Tonight I had an early business dinner at Rodizio Grill in Dania. Since it was just the two of us, we felt it would be a better experience than going to the nearby Outback Grill. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Practically all the meats arrived at our table well done...so well that they were over cooked. We asked for medium rare temps and even though the servers said they would check with the kitchen, they would never return. They tended to bring the same four types of meats, the sirloin, the bacon wrapped chicken, the chicken hearts and the flank steak. I know there were many other cuts, but they never made it to the table. The grilled cheese also never made it to the table. Perhaps the most shocking incident was the splattering of meat fat on my shirt by one of the servers. While he apologized, there was no effort by management to offer to have the shirt cleaned...not required, but it would have been nice. To wrap up our meal, my dining companion ordered a cheesecake and I ordered a coffee. My coffee was so lukewarm that it was undrinkable. Our original waiter disappeared so I couldn't even ask for a replacement coffee. Upon leaving, I asked for the manager Christland Juarez...just to give constructive feedback. Instead the supervisor on duty came to the front and while he was nice...he was so timid that he didn't know what to say or do. Frankly I felt bad that I even brought it up. Below is a picture of the shirt. If you are expecting a Fogo or Texas de Brazil experience, Rodizio Grill just doesn't make the cut. read more

Comida deliciosa, el lugar muy lindo y el servicio por parte de Omar excelente! 10/10

So, it took me about a week or so to leave this review because I was (and still am) SO upset that we paid over $100 to leave this restaurant WITHOUT eating. It also took me a week because I felt bad leaving a bad review because the servers were very nice and they honestly tried their best to bring us some meat that was edible. Apparently the grill "masters" don't last long enough at the job for patrons to enjoy good food. According to one of the servers the turnaround is so frequent that they quit right after they finish their 6 week training and then the restaurant basically has to start from scratch. Look, this is south Florida, we all know how it can be, but let's be real, the managers are trained to do all aspects of the job, if they see people aren't happy, step in and try to correct the situation, but don't let people walk out of your restaurant paying more than $100 for food they didn't consume. I think that's absurd. Just thinking about this upsets me because we left there only to go have dinner somewhere else. I don't recommend this place. Not today, not ever. Go to Fogo De Chao for a real rodizio experience if that's what you are looking for, otherwise I am certain you will be disappointed. read more

Was sat down and asked for an order of drinks. That's it, had to ask for my own kids' refills at the bar. Sat and had dinner for about one hour without one single waiter tending to the table. When we told the manager about our experience, she politely proceeded to waive two kids lemonades and added an 18% gratuity to our tab - keep in mind gratuity is only specified for parties of 8 or more at the menu. We will probably be exploring other options for family dinners. read more

The best Brazilian stake house , the service the food every single thing is amazing, the best part is that the workers are very kind , they make you feel like home , super recommended!!!! read more

Food was great! Eduardo (the supervisor) was awesome. I'm pregnant and needed a cut of meat cooked a little more, so he requested it for me, and made sure to bring it back. read more

Finally got to visit this Brazilian gem! We've been dying to dine here and it did not disappoint! We were walked over to our table where we were greeted by our waiter. She explained to us how everything worked. We ordered a delicious bottle of wine only available at their restaurant. Paired so nicely with all the meats. The salad and side bar was so yummy! You are required to make a line to keep the social distancing and they provide gloves that are to be worn while serving yourself your sides. Once back at the table, the fun begins!!! Green brings the meats!!! It was a nonstop round of chicken, sausage, churrasco, picanha and so much more. The meat is absolutely spectacular. So juicy and well seasoned. And as if that's not enough, Dane some space for dessert. Their flan dessert dish has to be one of the best we've ever had! Make your way to Dania Pointe! This place doesn't disappoint read more

Food was amazing. Service was in point quick & friendly. Ambiance was wonderful. You won't be disappointed if you dine here

Food is okay . This was my first time here. Service was attentive . Started off slow but then the meats started coming . The quality of the meat is so so . I honestly would recommend chima for $15 more but that's just me . The Salad bar did have a large variety but as far as meats I do think chima is a better vibe and better quality . Probably won't return. read more

Great food very clean price very reasonable personal service very friendly we went to celebrate a birthday they sing we had a wonderful experience at this location read more

Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse Fort Lauderdale - Salad bar very clean and fresh - Steakhouses Near Me - Dania Beach, Florida

Lovely restaurant very trendy and welcoming but Im afraid it was not for us. We sat down and the waiter really must have been new because he could not answer some of the questions we had about the menu. I am vegan so this is a Brazilian steak house and Hubby is a pescatarian . The menu is as such 42.99 for a salmon dish and all I can eat salad for 26.99. I can not justify all you can eat salad for this price. Really how much salad can I consume? Also a salmon plate 42.99 with salad is steep. Perhaps if you have a big appetite and you eat meat this is the place. We had to leave because I cannot justify paying this for salad. Parking is good. read more

Was very satisfied with the food here. Once we flipped the block to green, the food never stopped coming. It was a very family friendly environment. only downside was it took a while to get our servers attention a couple of times. read more

