5 star review for 5 star experience
We booked jesmond restaurant, again weren't disappointed really great staff from walking in to waddling out in the best sense.
Throughly enjoyed the whole experience, everything was explained and we enjoyed the experience immensely.
Food was excellent and the service can't be faulted.
Thanks for a fantastic evening
Great experience
We visited the Warrington restaurant tonight and as always had a an exceptional dining experience. The food was amazing and the service was exemplary. Thank you Pam for looking after us, service with a smile. We will be visiting again very soon.
Great Value 100% satisfaction
We were delighted with our visit to the Rio Brazilian Steak House in York. Being newbies in the area, we were not sure where to eat. We tried a couple of other Steak restaurants that were fully booked.
TBH I am glad that they were, this restaurant was first class, the choice of food and service were excellent. A great range of meats and salads and choices of drinks (extra cost of course).
The restaurant represented excellent value for money, the food tasty and plentiful and the staff were warm and friendly.
My advice, if you visit York make sure you eat here, we certainly will when we return.
VERY DISAPPOINTED
Turned up for our booking 15 minutes earlier. A group for 12, booked in advance and had texts of confirmation. We all got turned away as they said they could not cater for us all. Rio steakhouse in DURHAM. This was for a birthday party. Very very very disappointed and won’t be back!!!
Excellent restaurant
Excellent restaurant, really good quality food and atmosphere. The staff are always really accommodating as well, happy to bring out food that's less popular if you request it. It might seem a bit pricey and that's the only reason I don't go more often even if you do get your money's worth.
Would definitely recommend.
Warrington- outstanding
Thank you, all staff are amazing and good food all really tasty, great selection and none stop with great meats.
We will be back, it definitely puts you in a food coma 😊
Incredible amount of food
Wow absolutely incredible! The amount of food you get is unbelievable for the price. Unlimited salad on a buffet style, unlimited chips and peppercorn sauce, unlimited cheese bread and chicken croquettes and of course the meat served to your table. Every cut of steak you can think of, as well as chicken, gammon, pork and lamb. Friendliest staff in the Chester restaurant ever! Cannot fault
What a Feast!
What a feast! My brother and I had never tried the Brazilian Churrasco dining experience before, so our visit to Rio Steakhouse in Chester was both new and exciting. The meats are all served in turn at the table in the classic Rodizio style. The staff were attentive and very welcoming, like you were a guest in their own home. We liked that a lot. Now on to the meal. First up is a trip to the extensive salad bar. You have to see this to believe it. From fine cheeses to wonderful Jamon Serano, canapes, pickles, and other tasty morsels - the choices are so varied you have to be wary of leaving enough room for the meats. The meats are carved and served each in-turn at your table. From their succulent signature Picanha (Cap of Rump) to tender and juicy filet mignon, each cut seems to improve on the last in both flavour and succulence. No complaints about the price either, in fact I think it is great value-for-money. Highly recommended.
Warrington - outstanding
Visited the Warrington restaurant yesterday for the first time for a late afternoon lunch for my friends birthday. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel really welcome, there was even a birthday balloon on the table, salad bar was lovely, meat was amazing & service exceptional. Even went the extra mile & provided a birthday dessert free of charge which was such a nice & appreciated touch. Will 10000% be returning.
Definitely Go, Rio Durham
What an experience!!
Everything was great, the food was lovely, the atmosphere was good and the table service was second to none.
I recommend Rio Durham highly and guarantee you will have a fantastic time and experience.
Gorgeous food & great service (Warrington)
Gorgeous food, great selection, really nice atmosphere and super friendly staff too - we first went for a girls' catch up with old school friends and were really impressed with everything - from the choice of food, salad bar, quality of meat offered and the service.
We have been back several times and would recommend if you are in Warrington.

Great experience at Durham
Went to the Durham site over the weekend, certainly did not feel like a "chain". Fantastic service from the onset and throughout. Would return
Absolutely beautiful food
Absolutely beautiful food, flavours were perfect. The cuts of steak melted in your mouth. Amazing staff too! Couldn't do enough for you, very chatty and efficient. Loved the guy who kept bringing the meat even when we'd said no more! He didn't want us to miss out, amazing. Guys, we've had a fabulous night!
