Naomi says: I had the feijoada since it was the first thing I saw that was Gluten Free and it was spectacular! I wouldn't mind eating it again. When I was in the servers were also the cooks, I am not sure if that's how it is all the time or not, but that could be why some of you had poor service. I thought that part was fun. It's the cooks who know what's in the food after all! (Fri, 2012-04-06 12:51)
Janet and Sean says: Typical strip mall joint. I agree with the previous poster about the need to lower their prices. Not a family type place. Another poster has already mentioned the slow service. There are better options in town. (Thu, 2012-03-01 21:28)
Adam says: Very good food. Service can be a little slow sometimes even when only a couple people in the place, but always very friendly. Prices are reasonable. I do wish they had more dinner choices under 15 dollars, but the ones they do have are fantastic. Recommended to anyone who wants a quiet little hole in wall place. (Wed, 2012-02-29 18:22)
Michael says: Over priced, small servings. I don't recommend this place. (Sun, 2012-02-26 19:21)
Jeff says: WOW!!! I cant believe the restaurant I have just found, the food was exceptional, without a doubt the best restaurant I have ever been to! The Rio Pave was so smooth, and delicious, the Churrasco had 3 diffeent types of meat, all tender and tasty. I went with my girlfriend, the atmosphere was perfect, we had good covorsation the whole time, and the service was spectacular. I always had a full beverage, (and I drink alot) the server wasn't bothersome like in some places. I definetely recommend RIO GRILL to everyone, please go and see for yourself :) (Wed, 2012-02-08 14:29)
Jenny says: I have been there a couple times and everytime I go, I get something different and surprisingly, the food is always good. The Steak Wraps and "Muqueca" are my favorites! Plus, the Acai bowl came with honey, strawberries, banana and granola... it just wow me! Nice ambient also. (Thu, 2012-02-02 17:23)
Biff says: Fantastic place, have been there for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is well priced, our young son had a big pancake and 2 strips of bacon for $2 total! The feijoada was delicious as was the peshe. Will be back. (Mon, 2011-11-28 17:12)
Eve W says: The Feijoada was delicious and the price soooo reasonable. The dessert - Strawberries on a Cloud was one of the best desserts i have ever had at any restaurant - even the fancy Minneapolis ones! I have been craving another, ever since! I'd suggest they lower the lights, get some candles, adde Brazilian music for better ambiance. (Tue, 2011-11-15 13:40)

Sara P says: Awesome food! We all had burgers and they were great! Can't wait to go back and try breakfast! Very friendly staff , and I too love what they have done to the place. (Tue, 2011-11-08 18:49)
Amy E says: I really like what they did with the place... more open, feels more spacious. Great food too! You really must try fried bananas and one of the smoothies. I'm going to try a steak next time. I suspect they are just as good as the chicken I had this time. (Sat, 2011-11-05 16:49)
Adalberto says: Just got back from a lunch meeting there and WOW! Thank goodness St. Cloud expands in great flavor, atmosphere and awesome new tastes! They were busy, and even though we waited for a little to get the food, it was totally worth it at the end. Great service and for sure will go back and recommend. (Thu, 2011-11-03 14:53)
Robert Osborne says: Nice little restaurant. Open kitchen, Grill right out front. Pleasant atmosphere. Whatever the sauce is that comes with the meal, it's great! Really enjoyed the meal. Service was satisfactory, (newly opened, so once they find their groove, I think service will get a better edge. Highly recommend this place. (Tue, 2011-11-01 19:39)
Tina says: The atmosphere is bright, welcoming and the food was awesome. Would definitely recommend! (Mon, 2011-10-31 08:42)
