“Well researched food, solidly composed cocktails, and a warm interior make The Roosevelt one of the most talked about restaurants in RVA currently. Chef Leah is as much a researcher as she is a good chef. Being a long time food writer who has been on assignment in many kitchens, its no surprise to me that Leah has carved out a reputation for herself in Richmond recently. She sources a lot from local farmers, adheres often to seasonal common sense, and takes inspiration from her reading and research on Soul Food, Southern food, and Virginia food. I wouldn't classify prices at The Roosevelt as cheap but also wouldn't classify them as extravagant either. Marketed by many as a "neighborhood spot" I always see The Roosevelt as a great date night spot, particularly for those who might fancy themselves foodies. Congrats to Leah and The Roosevelt on their recent James Beard nod. In my opinion, well deserved.”
“Tabbi was awesome. She was super attentive and she didn’t stop moving, cleaning, organizing and checking in with people the whole time I was there. She’s a rockstar employee!!”
“Phenomenal flavors paired together for sweet and savory dishes. Unique menu options they change regularly! So yummy 😋”
“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!”

“Absolutely Phenomenal! We cannot thank the team at Grapevine enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every single way, and we are so incredibly grateful. The food was absolutely delicious! We received countless compliments from our guests, but what they raved about just as much was the staff. Our guests could not stop talking about how incredibly nice, helpful, and amazing the servers and bartenders were. They brought such a warm, positive energy to our celebration and made sure everyone was taken care of. What blew us away even more was their incredible work ethic. Despite traveling 2 to 3 hours to get to our venue, the team arrived right on time and hit the ground running. When the night ended, they didn't just pack up and leave—they stayed to help with the cleanup. They left the kitchen absolutely spotless and made sure all the trash was taken out before they departed. If you are looking for a caterer that delivers stellar food, immaculate service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day seamless, look no further than Grapevine. They are worth every single penny and more! A massive, heartfelt thank you to Rita, who helped us every single step of the way. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Rita’s guidance, patience, and organization kept us at ease. She is truly a gem, and we couldn't have done this without her!”
“Made from scratch -- great food! Attractive interior and very kind waitress. Will 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.”

“These food is delicious they nailed el cubano sandwish with mojo pork and trust me,I’m Cuban. the vibe and customer service is top notch”
“Wonderful wraps, fatayers, baklava, etc! Friendly and kind faces and great food! Will be back!”
“I love carytown tea. I Iive in RI so only get to come in when I am visiting my daughter in Chester. I was there yesterday with my daughter buying tea. We always get treated so well. Thank you Carytown tea. Your teas are amazing.”
“Excelente comida y mejor servicio al cliente”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”

“As soon as we know we're going to be in the area, we snag a reservation! I love the fried olives and talked to the chefs about how to make them at home. We are always happy with the in house pasta. This time we had the octopus carpaccio which was fabulous. The tiramisu was a wonderful finish to a memorable meal🤩”

“Go early if you don’t have a reservation. Be prepared for gastronomical delight. Take friends who will let you try what they ordered. Order both of the desserts. Service is impeccable, faster than you’d think. Incredible ambiance. I have a feeling you’ll never see the same menu twice. Incredible service, flavors, ambiance. Don’t miss this gem in Chimborazo. Thank you Bree for a great night and fantastic service.”
“Every time we are in Richmond, my husband ensures that we stop by to grab a meal. EACH AND EVERY TIME!!!!! Great food and I absolutely LOVE the desserts.”
“Great experience last night. The food was amazing and the service was friendly. My ribeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Pork belly was on point.”

“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!”

