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.

    The food was great. When I walked in and waited to be seated on Thanksgiving I noticed that I did see anyone walking around with the meat skewers. After being seated I waited about 15 minutes for a waitress. I had to request pork since in the over an hour that I was here it only came by one time. At my request for pork I was told that it had to be cooked. Although I appreciate that they prepared it for me it just wasn’t what I expected. It was not crowded but almost full. The food was enjoyable but I feel like I paid to eat from the salad bar

    The staff are ALL awesome! The greeters actually reviewed our request and arranged it! Everyone is so helpful, even top leaders checked on people to ensure the dining experience is grand . But Jenna, yes Jenna, is amazing! Our fourth time here and she is always our host(server) - we ask to be seated in her area and she does not disappoint. We have adopted her. The food, as always, is scrumptious, well seasoned, and served timely. The spices and seasonings are amazing adding to our experience! We enjoy the variety of flavors and dishes - my taste buds are in heaven! We dine here twice a year ( 2+ hour drive) and are never disappointed! Planning our next visit already ~~~ Thank you Jenna and all the staff for making us feel like part of the family!

    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.
