   It is deeply disappointing to report that my experience at this restaurant fell far below expectations, particularly given its claims of being a fine dining establishment. Having dined at numerous Brazilian steakhouses across the United States, I can confidently say that this venue does not come close to matching the quality of its counterparts. One of my primary concerns was the limited selection at the salad and hot dish bar, which was surprisingly small—approximately 15'x15'—offering very few choices. The food presentation was unappetizing, and many items appeared to have been sitting out for extended periods. The Caesar salad, in particular, was soggy and warm, with wilted lettuce that clearly had been sitting for too long. As a result, neither myself nor my two guests felt inclined to return to the salad bar. The quality of the meats was equally disappointing. The selection ranged from undercooked to tough and overcooked, and the bacon-wrapped items were more fat than bacon. The garlic and parmesan seasoning on the chicken and beef was overwhelming, which detracted from the overall flavor. To make matters worse, the $50 per person cost did not even include basic beverages such as sodas, further adding to the sense of poor value. Given the numerous high-quality Brazilian steakhouses available, I cannot imagine a situation where I would return to this establishment. It would be more worthwhile to spend significantly less and enjoy a more satisfying meal elsewhere

   It's my first time I tried at Rodizio and the food is not really good, they doesn't have many options in meats and salad bar. Also, the food wasn't fresh, the cheese bread cold. The staff there are so friendly, very attentive and asking if you need something. They are really nice.

   Server was often missing and very dismissive. She would come to the table to drop something off the. Would just walk away even when we were speaking to her. I ran after her to just to request for more hot tea. The wait for the tab and to pay was INSANE. and our table was often missed by the servers.

   Service was very slow , had to wait long to get the meat. And when the meat comes it was either cold or weird looking. Also it almost had no flavor. Only good thing was spicy chicken, i didn’t enjoy the rest a bit.

   The food was delicious. The guys with the meat and serving us were great. The Maple Grove Rodizio is a great place to eat. If your in the area stop in and get your meat sweats on. So good.

   Really fun experience, like most other Brazilian steakhouses we’ve gone to- good food- lots of options- our waitress was so so- had to ask repeatedly to get water for our table and had to track her down to get drinks/cocktails

    I had a wonderful time at Rodizio Grill. Along with their usual staple of different meats, they had turkey and all the fixings for Thanksgiving. The turkey was on a spit and the gauchos carved pieces of turkey breast. The meat was very tender and juicy. The spices and flavor upped it to another level. The rest was very good too. The hostess, gauchos, and chefs were very friendly and professional. The price was right for this type of meal. I almost 25 miles to get there and I’ll definitely go back again and enjoy the experience. Awesome job Rodizio! You made my Thanksgiving!!
