“Phenomenal flavors paired together for sweet and savory dishes. Unique menu options they change regularly! So yummy 😋”
“We were taken to Carytown Indian Cuisine last night by our kids. We were so impressed with our experience! The food was amazing. I requested a specially prepared curry vegetable dish, and the chef/owner was happy to create it for me. Several of our party enjoyed tikki masala with chicken. We also enjoyed lentils, cooked to perfection and wonderful chocolate lava cake for dessert. The service was impecable. Our waiters were so attentive and responsive, even though it was a very busy night. The ambience was warm and classy. The chef/owner was so gracious and even visited us at our table. I can't wait to return to CIC.”
“I have been twice now and both times the food was great. The view is outside is gorgeous btw. Now as for the food the menu is a variety of dishes themed from different parts of the world. It honestly doesn’t matter what you get it’s going to be delicious. If it’s on the menu when you go I highly recommend the Georgian flatbread, the bao buns, the chorreadas, or the cachapas!”
“We had a great time and had delicious food! Our waiter Trey was amazing!”
“My friends and I had a fantastic time indulging in multiple rounds of Lemon Drop Martinis, along with delicious appetizers like cornbread and wings, followed by a delightful dinner. Our server was exceptional, making the evening even more special as we celebrated my friend's birthday. To our surprise, they treated my friend to a complimentary glass of Prosecco adorned with a birthday candle. We couldn't resist sharing our entrees, which included smoked brisket meatballs, pan-roasted shrimp, and fried catfish, all of which were incredibly tasty. The portions were generous enough for sharing, and the fried catfish was simply the best we've ever tasted, prompting us to order some to take home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a cozy evening with friends or family!”

“We had a private dinner served to us by the 2 partners of Tulsi. They came to Vinnie and Rebecca’s beautiful yard and gave us a cooking experience we will all never forget. They cooked up some speciality meals that were perfect. Chicken, fresh vegetables from the gardens, very spicy mushrooms and of course nam . Everything was perfect! Please go to Tulsi and tell them we sent you!!”

“We’ve had phenomenal meals, drinks, and service here. We’ve also had underwhelming experiences on all counts here, including our most recent visit. Service here is typically stellar but last week it took 20 minutes to be greeted by our server once seated, and then another 20 after ordering drinks to receive those. This was at 8 pm on Wednesday night when they were not overly busy. My husband’s pasta was very undercooked and the sauce was just OK. My fish was fine but it’s the only main on their menu that someone who is gluten sensitive and avoids red meat (and the fish is served on rice with sausage) can have. So despite an often changing menu, this fact never seems to change. We’ll almost certainly go back and try again but do wish their hits outnumbered their misses.”

“Caught up with an old friend I hadn’t seen since around ’95/’96 over lunch on 6/17/2025. I’m not usually a downtown Richmond person—city crowds just aren’t my thing—but I’m really glad he suggested this spot. I made the drive from King William, and it was absolutely worth it! The food was fantastic, and the laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect place to reconnect. I had the pork carnitas with a Caesar side salad—super flavorful, and the pork was incredibly tender. The Caesar dressing? Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I’d love to know if it was homemade or store-bought, because I need it in my life! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxed and cool meeting spot. I’m already planning to explore more RIC gems soon!”
“What a gem! We had the currywurst and a hot Italian sausage with mushrooms and cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. salad was refreshing and perfectly dressed. One of the best meals I have ever had. We were even able to get some packaged meat to go. The staff were so helpful and kind. Get one of everything!”

“Food was outstanding, from the Cobia special to the rhubarb hand pie. Excellent food would highly recommend”
“What a spectacular find! We are out of towners and made a reservation about a week in advance so it was easy to get a spot and we were seated right away. The food is next level and so are the drinks. We shared a tomato and steak tartare for appetizer that was 10/10. I had the Beef Swellington and my wife had the lamb with dumplings. Both were 11/10. Dessert was unbelievable too. The only 'but' is that, being new to the area, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy and we had to park a couple of blocks away. It's ignorant bias, I'm sure, and we felt perfectly safe. It's just that it did not feel like it was on a super curated touristy area. We'll be back for sure. Many times.”

