“I brought 2 ladies with me yesterday afternoon to this Golden Corral in Richmond, Ky. The food was in order. The buffet area was clean and neatly organized. We came down to Richmond from Lexington. I am the 2 ladies ate decently. I know I ate real good after church. The server named Stephanie was good to us. This Golden Corral is just out the way. This might out rate the Golden Corral in Lexington if this keeps up.”

“Food was delicious and staff very friendly.”

“Service was outstanding by Cody. Tried different items this time, was very good. Met the owner, John. Was extremely personable. Will go back soon.”

“Purdy’s is exceptional local establishment downtown Richmond with a whole community of supporters, even as far as eastern Kentucky. I’m from Pikeville and each time I’m in town i have to stop for at least one iced coffee per trip… sometimes two! I will also DoorDash drinks and lunch to others in Richmond while in Pikeville. They’re just that great! Their drinks are always unique and fresh and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Any coffee shop that i walk into and instantly smell the fresh aroma of coffee beans is going to be 🔥! I highly recommend Purdy’s… if you’re a small business supporter and coffee enthusiast, you can’t miss out!”

“The staff at Khin’s are always very nice and professional. The food is fantastic and the cash special where you get extra drinks is a nice touch! Thank you for being so fantastic!”

“SO GOOD!!! Everything is wonderful. Service is excellent and food is perfection.”

“Friendly and darn good strips😋”

“Friendly staff, good service, and a firm yet polite manager (Laura Zantos) who really made our experience great as we stopped at this Olive Garden after driving for 6 hours.

We came in an hour before closing an ordered unlimited soup and salads. They ran out of soup but were very kind and worked with us to ensure that we were still satisfied with the food.

Would recommend this Olive Garden!”

“5 stars This place is an absolute pleasure and should be on everyone’s go-to list. The atmosphere is second to none—relaxing, welcoming, and full of charm. I highly recommend the Salty Grilled—it’s packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, this spot won’t disappoint.”

“Robby Robbin’s is amazing ! The hospitality manager. So welcoming. So kind they are opening a music venue with big artist names . Highly recommend!”

“Sarah waited on us and was on it, no flagging down for refills or anything . A waitress of that caliber is hard to find and makes the meal more worth it. Thank you Sarah and overall enjoyable meal.”

“Kerry makes the best sweet tea! Great food and atmosphere”

“Ordered on DoorDash and requested a lavender honey oatmilk latte. They called me soon after to let me know they were out of lavender syrup. They offered to refund my money or make an alternative drink. I chose an alternative drink, and they then offered me a complimentary bakery item. When I arrived to pick up my drink, they had me try it and offered to make me something else if I didn’t like it. Excellent customer service in my opinion.”

“Great decor, atmosphere and service on top of the amazing food!”

“Ordered 3 beast pizzas for my daughters birthday and they did a perfect job. Pizzas were on time for pickup,hot and fresh with tons of toppings. Our guests raved about how good the pizza was.”

“This food was amazing, me & my husband and our 3 year old came here to eat. The waitress was extremely friendly and never let us go without drinks. She checked on us in a reasonable time. We really enjoyed this food! The shrimp was absolutely incredible. My son loved his rice which he is very picky so that’s saying a lot lol. We will be visiting this place again when in the area.”

“Kudos to you!!! Great customer service!!! We had a very big order and it was pretty late. The man at the window was so kind. And our order was completely correct!!!!”

“Great Service, good food!!”

“My partner and I came to Arby’s after a long time in traffic, and Rich (cashier) was so kind and made our day! They also corrected our order and were so kind. Rich was awesome!”

“I got stranded in the snow in Richmond Ky and the Waffel House there was running full force. Angie was ultra helpful even though I came in hungry and stressed. Ry Ry cooked the most perfect T bone I have ever had in my over twenty five years of Waffel House visits. Thank You. ❤”

“I order on the app then go pick it up in a stall... They don't have drive-thru option on their app yet which I don't understand....... But anyway the place is really expensive without the deals you get on their app...... It's more expensive than McDonald's or Wendy's but with the app you can get really good deals”

“This is the McDonald’s that sets a high bar for other McDonald’s. The restaurant is spotless; employees are helpful, friendly and efficient; and the food was hot, fresh and was delivered promptly to our table. This has been our experience each time we have visited this restaurant.”

