Rodizio Rico in Birmingham

A favourite place for dinner. It never fails to please. Wonderful staff. Lovely ambience. Can be too noisy with overexuberant patrons but that adds to the atmosphere I.e. it's a joyful place. Top marks all round. 🥇. See you soon. T

I'm originally from Brazil and I've been in the UK for over 10 years. This is far the best Brazilian restaurant I've been in this country, amazing food and service! Thanks Ana Clara!!

Brazilian grill is a simple concept - turn your card on the green side if you want meat served to you, and red if you want a break. It’s an interactive experience as meat is served straight from the kitchen and cut in front of you. Good variety of meat served, I personally enjoyed the lamb chops, chicken legs best. Rump is the best beef out of all, whilst the others can be a bit tough. There’s also a large variety of sides & salad bar, quality is so-so and could be kept warmer. Overall on the pricier side as I’ve tried other Brazilian grills at a similar quality with lower prices.

We had a lovely lunch today. The staff were so lovely and Anna welcomed us with a smile and was very attentive. The food was really good, there were lots of meat options and the buffet was varied. Although we were full, we had a lovely Oreo cheesecake at the end to celebrate my brothers birthday and it was the perfect end to a really nice visit

One of the best places I have eaten. Service was great and the food even better 😋

Absolutely fantastic evening and food experience, brought my wife, son and his girlfriend, new concept for son and gf. When the meat started coming.....hold onto your hats, it was simply fantastic. The quality is extremely good, but then again it isn't a cheap place to eat - definitely a case of "you get what you pay for!". Can't recommend it enough and would definitely return if back in the area. Many thanks to all the staff for finishing off a great weekend.

Excellent service, Excellent food

We really enjoyed our visit. The salad bar had plenty of choice including chicken lasagna, Mac and cheese and corn bread. The service was unsurpassed with the passadors constantly offering different cuts of meats. We will definitely be returning soon.

Great food, great night out with work colleagues.

Great service super fast! Good food. A bit bright inside. A little more atmospheric lighting would be great. Other than that top place.

It's a lovely Brazilian BBQ restaurant experience

Went with friends ..fantastic I recommend trying

Poor service waiters missed us all night when serving. Waited 20 mins for drinks. Asked to speak to manger half way through he didn’t arrive till I asked for the bill. Manager took about 60% off the bill which we accepted. Wouldn’t return

Second time in Birmingham branch. As of the first time, really enjoyed the place. Food is fantastic, staff are kind and nice. Can't wait to go again 😍

Been once before which was a cool experience, but going in December, solo, and Christmas week felt a bit deflated. At a higher price of £42 a person, it's a bit steep for what you get. Bread is provided in the salad, but no butter 😞. Who thought that was a good idea 😅 The lasagna was delicious 😋 as was the roast mini potatoes. To qualify for 4*, include dessert as part of this set course menu (even if it's just unlimited ice cream 🍦). For 5*, it has to really "Wow" me.

Great evening out with friends, protein heavy feast. It's expensive but will come again.

Lovely place, nice food. Full of people but good. Ana Clara was an amazing host!!

I'd rather go to the Chinese next time.

Food was fab, service was excellent, very popular place. First time and will not be the last 😀

I remember this was the first and the only rodizio in London…was on biz trip so decided to try, not the same. Not many, hardly any Brazilian dish on buffet, that was disappointing. The night was saved by the lovely Brazilian staff, a shout out to Eduardo who made sure we were getting the best of the Brazilian cuts cooked to perfection.