“My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience here! He got the elderflower spritz and I got a sangria. We also ordered a few tapas (started digging in before snapping a photo because it all looked too good)! Everything was absolutely delicious. Drinks were perfectly made, the presentation of the food was beautiful, and service was outstanding! Perfect spot for a date night or just grabbing drinks and tapas with friends!! Will be back for sure!”

“Dear Emilia and Chef Joe, (a letter of thanks for a recent evening event for 62 ladies of The Fan Woman's Club) You and your staff have earned our highest admiration and gratitude in making The Tasting Supper an overwhelming success. This was truly a night sans pareil for all members of the Fan Women’s Club. You curated a seasonal menu elevated by quality farm-to-table ingredients with a combination of extraordinary flavors; crafted a French 75 that could rival the original; your staff provided impeccable and seamless service; and your restaurant gave us an intimate and jovial venue in which to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have no doubt you’ll be seeing members of the Fan Women’s Club as regular diners in the months and years to come.”
“I was so hungry that I didn't take pics of my food. The choice was to go here or some steakhouse place. I was intrigued by the menu and the possiblity of some new flavor experiences. Our server was Elliott, she was great. Knowledgeable, funny, and told us what Trouvaille meant ...lucky find. And it lived up to that. I had a mocktail, it was pretty good. As a person who loves wine and on a break, I needed something to give me the vibe of having a drink but not really having it. Anyhoooo, we had the cauliflower appetizer. It was a variety of textures and flavors that went so well together. It was crispy, the black bean puree was unexpectedly good with the flavor of curry and pickled shallots. We both ordered the braised short ribs. Today was the first time I have had kimchi and it didn't disappoint. There was a fair amount of ginger and whatever else pickled. The crispy rice was great, I wanted more. For the star, the short rib...fork tender. Amazing flavor. This dish is served in a bowl and it's cool for me because I literally could get a bite of everything at once. It was amazing. Everything was very fresh. I'd go back. We also got there before 5 and there was no wait which was great for an early date. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something new.”
“🇮🇳 Girls Indian lunch date🇮🇳 - Newly opened (Dec ‘22) restuarant serving modern indian cuisines - Beautifully decorated atmosphere - Delicious food w/ even a twist of a warm avocado/coconut patty option on the appetizer menu! - Friendly staff and restuarant manager - Immaculate restrooms”
“On 08/03/2022, my wife and I brought our cousins here to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The food and service was excellent. Our waiter was Sean. HOWEVER, during the reservation process, I was asked at least twice if there was a celebration and if so what type. I indicated on both occasions that it was a anniversary. I just assumed that when I was asked about the occasion that this occasion would somehow be acknowledged. It wasn't. (Happy anniversary). I heard the waiter at the table next to ours wish the celebrants a happy anniversary. Also, based on other reviews on this site, I noticed that a dessert was given to the celebrants as a memento. Not to our party. As I said, the service and food were excellent but missing the little "happy anniversary" left me and my wife feeling a little empty.”
“Staff was super friendly went in to have some oysters with the family food was extremely fresh cocktails were amazing absolutely on my hit list to return amazing job from the server to the chef's behind the bar thank you all so much hope to see you all agin soon!!!!”

“Tbh, I recommend everything! We met her at NuVegan about two weeks ago, and was thoroughly impressed! She had samples that inspired us to buy about five products. But wait, we ordered (sea moss & brownies) yesterday, and she delivered by hand today, all the way from Richmond to Newport News!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Try it, you’ll love it!”
“first I’d like to say the waitress me and my wife had was very friendly and service was exceptional the night shift crew has the best service we’ve ever experienced and they are hilarious our waitress we didn’t catch her name but she was light skin and curvy her and the light skin man with the beard they were picking light fun at the chef and it makes us feel like a place that’s very family oriented and special and a good vibe all around .. but to the point me and my wife ordered a all star and they were absolutely delicious ! Everything we asked for cooked to perfection and quality was amazing we will be continuing to come back here for years to come and showing love to the night shift !!!!!!!”
“I hope this is the one on Belt Blvd. Food was good. I did go in and ask for fresh hash browns and the person cooking said those had just come up but they were not the temperature I wanted them to be. I don't understand why when you say you want fresh food they just don't give it to you. You are the one who is paying them. Just get on my nerves”
“I went here with my family recently and really enjoyed our dinner! A cute & comfortable spot for a delicious meal. I would suggest making a reservation ahead of time.”
