“I've been twice and I've loved the food both times. You can't beat clean, fresh ingredients cooked and served the way you want. Takes the guilt out of eating a burger for sure. You're really missing out if you don't take advantage of the soda fountain.“

“It’s like grabbing a bite at your Uncle’s table. Although it may seem like walking into a time capsule, my family was greeted by the friendly owner. And he does everything; cooking, cleaning, running the register, and taking care of customers. It was really impressive and can really appreciate he does it all with a smile.The food is a must-try. Our chicken gyro was delicious with sliced peppers to give it a little kick. The pep-pizza for my son was crispy and made fresh. The fries were crisp and fresh as well. Overall, my family loved the restaurant and will definitely be back to try something new on the menu!“
“A very quaint place on Brooklyn Parkway. Food was excellent service was phenomenal. Prices were great.One thing I can add is. Maybe they should try their hand at making shakes. I think they would probably. Slay it ❤️???Kid-friendliness: Plenty of seating . Pleasant atmosphere“
“The food is really great but I do wish they had some kind of system for not forcing every single order to be individually wrapped and put into a bag. I understand that they are probably trying to cut down on the need for dishwashers, but even simple lunch trays could really cut down on the waste being created from people eating there.“
“Unassuming joint, but the food’s on point.My main gripes with wings from most places are 1) that they never quite seem to be crispy enough and 2) that they’re big victims of shrinkflation, charging me upwards of $2 apiece for wings that seem to get smaller every year.This place did not have either of those problems. The wings were big, cooked well, crispy, and extremely flavorful. They worked out to just north of a dollar per wing and weren’t stingy with the sauces / ranch either. So the value is certainly there.The customer service was also on point, the guy running the front counter was very nice and took extra care to make sure I had everything I needed before carrying it out.My new go-to for wings in RVA. Don’t let the outside fool you, this place is legit!“
“I stopped in here during a busy convention time for lunch later in the afternoon. I sat at the bar and was taken care of by the attentive bar tender. I don’t remember his name but he was great. I ordered the Truman with truffle fries. The food was good but I’m not sure I’d order it again. It didn’t make me think about it later if you know what I mean. I guess I had high expectations from a place with this name. I would visit again and see if there’s something I missed.“
“Dang. If you only had a few choices in life to eat.. it needs to be here! Burgers are cooked to perfection with many options to dress it up. Great fries as well. Went at lunch on a weekday and it was packed.. I can imagine it fills up fast at night. Been in Richmond 7 years. Top Burgers, hands down.If you’re in town, eat here.“
“Found this place looking for “best lunches” close to the children’s museum. After letting our little one run off some energy, by 2:30 everyone was famished. A quick walk we were greeted as soon as we walked in.They were able to get a booth cleaned for us quickly and as soon as we sat down our server was ready.They had a cute kids menu that kept our 7 year old busy while we waited for our food. And when the food did arrive (not long at all) it was AWESOME! I got a side salad with my burger and it was so worth it. They packed it full of veggies.My husband got the shrimp poboy and his only complaint was that it had to much mayonnaise.Definitely worth the visit if your in town or if your a local stop by! Your tummy will thank you!!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu the kids can color and find word puzzles“
“I love everything about this place! Everything we ordered was delicious. I had the country benedict, which was outstanding. My husband ordered the chesapeake benedict, which was also amazing. The home fries were great and the serving size of the cold brew was more than enough for one person. Service is great, we were there for hours and were not rushed even once. The atmosphere is relaxed and dimly lit. Best part of all is that we barely had a wait time on a Sunday at noon. The menu has something for everyone. Will be returning.“
“Great customer service. The food came out hot and fast. The hush puppies were good. The pulled chicken was bland (not smoked or grilled long enough, maybe idk). The chicken was tender and just needed some flavor. They have a variety of bbq sauces on the table, but they all tasted the same to me. I also tried the corn pudding since that is a side you don't usually see, and it's one of my favorites, but it was like a fluffy custard, not the usual sweet and creamy taste when home made. I substituted that side for fries, and they were a better choice. I will go back to try the wings.“
“Very friendly prompt carry out service and even had an additional overflow waiting area in an extended artsy area where you could purchase items. Had a an eclectic chic artistic vibe in waiting /overflow area… and the Pinapple Moore Mosa was invigorating.“
