Staffed with young immature help. We witnessed horse play. Food being tossed. Eating in the prep/cooking area. Unsatisfied with the service. We where there for my birthday dinner. Not Happy at all. This was our second time here. We were so excited and looking forward to a wonderful experience and then we were so Disappointed. The stand out Pineapple that everyone talks about only came out once our whole time there for dinner. There was only 6 meats being served. 2 sausage that tasted freezer burnt. 4 meats that were good. Just not enough food served and selection. Will we try this place again? Very doubtful!!
$135 is not a drop in the bucket for dinner.

This was my 3rd visit to rodizios and it didn’t disappoint! The food was fresh and soooo yummy! All the workers were very friendly and service was quick! There was also a manager running his butt off helping everyone, he was very nice to everyone. Good to see a helpful manager! Our server was very helpful and accommodating. 5/5 will be back!!

Use to brag about this place. When going to Lincoln me and my buddies allways are here. This last trip here was well below par. Some of the meat was so overcooked it was unbearable. Service was allmost non existent and it wasn’t like it was busy either. Hope they fix the rutt their in

Everything was cooked until jerky. I don’t even know how long you need to neglect shrimp on a skewer for it to become gum, but they sure do. They only had three “steak” options at this steakhouse, and two appeared to be eye round, but they couldn’t confirm what cut it actually was. The wait staff were 100% on point and super polite, I have nothing negative to say about them at all. One of them even took me out some top sirloin early so I could have some medium rare beef.

Our go-to birthday place for a decade. The food is exceptional and Eric runs a top-notch operation. Great to see his son, Matthew, learning the ropes and being a great server. Amazing place for celiacs and anyone with gluten issues – 90%+ of the food is gluten free and everything is well-labeled.

Been there twice and had a great experience both times. Their salad bar is great and is a perfect meal, in itself!!! Went when they had the game meats and had some interesting selections!!! My favorite was the rattlesnake sausage. Meats are well seasoned and cooked to perfection!!! Grilled pineapple is out of sight!!! Friendly staff and great service!!! Be sure to give yourself lots of time to dine here!!!

Recently for date night I told my husband we could go to Rodizio cuz I had a coupon. I had already researched online and they have a Salad bar/ Sides only option at a discounted price. Our server still looked at me sideways as to what I was doing there . If you are unaware this place has “Gauchos” who bring various hunks of meat on a giant spit repeatedly to your table until you beg for Mercy!
I did pretty great at digging through the salad bar/ hot buffet offerings and only ended up with one meat infused dish on my plate by accident (Farfalle Salad). He Loved the little things like the Quail eggs, Horseradish sauce and Chimichurri for your meat, etc. I was surprised how much I liked the Seafood and Brazilian Potato salads. The Coconut Pineapple Coleslaw was easily my favorite and I had a couple of helpings. Tableside Bananas and Polenta were also super yummy. I am so picky when it comes to Banana bread and this one was great!
He had So Much Meat! Said the Tri-Tip was his favorite! Beef, Chicken, Pork, Grilled Pineapple. Loved his Cabernet. I ordered the popular Caipirinha Cocktail to finish. Hard to describe. Sugar cane liquor and limes. It was ridiculously delicious. They brought out warm towels at the end to deal with the meat sweats .
This is a place you definitely go for the experience. My husband said he for sure ate his 40 bucks worth. Mine was $26.
Did I leave full? Yes.
26 bucks worth? Not so much.
Would we go again if invited? Probably.

There are so many options, and they are all so bad. Out of the 12 different types of meat they brought to our table, I’d say 4 were edible, and 2 were fine. For having to spend $100 bare minimum on the all-you-can-eat option, I would expect some of the meat to not look and taste like charcoal. Literally everything was overcooked except for some raw chicken that they gave us. The shrimp was the consistency of overcooked steak! I’ve never had shrimp that bad before! The salad bar had a lot of options, and they were all so subpar except for the beef stroganoff which was good. The macaroni noodles were so overcooked and mushy it was crazy. The cornbread was fine, but definitely also overcooked. Altogether it was so so mid it’s crazy. Go to any asian buffet in Lincoln and the meat is going to be so much better and so much cheaper! I already typed out this whole review and my phone ran out of battery and died before I submitted it so I had to rewrite the whole thing! I would never rewrite it if this place wasn’t actually bad! It’s so bad. Trust me.

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!

Very poor experience. No clue how anyone can rate it over a star. Not only should they remove Brazilian from their name they should remove steak as well. Salad bar was disgusting and also lacking basically everything. None of the steaks were edible our entire party had to keep pulling steak out of our mouths. We had just a stack of meat on a plate. You’d think they would notice no one eating but no. Then we asked if they had sides… they came out 5 mins before the check and bread was stale even though we were told it just was made. None of the side were edible either, potato’s were so hard you couldn’t chew it, then we got crème brûlée and the texture was weird more like sponge cake than custard. Better off going to an actual steakhouse or Golden Corral lol
