This is really a place at nice location but with lousy food. Only flavor I got from BBQ is salt, no other taste. The meat is not jucy but dry and hard to chew. Choices at salad bar is limited. The whole price is crazy high. read more

Save your Money and don't go there. This place used to be my favourite restaurant. over the last few years it has gone downhill service is shocking and food is disgusting. you can tell by how quite it is on a Friday night that other customers voting with their feet just like how I would never return there again. if you like raw meat then this is the place for you. This place needs new management, new chef and new start if it wishes to have return customers. I've given 1 star as there was no way of giving a zero or negative score. read more

Comparable to Fogo de Chao in NYC but with better service. Great quality and variety was perfect. Highly recommend this location! read more

All the meat! This place is a carnivores dream. Upon arrival you are shown to a table and asked if you want the all you can eat option.....I would recommend not eating for a day or a few days before and doing this place justice....it's a serious amount of food on offer!! You have a small paper disc on your table...keep the green side up and the meat keeps coming to accompany the many salad options. Turn it to red and the meat stops ....it really is as simple as that! You get options to have lamb, chicken, beef, pork and for the more adventurous hearts! Obviously I tried one....and would again it wasn't so bad!! If you are looking for a big all you can eat feast of the highest quality this is the place for you! read more

The environment is very nice and has an upscale feel. The salad bar that has much more than salad is really nice and has good selections and the food quality is good. I guess there are several reasons for three stars instead of four: (1) The main thing people come for is the meat and it was average tasting. Brazilian ad well as American BBQ I have had at other restaurants was better. (2) The atmosphere although physically is very nice is chaotic due to constant activity of the customers heading to the salad bar and the servers bringing the meat. Its hard to relax. (3) There is a forced 10 percent service charge ie tip. I am American and used to tipping, but the idea is better service, more tip. Poorer service, less tip. And in Europe, tipping is less popular, so curious why the service charge is added. Its worth a try, and I would rate 3.5ish. In summary, I like the decor, it feels modern and higher quality, the salad bar is good, the meat is average but remember there is a 10 % service charge. read more

I think that this is what I'd call a novelty restaurant. The idea is a bit of fun, but somehow feels not quite right when you have finished. So, our first visit on Sunday and booked for 16:00. No one to greet us, but there was a huge party near the bar. I got the attention of one of the waiting staff who found the person to look up our booking and take us to our table. The help yourself buffet was plentiful and varied. The danger is that you fill up on this too early. You can read about the process on their site without me going into detail. There was an early attempt to offer meat, but this was declined as our plates were full from the buffet. Chicken wings brought to the table first things we had, and these were very tasty, but bit too much salt, for my liking, but still good. Salt did seems to be in high presence with the meats we tried. The next was beef.... It was so tough I couldn't chew. A rump beef was brought to the table, again not the easiest to chew. A chicken breast, which succulent. Lamb chops, tender and succulent. Something else was brought, and the table disagreed whether it was beef or lamb... My wife really struggle eating the meat, especially rare beef, she likes things well done. We only went to the buffet are the once. It was only later that having had the sweets that we realised other tables were getting ham, and we never saw the sausage option. I felt quite stuffed though. I think you need to be more selective with the meats, and if we go again, then perhaps more aware. An automatic 10% service charge is applied to the bill. I don't like this practice, but my wife was paying so up to her really. I like to leave cash, and hope it goes into the waiter's pocket. As I didn't check the bill further, it was only when we got home that we realised that they hacn't charged for the sweets. These are £5 each. So the bill was as follows: 3 x Sunday BBQ - £65.70 1 x Sunday Child BBQ - £11.90 1 Pinot Grigio Guillia - £28.00 (I thought a tad expensive) 3 x Coke - £9.90 (Again, a bit expensive) Total £115.50 Service Charge 10% - £11.55 Final Total - £127.05 I presume the drinks are expensive to cover the business rates for where they are.... I found all of the staff to be very helpful and cheerful. It wouldn't be my first choice to visit again, but it is a different experience. read more

This upmarket buffet style restaurant is amazing for hardcore meat eaters and for £25 a head that isn't bad going. The decor is beautiful and situated in the cube building overlooking the canals. The quality of the meats are amazing and taste fantastic. The buffet cart in the middle of the restaurant offers other meals, salads, cheeses, bread and condiment's. Also its great for vegetarians at £18 a head you get to help yourself to items on the cart and a waiter will bring you a specially prepared halumomi, pepper,onion and pineapple BBQ skewer. And also grilled cheese tomato's. Unlimited! Also the cocktails are a must have addition.. I can't fault anything here I've eaten here with a lot of different groups of friends over the years and every time I've come back loving it more and more. If you do have room left for desert definaitly go for it as they look delicious but very heavy after such a big meal. Having said that j can't wait to return again. read more

Rodizio Rico - Green card means serve me more meat.. Red means stop. - Brazilian Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

It was pretty good, however, as for Brazilian place it's too "continental" they have some things that you would hardly imagine to find in a churrascaría in Brazil (e.g. grilled cured ham), and did not have a few things that I actually very expected (e.g. blood sausages). Same is applicable not only to meats but to the salad bar/buffet as well. The drink selection was pretty "continental" as well. E.g. cachaça selection was extremely boring. And they make caipirinha with purified sugar, that is just wrong. It's rather fusion food in a place that operates in a Brazilian style. However, please do not get me wrong, if you have never been in Brazil you are very likely to enjoy the experience. This is more just to set right expectations for people who know what Brazilian experience should really be, so that they would not get disappointed. read more

