Anyone who knows me well is aware of the fact that I can be a rather picky eater. I am not a fan of salads, and not the craziest about certain vegetables. On the other hand, I am a huge fan of steak, chicken, pork, and just about any other meat out there.
I think that is one of the reasons I love Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse in Myrtle Beach, SC. I have eaten there on several occasions and absolutely love it! My wife and I decided to visit Rioz yesterday for lunch and take advantage of their winter special. During the months of January & February, they are offering half price on their feast on Sundays.
When I say feast, I am by no means exagerrating. For those who have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, let me explain how the meal is served. You start out by enjoying the very extravagant hot/cold salad bar that features everything from fresh sushi, shrimp cocktail, & fresh mozzarella to Black Beans & Rice.
Once you finish with the salad bar you then let your Gauchos know you are ready for the main course by flipping over your card to show you are now ready for the meats to start coming. Also, you are served at this time fresh mashed potatoes, cheese bread, fried bananas, and polenta. Gauchos will then stop by your tables offering you fresh hot cuts of all types of meats that they carry on long spears. They have everything from filet mignon to Parmesan encrusted pork and more. You can see the full list of the 17 different types of meats available here. The meats will keep coming until you say stop.
While there are many delicious desserts available including my favorite creme brule, we so full yesterday, that we just finished with a nice piece of fresh toasted pineapple. The meal for two of us was just under $40.00. I believe it was an exceptional value. The service was phenomenal as well. The General Manager who was extremely busy yesterday even found time to stop by our table, ask how everything was and even took time to comment about how cute our daughter is. I guess that explains why there was a 2 hour wait yesterday for Sunday Lunch! However, if you ask either myself or my wife, the wait was well worth it.

Jer - Yummy. I lived in Brazil for 6 months and loved it! Wish we had one of these around here. ~Rita
Brazilian you say? I've yet to try that......but sounds exotic!
We have the Brazilians here on the Cape, but they have not opened a steak house yet.
Rita, when you come and visit me we will go!
Liz- it is awesome!
Heath- the place rocks! Hopefully one will come soon!

Creme Brulee.......also my favorite dessert.......great localism post and more importantly you had a good time....
Steak and creme brulee - now we are talking food. But I would need a good salad to start and vegies with my meal.
Yum, I will have to try this the next time I am down in SC.
We have two similar restaurants- Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil. They are both a lot like you described. It has been a while because I haven't heard of any specials. You are very lucky.
I have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, but this one sounds like a treat. How nice the manager came by. Glad you and your wife had a "feast" on Sunday.
Jeremy Rioz sounds like a great place. I am a big fan of steak so I know it would work for me.
Jer,
I love this style of restaurant, they offer a huge selection of food and the meats are always awesome.
Next time I'm in Myrtle Beach we'll be going -- especially after Management took the time to thank you for your positive experience.
Jeremy I know you are doing your part to keep our economy rolling. I am doing my best down here. Take care.