Food was delicious! Server was nice and attentive. Salad bar had tons of offerings. There were constantly servers coming by offering a variety of meats cooked to different temperatures. Our favorite was the picanha! read more

fue una experiencia muy buena, Melisa fue una muy buena meat server, un gran servicio de su parte todo muy feliz con ella

Our gaucho Grecel did amazing service for us, and was ontop of all of our requests! I highly recommend her and Rodizio to anyone looking for great food and service! We will definitely be back! read more

So I came here to eat this was the fifth time but today was by far the most transformative. The manager sat us and told me the server was busy and would be with us however they never came after witnessing 3 tables of people get servers. I finally asked the manager and she apologized and a server came by the name of Jorge came great guy. It ended up getting more intriguing. Even though our marker was green to receive food the workers barely came to offer us meat and when they did it was kind of rude. To top it off this one guy wasted meat blood all down my leg , feet and shoes and didn't apologize. I sat in disbelief for a moment and pondered on the experience which was very low tier. A guy came by and asked how was everything and my friend finally told him everything that had taken place the manager ended up just charging us 60 dollars for the experience opposed to the full 120 however we still didn't eat 60 dollars worth of food . I hate to think that people serve you based on your race however sometimes when a hit dog screams it's because it's hit . read more

Love coming here with my family! The servers are very attentive and nice. Especially Gabriel!

Loved our service at Rodizio! Grecel is an amazing server, and loved the Grilled pineapple! The wine selection was amazing too, we will be coming back for this variety! read more

Service was less than satisfactory. We had to wait 15 mins to be seated in an almost empty restaurant and then still left alone for about 10 mins just waiting to have an introduction and figure out what was going on. Meat smelled funky and most was undercooked. It was all rare read more

Very disappointing. I was excited to try this restaurant. The service was not very friendly at all and was very slow. We had to wait a considerable amount of time for the meat to come and it was not very busy. A lot of the items at the salad bar were out and the desserts were underwhelming. When we asked the servers to explain the sauce on certain types of meat, they didn't know and just said it was the restaurants special sauce. Some of the meat that came out was not hot and the shrimps were very fishy. For these prices I expected more and top notch service read more

Great service, drinks, and of course food! We had a reservation so there was no wait. The place gets pretty packed. read more

We have high standards when it comes to Brazilian churrascarias. Our inaugural visit today to Rodizio Grill for brunch far exceeded our expectations. We will be back. Our servers, Ron and Maria, were excellent and made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. The general manager also checked in on us several times. The variety and quantity of authentic Brazilian sides and appetizers was amazing. By far the best salad bar selections we've ever seen among franchise churrascarias (e.g. Fogo, Texas). They even had moqueca (fish stew) today. See pics for all the yummy goodies. We really appreciated not having sides (e.g. mash potatoes, fried plantains, fried polenta sticks) automatically delivered to our table as other franchises do. It's such a waste of food because we never eat them. These items are offered in the salad bar. The gauchos brought around plenty of meat offerings including picanha, alcatra, fraldinha, garlic beef, chicken wrapped in bacon, steak wrapped in bacon, filet mignon, parmesan pork, glazed ham, spicy chicken, linguiça, and more. They made sure our plates were always full. An interesting addition to the gaucho offerings was grilled pineapple. Be sure to try it! The grilling brings out the sweetness of pineapple and really helps balance out the grilled meats. The drinks were wonderful as well. We enjoyed the bottomless limeade without cream - refreshing and just the right blend of sweet and tart. I tried a caipirinha and it was very well made. The variety of dessert offerings is perfect. Something for everyone's sweet tooth. We enjoyed the flan and royal brigadeiro, but had to take some home to enjoy later. The prices are perfect for brunch and kids. Reservations are accepted online. The location is great. Dania Pointe has great shops so you can easily take a walk before or aftee your meal. We look forward to visiting Rodizio again soon with friends. COVID measures: Social distancing was followed in seating and throughout the restaurant. For the salad bar, patrons are required to sanitize their hands and use disposable gloves. read more

Absolutely love the services. Every staff who came to the table was very welcoming and nice especially Claudia and Gleidson. Claudia was our waitress and she is absolutely so sweet. Food was amazing love the different varieties from meat, veggies and fruits. My favorite is the cheese bread. The atmosphere is very laid back and love the jazz music that plays. read more

I was really excited to try Rodizio Grill but I left wishing I never went. The steak at Rodizio was unflavored and overcooked and the salad bar was just as disappointing. To say the food was bad is an understatement. For the same price I would recommend you go to Texas De Brazil; their meat quality blows Rodizio Grill out of the water and your Filet Mignon won't be served well done. I left hungry and with a stomach ache. 0/10 recommend. read more

The food is great - the ambiance is more Friday's than Fogo, and depending on whose in your party, this might be the perfect spot. Great for bringing out all your friends. I wouldn't recommend for a quiet date night. This is definitely a place for large parties and bring the entire family. The dining area is spacious and there is also a private room for larger parties. It's on the loud side, so no worries about bringing out all the kids either. The staff is well trained and very nice and attentive. read more