“Local gem with incredible food and a super friendly owner and staff! I regularly order food from the deli. This place is amazing! One of the best steak subs in Richmond (made with Halal steak and organic local ingredients), and at a price you can’t beat with their Monday and Tuesday special! They also have a lot of delicious, hard to find items in their grocery section. I highly recommend you check this place out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great BBQ and the best homemade cheese fries. So delicious! and well-seasoned! I brought dinner home for my kids and they were thrilled. Can’t wait to visit and sit down for a meal!Can't beat the service as they're all so friendly! Need to make it a regular stop!”
“My pop came through town about two weeks ago. He said he wanted to grab lunch. I work nearby, and knew he loves a good burger. I was concerned because my mother (who loves cooking, loves learning new recipes, but has her classics and go-to’s, makes his burgers) would never hear the end of it, if the meal was awesome. Well. I was right. So my mom and my pops came to town and wanted to have dinner, with me and my partner. After politely asking us recommendations and subtly dodging each place my partner and I mentioned. My mom asks, “Where did you take Daddy for lunch?” We ended up hanging out and chatting while the staff started to close up. Great food. Every time. Great fast friendly service. Every time. Need a restaurant that your parents like to get them to visit? (Probably not) but THANK YOU, EAZZY BURGER!”
“Front counter staff is friendly and quick and if you've been there, you've likely met the owner, Olaf. He takes great care of his guests. The place is super clean with tons of seating. Clearly, everyone has found out about it because it's busier every time I go—and I almost always run into someone I know. But there's still plenty of seating. High-quality coffee and food, great atmosphere, and you're supporting a local small business.”
“Ist time customer- Ordered from DoorDash and I'll definitely order from this restaurant again. The Steamed Pork Bun has a nice flavor and the bun was soft but firm like it should be. The Steamed Veggie Bun was very tasty. The filling for that is like eating the filling of a veg eggroll. Both of the above buns were perfectly steamed! The Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings were my fave- so yummy, juicy, and just a great flavor. I would have liked a variety of sauce options instead of the same dipping sauce for the buns & dumplings to jazz things up a bit, but this was a really nice dining experience. Pretty traditional in terms of the sauce. The site is not allowing me to post pics with this review but the filling was pretty generous in both buns as well as in the dumplings. The Chicken Soup was just ok- it's missing a little something, maybe just needs some seasoning.”
“This place is such a vibe!!! Customer service was amazing! She patiently listened as I asked all of my questions concerning my allergies. Beet Box just happens to be right next to my AirBNB!!! Soooo I’ll definitely be in here again before I leave…and next time I’m in RVA!”
“Absolutely phenomenal experience at CHIC’N CRAVE in Petersburg! I placed a large order just 30 minutes before closing—four chicken sandwiches, a 20-piece chicken tender meal, and their amazing honey biscuits—and everything was fresh, hot, and made to order. That kind of care and quality, especially so close to closing time, really impressed me. The food? Top-tier. The chicken sandwiches were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the tenders were juicy with a golden crunch. But the honey biscuits stole the show—soft, buttery, and just the right touch of sweetness. What really stood out, though, was the service. The owner personally greeted me with a warm welcome, and you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality and pride in both food and service. If you're in Petersburg or just passing through, CHIC’N CRAVE on North Sycamore Street is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!”
“This was my favorite food in Richmond for breakfast/lunch. The people are friendly and patient with questions. The space is warm and inviting, but room for quiet work or reading too. And OMG! the food. I ordered it 3x in 5 days, including some to take home. Don’t miss this gem!”
“This place is one of the best restaurants in Richmond hands down!!!! #crispyporkbelly❤️”

“Hoy por primera vez desayuné en este local. Fui en compañía de dos amigas y el servicio fué excelente. Todo el staff fué muy amable, el local estaba muy limpio, la comida es exquisita y los precios muy accesibles. Espero tener la oportunidad de regresar nuevamente.”
