By far the best grilled chicken shop in Birmingham, better than Pepes, Merigos. Food was received piping hot and flavour was amazing. Chicken was sauced properly unlike most grilled chicken shops. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Staff were friendly and the store was extremely clean.

I recently visited Rios Sheldon, and I must say, I was genuinely impressed. The food was fresh, flavourful, and exactly what you’d expect from a well-run Piri Piri Shop. I ordered A ‘Mighty Kofta and the kids had some burgers too, and it was prepared perfectly hot, tasty, and served quickly. The staff were friendly, professional, and clearly working hard to keep the place running smoothly despite how busy it was. It’s clear this is a fast-food place that values its customers and puts effort into delivering quality. Now, I also noticed some of the reviews this place has received, and honestly, they’re laughable. It seems some people go out of their way to complain about trivial issues or post unreasonably harsh feedback. Let’s be real, this place delivers exactly what it promises: great food, fast service, and a clean, welcoming environment. To those writing negative reviews for minor issues, maybe take a moment to reflect on your harsh and laughable reviews. We live in a world where we can’t wait to put a bad review just because we had a small issue – when you say staff are rude (I have never experienced that at Rios Sheldon) – how good is your attitude towards the staff in the first place – we treat workers like ‘dirt’ and then expect flowers in return – bloody hypocrites. We leave food and trays/plates on table and expect the staff to clean as if you are dining in a top restaurant – if a person doesn’t have the decency to pick up his/her rubbish and put that in the bin – one thinks, how do you eat at home then? This team works hard, and they deserve credit for the effort they put in. I’ll definitely be coming back. Keep up the great work, Rios Sheldon! and 'Thankyou' for being nice and welcoming to my children.

A restaurant with some of the rudest and most arrogant staff I've ever come across. The level of hygiene within the place is nauseating. *UPDATE TO OWNERS RESPONSE* Hi, I'm not sure if you had Columbo or Inspector Closeau investigating this matter but let me help lay out some facts for your benefit. - Correct we had to have the tables cleaned a number of times because after each pathetic attempt they were still DIRTY with stains on. - The WC was in an absolutely disgusting state to begin with. I'm baffled how we were supposed to have flooded it given they were out of order. If you're going to fabricate claims at least make it plausible. - the shop floor had bones and food underneath our table as we entered which was not cleaned. The only spillage we had was a little bit of rice on the table. - It may be helpful to give you some context as to why the male lead approached your staff - who I presume is your shift manager. Throughout the entire evening his behaviour towards my family was obnoxious which we let slide. However the final straw was when the males left the restaurant he made a snide remark to one of the females in our group. This led to the need to speak and hold him to account for his despicable behaviour. - as for the need for intervention from other staff members, you may want to ask your investigator whether this was to calm us down or the shift manager himself who squared up to us and said I quote "come and speak to me alone". Another prime example of the wonderful service to be offered at your venue....a punch up to go with insulting behaviour. I would recommend you read through the consistent feedback your establishment has received in respect of poor customer service. Your response to them come across as either you're entirely delusional, creative with the truth or in complete denial. Some may even say arrogant and rude.

Food poisoning! Ordered in store for takeaway last night, usually enjoy meals from here but will not be coming back. My partner has been throwing up and all symptoms from food poisoning since eating last night. It was the only food he ate yesterday so we know it’s come from here. He had the spicy Classico chicken burger, I had loaded fries, I’m fine though.

Ordered legs and thigh pcs in the platter as we aren't keen on breast or wings pcs, as I appreciate probably not every piece would be legs or thighs, but every single one was breast, I called and spoke to a lady who was quite rude and told me that was all they had and didn't want to waste it, so just sent it anyway without even calling us, so it's OK for the customer to waste the food because they are paying obviously, won't be ordering again. and your chips are rubbish not like they used to be.

Most rubbish service ever!. MY sister accidently called this place to order some food, not realising it's not the right branch. They answered with only "Hello Rios". After reaching the right branch we realised we'd ordered at the wrong branch. My sister called up the wrong branch just to let them know. Instead the man was being rude and he was like "it's impossible to order at the wrong branch, it's not about the sorry, now the foods gone to waste, I'm giving you a chance to come and collect it". Wonder where they learn their manners and respect or training if they even get any!

Last week I ordered a classic GIANT chicken fillet burger with hash brown salsa cheese mayo and lettuce I paid 7.99 for it and when it came it wasn't what I ordered. They had sent me a normal chicken fillet burger so this time I thought I'd order the same thing and low and behold they sent the wrong burger again. I expect to recive what I'm ordering and what I have payed for. If the people in the shop can't get their job right they shouldn't be working there. I will be taking the burger back to the shop and will not be ordering from here again

Seems like so many before us have had a similar experience with the service. Food was great but never felt welcome. Staff were not interested and just really very angry. Lots of huffing and eye rolling, it felt like we were at a Karen's Diner!! A confusion on which starters had bacon and which had facon meant the unhelpful waiter storming back to the kitchen , coming back in a foul mood to say they are remaking the one with facon. We were given the bill before even having chance to look at the desert menu. They definitely wanted us to leave so they could have an early night. I wish I'd have read these reviews before going. It begs the question whether management are actually addressing this like some of their replies to these reviews suggest.
