My server, Anthony, had just set down a skewer of picanha crusted in coarse salt when the couple at the next table asked him the question everyone eventually asks on a first visit to Leblon Churrascaria. Does the price cover everything, or is this going to turn into one of those meals where every extra bite comes with a hidden charge. He laughed a little, because he gets asked that almost every night, and set his tray down for a second before answering.
The rodizio dinner cost breaks down more simply than people expect. Understanding the Leblon Churrascaria dinner price starts with one simple fact. The full rodizio dinner runs $49 per adult, and that single price covers the salad bar, the hot side dishes, and the entire tableside parade of meats for as long as you keep your card flipped to green. Desserts, drinks, and gratuity for larger groups are the pieces that sit outside that number.
Quick Facts — Full Rodizio Dinner: $49 – Salad Bar Only: $28 – Kids 10 and Under: $19 – Dessert: $7.95 each – Gratuity: 18% added for parties of 5 or more – Dinner Hours: 5 to 9 or 9:30 PM daily
What’s Actually on Your Plate for $49
The $49 dinner price is built around unlimited meat service, not a fixed plate.
The Salad Bar Comes First
Once you sit down, your table gets the full salad bar, which includes hot dishes like feijoada and grilled vegetables alongside cold options such as hearts of palm and marinated vegetables. Servers also bring warm cheese bread, fried bananas, garlic mashed potatoes, and mashed sweet potatoes automatically, refilled through the meal without you having to ask.
What surprises a lot of first timers is how much of the meal happens before the meat even starts. The salad bar alone could function as a full meal for some guests, which is why Leblon also sells it as a standalone option for $28. If you order the full rodizio, the salad bar is included in that $49 automatically, not sold as an add on.
Then the Meat Service Takes Over
The tableside gaucho service begins next, with servers circling the room and stopping at your table with skewer after skewer. The rotation typically covers around twelve cuts across beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and sausage, including picanha, the marinated top sirloin cap Leblon is known for, along with prime rib, bacon wrapped chicken, and specialty items like grilled pineapple and seared cheese cubes.
You are not paying per cut or per trip to the table, and as long as your card sits green side up, the meat keeps coming, with no limit on how many times you wave a server back for another slice of whatever you liked best.
The Green and Red Card Controls How Much of Your $49 You Use
The card is the mechanism that decides how much meat actually reaches your table. Every table gets a small card, green on one side and red on the other. Green side up tells the gauchos to keep bringing skewers, and flipping it to red lets your table catch up before checking back in.
Guests who have never done rodizio dining sometimes leave the card green the whole meal and end up with more meat than they can finish, so the honest tip is to flip it red early and often, especially between the third and fourth round, when most people start slowing down without realizing it. Nobody explains that part on the website, but it is the easiest way to get more out of the same $49 without overordering.
Where the Extra Charges Sneak Onto the Bill
This is where the check can catch people off guard if nobody warns them ahead of time. Desserts are billed separately from the $49 rodizio price and run $7.95 each, with a seasonal lineup that has included mango passion fruit cake, tiramisu cake, flan, and dulce de leche. The Caipirinha Bar handles the cocktail and wine side of things, and neither shows up automatically on your plate.
The other line item to know about is gratuity. For parties of five or more, an 18% gratuity is added automatically to the check, while smaller groups see the standard tip left to their discretion. On top of food and gratuity, expect North Carolina sales tax, which runs close to 7% in Guilford County.
A table of six ordering dessert and caipirinhas will land well above $49 a head by the time the check arrives. One detail worth knowing if you are celebrating a birthday: Leblon allows guests to bring their own cake for a $10 fee rather than requiring dessert to come from the in house menu. Active military, first responders, and educators can also ask about the 10% Heroes Discount, which applies to dine in orders any day of the week and is not something the menu mentions up front.
Full Rodizio vs. Salad Bar Only: Which One Fits Your Table
Not every guest wants the full meat experience. Here is how the two main dinner options compare.
| Full Rodizio Dinner ($49) | Salad Bar Only ($28) | |
| Meat service | Unlimited tableside skewers | Not included |
| Salad bar access | Included | Included |
| Hot side dishes | Included | Included |
| Best for | First timers, meat lovers, celebrations | Lighter appetites, vegetarian leaning guests, quick lunch style visits |
| Typical stay length | 90 minutes to 2 hours | 45 minutes to an hour |
| Card system used | Yes | No |
If you are on the fence, the salad bar alone is genuinely good, and the $49 rodizio price only really makes sense if at least a few people at your table plan to eat meat. A mixed group can order both options at the same table, which works well for families with different appetites.
Kids Eat for Less
Kids 10 and under eat for $19, and that price includes their own curated selection rather than the full adult rodizio lineup. It is a meaningful discount for families, and it means a family of four with two young kids can expect a dinner total closer to $136 before drinks, dessert, or tax, rather than paying full adult price across the board.
Booking for a Large Group or Private Event
The base per person pricing stays the same whether you are a table of two or a group booked into Leblon’s private room, which holds between 30 and 36 guests, and Leblon Churrascaria’s menu prices for that room follow the same structure as a standard dinner.
What changes for larger parties is the automatic 18% gratuity, and groups of ten or more are asked to call the restaurant directly rather than book online, since private events sometimes involve a set menu or minimum.
How Leblon Stacks Up Against Other Triad Steakhouses
That depends on what you compare it against. A typical Brazilian steakhouse price in the Triad sits close to Leblon’s own, but a traditional steakhouse in Greensboro or Winston Salem might charge $40 to $60 for a single cut of steak with sides sold separately, while Leblon’s $49 covers a dozen or more cuts over the course of the meal plus the full salad bar, with no separate charge for sides.
The comparison that comes up just as often is against national chains like Fogo de Chao, which does not have a location in Greensboro itself. The closest options sit in Raleigh or Charlotte, both well over an hour away, and typically price the full rodizio in the $60 to $75 range before drinks and tip. Leblon has been operating independently at 106 South Holden Road since 1995, which means the $49 price reflects a locally owned business rather than a national chain’s overhead, and the private room comes with no extra rental fee for groups that book it.
The tradeoff either way is that you are paying for the experience and the volume, not for a single premium plate, so if your ideal night out is one perfectly cooked filet and nothing else, a traditional steakhouse might suit you better. If you want to try several cuts, control the pace yourself with the card, and stay local rather than driving to another city, the rodizio price structure tends to work out in your favor.

Either way, you will know exactly what that price gets you, and exactly what to budget for on top of it, before the first skewer even reaches your table.
