About the restaurant

Rio Brazil Steakhouse set on the outskirts of Richmond and Glen Allen.
A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a "churrascaria," is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their "rodízio" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.
Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as "gauchos," carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.
In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.

The food is always incredible. They seemed a bit short staffed, but it very well could have been due to how the local boil advisory was affecting operations. Regardless, their staff kept smiles on their faces and did their best to please a table looking for medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done. 🎪. They did a great job asking which dishes we wanted and making sure we got them all!

Fantastic authentic Italian meal! Party of 5 and everyone loved their meal. From the appetizers of the calamari, fried mozzarella and meatballs to the fresh green salads to the main entree of ravioli, chicken picatta, veal parmesan and seafood risotto. Everything was excellent!

Fun environment, excellent food and service. For apps, we had crab dip, brie, and duck drummies. For dinner, our table had the pork shank, meatloaf, vegetarian pot pie, shrimp andouille, catfish and red snapper. The crab dip stood out as the best app and the pork shank and meatloaf were the best meals. Everything was good but those were the highlights.

Great food although my steak was a little overdone… got mushrooms instead of potatoes but server fixed that quickly . Had to wait awhile for my ice tea refill, they were making more tea… a little slow on delivery if found as took over two hours to eat our meal. Overall the experience was good, and gave us a free dessert fur our anniversary. Very sweet server but she had many large tables to wait on. Will return because we love the salads!!!

I LOVE Southern Kitchen and the new location has excellent parking. The food and service has always been very good and now it's very convenient. Always select catfish bites and a side salad is perfect. I never have room for dessert!

Casa Del Barco is good, but a little overpriced. You are paying for the location. Our service was excellent and the food was good, but it is more expensive than most Mexican restaurants in the area.