“Overall Rating: 6.1/10The burger joint offers tasty food and has a nice ambiance, complemented by friendly staff.Service: 5.9/10The cleanliness and friendliness at this place were up to standard. However, the lack of physical menus created a bottleneck, particularly when customers in front were indecisive. This setup didn’t allow for efficient ordering or space for others to review the menu board comfortably. A lot of the tables were dirty but eventually someone went out and cleaned them off.Food:Cheeseburger: 6.1/10A decent burger that meets the basic expectations, similar in quality to what you'd find at other burger spots, without standing out particularly.Loaded Fries: 6.8/10These were a highlight, featuring a good blend of cheese and bacon atop decently crisp fries.Onion Rings: 3.5/10A letdown as the breading didn't adhere to the oversized onion slices, leading to a side that was just thrown away.“
“This place is always busy but never a long wait. The food and servers are great. Their omelettes are amazing and very large in size. The menu is well rounded and great for all. My kids really enjoy their breakfast but their favorite is the grilled cheese and fries.“
“I have not been in the Richmond area long, but Zombie Pizza has already proven to be a fantastic discovery. Run by very pleasant people, and they make some "killer" 'za.I've tried a regular pepperoni pie here, and also the philly steak pizza. Both great. But the Sicilian pie is where it's at. After first trying the Sicilian, I have been back multiple times to get more. This thicker pie really hit the spot for what I was looking for in terms of texture and flavor. Just awesome. Go check 'em out.Carry out only, and the parking is not the best, but it works for zipping in, grabbing and going“
“THESE BURGERS SLAP! I got a goat cheese burger, and that thing was majestic. The restaurant gives millennial core but in a stylish millennial who wears mom jeans kinda way! I think I gained ten pounds from the duck fat pimento cheese fries, and those were the best pounds I’ve ever gained. Come here if you are cool, don’t come if you aren’t (actually still come bc this place must stay open)!“
“I sadly didn’t take any pictures, but you’ll be able to see those on other reviews. Sorry about that.I went here on a Wednesday at around 7 with my mother. She’s got a rollator which is one of those fancy walkers with wheels.I got an andouille sandwich with their spicy potatoes salad. The sandwich was much more than food than I expected. I was quite full afterword. It was two sausages cheese melted on a toasted bun with onions. Excellent meal that I was hesitant to try. The potato salad was great. Better than my mom’s but not quite as good as Garnett’s.My mom got a hamburger with only onions it’s her typical fare with the red skin potatoes. I tried her potatoes and they were good. Her hamburger was pretty boring but she liked it. I think they could have made the beef patties bigger for the price but we had a good meal.Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The meals came out in a reasonable time.The place is very cute and unique. It’s a smaller establishment with a covered patio. The place is handicap accessible but would be difficult with a wheel chair. My mom did fine with her rollator. No steps or anything to get over. The bathrooms are tiny but I think that’s due to the age of the establishment.If I’m in the area would definitely return. Great food, staff, and atmosphere.“
“Went here for the first time today, looking for a good smash burger, and this place did NOT disappoint! I had the Weef burger (inspired by the owners wife) and my fiancé had the classic Cobra burger. Everything was amazing! Adam, the owner, helped us make great choices while engaging with us casually at the bar. I would absolutely come back! The fries, cobra style with the fry sauce ? I usually have leftovers when I leave an establishment..I ate everything with a smile! 10/10 highly recommend“
“The ladies here are fantastic! It’s a family owned and operated small business. They provided wonderful, customized service to make sure I got exactly what I wanted for lunch! And it was QUICK! Before I found them, I only had sit down options that would take 50 minutes and was in a hurry due to being on a tour with limited time for lunch. Thank you so much for the hospitality! And the food was DELICIOUS!!“
“GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! I came here on Saturday night (3.23.24) and I was just blown away by their customer service, how clean it was, and how fast they are! Everything was freshly cooked!! I live in Chesapeake, but I would not mind traveling here to grab a burger or two! Thank you for a great experience.“
“Firstly, I am a huge fan of the band and crew and everyone behind the project known as GWAR. We came to town for one of their shows, and my partner is vegetarian, so we needed good vegetarian food. Well wouldn't you know, this place has everything you could ask for. Strong drinks, good veggie-head food, good meat eater food, and the best atmosphere I could ask for. So awesome. Cheers to the front of house and cooks as well. My taste buds aren't biased by my love for the band, literally everything here was 10/10 delicious. Thank you so much for the memory. Cheers from Alaska.“

“Great food and service.I visited twice this week once with my colleague Chad, who recommended the place. The food was great and the plates were very large.I had the steak egg rolls and pork tacos the first night and the second night, I had the flat iron steak sandwich. All food items were amazing.“
“LOVE this place!!!! Food is great ,: at least everything I have tried is. I order on their website for pickup and it is such a great experience. Always ready on time and piping hot. Even when refrigerated , food is great the next day also. Can't say enough about how great this place “
“I don't know why I haven't heard about this place! Just happened to pass by it after my son's doctors appointment and am glad I stopped in. I got ox tails, but man, that food was soo good make you want to slap your momma ( Friday after next reference for those in the slow seats, lol) I definitely will be coming back and encourage all my foodies to try this place at least once!“
