Rio Grande Churrascaria

A pleasant, clean restaurant with polite staff who care about customer service. Since most of my posts are about good food, this restaurant really surprised me. The prices are great! And on some days, there's live music. Congratulations to everyone at Churrascaria Rio Grande!

We recently celebrated my niece’s wedding at this beautiful restaurant, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail and level of service were absolutely outstanding. The staff was professional, kind, and attentive—truly first-class. The food was exceptional, with every dish perfectly prepared and presented. The ambiance was elegant and charming, making it the perfect setting for such a special occasion. What truly made the difference was the incredible support we received throughout the planning and the event itself. The manager was simply amazing—always available, helpful, and committed to making everything perfect. Thanks to the entire team, the wedding was unforgettable. Highly, highly recommended for any special event!

I came from New York. The meat was absolutely delicious, and I’m so grateful I could enjoy such an abundance of premium octopus. This place was by far the most perfect restaurant I’ve found in Miami. The steak and salad bar were also outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was beautiful. If I ever come back to Florida, I’d love to visit again.

Great place to get all the meat you want, they come to your table with all the options of proteins they have, you pick and choose whatever you want however you wanted. The servers are so friendly and nice. All staff is very appointed and well aware of your presence and make you feel welcome and appreciated of being there. It's just an amazing place to be with delicious food! Worth every single penny!

Was not expecting it to look so fancy. The food was delicious. The servers was constantly at our table with different meats. We went for brunch $39.99, monday-friday $25.99. Definitely would go back during the week. Closer to my house versus driving to Doral for Texas de Brazil.

This was our second time at Rio Grande Churrasqueria, and once again, we absolutely loved it! The food was incredible, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding service. Our server, Enrique, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The gentlemen bringing the meats were also extremely nice, providing top-notch service that made the meal even more enjoyable. My husband ordered a mojito (shoutout to Bartender Miguel!), and he loved it! I had the Tempranillo wine 🍷 and absolutely loved it—perfectly smooth and rich. Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures this time 😅, but trust me, everything was amazing. We’ll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend this place, not just for the delicious food but for the overall dining experience and exceptional service.

Let me star that the services was awesome. But If you know anything about meat, this is not the place for you. The meat was tough, dry, and ridiculously chewy—more like jerky than a proper cut. Zero tenderness, zero flavor. Honestly, it felt like they cooked it just to ruin it. Cheese balls was very Grease. Save your appetite (and your teeth) for somewhere else.

I went there for my birthday dinner with family. It was amazing. Although no one spoke much English the vibe was really nice. There was a live band playing Cuban music and my parents and sisters are so much steak they slept the entire ride home lol

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.

I went to Rio Grande for my mother's birthday in 02/07/2025, I want to start by thanking the chef. Everything that was grilled was super delicious. How ever the buffet table was a 1 out of 5. The sides were not good. The potato salad was mash potatoe with veggies it was not good. The servers aren't the best. They all had an attitude. Or at least the 3 servers that served us had an attitude, One of the waitress was hanging out with a friend who was buying drinks. When you go to other churraquerias they keep coming until you flip over the car asking them to stop. Even though they do have this card at Rio Grande. The servers do not respect it. The tables are too close to eat other and other customers bumped into you while eating because of that. But the worst part to me was the excessive noise. It's a restaurant you want to be able to speak to the people you are eating with, we couldn't hear one another . I made reservations and alerted them it was my mom's birthday so we can sing happy birthday but they forgot to write that down and I had to remind them in front of my mom which ruined the surprise. Personally I don't see my self visiting this place again. But the grill meats and the octopus was delicious It was not expensive, for my husband and I it was 79.99 plus 10.99 for my mom's birthday brownie 5 dollars for a Coke it all added to 120.97 . Which for the price I was hoping for 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.

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.

Let's talk about it. We stopped by for lunch not knowing what to expect. One word? Value. You get a lot for the price. But let's be real -- Fogo de Chão and Texas de Brazil still run the game when it comes to flavor and quality.

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.

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.

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.

this restaurant is $25.99 all you can eat, a very nice place, food was delicious, all kind of tender and juicy meets, the grilled octopus and shrimps were very good, salad bar was good too. they charged service provided 18%, very well deserved because all servers were attentive and nice, but what I found weird is that they charged me a tourist tax and I'm not a tourist I live in Hialeah

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.

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!

