Had a lovely meal. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Even brought out a birthday treat for free as our cousin had mentioned it was his birthday meal out. Great with the kids and they even ate for free as both are under 8 years old. Food was tasty and atmosphere was great. Thank you very much. We were at the Jesmond Rio steakhouse.

Came here for my sons graduation as he loves his meat. We enjoyed the range of meats the server brought round and the salad bar which had lots to offer including different sauaces and veg to go along with the meat. Great service and even got a graduation drink

I would recommend Rio's brizzillian steakhouse in Jesmond to anyone! The food is always delicious and the staff are amazing and very friendly. The whole building is very clean and tidy. Trish who served us was very attentive, very polite and such a delight to talk to, she is a credit to your team, we will definitely be back again!

My second time at a Rio's Steakhouse. Absolutely love the concept and the buffet salad selection is amazing, would happily pay just for that to be fair. Meat is always lush and the staff are always friendly. It's far from cheap but as a rare treat its always great.

Felt very rushed the meats came out so fast we couldn't enjoy it. Then we had been in fir 1 hour 35 mins when the waitress came over and said we aren't trying to hurry you but we need the table back, we still had over half a bottle of wine left. Not impressed.

Bland meats, the gimmick of unlimited steak/meat is a bit of a con. It would be much better for those of you who enjoy fine cuts of meat to go to a steak house and pay for a nice piece of meat. The salad bar is nice though!

As a mother of a toddler, I like to go to restaurants where I trust the methods that the food is prepped, cooked and presented. My daughter absolutely loves everything at Rio’s. I would say she is crazy about the lamb, devours the salmon (auntie gave her a little bit), nicked prawns from her mum, eats feijoada like if it was her last meal. Obviously there was fresh veggies on her plate but I’m gonna be honest… when she saw the passador Ireneu with the famous picanha, she got a hold of the tongs and actually went for it! Ireneu was very gentle and careful for her to carry this out and her eyes were just shinning! Me and my family could not praise enough the treatment that we always have from staff. Today we had Zsófia and Bárbara, always very polite and with a smile to give away. They went to the table to ask if everything was alright and if we wanted more drinks and dessert, but also gave the space for us to be able to enjoy the food. The new creme brûlée is really nice and the presentation is really creative! Go to Rio’s , you will enjoy it! And your kids too!! Ps. This is Ivy’s first review and all I can think about it is “bring me more meat”

Food is delicious here, good choices of what you can get! Plenty different types of meat on offer, the salad bar was nice (and I'm normally a salad dodger) and the desserts were beautiful! Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of the meat dishes! The staff that come to your table with meat choices were great and the other staff were very helpful! My only complaint (and it is minor) is that it did feel a little bit chaotic with staff walking round with different meat all the time! But that's just me, I tend to like to be left alone when I'm eating!

That was my second time in Rio, and I can say that food was delicious, staff very friendly. I know it's not cheap and probably is not the place I will go every week, but from time to time, it's worth paying a little bit more for that great experience. We just got a group of a few people next to us that was very loud, which is not what I was expecting there tbh.

Different cured meats, cheese, pickles, rice , potatoes and the garlic/creamy mushrooms are to die for. There is a wide range of drinks from cocktails, ( my boyfriend loved the Joe L so much he had two) wines and beers. Atmosphere was good also and the servers were friendly. We were absolutely stuffed

Good atmosphere. Food was poor quality and very expensive. We don't mind going out for meals as a family and don't mind spending the money for a family evening but this was overpriced and poor quality imo. You can find much better places that have just as good an atmosphere but with much better quality food and not as expensive. The waiter at the end also laughed when I asked him why a £15 service charge was added for 3 people? We won't be going back. Newcastle has much much better places to dine and enjoy as a family.
