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.

    Overall good experience. Sat down and was pretty soon greeted by our server. She seemed nice but busy, the restaurant was packed. We ate for around an hour and the options seemed limited with a lot of different things coming out once we were already tapped out, which was a little disappointing since we had a lot of the same things coming to our table multiple times. Also, we were served a cocktail instead of a mocktail which was incredibly worrying. Probably the most disappointing thing of the night, and was not okay. Neither of us drink anymore and we even made sure to make the point very clear to have no alcohol. Besides that, food was great.

    First time eating at Rio Brazil as we were given a $40 gift card. This place far exceeds Fogo do Chou! We started with mixed drinks...thenpassion fruit daiquiri is the BEST! The variety of was excellent...even the roasted pineapple! This is a place will definitely go back!

    From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the service was very tentative and we never ever ran out of food there was from steak to chicken to pineapple to cheese plus the buffet everything was beyond my expectations I will definitely be returning and we highly highly recommend going here

    The food was delicious, and the portion size for each meet serving was great to ensure we could taste the great variety of meats and minimize waste. The wine selection was good and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful! A great date night. Thank you.

    I recently visited Rio Brazil Steakhouse, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious—the meats were flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The variety of cuts offered was impressive, and everything was well-seasoned. The sides and salad bar were also fresh and well-prepared, complementing the meal nicely. The service was alright. The staff was polite, but at times, it felt like the attention to our table could have been a bit more consistent. That said, the quality of the food made up for it. If you’re a fan of Brazilian steakhouses and love a good rodizio experience, this place is definitely worth trying!

    My husband and I were able to squeeze in a last minute reservation to Rio. This is one of our favorite places to go and we have been there a number of times before. We were there first thing on Sunday afternoon and no one else had even gotten there. The host was sweet and sat us quickly. The server was attentive making sure that we had all our drinks and dessert. The gauchos were pretty talkative and helpful when bringing out the food. Bathrooms were clean. Everything was super tasty. I recommend everyone trying the sirloin steak or one of the fillets. My only request is that I wished that the salad bar had some crackers to go with other charcuterie options.