We already knew the restaurant in Coventry and loved it, but since we had been to Sea Life, we decided to go to this one in Birmingham, which is basically a straight line walking along the canal. We arrived and were served by the lovely Ana Clara (this was on 11/18 - around 1:00 pm). She kindly showed us to our table, and even though she was serving alone, she made time to talk to everyone who was there. The view from this restaurant is great! The dining room is very beautiful and well decorated. The buffet is, without a doubt, my passion. Pork rinds, mayonnaise, salads, cheese bread, gnocchi with salmon, and a bunch of other delicious things. The barbecue was wonderful, and the barbecue chef was a sweetheart, because I'm crazy about chicken hearts. I asked him and was quickly rewarded. I'm sorry I didn't get his name, but I hope you pass on my thanks to him. My husband loved all the meats, and I won't deny that it was great to walk back to the car afterwards, because we rolled out of there. Ana Clara even brought a warm batch of cheese bread before we left, for a final taste of home before we left the restaurant. The chef also seems to be very nice. A group of Italians were sitting in front of us and he, who is clearly from there, came over to talk to them, which I thought was really cool! Anyway, all this just to say that we will be back 😅

Excellent restaurant, ample selection of sides and great meat, very nice and friendly waiting staff.

Having not eaten here before we were seated in a corner there were some small flies around us, the plates we were given were cold and the hot items on the buffet were luke warm , we were offered plenty of wings and sausages as the tables closer to the middle were getting served before us so the better selection of meats were either cold or non existent when they reached us ,we asked for some steak which was raw with clots on the underside . We asked twice about desert and we're charged £6 each not somewhere that I will be hurrying to return to .

Poor excuse for a Brazilian Churrascaria. Their website shows pictures of picanha, lamb and beef but what you get is endless chicken wings. Guests had to lean across with their sleeve in my plate because the waiters are LAZY. 3of my guests had 1 small slice of picanha before it was taken away. When I asked for picanha head waiter brought a skewer of uncooked meat. 1 slice and it was completely RAW. £500 for total disappointment.

First of all not happy with food as it looks bloody and the meat was drippin of blood for people who don't eat rare food I would not recommend you you go there been wanting to go for ages with my misses the buffay alone was something I could prepare at home and wasn't nice some of food was cold and rock hard and we all had to pay 30 pound each for buffay witch was worth to me a Tenna we wasn't happy at all we hardly eat anything the kept serving us pork and had to request for meat to be well cooked will not recommend if u have any of theses issues

Delicious food. It's not cheap but it's all you can eat and well with it for a special treat.

Very lovely restaurant, came here for dinner the variety of food at the salad bar is impeccable , all dishes were at the right temperature we paid £42.30 that included all the food bar plus unlimited meats and woow ! If you come here make sure you come with your belly empty because the £42 will definitely be worth it. FYI you pay extra for your drinks. The staff were great everyone in there had a smile literally made the ambiance so warm and calm would I come here again ? Definitely yes !! 10/10

The overall experience was okay, but not great or something that i would recommend. The meats were average. Big variety of sides. What i didn’t like was the service… They need to work on that more. A lot of waiters running around just looking busy. They need to have 2 or 3 tables to look after constantly. We got seated but had no tableware ready ( i think that’s the first thing to have when seating someone right?) we waited for it 15 mins and ended up taking the plates, fork and knives ourselves from their cupboard…and at that time it wasn’t busy at all. Per total the waitress approached only once for the whole stay and it was at the beginning. I asked for assistance twice and no one approached. When paying the bill, the service fee was already included and they asked if we want to tip more…ummmm noo for this awful service.

This place is really great, but be warned it's not cheap and the prices have gone up substantially since my last visit. The food, however, speaks for itself! There's a generous salad bar with a range of cold food from beans and breads to pastas, vegetables and salad. Don't overload your plate though as you'll need room for the delicious meat which is carved from the bbq skewers (in very small portions) at your table. If you're happy to sit for a while and graze you're in for a treat!

Sooooo expensive, I spent £70 on the carvery with a Coke Zero and a pudding for dessert, whereas a while ago the bill was around £25. In terms of food, in my opinion, it's a business aimed much more at foreigners than at Brazilians, boring rice and beans made only with salt, they didn't even add a little garlic, totally basic beans, they didn't even put a little beef jerky inside to give it a taste. , a pure white flour, my children add some flour there for the love of it! They push you sausages (there he is) and chicken and other crazy meats there but picanha is good, nothing! If you want real food from a really good steakhouse you have to go to Fogo de Chão in London because this rich shit leaves a lot to be desired. I don't recommend it!!!

