"Named for the type of experience we've come to expect at a Brazilian steakhouse, Rodizio Grill has waiters roaming the restaurant carving slices of meat onto customers' plates at regular intervals. Unfortunately, Rodizio Grill doesn't have the wide variety of many of its competitors. If the experience is about sampling all different kinds of steak, pork, chicken, and even a tender lamb skewer or two, then Rodizio Grill falls short on the fundamentals. For that matter, their side dish menu is comparably limited as well."
"The problem is that Rodizio Grill is lacking the authenticity and decadence of better Brazilian steakhouses. With around 25 locations around the U.S., Rodizio Grill has created an advantage of convenience - and our reviewer found that it had dialed down the Brazilian experience in favor of something more Americanized. Customers on Facebook were content with Rodizio's low prices despite a smaller salad bar and meat menu than competitors like Fogo de Chão, which came fourth in our ranking."
Sixteen Brazilian steakhouses were evaluated, and Rodizio Grill ranked last despite no restaurant being terrible. Rodizio Grill's service style features servers carving meats tableside, but the meat selection and side-dish offerings are narrower than many competitors. The Picanha was unusually large, which prevented the thick fat cap from properly rendering into the meat. Rodizio Grill uses a gas-powered rotisserie spit instead of wood or charcoal, reducing depth of flavor. Approximately 25 U.S. locations prioritize convenience and lower prices, resulting in a more Americanized experience that some customers accept for proximity. Competitors like Fogo de Chão placed higher in the rankings.
