Rio Brazil in Chester promises an unlimited meat experience, and my family and I recently visited to celebrate my son's birthday. We had a reservation for 1:30 PM, but we were seated promptly upon our early arrival, a smooth start to our meal. The concept is a familiar one for a Brazilian steakhouse. You're given a two-sided card—green for "yes please" and red for "no thanks"—to signal to the roaming servers whether you'd like a slice of meat from the skewers they carry. The staff explained the process and menu pricing clearly, and when we mentioned that one of us prefers meat well-done, they assured us it wouldn't be a problem and we just needed to ask. The salad bar was a definite highlight. It was well-stocked and everything looked fresh, offering a nice variety of sides to go with the main event. Unfortunately, the main event itself fell short. Despite the initial assurances and the menu's promise to cook meat to your liking, getting a well-done cut proved to be a constant struggle. We never received a single well-done piece. This was a significant letdown, especially since we were told to simply let the waiters know. We also noticed that servers would often carve for only one person at the table and then walk away, even when everyone at our table had their cards set to green. Overall, our experience was just average. The unlimited meat concept is great in theory, but the execution didn't quite match our expectations, particularly regarding the meat preferences. While the salad bar was excellent, the issues with the service and the meat meant we likely won't be returning. It's also worth noting that a 10% optional service charge is automatically added to the bill, so be sure to check before paying.

Went here to celebrate my 40th and had such a lovely birthday meal! ⭐ Highly recommend there’s so much choice. My partner really enjoyed all the meats, especially the lamb! While I was impressed with the wide range of vegetarian options. The spicy pasta was delicious and the salad bar had an incredible variety. We’ll definitely be returning. A special mention to the staff for making the evening feel extra special – especially Jordan, who looked after our table wonderfully.
