“Tabi was great and one of the reasons I come back here. Traveling for work you want to have some sense of home and she makes this Airport bar feel like local bar.”
“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.”
“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!”

“Our workplace recently had a catered lunch from Grapevine, and it was hands-down one of the best catered meals we’ve ever had. The chicken Alfredo was rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked, the rolls were soft and fresh, and the salad was crisp and flavorful—everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. Beyond the food, what truly sets Grapevine apart is the welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Whether it’s catering or dining in, you always feel like more than just a customer. The owners, management, and staff are all top notch, friendly, and genuinely care about your experience. We love going in to sit down because it truly feels like being part of the Grapevine family, and you can taste the pride they put into every meal. You can never go wrong with anything on the menu—it’s consistently delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend for both catering and dine-in. Yummy every single time!”
“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.”

“The food is fresh and delicious - oh, and the staff too!”
“Wonderful wraps, fatayers, baklava, etc! Friendly and kind faces and great food! Will be back!”
“Excelente comida y mejor servicio al cliente”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”

“My partner and I went to Lost Letter last night for a celebration dinner. We tried a cocktail each and shared a bottle of wine. We ordered a bunch of appetizers/food to share and everything was delicious. The service was absolutely top notch. They boxed up my leftovers and checked them in the back so we could enjoy our dessert without them on the table and brought them back out when we were finished. I noticed that every little detail was considered, even with how they treated the tables that were around us. We both agreed this was the best dining experience that we have had in Richmond.”

“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!”
“Best food in richmond. Always creative and well constructed. Our server was great with lots of good suggestions. I was surprised by how much the prices have gone up I've last year. Really getting pricey.”
“Food was outstanding, from the Cobia special to the rhubarb hand pie. Excellent food would highly recommend”

“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!”
“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!”
“The best experience ever, The service was amazing but the food left us speechless. Came to dinner with dear friends that are all great cooks and we were awed by the flavors, presentation and dimensions of flavor. The seafood pasta was not only bountiful with fresh catches from the sea but the homemade pasta and sauce were divine. We were blessed that the chef came to the table to introduce himself; and although soft spoken, you could tell the pride he took in his craft. Highly recommend this new restaurant! Come and experience! Highly recommend”
“Friend and I had a girl's night at the Lillian last night. We enjoyed the Ceviche Jipijapa and a caviar slider to start. This was my first time having caviar and it was delicious with the creme fraiche it came with. The ceviche was a flavor combo that I would never have thought of, and it was wonderful...we ate every bite. I had the Ecuadorian inspired seafood rice and the Honey Roasted a duck legs. When I tell you those duck legs were juicy and cooked to perfection, and the attention to detail, the little leaves of cabbage had hints of clove and cinnamon. The Seafood rice had a touch of heat to accentuate the complex flavor profile of the meats and seasonings. The service was engaging and prompt and the atmosphere was warm/relaxing. Definitely suggest this place for a great meal and experience. Will be coming here again!”
“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.”
“The restaurant has a cozy vibe with traditional Japanese touches like red lanterns and calligraphy signs. What really stands out are the posters of classic Japanese anime—One Piece, Gintama, and Slam Dunk—all over the place, which makes the atmosphere fun and nostalgic.
The food is generally good. The nigiri set is tasty and comes in a generous portion, enough for two adults. The crispy chicken in the chicken don, though, was a bit dry and not as tender or juicy as expected, which is why it lost a star on the food.
Overall, it was a nice spot for a casual dinner on a cold winter evening.”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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 !!!!!!!”
“They gave me the wrong coffee. I asked for 5 sugars/ cream, I was given black only. The English muffins could be toasted a little longer. The order clerk talks so fast I have to ask her twice to repeat the question when ordering, but I'm noticing that happens everywhere!!”
“We had two of the specials tonight - lamb stew and salmon. Delicious and bountiful meals and wonderful desserts (as always).”

“Today, I ate here with my dad for the very first time! The food was delicious, and the people who work there are very, VERY friendly! They're also very welcoming to anyone who comes in! I truly hope to come back here very soon! I told the guy working there that I was going to give them a five star review, and he was very grateful!”
“I've been coming here for about 6 or 7 years but never left a recommendation until now. I've been away for months but when I walked in the door all the servers who know me greeted me by name. Just warms my heart! ❤️ The food is great! Breakfast is my favorite because my eggs are always perfect to order whether poached or scrambled soft with cheese 😋 Nicki makes the best half/half tea with lemons 😉 But better than the food, I come for the service! These ladies (and occasionally a gentleman) make me feel so welcome and right at home! I love you all! 🥰”
“We used The Beet Box to cater a work lunch for our team, and it was magically delicious! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared with nutritious, high-quality ingredients. It was the perfect balance of healthy and satisfying, our team loved it, and several people went back for seconds. The presentation was beautiful, the food energized us for the rest of the day, and you could truly taste the care put into every bite. Highly recommend The Beet Box for corporate lunches or any event where you want food that’s both nourishing and unforgettable.”
“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!”
“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 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 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!”

