Reviews of Rodizio Rico
S. S.
This place is really nice. On the menu that you can find online the price on Sunday was lower, but at the restaurant the price was fixed for the whole week. We took the 'All you can eat Meat Menu'. The meat and the buffet was good.
K. L.
We went here with work and the atmosphere was great all the staff were very welcoming and friendly especially as the place was very busy!
The food selection was very good great self service buffet with some tasty dishes and salads.
The meat was pretty good and I liked the concept of just choosing when you want your meat served and having a good selection.
Only criticism was that the price was a little high and because of that the meat which is the star of the show could of been a bit higher quality.
Drink prices quite high as well but otherwise it was very enjoyable and you can of course eat as much as you like with no limit!
A. B. S. H.
Great place for Brazilian food! We were very homesick, the meat is very good, and the sides and salads are of great variety too. The manager talked to us himself and was very welcoming, even sent a portion of Brazilian coxinhas, which we absolutely loved. It is a bit pricy, but we eat very well and it is worth it.
A. W.
Visited this restaurant twice and on both occasions the staff have been super welcoming, friendly and helpful.
The food is great! The buffet could be enough on its own due to so many delicious options! The endless meat deliveries are also superb!
Our last visit was at peak time on a Friday night, we were made to feel extremely welcome and weren't rushed in the slightest. Great place!

I cannot praise this place enough, this place was so delightful and overall a great place to take your family and on a special occasion. The staff made the place so much better they were so welcoming and happy to help you with whatever you need. The mains were so tasty you could help yourself to the salad bar which was a nice add to the restaurant. The deserts were so fancy and tasted amazing . There was two specific staff people called Marco and michel which helped with everything