“lokeman’s Best wings are the best! I have nothing bad to say about this spot! Every time I come there, they are clean, polite and i never have anything wrong with my order. The wait time is never bad , and. the two guys who are typically up front are really cool and helpful.With 30 different flavors, you can’t go wrong ( in my opinion, go for the 24 karat wings. They are 🔥 )”
“The food truck outside was superb. Food was beyond of this world”
“Great place to grab good food and great margaritas, Grant and Sam were amazing!!”

“My brother and me attended the club on saturday 9-07-24 we both enjoyed the atmosphere and the customer service with the 2 ladies there at the earliest time we're very nice and polite. We both had vip sessions with the dancers and which of course becky did an amazing job on the stripper pole and as well while she offered her 15 minute private session with me.. This visit will be remembered, especially since it was 20 years since I ever walked into a place such as this location.. Thank you Becky ?”
“I'm familiar with the chef, and his food is impeccable. The new menu debuted tonight, and supporting this business was absolutely worth it. Great service and an excellent place for gatherings.”
“We tried Burtons tonight for my wife's birthday, and couldn't have been happier with out choice! The restaurant had a lively atmosphere - but felt really cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. From the calamari to steak and the lobster role, everything we had was delicious. A huge shout-out to our waiter, Robert, and Tristan, who made our dining experience fantastic!”
“My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience here! He got the elderflower spritz and I got a sangria. We also ordered a few tapas (started digging in before snapping a photo because it all looked too good)! Everything was absolutely delicious. Drinks were perfectly made, the presentation of the food was beautiful, and service was outstanding! Perfect spot for a date night or just grabbing drinks and tapas with friends!! Will be back for sure!”
Cheap Eats
“Sefton is the greatest cafe in richmond, the staff are so kind to everyone who comes in. I get the same thing every time I come in to the point where barista’s and the owners know my order 😂. I get it bc it’s easy on my stomach, but they have such an amazing looking menu and are always changing it to fit the season! I always make sure to bring friends and family who are visiting here because it really is a special part of the community 🙂”
“Terrific staff and beer as always. New set up is terrible. Nobody wants to have a full service brewery. Nobody wants to have to reserve a table. Please go back to original set up. let us sit where we want. order a beer when we want. If we want full service we will go to the restaurant side. This may work at the other locations, but Richmond isn't Charlottesville. This was our goto brewery, today's has us thinking differently now”
“This place checked almost all my boxes for brunch spots;a variety of Benny's, specialty cocktails especially ones with flowers, moonshine, and sparkling, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy; stuffed French toast, and avocado toast. Ambiance was great; the building is an old school movie theatre. Both the food and service we're amazing; Jessica was handling her business!”
“Absolutely friendly and wonderful staff, great food, and we witnessed a moment of humanity and kindness from a staff member I assume is the manager toward a woman who came in after us that nearly made me cry. The food is great and that’s reason enough to go back, but their mission of community support and visible and heartfelt recognition of the humanity of others in our community will have us going back again and again. Cannot wait to return! 15/10.”
“My absolutely favorite bubble tea, especially their house milk tea they make themselves. The slushes and fruit teas are also delicious and they've entertained a few custom drinks for us when we feel adventurous. Can't beat the price and location either, and the folks who run it are SO sweet. Love love love LOVE TT”
“Took my German client to this amazing restaurant and she was blissful! I’ve been many times and try to share this phenomenal dining experience with others whenever possible. High quality ingredients, all dishes are made to order and fresh and hot and delicious, generous portions and the bread is to die for! The server was delightful and so was the gentleman running the front. I can’t say enough good things! Go, enjoy!”
“We had a great meal with fantastic service. Will definitely be back.”
“This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. We were just driving through Richmond and decided to stop here for a bite. My husband had the brisket sandwich which he said was fantastic. I had the trainwrek that was so large and outstanding I couldn’t finish it and have leftovers. The food is fresh and has exquisite flavor! If I’m ever in Richmond again I will be returning.”
“Quality of the sushi was excellent. Service was adequate, waiter was quite friendly, but it took forever to receive our food. I would go back, but would only do so at a time when its not so busy.”

“We love their commitment to great food, their spirit of innovation, and the many gluten-free options they offer!”
