Every year we make a pilgrimage around Father's Day to the Meat Mecca.This year did not disappoint. They had our table ready when we arrived, and the meats quickly started arriving at the table.Our party ate 22+ deliveries of skewers, plus the appetizers, and the buffet. We certainly didn't leave hungry. It was a fantastic experience and our waiter was a class act.Our favorites were the beef selections, garlic beef in particular, the sweet and spicy chicken, the pork, and the pineapple. Again, it was all superb, but those were the standouts to us.My only disappointment was the lack of quail in eggs. But hey. Whatever. We were there to eat meat.Thanks Rodizio's!
Thought this would be a good mid week date night experience. My wife and I had heard about Brazilian steakhouses and we're excited to try it. It did not live up to the hype.Showed up just after 7pm on a Wednesday - first mistake. Service was great (at first); they warned us that only 8 meat choices were available since it was so close to closing time. No big deal, we thought we would get our fill and if we liked it, come back next time... Nope. They shut. It. Down. 8pm rolled around and we did not see any server for 20 minutes. Had our fill of the buffet, but for $100 had about 8 oz of steak between the two of us. It wasn't $100 good.Wish we would have had a heads up or last call. If a manager was still in the building by the time we figured out we were finished, I would have voiced my displeasure in person instead. Unfortunately that was not an option either.
My husband and I tried Rodizio for the first time tonight. We tried every beef item and every chicken item hoping that one of them would be better than the last one, unfortunately they were all terrible. No flavor, undercooked, grissley and honestly seemed old even though they were being cooked fresh. We also both had a salad (not fresh) and a couple sides.. all bad. The ONLY thing we consumed that wasn’t terrible was the grilled pineapple and the vegetables that were in the pot roast. When we got the bill and learned that it was $75 for this experience that we maybe had eaten $10 worth from, I just could not leave happy. I stopped the manager and she was very kind and seemed to truly care about my feedback. There was another gentleman working the host stand however that tried to argue with me.. when I told the female manager that the potatoes were like water he chimed in and said “that’s how they are supposed to be in Brazil” and he went on to say “we have a successful product here”. I was not impressed by his customer service. I never complain at restaurants and I typically refer to those who do as a “Karen”, but just the fact that the price was this food was $34/ per person was just mind blowing to me. If it had been less expensive, I would have just took the loss and said well that was terrible, we’re not coming back. But it was honestly the worst meal we have ever had in Lincoln and that is including fast food.
The food and atmosphere here is fantastic!! Many different kinds of meat were brought around and even had to stop them from time to time because they were coming around so fast! The salad bar was awesome as well and the staff was very attentive. Be warned you better be hungry if your going here cause there is so much to try. Will be going to this place again.
My son took me and the food was really good. I loved the salad bar. Our server was Cruz and he was super nice! Explained everything and come back several times to keep us happy. Will definitely go back!Tip: make a reservation
Leave filling full. This place has delicious meat for the carnivorous connoisseur. Servers will deliver food to your table or you can take your pick of the menu. Amazing chefs and elegant dining style. It’s on the higher end as far as price goes, but worth every penny!Additional shoutout to our waiter, Jackson H. He was by far one of the most attentive and professional waiters we’ve ever had.
I cannot think of a worse experience. We planned a night in Lincoln to specifically go to Rodizio Grill. We drove about 2.5 hours from North Central Kansas, made a reservation, and booked a hotel room nearby. I regret it so, so much.Upon arrival, no one was at the front. Multiple employees saw my partner and me standing there for an extended period of time waiting. Then, who would be our server came over and brought us to a seat. There was only 1 other guest and he was waiting a few other people to join him. A hostess eventually came and was not presentable by any means, complete unkempt as were many gauchos.The first meat comes out and it is undercooked, so we request medium well to well done as we like. He comes back and it was great. That was the only good meat we got. Soon thereafter, they only brought out non steak items, besides garlic beef which everyone was refusing. Our server wasn't ever coming back. I had to raise my voice across distances to receive service. I asked him if he could help us get well done steak as we were there for a long time and barely ate anything. He said he would. Meat kept coming medium rare and medium anyway. Then, well done came once and the meat had a spoiled taste. We tried it, but couldn't eat it once we tasted that. My partner was sick almost immediately and had to leave for the bathroom. We received steak once after that, but the bad taste in our mouth was already there.We put the thing down to end service. The server came over and asked how it was and I was honest. I told him how we didn't get what we asked for except once despite long waits and requests and when we did it was bad as if it was spoiled. He apologized and then I paid our $88+ bill. We left so hungry and had to go elsewhere to eat. The absolute worst and would never recommend to anyone.
It's kinda fun the first time you go, but after a few time it really isn't that fun. It's very expensive. It's interesting to try all the different meats, but none are really like OMG that was awesome. Personally some better choices are Lazlos for taste and Shogun for the show. Both are about half the price of this place. $277 for 6 people, and 1 beer, rest drank water.
The food was great as well as the service. I enjoyed having servers stop by and asking if we would like to try the meat that they were carrying.It was also nice that the owner of the restaurant stopped by our table to see how we were doing.
I was taken to Rodizio Grill for my birthday on a late Sunday afternoon/evening. It was my first and last visit. It did not live up to the hype that I had heard about it. It wasn't very busy. The staff was inattentive, the food was mediocre, no comparison to the Brazilian Steakhouse I visited at a Mexican resort. It was quite expensive for what was offered. Much of the staff were occupied setting up a room to the west for what I assume was a private party/event. Won't recommend or return.
