Rio's Burgers in Isle of Wight

We have always loved a rios for the last few years. Latley it's been getting worse but still okay. Just thought we would give it another go and it's the last time we will be ordering. No longer are they nice fresh made burgers. Instead they are pre-brough slimy pattys. The dirty fries are no longer the tasty side they used to be. Now they just dump loads of sauce on. Abit of cheese and about the equivalent of 1 piece of streaky bacon cut up into bits n chucked on the chips. I don't know if the old owner sold up or its under new management or theyve just lost the love they used to have for presenting a bangin burger and delicious smoky fries, but the whole rios experience is gone. It's now basically a cheap shi××y burger with some can't be arsed dirty fries. I'm not one to moan but tonight's meal was lazy and ridiculous.

I haven’t written a review for about three years but wanted to update mine by saying that the standard set then has maintained its awesome status and approved if that’s possible! As a coeliac I always find it difficult finding a takeaway and Rio’s has been a godsend for me. The food is excellent and it’s so refreshing to have choices that are gluten free! Also the portions are huge! Mark and the staff are amazing; always friendly, attentive and willing to help. They know me so well now that when I call to order, they already know what I want! If you’re gluten free or not; this is the place to come for a really tasty experience and met by lovely staff in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere!

Huge, absolutely delicious burgers, a good selection of veggie burgers too. Excellent value for money and great staff. Highly recommend 👌

Solid Vegan burgers at a really really good price. best burgers for the price on the Island. 6 Pound burger proper nice as well. a Shanklin institution.

Wanted to try Rio's for a long time based on word of mouth and they didn't disappoint! Staff are friendly, helpful and happy to accommodate. We had burgers and hotdogs and they were absolutely delicious 😋 Our son who has sensory issues and a very basic diet also ate the lot so a very happy and full family.

We were traipsing around Shanklin as a family of three looking for something to eat. Stumbled across this place and took a chance..... not disappointed! Amazing burgers, great value, and lovely staff. I'd go out on a limb and say it was the best burger I've had. (chicago burger). A gem.

I tried their new lamb burger and it was delicious. Excellent service and very friendly staff.

Great burgers, great service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a coeliac it’s very important that my food doesn’t have any cross contamination. Rio’s are fantastic. I’ve been a customer for years now and have never had a problem. Not only that, the food is delicious, the service first class and the staff are so friendly and go above and beyond. Mark and staff are awesome. Get yourself a delicious flame grilled burger; I would well recommend Rio’s!

I live in cowes and hands down worth the 40 minutes drive everytime even when we take the food back to cowes its still fresh and warm but usually we end up eating most of it on the way home I would say best burgers on the Isle of Wight from our experience that is also affordable especially when they do meal deals. Lady on the front is always very lovely and welcoming and food is always cooked fresh to order

We were staying near by and thankfully there aren't many chain fast food places available nearby. We saw this after a local search for burgers, these are real burgers done well. A huge selection of burgers and chips. We will be back and I would wholly recommend anyone in the area visits this place. The burgers were tasty, hot and well made with loads of options.

The best burgers on the island. I always recommend Rios to anyone and everyone! The staff are wonderful and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a burger. Best chips in Shanklin too in my opinion. Will be a customer for as long as they’re around!

Amazing burgers, gives 5 guys a run for their money. Massive serving's. The Fries are tasty and crispy, burgers next level. If you're a coleslaw fan, rios is homemade and you can taste it. The daily deals are top notch. Can not recommend this place enough. Our new favourite.

Excellent as always. We always come here when on holiday and the food is great, the staff friendly and it’s great value. Keep up the great work. We will be back next summer. Love the Rio 2020 by the way!

Amazing value for your money 4x double burgers plus chips just over £40…. You couldn’t do it at home for that. So many choices to have with either beef burger or chicken burger( it’s a fillet and real chicken, not reconstituted muck) good sized beef burger and chicken fillet…. Always hot and well cooked….Staff are always pleasant and smiling . would recommend Rio’s to anyone….

Excellent burger bar. All really tasty. Particularly Swiss Burger. Very good value and friendly service. Best Isle of Wight burgers.

We stopped here for lunch whilst on a family trip. Absolutely amazing food and service. Would definitely recommend.

Best burgers on the planet. Staff are all legends. I must have had north of 50 burgers from rios now and every single one has been absolutely banging.

