Glen Allen

About the restaurant

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.

Delicious food. Our server was extremely friendly, patient and attentive! The menu has quite the vast selection of seafood. Raw Chesapeake oysters and the octopus were spot on. Only lamentation is the noise level, it's a very wide open space so voices carry. I was speaking pretty loudly for a good portion of my stay. I would still eat here again regardless!

Impeccable service. Very busy for a Wednesday. Our server kept us informed of the kitchen delays. The manager visited our table to apologize for the delay. Very well managed establishment and very well trained employees. The manager paid for our appetizer. We were celebrating our parents 29th wedding anniversary and they treated our parents to Vera’s Lemon Cookies (AMAZING….OMG). The food tasted delicious but it was barely warm. Willing to overlook the temperature of our food and will definitely visit again. Very well trained management and employees.

Casa del Barco is always a solid option if you are in Downtown Richmond. It's a higher-end Mexican restaurant. We've eaten there many times. The menu is not your typical Mexican restaurant menu. No combo dinners. The Fajitas and quesadillas are both excellent.
