Tender Crush, sushi, burgers, cheesesteaks, burritos, ramen


























"A food-hall-style replacement that took the place of the buffet at the Rio, part of the same trend of resorts substituting buffets with curated food-hall offerings." - Janna Karel

"The resort’s former buffet has been transformed into the Canteen Food Hall, part of the property’s broader effort to modernize dining offerings and refresh guest options." - Ryan Slattery

"The new food hall’s most exciting restaurant is Tender Crush, a New York-style chicken tender spot from the founders of Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer. Other restaurants inside include Nama Nama, with made-to-order sushi rolls, Attaboy Burgers, cheesesteak chain Tony Luke’s, Southland Burrito Co., and Shogun Ramen." - Janna Karel


"Located on part of the former Carnival World Buffet near the Rio's entrance, the Canteen Food Hall is a six-restaurant collection that replaces the buffet and marks the first phase of renovations at the off-Strip resort; it aims to give guests individual dining experiences rather than the generalized offerings of a buffet and is part of Dreamscape's push to get more people back to work and provide spots to eat, drink, and have fun." - Janna Karel

"Set to open in January 2024, the Canteen Food Hall will be a hub that brings five new dining destinations to the Rio, many with ties to restaurants currently on the Las Vegas Strip, and is the centerpiece of the property's effort to modernize its dining offerings." - Janna Karel