Ordered food. Got a call within minutes that they were out of one item and would substitute it and also be abit later at around 8.45pm... when 9.15pm arrived and no food I rang to be told. 'We're closed at 8.30" the driver delivered his delivery. Absolutely B.S. Food is normally LATE when delivered but to not even show up and of course it was all prepaid by card. Will not be ordering again

Ordered a plant based burger for my son who has a dairy allergy only for him to have a reaction when he got home!! No point selling plant based products if you are going to cook on the same grill as cheese burgers etc as that's the only way he would have had a reaction! Not happy!

Best Burgers on the Isle of Wight. Highly recommend. We won't go anywhere else. Such variety of burgers and each one is absolutely amazing.

Possibly the best burger n chips experience ever 😋

Amazing really good if your mooching around shanklin don't hesitate to go in staff are brilliant especially the blonde lady who takes orders and the food wow I had a large spitfire burger angry chips and 2 cans of coke 11.30 it was all really good quality the burgers are lush the chips were angry in a good way really enjoyed it I will be back cheers guys

Burgers are lovely pretty sure I've tried the whole menu now 😂😂 atmosphere only given a two as I always get takeaway

Best place for me and 5 stars service

Ordered online for collection, turned up 10 mins early and got told I was early and it wasn't ready really rudely, so we left! I can honestly say the staff are what ruin the experience here. The food is OK but the staff are just awful. I won't be returning and I come often.

Burgers are quite expensive compared to the fast food chains but they are worth every penny. They have a really great selection of burgers and the fries are delicious... Deserts are unfortunately the weak link

Easily the best quality burgers I’ve had on the island so far at very reasonable prices. The portions won’t leave room for anything else, highly recommend giving them a try if you’re in the area!

The burger was sloppy and the buns were soggy and then when I thought things couldn’t get any worse the chips were bone dry and rubbery such a disappointment.

Placed an order here and collected. Very easy to order and personalise burger online. Got a phone call to say it'd be ready to collect soon. When I collected they were very careful to make the order was right. Very friendly service. Food was amazing. Burgers were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Chips were a good portion and the onion rings were great. Really recommend here and will definitely ordering again.

Great pulled pork burger & unsocial fries,

Tasty burger and great fries delivered hot

Delicious and massive burgers. Have had takeaway from here a few times and never disappoints!!! Quick and very good service! Would recommend for a good solid burger

Absolutely love Rio’s burgers ! Well actually everything the unsociable fries also and the cheese cakes but the burgers are deffo the best around !! And they deliver to Brading !

Awesome takeaway. Great value for money and really tasty grub. Love the Taz burgers and angry fries - wow, they are hot!

We had a takeaway for a family on a bleak winters night and can not fault the burgers or the value for money. The large burgers were huge. Would recommend if you are hungry.

Can't knock the burger and chips from here. I almost always go for the Firestarter and Unsociable Chip, both are really tasty. Just greasy and filthy enough without being kabab level... The burgers are always well cooked and the service is pretty decent too. If you're in Shanklin and you're hankering for a decent burger, check it out. Support this great little local business.

Made a special trip from Newport and wasn't disappointed. I had the spitfire burger and my partner had the bacon, brie n cranberry. Will be returning again. Well worth it!

After being turned away from the crab in shanklin due to being fully booked on Monday, my dad and I wandered into Rios, we were greeted by lovely, attentive staff and served exceptional food. My dad and I both had burgers and a large chips between us… unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy all of the chips as we were absolutely stuffed but the food was gorgeous. One of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten.

Perfect burguer best one in isle of wight fresh ingredients 10/10

Top quality burgers and top quality staff. 👌🏻

First time having a takeaway from here and we were not disappointed.Great taste, and plenty of it ,very easy to order online and was delivered promptly

Would give 0 stars if possible,food was cold definitely won’t be going again or recommend to anyone.Expensive aswell

Not just the best burger on the IOW but one of the best I've ever had. From the friendly greeting to the quality of the food this place is well worth the visit.

There products are of excellent quality, cooked fresh and served piping hot. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Staff were polite and helpful and the food was excellent and hot

The burgers are yummy, always perfectly cooked and fresh. The loaded fries with sauces and cheese etc are very nice, but could do with covering all of the chips in sauce as sometimes you are left with a few chips at the bottom that have no sauce or toppings as all the good stuff is on the top, but other than that this place is 10/10 and very reasonably priced

Amazing burgers and chips would definitely recommend

Love the burgers ,missed few orders with our meal and had to wait long time for deliver to next town .