One of my favourite restaurants in Birmingham...
I'm a big meat-eater (eating keto) so this Brazilian BBQ is like my heaven.
So many different meats and cuts to try, as well as the BEST salad bar. I mean, it's not just salad, it's a full on, hearty buffet! So much to choose from, for all tastes and diets.
Beautiful decor and ambiance. We've been here on dates, for family occasions, random lunches - it's always been lovely. It's especially atmospheric at night, with lower lights and views of the canals.
Plus, it's entertaining, being served at the table and not knowing what delicious thing is coming around next.
My only issue is that I end up eating too much! If you're not greedy and excitable like me, this won't be a problem, haha.
Went last week, going again later 😅 Highly recommend.
A. B.
The service was amazing, the atmosphere and cleaning between each round up to the salad bar was also excellent.. I would only say it's a tiy bit in on expensive air in terms of your normal budget for an adult bt well worth it if you can fill your boots of meat cooked to your own perfection. Lucky enough for this to feel normal in these times but throughly enjoyed the experience.
m. w.
All you can eat... different cuts of meat coming to you... all the food was absolutely delicious. Service was great. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. Would definitely go again and will 100% recommend to anyone to go and see for themselves. Absolutely great place 10/10... I wish I took photos to share.
h. b.
I can not praise this place highly enough. The staff were attentive but not annoyin. The food was unbelievably good, and plentiful. Excellent value for money. Great food, great staff and great atmosphere, what more could you want
C. C.
I was going to the Brazilian restaurant Rodizio Rico, I see they different all foods if you choose is one or two options. It is nice ate. I upstairs to the toilets right on the gentlemen's very nice.
M. R.
What a wonderful experience. A great place to go if you are a total meat eater! The food, staff and decor, all great. Definitely a place to go in a crowd. Very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
S. L. M.
Certainly an experience but not worth the money majority of meat comes though partially cooked if you like rare on beef chicken lamb n pork this place for you, only decent meat was brisket but only lol portion available asked several times for more but never brought out but skewer raw plenty of, salad bar no problem. Difficult to get staff attention for drink service on table. £32 per head and expect you yo pay the service charge at end too. Very loud hard hear people on your table, very crowded could hardly move and certainly unable get bar service or table service
N. W.
Great buffet bar with lots of Veggie options, my Veggie partner enjoyed her plates of " squeaky cheese " meats were awesome but noted that initially the meats came very quickly then slowed down. Felt like they were trying to fill us up quickly. After the initial bombardment of the gorgeous meats, table service slowed down a lot & we watched tables next to us being filled but missing us. £164 for 3 meat and 1 Veggie including 3 Stella's, 1 coke, & 1 gin. We visited on new years eve. We were not rushed or held to a time window. We were there for 2 hours in all. Great experience overall but would have liked to see a similar meat offering throughout the experience rather than the instant plate fills then being missed later
A. D.
Very good selection of BBQ meat and self serve buffet. Good value if you stay away from the stodgy fillers on the buffet. Drinks are fairly priced for a restaurant. Service is good too.
R.
Phenomenal service and food! Came on a very busy Saturday with a big table and Bianca and Andre served us with absolute ease. Food was beyond delicious and highly recommend to people for special occasions. A big thank you to the Manager who also took care of us and kept the atmosphere entertaining.
I. M.
The best place in Birmingham....tasty meat,special dishes and very nice salads ,Brazilian special recipes,pastas,fries and corns❤️Very good educated stuff and perfect administrator...
Good location in the Cube can help you to do unforgettable evening or meeting with friends and family..
Good food and smile - pledge of the restaurant❤️
I recommend this restaurant❤️Come and try❤️Only smile and never cry ❤️
L. E.
Honestly, I don't know how they make chicken taste as good as they do, it is exceptional. Most of their meats are great, but their chicken is beyond what the simple chicken should be able to be.
The lamb is very nice, maybe slightly over seasoned, but not to the point that it spoils it for me. Not the best lamb I've ever had but probably among the best.
All of the cuts of beef that I tried on my most recent visit were dry to the point of being practically inedible, which is why I have deducted a star. I can draw from previous experience and say that this hasn't always been / isn't always the case, because I have commented on how succulent the beef has been in the past. Unfortunately this time quite the opposite was true.
The baby steaks on the other hand were just as succulent as I remember the beef being during my last visit, truly cooked to perfection.
The pork products that I was presented with were a mixed bag, the sausages were far too salty, the ribs barely had any meat on them, but the gammon, which you'd expect to be salty, was delicious!
One criticism other than the beef during my most recent visit was that my partner requested garlic bread, chicken wings, and chicken hearts. Out of these, only the garlic bread appeared only to go around all of the other tables and then back to the bar without ever coming to our table, even though we requested it and there was still some left when it returned to the kitchen.
Also, I proposed to my partner there, and wasn't offered so much as a free drink! Not that I expect it, but I thought that they might make some kind of nice gesture.
We had a nice view of the canal, but unfortunately we were blinded by the setting sun. Not the restaurant's fault perhaps, maybe they could have set the tables so that customers aren't directly facing the setting sun, but then this would compromise the view so there are pros and cons to both table arrangements so this isn't a criticism of the restaurant at all, just something to think about if you're going to the restaurant at or near sunset.
R. M.
Well I didn't know much about this restaurant before going, when greeted at reception they didn't ask if we had visited previously they simply seated and left us to it, no explanation of how you get your sides etc. I flagged down a waitress and she was really helpful she explained how it worked and what to do, waiting staff were friendly. Front of house staff were disappointing and could improve their customer service skills.
D. D.
Great food 10 out of 10, leave the chicken hearts off though.
D.
Went for dinner on a Monday night. Plenty of options on the buffet however the meat was fairly dry probably because we went towards closing time. The baby beef was the best from the meat options and the tropical punch Mocktail was delicious. Overall not worth the price but the service from Mihai was really amazing! He was friendly, funny and attentive.
R. A.
It’s pricey but amazing food if you miss Brazilian food and want to have a taste do home ❤️ I missed some popular Brazilian dishes such as maionese, salpicão, but everything was SO tasty. We love the food and vibe of the place. It’s also in a good location. Friendly staff.
A. K.
Excellenat succulent pieces if a variety of meat. The salad bar was delicious and had a vast amount of different types of salads and warm dishes such a lasgane and couliflower cheese. The wine is tasty too. Gorgeous food. The tables were very sticky which i did not think was hygienic.
P. W.
Best meats ever and i also fell in love with the salads -very fresh and a variety !!The environment is warm and staff very friendly !!You can eat as much as you want -no rushing by the way !!!
M. G.
After taking a Brazilian friend here, who's been living in Germany for the last year and was really missing some proper Brazilian food, I can safely say this place was fantastic. Real authentic cuisine that reminded me of my time living in Brazil myself. We're so lucky to have this restaurant in Birmingham!
T. R.
Fantastic food, great waiters and nice cocktails. Don't hesitate when getting your food because they will run off to the next table if you blink. Be confident if you want a specific meat again just ask and they bring it, really friendly staff!
S. H.
Omg what a lovely place to eat the food is lovely and plentiful as much as you want the buffet table was divine and the meat was carved at table the staff was so friendly and helpful and the manager went above and beyond to make a birthday celebration awesome thank you so much we will be back
P. C.
Interesting new experience! Food was very good, desserts amazing and staff very friendly. Definitely will visit again.
e. p.
The best restaurant in town.......i recommended to anyone. The food is grate and the stuff is very professional and grate!!! This is the only restaurant witch i really enjoyed and always come back!!!!!!
K. M.
The food is delicious and the service is top quality. A special thanks to Florene who is always so professional and cooks the most amazing meat!
M. K.
This is the restaurant to go to if you love meat. They bring all types of meat cutlets of lamb, beef and pork. The boat side bar is fantastic offering variety of sides from salad to potatoes and veg. Also good for the vegetarian that loves vegetables and they do offer a vegetarian option consisting of holloumi cheese and grilled peppers. A great place for families and to spoil that special meat lover.
P. D.
Special thanks for brilliant staffs (Roberto & Chef Angelo), We had a good time with these friendly guys much fun and good feeling in fantastic vibe + really good food quality. Definitely 5 Star.
I. U.
The food is good, the service is good the place is nice. But the meat felt like it needed a bit more seasoning.
R. B.
Just love this place, our waitress was the best ever.... (didn't get her name) food as always just delicious
a. i.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Brilliant service and food is yummy. Meat eaters paradise. A bit busy and load music but OK.
J. D.
Amazing food, great service.
Drinks can take a while to come through busy periods but that's understandable on a Saturday night
Daytime menu is cheaper but just as good
Highly recommend
H. B.
Attended last Saturday July 23rd heard so many good thing about this place. Two of my friends that also attended was so excited that we were having dinner here as they had eaten here before and loved it. The buffet was good the buffet alone would be fine. The meat that comes round never really made it to us we had to keep asking for drinks it was busy. Hen party's and just generally busy and noisey however didn't really mind this. The problem here was lack of service the waitress that we had was so busy she was everywhere. I do think I would go again though maybe on a weekday.
b. t.
Spectacular service and tasty food however after a while it feels like you are just tasting the same flavours which ever meat you are eating, its definitely a place to try as it could be to your taste.
J.
Nice Friendly place, great salad bar loads of different meats that come round .
You have to sometimes ask for meats and Garlic bread is a must in this place!
Sorry haven't got any pictures of the meats.
The staff bring them on skewers hot and cut you pieces in your plate. :) Would recommend to try it for a experience. 😁
E. A.
Nice meal all the meats were freshly cooked, would have liked them carved at the table like a proper churrascaria instead of pre carved. The salads were very and a good assortment although the hot food could’ve been a little hotter. The staff were friendly, spent a lot of time gossiping and every table around us had to get their own cutlery and ask for plates to be cleared. It is expensive for what it is and the drinks are over priced, but it was good to try out.
I was surprised the tables weren’t distanced apart as per govt guidelines, many window tables were sitting within 1m of each other.
T. D.
Update.. I've had two more visits since my first review.
This place is great. Eat as much as you like, or can. Management and staff are friendly and helpful. The self service buffet is now open again. All meat selections are regularly bought to your table.
This place is foodie paradise. Due to covid restrictions the food is bought to the table.
The staff are friendly and entertaining. The whole experience is a pleasure. 5+ stars from me
D. Z.
Been here multiple times and always had a Great experience. Quality of the meat is very good and therefore justifies the price.
C. N.
Very nicely cooked and seasoned meat. Plenty of options on the sides although they weren't all particularly fresh.
Meat came round often and when there was a long lapse we asked for more to be bought out and it was.
Service was excellent, very friendly. All you can eat for a good price! Not quite outstanding, but definitely a good restaurant and better quality than some Rodizios. Accommodated our table of 12 and had two other large groups in that night, without seeming over stretched.
T. D.
This place is like meat heaven.
You are seated and given a card, green one side red the other. Whilst your card is green servers will continually come to the table offering you a large selection of meats that is carved off right there in front of you... yum!
To top it off there is a delicious buffet that you can help yourself to.
We had a lovely waitress very smiley and attentive.
3rd time there now and I am not disappointed. Just wish my belly did not feel so bloated!
C. G.
Went here for a Saturday night meal with friends. The service received was fantastic and the food was great. Lots of meat available and a decent selection of rice, vegetables and salads to accompany it. I am looking forward to going back at some point.
O. H.
Great choice of foods, lots of variety. Buffet style is always really tempting, make sure you are hungry before you go!
C. W.
It's alright but given the choice, I'd rather have gone out for a decent steak somewhere - quite expensive for what it is. Waiter was great, location is good - not rushing to hear back.
D. T.
Great food very friendly staff always eat too much when I'm there
M. M.
Absolutely wonderful to finally have a good quality Brazilian Churrasqueria in the heart of Birmingham. It is set on the canal so ask for a canalside table in the summer to get a stunning view. Food is good, a great buffet of salads and hot sides you can get including fried fish, stews, rice and potatoes. The meats come to your table and waiters carve them on to your plate. They have chicken breast, thighs, wings and hearts. Beef rump, sirloin, skirt, ribs, lamb chops, leg of lamb, pork sausages, pork loin and ribs. I don't eat pork so can't comment on that but most of the meat was nice, sometimes a bit dry so just choose succulent bits when they come round. Chicken hearts delicious. They also do amazing mocktails!
J. P.
Nice place, the people working they speack portuguese/brasilian and english. Only problem, the price a bit excessive. But good meat and nice buffet
S. J.
Superb restaurant..would eat here every night if I could afford it.
M. W.
If you love meat, then you will love this place. The food is freshly cooked and the waiters continually come round to put more on your plate, carved at your table. The prices are reasonable too. The service is friendly and faultless. Will definitely be going back for another visit.
C. M.
Very lovely endless service and gud fud
T. R. M.
Loved the food. Well organised and classy as well as casual. Bumped into Borris Johnson on my way in lol. Great variety of food my belly is so full. After you help yourself at the buffet the staff offers more meat when you’re at the table.
M. K.
I really enjoy this restaurant and have been quite a few times with friends and colleagues. Always great service and delicious food.
M. N.
Lovely décor, great staff and a fantastic selection of food and drinks.
The salad and veggies bar looked fresh and well stocked with a good selection and the meat that was provided was perfectly cooked.
The group thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rodizio Rico!
E. C.
Great friendly service. The restaurant has welcoming atmosphere. Cocktails are a must and the food is succulent and tasty
M. H.
Loved coming here again, and the staff were very welcoming and reassuring. Would recommend any day of the week,
A. C. G.
Wow what a great find, the food was fresh. Large selection of salads, pasta dishes, lasagna, califlower cheese, bread, olives, dips, fish, curry it's endless. The unlimited meats; chicken, pork, lamb, steak and gammon served at your table all the time. We done a Groupon voucher £21 P/P this includes a free drink so well worth it, we had there cocktail as our free drink very nice. But remember you have a 10% service charge even with a Groupon voucher, however staff are so friendly and the service was great so well worth it.
S. V.
First time visit. What a great experience! We were celebrating a birthday and had a wonderful time. The food was fabulous, the salad bar full of a good variety to everyone's taste and the meat delivered to the table was varied and delicious. The picture shows my plate before the meat was brought to the table. Highly recommend.
K. C.
Went hear for a nice lunch date. The location was lovely and we used the pay and display parking right outside the back of the cube.
Inside was lovely had a window seat overlooking the canal, with the music on, it was very fitting with the Brazilian theme.
Got the deal through Groupon, which meant we got to choose a cocktail on arrival, we went for the passion fruit which was lovely.
The salad bar buffet you can just go up to and take cold and hot foods, there was a wide variety to choose from.
The meats where cooked and brought round straight to the table and you could choose howmuch or Little you wanted.
When the steaks came out you could request well done, which was great for us.
However my partner didn't like how you had to wait for the different meats to come round, especially if the one coming was something she didn't like.
But over all it was a really nice lunch and great setting
A. L.
More expensive than a usual night out but worth it for a treat, lovely food and friendly staff. Wish I went hungrier to eat more.
r. b.
Absolutely fantastic lunch here. Service and surroundings were impeccable. You won't leave here hungry.
S. O.
Great Food
Great Sevice
Friendly helpful staff
Meats were excellent
First time visit but definitely come again
E. J.
Nice place, fancy. The service is great and we go here regularly. They also have a vegetarian choices. Have a wide variety of meat and would definitely recommend.
L. L.
“Endless supply of meat” would be a understatement. This place also serves great sides, especially the salmon gnocchi! Solid choice for a gathering or a celebration, not too fancy but just fancy enough. Thanks to ?Roberto for the great service! 👏👏
J. S.
Excellent experience, we were fortunate enough to get a table on New Year's Eve. In spite it being busy, service was prompt and on point.
The unlimited selection from the salad table was excellent and the variety of meats presented to us at our table was plentiful and delicious. Not to mention the tasty drinks!
Thank you Rodizio Rico 🥳👌
Z.
A really lovely evening and experience spent with family celebrating my son's 18th birthday. The ambience and service was on point. Very chilled and friendly staff available to help.
The food was excellent. The meat and salad bar divine! 👌. Will definitely be going back there, and would highly recommend this place. Thank you Rodizio Rico!!👌Considering how things have been during the pandemic, and tonight being the very first night after freedom day, I was very apprehensive about going to eat out.. and I have to say seating plans were well thought out to accommodate groups of people and yet still, we didn't feel like we were crumped up together. Beautiful restaurant all round!!❤
A. O.
Florine the chief in afternoon shift is the man you looking for if seeking proper service at different amazing level. Aline the waitress who i called her the wine guider with beautiful smile. Big love for Rodizio Rico staff 💜
U. K.
Very tasty Brazilian steak, great atmosphere, definitely. Buffet set up, you get up & choose your veg & then the staff bring over the variety of tasty meat they have available. Not a place suitable for vegetarians/vegans
D. W.
All you can eat Brazilian. Great value for money. The food was wonderful. I'd have to day the lamb and the rump steak were my favourites of the meats. The buffet table had a good variety of foods. Different salads, vegetables, breads, and fish dishes. The prawns and salmon were very good. Excellent cocktails and wine. Must say a thank you to the staff as we were a large birthday party of about 30 people.
M. D.
Great value meal with an abundance of choice from the buffet and the table service. Ask for a table overlooking the canal.
L. H.
Insane, the tenderness, taste and quality of the meat and all the food. Due to Covid it means the waiters bring round the food and it was incredible service on top of everything else. Amazing drinks made by the new bartender, thoroughly enjoyed the taste and quality. Outstanding night and thoroughly recommend
R. F.
Great atmosphere, the staff can't do enough!
Even though it's all about meat the veggie options were just as nice!
D. M.
Food's always good, but at slower times the meat might get a little dry, but still tasty. Park in the Mailbox car park and take the lift up to level 3 then it's only a 2 or 3 min walk to meaty goodness
P. A.
Very busy and very noisy restaurant so just be warned if you do decided to go here.
Food is okay. Staff nice. But probably wouldn't go again as was shocked at the price. Rather go somewhere with better food. 😅
D. V. C.
Came to celebrate my brothers birthday with family. Our waiter was very friendly and the mamageress was very accommodating for my nieces food allergies.
Service was pretty good at the start and waned after, alot of the food went out in circulation but then never reached our table. It would make sense if the service split routes rather than take the same route so the everyone is seen to.
The selection of meat is pretty decent and the grill chef keeps churning out the food.
Salad bar wasn't bad but don't fall into the trap of carbing up before the meat buffet.
I would say its a decent place with a group or event.
G.
On arrival, we just knew we were in for a pleasant evening.
Hospitality, atmosphere, quirky decor and most importantly the food is faultless. Definitely would recommend it, we will definitely be back and have recommended it on Google as well! Going back to the food, well this certainly is a meat lovers paradise, the meats were amazing and despite the large portion I think I could have managed a few more as they were so tasty especially the lamb. Everyone in our group commenting on how delicious their meals were.
I would highly recommend a visit to Rodizio Rico for those of you who enjoy a good hearty meal, impeccable customer service and extremely friendly staff.
It was our son's surprise 30th birthday party. The lady at front of house was so accommodating, even putting up photos of our son and arranging extra tables for a more than expected party of 30...your were a star (sorry didn't get your name). And another special thanks goes to Roberto who ensured all our needs were met and ended up being our designated photographer.... You're a star too!!
All in all a wonderful night... WELL DONE ALL THE STAFF including lovely waiting staff.. A WELL DESERVED 5 STAR. (PLEASE OPEN ONE OF YOUR RESTAURANT IN IRELAND!?)
C. E.
Good food, served by friendly and attentive staff.
e. p.
Loved the place!!tasty food and great wine list!and last but not least canal view!
N. K.
If you love meat, you'll love this place. Brilliant staff bringing you freshly cooked meats for as much as you can eat.
My new happy place.
I. R.
Nice atmosphere and the food was good apart from the beef that was chewy, we were placed by the entrance which was cold and drafty
A. A. B.
Variety of grilled meat
The food was delicous and tasty😋
The service was good👍🏻
The cost was a little high
But overall, this was my first time to eat in this restaurant with my friends and I will come back again 😊
M. L. -. J.
Great food, friendly staff well worth a visit.
A. A. D.
Nice place to enjoy time out with the family. Please DO NOT eat before you leave home, you will be offered EVERYTHING every 2 minutes till you leave (Run away). Good meal, pleasant staff, beautiful atmosphere. if you love Grills the place is the best
J. S.
I honestly love this place, the food is always amazing, the buffet bar has a huge selection. It might not be cheap but I always feel I've gotten good value
k. L.
Always a pleasure, staff food and drinks always superb.
Nice to order a decent glass of wine by the glass.
k.
Great live music, food (including the self-service buffet and the meats. Amazing customer service and view.
A. v. O.
Good to stay here for real meat lovers. Friendly crew lots of different meats and tasty cocktails. Recommended!!
N. I.
Good place for meat lovers with a great view. Lamb is very good, buffet has a limited choice for fresh and healthy food. The buffet is located in the center with all.kibf of salads, snacks, and the guy with different types of meat, incl sauseges, visit you every 3mins, you could show with the sight that you've been given, whether you'd like to try or just pass.
J. P.
Amazing place, still my favourite restaurant. I even been to their branch in Punta Cana/Dominica Republic. Still great quality throughout. I love the introduction of seafood to the menu too.....Great food, staff and clean environment.
a. c.
Friendly service, great drinks and lots and lots of delicious meats. 🍖
C. L.
Food is good nice view of canal we went at 4.30pm and felt that we were given lunch menu but was charged for evening menu as the meats were limited and we had to ask for meats
q. s.
Amazing food , multiple kinds of appetizers, cozy atmosphere and the most important halal meat .
T. Y. W.
The food was OK at first but as it neared closing, the quality slowly declined. The meat coming out became dry and tough. So if visiting, don't go too close to closing time.
G. M.
Very attentive staff, very tasty food and a good atmosphere. I enjoyed it enormously.
A. V.
The place is good but they started to push lots of pasta and chicken and by the time the steak comes, you're full. Not much salad choice either..since the buffet is not in use, you can't really chose what to eat, it's just waiting around until they bring something you like.
C. C.
The best Brazilian restaurant in town. Fantastic customer service from Roberto and all the staff. I highly recommend.
A. T.
Unfortunately this restaurant didn't live upto my expectations, Saturday evening-busy as expected, understandable- but it seemed that the bigger tables of diners were getting preference..but the meats did come to our table....the ribs were terrible- all bone and knuckle ends, the lamb was super salty ( and I like salt) all in all its was just disappointing 😔..the concept 💡 is a good one....but you need good quality products and this is were Rodizio Rico seems to be let down...
T. C.
Such friendly service and the food is non-stop! Pace yourselves 😂
S. W.
At over £35 a head, it's not somewhere you go if you're looking for cheap. But by heck if you've an empty stomach you can still get your money's worth. So many lovely cuts and meats. Service was friendly and patient with us. We look forward to visiting again.
M. M.
Great service, even with social distancing and not being able to done indoors.
Can't wait to see them open their doors fully.
R. S.
So the food was ok. The meat was tasty particularly the Brazilian beef and the lamb.
Other meat served were chicken wings, sausages, pork, soft beef, quite a variety.
There was also a salad table with the usual and additions like roast potatoes, calamari which was a bit bland.
It was a Brazilian restaurant but I wish they would have given it a more Brazilian feel.
We are glad we tried it but I have no reason to come back again.
If you love your meat it is worth a try.