“Absolutely fantastic service and food. From oysters, main course, and dessert...the meal was fabulous. I have several food allergies and the chef made a special meal for us on my birthday. Highly recommend! (side note: I dropped my napkin when stepping out to the powder room and the staff promptly had a fresh and folded one waiting upon return). Immaculate attention to detail and customer service 🙌”
“The food was absolutely amazing. The customer service was exceptional. The atmosphere was such a delight, very clean, very romantic the pricing that you paid for the amount of food you got was really great. It's so great to have this type of customer service stateside I felt like I was taking a trip just by visiting a restaurant, if you haven't been definitely put it on your bucket list a must experience”
“Staff was super friendly went in to have some oysters with the family food was extremely fresh cocktails were amazing absolutely on my hit list to return amazing job from the server to the chef's behind the bar thank you all so much hope to see you all agin soon!!!!”
“We had a great dinner! The staff was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious! Our waiter Joseph went out of his way to make sure the evening was perfect! Thanks again! We will be back soon!”
“Tonight was my first time in Botanya and it won’t be the last! The atmosphere was chill and welcoming. The food and drinks were fantastic. The staff were knowledgeable and had great recommendations! Thank you!”
“This place is top notch. Nothing but good bands, good drinks, and good people. What else could you ask for? Upstairs or downstairs, never a bad seat in the house. What a great show we just saw 9/19/2025”
“Our organization hosted a small (15ish) networking event in the side private-ish room at Blue Bee and it was PERFECT! Our folks felt so comfortable in the space (we had to kick them out at closing time!). Mackenzie and Taylor (owners) are wonderful to work with and I appreciated their friendly and responsive nature. I definitely recommend using Blue Bee if you have a small (15-25) event where you want people to connect while feeling cozy. Note: Their space accommodates more folks than we had, but we only used the side room for our event rather than the full venue (which is also available). We were having such a great time, we forgot to take photos!”
“Atmosphere was great and so was the food. I will go again.”
“Absolutely enjoyed trying Thai for the first time! The food was delicious! This will be my go to spot every time I'm in Richmond, VA.”
“Incredible drinks and tres leches. Food and service was amazing too. Only thing that was lacking was the cilantro rice. Will be back again though.”
“I’ve been 5 times to Hot Pot 757 Midlothian and it never disappoints. Most recently celebrated my husband’s birthday! The staff was so very attentive, plenty of food to choose from and upon ordering food would arrive table side in moments of ordering. And if you let them know it’s a birthday, the robot will sing to the birthday person!”
“First time at Edo’s last night. There was a couple walking up the stairs in front of us as we went in, and when we got to the door, a waitress said “I need that cup” and yanked it out of the woman’s hand as she walked off. She was the same waitress that sat us, but not who took our order. The waitress who took our order was extremely rude almost the entire time. A couple of times she brought food out and put it on our table AS she’s walking by. I stopped her once, to ask if we could have our bread warmed as it was cold. She barely stopped as she said “no.” And continued walking. The waitresses were rude and made me feel so uncomfortable with their terrible attitudes. Atmosphere is a little cramped but it was fine. The food was AMAZING though. It was really hot, and the pasta portions were GENEROUS.”
“My family and I took my Mother there for her 91st birthday. In all there were 14 of us. The staff took great care of us. We ordered from the brunch menu. Everyone one of us had a wonderful time. The food was tasty, chef (AJ) even came out to say Happy Birthday to his Grandmother! Several of us said we will return again. The dinner menu looks amazing I wanted to stay for dinner but I had to head home and I was too full from brunch. I wish Sweet P's much success!”
“First time. Very welcoming atmosphere. Hostesses & wait staff very attentive. Minimal wait time for drinks & food. Will be back.”
“fabulous food, great flavors, excellent service, and a fun place to eat and relax. we all loved it.”
“Just enjoyed a great meal! My fav is the Greek gyro bowl! But my hubs loves lamb gyro- it’s huge! Everything is so fresh and good! 5 star@bellgreekvillage”
“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.”
“Absolutely delicious!! This is definitely the best Indian place that I've tried in Richmond and possibly the best chicken korma I've ever tasted! The great food combined with a incredibly friendly staff makes Bajra a place I will come back to again and again.”
“Hands down one of the best whiskey experiences so far. From the selection of whiskey to the knowledge of the bartenders Nick and Brian, this will be somewhere we keep coming back to. The food was delicious. We had the wings, cornbread, brisket and fries. The brisket can compete with bbq places that focus solely on bbq. The service of Nick and Brian show how passionately they care about whiskey and the experience of the customer. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and taste a huge selection of whiskey.”