A wonderful Brazilian grill experience where they keep bringing delicious food until you’re full. The cheesecake was fantastic, though other desserts were just okay. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it for the flavors

Fantastic! Food amazing, staff all great & atmosphere top notch! Highly recommended.

Food is great. Table service is slow except the bbqs.

Brazilian churrascaria done right. Rodizio Rico offers a variety of meats, all cooked perfectly. Their beef rib was our favourite. The salad bar also had calamari and salmon. With unlimited food for a fair price, you will not be disappointed after eating at Rodizio Rico. Save room for dessert if you can, their Oreo Cheesecake is the sweet fix you need after the churrascaria. All the staff were friendly and brought our favourite cuts of meat to the table when requested. There is a great vibe to the restaurant too with a few birthday meals being held on the night. I would highly recommend visiting Rodizio Rico! 🇧🇷

Fue una ocasión especial en un grupo grande. Nunca he estado aquí o esta zona antes y era fácil de encontrar con mapas, aunque no parecía caminar desde el canal y las calles traseras detrás de él. El problema con una mesa larga es que solo hablaba en el rango, los que estaban a mi lado y enfrente, así que el otro extremo solo pude hablarlo pasando al buffet de ensaladas y afuera después. Una mesa redonda es más sociable e interactiva, pero éramos una docena, así que es común que acepte mesas largas. El buffet de ensaladas era muy bueno, la carne sigue dando vueltas, es interesante para una primera visita y yo y enfrente estaban 'rellenos'. El servicio era muy bueno. Todo el personal era agradable. Costo, parecía caro, pero aprecio cuando uno puede comer tanta carne como puede soportar que necesita ser cubierto en el precio. Bebidas también caras, conseguí una cerveza para mí y solo otras dos bebidas para los demás y eso fue adiós a £ 30. La camarera era amigable, la amiga por la que estaba tomando una copa había estado charlando, así que continuar la charla mientras servía dobles sin pedir las dos otras bebidas, luego dijo después de la esperanza que quería dobles? Pensé que era ser amable y darnos el beneficio como hospitalidad, pero no el caso y una costosa cuenta de bebidas de 3 x persona. Recuerdo que la comida era de unas 55 libras cada uno. Hubo una conversación sobre consejos adicionales. Creo que el caballero de la reserva pagó una propina obligatoria encima de todos pagando individualmente. Supongo que si una propina en efectivo no se ha colocado en la mesa, entonces es necesario; pero a ese costo pensamos que tenía incluido un cargo por servicio cada uno. Veredicto, me gusta el concepto, pero el costo disuadiría esto de ser un hábito frecuente. Sentí que cerró temprano. Tan pronto como terminé de comer era pagar y seguir. Con la larga mesa no habíamos socializado hasta que salimos a charlar 10 minutos. Me hubiera gustado tener tiempo para hacerlo dentro. Ese es el problema de una reserva a las 8 pm. Con un largo viaje de ida y vuelta fue una comida cara y no cosechó el tiempo limitado beneficios por completo. ¿Iría otra vez? Sí, pero aconsejaría antes, y ocasionalmente basado en el costo.

Meal was okay but they over charged us on the bill and took the tips on the side. I would go Fazenda instead

Extortionately expensive for what it is. It has increased in price massively. Deceived into paying two lots of tips by the waitress. Won't be returning.

Overall - great place for meat lovers. Nice fresh meat delivered regularly, service was excellent and eating there on a Tuesday night meant parking right outside, nothing busy or crowded and the restaurant had a nice ambience.

Went for a lunchtime slot and found the experience fantastic. What a great way to try a load of new dishes.

