Rio Brazil Steakhouse set on the outskirts of Richmond and Glen Allen.
A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a "churrascaria," is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their "rodízio" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.
Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as "gauchos," carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.
In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.

    Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. She made one mistake with my husband's dessert, but she cleared that up very quickly without any fuss. The food is varied and delicious!

    There was a definite kitchen problem, there wasn't nearly enough meat circulating, everyone was waiting for more. We waited almost 30 minutes for the ribeye we requested, and when the manager guy brought it, it was obvious it had been rushed. The Cesar dressing tastes like mayonnaise, and was so thick. And the only hot sauce they had was Tabasco. This was our first time here, and for the price vs value we received, it is our last. The meats we did have were good if they were fresh, but half of them were the last of the skewers and very dry. At least our server was nice.

    Dined here several times and this was worst by far simply due to service. Host was shroud and Made me feel like I was a bother to her. Server was pushy and would t let me complete sentences and went MIA serval times. Drink came over halfway thru the meal. Wanted to leave and after ten min I had to track him down to pay the bill. Food decent but it’s been better. Tried to say thank you to chef who prepared shrimp and was blown off. This was disappointing

    Everything was fresh and so flavorful. The CAIPIRINHA was delicious I had 3. The meats were tender and juicy no matter what cut it was. If you see them waking around with the pineapple flag them down! Soooo good. Staff was amazing owner stopped by and spoke to us. Not to crowded which I like. Will be back.
