About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    I've been here a few times, the food is always good. I love the pineapples with the cinnamon! The service is good, too. I do wish the seating was a little more intimate. There is no place to put your purse and the chairs don't allow you to hang it on the chair either so you have to hold it or wear it. It's a little annoying. Not a deal breaker, but definitely could elevate the place if there were booths added.

    We had a 7 PM Reservation for two on my birthday on Tuesday, April 15th. Our experience was delightfu! Our server, Adrian was charming and very helpful. I don't know his name, but there was another genleman in a white shirt and tie who was wonderful, too. The food was superb, as was my first Cairipina(?), the Brazilian National cocktack. The salad bar was extentsive and absolutely fresh, and had items such as Shrimp , Chicken Salad, Marinated Salmon, all manner of vegetable and fruit salads. This is more than enough for someone like my wife who does not like to eat much meat. She was completely happy. I, on the other hand, am a real Carnivore - the meat was superb, served at yout table, hot and done the way you like it! I certainly got my money's worth!!! It was my Birthday, so Adrian gave us a complimentary dessert which my wife and I shared - it was absolutely decadent, and was complimented by a Double Espresso and Brazilian Coffee. We left completely satisfied, and will definitely return. I have also eaten at the Texas de Brazil Restaurant in Short Pump, and, IMHO, Rio De Brazil blows them away on all counts!

    Three adults in our party: all agreed that our visit to this restaurant was an experience worth having. Friendly, efficient service, a wide variety of well-prepared food, and the constant flow/variety of meats was truly amazing. Please: do not miss the cinnamon-sugar roasted pineapple; it’s a great way to finish the meal. This is a well-run Brazilian steak house.

    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!