Lovely time. Too much food but you can't help yourself. Great company helps too...

Went here with the Mrs, nice and atmosphere with a good view of the canals. The food overall was nice, had the salads, cheese and the meat was cooked well. Wasn’t fond of the chicken but I do recommend coming here.

Best place in Birmingham! Truly brazilian experience! Picanha is sensational (the meat below). Basically you go to the salad bar, fill your plate with a great selection of brazilian food (rice, farofa, feijão, salmon, shrimp/prawn) then, gentleman waiters come with meat on metal sticks and you eat all you can. It's very similar to steakhouses in Brazil! Don't forget to have a caipirinha (alcoholic drink similar to mojito, have the jar!!!)

Such nice staff friendly and funny. Good for meat lovers. Love the location of the channels.

This restaurant is very, very nice I have been to the restaurant some years ago an the standard's I can say is the same very good. They just kept coming with the meat to your table, beef, chicken, sausage, lamb, all deferent sorts of meat. You get your salad an bread, rice, yourself food a food station they also do food for children sherphards pie, fish, all deferent things to go with your meat. I will be going again.☺️☺️☺️

We celebrated my friend's 50th birthday last Saturday on the 26th June at Rodizio Rico. What a Lovely, Lovely time we had. Our host, Roberto was Absolutely outstanding, he rendered outstanding customer service and went the extra, extra mile to make it Exceptional Special. It felt like we had our own private room.Thumbs up to up. The food was tasty and yummy. We definitely will come again and forsure will promote you. Keep up the Excellent Service!! Thumbs up to the waiters and chefs aswell!!🤗🤗

One of the best steaks I've ever had.

Just fantastic. So much excellent food in a stunning environment alongside the canal. Highly recommended.

Food was delicious, lots of varieties of meat made their way round and we did not leave hungry. Buffet was well stocked and monitored and the staff were kind and attentive. My only complaint was that given the current covid situation I was a bit uncomfortable with the communal buffet utensils. I was sat right by a hand sanitising point provided but I didn't see any customers using them before or after going to the buffet.
N. O.
Lovely place, Nice food. The waitress that attended to us 'Aline' was amazing, you won't miss her if you go there. She's very pleasant.
C. M.
Really enjoy going there. Food is tasty and plentiful.
My only gripe is that is a fiver for a desert, and nearly a tenner for a cocktail. But as you imagine, I don't get out into central too often.
Beware the service charge too. They will take if off and f you ask. My guess is the waitress doesn't get it. I leave a decent tip in cash. 😊
N. W.
Although the restaurant was busy, the service was quick, the tables and facilities were clean. They offer an all you can eat salad buffet with a good choice of fresh dishes. Then the grilled meats are very good, a waiter offers a skewer of cuts of beef and you take a few slices.
Don't be greedy because other waiters will bring lamb or chicken until yoy are fit to burst. Best thing is the meat is halal. Enjoy Rodizio Rico, it is good.
S. C.
Service was extremely slow. Didn't get asked all night if we were wanting a 2nd drink. Considering how salty the food was we needed it! Had to actually call staff over each time we wanted water/drinks.
Won't be returning at that cost.

Great experience, amazing service and tasty food

Excellent food and super service thank you meat, meat and more meat 😂

Fantastic food and fast service. The food was delicious and soft, perfectly cooked and it just keeps coming. Only slight criticism would be some of the rump steak beef was a little over-seasoned with salt. The salad buffet had some delicious sides. Restaurant decor is very nice inside and the views over the canals are excellent. Would defo come here again.
S. A.
Good quality food. All you can eat meat for a reasonable price. Good variety of sides/ non meat dishes.
E. L.
Been here twice. Good selection at the buffet area. Meats were cooked to perfection and you can even request how you like your Beef/steak. They go around in batches. Sausages are seldom offered as they quite popular but unless you request for it, they will not go to your table automatically. The only downside is it gets really packed in the weekend especially on a Saturday! Yesterday was a nightmare as we were asked to move the other table onto one side so people can squeeze in, trying to accommodate everyone. Reservations can be way too overbooked in this place. Also, drinks are overpriced for what they are (taste wise as well) compared to other high end bars. Otherwise, the interior is good and staff are accommodating.
A. K.
Oh my god one of the best places for food period, everything is absolutely amazing, and I mean EVERYTHING!! The food, the staff, the service, the decor. After my first visit, its my new favourite place, and I hope they stay in operation through the new lockdown, Id love their food for our anniversary!!
J. B.
A nice clean place with high quality tasting meats.
S. Y.
Looking at the reviews I was expecting food to be amazing unfortunately besides the chicken the meat was poor quality... Any of the beef was in the tough side. I expected it to melt in your mouth, the lamb was the same. This is the second time we have been to this type of restaurant 1st been in Manchester bem brasil which was were I got my expectations from. Bill was reasonable especially because they gave 10 off per person until this Thursday as they extended the ear out offer themselves. Restaurant is very clean and kitted out wonderfully with an amazing location but we travelled 50 miles for the food and we were all a little disappointed.
L. V.
Isn't a bad place to visit at all but as Brazilian I would say the staff could be a little bit more lovely and patience with the costumers. Not throw the meat at the customers is a good begin. I know the concept of all you can eat normally is stressful for the staff but respect is the minimum that we can wait from everybody so for the price that we had pay for we wait more from the staff.
The food is very good and the meat are perfect.