“We ate at La Grotta for the first time last night. It will be the first of many! The service, food, and ambiance were spectacular. We were a party of 3 and each of us cleaned our plates. Our friend with Celiac could choose from almost the entire menu which is unheard of, especially at an Italian restaurant. If you're looking for a truly delicious meal, you'll find it at La Grotta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.”
“Not bad at all, the food was decent but a little pricy, I’ve heard a lot of good things about pinky’s and I agree with most that has been said. Definitely worth trying.”
“Excellent pastrami, great people, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. The owner and staff are amazing - you can tell they care deeply about creating a warm, community-focused space. I love coming here with my family and bringing friends along - it never disappoints.”
“Fantastic. You can tell the chef and waitstaff care about the quality.”
“We have been here a couple of times and it is without a doubt the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in RVA! The restaurant is attractive and spotlessly clean. The staff is professional and friendly.”
“The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that left us satisfied. We enjoyed our appetizer the roasted oysters! We decided to order the 14 ounce Dry Aged ribeye with perfectly cooked red potatoes for our main course. The entree was accompanied by a caramelized onion steak sauce. The ambiance was lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.”
“I’ve been wanting to come to this brewery for a few years now and it definitely lives up to expectations. Friendly staff, delicious beer, and lovely decor. Will definitely be back!!”
“Awesome restaurant with the best food I’ve ever eaten. The serving portions were large, hot, scrumptious tasting, and home cooked….it was unbelievable. You must go there, I guarantee you will return again and again. The quaint facility was serene with a very warm atmosphere. The staff was impeccable.”
“One of the best culinary experiences in my life. You are missing a journey of the tastebuds. Sweet, earth notes with a range of spiciness if you so choose. The people that own this restaurant are the salt of the earth. They help the community beyond just making wonderful food.”
“Fun cocktail bar and a perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink (dinner was across the street at the Roosevelt). Had THE BEST piña colada and the bar staff were extremely friendly and kind. 10/10 would return.”
“The bacon wrapped scallops are wonderful. The chicken pot pie was the best I have ever had. My compliments to the Chef �”
“Hands down some of the BEST food I have ever had. As for Indian, best Indian I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend!! We will be back to try many other items.”
“Great service. I love a restaurant that care about their guest, especially the ones with certain food allergies. Trio also have a nice atmosphere”
“OMG!!!! I love soup , especially Wonton and I had exactly that. That was the best flavor explosion 💥 that I’ve ever had. The broth, the perfect wonton, the delicious oversized noodles 🍜, vegetables. I could go on and on.”
“The restaurant was very nice. The setting, the ambience. We made reservations which were a good thing because they ended up having so many walk ins. The waiter Addy helped me order the lamb chops. They came out & were completely raw. She apologize immensely & the manager came out to speak with me & apologized. He ended up taking it off my bill which was very nice of him. By the time they brought out my recooked plate, i was already full off of bread & water. I ended up eating one lamb chop which was indeed scrumptious. I boxed the rest of my food to enjoy at home. Service was great, food was great. I just wished i could have enjoyed it right then & there. Can't wait to go back!”
“The food and staff are AMAZING! My kids had never had Ethiopian food before, and they loved it!”
“Found this gem while looking for a brewery that was open early on a Sunday, and had food. Mostly indoor seating, but it's a lovely space looking into the brewery. Staff was excellent in explaining the brewery history, the beers and the food. We ordered all the apps and enjoyed them all. Then we got a little creative and ordered the chicken strips to tear up and put on their mushroom pizza, as they don't offer additional proteins or toppings. Both were excellent. Only downfall was parking, but we did see something down the alley that may have been for the brewery.”
“We were there on a night when there was a show close by. The place was packed and incredibly noisy. However, when it was near time for the show to start, the crowd mostly cleared out, and the 6 of us at our table were able to hear each other much better. Our waitress was attentive, and the food was great. We would come back!”
“What can I say about this Firebirds in Richmond? Amazing food, service, ambiance and the manager Liliana even came by to make sure everything was perfect. Definitely coming back soon.”
