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.

    Had a great celebratory dinner here. Great service, location, food was great. Good selection of steaks, chicken, etc. Children enjoyed it also. They got to try lots of new items. The traditional chicken salad and seafood salad from Brazil were very good as well as some of then included fruits, plantains and pineapple w cinnamon. Servers were very polite and courteous. Drinks were very good. Enjoyed my birthday dinner here. Cheese bread was a little garden than I'm used to, and desserts were very good quality and delicious.

    Had the opportunity to make a reservation on short notice. We arrived 30 minutes early and were seated promptly. Service was prompt and amazing and all of the varieties of food were fantastic. The meats were cooked perfectly and were served at the table with perfect timing. Only advice is not fill up on the salad bar before the main dishes are served. Excellent 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.
    Rio Brazil SteakhouseResponded on February 23, 2025
    Thanks for the review, Azaria! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food and found our service satisfactory. We apologize for the limited menu and the mix-up with your mocktail. We'll certainly take your feedback into account as we strive to improve our guests' experiences. We hope to see you again soon at Rio Brazil Steakhouse for an even better experience! Warm regards, Management
