🐂 Mesmerizing Maminha Meals at Rodizio Grill
“We’re not here to be the best steakhouse in town, we’re here to be your favorite.” clarifies Takeo Yamashita, General Manager of Rodizio Grill, “We bring a friendly approach to our steakhouse service.” Takeo has been with the company for 15 years, starting off on the floor as a dishwasher. He stuck with the company after seeing how much they valued their hardworking team members.
This restaurant is tucked in Pointe Orlando, providing Brazilian steakhouse service without the stuffy vibe. The friendly staff is welcoming of families of all sizes and ages, making a steakhouse dinner more approachable than an upscale eatery. However, the restaurant still maintains elevated service and elegant decor, which includes a glowing bar area.
With several rotations of carefully cooked slices, take a peek at our eats!
🥗 Salad Bar
The robust salad bar offers unique selections, such as heirloom tomatoes and an aged parmesan wheel. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available with different dressings, alongside cured meats for cold cut cravings. A variety of breads also make for light bites before the hearty entrée.
🥩 Maminha
This tri-tip sirloin steak is unique to Rodizio Grill, the Brazilian steakhouse. This steak is extremely flavorful, as it includes a moderate marbled-to-lean cut. The medium rare cut brings out the savory taste with a juicy bite.
🍖 Picanha
This top sirloin is Rodizio’s signature cut, including beef top sirloin cap, sirloin cap, and sirloin culotte. It is specially trimmed, where the fat cap makes each bite that much more tender. The beef itself has a juicy chew, complimenting the flavors of the tender areas.
🍍 Abacaxí
This vegetarian-friendly option includes a grilled pineapple with a sweet glaze. Each pineapple slice holds a sweet-savory flavor, produced from the char of its grilling method.
🥓 Frango & Bacon
This small yet hearty bite is composed of chicken wrapped in bacon for double the meat. The chicken breast holds a tender texture, emphasized by the grilled bacon that has a slight crisp.
🍫 Bolo Brigadeiro
This dessert features three-layer chocolate cake served with an avalanche of warm brigadeiro sauce for an indulgent bite. Fresh bananas and strawberries add a variety of sweetness. The ice cream finishes the plate with a warm-cold sensation.
Through these unprecedented times, the restaurant provides hand sanitizer at the entrance of the salad bar. Gloves are also available to visitors to alleviate the spread of germs on high contact areas. Team members are wearing masks, including the servers handling the meat. With that peace of mind, any meat lover must try their Maminha!