We visited this evening for dinner (25/05/2018). The food was amazing. The meat was delicious. The salad bar had variety of hot and cold selections. The cocktails are a must try.
Staff were very friendly and the manager was one of the loveliest person we have met.
The restaurant is beautiful. We were sat next to a window over looking the canal.
The service was exceptional and food was amazing. We had a beautiful evening.

Friendly service, great location, some cuts of steak a little overdone but the chicken lasagne was by far the best food there. The steak cuts were generally very nice

After the Rodizio in Northampton closed some 5+ years ago I have longed to take my family for what is a fantastic Brazilian dining experience. ....... it was worth the wait and then some. I love eating meat and without question the most succulent and tasty bits of meat get brought around to your table as long as you are able to keep the place-mat green. I invited the bearers of these gifts every time they came round to the point where I could not keep up as the caravan of flavour and variety kept coming, you dare not let them pass by in case you miss out on something wonderful. Although I specifically went for the meat that magically continued to come passed in waves; I was also very impressed with the depth of variety and flavour at the buffet bar Where you get a great taste of some Brazilian cuisine. Hopefully it won’t be so long before we revisit.

Came to try with a disabled friend. Not the restaurants fault however there is little guidance how to get to this clutch of restaurants with mobility problems. The whole area seems designed for the young, beautiful and fit!
However, once found and inside the welcome was better than average and as we had booked and chosen an early slot we were seated quickly and a table was offered that was best for my friend and which also had a decent view of other than other diners.
The format is semi-buffet, the 'starters' and salads were self selection and very fresh and very authentic. We are frequent long distance travellers and know our cuisines. Out of S America only a similar establishment in Atlanta rivals this one . . . And as it started so it went on.
Course after course of meat on skewers cooked in the open to view great oven. I found everything exactly to my tastes, my friend prefers less well cooked and juicier. If you don't demand your animals still bleating and lowing then it will be fine for you! The quality of the meats was high, little fat, tendon and gristle so no need to gnaw or request a sharper knife! The garlic bread is excellent too.
There is a good selection of authentic drinks and the prices are reasonable. Service was fast, attentive without being oppressive and two of the servers we spoke to were authentic and spoke Portuguese and good English . . . every question asked was answered.
Service from reception to presentation of the bill and helping my friend off the premises was excellent, I noticed extra care being taken of children in a large family party on a table nearby. Cleanliness in the dining areas, the buffet area and the toilets was excellent.
I would very happily return and would recommend the quality of both food and service to anyone looking for a venue to take non-typical diners.
S. T.
Came for a friend's birthday party. Huge variety of grilled meats. All perfectly seasoned and grilled well. The right amount of chat to get that flame grilled taste. The meat stay juicy. The beef ribs and gammon were popular. Chicken hearts also an option, and my favourite. Small nuggets of lean protein with slightly bouncy texture.
Salads and pasta dishes also come round.
Easy system using red or green placards to denote if need more food.
o.
Came here on Monday lunch time with my girlfriend for my birthday. Food was absolutely amazing. Offering a great choice of salads, pastas and sauces & the most amazing range of meats. Beef, Lamb, Pork, Chicken all cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. Such an amazing variety too and the garlic bread was insane The service was also almost perfect.
Unfortunately, I have to give this place 3 stars rather than the 5 that I'd like to as we went for lunch but were charged dinner prices with no explanation. Lunch is meant to be £18 per person and we were charged £28 per person which was a bit of a shock. We were not informed this would be the case when we booked over the phone nor before we sat down for our meal. We only realised when we were provided with the bill (£78 rather than the £50 or so we had planned for). This was massively disapointing because if we knew, I'm sure we'd have forced more food down.
Such a shame because the place itself is amazing and has great staff who offer an excellent level of service.
J. A.
Great meat buffet, garlic bread toast crave for
S. P.
Oh my life!!! All you can eat literally means all you can eat. The server comes round so quickly you have a plate piled with meat, which is cooked to perfection I might add. Sirloin steak is to die for, I could eat this for days apart from the fact I was stuffed. Staff were so friendly and professional. Loved every minute of it, will definitely be back! Lunch is cheap enough especially for what you can get. Visit!
M. B.
Excellent meat. The taste is really very good, I was very pleased to have dinner here.
J. M.
Quiet Sunday afternoon "meaty" dinner. The may was coming thick and fast. The Brazilian beef was delicious and the lamb very was beautifully flavoured. Don't go there if you're a vegetarian.you won't be pleased. But if you're"hungry" or like big portion sized food, 🍴 fill your boots. 😉 or should I say, "fill your belly". Hahaha ✨
J. “. D.
Great food! Loved their salad area and I'm not normally fond of beef but I loved the way it was presented and tasted. I kept going back for their green beans; the veggies, in general, were really good. This was the first time I went to this restaurant and it was worth the trip from Wolverhampton for a birthday dinner (table for 9). Planning on going there again. The staff were fantastic, very personable; my friend received a complimentary drink as it was her birthday and some of the staff gathered round to sing and present her cake. It was heartwarming and I feel worth the price.
R. C.
A great ambience and the food is worth the money. The way its served and how generous the portions are, is second to none. Ideal for a romantic evening out or just a good meal with mates.
One of my favourite restaurants in Birmingham.
R. N.
Great food. Continuous stream of meat when taking the option. Various types and of great quality.
Option of buffet bar is available also with various assortments of food and sauces to help aid the all you can eat meat experience.
Would definitely recommend trying out at least once for the experience but be aware that it is a tad bit expensive. 👍🏾
T. S.
The food was delicious, both the selection of meats and the cold buffet.
However the tables are far too close together which makes it both noisy and difficult to get in and out when going back to the buffet etc.
Service was also quite slow with 5 drinks (3 beers, 2 soft drinks)taking 10-15 minutes to arrive after ordering them.
j. r.
It was ok food a little too salty and also if they could reduce the price that would be more welcoming. 28 pounds aint worth it whether they come with food and things to you continually. The times we are in now are hard, plus the food way too salty to be charging such high price its even 18 with the eat out and help out scheme which finish this week so I wouldn't say its my first choice restaurant
m. d.
Lovely food but at £32.90 I feel overpriced
s. g.
For £28 a head I don't think its good value at all. Obviously with what is going on in the world you would normally help yourself to the buffet/salad bar but the 2 women serving were miserable as anything and I felt like a fat pig choosing just a small selection. The waiter serving the meat couldn't even crack a smile! Everytime the meat was bought over it was practically raw even though had asked for it to be well done. Were not fussy eaters at all but would of rather spent our hard earned in the Indian up the road.
P. G.
Brazilian restaurant located in the Cube overlooking the canal. The place is nicely decorated with big windows. We started with cocktails before going to the 'boat' selection which was very good and varied. I like the beans with rice and casava on top. Then there is the various meat cut at your table from beef,porc, lamb and chicken all with different flavours as much as you can eat. I didn't take dessert but my friend had a chocolate mouse. I really like the place it's a bit pricey but once in a while it's a great treat. Highly recommend.
C. S.
This restaurant is well worth a visit and good value for money. The venue is very nicely presented and comfortable - although I noticed on my last visit that the floor need a good mopping. The food is really where it shines and the BBQ is awesome, really well cooked and flavoursome. I especially enjoyed the beef and lamb chops! Puddings are extra and also really nice. Would recommended going on a busy night (Friday or Saturday) as the quality of the meats really seem to ramp up when there are a lot of people in (perhaps because it doesn't last long).
G. F.
It was DELIOCIOUS! First you try the salad bar, and after the waiters bring the LOT of tasty meats. I really recommend!
T. N.
Good Brazilian rodizio! Eat as much as you can very good be prepared to get full as the food in this place is delicious. And makes you want more and more of it!
S. B.
It was ok .if you like a lot of meet that is the place to go shame nobody asked you about.
N. D.
Amazing food for great price. We had to wait 30 min on Tuesday night to get a seat, but we didn't regret it. Food was absolutely amazing, and they had huge list of wine and cocktails. One of the rare places where I had great Blue Hawaiian cocktail. Strongly recommend!
M. S.
The meat is amazing. Delicious. And very, very plentiful. The other dishes are fine, but don't waste your time with those. You're there for the meat. Helpful staff. All of that said, it's very expensive (£27, plus 10% tip added automatically), and drinks are steep too (£2.50-3.50 for a coke/330ml can). Look out for the Groupon which gives you meat and a drink for £21. But not on Fridays 🙂
S. F.
Eight of us visited mid December. We were seated quickly and attended by friendly, helpful staff. The meat started to arrive shortly after and kept on coming at very regular intervals, until we'd all had our fill.
I'd say the quality was mixed but overall good.
There were a lot of big groups there so they did well to keep up.
My first experience of this type of restaurant was El Vaquero. They had better meat but service was much slower.
D. B.
Excellent food and atmosphere. The meat was so delicious and the buffet had a great selection. Did a bit of samba dancing despite not having a clue what I was doing. Had an amazing time and will definitely be back soon.
R. M.
Amazing food. Staff are very polite, friendly and the table service is second to none. Thanks again
S. B. (.
Brilliant experience. Food flows to the table such a huge variety of dishes and meats on offer, well worth the admittance
E. G.
The food was perfect, the waiters didn't leave you for very long with an empty plate and the meat was some of the most melt in your mouth meat that we have had. Our waitress was lovely, it was shame that she had to keep going on her phone, when you could tell she wasn't allowed, I would have given them 5 stars if it wasn't for the phone issue.
D. S.
Love this place!!! The stuff is very friendly and approachable, they always ask you if you want more, if the food is good.
The food is DELICIOUS!! Everything tastes and looks amazing!
Also, I would like to point out Timur, Manager Assistant, who was very helpful with sorting our table out and making ourselves feel welcome and at ease.
Overall, I would definitely recommend!!
M. W.
Great place, so many meats and a lovely buffet too.

If you like meat. This is the place to go. Great service and choice of meats,salads and drinks. Was my partner's birthday and even let her share out a birthday cake someone had got for her. The staff put some candles on it and brought it to the table lit encouraging everyone to sing happy birthday. Much to my partner's embarrassment.

Awesome a carnivores heaven, non Stop Good Quality Meat service was great too 5*****

If like Brazilian BBQ then you will love this place! The meat is beautifully cooked and there is a good quantity of it.
The waiting staff here are amazing! Incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The location of the restaurant is great. Very close to the city centre and incredibly easy to get to if you have come in by rail.
I look forward to coming back here soon!

