50 Best Burger Restaurants in Richmond

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious burgers. Too big, so bring your appetite“

“This is a beautiful, well maintained restaurant that offers 1950's nostalgic dinner vibes. I had a classic burger & fries. The fries were well seasoned, served hot & fresh. The burger was aesthesially pleasing however, a little salt & pepper was desired to elevate the taste to match the look. I also, enjoyed a coffee shake that was delicious & hit the spot. I enjoyed my food overall, & the atmosphere was great coming from the staff.“

“Love supporting local food joints!“

“Great burgers, best chicken wings and fresh salads! Loved it!“

“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!“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“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!“

“Always delicious.“

“Love the burgers, great restaurant! Just wondering what’s up with pick up orders. Haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone the past two days.“

“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 🔥 )“

“very good food excellent portion 😋..“

“stopped here tonight with my 4 year old on a long road trip and I can't say thank you enough. Great people, great food, great place! highly recommended if you love GWAR or crispy fries 🍟 👁“

“David was the best cook and company. 100% nostalgia. The prices are average. Very small, but it does have indoor seating. Food reminds me of the old triangle. If you know you know. It's one person working so do not come if you are in a rush.“

“When Roy, his wife and I worked there, they made you where satisfied with your Burger he would get on the phone call to get Burgers that were thicker and not full of grease! Of course things are higher but so is everything. Everything are just as good today as yesterday! Don't change*****“

“We were asked to LEAVE the restaurant by the manager. He told us that just ordering drinks was not making him money and we were taking up space from the people waiting to be seated. I looked and there was NO ONE WAITING. I hope everyone believes this. I was embarrassed and so very angry that I got up and left before I spoke out in anger. Also we had already decided to come back there and have lunch after our scheduled tour was over. After how he treated us..... he lost our business and the business from everyone else I tell my experience to This is the review I posted on their website.“

“Gay-Fa-Lay Flipper Waffle-fry nachos“

“Love it“

“Stopped in randomly. Long day. Needed food. I've driven by this place so many times. Picked a random hot American pizza. XL. Holy hell this thing was good!! Dudes inside were nice, and got me a pizza from order to me walking to my car in less than 15min. Can't wait to try more of their pizzas!! Also, they have nightingale ice cream sandwiches!!!!“

“Dangerous place - everything (burgers, fries, donuts) is awesome!“

“We went for a family birthday on Sunday evening. It was very easy to get a table but they didn't know what to do with so many people. There were two servers tag teaming us and neither could seem to get things done efficiently. No silverware until after the food came. Very little refill of drinks. Their phone system is some kind of AI that doesn't understand the word reservation. We were trying to warn them that we were a big group. The pay at the table option was not working. And they couldn't tap with whatever was behind the counter. We had a good time because we're a family but it would have been very frustrating otherwise“

“I do a Cheeseburger Blog (RVA) and highly recommend Habit. If you go to my page, you will see how Habit compares to what I've critiqued so far. I wish there was a way to post my review on this page.“

“Great food & cozy atmosphere“

“Only fan spot where the primary staff make you feel that they’re glad you’re there. Just don’t get that elsewhere. Really annoying Eagles songs though. When it’s jumpin’, it’s an experience.“

“Five out of five stars. Good food and great people!“

“Dave’s new joint has all of the ambiance of a traditional fan bar with Museum District class and Devil’s Triangle flair. Get yourself a Guinness and some fiery “Satan Wings”!“

“I got to say this was great food! We just noticed it on Google Maps is a sandwich shop and decided to give it a try. The guy running the counter was really nice and the food was out of this world. My kid loved his cheeseburger and I had the pepperoni cheesesteak, will definitely be back!“

“I’m a bit disappointed! I came to get ice cream and funnel cake. The kitchen was already closed, well before the listed closing time and the cost of the ice cream for a single scoop was shocking. I know y’all have good food but I will be reconsidering coming back. 🥺“

“Very dog friendly to our three pups. Brought water out for them. Food was Fantastic“

“Just ate at the location in Mechanicsville (couldn’t find a page for them)and it was delicious! We will definitely be back.“

“We love going to the Short Pump location. The food is amazing but very disappointed that the Onion Nest is no longer on the menu.“

“Great authentic restaurant!“

“Great staff! Friendly, courteous and helpful. Fries, unfortunately, way too many and they were soggy. Asked for a small fry and had to dig through half a bag of fries to even get our burgers. Something needs to be done because we are not ordering fries until Five Guys stops wasting massive quantities of food. It is ridiculous.“

“I love Ironclad Sports Bar and Grill“

“Honestly, I’ve only ever had cook out twice, but I can tell you it’s honestly some of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and the shakes are really good! The food and service were phenomenal, they were excellent, the interior was nice, I looked the wood and rustic feel to it!“

“I felt obligated to review this place because it was clean, delicious, and very considerate of my allergies.

Most importantly Kynn was a amazing server, cook, and all. He was friendly, energetic, sympathetic and a diligent worker!

Thank you Five Guys for being one of the few places I can trust with my auto immune disease!“

“They have great food at Shorty's Diner at this location and the one in Williamsburg. Reminds me so much of the 1950's lifestyle at both locations and the people are nice. Top notch customer service! 👍“

“covid guidelines, great service, and yummy burgers. get a free burger in your birth month“

“Great Service!!“

“My husband and I eat there almost every day! The food is awesome, as is the staff. Hats off to the manager AJ and staff Leonanna, Jill, Lori, Cam, Chelsea, Ashleigh and Asa. They are all very welcoming and great at their jobs. We just love them and Eggs Up.“

“The shakes are so good and there are 40 flavors! My fav is the banana shake. It has real chunks of banana 🍌.
Corn dog was yummy. Best fast food prices and grilled burgers and more. I only wish I had a location near me. Come to MD Cook Out!“

“Loved it. Great views, amazing cocktails, perfect for late spring/early summer w a lovely breeze. Kid friendly, but don't be a jerk- if you are ordering food (for yourself or your kid) rub the two neurons together that it takes to understand how unfair it is to the staff to order food on the balcony - it SUCKS to have to get food to there, (and, shockingly!) even more than it sucks having to go back downstairs to order food. Just be a decent person, order drinks at the bar (like a normal person), and get your food downstairs close to the kitchen.... that way it is still warm when you get it, and you won't sound like a completely entitled dumbass when you complain about how long it took/how cold your food is, when you were too lazy to even try to go downstairs without the burden of an order.“

“Left great review but had to go and edit it the food is horrible I asked for specific wing sauce and received different also wanted my wings well done they were pretty much not they charged me .79 for a small cup of ranch which taste like hidden valley & they frys could atleast have some salt or seasoning tasted like I was eating air literally ill just stick with Buffalo Wild Wings can’t go wrong there ! This place is horrible“

“I love their pepper steak and the curry chicken.“

“Dope RVA spot! 🥃🥃🇺🇸🇺🇸. Has some Vets running around there too, so I’m all in! ✊🏻🫡“

“I love Kickback Jacks! Always great food, variety, and service!!!“

“Everything about our experience was amazing! The food the staff!!! We will definitely be back!!“

“Very fast and everything was right.“

“Five guys on Forest Hill Ave. The really tall manager, he is very professional and friendly. I love eating here, the staff at night is always working hard and taking care of customers going above and beyond. I will definitely be back for more. Only con I would say is the price is a little high. But, its, worth it. Food tastes great everytime.“