“My husband, family, and I dined here on Saturday evening after traveling from the DC/Maryland area, and I must say—everything was perfect. From the warm welcome at the front desk to our amazing server, EJ, the experience was top-tier. EJ was friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable with great food recommendations. The manager was also extremely hands-on and attentive. And let me add—the bathroom was clean (a big pet peeve of mine), so that was a definite plus!
Our food was delicious from start to finish—starters, entrées, and drinks.
Starters:
• Fried okra – delicious
• Greens and chicken egg rolls – delicious
Husband:
• Turkey wings with gravy & onions, mac and cheese, fries, and cabbage – excellent
• He wasn’t a fan of the cabbage, but it was quickly swapped for sweet potatoes, which were also excellent
Me:
• Fried fish (3), rice with gravy, and greens – excellent
• I wasn’t a fan of the greens
Family:
1. Salmon cakes, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes – excellent
2. Turkey wings with gravy & onions, rice with gravy, and greens – delicious (not a fan of the rice with gravy)
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to return. Kudos to the manager and the entire staff for such a wonderful experience!”
“First time visit but certainly not the last. Highly recommend. Superior food and drink 🍹”
“We had the best dinner with the greatest waitress and superb cocktails this weekend! Thanks for the tremendous experience!”
“I do not like using the words “cheap eats” for Birmie’s. It makes their wonderful food sound inferior! Their food is always delicious! Reasonably Priced!”

“It has been noted in my circles that customer service at McDonald's in the area has been deteriorating. This location is the exception. They are invariably cheerful, friendly, and helpful. Janiah (sp) helped us this last time and was exceptionally wonderful! She deserves a raise! Keep up the good work! It makes a difference in a person's day.”
“My friend and I went for lunch today at Lulabelles, the food was delicious. We had a $20 gift certificate to put towards a $36 bill and gave our server a $20 tip which seemed to be quite generous. Barely offend you that she whisked what was left on our table away, then returned a couple of minutes later to rather abruptly tell us that they had reservations coming in on the next half hour, the implication being that we had best get out of there. I have worked with the public all of my life, and I know there is a way to communicate, she needs to learn it. I only wish we had our $20 back!”
“Definitely 5 stars! Me and my daughter went for brunch, a pitcher of Mimosas and the best breakfast I've ever had. My daughter ordered the biscuits and gravy. They were so good, almost like a she-crab bisque flavor gravy-absolutely wonderful. I ordered the chicken biscuit, was also wonderful, the hot honey with the fresh homemade Bisquit was so flavorful. No wait to be seated, the waitstaff was very friendly. Definitely recommend and definitely will go back!”
“I had the pleasure of having a surprise party for my wife's 50th Birthday on 3/16/2024. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing job Ron Stallings and The Speakeasy/Hippodrome staff did for my party. The food was DELICIOUS!! The service was prompt and professional. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The final product truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a venue for an event.”
“Had Nachos there this evening. Really generous portion size (probably better for 2 people). The brisket (which they smoke in house) was very smokey & tasty, they don't skimp on the brisket either. I enjoyed the mole & the really fresh cilantro & greens on top. Friendly waitstaff, and the Bear is cool. :) Highly recommend.”
“We've been going across town to the Broad Street location for years, but live in Midlothian. We were so happy when they told us they were opening up a sister location in Chesterfield, just 7 minutes from Midlothian! We were NOT disappointed! The place was packed, yet we were seated, offered drinks, asked about ordering, and receiving our food all in a very timely manner. And, just like the other location, the food was sooooo tasty! My apologies to the Broad Street location, but I'll probably eat here more than there.”

“Last minute date night plan and we enjoyed every moment. Justin our waiter was very attentive and made sure we got the cuts that we wanted as soon as possible. He did a good job explaining the specials and checking in on us to make sure we didn't need any additional sides. Food and atmosphere along with the staff were all great. Will be back!”
“First time eating here. The decor and ambiance was great. The vibe was good. Our waitress Kelly was awesome. The food was DELICIOUS & portions were hearty! There is outdoor dining with heat lamps and fireplace. We ate inside and got to watch the bartender work his magic. The drinks were delish too! Overall, this little gem is too good to miss!”
