I came for dinner. I had a great dinner and food experience. Maykel and Yamilet made our experience unforgettable. They both were attentive and gave great costumer service. This was one good Brazilian stake house. The meats were good quality and tasted great. They also had some seafood and chicken. We enjoyed our time here. We all left full and happy. The atmosphere and customer service was great. A few people here were celebrating a birthday and we got to watch. The restaurant way of celebrating birthdays was awesome. It was cheerful, contagious and fun. This is a great place for a birthday. read more

I will not be coming back to this place. I did not like the meats, and the salad bar had very few options. On top of that, the items they did have did not taste good!!!! This place is expensive, and unfortunately the food did not match the price. They even charged me $16 for a bottle of water, which was completely unreasonable. Overall, very disappointing experience!! read more

I guess there were signs this restaurant wasn't going to go as expected when I called several times to make a reservation and either 1. they didn't answer 2. couldn't hear me on the phone or 3. the reservation is done on WhatsApp and no one responds. The restaurant was empty, yet they were pushy for us to eat and leave. After a while, they stopped being pushy and rarely passed by. Our server? We never saw her. I had to ask other servers to find her so we can get our check. It was terrible service and on top of that it's automatic 18% gratuity added. Small salad and side bar. We were seated in the front and the live music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk. Some meats were better than others. For $50 and some change a person there are better restaurants around. read more

This freaking place is amazing It's not that big and the salar bar is not a giant salar bar but the meat!!!! The meat is absolutely delicious and completely different than other places including the most popular Brazilian Steakhouses. If you have the opportunity to come you ask for the gentleman in the photo, you won't regret it, he gave us the most delicious cuts of the night. read more

Visited this restaurant for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised by the decoration and ambience. The venue is small and it's very inviting. Friendly staff took care of us. Customer service could improve because the overall presentation of meats was very slow. A time there wasn't enough meats brought/served to ANY of the tables although the restaurant was full. As for the best meats my favorites were the picahna steak and the octopus. The salad bar was part of the dinner for $39,99. Included some potatoes salad, regular salads, soups, rice, beans and also roasted potatoes. Parking was available outside the restaurant. (On a very important suggestion please take care of the floors because they were slippery) read more

Staff were nice and friendly. Decor is not up to my personal taste, especially the golden chairs, sorry. Meat wasn't bad , tasted ok. Price is half of fogo de chão, so do not expect the same quality. Overall I think the price is fair to the quality. Salad bar does not offer too much varieties but, again, it is fair to the price. Too confusing ? Just go and enjoy some meat. read more

I love this place. I come here a few times a year and my experience is always great. I don't speak much Spanish but the staff accommodates me the best they can. Great salad bar selection, great meat and good variety. You can't beat it for the price! read more

Food was really mid, ambience was good, they sang happy birthday to my brother and that was good, but the service was awful, the servers didn't take our drink orders until half an hour after we started to eat, and then she took 30 more minutes to give us the drinks, and not all of them, she really disappeared until the point we had to go to her just to order water for the table, and she looked annoyed at us for trying to order more, which is already bad, until you see that there is an 18% gratuity, really was difficult to enjoy the food with all that, without mentioning that the food at the salad bar was really bad, and after some point, the guys who serve meat just disappeared and stop serving us. If I could give this restaurant 0 stars I would, service is horrible and the food doesn't make it any better read more

Limited options at the buffet or lack of ( several of the container were empty) options were not fresh we arrived around 8pm prime diner time only 3 tables were occupied at arrival time us being the third The meat selection is limited and lower grade cuts Drinks were good Service ok I would not recommend, I rather stick to Texas Brazil or Fogo de chao if you want a churrasquearía experience There is a sub charge if you don't pay with cash , a smaller restaurant maybe can get away with this type of practice but an establishment where you are spending upwards of 300 per visit should not pass this expense to their costumers if you can't afford the processing fee of using credit cards you should not use them and make it an only cash establishment. read more

Rio Grande Churrascaria - A grill octopus options - Brazilian Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

This is my 4 or 5th time coming. First 2 were great! This was about 3 years ago. Unfortunately I feel it has done down hill, slowly but surely. Service is awful. Slow and sometimes aggressive. They just want to thrown on your plate whatever they're passing by. Meat options are not consistent. The salad bar is fair. Entertainment is meh. Overall the ambiance is casual and for what they charge I don't think it's worth it. Lastly when we got home everyone went running to the bathroom. Tummy aches and #2's all around. Safe to say , I'm done coming here. It's lost its charm and quality. read more

Great family lunch. Lots of options for everyone. Salads, veggies, soups, rice, black beans, ceviche, fish, and of course all the meats. Let me not forget about the fried cheese with honey, the Brazilian cheese bread with Guava sauce, the mashed potatoes & the sweet fried plantains. So much deliciousness, no room for dessert. Great service by all the staff. Looking forward to dining at Rio Grande again. read more