“This is the Slowest Drive Thru Service I've ever seen in a 'fast food' restaurant. It isn't any faster to go inside either..not sure what is wrong with that place.”

“Best coffee in Richmond Ky! Awesome barista‘s, veteran discount who’s the competitor doesn’t do! They know me by name and usually ask when I walk up the usual, medium or large? It says something when you have 20 Cars in line and the competition has only 4 cars in line. Stop by have a great cup of your favorite coffee and tell them Bud sent you by!”

“Thai Smile is an amazing restaurant. The food is wonderful and they love to give back to the community. I love this place!!!”

“This is our newest Mexican restaurant in Richmond and currently our best(before this one Nuevo Vallarta was the best, still a close 2nd). The birria Street Tacos are excellent!”

“I love this place. It’s quick and it’s good. The yum yum sauce is amazing.”

“Love the drinks and treats!”

“Well yall we love the food the company and atmosphere. If your hungry or you need a hug or just somewhere to feel like your family go by and grab you some lunch and don't forget dessert.”

“Leah is outstanding! She has a great personality and always has a smile. We all ways ask for her section. She is one of a kind and the reason we come to this location.”

“Muy buena comida y atienden rapido”

“1st Annual Lagerfest. Warm friendly atmosphere and welcoming. Three excellent bands, Sparky Greene and the Pollinators, Barefoot and Bourbon and AC/Unit Band.
My husband loves Dreaming Creek Brewery's lagers. He gets one every time we go to Tasty Tuesdays or to a festival.
I'm a teetotaler and go for the friendly atmosphere, great music, good feelings and all the other attractions such as Troupe De Gaz. Both of us appreciate the various fund raisers as well.”

“Purdy’s is exceptional local establishment downtown Richmond with a whole community of supporters, even as far as eastern Kentucky.

“Wanted to give a shout out to shift leader Kiley! She took my order promptly and with a smile. She then bagged my order. She noticed the cast on my arm and graciously offered to carry my food to my car! I accepted her offer. She placed the food in the back seat and put my pillow in front of the bag so it wouldn’t fall off! It’s like she knows how I drive! Thank you, Kiley! You went above and beyond!!!”

“A Kool place! Great food, with fast friendly service. It's now one favorite Mexican restaurant in Richmond, KY. Fantastic decor, and very clean.☆☆☆☆☆5stars.”

“John Dale cooks the best damn burgers you can find. Great music, atmosphere and service. Only open 3 nights a week and closed a lot for private parties but if you are in Richmond and catch it open and available, you won’t be disappointed. 10 stars!! Like others have said, if you’re in a hurry go somewhere else. This place is meant to chill and enjoy the vibes while you wait for a mouthwatering smash burger.”

“Great server. We were greeted by nice guy for seating. No wait. Wings are great there. I had a burger. All cooked fresh to order. Only thing of note was trivia host volume was a little loud. He had a awesome baratone voice. We've been there twice this month and will be back. One of our guest raved about the Martini.”

“People always complain when they have a bad experience but people never tell when they have a good experience. I am here to tell my good experience! Today was a bad day for me, on my way home from working all day I wanted to grab dinner so I didn’t have to cook and pasta sounded good to me so I walked into Fazolis. At first there was a teenage boy who waited on me but my question prompted him to go get a manager, that is when a lady with the best eyeliner I’ve ever seen and several piercings walked up to help me. She was so helpful, answered all my questions, applied a discount to my order from the app and listened to me talk about how hard I worked today and I really appreciated all of that. After my experience with her I will make sure to eat at Fazolis more. I hope a higher up sees this bc she really deserves a “job well done” I was happier walking out then I was walking in and that just doesn’t happen often in this world so thank you nice lady manager at Fazolis! You made my bad day a little better 🙂 P.S. My family meal tasted amazing too!”