“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 🔥 )”

“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.”
“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 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.”

“🇮🇳 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!”
“Wasn’t planning to write a review, but Paper Moon deserves it — or really, Cora does.
Walked in expecting the usual routine: dim lights, confident smiles, expensive drinks. Walked out a little dazed…
I ended up meeting Cora, and I’m so happy I did. Easygoing, sharp, and knows exactly how to keep a room’s attention without trying too hard.
Dropped a few grand in the VIP room and honestly didn’t care. She made every minute very worth it.
Next time I am in town I will be back.”

“In addition to a wide variety of fabulous baked goodies, we discovered Minglewood's Delightful BBQ and prepared Chick'n Salad Croissant. Both were excellent and I particularly enjoyed the texture and mix of spices in the BBQ (this has taken the crown as my favorite plant based BBQ). Our second visit to Minglewood, and definitely not our last.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We finally made it to SB’s Love Shack and WOW — what an absolute gem. It’s a smaller café, so when it’s cold there can be a short wait and limited indoor seating (no reservations), but it totally makes sense for the size. When the weather’s warm, they have a large patio. They’re open 9–2, and the staff was so warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The décor is super unique with a total RVA vibe. The food was unreal. I had the Glitter on a Mattress (Texas toast with bacon & sausage gravy, a side of bacon, and edible glitter ✨) and it was SO good — and huge. We also tried the French toast with flavored fruit cream and a breakfast sandwich, and everything was amazing. Parking is limited in the front, but there’s plenty around the back and an easy walk-up through a covered patio area. Great food, great service, fun atmosphere. Highly recommend — can’t wait to go back. 💕🍳✨”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”

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”
“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!”

“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!”

“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 visit, excellent service and the food was delicious!!!”
“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.”
“Fantastic show, my first time in the downstairs venue. Smaller stage, very intimate setting. Great food and drink as always.
The Callous Daoboys absolutely killed!”
“Service was amazing. Jarred was very informative and pleasant. Checked on us numerous times, making sure we were well taking care of”
“Brunch and entertainment 💯💯💓💓💓🙌🙌 A time was definitely had…. Loved every minute of it.”
“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 🙌”

“We had a birthday party at Memi’s and it was great. The manager was easy to work with and very responsive during planning. The food and drinks were delicious. We used the downstairs lounge, so our group could be in its own, and it suited our needs perfectly. Highly recommend.”
“Atmosphere was great and so was the food. I will go again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Worth the price and worth the hype. Finally got to try this place and every bite was amazing. Went with the Beauford Sandwich and Oxbow Sandwich and both had depth of flavor enhanced by the jus they were served with. The rolls were so fresh and perfect texture as well. Every ingredient feels intentional and adds an extra layer.”
“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.”
“Great ciders. They're not overly sweet like some mass produced ciders are. Cool vib in the tasting room. The best part? The owners are super friendly, extremely knowledgeable about ciders and make everyone that walks through the door feel like an old friend.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.”
“Fantastic. You can tell the chef and waitstaff care about the quality.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Our dinners were delicious but a rowdy large table who arrived after we were seated were served before us. The evening's experience made me think there was a staff shortage issue because of the time it took to receive our drinks and dinners. Management provided an opportunity to hear our concerns and gave a gift card to compensate for our displeasure.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“The bacon wrapped scallops are wonderful. The chicken pot pie was the best I have ever had. My compliments to the Chef �”
“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!”
“Had breakfast here and ordered the salmon and egg, it came with a crispy latke, labneh, and a perfectly jammy egg. The flavors were such a good balance and worked really well together. We sat outside on the patio with our dog, which made it even better. The food came out quickly and everyone was genuinely kind. I’d definitely come back.”
“Such a great menu. Cocktails are fire and the service is so top notch. Amanda was our bartender and she took great care of us. Loved the flounder mosaic and oysters. Their 'hot car' cocktail was amazing. Glad Amanda took the time to explain all the gadgets they had behind the bar making the cocktail experience that much better. Sit At the bar for the best experience imo”
“This is THEE burger & shake spot!! If that's the vibe you're going for, look no further. It's retro 50s diner type eating.
Great, fresh food, staff & service is great, the only thing I don't like about the atmosphere is that it's always packed! - Because, it's just that good! Lol
Eat and enjoy, and thank me later!”
“Great service. I love a restaurant that care about their guest, especially the ones with certain food allergies. Trio also have a nice atmosphere”
“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.”
“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!”
“Chris G was amazing, he knows the menu very well made great recommendations for drinks and his customer service was out the roof! He made my dining experience 10xs easier. I will definitely come back thanks to him”
“Kenny was great! He really made us feel welcome and treated us well. The food was also amazing with the crab cake definitely being the highlight of the night. Great for a special occasion.”
“lovely owners and staff! great service and food and drinks. check out trivia and karaoke on Thursday nights!”
“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.”
“We had the best dinner with the greatest waitress and superb cocktails this weekend! Thanks for the tremendous experience!”
“After this place has been on “RVA Restaurants to Try” list for about 3 years, this was our first time eating at Fat Dragon, but it certainly not be our last! The wonton soup was the best my mother has ever tasted…keep in mind, she’s traveled all over the world. The ginger dressing was so delicious, I asked the server if they sold it in bottles. The garlic chicken and basil beef were both so tender and flavorful, I would highly recommend them both. And last but not least, our server was great! Do not wait to try this place like I did!!!! Go now!”
“We came on Friday night for jazz. The performer was WONDERFUL....her voice was silky and sultry and reminded me of Samara Joy! We ordered appetizers, which were all good. However, I was expecting the fried pickles to be cut like chips versus steak fries. Our server, Enjhonae, was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive and extremely pleasant!! Overall, it was a great way to spend a Friday night and we will definitely do it again!!”