Blah. Does not compare to Texas de Brazil in any way shape or form. Wait staff were slow and restaurant was not full or busy. Staff wasn't customer service oriented. We will not be back. read more

I loved this place when it first opened so it was my go to last weekend when I was in town. I'm not sure what happened but it's not the same quality as it was just last year. The meats were bland and none came out cooked medium...either raw or burnt. The staff all seemed like they were trying their best, but the vibe was definitely off. I'm not sure if there's a new owner or management but I won't be back next time. read more

As someone who has been to Brazil a dozen times, lived in Newark and having eaten in countless Portuguese restaurants with the Rodizio Grill concept, I have a fairly good understanding of what makes or breaks this type of establishment. 4 Of us tonight & we didn't know it was a dine out Ft. Lauderdale special of $35.00 per person which really is impressive as they certainly performed admirably. Dania Pointe new shopping center one of the newer establishments here, plenty of parking this expansive place with both inside and outside dining (OUTSIDE CLOSED TONIGHT) was packed to the rafters though we were seated timely. Very modern look inside servers took drink orders and you hit the cold salad bar 1st before you move to the main attraction. The Cold Salad Bar was decent nothing to get crazy over but very nicely appointed plenty of options, lettuce and the rest was cold and fresh. Zero complaints here though I did mistake Quails Eggs for small Mozzarella balls which were in the next section . There is a hot appetizer bar too but that is best served for sides as you begin the meat. You turn your marker to Green and HERE THEY COME. Server after server with I think I counted twelve different meat options, from pork, sausage, countless steak types and chicken etc. ENGOURGED on meat is the way to describe this. Some better than others while some are a complete pass. Unlike many other similar places if you asked for something back you didn't wait until the rotation came around, they told someone and they were there instantly. If you wanted something rare, they, had it, well done same. Deserts were absolutely to die for some fried donut with ice cream & strawberries while they're in house "LIME CAKE" was also fantastic. I Can't say enough about the service from the girls removing plates, refilling soft drinks to the guys with the meat it was hands down perfection. Why only 4 stars, well some of the meats were simply ok while others were top shelf the quality of the meat itself is good not great plus as with any of these establishments they are loaded with salt, perhaps it is tenderizer but either way very salty. In short Surprisingly good, top shelf service in a clean ambiance with at this special price point is a deal. A repeat for sure. read more

Delicious meat and great customer service. Only problem is that they doesn't open for lunch regularly so I can't really go very often. read more

This is not a bad restaurant however it's just a discount Texas De Brazil... with comparable prices. To their credit though, as long as you keep your green marker up they keep coming very often (often enough so that you can't finish a conversation) to your table with meats. the ambiance doesn't match the price though. read more

We have not eaten here since Covid. So happy we returned. Excellent environment, service and food. To start, great salad bar with lots of choices, hot and cold. We really enjoyed all of the many choices of meat, cooked perfectly for your taste. Also desserts, if you have room. Especially liked the grilled pineapple. One negative was the Caipirinha drink. Very little drink just limes. The glass was quite small. But highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Great food. Not so great seating. I felt as if I were eating out in the parking lot. The wind was really blowing and we were cold under the "big top". If you go, sit inside the restaurant. read more

Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse Fort Lauderdale - Food - Steakhouses Near Me - Dania Beach, Florida

It wasn't bad but it's lacking something that some of the other Brazilian steakhouses have. This tiny bit of Umph is missing. Stop pushing the grilled pineapple, it's not meat read more

Came here, and will compare to my experiences from TDB and Chima. The bar area is smaller than the other places. Also why the replaces bring you certain Brazilian staples, here you get them yourselves at the buffer area. Buffet area is smaller than other places but cold food was good. No complaints there. They do not have the cream potatoes that I have grown accustomed to having at Brazilian steakhouses, just mashed potatoes. Issue was the meat. The meats were usually always well done and not very hot when they arrived to us. Also lacking a nice sear on the outside and SALT. For the price I will frequent the other steakhouses mentioned. read more

The waitress are nice and they serve differ kind of the Brazilian style steak on the bar. Their side food buffet is not that great then don't wast money for "only buffet" option and just go with the regular (full service" that let you enjoy of all those fresh juicy meets and ribs! read more

Rip off. Overpriced. The atmosphere is loud and cold. Nothing special about this restaurant. I was a guest and I'm glad I did not have to pay. The best of the beefs didn't come around very often only the cheap cuts and chicken. read more

fantastic experience! the food was delicious, but the highlight was Omar! attentive, friendly and truly went above and beyond. Great service makes all the diference! read more

Upon arrival and making my reservation I mentioned it was my 6 year olds birthday. I also let our host/server Jorge C. know as well it was my son Hunters birthday. We in the past have been numerous of times to this establishment as well as birthdays and always love the sign and desserts. Not today we didn't. We weren't even offered to look at a dessert menu to buy one before we sat and waited for the check til someone we haven't even seen before got it for us. All the times over the years I have been here I have never been so disappointed and let down. Let alone for this being my son's birthday dinner. read more