“I am struggling to write this review because everything about this experience was so stupid-good that I am at a loss for words.
The service? Stupendous. The food? I literally cried a little bit when it was gone. The vibe? Impeccable. Come as you are, as long as “you are” means you want to enjoy glorious seafood.
Here’s what I will do on my next visit:
1. Book an early reservation, say 4pm. Lay waste to the happy hour menu. I’m talking $1 oysters, $30 bottles of vino verde. Grab a ceviche that will make you doubt every ceviche you have ever had to date. Eat some fat shrimp. Get a tin of tuna belly with cocktails - and ask for suggestions; there are some thoughtful and magical pairings to enjoy.
2. Pay up and go for a walk.
3. Come back for your cleverly-arranged 7:00pm reservation. Do EVERYTHING. Order it AGAIN. Maybe skip the conserva and get dessert instead; the banana ice cream sundae was calling my name. Doesn’t matter, just make sure you do this experience twice in one night.
4. Do you have the intestinal fortitude to repeat steps 2 and 3? I do not, but I would respect the heck out of anyone who can. You do you.”
“Importante Bodega Bar accommodated my organization when we were in a pinch for space and I couldn’t have been more delighted with their hospitality and food. Their waitstaff was gracious, the manager was so personable, and their event coordinator was on point. But I can’t say enough good things about the food. Everyone took some to go because we couldn’t let that deliciousness go to waste. Even my picky 17 month old loved the left overs I brought home! Their margarita was also phenomenal. Seriously 10/10. Will be back!”
“Finally back to peak performance!! After covid I felt the food was just ok but last night everything was delicious!! I loved that they actually had some new things in the menu too! The escargot was the item I was hoping would be back to snuff and it didn't disappoint!! The people were a lot more friendly than in the ‘old days' too. Our waitress was especially awesome. I will def go back now!”

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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 !!!!!!!”
“Love it. Great food and fun people. I highly suggest. Even my own magic bunny (Conejo) loves the food here.”
“We had two of the specials tonight - lamb stew and salmon. Delicious and bountiful meals and wonderful desserts (as always).”

“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!”
“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!”
“Everyone was really friendly, helpful, and attentive upon entering and ordering. We each got the Lil Cease, and it was absolutely delicious! Not cheap, but not too expensive either for the quality of ingredients and good sized wrap. They also have a rewards system, so that's pretty cool! Great option for vegetarians, since the whole menu is meat-free and I believe, vegan, too!!”
“My wife wanted something to eat and my co worker told me Slay Burger’s Turkey burgers are really good. So I order her the turkey burger with onion rings and she loved it. Burger grilled perfectly and onion rings were a hit! Brownie points secured! Thank you 😊 Slay Burgers!”
“Local gem with incredible food and a super friendly owner and staff! I regularly order food from the deli. This place is amazing!

“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.”
“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.”

“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 is the 3nd time coming here and as I had mentioned the last 2 times.....it did not disappoint! We order our favorite flavor Honey Garlic Crispy and crunchy as always and this time we got the Dumplings and Rose’ Ddeok-Bokki. Both were AMAZING! We order way more than last time and had plenty left for lunch the next day. The lady was so sweet and they are always very kind. Cant wait to go again.”

“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!”
“Food was outstanding, from the Cobia special to the rhubarb hand pie. Excellent food would highly recommend”

“🇮🇳 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”
“We have been to Perry’s short pump many times and always enjoy the food and service. Tonight we went for our anniversary and they made it so special with rose petals on the table and a complimentary dessert. The best part was wonderful food and exceptional service from our server Sydney. We also appreciate their management always checking in with the guests. Wonderful evening!”
“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!”
“We came in for galaxy con this past weekend and I ran by this place on the open table app to get a Saturday reservation. Place had great reviews and i loved the pictures so I wanted to give it a try. I was very impressed! My husband and son loved their food. I had an issue with the first thing I ordered being too spicy so they nicely took it back and had me order something else. The burger was delicious ! They then took both meals off my tab for me for the inconvenience . Great service and will be back! Oh and the rooftop area is beautiful!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Not only the best vegan joint I’ve been to but also my longest supported local business in the state for over a year. The menu might be small but they heavily prioritize quality over quantity. If you’re looking for restaurant quality vegan fast food that’s authentically crafted, then this is the place for you. I cannot recommend this place. Try a cash wrap or a breakfast burrito here and you’ll be in love in no time.”
“We had the best dinner with the greatest waitress and superb cocktails this weekend! Thanks for the tremendous experience!”
“Food was wonderful!!!! One of the top restaurants in RVA!”
“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.”

“Super tough acoustics here make it hard to have a conversation and we had to yell to be heard. Otherwise absolutely delicious bouillabaisse but we had to head elsewhere for a nightcap to actually catch up.”
“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!”
“Atmosphere was great and so was the food. I will go again.”

