Most Disliked
While most experiences are positive, a few diners express that the location is somewhat inconvenient if traveling from New York City, making it less accessible for frequent visits. Some guests feel that during busy hours, the wait for food can stretch a bit longer than usual. Occasionally, larger parties may crowd the space, which can lead to a noisy atmosphere that detracts from the cozy vibe it usually boasts. Additionally, though the prices reflect the quality, some find it a bit high compared to other dining options in the area. However, these minor critiques are often overshadowed by the exceptional dining experience overall, as many still claim it's worth every penny.

What a find! Straight out of a Diner Drive-Ins and Dives episode. The steaks were great and the wait staff was excellent. We will be back for the brisket. They also went out of their way to get us a table even though they had huge parties taking up almost the entire restaurant. Service is top notch.

We stayed at a nearby hotel over a long weekend to enjoy Asbury Park Beach. As we passed by this restaurant, my Brazilian spouse recognized the name of the restaurant "Rodeio" to be Portuguese-sounding. We stopped by for dinner and opted for the unlimited steak (churrasco). It was a huge, very pleasant surprise for us. We live in New York City, and we thought that this was the best "churrascaria" (Brazilian steakhouse) we've been to. The skirt(?) beef was the best. We don't remember having this in other churrascarias in the city. All the other beefs were excellent too. We also had the best caipirinhas (Brazilian cocktails) we've ever had. It was customized with strawberry, passion fruit and lime -- very refreshing cocktail. The coconut flan (showered with shredded coconut meat) was also the best we ever tasted as well as the fried plantain. I'm using superlatives not to exaggerate but to communicate how we felt. Regarding the service, we didn't have to wait for long after requesting for something. The ambiance is very homey, very pleasant and uplifting, and place is very clean. They have big flat-screen TV's all over. For us, even if we live in New York City, it is worth a frequent visit because we'll surely miss the foods/drinks and the place itself. I'm even researching now the best way to get there using public transportation, if we're not driving. Needless to say, this is very highly recommended. Oh, just to have a fair and balanced review, I have to include a con or something negative: it's not in New York City -- I wish we could more conveniently come here for every special occasion.

Sophia our server was amazing. This was our 1st time and we loved it. We all tried something different from the menu and we were not disappointed. The food was great and we can't wait to go back. This place is a hidden gem.
