23 Best American Restaurants near Richmond

“The three of us went there for lunch and got there about 11:30. By the time it was 12:30, the restaurant was packed! And no wonder, we all had completely different means, and they were delicious! The portions were "ginormous" and everything we got was soooo tasty! The waitress was as sweet as she could be and the manager constantly walked around asking if everything was all right. I wish I lived closer than an hour away because I would be enjoying this restaurant quite frequently!“

“Just tried this place recently for the first time. Boy have I been missing out. I've been a handful of times now. The food is great and the prices are great. I've only had to things this far.... Grecian bowl, and the Doctor salad. Both are outstanding. This is 100% better than fast food for a much better price.“

“Ate there last night, look at the bill and very disappointed, talked to the manager, she said was right, I beg the differ and paid. We both ordered dinners, wanted soup we asked for a bowl, charged me 3.29 dollars each for a bowl of soup, it shouldn’t cost that much to upgrade to a bowl. Never had that problem with the port Huron restaurant.“

“Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Enticing daily specials. I went on a Tuesday to try their puffy tacos. They didn't skimp on ingredients but there was only ground beef, not chicken. It was $7.99 for the platter that had two puffy tacos, Mexican rice, and refried beans. All quite tasty and more than I could eat at one sitting. I took home a deliciousl slice of rhubarb custard pie for later.“

“The Bourbon steak was the most tender steak I have ever had. We did curbside so we didn't go in but the lady that brought our food out to us was very friendly and upbeat. This Applebee's also has a very good veterans discount which helped allot. It might be 30% off.“

“This was our first time going here, we ordered take out and really enjoyed everything! Service was great, food was very good, all was hot and cooked fresh! We'll definitely be back, shouldn't have waited so long to order from here.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and plenty arcade games inside to stay occupied.“

“Had the BEST experience at Olga's today for lunch! Awesome food and the service- AMAZING!!The waitress, Danielle, was the best part of the experience! Her personality was so fun and pleasant and she was oh so efficient at her job! My coffee started full my entire meal and she checked back on my break to make sure all was well ?Servers like her are the reason I return to Olga's time and time again! Good job Danielle! I'm sure you make your work family proud bring a part of a great team!Thanks again!! ?“

“The best breakfast and wait staff!! I love that I can come right after work (7am) before the crowd shows up. I never met the cook but they sure know what they are doing. And the ladies that show up every morning to take care of us are amazing! P.s. they know how to make a birthday girl smile“

“First time. Got the Jr spinach cheese pie and Greek salad. Excellent salad. Very fresh ingredients and the dressing was awesome. Pie was thinner than I was used to eating but very tasty-- seasoned just right. Will definitely stop there again. Maybe they sell their dressing? Staff very courteous and helpful.“

“I haven't been in this restaurant since they first reopened. I was so pleasantly surprised by the food. We tried the soup flight which was what we originally had gone in to try. It was good. I highly recommend the lemon rice soup. The salads were fresh and so reasonably priced. The house greek dressing is fabulous. For dessert we had the dirty latte flight which was so cute, clever and really delicious. I will definitely be stopping in more often.“

“this place was amazing overall! We dined in and the aesthetic of the restaurant was very nice, as others have said it’s kind of like you were in Florida. Food came out fresh and tasting great. Got the lobster roll , tacos and nachos- it was hella tasty. Our server jason was great, always made sure our drinks were filled, the hospitality 10/10. Worth a drive out here, will be coming back!!“

“The food here is amazing! I hate going to restaurants because it seems like all the food is the same and the food comes out bland. The rage tater tots are delicious, the bacon is actual cooked then crumbles bacon, the cheese sauce it steaming hot and the tater tots are perfectly crispy, I could not get these tater tots cooked to this level of perfection at home, they are that good. The corned beef is the best I have had anywhere, Turkey bacon wrap is also delicious. You can tell the food is made with intent and pride. A restaurant like this is really hard to find and I will be a repeat customer.“

“A culinary gem! From the warm welcome to the exquisite dishes, every moment was a delight. The menu offers a diverse selection, and each dish is crafted with precision. The ambiance is cozy yet sophisticated, perfect for any occasion. Highly recommend!“

“I tried the perch this Friday. Wife had French dip & my daughter had the toasted Ravioli. Everything was very good including the service. W a good atmosphere & friendly staff. We will be going back for sure.Parking: Usually just park on the street in front of the Restaurant“

“Every time we come here we have a good meal! We have sat at the bar with the bartender Stephanie and sat at the tables with our waitress Jennifer and you always feel important and the food is always good. I recommend the steakhouse burger because you won’t find a better burger anywhere, even at home!“

“The raft burger was very good! Brought me back to my childhood whwn they had the burgers wrapped in the wax paper. We also had the fried cauliflower, zucchini, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, and mushrooms. The deluxe something lol but it wasn't all greasy like other places.“

“The full slab of ribs are amazing...a bit expensive...the avocado cheese dip appetizer is awesome...service was top gun...delicious overall and a great portion of food...TOP GUN delicious...two thumbs ?? upGood idea to make Reservations....“

“The service is always so good at this place! The place is so comforting to be in. I'm so glad that this restaurant has really good food and hours! I will always come back to this place! The people are so nice to you. People should come visit this place. The building is very big. It's a good enough space for a lot of people. The bathroom is very pretty looking. Also a pretty decent size of a bathroom. I wish more people would come to this place. I have been here so many times! The food is always so amazing. I'm so glad that I get to come here every so often!“

“Yesterday was my first time here. And they exceeded my expectations! The good was great! Compliments to the Chef!! My waitress Veronica was the best! Very approachable and professional! I will definitely be going back and asking for Veronica ???? Keep it up, guys! ❤️??“

“I've been here before and it was excellent so my sister and I stopped in. My Texas Burger was one the best I've (cheese burger)ever had. It was perfect. My only complaint is that the booth upholstery seemed to need cleaning or perhaps an update but other than that it was very nice.“

“First visit today. Funny this place has been 3-4 different places in the 20 yrs I've lived out here. I get tired of the same old places. Anyway Dee was our waitress, she was so nice and funny. Make sure you ask for her. We had a small shawarma pizza and the Hot Rod burger and fries. The pizza was excellent and the burger and fries equally as good. The prices seemed pretty reasonable too. Hope this time it stays“

“First time at this location and we had a warm welcome from our waitress Paula, then the manager brought out a sample of all their side dishes and everything was excellent. Then our dinner salmon was very good. The place was packed and we just had a wonderful time. 5 stars ✨“

“Stopped in here a few week's ago on a weekend getaway. They were short staffed I assumed because I believe the owner waited on us and was the most friendly anyone could ask for. This is the place where locals obviously go because the owner knew everyone by name and I just love places like this. I got the Polish sausage special with potato pancakes. Damn delicious and portions were gigantic. Fiance got an omelette, same was delicious and enormous. Will be making this place my go to breakfast spot when I come back for my yearly fishing trip!!“
