About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
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.

    We continue to receive a consistent experience when we dine here! The manager was very engaging throughout the evening and made sure our favorite, the pineapple, visited our table! All the meats were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server was friendly, though he didn't visit our table as much as others have in the past. Of course, the restaurant was very busy, so that was understandable and isn't a negative in our eyes. We highly recommend this steakhouse!

    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!
