“Truly a hole-in-the-wall place, serving up the best BBQ I’ve ever had. The mailman was spectacular, and the ribs literally fell off the bones. My family’s only complaint? The brisket was sold out before we got there!”

Tacos El Paisa 236 W Main St, Richmond Mexican • $

“Just an amazing place overall. I remember the owners (brothers or family) owning a food truck that the whole town loved. They found enough success to buy this building, and have only continued to grow. Their food is excellent, the environment makes you feel comfortable, and most of all it’s affordable. Not to mention they make amazing churros. I have nothing but respect for the guys but that does not aid a bias in this review. The food alone speaks for itself. 11/10 recommendation.”

Jackson's Restaurant 203 S 3rd St, Richmond American • $

“A classic "meat and three" with a buffet line of awesome meat and veggie selections. Even cooler was the fact that when I quizzed the server over which of the two meats I was interested in was better she responded "you can get half and half!" What a unique hospitality! I had half meatloaf, half fried chicken livers (I know half if you will say "gross" but I LOVE them) with mashed potatoes n gravy and pinto beans. All fantastic. My wife had half fried chicken and half fried Cajun catfish. Portions were more than ample and the food was fantastic. The only complaints.....they could not keep up with demand for cornbread so the only option was Sarah Lee rolls straight from the bag. Also it takes about 10 minutes to make homemade tartar sauce but they handed premade commercial packets instead. The apple hand pies were absolutely incredible. All in all a great old time place that serves great food with great attitude. We loved it. If we were locals we would be here on a very regular basis. We are from out of town just here for a college baseball weekend series.”

Golden Leaves LLC Inside the Richmond Mall, 830 Eastern Bypass, Richmond Coffee & Tea • $

“One of my favorite local businesses, in general, as well as Richmond!The cafe side has a large variety of teas for people to try as well as some nice food options and well made coffee (for the coffee lovers, like myself!)The bath and body side is also really nice. There is a wide variety of products for people to use (for both men and women). They also release seasonal products along with their typical line of products to keep things new and refreshed!As a guy, I also really appreciate their line of beard care products. I'm extremely particular about beard products and they did a great job synthesizing blends of needed oils that a guy would need (like jojoba oil), as well as avoiding any of the bad ingredients (like water) found in some commercial beard oils. So if you're looking for any local beard care products for your man (or yourself), I highly suggest looking into their selection.”

“Came in an hour before closing time on Sunday 4/21/24. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious (especially the fried fish). The service was perfect and all employees we interacted with were super friendly. We’ve been here many times over the years, but this particular visit was without a doubt the best. Great job GC. Thank you for a wonderful meal and service. We can’t wait to come back again soon!”

Cook Out 120 Eastern Bypass, Richmond Burgers • $

“Genuinely the best restaurant I've ever been to.Freshly made food, loads of choices, all at a great price! You can get a whole meal here for the price of a singular sandwich at places like Culvers or Hardee's.The seating is kept pretty clean and it has a chill environment overall.This is personal, but I love Cheerwine and I'm from up North where we only recently got it locally. Cook Out has Cheerwine Floats. Dude that is so hype.My only criticism is that we don't have this restaurant in Ohio. Definitely coming back whenever I visit.”

“Wings were outstanding! Aaron was our server and he did a great job helping us with the menu and making sure we ordered the food that we wanted. My wife left her purse in the restaurant. When she realized it, she turned to go back for it only to be met by Aaron rushing out of the restaurant with her purse to catch us. Aaron is a great server and even a better person! Madison Garden continues to be one of the best restaurants in Richmond. I highly recommend it.”

Logan's Roadhouse 2146 Lantern Ridge Dr, Richmond American • $

“My wife and I both ordered the Logan sirloin steaks. Mine was ordered to perfection. My wife filled up on bread and her sides, so took her steak to go. Her steak was overcooked, but to be fair, I believe our waitress, Kassandra, would have took care of us if we pointed it out in the restaurant. The service from Kassandra was outstanding. I ordered the BBQ beans as a side and she warned me that the beans had a kick to them. I’m glad she did or that first bite would have surprised me. The sides were great, the staff was friendly, and we enjoyed our meal.”