This was my first time coming so i really didn't know what to expect, but when i said i was so disappointed! The all you can eat food is a small oval shaped table with loads of different plates of food all crammed together, some stuff was freezing cold and other stuff was luke warm, there wasn't actual that much variety from the buffet either, it was pretty much all the same stuff. The meat they bring round is i suppose what makes it, they come to your table often and its fresh and hot, however it just seemed more steak behind offered, the meat hadn't been seasoned so it was literally like having a carvery just without the traditional sides, the cocktails were nice but couldn't really taste the alcohol and for over £10 you'd expect it to be strong The staff were all lovely and attentive, changed your plates over quickly and got you another drink within enough time I donk think its worth the £40 per person however i did go on a saturday so maybe different days are better Wasn't that bad just disappointing

We stopped for a birthday drink and were so impressed with the service from Natalia. She really made us feel welcome and special. What a lovely lady and thank you for making our birthday celebrations special! ❤️

Quite nice concept, nice food, nice staff despite the crowd. Would recommend.

Loved everything about my visit .very wheelchair friendly . Mind I did not use the toilets. Staff were very helpful

Could do better with revisiting the sitting area. Chairs and tables and cleaning the glass next to the tables at least. Perfect food and meat and wonderful staff.

We first started ordering out from this restaurant back in 2021 during the Pandemic, and they were really good to us. Especially as we had just come from Canada and were looking for a Brazilian steakhouse. Every time we have ordered out the food has been fantastic. Now that our daughters are older we have started dining at the venue, and let me tell you it has been beyond fantastic! We've been lucky and are normally seated with a view of the river. The service is amazing - always coming to check up on us and make sure we have everything we need. The meats come around frequently so we're never just sitting there waiting for food. The meats are always so delicious, and well made. The staff is polite. The ambiance is very relaxing, welcoming, and you never feel rushed. The salad bar has had a different selection every time we've come to dine in. We like this as we always get to try something different, and the staff are checking on it regularly to make sure it is always fresh. They offer proper Brazilian drinks that are similar to what we had when we were in Brazil. Overall they give the true Brazilian experience!! We drive from Shrewsbury to dine at this steakhouse, so in my opinion if you live in Birmingham or in its suburbs there is absolutely no reason why you are not dining at this place! I definitely recommend you try it out if you have not already - you won't be disappointed!!

Great meal out, nice location, endless food, steaks rib, sirloin rump,lamb leg and chops chicken, all brought on spit to be carved at table, huge salad extras bar I ate all I could If you're a carnivorous give it a go

Jantar super delicioso! Incrível a simpática de todo o staff. Muita variedade. Carne é servida na mesa, sempre quentinha. Ótima experiência, Com um ambiente top. Parabéns 🥰

Very tasty food but did not send the ribs or the sausages with the Grill :(

Very enjoyable visit (our first) to Rodizio Rico. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the servers that attended the tables were very attentive. The buffet was well-stocked with a variety of dishes including salads, pasta, breads and condiments, and the meats were also very good. There seemed to be quite a lot of beef and not much chicken/lamb on offer, but there was enough variety in the cuts of beef to keep it interesting. At £38 per head you really need to bring your appetite to get value for money, so don't make my mistake and have too much of the filling items from the buffet (e.g. focaccia) and keep plenty of room for the meat! If you're driving there is free on-street parking nearby after 6pm and the Mailbox car park (chargeable) is also nearby. Definitely worth trying but at the price point I'm not sure we'll be regular visitors, instead saving it for special occasions.

Used to come here and it was a really nice upmarket place, now feels like an expensive world buffet. Food was average, supposedly cooked carrots were raw, a lot of the meat was overcooked too & dry. Couldn’t get a drink as no waiting staff anywhere. Wouldn’t go back despite being regular customers previously.

3 of us met here for a few drinks and wanted somewhere to chat. Not easy on a busy Saturday night in Birmingham! But the host was most accommodating despite the restaurant being full and allowed us to sit outside, enjoy the last of the evening sun, take in the view and enjoy the experience. We had already eaten elsewhere but the food looked amazing and there was a real buzz to the place when we went in to the bar. Great selection of gins and a big plus point for me, the ladies toilets were spotlessly clean.

Staff very helpful and polite food brilliant

Fantastic atmosphere and brilliant staff, would recommend!