Amazing atmosphere and some fabulous food. The meat just keeps on coming and is excellent in quality and variety. This is a carnivores paradise. The service was outstanding and the overall experience is special. Highly recommended.
R. U.
Food was good and the cuts of meat were enjoyable.
Had visited with my girlfriend who had a number of food allergies. She had a reaction and even though we had tried to get to the bottom of what could have been the cause, the manager was adamant that everything they did was very stringent.
Even though a reaction had occurred, they were not as willing to accept that they had missed something and the possibility of cross contamination (likely in the buffet area).
Manager was good and very polite, unfortunately the likelihood of return is quite low due to risk of cross contamination and lack of acknowledging where contamination could have happened.
C. H.
A very good atmosphere and variety of food.

Great concept here, self serve area packed with salads, pasta, breads and more, once your plates full sit down and then the guys come round with various different meats and cuts for you to tuck in to. Pleasant staff and a nice drinks selection as well. Recommend it.
R. H.
Great food in a lovely setting - right on the canal front. If you're a meat lover then you will love this place! A new meat platter will come round every few minutes and there is that much choice that you could stuff yourself and never eat the same dish twice.
M. G.
Arrived for a lunch with colleagues, to a warm welcome.
Food was excellent, selection of meat and accompaniments was more than expected.
Recommend you give all the meats a try, even the Chicken heart.
Prices vary at different times of day, as do the meats available, so check before going, but we were not left wanting on the lunch 'menu'.
Didn't have room for dessert, so cannot comment.
Recommended, would certainly look to go again, but not for children or vegetarians unless you really have to.
A.
Loved this place. Food is amazing especially if you like meats! Big choice a different meat and cooked meal.
Just the price, too much expensive!!! and they automatically add 10% service without asking anything which is not acceptable for me. Do not hesitate to ask to remove it. They will do it.
B. D.
Rodizio Rico is a fancy place and expensive place to find in. The interior is posh and fancy. It's an unlimited buffet restaurant and you can pay £28 for non-veg dinner and £24 for veg dinner. The lunch options are cheaper and they have all the prices on their website. It is quiet pricy.
The good thing however is that when you go for the vegetarian option, you still have loads of meat options from the buffet like chicken balls, fish fillet, pasta and lasagne, various meat currys etc. You also get some various specials that the chef makes for the vegetarian option like halloumi and mash etc.
The non-veg is a great experience to have variety unlimited meats. It's specifically for meat lovers. Let me warn you though, if you love your spices and seasoning like my dad, the non-veg option is not for you as the meat that comes to your table is quiet bland.
The service is excellent and the stafg always check on you. You can take as many clean plates as you like and they clear the table for you.
The reason I gave 4 stars was I found hair on my plate as well as my dad's and they did apologise saying that it's probably one of their customers because the buffet is open and loads of people serve from it. Also mentioned it can't be the chefs since they're all men. They changed the plate for me and gave a little concession at the end. So it was all good.
Overall great place.
S. S.
Excellent restaurant. Have been over 5 times in the last year. Worth visiting as a couple, a group of friends or a large party. Staff are attentive, food is amazing and surprisingly for an unlimited meat place the vegetarian food is phenomenal.
There is a wide range of meats and cuts, with 99% of the beef, lamb and chicken being halal apart from the beef neck and obviously the pork.
Wide range of desserts and drinks.
The meat
B. U.
I love the buffet and the meat is usually top notch but last night found quite a few of the cuts overly salty. As a treat it's a nice meal but it's overpriced for what it is, especially the drinks. Also had to wait a good 15 minutes to pay, waitress wasn't very attentive.
m. C.
Nice meal in a great location , family & friends good time.
K. T.
Rodizio Rico is the place to be!!! Second time coming here and second time the food is spot on. The servers are amazing and treat you with good hospitality skills. The food is divine 😍😍😍 would highly recommend this place. Definitely a place for people who like their meat
K. C.
If you are a carnivore - this is the place for you! The variety of bbq meat is simply amazing, and oh so delicious! My only criticism is the price of the drinks - that is where they get you! But the food really is awesome, the top tip is don't fill up on the buffet.
L. C.
Absolutely fabulous, definitely go again!

This place is a meat lovers paradise, the food was amazing every piece of meat was succulent, juicy and flavorful. The side dishes were varied and tasty. Once we were seated we were not rushed and were able to take our time in the restaurant having drinks and eating.

I took my entire family there for a meal after trying one in Atlanta USA. The experience wasn't the same. The food was good some of it though was a little tough the part that was somewhat disappointing for me personally was in having to remind them that we were there and still ready to eat there were gaps in the service at times of 15 minutes. Our table was hidden however behind the stairs in the right side of the restaurant which could have affected our service somewhat.. Overall though it was a great night and this experience would not deter me from going again. They could take a few notes however from the one in Atlanta GA USA.
c. c.
Very nice meal... Lots of tasty meat... Good quality salad bar. Wasn't busy but went on a Tuesday and it was perfect. Nice table staff serving and carving the meats. Definately worth a visit.
P. 1.
2nd time of eating there, didn't disappoint. Excellent service. Excellent food. My son got a free cheesecake for his birthday, and was slightly embarrassed when the staff sung "happy Birthday" to him. Highly recommended.
R. M.
Very good meat. The service was great, especially since it was a Sunday. The beef was great. The pork was great. The chicken wings were great. The pork sausages were great. The garlic bread was great. An amazing selection at the salad bar, vegans could even go there. Desert was great as well, an oreo cheesecake!

I came here for my birthday last year and it was one of the best meals out I've had. Fantastic service, great atmosphere as we were sat by the canal side, a varied and delicious selection of food, great cocktails and just a beautiful restaurant. I can't fault it, we liked it so much that I'm going back this weekend with the family to celebrate my birthday again!
A. M.
First of all forget all the negative views on here all the food is fresh tasty and all the staff are excellent nothing was too much trouble all the meat is cooked to perfection and beef and steak very tasty I think value for money and def worth a visit I will be back!!! I highly recommend.
I. C.
Rodizio Rico is an all you can eat buffet restaurant with a Brazilian steak house theme. Meat is brought to your table by waiters and carved straight onto your plate, while you can help yourself to a good selection of salads, bread, pasta and fish.
Saturday nights get very busy and unless booked you can expect to wait an hour. However there is a well stocked bar area where you can wait. Brahma is served on tap as well as other lagers (and ice cold Bass?!?!). There is also a very good wine and cocktail selection.
The quality of the food was excellent. The meat (beef, lamb, chicken and pork) was cooked beautifully and the buffet area was always well stocked with salads and good vegetarian selections.
New diners should take note of the card system. Unless you change your card over to 'stop', the meat keeps coming and you will be full in 10 minutes!!
It was also nice to see lots of families in here. The staff were particularly good with young children, even on a busy Saturday night.
Overall an excellent experience and at roughly £22 a head, good value for money.
C. M.
Food was really tasty, anyone who likes meat needs to try this place! The meats are all cooked perfectly and the service is also great. Only bad things with the restaurant are it's a bit pricey, and we had to wait quite a while for the bill at the end.
P. M.
Visited this amazing restaurant for my partners sons 21st party. There were 20 guests who all were amazed with the food and service. From the moment we arrived the staff could not do enough to make our visit memorable. My partner has serious food issues regarding spices and greens. After talking to the staff they bent over backwards to make sure all her needs were met. The quality of the food is outstanding from both the salad bar and the meats. Well done to all shall see you soon
T. B.
Fast service despite no reservation on a very busy Friday night. Main meal was excellent desert was OK but definitely scope for improvement. Decor was good and the place had a good buzz about it.
All the staff we dealt with were friendly helpful, they were obviously enjoying there work and that really came through in the service they delivered.
D. R.
We choose to have a group gathering at this restaurant last Sunday! Amazing atmosphere, perfect welcoming by the Management has always since we started visiting the location. Our table host an very attentive sir and bubbly, gave us a slice of cake for the luckiest girl in our table to celebrate her birthday. Suber food!!! We wish you many success! Thanks and see you soon...

Just not enough cold selections.. especially for children. Seems they only focus on Just the meat where as kids love different varieties of different choices. Meat lovers 100%. Buffet not really up to my liking. Great relaxed atmosphere.
M. P.
Oh man this place was brilliant. I ate so much and couldn't stop, that's how good the food was. Just when I thought I was out for the count another wave of food came and I agreed for more. Food was cooked perfectly and not over done. Full of flavour and staff were brilliant at bringing something that hadn't come past for a bit. Great atmosphere and service
A. S.
Excellent experience, and very well priced for the amount and variety of food.

Great place if you enjoy your 🥩 meat.
The actual meal not too bad price wise.
LEAVE the green disc on your table they constantly bring different types of meat and calve at the table as much as u want.
Meat seems good quality. They will return after.
If u need a breather or break display red disc.
Once u are ready for more turn it to green again😮.
There's a salad bar again as much as u want this is self service.
Only thing that let this place down was extortionate prices on 🍻 drinks and pudding 🍰 or sweets if u had enough room left🤣
G.
Incredible tasting food - both the meats and salad bar were exceptional! To those who argue it is not great value, if you dont have the appetite then thats your problem. For those of us that can eat our fair fill, this is a fantastic deal and great restaurant. Very impressed!
Q. G.
The service is fast and friendly and the food is excellent do not eat breakfast if ypu want to go here stay hungry because there is loads to eat and if you have had breakfast you will miss out
S.
There is plenty of food and the staff are polite. The difference with this restaurant is that they bring the meat around to you non-stop until you flip a card over from green to red. It's a brilliant idea!

