Rodeo Brazilian Steakhouse - Toronto, Ontario

Really cool experience, even though not every type of meat was for me, it was fun to try different things. The beef sirloin and the bacon wrapped chicken breast were my favourite. We also went with my young nephews who had a blast dancing with the dancers (who were super nice ... and so talented) The staff were also super nice and patient with my large group. Definitely a great spot if you are looking for a different type of buffet! Read more

I wanted this place to be better but I’m sad to say at best its mid, and at worst it’s downright bad (considering the price). Compared to the old copacabana downtown, or brasa in Niagara Falls, it really doesn’t compare favourably. The meat quality is really inconsistent. Some cuts are cooked ... really well and seasoned, others are dry and flavourless. How they cut the meat is also inconsistent. Sometimes they’ll give you a nice cut that’s not too thick and isn’t an end piece, other times you’ll just get a chunk of meat that’s the size of a small roast. The server’s aren’t trained to cut meat properly. Frankly it looks like they hired kids to do it; at least on a weekday. The way the bring out the meat is also pretty sporadic. Servers aren’t walking the floor at all times; they come out in set intervals and disappear the rest of the time. These aren’t practices designed to give the customer a good experience, it’s very obvious they’re designed to cut costs. Decor wise, the restaurant really shows its age. There’s some odd smells in the building, which doesn’t seem really fit for a restaurant. This isn’t exactly a nice part of Toronto, so it’s at least understandable. The part that annoyed me the most was that they added a mandatory tip where you weren’t allowed to indicate the percentage. I don’t recall the exact number but it was around 20% or more. If you’re going to help yourself to an unreasonable tip at the customers expense, then earn the damn tip. Don’t use ‘because it’s winterlicious’ as the reason. Don’t give me a limited menu and then tip yourself excessively to make up for it, when you can’t even deliver service that reflects the tip. Frankly, this restaurant should be banned from being able to participate in winterlicious in the future if this is what they do. Read more

Had great dinner with friends here on all you can eat during winterlicious 2024. It was great food and fun dance performance. The food was keep coming and everything was tasty and delicious. I didn't get to take many photos and kept on digging lol. Loved the salad bar and variety of the ... food as well. Already recommended the spot to many friends, a must try. Read more

Went to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful evening. We got the $65 winterlicious reduced menu (no lamb), but were very satisfied I really enjoyed the appetizer and salad bar. I think that their quality is quite good and this differentiates it from other Brazilian steakhouses. The parmesan wheel, ... smoked salmon, and avocado salad were notable. The meats are delicious. We especially enjoyed the picanha (who doesn't?), the pineapple, parmesan filet mignon (so tender), and the parmesan pork loin. A couple things to note - a couple of the initial cuts were very salty ( probably because they were the surface pieces and had just left the grill), the New York striploin was cooked to done, and the pork ribs were dry. We went on a Thursday (no live entertainment), but the vibes were great and ambiance was wonderful nonetheless. Service is commendable here. Staff are very pleasant and even surprised us with a slice of cheesecake + happy birthday (thank you). Read more

I dont have many pictures, but this evening and meal were spectacular! The appetizers are SO fresh, and the meats were tender. Our favourites were the filet minon and picanha. OMG AND THE GRILLED PINEAPPLE WAS AMAZING. Plus the service was super good, everyone so super kind! Overall: 5/5 experience
