Loved the outdoor seating on a beautiful spring evening with live music. Had decent options for vegetarians which has been a struggle for us downtown. My husband had the burger and fries which was yummy and well seasoned. I had the sweet potato and spinach panini. Also yummy. Loved the fried cheesecake to top it off. The server was very attentive to us and offered a sample of my drink when I wasn't sure which to try.

Best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had!We went in with our 6 month old looking to grab lunch and the kitchen was backed up. One of the servers, I wish I’d gotten her name, was so sweet and accommodating and got us a table, letting us know that service could be a bit slow. She really took care of us and was so attentive, despite how short staffed they were. The food was delicious and they have a wonderful draft beer selection!

They have an emotionally unstable manchild working the door. Tried to insult me and separate me from my partner. Then proceeded to let several underage people in after the fact.

Atmosphere is very noisy and the music is a bit loud (mostly cheesy 80s). But the food was good and the selection of beers is good and the service was very good.Vegetarian options: For vegetarians, you've got appetizers, salads, and a couple of sandwiches

This is been twice I had been overcharged with my card. Went on Friday night and Saturday night, both the times I was over charged. Bartenders misuse your card. If you give cash they charge you actual where as you give credit card they swipe and overcharge without even giving you the receipt.

Seemed like a good place to visit when I first got there but the service there was absolutely horrible. I left my hat upstairs and when I went to go get it I was told to go wait in line downstairs. The bar ended up closing and I was never able to get my hat due to the lack of communication from security. This place is absolutely horrible

The location, vibe are excellent. Very spacious, so even if it gets crowded it doesn't feel that tight. Great collection of beers and cocktails. You get great discounts during happy hours (weekdays 3-7 pm). Cocktails and classy beers get very cheap. However I didn't like the food that much. I ordered 3 starters (as in pics) and all of them were not up to the markParking: You need to find street parking in the vicinity. Might need to walk 1-2 blocks.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, accessible.

Good food, we've been here several times. Our family enjoys the atmosphere here and the service is generally fine. Onion rings are good. Parking is sometimes hard to come by but over all a good place to eat.

Drove around half an hour trying to find this place. It’s downtown with no parking. There is no outside signage at all. Just a nondescript place. Very

No durags, no hats, no white tees, no ripped jeans, no boots, no sweat-suits. Just put up a sign that you don’t want black people there. :)

The atmosphere is Great. However, I don't understand why they don't have sweet tea on the menu? Considering the name and it's in Richmond.

Probably the worst place you can go if you are visiting and can avoid this place at night I would. First time I came there they took my card even though I told them to NOT start a tab. Turns out they keep my card. I had to come back the next day and came when it wasn’t all that busy I asked one of the managers if they could look for my card and they told me no?! She suddenly had a change of heart when I told her its my property she cannot keep it from me. I told her I would be waiting at the bar until she looked for it. She went to “look” after looking at my ID and she proceeded to bring me some other random girls ID?! When I told her she wasn’t even listening to what I asked for she then gave up looking. One of the bartenders could tell I was upset and grabbed it for me in two seconds. It took 10 minutes for her to even try.Another instance, wanted to avoid this place but I was a designated driver for a large group (we aren’t college kids) one of the apparently staff members even though he did not have it clearly written on him where we could see. Pushed pretty hard at one of the girls in our group and one of the guys asked him to go around. Next thing we know the guy is on top off him with no conversation and just grabbing him. My friend kept his hands in the air and didn’t even touch him. We had at least three clear minded people witnessing the situation including myself. People thought it was a fight so someone not from our group and one guy from ours were trying to break up the “fight”. When he was no longer in his lock, security came after a completely DIFFERENT guy than him and kicked him out for no reason. When asking staff what was happening and what was going on they had no reason. And get this, just for asking “hey where is our friend I am just trying to make sure everyone from my group gets home safe” they lady told me I needed to leave? Of course I left but I had questions. this place is ridiculous if you’re not a college student that has literally no other place to go. I’d avoid it like the plague. Granted I’ve never been there during the day.Also their drinks are wildly over priced when I went the first night I thought I was mistakenly over charged it cost me close to $12 for only one small drink. I paid and tipped nicely of course but definitely don’t go here expecting it to be cheap either.Parking: Went into a $7 paid lot.

So I have gone here many times with my friends and always had a great time. Tonight we couldn’t get in because one of us didn’t have a belt and the other because he was wearing ripped jeans. They have gone like this to this place at night many times and there wasn’t ever a dress code. The other 3 people of our party wasn’t given and explanation then one of the girls was told she was the only one he’s letting in unless she does something for him. That was so disgusting we had to leave. They need to change up the outside staff because this was disgusting.
