Review Summary

Le Rio draws praise for a warm welcome, fast reliable service, and consistently good food, with many noting the ribs as outstanding and the portions generous, often accompanied by house made fries and a well chosen music vibe that fits a casual setting. The terrace is a highlighted feature, sometimes described as dog friendly, and the overall atmosphere plus friendly staff encourage repeat visits, with several reviews mentioning plans to return or even making it a regular stop. The ribs are repeatedly described as among the best, with full racks and impressive flavor, and some guests mention that the sangria and other sides complement the meal well and offer solid value for the price. There are a few less favourable notes, citing meals that did not meet expectations and mocktails that fell short, plus occasional remarks about sharing policies and menu consistency, but these are outnumbered by enthusiastic praise and many strong recommendations. Overall, Le Rio comes across as a dependable spot for ribs and casual dining, with attentive service and a welcoming setting that keeps guests coming back.

Group of 5 adults on a Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed their different meals: ribs, chicken, fish& chips & stuffed chicken in Cajun sauce. All the desserts we tried were very good too. Friendly service, relaxed cozy atmosphere, well priced food. Very happy with our experience!

We are 2 seniors that dine together often, & we split our meals because we do not eat the same amount of food as in our prior years. This allows us to try many restaurants in the St Sauveur area.
We went to Rio to try the ribs on Sunday night. There was only one other table occupied.
Sophie was a very pleasant server, & very polite. We explained to her that we would be splitting a rib meal together. She said it's not normally allowed, but for this night she would accommodate us.
The ribs were excellent, but thrown on top of the French fries, & there was a minuscule amount of coleslaw. For the fact alone, that we are not allowed to share a future plate, we will not be going back. St Sauveur is loaded with senior people, & trust me, we are your marketing agents!

I visited with my family for a rare dinner out. We've eaten there before & already knew we would enjoy it. They didn't let us down. The friendly atmosphere & service with a smile. Their food was just as good as I remembered. Highly recommend this great local family restaurant.

Service is excellent as always, however the food was highly disappointing. Ribs taste was not the usual, fries were so-so, burger average & dessert (coke) was stale/old... sad...

Food was so so. Too much French fries & too much salt in every dish. Don't ask for coffee, as what we got was anything, but coffee.

Amazing food, great prices, great service, & I can bring my doggo on the terrace! I went with the Rio Burger, & wow was it amazing with the beef patty & ribs/sauce on top!! The homemade fries & poutine sauce were top-notch as well. & the portions were very generous, something that's lacking at a lot of restos these days. Wait time for the food was very good as well. The service was great & the ambiance is very cozy. It's not in the downtown core of St-Sau, so it's a little quieter. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

Delicious food, fantastic service & charming ambience. This family owned restaurant is a must stop. We got the full rack of ribs, which we couldn't finish, & they made a perfect midnight snack (I'm eating them as I write this!). Ribs were classic bbq style, not too fatty but very juicy, on a bed of perfectly fried french fries (the classic poutine style fries that are a deep brown but soft & sweet) & a tangy coleslaw that balances out the flavours. 10/10 would recommend:)

What a wonderful place! We ordered fried mushrooms & half-rack ribs with baked potato. From now on this is THE rib place for us! The restaurant is clean, seating was spacious, very nicely decorated & festive. The service was excellent: Laureen was attentive, friendly & prompt. Food was excellent: hot & delicious, especially ribs: a really slow-cooked variety (not boiled commercial fast-serve). The bill was reasonable. Will definitively return - many times!

I have eaten ribs in many well known restaurants & I must say that this restaurant serves the best ribs that I have ever eaten. The fries are to die for & yes, when I do die, I want to go to Le Rio BBQ