Just love this place. Food is fabulous. Even a vegetarian in our group was happy. Don't eat too many sides if you want to get your monies worth of meat! Good drinks and friendly attentive staff too.
W. R.
A traffic light, style, all you can eat meat feast. It also has a separate little buffet for salads and stuff. There is a variety of all different types and cuts of meat. From the average to the more perculiar, like chicken hearts and stuff like that. The place was packed when we went, but the service did feel extremely poor and slow and you always get that you were waiting for a person to come with a meat skewer
C. W.
Been here a few times. Meat is nice and the buffet is ok. I recommend going for dinner rather than lunch because they have a better selection of meats.
M. N.
High price but worthy as you have a great delicious varieties of dishes here. BBQ is extremely delicious and fresh. Staff are absolutely lovely and polite. However advance booking for weekend is highly recommended or you should come before 6:30 (if unable to book in advance) to guarantee a table
l. w.
Great food. Went early to beat the rush but because it was quiet, Servers were thin on the ground with the meat. Would recommend you try to go at busier time, while the servers have more people to go round the meat keeps flowing.
V. B.
Lovely atmosphere, the food and experience is amazing.
J. M.
I have eaten here twice. The first time was fairly quiet and I had to wait a while for the meat to come round. The second time was far better and the restaurant was a lot busier. Just in case you didn't know they use like a stop go system for food. You go up and help yourself to things like salad then wait for a meat to come round the table where they carve fresh meat from the skewer or similar. It's really original and my sort of place.
A. T.
Staff aren't attentive so we were most of the time hungry even though we still had the green tab up.... selection of meats are limited but cooked near to perfection. decor and atmosphere were spot on as well as the cocktails
a. h.
I always have a good experience at Rodizio. Great staff, good ambiance, wonderful view and very tasty food, the steak keeps coming, different parts of it until you can't have it anymore. Price is good too.
C. K.
Update: Just visited again (Friday Night). Great food and more meat than I could eat. Staff were great and service was great. Buffet was really well stocked and drinks were quick. Now gone from 4 to 5*. Great views across the canals too.
What a great place to eat. Located in the base of the Cube building just outside the Mailbox. This was one of the most interesting meals ive ever been out for. Basically you help your self to the buffet, pick salad, pasta potato etc. Then all night until you say stop they bring you various meats to eat that they calve onto your plate. This is a Meat Eaters paradise. NOT FOR VEGETARIANS, it would be wasted on you. But its amazing. Prices are around £25 a head but is really nice. I insist you must go.
C. W.
Food is excellent. However service was very poor when we went. Drinks waiters spoke not very good English. Poor service for drinks waiters had kept forgetting are drinks sometimes 30 mins at a time wait for one drink then they would forget the other. Food were we sat didn't really reach us by the time it got to us it was either gone or the stuff that no one had wanted. Then there was the bill asked a lady twice for the bill she said she would go get it. She then cleaned a table instead and disappeared I asked a Male waiter I think quite high up for the bill. Same response so I addressed them and said we need it now as I asked 30 minutes ago and still nothing he walked off with attitude and rolled his eyes. Again food is good when you get it but I feel the floor staff needs to he sorted.
J. M.
Food was AMAZING. The options in the salad bar were varied, and tasty of course. The meat selection were truly mouth-watering. The meat was perfectly cooked and tasted heavenly.
A. K.
Good food, prices are ok, annoying that you can't just pay for the salad bar (both my friend and I go and all we want is the salad bar - which is excellent and delicious might I add - but we have to pay the full price of the veggie grill despite not having it, still, we keep going back). Decor and view are wonderful!
D. T.
Enjoyed the food in this restaurant, but on the evening we visited there were not sufficient staff working. This meant that we were frequently left with entirely empty plates and no waiter in sight with any more meat (also worth noting that 1 in 4 offers was for garlic bread on a skewer rather than meat). We did enjoy it, but have been to far better elsewhere. (The inclusion of an automatic generous tip was also a surprise to say the least)
P. P.
One of my favorite restaurants in Birmingham city Centre, Based in the cube.
The food quality is up to standards. The prices are little high but acceptable with respect to the quality. The ambience is cheerful.
Both hot and cold buffet bar are delicious.
M. T.
Great trendy feel to the place with views out across the canal side. There's a great selection of unlimited salad bar, all of it tastes great! But don't fill up too much in it as the meat is the star of the show. Friendly waiters come to the table with freshly barbecued cuts if meat, steaks, lamb, chicken, pork and carve it to your plate. There's a red/green card for stop/go sercice so you can pace yourself. The price is excellent considering the amount of food and quality in offer. I had 4 different types of steak (beef), leg of lamb, chicken thighs, gammon and sausages, all cooked to perfection. The house red was extremely drinkable and not too expensive either.
I took a party of 7 and everyone from the mother in law to my 3yr old ate well. Under 5s eat free too.
M. M.
Came in for a quick meal, we were not to hungry and had to rush to get to London! ALEX (the manager)was 😉 the best customer service to date. We were not too sure if we could have food and drink within an hour. He offered us nibbles (more like a meal, I’m stuffed) and all with a smile. What great customer service is all about.
S. K.
Heard this place was good. And it sure was. Came along with a few of my friends, we asked what we should try and it was mouth watering. Food was all fantastic with the customer experience being just as good as the food. Well done guys.
S. M.
Came for a dinner with a colleague and family and was stunned by the experiences I had in one evening. Very friendly staff seated us to our table. Directly us to a salad counter. And believe me the salad counter itself qualifies to be a lavishly spread buffet and is more than enough even without the meat. And then the meat 😋. It was just amazing. First came the Pam chops and I was cleaned bowled with just that. The best lamb chops I have had in a very long time. The beef and chicken is also to die for. Am coming again here soon...maybe too soon😉
T.
Beautiful restaurant with good service right by the canal. We got served a variety of different cuts of meat & there was a self serve help yourself buffet type thing for your sides. Would recommend for people who want to go out and try something different
R. B.
Great salad bar to add to the amazing selection of meats. It all just keeps coming. Not cheap nor fine dining but good overall value if you have a large appetite.
Q. D.
Wasn't sure about the concept of this place but Omg it's the best! You just grab yourself some salad bits from the well stocked salad bar and they come over and serve you freshly cooked meats. I could have stayed here all day! Food was delicious and varied. Staff seemed very relaxed and friendly.
L. W.
The food, both the meat and salad bar is DELICIOUS. The servers try their best but they needed more hands because it was busy. This means it was 30 minutes before we saw some of the best meats again!
L. Y.
Absolutely amazing! Food was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Staff were very attentive and polite. Great family meal out with drinks and dessert we paid roughly £35 per head and stayed for nearly four hours. We will be going back and we highly recommend this restaurant!
S. B.
Great night and food here every time, I was a little worried how the the night would go with the latest covid restrictions but I had nothing to worry about, all the staff were excellent keeping a lovely variety of food coming to the table throughout the night.
P. R.
Love this place excellent food and service. Pretty much all you can eat.
J. G.
Nice place to go in Birmingham.. Have been there several times and always will get back again with guests/customers/friends. Very close to genuine Brazilian churraria with friendly and helpful staff. Worth to visit and enjoy the fresh salad bar and selection of grilled meats.
A. P.
The food is amazing!!! Is a good place for nice dinner or lunch
S. A.
Great food. Meat lovers dream! Been several times and the service is normally great. This time it took ages to be seated even with a reservation and 20 mins for a waiter for drinks. It was a Sunday at 4pm. Overall a good experience
M. B.
Fantastic place. Meat options very good (as often the case with these type of restaurants) but garlic bread was a tasty addition. Salad/buffet options are better than similar restaurants of this type, with lots of choice. Service also very good. Can't fault this place. Will return 😍
L. C.
I expected more, don't get me wrong it's a good place, and the location is great. But the actual selection of meats didn't blow me away. Buffet selection at start is very good, lots of options, and they really do bring you out as much meat as you can eat and whilst most of it is lovely and tender there was the odd bit of boot leather.
I think I expected a bit more variety too and maybe spice, it was by and large just different cuts of roasted meat, so once you've had a few you've had them all. This could have just been my experience due to being part of a large party, so if you're at the far end of the table, not everything makes its way down to you. Staff not overly friendly or helpful, but not 'bad' either. Worth going to, but not sure I'll return.
P. B.
Great food. Great staff. Good price. If you like all you can eat meat this is the place to go. Upstairs overlooking the canal and facing the back of the Mailbox.
Fresh cooked meat brought to your table until you've had enough.
R. O.
Great experience. Unlimited food within your two hour time slot. Wide variety of cooked cuts of meat from the bbq, all carved from the skewer at your table. Staff frequently arrive to keep your plate topped up. The salad bar is fantastic. All authentic brazillian dishes. Well worth the money.
N. M.
Outstanding. DO NOT EAT on day of visit - you'll need every inch of stomach space! The buffet side bar alone is delicious. Absolutely worth a visit. Even our young kids loved it.
M. M.
The restaurant isn't too bad, not too expensive, but it could improve some aspects, the two experiences I had were a little disappointing, the last time we stayed about 10 minutes and no one came with any meat (this happened a few times during the dinner), and when someone came, he had already passed several tables and the meat was cold.
Little variety of meat, they offered me so much chicken and pork, that I suspected I wasn't in a Brazilian steakhouse.
N. S.
Will def eat here again. Nice staff, the food was excellent with a lot a variety. i did ask for a window seat with the family which i think they could have done but didn't.. I know next time to make sure we ask before we go.
E. E.
I've visited this restaurant several times. (Once in their restaurant in Nottingham.) I visited during lunch time on a weekday. The location is great. The view of the canal is great, if you take a window seat. It's a lovely place to take good time enjoying good food with good company. The service is excellent. I would highly recommend it.
J. R.
If you like meat, this is the place to go. Perfectly cooked and seasoned meats served to your table in abundance. Great "salad bar" with everything including rice, potatoes and even lasagne! The sirloin steak and lamb chop are to die for!
S. R.
Amazing different types of meat , great quality . Customer service was great , waiters regularly came around and ensured we were being attended to. I loved the different variety of meats and flavours on offer 👍
C. G.
Excellent food, friendly staff. It is a good representation of the experience in Brazil; only downside is that the cost here is somewhat more than in South America!!! A nice treat for lovers of meat! Visit...but don’t have breakfast on the day of your visit...or the day after!!
Z. E.
Although I come here frequently, I can't help but feel the food is hit and miss. Some visits are so good I can't get enough and others are so bad I can't wait to leave. I think the bad occasions are days when the meats taste tough, bland and not fresh enough. Salad bar is really good, atmosphere is always nice and staff are very courteous. Mocktails need major improvement though, my pina colada's always taste as weak as my will power on a treadmill.
v. m.
Absolutely fantastic place to eat and enjoy the views. The service was brilliant.
D. P.
A meat fest and rushed done a couple of times now not my fav
A. E.
I had a really good time, very good food, very kind staff, wonderful view, I recommend it to everyone 😊
d. o.
The animals used for the meal went to school...cause the way they were so tasty...😋.
Also it's best you come to this restaurant on an empty stomach
N. —.
Brilliant food and great service.
C. G.
It was my first visit and I loved it. The atmosphere was just right, the service was excellent and unobtrusive. The meat selection was superb, well cooked, seasoned and hot. Will definitely be going back.
Z. U.
I booked a table for my birthday for the past of the restaurant which is pizza and pasta buffet. The food was excellent! All three of us were very impressed with the taste. The food kept coming one after another straight away, very filling. The staff were extremely friendly and professional, would definitely go back again.
R.
Lovely food, nice setting, Staff were very attentive. Drinks and food did come at cost but it is a major city so expected.
m. b.
Delicious food,excellent service. A favourite choice for us
C. B.
Been a few times but today wasn't great seemed to just get beef and the same cuts of beef sat for over an hour picked at mains which were tasty but not alot of selection it seemed today! Lady who served was lovely however one "cutter" seemed to ignore us was a shame will probably not make the long journey here again
E. A.
The meats are very good quality. I've only ever been on business with large groups and it's a convenient format for this. While there are nice vegetarian options, I would hesitate tobring vegetarian friends as the attraction really is the barbecued meats.
Y. S. M.
Best experience ever!! Wonderful food - the bbqued meat kept coming, I could not stop eating although full. I could barely walk after that, lol
The staff were amazing, genuinely good people with top of the notch customer service
The view was nice as were as I went at night
Will definitely go there again!!
M. B.
Came by train as it is a short walk from the central stations and I had a disabled friend with me, for that reason we had a reservation to avoid disappointment once he had endured the pain of getting there. It was easy to find with the directions given and we were received and seated quickly with instructions how to self serve at the salad bar and some extra space provided for my disabled friend.
The first delight. The 'salad bar' not only has the best salads selection I have seen for some years but it also has a selection of warm and hot accompaniments including baby potatoes, banana fritters, a delicious beef stew and we nearly loaded our plates so high that we would have no room for the star turn of the evening . . . the skewered meats and breads brought to the table.
The grilled meats were mostly excellent, never less than good. The chicken had been marinaded and was succulent, the lamb was tender and the lamb chops a little dry but not fatty, the pork ribs likewise and the chorizo type sausages were tangy and tasty. The beef was mixed, some juicy and succulent and some a little dry (if it looks dry it may still taste great but ask for it to be carved across and not along the grain of the fibres), the pan griddled beef was no less than wonderful. A novelty was the garlic soaked bread toasted on skewers along with the meats.
And the meats kept coming, and they will keep coming until you ask them to stop! We left it too late and missed out on the sweets which also looked good though we cannot vouch for taste!
The place is light and open with views over the wharves, there were many families and children are not only tolerated but treated well and paid attention to by the young and friendly staff which results in good behaviour. Everything and everywhere was clean and service was attentive including the drinks service which provides a decent wine list and a range of beers along with soft drinks and water. The staff are young, friendly and appear to be enjoying their work.
We would both definitely recommend this restaurant for a pleasant night out and it must be even better on a light and warm summer lunchtime or evening when the open terrace might be enjoyed. It is child, family and disability friendly which is a bonus!
H. W.
Very nice would advise anyone to go and try the food spot on well done
E. W.
One of my favourite places to eat - great selection of salads and side dishes (the cheese bread and cauliflower cheese are ridiculously good) and the meat comes thick and fast! Always delicious, only downside is I never have room for dessert! Haha
L. B.
Was there for a hen doo last night...food was beautiful, the chicken lasnaga was amazing...the staff was very friendly ...5 star
L. S.
If you like your meats and steaks you won't be disappointed, second time I've been, when you go, make sure you save a lot of space. You're served, or given the option of different meats around every 10mins without those serving being intrusive. There's also a salad buffet to eat as much as you want...or I just devoured the meats and convince myself the salad creates more space 😂 go hungry and enjoy
E. Z.
The meats were tasty but they didn't have pineapple with cinnamon or black beans (even though they had pinto beans). The salad buffet was okay. The experience was alright but as someone who has been to many rodizios before it felt a bit lacking of a typical Brazilian one and felt more like a rodizio with English influence.
K. M.
Lovely staff - great location - good atmosphere - however, the all you can eat buffet and skewered meats being walked around to tables was not to our taste - first visit so wasn’t sure what to expect. Felt it is overpriced too. Alberto was very funny and takes great pix and selfies with the diner.
S. H.
Our family of 5 (with 1 fussy eater) went here as we were given £100 voucher from family. Firstly, the restaurant is lovely. Great decor and our table was right by the window looking out at the canal so we could watch the barges go by. The salad bar is fabulous with so many lovely dishes, my plate was full from this buffet bar with salmon omelette being a very tasty starter. My son (with much more simple tastes) had an empty plate as the food was a bit too different for him to try. Then the meat skewers came around. The beef/steaks and lamb may be a bit bloody/undercooked for most people but I love it that way so I found it perfect. I have tasted the very best lamb cutlets here. The beef chunks were unfortunately too chewy and difficult to cut through so we're left on my plate. The sausages were left in the plate and I don't like bones to pick at when I eat out so chicken wings and ribs were declined. My son managed to eat when the chicken and pork came around but not enough to justify the cost. As child price is only up to age 10, this was a bit expensive for the kids to eat here. With the drinks (only 1 each) on top the bill was nearly £140. So it overall the food was okay, the restaurant lovely and the staff helpful. We had a nice evening but I don't think I would go again due to the cost.
D. R.
The food here is pretty good, and if like me you went for the AYCEM option, you certainly won't leave hungry. There's a reasonable selection of sides, but it's not ideal for fussy eaters. It's a nice place, but I'm not sure it represents the best value for money.
m. a.
Lovely food, great service but dissapointingly, to their detriment, they've stopped using the red & green paddles. We had to ask them to keep coming to our tables (there were 18 of us) which made me feel as though "they" had decided that we'd had enough! This has never happened to me before in a Brazilian restaurant, either here or in South America. Such a shame.
A. U.
Cant fault the customer service ,everyone who served us with delicious food was exceptional promoter of the business.
D. W.
I spent an enjoyable evening at the Restaurant last night with a few friends. Great atmosphere, excellent service and food. This is the third time in eighteen months I have eaten here. My only issue was the space afforded around my table, restricting movement. A word of advice for newcomers, take your time and enjoy.
S. G.
Beautiful food, fantastic service couldn't ask for more.
N. M.
Good range of salads not too sure exactly what is fully Brazilian off the salad bar though. If you are vegetarian they bring out 2 plates of vegetables cooked plus the plates are more than generous so you get your moneys worth. Best time to go is lunchtime or before 6pm as the price changes after this time. In a nice location so dress up....
P. S.
Visited Osteria Rodizio Rico. We went with a Groupon voucher. We were made to feel very welcome, with fantastic service and no push to buy anything extra. Good variety in the 4 pastas and roughly 10 pizzas, all brought to the table. The pizzas are good quality, think pizza express rather than pizza hut. Great decor, clean, and the kitchen is visible. I would recommend.
A. H.
Reasonable buffet restaurant with halal options for meat. The quality of the meat isn’t always great and they do offer a lot of pork because it’s cheaper meat which rules some people out. However it’s ok for an evening out. You can’t always get a table at busy times and service is slow at times. Not a Michelin star but decent enough. The place is nicely decorated and located in a picturesque part of the city in the cube overlooking the waterfront. Good salad bar and a reasonable selection of drinks. I would advise booking in advance during busy periods eg Friday/Saturday nights. It can be an expensive night out for what is mass produced buffet food.
H. A.
Enjoyed the meal with friends, salads and starters and sides were the stars. We were served by very helpful staff who knew about the meats. The meat and chicken are halaal. They serve pork too. They have mocktails and selection of wines. If you go for lunch it is cheaper and you get almost everything on the menu. It is a different experience, I have been twice for lunch and dinner and planning to go again. Just love this place. I as lso wish they add fish and seafood to the array of meats. But please check prices b4 going and book your table. If you have Groupon or wowcher you will get a percentage off your bill. Always check with them. Park in the cube building.
M. S.
Not too expensive, large selection of meats and sides. Good venue for a small to medium group. The fact that the meats get Brough up to your table and cut up for you is an extra novelty.
B. O.
Great food and service. Will definitely come back again
A.
I booked here with a groupon and you know what? Its really nice!! Fast flowing service, a good choice of meats to get stuck into and the cauliflower cheese is sooo good!! Strong cocktails. Really enjoyed it 👍
S. B.
Lovely food and service, got a bit annoyed in how many times you get asked if you want more meat carving. Even though we had our mats turn to red... Good atmosphere though, and it was an enjoyable experience. Would recommend a visit...
A. W.
If you don't love meat don't bother! It is a busy fairly loud atmosphere but great fun and the different meats are just epic! Lamb in particular was one of the best.
Z. F.
Went here saturday for my daughters birthday a group of 6. The food was amazing the service was outstanding. A special mention to Veronica & Edwardo and the 2 young ladies at front of house you made my daughters birthday extra special thankyou. 5stars and more for a fantastic night.
p. s.
Fabulous service, timo was amazing and haven't been look after like this before in a restaurant. Food was amazing and it kept on coming throughout. Beer was good too. All staff were pleasant and couldn't do enough for you. Will definately come back again.
D.
I went there to have a lunch with my friends and non of us (9in total) complained about anything. Food was fresh and tasted amazing. I can recommend this place to anyone who likes to leave a restaurant with full stomachs:)
G. W.
A reasonably authentic churrascaria on the canal to the rear of Birmingham's Mailbox. Those who have never experienced a churrascaria before should expect a diverse and tasty salad bar, followed by churrasco style meat, brought to your table and carved in front of you. The majority of the barbecued meat on offer will be beef but you will also see barbecued pork, ham, sausage, chicken hearts and some slow cooked beef options that aren't barbecued in the same way but very tasty.
The meat will keep coming to your table until you've had your fill and service is generally very regular so you're seldom left with an empty plate.
The restaurant has a lovely buzz about it and is set against the Birmingham canals. I'd recommend going along on a Sunday lunchtime for plenty of food and a nice atmosphere.
Price is reasonable considering the general quality of the food on offer but be sure to he comfortable with meat that isn't well done.
H. B.
Great location, great food and great entertainment.
K. S.
Have been there at least 5 times, food is absolutely perfect, both quality and choice, service is always great, staff act like they actually care. In addition, quite a few tables are near the windows with lovely view of the canal.
S. R.
Wow! What a fantastic place to dine. My first time and I will definitely be returning. Staff are extremely attentive and the food is excellent. I highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.
T. R.
Fantastic as usual. If you get in earlier (before 7pm/when not busy) the meats come around quicker. The buffet is excellent, and includes all sorts of salads, dishes such as lasagne, beef strogenof, fish bites, bread rolls and cheese. Meats offered around included: Lamb (side, chop), Beef (side, sirloin, ribs), Pork (sausage, side), and Chicken.
d. r.
One of my favorite place in Birmingham city centre. you can just eateverything you want. also,the good thing is service, they have good and well trained staff with smile and polite.
good price not expensive for a all you can eat place.Will always come
N. B.
amazing food, great service, fresh food, value for money, make sure you are absolutely hungry before you go so you can take full advantage of this experience 😊
J. N.
Fantastic service from the attentive (and funny!) staff. Paid wirh an app called Zapper (QR code on the bill) and it gave us a £5 discount on the already reasonable price too. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the really herby lamb chops. We'll definitely be coming again. Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend!
H. B.
Lovely Food, service was excellent with waiters bringing the meats to you and a wide choice of salad, curries to choose from on the buffet.
R. O.
Fantastic. Great service, wonderful food and surroundings.
L. M.
Food was amazing paired with a very interesting experience!
J. K.
The food is fantastic! It’s hard when they’re busy to get a drink though during peak times but the staff work tirelessly to please. I had my birthday there and they made the event even more special by adding a Brazilian specialty that wasn’t on the menu. Overall I had an amazing time there and will be back!
S. A.
We visit this restaurant every so often and we like it but recently the meat seems to be quite salty do I'd give it a 3.5. Other then that the food has always been good so not sure if it was just a one off. Will see in next time I go.
C.
Food amazing but best not to go on the evening times you get nuff flies by the windows that wanna take a munch on ya grub and go for a swim in your drinks 🤦🏾♀️
P. D.
Excellent food and venue
Y. L.
Used your restaurant three times now, always impressed with the quality of the food.
Slightly more expensive than I would anticipate but I keep coming back.
I think on weekdays you should offer a promotion on drinks?
M. C.
Nice place, excellent service. Food is inconsistent though - some of the meats are extremely tasty but some are average at best. Add in the not exactly cheap price for a visit and it all makes for an experience that's worth trying once, but probably not again in a hurry.
J. P.
10/10 food but not sure if it was halal or haraam
t. L.
had a good meal here the food was good, only lost a star as the service wasn't great took ages to order a drink and the rate at which meat was offered was a little sporadic. i will give them another go and would defiantly eat there again.
I. M.
If you like meat, this is the place to go. Perfectly cooked and seasoned meats served to your table in abundance. Great "salad bar" with everything including rice, potatoes and even lasagne! The sirloin steak and lamb chop are to die for!

