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.

I should've known that this was gonna be a big disappointment when the restaurant was a furnace and we were sweating like we were in hot yoga not only where we charged for water to drink, but at the end, there was a charge for them to cut the cake and use their plates for our dessert that we brought for the birthday person We came for the Labor Day all you can eat crab legs, and the air conditioning was broken, but no one made us aware until we were 3/4 of the way through our meal and sweating bullets profusely. We kept asking if they could please turn the air-conditioning ON and no one addressed it until the very end, they just kept avoiding talking to us, but I literally felt like I was going to vomit at the table, and at one point one of the managers, I am guessing because he never introduced himself. He said that they are trying to work on it, and they finally brought a carpet drying fan and pointed it away from us so that was kind of not conducive to helping us with the severe warmth of the restaurant. Most most of the beef was either overcooked or it was super tough and very hard to chew definitely disappointed because every time I've ever seen an ad for this restaurant, they show tender and delicious looking meats. They also claimed in their dress code no gym clothes and no casual clothes so I dressed up and so did my husband and all of our party however, most of the restaurant look like they just strolled in from the street and the room we were in had way too many tables we were literally pushed up against the wall and it was not a good experience. The table next to us was like a pack of wild hyenas or animals because they were screaming and Hooten and hollering like they were living in a cave or in a barnyard. It was really not an enjoyable experience. I felt like I was among a bunch of savages and people were dressed in jeans, shorts and very casual attire when on their website they put a strict dress code and thank you for following their dress code. We All agreed to have the All you Can Eat Snow crab legs dinner but ontop of things, we spent $64.95.per person for our meals and they never brought out the Churrasco steak which I was really looking forward to trying and a lot of of the meat and beef was either over salted and Cajun or had jalapeño chimichurri sauce, which we don't eat. They didn't really have too many other plainer choices and definitely did Not have 15 different meats, unless you special requested no seasonings. I think there was maybe only five or six different types of meat. They came around with pork, sausage, Parmesan, chicken and mango chicken, New York strip, lamb, top sirloin, but most of the time it was jalapeño or Cajun crusted the Parmesan chicken and the mango chicken were very tough and fatty. They had a bacon wrapped filet mignon, but that was literally so small. I only got two bites of that, and the bacon was floppy bacon and not well done cooked, so I didn't really eat that because I wanted medium cooked and they never had Churrasco steak and they came around with delicious fillets of salmon, but they only came around one time with the salmon fish fillets and that was delicious, but it was only a small portion of five or six bites and they never came back out with. it To be honest, i was kind of afraid to eat that bacon filet mignion, but it was so Small and I was concerned about the Floppy soft bacon that grossed me out. All in all, the servers and staff looked extremely stressed out and sweated Up and instead of them, making us aware of what was going on with the heat, they never addressed it until the final end and then, all of our party ended up in the bathroom with diarrhea. 10 out of 10 do not recommend Buyer beware

The picanha, ribeye, flank steak, and sausages were not to be missed. The salad bar also had some excellent options that made us feel a little better about gorging on fatty meats, too. Personally, when it comes to all you can eat grillin', I appreciated the wide selection of pickles and sour bites to contrast. And the cheese popovers and garlic bread? Don't be that person who "optimizes for maximum meat consumption," do something joyful with your life and get the extra buttery garlic bread, bro. We filled our plates twice, each of us. My dad had been having trouble eating, but he had some great food at Charkoal's. And again, the staff was super attentive, great with suggestions, and made sure our favorites kept coming out as we asked for them.

They have a 35-40 foot buffet of meats, vegetables and traditional side dishes. We tried them all and the flavors were very satisfying. I should say that I prefer the family run churrascos in lieu of the over commercialized chains. You could feel the close knit family vibe in the front and back of house. The gauchos were wonderful bringing their selections of beef, chicken and linguisa. Cooked to order and very well favored. The favors were good and allowed you to taste the meats and not just the spice. The servers were wonderful. The buffet was well stocked and maintained. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. When we finished the meal the gaucho brought out grilled pineapple for all of us to share. This was a nice tasty touch. They even offered more once it was eaten. Overall a great dinner and a good choice to bring family and friends. We will be back again! Thanks! P.S. they also have a bakery next door as part of the restaurant. Very good looking selections of pies, breads and cakes.

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. My niece and his son apparently went to the same school, so it was truly nice to make the acquaintance. I love to support small business, and it doesn't get better than this. I will make sure to stop here again soon - this was a fantastic experience.

After looking more closely at the different options, this one seemed most aligned to my parents' diet, so we decided on this. I had also asked a colleague who lives in the area about this vs another BBQ place I've visited before in the area (Pork Chops BBQ), and he had good things to say about Flemington BBQ, so I decided on this. When we arrived my parents realized they'd visited this spot before and enjoyed it. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful, though some of the staff have more limited English. Still very hospitable, though, and it's a pretty good space. Lots of seating inside, casual look and feel. This place seemed similar to Clark BBQ, another place we've been to, and this one appears to have more room than the one in Clark (but prices are a bit higher). We ordered three platters - chicken, pork spare ribs, and grilled sardines - and all of the food was really good. All of the meats were nicely crisped and flavored, and the sides were good too (yellow rice, fries, veggies). I liked the food a lot, and I would go back for another meal!

For future visits, I hope to explore deeper into the menu. My one critique on the place - today is a 100 degree day here in Flemington, and the restaurant's dining room was very warm.

For those who do not know, that is a traditional Brazilian Steakhouse experience, where a variety of charcoal barbecued meats are brought table side by Gauchos that then provide you the cut and finish that you would like. For years, Fogo de Chao has been the gold standard in this realm, at least in the US and while the two locations in eastern PA are the only I have been to, we make a point to go there frequently, and I am always specifically looking forward to the picanha steak (a sirloin cut) and the market table. The table is also brought various sides that are delicious as well as the always popular pao de quiejo. Another highlight is definitely their house beer and their expertly crafted cocktails. While expensive, it is worth the price of entry, and one can get a great deal by going for lunch, especially when only selecting the market table. The service and styling of each location is always premium and I have NEVER had a negative experience at a Fogo, unlike that of some other Brazilian steakhouses. The King of Prussia location in particular has a very unique interior washed in stark contrasts of whites, blacks, red and gold that stand out and look beautiful. I will continue going here time after time, and always enjoying the picanha. Secret pro tip: ask for their chimichurri! You have to ask for it and it is outstanding!!!!!
