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.

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.

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.

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!
