    Happy special birthday to me! The Rodizio Grill was the perfect place to celebrate it! We were seated on the outside patio as per request. The weather was beautiful and we could see the fountains from our seat. Beno was our attentive and knowledgeable server. I ordered club soda with lemon and David had a large IPA. We started by going to the salad bar which has an extensive array of hot and cold items. There was Ceviche's as well as Chicken Alfredo. Mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon and Brazilian Stew. I tasted a little bit of everything and returned to our table where the parade of grilled meats and pineapple started to come. Lamb, steak, sausages, chicken and our favorite grilled pineapple with brown sugar. Then to top it off we ordered coffee and flan. I was serenaded by the servers who sang happy birthday in Portuguese! This was a wonderful end to my birthday week. We redeemed the $1 certificate when you buy one dinner. The flan was also complimentary. What a treat, great food , great service and lots of birthday wishes!

    Yelp event @ Rodizio Grill

    16 July 2024 ... Tuesday A YELP Event was held at Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse yesterday , 16july24. This was my first time dinning at this restaurant although I have dined at another Brazilian Steakhouse in the past. There were approximately 20 + people ( Yelpers ) in our group. I knew some of them from previous Yelp Events and met some new Yelpers at this event. The Event was coordinated by the lovely Adela who did a fantastic job in organizing this event. Prior to the commencement of our Yelp dining experience we were instructed by the wait staff that when we desired more food we were to place our food indicator GREEN side up. When we had enough food at our table we were to place the food indicator RED side up. GREEN = bring more food ... RED = stop bringing food. Now dinner begins with the Salad Bar where we were to help ourselves to whatever salad selections we desired. The Salad Bar is huge with a variety of vegetables and fruits to create a delicious, healthy salad. Next comes the main course. Various assortments of meat , chicken, fish etc. The food keeps coming until you place your food indicator RED side up. The volume and variety of food brought to our table was incredible. I know my scale is going to hate me in the morning. I can hear my scale screaming at me now ... GET OFF OF ME ... NOW The servers and wait staff were efficient, pleasant and attentive to our every need. I wish I had not eaten for two days prior to our visit to Rodicio because there is so much food ... Salad , Dinner , and Oh Yes , Dessert !!! Oh the Horror Oh my waistline. The food was great , the service fantastic, and the Ambiance was amazing ! If planning a visit to Rodicio , come hungry. You will leave ... satisfied. It's basically an all you can eat dining experience. I know I plan on telling my friends & family about Rodicio's AND ... I will be back ! Thank You Management and Staff of Rodicio Brazilian Steakhouse for providing Yelpers with a wonderful evening of fine dining and service with a smile. Rodicio's is a beautiful restaurant worthy of 5 Stars !!!!!

    Aptly named -- "rodizio" means Brazilian meat buffet -- this is a meat-lover's paradise. If you're like me, not much of a steak-eater, but curious about the restaurant, test the waters with weekend brunch and save a few dollars. (I don't know if the offerings and prices are comparable for lunch.) I was interested in the salad bar. While relatively extensive, it wasn't as wonderful as I hoped it would be. Marinated mushrooms weren't marinated enough. Potatoes in the Brazilian potato salad were undercooked. Chunks of fish in the ceviche were nothing great. (The shrimp and marinade were!) A station indicating assorted cold cuts had nothing more than bland salami. One can gorge oneself on meat. Passadores come around with an awesome selection: various cuts and toppings of beef, ham, chicken, sausage. You name it. Even asking for small slices -- merely tastes -- I was overly stuffed. Some I found delicious. Other pieces fatty or chewy. The dining room is steakhouse chic. Dark and woody. While I would have preferred to eat on the patio, nobody was there. (We feared the meat guys wouldn't come around!) So we sat close to a window and were well tended to. When I walked out, uncomfortably full, I said to T, "this is the kind of restaurant I'd return to every couple of years." If up to him, he'd be back next month!

    Other than not answering their phones that often, their service was good. The salad bar looked great and tasted very good. Their meat faucet, once opened was also very tasty. If you're hungry, this is the spot.

    Did I see ceviche?

    Road trip! Great friends! Brazilian cuisine! Does not get any better than this. Exceptional service, fresh salad bar, incredible taste and just a great experience. Remember to support your local eateries so well don't starve...

    My first time here & first time dining at a Brazilian steakhouse. The restaurant was very clean and the buffet quality was a strong B+ . I really liked the shrimp ceviche + marinated quail eggs + picked beets + marinated mushrooms + chimichurri sauce! My favorite meats were the lamb, garlic steak, & garlic chicken. All incredibly flavorful and tender. Service was speedy & kind - meats come out fast & furious. Be ready. Fun atmosphere, loud, big place, their bday song is a little annoying when you hear it 10 times in the night lol If you're a carnivore like me, pass on the first few rounds of the less quality meats & wait for the more expensive cuts - don't feel up on the Buffett sides (unless you want to - then go for it!) I'd go back!

    Rodizio Grill offers an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience with an unlimited salad bar, traditional sides, and rotisserie-grilled meats carved tableside. The lively atmosphere makes it great for celebrations. Prices start at $38.99 for lunch and $51.99 for dinner. Reservations recommended.

    This place was amazing. Have to try it if you're in the Fort Myers area.

They seated me at a table next to the fireplace/wine wall/by the restrooms. I thought it was a cool spot to be until one of the waitresses stepped over my purse to half climb the wall looking for something specific that she couldn't locate. Not exactly the most comfortable experience. The food was great though. Ordered the lomo saltado and they let me swap one of the starchy sides for a salad. The beef was tender, flavor was on point, and the portion was fair for the price. By the time I left there were two birthday parties and someone coming to celebrate graduation. It was definitely close to a full house once I was walking out the door!

After waiting another 20minutes, my birthday hubby and our party were really anxious. After 45 minutes, I cancelled the table and we went to another restaurant. Such a disappointment. I watched people come after us, by 20 and 30 minutes and get seated while we waited and were given excuses instead of a legit wait time and consideration for our patience.

When I got there, my party was already seated and I had to wait for them to bring another table over. By that time, the meat service had already started, so I missed some of the rotation. I checked out the food bar, the black beans looked good but had pork sausage in them, so I couldn't eat that. When the meats came around, most were medium rare or rare, which is too pink for me. I asked for a different temp and one of the guys kinda caught an attitude when I said the piece he gave me had too much fat. It got awkward real quick as he told me there is no fat on the meat. Also asked for A1 and it took a while. Overall, it wasn't terrible. I had a good time because I was with family, but food-wise it didn't wow me.

We quickly realized this is too much food and to switch to Skewer of Meats or Espeto de Churrasco with two appetizers, Coxinha and Cod Croquettes or Bolinhos de bacalhau We started off with a Caipiritas or a Caipirinha with a small Corona beer. It has a little tart, and refreshing taste with a little hint of sweetness. Next, we shared the Coxinha with chicken filling. This is a popular Brazilian street food snack. The Cod Croquettes is a traditional Portuguese dish with a mixture of potatoes, codfish, eggs, onion and a little nutmeg. They crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside!