“Definitely my go to place for authentic delicious Mexican food! The Horchata is delicious, the tacos never miss, the huaraches are huge comfort food and the staff is always so friendly. Everyone that I bring ends up loving it and going again on their own.“
“This is our favorite sweet treat. (Lombardy location) I haven't found any other donut shop with a variety of vegan options. My child has food allergies to eggs and nuts. The employees even placed the vegan donuts in a separate bag/box to prevent cross-contamination. Kudos for the service and the best tasting treats.Vegetarian options: A row of different types of donuts labeled vegan“
“Don't be deceived by the simple decor. The food is excellent! We both had tilefish entree. Fresh and well prepared, sitting atop a nice size bed of braised veggies. I'd requested lo sodium. And voila! That's exactly what i received. Friendly service. Prices reasonable. Highly recommended.“
“I pick up from here very often as a delivery driver. These people work hard and have great attitudes, food I have gotten there for myself and family has always been fresh. Sometimes(not always)there is a little bit of a wait as they are a very popular location. It is worth it “
“The staff at this establishment is truly exceptional – friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food served here is nothing short of amazing. Additionally, the affordability of their burger and fries, especially when compared to Five Guys, is noteworthy. I highly recommend this place; you will not be disappointed.“
“3rd time coming here. Food was amazing and you get a lot of it. Ordered 15 wings (3 flavors, smoked then grilled) and a half Cobb salad. The salad alone was food for 2 days. And they didn't have onion straws, but instead of omitting them, I got a pile of onion rings as a bonus. My wife gor the tenders which are big enough to make 3-4 sandwiches and we always get the egg rolls. Banging food, will be back again.“
“Picked up a to-go order of burgers from here, ordered courtesy of my wife who decided to try this place out based on a food reviewer of VA's hotspot restaurants.I must say the salmon burger which my wife made request of chef to make it spicy left me in awe! My taste buds were greatly pleased & so was my wife's with the burger she ordered for herself.We will definitely be making future reservations to visit so we can enjoy the dining experience with great food here!“
“Overall Rating: 7.8/10Whether opting for dine-in or takeout, the pizza and the appetizer sampler were satisfying.Takeout Service: 7.9/10The process of ordering online was streamlined, with the convenience of Apple Pay and immediate email confirmation. The food was ready as promised. However, the online menu could use better descriptions to help ensure customers know exactly what they are ordering.NY Cheese Pizza: 7.1/10A solid choice for pizza lovers, featuring great taste and good sauce. The only drawback was the dough, which was a bit too chewy than preferred.Appetizer Sampler: 7.9/10Definitely worth trying, as it provides a variety of options. The Mac n' cheese bites were surprisingly crispy and delicious. The chicken tenders were well-cooked, and the mozzarella sticks boasted generous cheese filling, complemented by a selection of sauces.Value: 7.9/10The pricing for the pizza seemed reasonable, but the appetizer sampler stood out as particularly good value, offering an enjoyable range of tasty options.“
“Apres Irish Fest. Scrum-dili-iscios! We got Philly cheese steak and chicken Philly. Would not change a single thing. Loaded tots were super yummy. Plain fries are pazakly what you want in straight up fries. Hot, crispy and the right size. Our bartenders were adorable, attentive, and en pointe. Can't wait to go back.“
“Food was great service was great! Had the Belt sandwich and a Pom cider, wife had the Bennie and the kids shared the French toast. Belt came with a side of Brussels and they were damn near the best I’ve had perfectly cooked. Cool spot will go again.“
“While looking for a quick bite, traveling through VA, I happened to land at MO Carry Out. Couldn't have made a better choice. Crispy, flavorful fried fish and wings. The gentlemen working the kitchen and counter were friendly, funny, and welcoming. So was Mr Brown, who was hanging out in the dining area :). Will definitely stop here again!“
“Came in from out of town and a friend suggested I come here, was not disappointed. Ordered the east coast burger with fries and a blueberry mojito. The burger was cooked right, ingredients tasted fresh, most places see fries as an afterthought but here they were freshly cut and had some kind of seasoning on them tasted great. And I had never had a mojito made with blueberry simple syrup before but I'd highly recommend trying it.“
“Food was on point. Had a Thursday special of 20 wings for $20. I ordered the Mango Habanero and Sweet Samurai. Both were really good and the wings weren't over cooked like BWs. The only issue was the bathroom. Men's runy was closed and the women's was pretty nasty. I felt dirty after washing my hands.“
“Update: went today around 1030. Not busy. The food was good in that the eggs were done as I requested. The hash browns tasted kind of fishy. Service was pretty poor. My server seemed to forget me bith before i ordered and when i was done. Both times i asked someone else for help and they got her. Once she was doing side work! Original post: Kind of mixture of diner and restaurant. Menu was pretty extensive, considering... my eggs Benedict, which I asked to be well done, was still runny. Prefer first watch.“
