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.

    The food was very good but we were there 30 minutes and did not have a waitress to take our drink order. I had to walk to the station and ask a worker for drinks. We got drinks and we were not checked on at all after that. The guys bringing the food were great but the wait staff was non existent. Next time, we will drive to Pigeon Forge, Knoxville, or Asheville.

    Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, the only issue was our waitress she seemed a little overwhelmed. We waited a while for utensils, refills on our drinks and she only checked on us a couple of times.

    We have been to another Rio De Brazil and this one was not great. The service was very slow and we waited 15 minutes before we even had a wait staff come to the table, then she left and another girl showed up. She was too young to serve us wine so the bartender had to bring it to the table. The salad bar was nice but the meat was not that good, pork was very dry the garlic steak had no flavor. The sirloin steak was very tough and chewy. The bacon wrap fillet was OK too much fat in the sausage and to much garlic on the chicken we had to ask for the lamb and never did get a lamb chop. Will not be back to this location

    The server was great, they had this grilled banana and grilled pineapple which was good and also the salad bar was good….. the meat was very dry except for the chicken and ribs.

    Everything was amazing. I brought my girlfriend here for our 1 year anniversary and she was needless to say delighted. The food was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and to top it all off we were given a free dessert to celebrate. The service there is one of the best.

    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.
