| - We were looking for a good Brazilian Restaurant while in Phoenix and we came across Rodizio Grill. When we first arrived, we were told it would be a 20-minute wait even though you could see the place was half empty.
We were seated in the main area and one thing to say, if you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner, this is not the place. Extremely loud as the sound vibrates off everything inside and when you have many kids and people who have no decorum, well, needless to say, it felt as if I was eating in a mess hall.
When we were given the menus, all you could say is 'GROSS'!! There was food all over all of them. Also, the tables were smeared with the dirty hand cloth as well. Disgusting! Had to get everything cleaned a second time ourselves.
The salad bar looked as if a bunch of kids had played in it. Extremely sloppy and not maintained. I do not get how management can just set something out and then forget it all.
The meats that were served were extremely hit and miss. Some were on point tasty and some were dry and were like shoe leather, very bad! I found out that you need to get the meat when it first comes out of the kitchen. If you wait after the meat has made a couple of rounds, it will be cold, dry and tasteless. Really poor quality control.
We finished with desert, the Rabanada. It is like churros, however much better and tastier served with fresh strawberries and Ice Cream. Now this one dish was a winner.
Also, the service was quite good. If it was not for the last two items, this place would only get one star. The desert and service elevated it a bit, however, this Brazilian Steakhouse needs to get their QC under control as it is all over the map from being clean to just eye appealing food.