“This was our first time here. Though it was a little pricey, the food was delicious. We had the rockfish special, shrimp and grits, 1 bowl of clam chowder and 2 ice teas. Cost 105.00$ Yikes! Our server, Madison was absolutely tops. I suggest you ask for her. She was on top of things and answered all of our questions. She was perfection! We would come back🙂”

“This is an Amazing place to dine, took my fiancé there bc she loves pizza; walked in and got hit by the smell of pizza baking, while my eyes went quickly to the display case full of real Italian desserts, clearly made with the one ingredient most places are missing these days, Love. As we sat enjoying a slice of pepperoni pizza waiting on our order as its being handmade in front of our eyes; giving us quite the experience; when the incredible owner walked in with the biggest smile on his face. He engaged with us, allowed us to try some of his amazing real Italian desserts! As soon as he told us he had Real Italian Made Gelato we knew we had to get some; he let us try every flavor and described the flavors we would be experiencing...the flavors were amazing and we ended up taking his suggestion for a slice of Pistachio Chocolate Mousse Cake with Pistachio Gelato and it tasted like heaven in our mouths! It Gets The Chefs Kiss; absolutely recommend everyone to stop in get a slice or pie, try the pastries, try the cakes, don't forget the Real Italian Gelato! Nino's has the most important ingredients for your flavor pallet to fall in love with; So head on over to Nino's, make your night easier by grabbing a couple plus pizzas to take home to your family! You won't regret it, My fiancee says it The BEST Pizza Since Moving From North East Pennsylvania!”
“My family and I took my Mother there for her 91st birthday. In all there were 14 of us. The staff took great care of us. We ordered from the brunch menu. Everyone one of us had a wonderful time. The food was tasty, chef (AJ) even came out to say Happy Birthday to his Grandmother! Several of us said we will return again. The dinner menu looks amazing I wanted to stay for dinner but I had to head home and I was too full from brunch. I wish Sweet P's much success!”
“This place is AMAZING!! Such a cool fun theme and vibe. The coffee was excellent and the breakfast croissants! The photoshoot backdrop was epic My whole crew had the best time. The owners and staff are so friendly and accommodating. I will def be back and tell all my friends about it. Love supporting small businesses! Go check em out. They’re top tier. And funny to boot”
“Excellent pastrami, great people, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. The owner and staff are amazing - you can tell they care deeply about creating a warm, community-focused space. I love coming here with my family and bringing friends along - it never disappoints.”
“Hands down the best breakfast potatoes I’ve had in a looooooooong time, plus everyone in our group (kids included) liked everything they got. They’ve only been open for a few weeks, which you can tell from the friendly, but rather disjointed service. It’s awesome to have options other than popsicle and hot dog trucks along this part of the river.”
“In the words of my 11 year-old nephew: " If this is how British people eat everyday, then they must be in heaven." Out of the mouth of babes. All In all i am very happy. Fish was tasty and crisp. Chips were perfect. Mushy peas were great. and the sticky toffee pudding was everything I have been searching for. 5 stars”
“Best street style tacos in Richmond. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. They have a hot sauce bar, the drinks are really good and the vibes authentic. Nelson did a great job with branding inside the restaurant, staff is friendly and be sure to try the local Mosto tequila. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican this is the spot.”
“After reading all the great reviews, I wanted to check this place out... and I wasn't disappointed! It's a quaint, little onigiri shop with a very friendly & welcoming atmosphere. There are so many Japanese touches everywhere for those eating inside at their limited seating & those ordering to go. The selection was simple - mostly Japanese rice balls with various types of fillings for everyone to find something you'd like. I highly recommend the spicy tuna if you can handle some spice, but two onigiri are just right to be filling for a simple lunch. I can't wait to stop by for some more rice balls the next time I'm in the area!”
“WOW WOW WOW. I have stumbled upon the BEST barbecue I have ever had. I enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork, Christmas beans, and smash & cheese (5 cheese) macaroni and cheese. Princess enjoyed the brisket. The meats were smoked to perfection. The sides were out of this world. The relish and sauces were superb. For my birthday they gave me a cupcake and hot off the smoker pork belly. The atmosphere was casual and relaxing. Soul music was playing as me enjoyed my birthday lunch. The staff was outstanding ... so friendly. I felt like I was eating with family. This is now my go to place for barbecue. Give it a try ... you will not be disappointed.”
