she couldn't care less. Feeding people raw chicken is not something to take lightly. Sadly, we won't be back nor would we recommend Rodizio to anybody, but if executed well, it could be a great experience. read more

My wife and I along with friends ate at Rodizio's on Friday, September 20, 2019. It was a very enjoyable experience. I have eaten at Texas de Brazil at Easton Town Center four times. I like Rodizio's better! The price was very reasonable (cheaper) and the food was outstanding. The gauchos that served us were very engaging which made the experience that much better. The owner came out and spoke with us to see how out dining experience was (great) and also served food to the patrons. He takes pride in his restaurant and wanted to make our experience there memorable. Overall, I would recommend eating at Rodizio's not only for price but for a great dining experience! read more

I had been to another Rodizio's location before, and was baffled as to why it had closed where I used to live because it was so good! I was excited to visit this one for a small celebratory dinner a few weeks ago and relive the experience. This Rodizio's was *nowhere* near as good as the one I had been to before. Our server was nice and also attentive. She came by to keep our drinks filled and make sure we were doing alright, and another server offered more bread a few times over the course of the meal as well. Still, the first fifteen minutes we had perhaps two meat servers come by, and we were hungry! The sides were very good and varied, but I wasn't trying to fill up on sides while waiting for the real food to come by. I found the selection of meats somewhat disappointing. As another reviewer mentioned, the pot roast was SALTY, and a few of the other cuts were a little oversalted as well. We also asked if there was any lamb going around and were informed that they were out of lamb. In all, I think what came by was the garlic beef, another kind of beef, rattlesnake sausage (yes, you are reading that correctly), one kind of chicken, chicken hearts, and two kinds of pork. All in all, not a large variety, especially when you consider that the rattlesnake sausage and chicken hearts are not appetizing to many people. In contrast, at the other location I had been to, I recall having been offered a variety of beef, chicken, and pork, and even amazing bacon wrapped scallops. I also found most of the meats to be overcooked, even when sliced from the center of the skewer. Most of the cuts I received were medium-well to well-done, when medium or medium-rare would be optimal in order to properly enjoy the meat. I know this is a matter of opinion, but the way they were cooked at the other Rodizio's I went to allowed for each skewer to have both well-done portions at the edges and more rare portions in the center, so you could choose the meat as you like it. There wasn't much choice here, and pretty much ever skewer that came by looked overcooked, even in the middle. That being said, the garlic beef was delicious and I got a portion both times the server came by with it. My boyfriend enjoyed the chicken hearts, though I don't think the rattlesnake sausage was actually any good -- after smelling it, I couldn't imagine actually trying it. The wild boar was also very good, which was a nice surprise as boar is often a bit funky. The bar of sides had a large variety, and I enjoyed the mashed potatoes and pasta salad. The pao de quejo is also a nice appetizer/side, and I was glad when they offered to refill the basket! My caipirinha was pretty good as well. Overall, I don't think I'll return to this Rodizio's again, though the staff were nice. The real star of the show is supposed to be the meat here, and it was lacking in both variety and quality. I've always referred to Brazilian steakhouses as "meat heaven," but this was definitely more like meat purgatory. Not bad, but not a particularly good experience either. I think we'll try another place next time we want the Brazilian steakhouse experience. read more

Went there with some friends and family and did not have a good experience. The salad bar was nice, but that's about where the good times stopped. The drinks were very average and not worth the price we paid for them. The meat seemed a little off all night. The best one was the Parmesan steak but it was still not great. All day the next day my stomach was upset, as were the others. One in our party told the waitress she was gluten intolerant and the waitress served her a cake, forgetting she was gluten free. We weren't upset with her, mistakes happen. But the manager marched over and handled everything so horribly and was very cocky and ignorant to people's health needs. We will not be going back. He ruined the entire experience. Tip: if someone consumes something they are allergic to, don't be an ass about it. Assume responsibility and move on. Two stars because I felt bad for the waitress that works for this man and the salad was good. read more

I have to admit. I'm not a meat eater. But I'm sure my husband made for that. I loved the grilled pineapple.

Favorite steakhouse so far. The food is amazing, so much variety and flavor. Customer service is also over the top. Definitely recommend.

This was a really fun experience for a date night out. My husband is a meat lover so he really enjoyed getting loaded up on the fresh carved meats at the table, brought around by the men with large knives. I am decidedly NOT a meat lover, so I saved money and got the "salad" bar - but don't be fooled. Much more than salad and it was a huge meal. We both left extremely stuffed. Service and food were both really great. read more

Meats are really good the salad/sides are lacking. I'd go for lunch to save money because chicken Alfredo isn't Brazilian food and that's offered as a side. read more

I love Brazilian steakhouses. This 1 is decent. The dining room is someone challenging if crowded. Service was okay at best. Worth trying I suggest stopping in. read more