“I grew up loving Whataburgers. We had Whataburger before we had McDonald's in our town. My husband is not as much of a fan of the burgers but he just discovered the steak sandwich. I have a feeling from now on when I say I want a Whataburger he will be all in because he can have a steak sandwich! The ladies working behind the counter we're very nice and personable. I'm not sure I've ever eaten inside this one and was pleasantly surprised to see how cute it is.“
“I go here most Tuesday evenings for their 9.99 burger and fries deal, and I haven't been disappointed yet. The food is always delicious. The portion sizes are great, especially for the price. The staff is always friendly, and most recently, they acknowledged me as a regular which is super fun. I have no complaints and encourage you to go get one of these tasty burgers for yourself.“
“The service was great! We had a really friendly server who was very attentive. Regarding the food, when it arrived for our large group, it wasn't as warm as we expected. I presume this might be due to the high volume of orders, from our group, resulting in some dishes having to wait longer than others. The food tasted good and it was a large portion. Additionally, the cocktails were fantastic!“
“Very nice staff some even speak other languages like Spanish and helped my dad order his food. The food is amazing and doesn't take long to come out it's all fresh and it just has a happy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend if you want some good burgers!“
“Very nice location, roomy, bright, and clean. Service was great the two times I visited with 2 different employees. It has a really nice outdoor seating and a fireplace inside for cold days which makes it more of a cozy place to have a meal or ice cream.“
“First-time diners, stopped in around noon for a Monster Junk Yard Dog and a Bologna Burger. This is CLASSIC diner (& breakfast!) joint fare with really generous portions (Never seen a bologna burger that thick, EVER). The owners are good folks and the decor is astounding. Stopping back for breakfast sometime soon!“
“Incredible and authentic Mexican food. The chips are fresh, salsa is delicious. The gorditas are so good and the flavor is just beyond. Everything they do is so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The margaritas are so fresh and delicious. I cannot recommend this place enough. Not to mention, the cost is so affordable especially for the quality of food.“
“Went to Shorty's Diner as a surprise for breakfast. My fiancee went before and decided to take me. Right away the customer service was great. The scenery was amazing. I love nostalgia so they had me so all I had to wait on was the food. I ordered the Shorty's Sampler and loved it. It was actually too much so I had to take the rest home for later but I love that!!! Overall I love this place and will definitely be going back!!“
“Adding to previous comments about the lack of TVs, I will say that I was expecting at least of few TVs at the bar and think that business would benefit from adding some. It is definitely a cool place for groups to hang out and drink for a while, but if there are no TVs for big sporting events, groups will go elsewhere to hang out and drink for a while during such events.Service was good but the place was empty so whatever. Food was fine but nothing special and would rate as average as of right now. I was definitely hoping for more flavorful and fresher ingredients. Both the sausage and the house chips were fine but could certainly be described as bland/unremarkable. The roll used for the sausage was particularly disappointing. Good bread is key!I enjoyed the atmosphere overall and could definitely see myself hanging out there with a small group on a regular basis, especially considering the location is so convenient for us. However, it did seem like something was missing, and not just the TVs. Maybe it was because we were there for lunch on a Tuesday and the place was empty, but I couldn't help but think this place has not reached it's full potential as far as vibe/atmosphere.I will definitely return to enjoy some beers on the patio and will hope for a better experience with the food next time.“
“Never been to this one before. Sadly, after 2 visits to 5Guys, over a 2 or 3 year span I have givenup. Food is tasty and fresh. But the amount of grease is deadly. It should be a juicy burger not a greasy burger. Seriously, I spent three day I'll.For me? This goes toward proof this company has a good concept but can't get it to work. Sorry 5 Guys. Really.“
“I ordered the special, a small sub, fries and drink for 10 dollars! It was amazing and so delicious!! The hospitality was also amazing which honestly made the food taste so much better! My friend ordered a slice of cheese pizza and it came out hot and fresh like the rest of the food. Overall very awesome and will be attending this place regularly 20/10“
“Ordered from my house and it was almost ready when I got there. Expensive but it's good once in awhile. The team made it known that they had been shorted hot dog buns from their supplier and they put my hot dog on a hamburger bun and it was actually great, I enjoyed it.“
“Quick turnaround time. Called ahead for more information regarding vegan options. The person who answered was friendly and knowledgeable. Food came relatively warm and tastes good. Would like more sauce and a neater sandwhich; however, it's not a deal breaker. Wish they had "add vegan bacon" option under Classic Vegan Smash w/ Fries & Drink combo as well as vegan milkshakes to order from DoorDash.“
