07/02/2025- Bad! There is no one in here! Why? The food is cold, awful, the fish smells funny( bad). The staff is rude! The snell of the bathroom is penetrating out through the food area. The floor feels greasy! The decor is dusty! Don’t come here! Okay. They have a bar and music playing loudly! The bar may be your thing! I like food! Thus is not the place to eat! Yuk!and Yuk! * The exterior and interior doors are filthy!

Never will I ever return!!
The manager who was also the cashier was beyond disrespectful! I refuse to ever ever spend money here! Space is unclean, service is bad & they allow outside people who are not customers to linger.

I stopped coming for a while, but I end up coming back today. Ate some of the food And they had mold on the cheese I will be calling the inspectors on them. I did not get a refund for my money. They told me that they was going to bring. This is not a place to eat

The food was very disgusting and felt unreadable at the time and the service was so not what I was expecting it to be. Overall 0/5 and I think I saw a rat and a couple roaches.

This place is terrible please don’t go here! When I got there I noticed that the red sign out front of the restaurant was ripped up and holes were torn in it. Not what you see on the reviews hun.

I thought to myself, hey that’s okay, I came for the crabs. Well, that’s weird, I didn’t see any crabs at all at the buffet. So I went and any asked the lady at the cash register and she said they sell crab legs $30 something dollars per pound. Added to the all you can eat buffet which was already $15. THEY DON’T HAVE ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS. I didn’t even see the blue crabs.

So I go in and pay for their lunch buffet as normal. The food was cold and looked like it was sitting out for hours. All of it looked tampered with because they never replaced the food. I wanted to try something they can’t mess up, the jello. They had an assortment of colors green, orange and red. So happy, I love jello, when I put it in my mouth there was dirt, hair and all types of objects on it, I had to spit it out. Like someone dropped it on the carpet or something.l At this point I said, I’m done and left.

My friend took me here and the food was pretty good, however the waitress yelled at my friend because he didn't leave a tip, however she yelled before he could get change for a twenty
and he changed his mind, it's like WOW! She only refilled his glass twice and often she wasn't around when we needed her, but still a good place to eat

My family and I went to Rio after my nephew graduation ( His choice) I haven’t been to place since they first open so I had no idea the experience I was going to receive. Firstly $22 pp is too much for this place! Secondly the bathroom smell like sewage and the smell came all the way out to the hallway. Thirdly the food selection was bland and look old. The crabs were mushy as they probably reheated yesterday crabs and served, but the fresh batch they put I was better my cousin said. Overall this place need a lot of work. They need to remodel. I’ll never go back to place. Plus the service suck. I hate playing the race cars but they playing us big time. Take your money someone else. Oh and lastly my nephew stomach hurt right afterwards.