This's not the first time that we been there and everytime is fantastic...the service, food, atmosphere everything...there's nothing negative to say...special thanks to Francesca and there was another boy I don't know his name😥 sorry about that, he was super attentive, we had some special request and he make sure that we can get them ASAP and he also came to inform us about the delay and even about how long is gonna take, you guys are awesome. The floor manager is fantastic, Congratulation and a big Good Luck for her future, hope she find joy and happiness...had a wonderful evening...Thank you guys (don't loose them...keep them tight 😁)
C. W.
Great food, great atmosphere and the staff were excellent it was definitely value for money. If you get the chance to visit you won't be disappointed.
M. V.
Bartender (?manager) was excellent! Four stars is because more explanation needed to happen once we were at the table. Server Bruk helped to ensure we got every type of meat possible.
J. K.
A meat eater's dream. Just keep your card green side up and they will keep bringing you meat. Turn it red when you are done. I'm veggie but still found there was plenty to eat. Just remember to save some space on your plate after visting the buffet.
A. R.
Went on a sunday 1.5 hr before they shut.booked Halal and they then proceeded to bring us gammon???? They rushed us and shut the salad bar v early too which made us feel a little uncomfortable and we left well befor closing time but they had already started putting chairs on tables! And the service charge is rediculous.i wont be returning.shame staff are v smiley and helpful though.
s. f.
I lived on top of Rodizio Rico for 4 years. It was my go to restaurant in Birmingham. High quality meat, long and nice wine list. Do not exaggerate with the all you can eat buffet!!
D. M.
Great food friendly staff
S. M.
Really nice food and the view is a treat for the eye. I suggest that you anticipate the flavour you intend to go for as the pace of the service is fast. Would recommend to any couple looking for an exciting time.
C. L.
Love this restaurant. Amazing meats carved directly onto your plate. Been a few times now and have never been disappointed. Would definitely recommend to any meat lovers!!
M. K.
If you like your meat, then this place will take some beating. All your veg etc is get up and get it yourself, but the meat is brought to your table. Your gavin a card, red one side, green the other. You want meat then show the green side up and it will keep flowing. When you want it to stop (and you will lol) show the red side up.
Meat is freshly cooked, bang on 👌🏼
C. “. G.
Our new favourite restaurant!!! Great service, great atmosphere, food was spectacular (have the garlic beef 😍) . Overall amazing experience, worth every penny! x
D. M.
Loved the place ! Friendly and great staff.
F. M.
Went on a Groupon voucher and no problem with it also brought my son along and paid for him there, food was great help yourself buffet of salad and spuds and other assortment then full on meat paradise as much as you want even had chicken hearts which I would never normally have,waiter took shine to my son as he had a daughter same age wouldn't stop serving him meat which he wasn't complaining about really nice setting over looking canal on balcony will be going again although I think be quite expensive without voucher but worth it !