Was wandering the Arena District over the weekend, and ended up going in for lunch. Having no clue what the concept was, we felt a bit like deer in the headlights when the hostess seated us and the waitress explained the concept. We quickly caught on and dug in though. The salad bar was top notch- I personally wouldn't even consider it a salad bar because it had a variety of cold sides and very little salad beyond a few greens, and a crab/seafood salad. The pastrami was perfectly sliced and seasoned, the rice and beans went well with the meat from the roaming carvers. The only thing I wasn't crazy about from the salad bar were the dressings that the server brought us. It was early afternoon and lunch rush had not started so they were training new employees on how to offer and carve the meats which ranged from a grilled chicken to tri tip steak and chicken hearts with lime or a grilled pineapple. Being one of 6 couples in the restaurant it seemed as though the carvers were stopping by every time we turned our head, but once we'd tried everything it was eaiser to pick and choose what we wanted and not be overwhelmed. The pork sausage was interesting because it tasted like straight pork in a casing with no seasonings, the pot roast was well, a pot roast and honestly nothing special, but the tri tip steak was rare and juicy, the chicken hearts were crispy and limey, the grilling of the pineapple brought out the sweetness. Our only complaint was our server brought me the wrong type of soda (regular coke vs. diet) and was almost too attentive. She was very nice and explained the concept well, but being told to enjoy our meal a dozen times was a bit much. But overall, there was a nice variety of both unusual and common foods, a gorgeous atmosphere of mostly dark woods, an extensive drink menu , the service was excellent though the server could have stopped by less frequently, and we will defnitely be back. read more

What can you say about endless meats? Chicken, Turkey, Beef, plus grilled Pineapple, Pot Roast, a salad bar with some of the best greens around, I think they might even have vegetables here. read more

A meat buffet that comes to you! The chicken hearts creep me out, but everything else I've had here is amazing

Delectable. Lunch is ~18. Hits with me were the sweet and spicy chicken, bacon-wrapped turkey, the beef stew, and some of the beef cuts. I'm a big fan. read more

It was good but not memorable. I've been to different Brazilian restaurants and have had better. The dessert was the best part.

First time visiting a Brazilian steakhouse and I absolutely loved my experience. The Full Rodizio was a great price considering the amount of food they serve. Meat is served so frequently it's almost overwhelming but we thoroughly enjoyed. Service was amazing. read more

Not a bad place you'll get full sooner than you realize make sure to try the brazilian greens!!

My friend and I stopped at Rodizio for dinner before the Columbus Marathon, It was so awesome we went back directly after the race to re fuel. I absolutely loved Rodizio, The staff is amazing and the food was the best I have had at a Brazillian Steakhouse. Did i tell you how great the servers, bartenders and owner are? Well I cannot say enough how welcome they made us feel and how they took care of us. And the food - WOW. Just terrific, I wish I lived in Columbus so I could go there more often!! Thanks, Rodizio! read more

All 19 cuts of meat were so delicious. I have never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse before and this was an AWESOME first experience! Service was impeccable S/O to Brady he was the best :) quality exquisite, atmosphere was the perfect mixture of native Brazil with a flare of high taste. You need to go and try this out!!! read more

If you haven't signed up for Club Rodizio, you are missing out! They sent a coupon for a free dessert for my birthday, which was on a Friday, so we went for lunch that day. I normally don't get dessert, since I stuff myself with the variety of foods from the salad bar; my husband gets the full Rodizio, so he never has room for dessert, either! However, since it was a gift, I chose the cheesecake. Oh my gosh! It was the best piece of cheesecake I have ever had! So creamy and delicious! Of course, the rest of our meals were fantastic, as usual. It was nice to see that one of our favorite servers, Mike, has moved into a management position, and we know he will be perfect for that. Also, as usual, we had incredible service from Richard, Matt, Haley and Julianna, to mention a few. And, Justin is still playing great music, which is at just the right volume to not be disturbing. Thank you, again, Rodizio, for a wonderful birthday experience! read more

As I have always promised, I will always give a follow-up review just to make sure my original review was fair and accurate. My wife, daughter and I visited the Rodizio Grill on 11/17, the night of a major concert by Justin Timberlake (just across the street at Nationwide Arena) and it was so busy and my review was not kind. What made my review negative was the fact that they had so much advance notice of the concert but failed to have the adequate staff for that evening. I said in my review of this restaurant that the staff was not prepared for the number of customers thus the customers did not receive the proper level of service. If you want to read the details of my original review please read below. But.........I never judge a restaurant on only my first visit. I always give the restaurant a second visit and only then do I give my final assessment of the restaurant. We made our follow-up visit on 12/5 and invited one of Columbus's most recognized entertainers and his guest to join us. I am not a name dropper so you will have to just guess. Our waitress was awesome all night long. The carvers "Gauchos" were available and always at our table with a variety of meats. My personal favorite was the applewood bacon wrapped turkey. To die for. The salad bar , as other reviewers have said, were just OK, nothing spectacular. So my end review for the Rodizio is 4 Stars, only because of the awesome service by our service staff, the food gets a 3 star rating. read more

Came in for lunch with carnivorous son. It was ok. Neither as festive or tasty as other restaurants of this ilk that I have tried. If faced with the craving again, I'd probably go with a competitor. Maybe it's better at dinner? read more

Dinner was an excellent experience with great service, food, and beverages. If you are feeling carnivorous, eat here. Be warned, $35 for an adult (all you can eat meat and salad bar). read more

We went on a Saturday night with a large group celebrating a wedding anniversary and had a GREAT time! The staff was very fun and enhanced the celebration we were having. On top of all that, the food was OUTSTANDING! We had 3.5 hours of FUN at Rodizio. A great manager and staff! Thanks for making our night special! read more

Service was slow .. Especially with the meat servers .. Fogo de chao is still I think the best brazillian steak house.. I wouldn't go back here again .. read more

Interesting setting where servers walk around to offer food selection. They have good barbeque and grills, but the salad bar isn't as good. It's a nice alternative if the line in front of bd's barbeque is too long for you! read more