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

Malisimo carne y todo la mierda en ese restaurant Lo mas bueno era es el aros y frijoles

The food stands out the most. Super salty. The best thing about this place is the ambiance is nice. The people serving meet are have good service. The waiter not so Much since service charge is included.. 3 stars

Food was good 4/5 because it was a little salty, ambiance was amazing , and for me, the service was on point. they were very polite.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great food, nice service, the honey cheese was delicious! Nice service. Great choices.

Quality of meat is not so good, but i Imagine for some is ok for the price. Salad bar is ok. I would not come back .

The food flavor is pretty good yet the service is horrible, we were seatinf at the table for over an hour and they only came 2 times throigh our table do keep in mind in ordwe to eat they need to pass by with the meats

Duny el Moreno best customer service!! We went Sunday and had an amazing time. Best caipirinhas.

I went there Friday for my company Xmas party - salad bar was so so food meats was very good ,service was ok a little slow one Waitress per table and table super big , ambiance was good..

This is a good all you eat spot. They had good entertainment and nice music, everyone who k came across had a smile and were very nice. They reason im givin 3 stars is because some of the meat I was given wasn't fresh cooked. It was a bit hard and chewie. And everything that had bacon was very high on salt.

My family and I dine here often, we get Togo as well and they always seem to meet or exceed our expectations. They have a full bar. There's always a good crowd when we come here but they never really seem to get overwhelmed by it, they are well staffed. The food is always pretty good too.

If I could I would give this rating a 3.5. Food had some hits and misses. Churrasco was delicious, picahña was tough and chewy or too rare, salad bar had some good side choices. Service was good too when it came to bringing the meats. If you wanted a specific meat brought to your table, it would be brought to your table quickly. Ambiance is really loud and the salad bar needs more lighting.

First time at a Brazilian steak house and it was definitely a different experience. If you prefer a relaxing / slow sit down restaurant this is not for you. Servers are constantly coming up to the table and serving meat I felt a little rushed but everyone was super nice. Everything however was delicious and I loved the grilled octopus! Very smooth. Also, tip is included already on the bill but there's an option for extra tip!

This place was surprisingly very good! My fav sides were the potatoe salad, garbanzo frito and grilled peppers. They don't attack u with meat like the other places do. Great service & prices. Will def come back! Nice job Hialeah!!

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.

Food was ok. The lamb chops were big but lacked a little more taste. The salad bar was ok, but not to many choices of items to add to the dish. The service was good. The gauchos were always bringing meats even if I have my token on red(no more) The ambiance was not that great. Loud crowd talk, music was from a DJ. Table arrangements was kind of close when big groups are been served. A charge of 18% is already added to the ticket as service charge. Still they post a chart of extra tips. Desserts are 10.00$ in case you want to finish your meal with a sweet end. No senior, or military discounts

Food taste bad and although they really tried to be like Texas de Brazil they are far from it. Meat not cooked correctly and the attendants are not that nice as the attention is a key factor.

Ambiance and service was good, our group of 6 were accommodated for my birthday. Unfortunately the food quality was mediocre and my husband asked one of the servers going around with meat the temperature of the meat and they did not know. Other than that it was overall alright.

I don't understand why people are posting anything negative about this place. We went for lunch and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the variety of the offerings on the salad bar which was really a full food bar with soups, salads and entrees. The only complaint I have is we had to ask for pan de bono and plantains and would not have known that there were any had we not asked. Other than that it was one of the best places I've been in quite some time. Will definitely be back!!!

The food was good but it wasn't the best. Salad bar could be slightly better, but overall good experience. We enjoyed the service as well.

One of the best churrascaria in South Florida, and affordable compare to others. The atmosphere is great, and customer service over the top.

Este es un restaurante brasileño, ubicado en Hialeah, tiene variedad de cortes de carnes servidos a selección y gusto del cliente, picaña, churrasco, pollo con tocino, cerdo y otros más. Cuentan con una barra de acompañantes como ensalada de papas, pastas, diferentes tipos de vegetales, todos muy deliciosos. Tienen muy buena variedad de vinos y limonadas. El ambiente muy agradable y la atención de Marlon y Carlos muy cálida y oportuna. Me encantó mucho el lugar, la comida y la atención.

