“I’ve heard a lot of great things about this place and it was all true! The food was very delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. I had the butter chicken and my husband got the lamb and mushrooms and they were both really tasty. Staff was nice, everything was clean, and the dining room was pretty. Highly recommend!“

“My first visit to The Boathouse in Richmond was nothing short of exceptional. We were seated outside on the patio, which provided a perfect view and a relaxing atmosphere. The food was incredible every dish was well-prepared and flavorful, and the drinks were just as impressive. Our waitress, Veronica, truly made the experience unforgettable. She was absolutely amazing – patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She checked on us regularly and had spot-on recommendations for everything we ordered. Her warm and welcoming personality added such a personal touch to our dining experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but The Boathouse exceeded my expectations. If I get the chance, I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and exceptional service.“

“Service was amazing. Jarred was very informative and pleasant. Checked on us numerous times, making sure we were well taking care of“

“We had our daughter’s 1st birthday party here after having to change the venue last minute due to weather. We reached out and they were able to accommodate our large party (30 people) which we are extremely grateful for. All of the staff were very welcoming from the time we walked in the door until we left. Abby and Corey made our experience here absolutely wonderful. The food and drinks were so good and it definitely helped that there was a little something for everyone!“

I had the most amazing oysters, and all of the food was AMAZING! Chicken Caesar Salad 🥗 was incredible! Kudos to the Chef(s) and staff!! 🤩🤩🤩 Jamela was my server, and she was not only ridiculously kind and welcoming, but completely knowledgeable about the entire menu, about all the locations, what to recommend and all of the different delicious sauces! She is an absolute gem 💎 . Thank you so much for seeing a tired Mom, and providing a level of GENUINE Service and kindness that I haven’t seen in quite a while. Bless you all! Thank you Croaker Spot! -Karma“

“this place rocks!!!! The wings, oysters, and shrimp were cooked to perfection. It's definitely on my list for a return visit. Well done guys, your patience waiting for us to make up your mind“

“Food was outstanding and the owner was incredibly friendly! Couldn’t decide what to get so ended up ordering 4 items and they were all fantastic (bun bun special, lemongrass pork bahn mi, Korean popcorn chicken, and the bulgogi fries). Highly recommend trying this place out!“

“First time. Very welcoming atmosphere. Hostesses & wait staff very attentive. Minimal wait time for drinks & food. Will be back.“

“Good prices, great seafood and sides! If you just want something for yourself or for the whole family. Not a lot of room inside the business, but fair for takeout. The owner is the nicest man, greets everyone that walks through the door. This business is for takeout only, order before you leave the house and pickup once there or you can wait for it, stays pretty busy, especially on the weekends.“

“One of my fave places in RVA“

“The seafood is always fresh and good! Most boils are in a bag full of spices and water creating a slushy juice inside of the bags! I don’t prefer that. The food here is steamed and placed in pans. I have been coming for a few years 5-6 times a month and there has never been an issue. Good Job!“

“Best Bologna Burger in Richmond!

If you're in Richmond, VA, and craving some seriously delicious comfort food, look no further than Parks Combo 2. I’ve tried a lot of spots in the city, but nothing comes close to the magic they serve up here, especially when it comes to their Bologna Burger and Pork Steak Combo.

The Bologna Burger at Parks Combo 2 is hands down the best in Richmond. They’ve perfected the art of balancing flavors and textures, giving you that perfect bite every single time. The bologna is cooked to perfection, with a crispy edge and a juicy center that melts in your mouth. Pair that with their fresh toppings and soft bun, and you’ve got a burger that’s both nostalgic and utterly satisfying.

But that’s not all – their Pork Steak Combo is a must-have as well. The pork steak is tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. It’s got that perfect char on the outside while remaining juicy and succulent on the inside. Every bite is packed with rich, savory goodness that keeps you coming back for more. And when you pair it with their classic sides, it’s a meal that hits the spot every time.

Parks Combo 2 isn’t just another spot in Richmond – it’s a local gem. Whether you're a longtime resident or just passing through, make sure to stop by and try these dishes. Trust me, once you’ve had the Bologna Burger and Pork Steak Combo, you’ll be hooked!“

“Best seafood boils and service in Richmond!“

“I have eaten here at least ten times, and every single meal has been fantastic. The bartender has the biggest smile :) I plan to keep coming back. Good job Crafty Crab for putting such a good team together!!“

“Best crabs and service in town and always cooked fresh!!“

“Customer service,from Tyler, was top notch and the food was cooked to order, so it was scrumptious! The catfish was not highly breaded and the lemon pepper fries were different, but delish. I'll definitely return on a regular basis.“

“This is my "GO TO PLACE" for delicious fresh seafood!!!“

“My husband was craving for the Soft Shell crab sandwiches on the way to vacation and stopped by Sugars Crab Shack which has Rating 4.5 and we tried their Soft Shell Crab platter and Whiting fish platter. It was worthy it to find this delicious seafood place. Love it and I think I will drive 2 hours down to have a great worthy delicious food. And the owner and employees are very friendly.“