Great atmosphere, good beer and very friendly staff. Authentic Brazilian vibe too - abit on the expensive side but it is worth it considering what you get - would recommend !

A meat lover's paradise. Salad bar available too. Good variety of drinks...beers, cocktails etc.
They have some of the meats available in halal form too (if you are or have Muslim friends).
The clientele are usually quite well dressed, so even if such things are not an issue for you.... it's at least worth bearing in mind.
Service is usually excellent...even at busy times, but the serving staff are not too well acquainted with coffee and related condiments. On more than one occasion, I've requested demerara or muscovado sugar, and had blank looks, only to be given some brown sugar packets, later on. Also a similar thing has happened with cream before. Many serving staff don't realise they have cream, yet (obviously) they do have cream.
Overall, a very enjoyable evening with friends.

Absolutely phenomenal food, and excellent service. The only place to visit in Birmingham if you're a true meat lover!

Meat lovers paradise - the food here is by far the best around and the fact they carve it in front of you at the table is a pretty cool and a unique idea. I've been here with friends, family and on date night with my partner it's a n all round winner for me

Was looking around the mailbox and cube and decided to go here. It's a great idea for meat lovers. There was plenty to choose from including beef (all types of steak) pork and chicken.
The steaks were cooked mostly to rare / medium at best so please take this into consideration if you like yours charcoaled
There was a nice selection of accomplishments including green salad, rice, pasta, salmon, potates etc which you just helped yourself too.
You get a card which on one side says GO which indicates to the staff you are still eating and will want more. Once you have had enough you turn the card over to STOP. Simple but effective.
For the money it's very good and I would recommend it. Also there was a 10% discretionary service charge on the bill but I didn't mind paying this as the staff work hard and would happily put more meat if you wanted. Just hope this 10% goes to the staff (should of asked really and if not left a cash tip for them)

Wow first time we have been and we will be back . Food was hot so fresh and very abundant. The staff where very friendly and helpful. Can't believe I haven't been here sooner

Food is always fantastic here! Lots of choice and very fresh! And the £21 Groupon is a bargain for all you can eat with a free cocktail!

Not amazing bit very good. The variety on the salad bar was quite good but there was nothing there that really blew my mind. For instance,they didn't have the 'pao de queijo ' which is a brazilian traditional cheese balls. The meat selection was good,but again not amazing. Some of the cuts were a bit dry. The ' picanha' (rump steak on the big skewer) cuts were really good but the rest just standard. They did have chicken hearts,which is also a tradition,but tgat only comes by request as not many people like it. I love it and they were really well cooked. Staff was friendly and very cordial. However they do charge a 10 % service charge. I have been to other churrascarias in this country and got to say this one is not on eof my favourites,but still very good.

The meat was cooked perfectly.
Very friendly staff.
All you can eat
There is more than just meat on offer(i really liked the fried banana)
Apparently they do a vegetarian option but that seems odd for a place which is knows as a meat resaurant?

Ok its a little expensive but the staff are friendly and the food is top notch...

Food is not great for the price you pay. The meat is tough and dry. We paid £65 for 2 people and 2 drinks. There is even service charge!

Had a wonderful Birthday meal at Rodizio Rico last night with my family. Food was excellent and service was fantastic. So much to choose from and something for everyone! Thank you for a lovely evening! x
K. R.
Really good food. No rushing you out. Thoroughly enjoyable. Im unable to eat dairy or chick peas and this usually leaves me very limited food on a buffet but there was plenty for me to choose from

Nice place. They dont know what an irish coffee is though...

If you really really love meat and think you are a champion at eating meat then, this is the best spot for you. Remember to keep your card turn up on the green part to keep the meat flying in. Lol. Enjoy.

Interesting concept along the lines of the carnivore restaurant in Nairobi! Venue very smart and modern. A little over priced, but I guess it depends how much you eat!
E. G.
Beautiful place, the food is great buffet style, you keep getting free pieces of meat and chicken for as long as you're seated and have a sign showing you're interested.
D. B.
Nice atmosphere, nice starters and the selection of meats were delicious. Would definitely recommend. The staff were really friendly too!

Great place, very good meat and nice buffet, i advice to fasten for a few hours before getting there 😉! Good service and the caipirinha is as good as in Brasil. I would have like a little bit more of music and brazilian ambiant but it didn’t stop us from having a great time there.
E. J. D.
Good if you have a large appetite otherwise it works out too expensive. Wine by the glass is very overpriced. Very nice staff.
