Rio De Brazil is a unique, all you can eat “Churrascaria” featuring a full salad bar with over 35 items, Brazilian hot dishes and a “parade” of different types of meats sliced at your table by our Gauchos.

Along with a full bar, we have a beautiful walk-in wine cellar with a fine selection of wines from Argentina, Chile, California and of course, our famous Caiphirinha cocktail.

    We arrived early in the afternoon there was only three other tables. Service was quick and we went to the buffet to select a few items. The first round of meats came quickly and they were thoroughly enjoyable. Next time we go, we’ll turn the button to red to give us a little more time to have the appetizers. Instead, we pigged😊 out at course after course of sliced meat. It was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food and will be going again. It’s nice to go early.

    Have been going for over 5 years and love the new location. The only thing that threw me off this time, was the $7 a piece bottles of water when I said I wanted just plain water. Aside from that, which I know to pay attention to for next time, everything else was great as always.

    Decent place all in all. The house special was absolutely amazing, but it seems like everything that wasn't beef just wasn't as good as you'd expect for the price point. The servers were very friendly and eager to help with anything. You definitely won't leave here hungry

    If you’re a meat eater like I am you will be overjoyed. But if not there is a super selection on the salad bar. And just wait till you try the deserts be sure to ask about the ones made in house. Love it I will continue my visits every time I’m got a free night.

    We have been to Rio de Brazil before and always have a great experience. The food is phenomenal, the service is exceptional, and the ambiance is quiet and inviting. Our server Martin was fantastic! He was very helpful and pleasant to talk to. We are looking forward to our next visit!

    It is always very cold in there so we took our light jackets. We had never been there for brunch on Sunday. It was pretty good and a little cheaper than for dinner service.