“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.”
“fabulous food, great flavors, excellent service, and a fun place to eat and relax. we all loved it.”
“I do want to give a shout out to the manager Erin she was excellent very customer friendly and our lunch was excellent”
“We love their commitment to great food, their spirit of innovation, and the many gluten-free options they offer!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I would say this was one of the most convienently located sushi spots (downtown). Maybe on a slightly pricier side.
Definitely great service the waiter was attentive but not intrusive.
Food was delicious and the decorations were very nice (im a big anime fan)”
“This a is very nice place for family night out. The food and drinks are delicious. There always entertainment of some sort. The owners are personal and friendly. I just love the warm loving atmosphere.”
“First time visit, excellent service and the food was delicious!!!”
“Sunny lunch spot with generous sandwiches and breakfast options. Potato chips were slightly stale. Drinks were small and refills were provided but with a frown. Self serve Jug of water and glasses provided, water was room temp.”
“This place is one of the best restaurants in Richmond hands down!!!! #crispyporkbelly❤️”
“We had an early Christmas Eve dinner at The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing. It was one of the best meals that we have had in Richmond. The atmosphere was delightful, enhanced by the duo playing holiday music; the food was excellent (as usual) but what made this a truly wonderful dining experience was the service. Our server, Trinity, was upbeat, efficient, and most of all really seemed to care if we were having a good meal. Without being intrusive, she checked on us several times to be sure we were doing ok. She is absolutely outstanding!”
“Brunch and entertainment 💯💯💓💓💓🙌🙌 A time was definitely had…. Loved every minute of it.”
“This place is awesome! Great service, great food. My go-to every time I’m in Richmond.”
“I stopped in for my first visit today and ordered a plain pizza. It was outstanding!! I grew up in Jersey with a pizza joint on every corner. This place would fit right in. I'll be back, I really enjoyed it. It's the little thing in life.💪🍕”
“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.”
“My husband and I enjoyed an early Christmas dinner with our son and his girlfriend on 12/01/24. Service, entrees and wine were all extraordinary. Such a gem of a place. We can’t wait to visit again soon.”
“Service was amazing. Jarred was very informative and pleasant. Checked on us numerous times, making sure we were well taking care of”
“We had a great meal with fantastic service. Will definitely be back.”
“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!”
“Food was awesome! Waitress didn’t have a pen and our orders were all wrong three times . She had to keep returning to kitchen to correct the orders. Food couldn’t have been better, however we couldn’t eat together without the food. I love the butter and garlic seasoning.”
“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”
“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.”
“This was our first time here and Brazen did not disappoint! The dishes were creatively delicious. Even our one non-adventurous diner was pleased. This was a win, so we hope to be back.”
“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.”
“First time visit but certainly not the last. Highly recommend. Superior food and drink 🍹”
“This is a delightful space! The customer services was excellent, delicious drinks, wonderful ambience. They also host trivia on Sundays which was a ton of fun. We'll definitely be back!”
“I've seen dozens of shows here and you can't beat the intimate setting Canal Club provides. Tickets are inexpensive and drinks are priced reasonably (at least compared to other venues I frequent)”
“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!”
“Fantastic. You can tell the chef and waitstaff care about the quality.”
“Maybe I need to try dine in. I've seen great reviews. I ordered the salmon saag to go, mild. There could be more salmon in it, but it is very tasty. A larger portion would have been nice to have a second meal or to share. The order was ready to go when I arrived and pleasantly handed over. No utensils, and perhaps that should be asked about in their ordering system. I was going straight home so it wasn't an issue but just wanted to let others know to ask for it if needed. I won't grade on atmosphere. It didn't look fancy like Jannat, but it's conveniently located to Firehouse Theater and I will be back.”

“Tabasum was our server and she was phenomenal. She was extremely attentive and remembered our drink + food order perfectly. She checked up on us after we were served to make sure we had what we needed. She’s a waitress who does her job very well!”
“Great food & had an amazing server who wore cool glasses with a personality to match. I only knocked down a star because of the automatic gratuity. Besides that, I would definitely come back.”
“Beautiful restaurant with intimate atmosphere. The staff is a little self-serious but it's fine dining so yeah. Great wine options and food specials. Come here if you can't get a seat at L'Opposum.”
“Bread and calamari were marvelous. I would know, I’m part Italian! 🇮🇹 On top of that they didn’t judge me for underdressing. Bravo! If only this place wasn’t only open in the evening.”
“One of our favorite cideries! Nice to have really good ones in your home town. We're members of their cider club and were there for a club event - cider cocktails. Excellent presentation by Kenzie with very creative cider based interpretations of popular cocktails. Great ciders, great events, great facilities, and great folks! Recently began carrying a variety of local wines (for those who just can't break the habit....). Highly recommend these unique craft cider makers.”
“The bacon wrapped scallops are wonderful. The chicken pot pie was the best I have ever had. My compliments to the Chef �”