“The food here is really good. I normally only eat 2 tacos but they were so good I ate 3. My husband and I really enjoyed this restaurant. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual but the food and drinks are good. There isn’t that much seating and the entire time we were eating almost every table was full. The salsa bar was a good experience and when they say spicy they actually mean it with the salsa options.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the owner She is absolutely amazing she made the cake and cupcakes for my wedding and she went above and beyond my expectations the only hard thing we dealt with was choosing what flavor we wanted because they were all so good 😋❤️”

“This is by far the best pizza in Richmond! The staff works together like a well oiled machine. The restaurant is super clean, well managed and I HIGHLY recommend it. The 5 meat treat is my go-to for pizza but sometimes they have a Mac & Cheese pizza on the bar that is delicious!!! The salad bar is well stocked, fresh and the lettuce is cut in manageable strips. Not at all like the large chunks that could choke a horse. I love this place for quality at a superbly affordable price! The manager that assisted us was named Aaron. He’s very friendly, super fast, clean and seems to hold the respect of his staff. I’d give them 10 stars if this app would let me!”

“This is the place to eat whether you're dining in or on the go. The service was great. I didn't catch the name of the cashier working 9/28, but she was awesome and definitely went above and beyond, especially during the lunch rush. We had to wait longer than expected, and she gave us shrimp on the house. McDonald's could never. Girl you a real one 💯 To sum up, food and service 10/10 🤌✨️”

“Excellent service, helpful employees, fresh food, clean restaurant, all at a fair price.”

“I have two friends who ate from here the other day. Got sick about half hour later and they are still sick.its been two days so far.they had a conceso cheese with chicken and rice. My family eats there once a week so definitely being cautious now”

“The young women that work front are pleasant and food is always good. Amazing wait staff and cooks. I am always pleasantly surprised by the speed of the cooks and when the cashiers remember the dressing I like without asking. Janitorial staff is needed.”

“I had Corbin’s Apollo’s today ans it’s hands down the best pizza from Williamsburg to Lexington and maybe further and yes that is including other Apollos locations as well. Don’t let this one slip by go out and show them some love of your in the tri county area”

“Today we decided to try a new restaurant just outside of Richmond that I had heard rave reviews over. Dos Hermanos is located in the same building as the BP Station, but don't let this fool you at all. This place is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! Very clean inside and the food was better than everyone had described. I had the Dos Hermanos Special which included a grilled chicken breast, grilled steak, special seasoned grilled shrimp on a generous bed of rice with California vegetables. This meal was only $14.99 and was a huge serving. The steak is thin, but very tender and full of flavor. The chicken breast was seasoned and cooked perfectly, but the highlight of the dish without a doubt were the 6 scrumpdullyishous shrimp. These were absolutely to die for! The dish was topped with queso sauce which made every bite even better. My wife had the shredded chicken chimichanga which came with rice and beans. This dish was only $9.99 and was one of the best chimichangas that she has had in a very long time. There was a very generous serving of chicken inside and the flavor was out of this world! There is a very wide variety on the menu and I cannot wait to go back and try something else -- but it will be very difficult to change from what I ordered today. Don't let the fact that this is in the same building as a gas station prevent you from coming here. There is a separate entrance and it is completely separated from the gas station. Again, very clean, excellent food, fast and friendly service. We will return again and again! Without a doubt, the drive is definitely worth the difference.”

“My favorite place in Madison Co!”

“OMG are these the best donuts that I have ever had in my entire life. My husband is on his route in Kentucky and brings these donuts home to the family we can't get enough .They are absolutely amazing we love them ,the kids love them, they are so good. They must have a pastry chef on site who's making these donuts because they are so amazing. But that's not the only thing ! They also have meals at this place that are beyond amazing. My husband got a lunch there and brought some home to me. I had some of their Mac and cheese that was so creamy so cheesy and so flavorful it was unbelievably good!!! We live in Tennessee he has a route in Kentucky we have actually talked about going up there on the weekend just to get a meal and some donuts. Now you know a place is good with gas prices as high as they are that you're gonna travel that far to get some food. If you're in the area , if you're not in the area..... you're gotta go to Richmond KY and get yourself to Doughdaddy's on Moberly Rd. I promise you you won't regret it they're amazing and I also heard they are very nice and a great staff I can't wait to meet them! Anytime my husband has a route in that area he stops in. Thank you Doughdaddy's please don't ever go anywhere you guys are amazing”

“Great music and atmosphere! My husband and I were staying in a local hotel for the night while passing through. So glad we decided to check this place out. The band was amazing, we danced the night away and had a great time!”