The place is pretty and the service was great but the meats did not really surprise any of us. Very mediocre flavors. Personally, for the price I would rather dine at Texas De Brazil. We did not feel it was worth $200 at all. The sides were great and flavorful but the main food is supposed to be the meats. They all tasted the same and a lot of them were well done instead of "medium". read more

Came here for the $26 lunch service on a Friday. I've never been to Texas de Brazil so I don't have a point of reference but I think this was a decent all you can eat for the price. I skipped most of the buffet options, the salad did not look super appetizing. I will say the chicken soup and rice and black beans were amazing and the perfect sides for my meat. The buffet did not feel the most sanitary but I feel that way about most buffets. The meat service was great! Everything looked warm and fresh and the servers were constantly circling back with new options, more than they needed to. I was a big fan of anything beef, but did not enjoy the pork and sausage options. Our waitress however was not very attentive and I was without water for a while and struggled to ask for the check. The inside is very aesthetic, great for pictures and I'm sure the events there are fun. Would recommend for groups, especially during lunch when it is less busy and there is no wait for the buffet or meat service. read more

I'd recommend visiting this place if you've never been to a Texas de Brazil type of restaurant. I say this because if you have been to a Brazilian steakhouse before coming here, you will be disappointed. To me, this is a cheap (not dollar amount) version of Texas de Brazil. Pros: The space is decent and decorated nice and the food kept coming with decent variety of meats. Friendly service. Music if it's your birthday. Cons: Wasn't asked how we like our meat cooked so we were unsure of what we were getting each time they came around. The salad bar was tight and unorganized. A little chaotic. The restaurant is a much more relaxed and loud version of the nicer Brazilian steakhouses. Decent time so check them out. read more

Food: Delicious meats cooked to your liking! The staff walk around the entire establishment serving you the meats. This is very similar to Texas and Brazil with the RED & GREEN table coin you flip that is red for stop and green bring on the meats! Haha The quality was certainly better than the knife and Texas and Brazil! The red Sangria was fresh and made with a good quality wine. The salad bar/ hot bar has all your Cuban favorites like rice and beans, chickpeas, salads, bread, chicken, and more! *Drinks & Dessert are not included on price seen below* Lunch prices (11am-4pm) M-F: $25.99 Dinner prices (4pm- 10pm) M-Sun: $31.19 Brunch prices (11am-5pm) Sat & Sun: $31.19 Service: Was quick and always attentive of our needs. Ambiance: Feels like you're in the Amazon rainforest with the modern decor. Very cool vibes (: Highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit! read more

This place in Hialeah had very good food for the price. The meats were delicious and tender. The ambience was very nice and cozy. Staff were extremely friendly there was an amazing sauce to top our meats. The salad was ok with fresh veggies. The only drawback was only one person spoke English luckily my son interrupted. I definitely would be back because it's good and a great value lunch was $25.99. All you can eat. read more

This was a very disappointing experience. They charge for water, and the gratuity is automatically included without being clearly explained upfront, which feels misleading. The variety of meat cuts is very limited for a churrascaria, and the overall quality does not justify the price at all. For what you pay, you expect much better selection and transparency. I would not recommend this place and definitely would not return. read more

They do not offer all the meat, items they have, u have ask what kinda meat u want. service, is worst I have seem. The servant offer the food to the people infront of us, and behind of us, never even look at our table. Poor service, will never go back that place. Ernesto is the servant that won't serve our table. read more

Food was great and service was as well. All the meat was cooked properly and ata good temperature.

This all-you-can-eat steakhouse is affordable and delicious. The couscous salad from the salad bar was tasty, and they even had octopus as one of the options. The drinks are delightful as well; I tried the passion fruit and mango caipirinha, and they were fantastic. As for dessert, the crema catalana is the one to choose. The prices are extremely fair. I would definitely visit again. read more

I must say my first time here and it was amazing from service to good & drinks . Let's start it is a $25.99 buffet with a 6 cuts of meats, grilled cheese with honey, full salad bar including rice, beans, soup, Potajes and mashed potatoes, specialty drinks and full bars as well as regular sodas. I will begging with the salad bar nothing else needed to accompany the 6 cuts of beef and which also includes lamb, chorizo and chicken wrapped in bacon all meats very well seasoned. Drinks I had a sangria the best one yet. Service was exceptional my server Carlos was besides very handsome (LOL) attentive , sweet and lifted my spirit making my dinner experience so pleasant I was there on a pre birthday for me and he made sure I enjoyed my dinner. Everyone else from the ones to brought the meats to the ladies with big smiles made the air feel so jolly. The restaurant has a lovey vibe and also has live music, on certain days and hours. The only negative thing I would say is the tip when they first bring you the check it says 18% tip included and when you give method of payment they bring the check with the previous amount that stated before on tip now states service charge and gives you the amounts for tip to be added. Did not question it because Carlos was amazing. Other than that all was wonderful. read more

