Rios Brazilian Steakhouse is located in the center of Nazareth, PA.  Everytime you go by the restaurant it smells sooooo good.  This weekend, my husband and I decided to finally try it.

Here is our experience:

When we were seated at a table, the waiter took our drink order.  (All the employees happen to be Brazilian.)  I ordered a "Brazilian Lover".  I'm game for trying anything once.  We were then informed how you were served. 

You served yourself at the salad bar.  It had a huge assortment, hot and cold.  There were a variety of salads (green, beet salad, Brazilian potato, etc.) along with rice, baked Ziti, chicken lasagna, etc.  I sampled a little bit of the foods I have never had before.

Once you are seated after the salad bar, waiters come around to each table, with assorted meats on skewers.  It consisted of lamb, chicken, turkey, pork, sausage and steak.  All are barbequed on the charcoal grill, which you see when entering the restaurant.  I sampled a piece of each.  It was absolutely delicious.  We were also served garlic bread.  That was my favorite.  (I love garlic.)

You can have any or all of the meats offered.  The waiters just keep coming around until you tell them to stop.  It's an all you can eat place.  I must tell you, after sampling the different foods, we were stuffed.  We  had no room for a second round. 

We did mange to squeeze in dessert.  It was pineapple grilled with sugar and cinnamon on it.  Very tasty.  How could I say no to that?

It was a different experience but the food was good and filling.

When you go here, make sure you bring a huge appetite.
