My wife, Cindy, and I recently planned to celebrate our anniversary with dinner at Rios Brazilian…read moreSteakhouse. We've enjoyed Rios in the past, and because I have very little free time, it's been more than a year since our last visit. We looked forward to a quiet evening together. I found the Rios business card I had saved, called the telephone number printed on it, spoke directly with a woman at the restaurant, and made a reservation. At no point during that conversation did she mention that Rios had moved from Nazareth to Easton about a year earlier. She also did not ask whether we knew about the new location or confirm the current address. On the evening of our reservation, we drove to the address on the business card, only to find the restaurant permanently closed. Understandably confused, I called the same telephone number again. Someone answered and then told me Rios had moved to downtown Easton. We immediately drove to the new location. Unlike the former restaurant, which had its own parking lot, the Easton location required us to circle around, search for downtown street parking, and scour our vehicle and belongings for quarters since we didn't bring a credit card to pay for metered parking. After everything we had already been through, we still arrived only a few minutes late for our reservation. When I entered the restaurant, I explained what had happened and why I was upset. I will be honest: I was frustrated, and the conversation became heated. However, our complaint was simple and reasonable. When someone calls the restaurant to make a reservation, especially using the same telephone number the restaurant has used for years, the employee taking the reservation should confirm the current location. One sentence during that telephone call could have prevented the entire situation. We were not looking for anything free. We were not asking for special treatment. All we wanted was an acknowledgment that the situation could have been better handled and an apology. Instead, the hostess became defensive. When my wife entered and tried to explain that we simply wanted someone to understand why we were upset, we were told we were not welcome to eat at Rios and had to leave. After owning and operating businesses for many years, I understand that mistakes happen. What matters is how a business responds when a mistake inconveniences a customer. A simple apology would have ended the matter. Instead, a preventable communication failure turned into an embarrassing and disappointing end to what should have been a special anniversary dinner with my wife. Because we were never allowed to sit down and eat, I cannot comment on the food at the new location. This review focuses strictly on the reservation process, the lack of communication, and how our concerns were handled once we arrived. I hope the owners take this seriously and ensure employees confirm the current Easton address when accepting telephone reservations, particularly from returning customers who may still have the restaurant's former business card. I also hope the staff receives better guidance on how to listen, apologize, and de-escalate a customer's concern rather than becoming defensive and turning the customer away. We left shocked, embarrassed, and deeply disappointed. This is not how loyal returning customers, or any customers, should be treated. We will NEVER eat at Rios Brazilian Steakhouse in Easton, Pennsylvania again.

This is an extremely popular blue collar spot in Danbury that became really special to me as a undergrad student and has remained an amazing place. The Pao de queijo is amazing with the right balance of chewiness with a nice crust on the outside. Picanha and beef ribs are also outstanding-- the ribs are incredibly rich, tender and flavorful. The beans are also seasoned to perfection. Hot bar is also really nice and overall you can make a really satisfying, personalized meal for yourself at a reasonable cost. I recommend coming before 9 PM because they start running out of stuff and hot bar looks rough at night. Also definitely give the complimentary spicy peppers in oil a try-- super spicy but delicious.

My…read morelunch certainly "filled me up", but like other fellow Yelpers have stated in their reviews, some of the meat selections were very salty. The meats that were not as salty tasting were on the bland side, I just kinda expected to experience "more flavor", and it simply just wasn't there. I lived in the Deep South for a year, and the Q found in that region simply blows away what I experienced today. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I couldn't help but think that. The location of the Banana Brasil Grille is conveniently located near Rt8, so it was easy to get back on to the highway to continue my journey after my lunch. Overall, I'd say it was a mediocre lunch, I can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star Rating, IMO.

After anticipating visiting here for quite some time, we planned a special birthday dinner and…read morecould not have been more disappointed. Simply put, our $600 dining experience was pathetic to say the least. So let's take it from the top..... Made a reservation a week beforehand and proceeded to be walked passed numerous available tables to be seated completely in the back of the restaurant by the kitchen door. Let's just say.. no windows, no atmosphere just a kitchen door swinging open and shut the entire meal and UNBEARABLE HEAT. It must've been 85 degrees where our table was and we could've been easily sat somewhere else to alleviate this issue but instead when we told the staff how uncomfortable it was they said they'd turn the AC down and made a joke about us having the meat sweats... This was not a laughing matter, be professional, you claim to be an upscale establishment. The service was comical. We've dined at plenty of Brazilian steakhouses before so we knew the routine but talk about being annoyed the entire meal. After being in our seats for no more than a minute we are bombarded by 2 or 3 servers at once with meat. How about a greeting and some drinks first, give us a second to get settled. My aggravation really started when we were served HOT WATER, not ice water, not room temperature water but hot water. We had to ask for glasses of ice but it melted in a few short minutes. Trying to make the best out of the situation we ordered a bottle of wine and sure enough the red wine was hot in temperature as well. Knowing we were fighting a losing battle with this heat we did our best to eat and made the effort to leave quickly. Somehow we went from being bombarded with servers to just sitting around hoping someone would come to our table to offer us another meat or anything at this point. Yes, our cards were all flipped to the green side. I even stuck it on my forehead at one point using all the sweat dripping down my face. In conclusion, what a terrible dining experience...by the end we walked out drenched in sweat after begging for the check. Not even a simple apology for anything. I could go on and on but I leave it at this, $600 well spent I guess. You should be ashamed of yourselves LeBlon Steakhouse, thank you for ruining my birthday dinner. Side note: Don't believe the hype like I did, the buffet was severely lacking in options and the food was sub par.

I went through the salad and hot side bar and tried a little of everything--black beans and plantains were especially good. Before checking out, I stopped at the grill for sausage, picanha, and brisket. The meat was perfect: well seasoned, tender, and clearly the highlight. Portions were generous, and the whole meal (including a tall passion fruit juice) came out to about $25, which felt like excellent value. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is casual and functional rather than fancy. Pro tip: pay attention to timing--when Mass lets out nearby, it fills up fast. Highly recommend, especially for meat lovers. Come hungry. I'd absolutely return.

VERY fair and respectable prices for the portions served. No problem there! Had my dish had an 'actual steak' as I was expecting, and not a sheet of thin meat as you would find in a Philly Cheesesteak, the meal would have been 5-star -- instead just a 1!

We were able to make a reservation, and the restaurant was kind enough to extend our reservation when we were delayed -- especially on one of their busiest nights of the week. Maria was exceptionally nice and helpful in making reservations. Food was delicious and enjoyable throughout all the courses. The Picanha and Beef Short Ribs were my favorites of the Rodizio. My parents split a steak entree and the salmon - the restaurant was kind enough to split both entrees on two plates for each of them. Both servings were generous. Had an Old Fashioned and a Caipirinha - both were excellent. They also have an extensive wine and whiskey menu. Service was pretty good. I would say the only hiccup was the food took forever to come, which seems strange for Rodizio. But I attribute the delay to the tardiness of two folks in our party, and a little inexperience of our server. But aside from that, he did a good job. We got to meet the manager Tatiana, who was fabulous - you can tell she cares about her craft, and the owner Joe, who was exceptionally kind and friendly.