Anywhere that gives unlimited meat is a five star from me!!! I've been wanting to try this place out and after doing some shopping and working up a hunger we decided it was the right time to go. We were seated straight away and we're given a little disc. Green side up means keep that meat coming. When you've had your fill turn it to red and your fun is over. Not only is this place perfect for the meat the sides and salads are also perfect. Not one thing was wrong with this meal. Staff were delightful and the place is decorated beautifully. I recommend this to anyone that loves all of the meat! You deffinately get your monies worth!! read more

Having heard so many people talking about this steak place with red & green cards in the cube, I was intrigued to find out if it was all hype or if I was indeed missing out? I'm happy to say the quality of the food certainly matched up to the hype! @£25 per person I don't think it's bad value for what you can have; the salad/side dishes buffet cart was a little limited on our visit but when you add that to the star attraction of 'the meats' there was plenty to choose from and more than enough to fill you to burst (remember to turn the card things!) -You would probably pay more for a starter & main course at some restaurants. -Drinks were average prices for Bham. -Service was good, if not a little slow & disjointed at times. However I presume they expect dinners not to opt for desserts as the choice is bland & limited and judging from the display items far from value for money! The one gripe which has in my review cost it a star is the added service charge to the bill. I regularly tip when I eat in restaurants, but it is I feel my choice not my obligation! With larger parties I understand it is now common practice to add 10% but for a couple of casual diners I feel it is unjustified! read more

A new job, time to celebrate. And where better than my favourite Brazilian restaurant in the centre of Birmingham, Ridizio Rico. Located in the Cube, this was our second visit and it didn't disappoint. A quick explanation for anyone who hasn't been; first of all is a visit to the amazing salad bar - actually a vista of starters and side dishes, salad is only a tiny fraction of what's on offer. You then take your seat and over the next two hours or so waiters arrive at your table with a variety of cooked meats on massive skewers that they then carve straight onto your plate. Chicken, beef, lamb, pork, sausage - no less than 16 different varieties. If you need a breather just flip your token from yes to no, and the waiters will pass you by. Today's highlights were the succulent sirloin steak, rare roast beef, lamb chops in a herb crust and coarse pork and garlic sausage. I pigged out and came away very satisfied. Service was quick and friendly. It's not the cheapest option but you would be hard pressed to find another venue where you can eat your own body weight in beef at a similar price. read more

When I heard people talk about this restaurant, I was quite skeptical. When you usually visit buffet restaurants, there's a trade off between quality and quantity. You'll get fed, but it isn't usually amazing food. This place is very different! There's a salad bar with a selection of veggie dishes and some cold meats, but the real treat is the meat they bring around to your table until you're ready to explode. The stuff is continually being cooked fresh on skewers, and brought straight out to the hungry people. It's all cooked to perfection too! There's a great selection of meats parading around, chicken wings, beef ribs, lamb chops, various sausages (not your usual ground meat, these have hugged chunks of diced meat in them) ham, several cuts of beef cooked in different ways. I've been twice now with friends, and both times it's been great. The staff are attentive and friendly, and everything has been fresh and delicious. It's not cheap, but they do have some deals on Groupon from time to time which makes it fantastic value for money. I'd definitely recommend this to all of my carnivorous friends! read more

Really great service. A well presented and choice full salad selection. But don't overdo it too much! As soon as the neat selection is out that's it. This was my 2nd time and was with friends and we all had an enjoyable evening. Tasty hot food selection to your table and great cocktails. Sadly this time no room desert but this certainly is not last time I'll visit. Just need meat lover volunteers to bring along to my next visit. read more

I really enjoyed being able to try a variety of different meats. The atmosphere was great. We day next to the window overlooking the canal. There were four of us and we all get 1 alcoholic drink each our bill was around $155. Quality of food was decent. The salad bar was excellent. My main complaint was a couple of meats were incredibly salty so it ruined the rest of the seasoning. This was the case for the Gammon, the ribs, and one of the chicken cuts. I feel like for the price just a little something was missing. Otherwise, all good. read more

There is also an Italian part of it. Pizza was really good and impressive services with low price. You need to try this one

Have tried many other Brazilian churrascarias and this was by far the least impressive. The salad bar has got a very poor selection. The meat served at the table was pretty low quality, and with little choice. All of the beef available was cooked within an inch of its life so if you like your meat even slightly rare you;ve got no chance. Service was OK but certainly nothing special. On the whole it was pretty disappointing compared to other similar restaurants. read more

At £25 it offers the meat lover among you a vast choice of non stop meat. From lamb to beef it just keeps on coming until you give up. Great place for a big group get together. Wear loose fitting trousers lol read more

After trying a few places in the mailbox and being told the waiting time for a table will be 2 hours! We thought we would give this place a try mainly because I had heard a few good words said about it and that we saw tables clearly free from the window! So we knew no waiting time thank god!! Upon entering your greeted warmly and shown to a table then they ask if you have been before and if the answer is no they explain how the whole thing works. Firstly the buffet where all the salad and starters is pointed out and then your given a circle Brazil flag with a green background on one side and a red background on the other side. Once you have got your salad and head back to your table you are then approached by the meat men and if your card is on green that's their signal that you want some meat. I think there's 16 different types of meat floating around the place but you won't want all 16 types on your plate at once or if fancy a challenge go for it! The good thing their not shy with the portions they dish out and if you feel full or just need to make room on your plate all you do if turn the card over to red and no one approaches you. It's £25 for the meal with is really good considering all the meat you can stuff your face with! Will defiantly be visiting this restaurant again all the staff are really friendly and the food is very very yummy but if your a veggie it might not be the place for you read more

7 of us Saturday night service was ok very busy waiters were quite chatty buffet selection was good. Lasagne was nice.