Amazing little place, great value and absolutely delicious burgers. Lots of choice too!

Amazing food cooked to a very high standard along with very friendly staff and and a very welcoming atmosphere and will definitely keep coming here until the end see you again soon guys

Incredible food at a reasonable enough price, burgers were amazing, delivered to our holiday lower hyde, great staff....give this place a try if your in the area...thank you

Really nice burger place, food is so reasonably priced and the portions are good. I always think it's a good sign when a burger place has kitchen roll on the table. The burgers are tasty and messy, exactly what you want. Chips were really nice, sweet potato and regular. Dips are big, we tried garlic mayo and the blue cheese, happy to recommend either. The guy working there was really friendly. Much better experience than visiting any of the chain restaurants.

Popped in while staying locally for work. I'm assuming the guy behind the counter is the owner because he was on it. Great customer service. I went for the regular moody blue burger and sweet potato fries. Both of which were freshly cooked and tasty a hell. For £8 it was an absolute steal. I'm guessing the burger is home made because it had that nice, almost crumbly, rough round the edges texture? The salad in it was fresh and crisp. I was offered pickles and was happy to find nice long chunky slices inside it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will happily return if I'm ever in the area again. Photos don't do it justice.

Great food and friendly staff, best burgers around and great value. Will definitely come again when we are next on holiday.

Highly recommend. Great value, great food,

Awesome burger, lovely staff, very friendly and helpful

Excellent quality burgers at reasonable prices. Ordered via website and our order was ready just after the collection time we requested. Really great burgers, cooked fresh to order over flame grill. Well worth a visit. Would 100% order from here again.

Normally enjoy these .. but we have now stopped ordering, woman on the phone tuts and sighs when we mention the town we wish delivery to.. and last couple of orders have been not what we have come to expect.. Angry chips was inconsistent and the burgers can be very dry. Unfortunately we no longer order 😕 😪

I had the minted lamb burger and chips, it was delicious. Loads of chips. The staff where lovely and friendly. Will definitely be going here again.

Great burgers and dirty fries... Meat a bit unsalted but u can help that.. great food for good price

Tasty fresh made to order burger and chips. 5* friendly staff!

Staff were friendly and the burgers were yummy. The chicken remained juicy and overall it was a great experience . We tried chicken fire starter 🍔 😋

I ordered 2 burgers tonight, large chips, onion rings, coleslaw and 2 rolo cheesecakes, all was on point. Drove 20 minutes to get back to where I’m staying, and was piping hot as packaged well, if you want a banging burger I highly recommend will see you when I come back in June! Good prices and generous portions so Thankyou :)

Great place, they gave free food on my girl friends birthday, try the smokey chips they're amazing, run by good people

Warm welcome when I arrived. Decent food at a good price. Would return there if I went back to Shanklin.

Smashing place got a good quality burger. Lots to pick from, love the daily deals they do, so when ever you fancy one they got something going on. Friendly staff would recommend.

Very disappointed.. third time ordering…. Took 2 hours to deliver… rung up told them not to worry about it and asked for a refund they said they couldn’t and could hear assistant manger in the background on the phone extremely rude and very unapologetic…shame the customer service really lets the place down

Ridiculous good food, especially for the price. Amazing owner also

Absolutely amazing place lovely food and very fresh ingredients, also very well priced and great customer service, food isn’t greasy or unpleasant it’s definitely worth every penny and I would definitely recommend it to everyone

Great customer service great food

I've just ordered, so excited. Love a rios deal 4 of us eating for 30 quid . And from previous experience I know I'm going to be a happy camper (I'm not a camper this is just a saying) the guy that runs the place is first class and never let's me down . Many thanks to Mark and his team. From Marc Nathan and sy at the shanklin beach hotel.

Really good burgers. Good allergy information. Will come back when I have the chance

Best burgers on the whole of the isle of wight and thier blue cheese sauce on chips is amazing....highly recommended.

Best tasting burger I have ever had, lots of choice and cooked on a flame grill fresh, uses local butchers and has smoke bacon, also uses brioche buns if you want, the salads are very crisp and fresh. cheap and tasty, BTW he does a discount for us local business owners. Has a burger on the special every month, really nice. Also does delivery

Best burgers on the Isle of Wight

Love this place. Great burgers and friendly service.

A group of us ordered a range of burgers the other night, ranging from veggie to beef. I have to say they were on point and exactly what a proper burger should be. The price was reasonable and the burgers were very tasty with a ‘flame grilled’ taste. Will defo be returning when possible 👍

Freshest, Tastiest, juiciest burger ever!! Chips were amazing too. Highly recommend.