All you can eat is the highlight however, the majority of the meat isn't great with the best cuts coming few and far between. Its situated at the base of the cube along the canal which is a beautiful place to be and doesn't take long for you to be seated and eating. It's a nice experience if you haven't been before but it's likely not one you will go back to.

Qué experiencia maravillosa. Personal muy amable y acogedor. ( 1 temporizadores de calle) . La comida era fantástica, gran elección y simplemente siguió llegando hasta que toda la familia volteó la tarjeta de pedido a rojo para indicar no más. Recomiendo e iría de nuevo. Un lugar de cumpleaños digno.

Overpriced for the quality of food.

Cant fault it, everything was lovely

Really well looked after. Very enjoyable

si potrebbe migliorare il servizio, e x caso avete prenotato tramite the fork con lo sconto e chiedete il conto e richiedete sul il pagamento tramite carta, verificate tutte le diciture perché vi applicano lo sconto ma vi applicano anche un 10% in più con qualche extra nell importo, mi è capitato quindi vi consiglio di verificare

The best brazilian buffet experience in town.

The delivery itself was on time however just eat as a company was abysmal in locating someone to deliver and pushing my delivery time back was ridiculous and shouldn't be happening!!

Fabulous staff. Easy booking. Delicious food. Plentifu6.Patient staff. Made my sons 18th special.

All you can eat buffet style. Not for vegetarians. They have some vegetarian and vegan dishes, but truly it is for grilled meat lovers.

Nice place with nice view of Birmingham canals, went with friends for a birthday we didn’t book but easily got seats, the food is great but after 10 rounds with 3 of them being chicken and sausages,I felt that we were getting over looked for rounds of stake and felt like we were being snubbed in the hopes that we would leave quicker but when ask staff for extra it was brought to us but all in all a good place to visit.

The restaurant was really quiet considering in the mailbox on a Friday, that should have been warning I suppose, the buffet food was cold and looked like it had been out for while, the meat offered was ‘take it or leave it’ mostly red blood and rare, no other choice, and we felt it was overrated, very overpriced and didn’t enjoy the experience, we came away filling ripped off, we will not be going again , so disappointed

We got there early the quality of the sides you help your self to were brilliant meat started off fantastic but then came well over cooked. Absolutely roasting inside to an un comfortable level. Ok but would rush back especially for the price id rather have a nice steak dinner

Everything was perfect!! I love the unli salad bar and buffet and most especially the unli steaks! Definitely worth the money and experience! And absolutely coming back and recommend it to my friends.

Took too long for the meat, which is the main event, to arrive. Hit food element of the buffet was cold and the meat, when it finally arrived, wasn’t anything special. Could have had a steak at Miller & Carter for the same price.

Really great food much better than other Brazilian style places I've been

amazing meats and salad bar with more then salads from battered fish to chicken lasagna friendly staff

We really enjoyed our lunch at rodizio’s. Food was superb and ambiance is great. The staff were also very accommodating. We will definitely go back.

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and good service.

Varieties of meat parts, cooked to a good level. Speedy servers always come around to present you with different freshly cooked meat.

Came here with my partner on Saturday.. all the staff were lovely and polite.. food was amazing too. It was £39each for the buffet, £43 if you wanted a pudding too. The salad bar food was really good, the meat was cooked to perfection. It's well worth the money, especially if you have a big appetite ( I don't) lol.. Definitely worth checking it out 😊

Vinimos a cenar y estamos sorprendidos. Gran servicio al cliente ❤️ la comida es impresionante y el ambiente en el restaurante es hermoso. Volveré aquí seguro.

Amamos nosso atendimento como sempre, muito obrigada!

Qualità prezzo scadente. una bottiglia d'acqua a £ 6,90 è una truffa.

Just ok for this 1. It just feels so very expensive. Our chicken wings were really well overcooked but we're still offered to us. Nope should of taken them straight back. Friendly staff though which is always nice.