“Good Good. Enjoy the play place that’s still open.”

“Poppy’s Ice Cream truck has visited our neighborhood twice and the kids absolutely love it! They are so friendly and have a wonderful selection of ice cream! 🍦”

“Fantastic pizza and sandwiches. The meatball appetizer is really good as well. We've never had a bad experience with Big City and the staff is really friendly and welcoming. The best sandwich isn't on the menu, ask for the Tipsy Chicken made into a sandwich, add jalapenos!!”

“The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I went for the first time not really knowing what to order and they guided me through and helped me create the BEST protein shake I’ve ever had. They asked me questions to get a feel for my taste preferences and it really helped to create something I enjoyed. There are so many options and I’m excited to go back!!!!!”

“People who love to tail gate, let their hair down on occasion, this is your place to go for fun. The owners couldn’t be better and the service is fantastic and friendly 🥳😉😆”

“A shout-out to the ever welcoming staff at Java City, Amanda and Katie, serving up delicious coffee. It'll be pretty nice to have the seating areas around the library cafe available again in the fall, so convenient for relaxed meetings, energizing ideas.”

“Had an issue a couple of weeks ago that was not quite mad mushrooms fault, and they still offered a small gift card and then tonight our driver refused to let me reimburse her for the cookie she bought us because she felt so bad about every thing. 🥹 it’s so hard to find good honest workers who are just kind and both the supervisor/manager and the worker were so sweet.”

“Tara was wonderful, ordered my food at the wrong location! The window person immediately called Tara and she asked me what I bought, called the cooks to make it and then called the other store let them know I was picking it up there! This was great service! Other places would automatically send me to the other store! So props to her and the team for taking care of me!”

“Great place! Delicious food at reasonable prices, and wonderful service. Thank you for being there for us! 😊”

“Great staff and the food was on point! QUick and Clean”

“ALWAYS delicious. I eat lunch here 2-3 times a week and it never disappoints. The burgers are always delicious and the fries are always fresh and crispy. Couple that with reasonable pricing and no sales tax for a meal that's far cheaper than any other options available in the area.”

“Very Inviting and refreshing”

“Wouldn’t serve me because I had my dog with me.”

“This was my staple restaurant while in college. I’m happy to say it’s still just as good! I’ve been eating here for almost 20 years now! The orange chicken and crab Rangoon’s are the best!”

“Advice for people who are new to working customer service/ any job: if you bargain with your co-worker to change tasks so you don't have to make drink, decide quickly. Also, try to whisper when you have this very prolonged conversation.”

“Best place in town to have a party! Jeff Gillum goes above and beyond! He made my Mom's 84th birthday over the top! I appreciate all he and he staff did for our family and friends! Top notch!! Thanks so much!!”

“I just recently discovered their grilled chicken sandwich and it’s by far the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten and to top it off I get the double chocolate milkshake!! Delicious 🤤”

“Just picking up my Birthday reward. I picked the nuggets to give to my dogs since I'm not a nuggets fan. I picked the happy meal and a little girl walked by.

I told them for what they don't have Id they are 11 they don't need it. the waitress said some states require that I told her well we are in KY and they don't...got the bill taken care of than we were leaving she started saying what no tip. I asked what she goes no tip..no here's your tip in KY they don't require an 11 year old to have an id...think from now on we are going to the Chinese place in Winchester...worst time I have ever had in this place...”

“I’ve been to some pretty crappy Buffalo Wild Wings over the last few years so compared this one was pretty good. Service was a bit slow but friendly and since we were watching the game the slowness wasn’t such a big deal. The food was great. I had the triple bacon burger and my husband had wings.