“The food was delish!! The drinks were good. We had a blue berry lemon and Richmond Rita for drinks. As far as food, we had crab dip, tipsy fries, salmon and Alfredo pasta, and catfish shrimp basket.
The bartender was great! Everyone their was nice! It will be on my go-to list!!“

“We actually went to the Juicy Crab and after 20 minutes we never got our drinks we had ordered and thought it would be best to try this place, Crab Du Jour. It was fantastic!! All the food was fresh and delicious. The service was great also! Every team member we spoke to were nothing but polite and professional but also had a great sense of humor. We will absolutely be back and I cannot wait!!“

“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.“

“ultimadamente como que están dejando la comida muy salada especialmente la bandeja mixta. digale al cocinero que use menos sal. y menos sal alas snow crabs“

“A solid 4 out of five. The wings are good the mango habanero sauce is great. However the wings are a little dry I guess overcooked. The rice bowls are very tasty chicken and lamb are a favorite. Decent pricing across the board and I will definitely return.

Parking: Nearest strip mall lots of places to park“

“I have eaten here at least ten times, and every single meal has been fantastic. The bartender has the biggest smile :) I plan to keep coming back. Good job Crafty Crab for putting such a good team together!!“

“A very fun experience!! Come on out. You’ll have a great time!!!“

“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 🔥 )“

“First impressions always wins. We were seated immediately. We chose outside seating because 80 degrees in October you have to show out. We were greeted within minutes. Our waitress (Storm) was top tier with energy like that i should have felt some connection(CAT MOM) she was awesome. My cousin always eat here so she ordered her regular (General tso cauliflower) which were bomb. I ordered the (Bread service) appetizer & baby .... The bread , the butter , the oil, & olives pure freshness & delicious. For the entree i went with the Veggie burger which indeed is the kind i prefer (handcrafted with rice & other ingredients) and sweet potato fries which were excellent at taste. My cousin ordered the parmesan truffle fries which were fresh and full of flavor. For my drink we scope over the menu but something about the Orchard Sangria pulled me into the right direction, the cinnamon/ sugar rim combo was exquisite and rich in taste as it clashed with the sangria. Yummy
I am assure I will be returning for the Bread service alone i can eat at least 3 orders it was so good!!“

“We enjoyed our Easter dinner at Perry’s!! I will definitely go back!!“

“Came in before a show at the Camel. Service was wonderful. Amongst myself and company we tried the oysters, fish chowder, chicken wings, trout de florentine (sp?), and three of the cocktails which I forget the names of but they were delicious. Lovely experience and bartenders were especially hospitable (we sat at the bar).

Def plan to return. Oysters were great. Very few places in town have actual choices in selection.

Parking: Not sure about designated parking. Found some street parking within a block or so.“

“Enjoyed a great day with amazing food and wonderful service! Thank you for being dog friendly, that was one reason we came. We will absolutely be back!!“

“I wonder if this is a more authentic experience than most Americans want; loud, cramped, and bussling, this place is an experience. But the food is good, if perhaps the fish tacos, one of our 3 dishes , was bland.

The medium sized margarita was giant and a fair price, and not too sweet. You can find better but you'll pay double.

A good experience overall.“

“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.“

“Best Mexican food. Good service and friendly staff. Everything there is so good.“

“Really good food and selection from steaks that was excellent to fresh fish. We enjoyed it server alert and efficient service.“

“The food and the staff is amazing highly recommended.“

“Great start for a roadtrip! Relaxed, homemade feel with a sensible menu. The meal choices are practical for the location and perfectly satisfying. It’s a perfect family owned, small business that shows great pride in their work. Will definitely stop by on the way back!

Parking: Located right off the highway.“

“It was as always, great atmosphere, great service and great food.“

“First time ever and it was AMAZING… Justin was the best waiter with a great attitude… food was delicious and you couldn’t beat the take home price… can’t wait to return:)“

“We left our brother's after a cookout, and our son was hungry??‍♀️. McDonald's is not an option, and instead of Royal Farms or stopping in the city, we decided to stop here, and get crab legs. It was $20, and they seasoned and steamed them for us. We took them home, melted our own butter, and my son and I ate our fill! They were delicious! Thankfully, Dad just cracks them, and doesn't eat them. Thankful that we visited, and will keep it as an option in the future.“

“Very upscale and very good service“

“I live Yoshi Sushi! They have always given me great service and very tasty food. I worked with sushi restaurants for about 10 years and I can say that the quality is great for the price. I always get the Tropical roll, it’s like dessert. The sushi rice is delicious, cooked just right. Nothing worse than sushi with overcooked rice. The foods that come from the kitchen are also great. Shrimp and veggie tempura, hibachi, and yaki soba are among my favorites.“

“My daughter and I stopped here for lunch, and it was amazing! We finally found some delicious dim sum with great portion sizes and excellent customer service. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back for more. There's a lot of variety, and I especially love that they offer roasted pork, duck, and chicken!“

“I walked in and was warmly greeted. After using the washroom (which could use a good scrubbing), I ordered up front and was told my food would be delivered to the table.

I got the steak and cheese with hot fries and freshly brewed tea.

The sandwich is delicious. The meat is perfectly seasoned, and the onions and peppers are crunchy, giving a nice difference in texture. It's just a really good meal.

I'll be back to try something else!“