Awful. I loved this place on every previous visit but this time the service,food and ambience was terrible. Felt as though we didn't matter because there were bigger groups in there that were more important. The food was barely warm and seemed as if it was leftovers from the night before. The salad bar was made up of lasagne and over cooked chicken. No butter for the bread. £92 wasted. Both of us were not feeling great after either. Sadly we won't be returning anytime soon.

What wonderful experience we had met up with our friends & enjoyed a lovely welcome asked to sit by the window to take in the views of the canal. Waitress then was helpful explaining how it works & brought our drinks swiftly including water in a jug. The salad buffet was superb with lots of choice kept well stocked constantly. The for the delicious meats wow perfectly cooked & presented, particularly enjoying the Brazilian steak, rump steak, lamb & delicious chicken legs. We & our friends will definitely recommend & return very soon. Also the whole experience is great value for money. Thank you Rodizos 👌🏻😎.

The staff, attention to detail, friendly helpful and value for money. Great drinks selection, cocktails made properly and not with premix. The only thing that spilt it slightly were the parents who just have no regard for those of us who are there abd don't have children. I would personally like separate areas ir a ban in them... but other than that it was great.

Service was amazing, the food outstanding, we will definatly be returning.

Had an amazing time at Rodizio Rico Birmingham! Naches and Mia provided exceptional service, making our meal even more enjoyable. Delicious food, great atmosphere—perfect for a night out with friends!

Truly Brazilian experience! Top food and service.

Increíble experiencia y su miembro del personal Narciz lo hizo aún mejor, gran servicio al cliente. Definitivamente volveré pronto

We met up as friends and went for lunch here. The food was fantastic, the salad buffet was fresh. The meat was plentiful and frequent. Narcis was great and very entertaining. We would definitely come again.

Awesome food, huge portions but the service was extremely slow with the drinks!

Meat quality is fair, many varieties of meat, better than expected, staff serves meat very frequently, huge plus. Waitress that attended my table could have been more friendly.

Really disappointing. We went on our anniversary for lunch here today. Having been to Fazenda and other similar places I was expecting great things. Very very disappointed! The meat selection was nice but not that fresh with a weird aftertaste. Most of it was also overcooked. The chicken and lamb chops were nice. The cap steak is normally my favourite but here it was too salty and just didn’t taste that great quality either. Worst of all was the pathetic side dishes, lots of cold pickled salads, a gnocchi and pasta and corn on the cob. They didn’t even do vegetables or any Brazilian or Portuguese dishes. Do not recommend! Instead go to Fazenda where the sides are fresh and so yummy and there’s great variety. We had a lovely waitress and that’s the only positive, she was very sweet to our baby and very attentive. Waste of £60! Thank goodness we didn’t get drinks or desserts.

Almost all meat was extremely dry and completely overcooked. Pork loin was so dry as to be completely inedible. Beef and lamb dishes were similar (though ribs were marginally better). Passador spilled meat juices onto clothing and wet towel wasn’t even offered to assist clean up.

relation price / quality..... It can improve

It was very warm in the restaurant. The food has declined in quality and choice.

The service was amazing especially Claudia, she went above and beyond Thank you 😊 we will definitely be coming here again

Good food,didnt Expert the food to be that good! Really good quality meat and Flavors.

Drinks took a bit longer to be served

Diversity of dishes, food always fresh, service from all employees with a smile and generosity. Perfect option in the city to talk to our Brazilian brothers and greet our unique cuisine. I recommend it 100%.

food was amazing. and everyone was so quick to help and always around. great experience 👍

Staff were wonderful: really welcoming, can't fault them. However meat was overcooked and chewy. Salads were basic and things like chimichirri and mustard had gone crusty on the buffet as they weren't fresh. Decor was a bit tired. They add a 10% "discretionary brand fee" for "the use of the brand" which doesn't feel like it should be passed onto the customer's bill, especially on top of a £40 buffet.

Excellent food, but few buffet options!

I went yesterday with a friend of mine for pleasure. Cino excellent but the staff exceptional. The Romanian girl was really good and the waiter who also spoke Italian, I think he came from Trento, was very professional and pampered us. Really good and the food plentiful and quality