The only place I've ever seen with all you can eat grilled octopus! Good Churrascaria! Reasonable price $50 including tip. My only complaint was the bacon wrapped filet bites I was served, we're all too well done. Next time I'll specify medium rare. I'm certain they will deliver. Lots of customers celebrating birthdays here. I'd recommend Rio Grande and it's worth the drive. read more

Rio Grande Churrascaria - Octopus - Brazilian Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

We passed by for lunch. I have to say this place is not consistent. We had been there once before with a bigger party and the food servers passed by often and they had a variety from rare to medium well. This time the food servers would literally pass by our table and not even look our way. They'd offer the tables around us but not us, or they'd start at the back of the room and by time they got to the middle it would be done and they'd have to go get more. They passed by 5 times total and always the same two servers and the meat was RARE, all of it. Which if you like it cool, but again there wasn't variety. Our server also disappeared and we didn't see her until the end when we asked for the bill. There was live music and that was nice. But unfortunately it's not worth it. I think it depends on where you're sat and how bloody you like your meat. read more

The aroma of sizzling meats filled the air as I stepped into Rio Grande. I settled in, anticipating the rodizio feast. Succulent cuts of beef, pork, and chicken paraded past, each more flavorful than the last. The team, with their expert knife skills, expertly carved each piece to perfection. I couldn't resist the tender octopus, a fun and unexpected addition to the traditional offerings. The vibrant energy was contagious, fueled by the live music that perfectly complemented the dining experience. With lunch for $25.99, dinner and brunch for $39.99, making it a cannot miss, this was a truly memorable and satisfying culinary adventure. PollitoPecks read more

The ambience was pleasant and enjoyable. Customer service was good and fast. I went for lunch with friends on a Sunday. The price was fair. The salad bar was complete and with a lot of varieties. The chicken soup according to my friend was delicious. Rodizio style restaurant, meats cooked to your desire. My favorites were the colita de cuadril, filet mignon and the picanha. The white sangria was good. read more

My initial visit to this establishment was for dinner on a Tuesday evening, and I noted that it was moderately crowded. I also observed that they offer reservations through their Instagram page or via phone and the WhatsApp app, providing convenient booking options. Regarding the atmosphere, I found it to be welcoming, with a staff that exuded a friendly and familial vibe. The restaurant boasts some captivating Instagram-worthy spots, and there's an abundance of space. One unique aspect that stood out to me was their birthday celebration ritual. When they sing "Happy Birthday," they create an exhilarating atmosphere by dimming the lights, introducing strobe lights, and playing an infectious, club-like rendition of the birthday song, which added a delightful touch to the experience. Turning to the food offerings, I was pleased to discover a well-stocked salad bar with a variety of options. The rice and beans were particularly enjoyable, and I must commend their chicken in sauce, which was exceptionally tender and featured delightful tomatoes. My husband, an aficionado of churrasco, did express some disappointment as it's only available in medium rare or medium well-done preparations, and his preference is medium. While the flavor was commendable, the cooking temperature didn't align with his taste. On a brighter note, I would recommend trying the picahna, especially the crispy portions. It's packed with flavor and offers a delightful juxtaposition of crispiness and juiciness. The sausage is another item that you absolutely should not miss, and the combination of cheese with honey was simply divine. In terms of beverages, I opted for the lemonade, and I'm pleased to report that it was a perfect choice. The regular flavor struck an ideal balance, with just the right amount of sweetness and tartness. I can't quite recall our server's name, but I think it was Fernando. He was super friendly and kept a close eye on us to ensure we got prompt attention from the meat servers who were roaming around (it's your typical Brazilian-style steakhouse where you use a green/red coaster to signal if you want more meat or not). I definitely recommend coming here with a hearty appetite because it's totally worth it for the price they charge. read more

We were a big group that arrived around different times. However, once we were all seated no one came to explain what to do as far as the salad bar and when the meat comes around. The place was extremely loud. We ran out of water, and the waitress took a very long time to bring us more. At the end I tried to get the waitresses attention to ask for water and the bill. She looked at me, and walked away. She did this to my husband too. We will not be returning. read more

I randomly saw an IG post about this place and decided to check it out. I was very impressed with the service and the variety of meats. We got to try many different types of meats, ribeye, churrasco, pincanha, to name a few. They were all very well seasoned and cooked medium which is my preference. In addition to the wide meat selection we also got to try the pao de queijo which are these cheese and bread balls, delicious! Also we tried the grilled cheese which was also very good. The side selection is good enough, I'm rarely one to get too many sides as I rather enjoy the meats, but they had a basic salad bar with sides like rice, beans, potatoes, etc. For the price point I think this is beyond a good deal. Overall a great experience and the service was so friendly and attentive, I could feel everyone we interacted with was genuinely interested in catering to us and making sure we enjoyed our experience. Highly recommend. read more