Great food - 7 of us all ordered different burgers. Really tasty burgers - everyone thought they were the best they’d had. Chips & onions rings were delicious too. Didn’t have to wait long although they were busy. Staff were pleasant & it was good to be able to see your food being cooked. Shame we don’t live on the island but we will be back - probably tonight!!

Such a great burger, it was moist and delicious, I had the payday burger with unsociable chips and I was not disappointed, my husband had a Fantasy burger and all was brilliant. We had a great burger night, many thanks guys

Love this place. Foods great and if you follow on Facebook, they do lovely deals ! Check it out. Eat in or take away. My only gripe, the Web ordering doesn't have their cheese cake or chi Ken chunks and if you call, they don't always answer. It's frustrating as you sometimes have a hefty wait on busy days.

Their burgers are amazing! And reasonably priced too. I highly recommend the unsociable chips, although the other half may disagree! If you follow them on fb, check out their page for daily deals :)

Outstanding food, excellent pricing (especially if you follow their socials), delivered to us on the beach as well! Honestly the best burgers on the island. Have been many times before and will definitely go again.

Awesome burgers at great prices. Loaded fries are great. The seating booths are a bit small though.

This place is a hidden gem, doesn’t look like much from the outside and it’s quite small but the burgers are of an extremely high standard, it’s on the level if not better than GBK and 7bones for people from the mainland. I got the taz burger which was amazing, I got a choice of soft white or brioche bun, choice of salads and very freindly service, would highly recommend for those that appreciate a good burger.

Their burgers are better than most, including 5 guys and don't cost a fortune.

Rios was excellent up until this evening, we spent nearly £40 on a delivery for 4. The burgers have changed since our last order from good quality steak burgers to mediocre kebab shop quality. If you have deliberately bought cheaper stock, I suggest you lower your prices inline with your competitors.

Nothing to complain about at all. Service is polite. Its great that you can watch your food being cooked to order. Bought for myself and 2 children. Two burgers one was a chicken bbc omg so yummy and the other was a beef taz with garlic Mayo equally as nice. My youngest had chicken chunks and chips and we also have a large Smokey chips plus ice cold drinks. Just perfect. Unfortunately didn’t get round to taking photos of burgers but did of the chips

Visited again the other weekend to get food for family. They had a good deal on with 2 regular burgers, two boxes of chips, a jumbo sausage, coleslaw and chunks oh and two cans of drink. Perfect for a family of four, burgers for the parents and kids share the sausage and chunks and split the chips between us all. Tasty as ever and all cooked to order.

I have used these on a number of occasions and really had no major problems. However the last 3 occasions the burgers have, without question got far worse. They have a large amount of grisly mince in them. I would have forgiven 1 or 2 occasions but now it’s 3 I felt I needed to review them. Especially when I first used them they were delicious, not now.

Lovely burgers always very nicely made & delivered on time

Was very big portion and good quality of food, i recommend

Honestly some of the best burgers we have had!. My family and I chose to try RIOs after reading such good reviews, and it did not disappoint we drove from shanklin to ryde and the burgers and chips were still hot. Really reasonable price too for the quality you get and very friendly service, Would recommend.

Incredible taste, worth every penny, highly recommend.

Nice staff and the best burger I've had on the island, chips were amazing too, up there with Five Guys on mainland, I will be back.

When I’m in shanklin I go here ! Love the burgers amazing value for money. Friendly chatty staff. X

Despite the price increase of the majority of items, Rio's remains one of the cheapest takeaways in shanklin and definitely the best tasting. With a huge variety of toppings on the burgers AND the chips, Rio's have to be top 3 takeaways on the island especially if you are vegetarian. Price: 4.3/5 Taste: 5/5 Inside: 4/5

Called up last week to speak to the owner . You would have thought I called somebody’s personal telephone . A woman answered my call by saying “ elllo “ then nothing …. I asked to speak to owner and was met with …. “ errr errrr errrr “ “ he’s not here “ I asked when was he there and got a response of “ errrr I don’t know .” Not once did I know I called “ rios “ as wasn’t greeted correctly . Very rude woman who clearly had better things to be doing . Just from that interaction I no longer want to speak to the owner as have heard all i need .

Very yummy burgers and chips.I have ordered couple times and no disappoitment,carry on.