Horrible lugar me encanta probar lugares nuevos mi esposo y yo fuimos nos cayó pésima la comida la carne parecía de cerdo cuando era picana no lo recomiendo y no es por el precio se que es un poco económico pero no deberían servir comida que te haga daño y no hablemos del Buffett de eso no digo nada más solo terrible

We were a work group of 14 people, the service was terrible, the meat was of very poor quality, and they did not offer drinks, when we asked for it they never brought it, not even water. A very bad experience. I will not recommend it

They basically come around with the good meat one time then try and feed you chicken and chorizo don't waste your money here

The food honestly is horrible they are for sure using frozen thawed out meat and expecting people to be happy with tuff cooked meat. It's not worth the money honestly. Go to Texas de Brazil or el toro loco a little more money for worth it. This place isn't. The servers do not really come around when you need to pay to leave which is sad. They don't ask how you prefer your meat and honestly not sure if they remember what meat they are showing if they come out with multiple red meat. The venue is alright cute but all the tables are on top of each other that's not cute especially when you're coming with babies. Buffet needs work because it was disappointing. Worst part I can for the octopus originally and they told me they didn't have it at the moment for lunch but they thawed it out and didn't cook it correctly so now my family and I are sick and feel horrible because they served us undercooked octopus. Save your money go somewhere else

I came here since I saw so many videos on TikTok and it looked amazing. Service was decent. The food was okay. If you love medium rare / rare steaks I wouldn't recommend it for you then. All the meat was a bit over cooked which wasn't too bad. The salad bar didn't have much options just 1 type of salad but many options for dressing. I ordered a Passion fruit Caipirinha and it was too sweet. It felt like they added syrup. Caipirinha is a refreshing sweet/sour drink but this was a whole other level. I couldn't even taste the Cachaça, didn't drink it at all. This is a good place to go if you want fully cooked meat and a low price. I recommend other places if you want a medium rare or rare meats or better options. If you are paying for all you can eat i would of spent the $10 more per person and gone anywhere better. I wish I would of read the reviews before coming.

Awesome service and food. Nice ambiance. Very professional and kind the staff. The " Cafe Bombón", delicious

Marvelous food and service. Meat was top notch as always and our server Maday paid attention in every detail.

Over all the place is very well kept and the service was great. This is q buffets style restaurant, the cover per person is great for all the variety they offer. Our server was Carlos, he was very knowledgeable of all the drinks and desserts. Recommend this for a night out with the family if you guys are looking to try something new in Hialeah

Muy buena comida y bueno precio al igual que muy bueno el servicio de nuestro mesero Carlos Romero! 100% recomiendo ir a este restaurante que tiene comida muy rica y un ambiente muy agradable. I really recommend this restaurant, very good service, food and ambiance. Carlos Romero was our server and he was great! Very attentive and made us feel right at home, he was kind and friendly and always coming around to see if we were doing okay. 10/10 recommend this place.

Me gustó el ambiente Los tragos bueno Estaba bien Very nice place with music Muy bueno todo el local y la carne era normao

Let's start out with the really great things about this restaurant. They have an all you can lunch for around $25. That's and excellent price and the meat just keeps coming. The ambiance is pretty cool, they have some instagramable walls that makes a great photo op. It's red decor and flowers on the wall as soon as you walk in. It's ok. The service is where this place takes a nosedive. Our server told us immediately upon sitting down her English was limited. That was cool. No problem. She was really nice and as helpful as she could be. We sat in an area with three other tables. We were the only African Americans in that group. The meat server went to every single table but ours. We were literally seated extremely close to the other tables, there was absolutely no reason he didn't stop at our table. I felt a little sad that we were ignored because I really wanted to try the meat he was serving. When we tried to tell our waitress she had to call three people over to understand what we trying to explain. It was so frustrating. Once the guy finally came to serve us the meat, he did so with an attitude which leads me to believe he skipped our table on purpose. The meat was ok, there were really great tasting flavorful pieces and some really tough overcooked pieces. The sides buffet left so much to be desired. The side dishes were so random, they had black bean soup, slices of tomatoes, potato salad, olives, pepper jack cheese and other random items that didn't appeal to me or my partner. Honestly this place was so hyped on IG I left disappointed and feeling disrespected. I'm definitely not going back.

My recent visit to Rio grande churrásqueria was highly disappointing. The limited side options, overly salty meat, and subpar service combined to create an overall unsatisfactory dining experience. The lack of variety in side dishes left me feeling unfulfilled, while the excessive saltiness of the meat masked its poor quality. Additionally, the service was lacking in attentiveness and failed to meet my expectations, is evident that servers don't care because tip is already included in the bill. Also music is so loud that is imposible to have a conversation. Instead of coming here I recommend you to explore other steak house options that prioritize a wide range of flavorful sides, high-quality meats, and attentive service to ensure a better dining experience.