“Incredible food 🥰🌮 The staff and owner are super friendly & helpful especially when you have food allergies or sensitivities! I cant even!! Highly recommend 🙏🏽”
“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!”
“If you are into beer this is the answer. Seriously though, they make incredible beers, BUT they also have unbelievable guest taps. I mean the best of the best. Food is solid, but come for the beer. If you can’t find something on tap you love here you just aren’t trying very hard.”

I will come again and will dine in I was in a rush to go to work and the food come out fast I was not late to work which made happy”
“What's not to love about Stir Crazy? It's the ideal coffee shop. Nice, friendly neighborhood sort of place on MacArthur, very popular with all ages and for good reasons. The best thing about the place is the staff, they are just the greatest, every single one of them. I can't say enough good things about them. I'm a retired old fogey and I go there a lot; I am very comfortable there.”
“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!”
“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.”

“I cannot praise David enough for the phenomenal experience he provided us on August 9th. Our group of 7 unexpectedly grew to 11 people on a very busy night and the host handled the sudden change swiftly by getting us a new table. Even though our seating was a bit tight which was entirely our fault for the last minute headcount increase the staff accommodated us graciously and David made the whole evening feel effortless. What blew our minds is that David told us this was only his eighth day serving! As a table full of veteran food industry servers ourselves we were all utterly shocked because David carried himself and paced our meal like a seasoned pro with years of experience. He greeted us immediately kept our drinks and bread coming swiftly and read our table's energy with incredible emotional intelligence knowing exactly when to check in when we needed more time to decide and giving fantastic menu recommendations. He paced our appetizers entrees and desserts to absolute perfection and despite the cramped table space he managed to clear every single plate with total grace and zero interruption to our conversation. To top it all off it was my friend's birthday and David made it genuinely special. She is still talking about how it was her best birthday ever and a huge part of that is thanks to him. Even though it is a 45 minute drive for me including the traffic on I-64 I will gladly make the trip back and specifically ask for David's section because he turned a potentially chaotic large party dinner into an unforgettable night. Thank you David!”
“Southern Kitchen is amazing! I traveled to Richmond for the weekend and visited Southern Kitchen after it was recommended by my Lyft driver. 10/10! The food was incredible and my waiter was so attentive and accommodating. He even offered me a sweet tea to go! If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be back!”
“We have been to Perry’s short pump many times and always enjoy the food and service. Tonight we went for our anniversary and they made it so special with rose petals on the table and a complimentary dessert. The best part was wonderful food and exceptional service from our server Sydney. We also appreciate their management always checking in with the guests. Wonderful evening!”

“Went in to dave hot chicken short pump and had the pleasure of being serviced by Ms.Aaliyah and she was everything she was kind courteous and very suggestible and knowledgeable. The food was awesome it was very clean in the establishment we will be returning and will suggest to other people.”
“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!”
“overall a very pleasant experience! I went on a Friday evening around 7pm, and both inside and outside seating was nearly packed! I managed to grab a couple barstools along the window while I waited for my company to arrive.
now, I dont know hoe long it had been between the last person at my seats leaving and me coming in; it very well may have been 2 minutes or 20. but when I entered, no one was seated there. however, the table was veryyyy sticky, I put my bare arm down and almost gagged lol.
not the biggest deal tho, as i did see someone come through and wipe down any unoccupied tables and chairs with a rag (which I hope had cleaner on it because shawty did not have a spray bottle of any kind), so im sure the cleaning is a lot more regular when theyre less busy.
im holding space for grace bc I know how the food industry gets. but it was still unpleasant and I did not feel like I could fully relax because I kept getting triggered everytime my arm touched the table lmao.
nonetheless, the food was great, they had sports on the televisions, my mango mio was delicious, and my company said the workers were kind when she ordered for us! id come back!”
“Delicious selection. LOVED the bacon egg and cheese croissant, also really enjoyed the ham & cheese and the pistachio croissant. The espresso chip cookie was also great and the ube cookie tastes like a brownie, I was very into it. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.”