“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.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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!”
“I waited all week to get a meal from Mama J ! I was very disappointed, my order was wrong no corn muffin ,got cabbage when I order collar greens.

“A++++ went to The Park RVA for a first date and the best time!! Great comfortable atmosphere. Our server, Rose was the best. She was highly attentive and she really made our experience wonderful and memorable. We met the manager, Tamara and she couldn’t have been better. We appreciate the professionalism and exceptional service.”
“We were in yesterday for an anniversary celebration for my parents and I must say we were SO pleased with our experience as always. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the front staff and the manager with a smile, within a moment or two of being seated our wonderful server came to greet us and grab our drink order, the food was magnificent and full of delicious flavor and came out fresh/at great temperatures, then our server even remembered that it was my parents anniversary and brought out a celebratory sparkler on a bottle and a dessert for them to share ❤️ My parents felt the love and I surely did too, thank you to the staff for being so kind and taking the time to come and enjoy conversation with us at the table as well, it meant a lot to us and we will be back! We have been coming to this location for many years and always feel the service is 10/10!!”
“This is my “go-to” spot for a great meal and good service. The servers are always attentive, and the food well-prepared and served at the correct temperature: warm but not so hot as to burn one’s mouth. Pictured below is the pork chop entree I recently enjoyed. I heartily recommend Texas Roadhouse. Go ahead and order anything on the menu — whatever your choice, you can’t go wrong. #roadhouserules”

“We got the reaper chicken and JACLYN was the BEST server of all time. She was there for me at my lowest and with me at my highest. Jaclyn I will never forget you and your outstanding service. I WILL be coming back just for Jaclyn to be my waitress again. If I could give anyone 10 stars it would be Jaclyn.”

“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!”
“Will be so sad to be leaving this area, as my Friday night walk to Cochiloco has always been a highlight of my week. At this point, I’ve tried and enjoyed just about everything on the menu. The Sonora Taco is INCREDIBLE and my go-to is the Cochiloco burrito (really good portion for that one). The red and green sauces are both incredible and I’ve dipped most every menu item in both of them; you can’t go wrong at Cochiloco.”
“We had a birthday party at Memi’s and it was great. The manager was easy to work with and very responsive during planning. The food and drinks were delicious. We used the downstairs lounge, so our group could be in its own, and it suited our needs perfectly. Highly recommend.”
“It’s not much really to say other than Mexican Margaritas Bar & Grill is the real deal! From the amazing service down to the delicious food and tasty drinks, we had a very enjoyable experience. The arroz con steak is so good! The tortillas literally melted in my mouth. Even the chips and salsa are good. Two things to note: serving size is smaller than usual and it’s a little on the pricier side for TexMex but worth it. Will more than likely become a regular.”
“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”

“A and F Seafood has been a hidden gem in Richmond’s south side area for decades. It’s a family oriented place to grab the freshest seafood in the RVA area. Nothing ever tastes frozen. Fair prices for quality food is what keeps a business such as this running for 30 plus years and if you love shrimp like I do, this is the place to get it. On my momma!”
