At first were the only ones in the restaurant. So we weren’t sure if we should stay. It’s really nice inside. Service was excellent. The food for the most part was delicious. The only negative is the price. The price does not include drinks or dessert.
We have been to two other Brazilian steakhouses in the past. The menus, atmosphere, food quality, price and service were very similar to Rio De Brazil. The food selection, quality, and level of service is remarkable. It is a formula that works and Rio nails it. The cost is not for the faint hearted but this is a top notch special occasion restaurant, a place you and your guests will remember. The meat selection is plentiful, well prepared and delicious, the salad bar is fresh and has a variety of items not found on the average salad bar. The deserts are out of this world. The service you will receive is second to none. A couple of tips to save on your bill: initially you will be given a choice between a bottle of spring or sparkling water; decline both and just order your drinks. This will save you $7.00. Later in the meal you will be offered a shot of Brazilian rum. Decline this as well ($9.00) per shot.Parking: Restaurant is in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking close to the door.

The staff was amazing and the salad bar is delicious. Some of the meats were over done and the lamb tasted horrible. If they offer you liquor at the table just know it's $9 a shot.

Absolutely amazing. Used to drive to Ashville or Knoxville for Brazilian steakhouses, this is in town and better food. Would absolutely recommend to everyone.The experience and food is even better in their new building/location.

My husband and I went for our anniversary. A wonderful experience, food and staff were amazing. Definitely a special treat because of the price but worth every dime.My favorites were the picanha,, flank steak and Parmesan pork. The salad bar was almost too pretty to eat but very delicious and high quality food! Thank you to all who helped us have a wonderful anniversary experience!

The food was great but felt like I was rushed and when they bring the meat out to you most of it is about 2 bites. The server made the experience a lot better he was super nice. Like I said the main reason for the 3 stars is because of how little meat we

It was a bit noisy and a cafeteria like atmosphere. The meats were on the tough side, and they kept bringing the less expensive cuts of meat and finally brought the ribeye and picanah at the end, which I am sure is to save money.Servers were attentive throughout the evening.The salad bar was excellent, but there wasn't any smoked salmon as advertised.

Food was not worth even half the price charged. Every single time we had meat served it was cut so thin it was see through. Buffet food was not great either. The experience we got was not how I imagined it would be after reading reviews. Meat was gristly and thin with overpowering garlic taste. Will not be back.

Oh my, if you haven't tried this placed, you should. I'm stuffed and the experience is worth the feeling of fullness.
I admittedly didn’t eat here, but I picked up a Doordash order. The staff was so nice! They told me to have a look at their salad bar and I was very nice! They offered me a drink (water) while I waited. The food smelled amazing! I’m not their target customer, but this will be a place I remember for a special occasion.

Great food, great service, and a great experience. The price does make it something you probably can't do often, but as an occasional thing? It is worth every cent for the experience alone at the very least.

We always enjoy eating here. A little pricy but good value for the money. They have just added Sunday brunch with a slightly more narrow array of meats at a lower price, which we will probably try. The staff is bothy efficient and friendly.
