“The margaritas are really tasty! And the Birria Quesadillas are amazing!”

“Just came from an amazing lunch with my 3 kids..... The food was outstanding, the service was great and the atmosphere was very easy going with great blues music! Not your average fast food barbecue, this is the real thing... good, tasty, and the best smoked flavor! Right across from the airport, easy to get to..... Will be back often!”

“I have been a patron of this establishment for over 30 years and in all that time I have never been asked to pay a gratuity fee. I have had birthday parties , baby showers and rehearsal dinner. I realize there was six in my party. Paying by two different checks. The owner whom my kids played with growing up tells me its on the menu that the its up to the server degression to use it or not. You know where it is on the menu???? All the way down at the bottom paste the food items. In smaller print. Sad to say I will no longer be a customer here thanks to the sever Miranda”

“I’ve been wanting to check this place out for awhile. We stopped by this past Friday night to grab dessert on the way home after having dinner in shockoe bottom. Felt welcome as soon as we walked in. I could see this is a spot locals love. I let her know my son only wanted dessert and she didn’t hesitate to recommend Momma Doc’s. He ended up ordering the brownie sundae. Let me tell you, it must’ve been delicious cause he scarfed it down like he hadn’t eaten all night 😂. We will definitely be back. The menu was extensive, and the vibe was chill.”

“We stopped in on our way through Richmond for lunch. It's a cute little local spot, lots of families and friendly faces. The staff was kind, and our food was served promptly. My husband enjoyed his veggie burger, and I loved my cheeseburger and cappucino ice cream.”

“We ate at the Mechanicsville location on our way home from out of state. I always order a chimichanga every time I have Mexican, which is often. I ordered one today with ground beef. When it was brought out to me it looked like a taquito ( a 1/3 of the size). A manager came over and was not happy when I told him that. He said that was their normal size chimi’s. To top it all off when I took my first bite It was shredded beef instead of ground beef. I put do NOT RECOMMEND and do not know what happened and now I cannot change it!!!!!!’”

“If I could give them 6 stars I would! $3.79 asada taco is a great price! I got 4. The green sauce (I don’t know the name, owner please let me know 🙂) is sooooo good. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Nice new gas station in the area. Getting in and out of the parking lot is less than ideal and not large vehicle or trailer friendly just FYI. But the building and lot are well maintained and clean”

“One of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had and I’ve had some decent birds. Hands down, top #3. Check it out. $10.99 Banging sandy with fries.”

“This was a very pleasant surprise! Our dinner was excellent, the waitress was charming and attentive, and I had the best "skinny " margarita ever!!! Cannot wait to go back!”

“All was great good good and fast service”

“This was my first time staying at this hotel, and despite its proximity to the airport, is very quiet inside and out. The room I had was impeccably clean, comfortable, with everything in sound working order. The room furnishings were great, and I really liked the bedside connectively, including conventional power outlets and USB ports on both sides of the bed. I did place an order at the Bistro, the in-house restaurant. And the food I ordered was excellent. The location is nice enough, and within walking distances to several restaurants. However, the only parking lot entrances are the two street sides ones off of Williamsburg Road, and there isn't one that is off the road that leads to a couple other hotels. It would be nice if there was. It's just a minor quibble though. As for the hotel staff, they were courteous and helpful. Overall, I was impressed with the hotel, and can see myself staying here again in the future.”

“First time ever going to a Waffle house, it was alright. Nothing that made me want to go back again, but I can see why this is a staple among folks. The waffle was really good, just not as filling as i'd like”

“The food is very tasty, I didn't face any flaws, everything was delicious except the very bad customer service, a pie from this establishment served me very rude. For my part, I spoke in English, of course, I understand that my English is not fluent but it should not be resistant and rude. The epleanda is called kamora, 🙂🙂she is rude. But not everyone is like that except for an adult who gave me the food very kindly”

“I had a surprisingly great experience at this Burger King. While the surrounding neighborhood and the exterior of the building look a bit run down, don’t let that discourage you from stopping in. The inside was clean, well-maintained, and much more inviting than I expected.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. My order was prepared quickly, and the food was fresh, hot, and tasted great. It’s clear that the employees take pride in keeping the restaurant clean and making sure customers have a positive experience.

Overall, this location exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely return when I’m in the area. Great job to the team!”

“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.”

“I came here on a Monday evening at 6:30 PM with four of my colleagues. We sat outside, which was fine with the weather and it was also the only table they had available for four people with a week notice. I tried to change my reservation and add more people, but when I called on a Monday, they unfortunately are not open. However they did return my call the next day which is super rare. The inside looks really nice. My colleague was at the bar having cocktails and loved their cocktail list. I got the social butterfly and it was delicious and beautiful, with gin, vermouth maraschino liqueur and Thai basil, but you really don’t taste the basil which is good thing for me. We ordered the bread with butter and the smorgasbord of cheese and meat. It was so good. I can’t explain it but it was not your ordinary meats and cheeses with prosciutto and brie and manchego. I split the duck and the Bucatini with my colleague, both were very delicious and then we all shared the profiteroles and pear spice cake, which was amazing as well. I will say the menu changes often because now that I’m looking at the website a week later my dishes are no longer there. But I don’t deny that anything that is on their menu is very good. My colleague got the steak and my other colleague got a different pasta and everyone loved their dishes.”

“Sub Rosa has been on my list for a while because they are famous for stone milling heirloom grains onsite while also using old European style wood-fired masonry ovens to bake. Sounds fresh and slow, just how I like my sourdough!

We came to Richmond for a long weekend three years ago and attempted to go here, but we failed because the line was too long! This time, i came for work, and I was determined to come again and actually get in! So I got local tip and did a pre order two days before and designated a pickup time; this helps you bypass the line. You just walk in and pick up your order from the back shelf. It could not be easier!

I pre ordered the sesame light rye sourdough, the rosemary sea salt pide flatbread, pistachio sour cherry croissant, beef borek, and a mini quiche. I stopped here en route to the airport going back to NYC today. To my very pleasant surprise, when I picked up the bag from the back shelf and brought it to an outside table to inspect my goods, I realized they threw in an extra pistachio croissant for me! I almost squealed in pure delight! It’s all carefully packaged and well put together.

There’s a decent amount of seating inside and lots of seating outside. I wish I had more time to hang out here because it looks like a comfy place to work on a weekday!

Pistachio sour cherry croissant was delicious; light rye is super light, perfect texture and sooo sour and gooood. I just love this place so much! If I have another work trip here, I will not hesitate to do another pre order again and bring my goods back!”

“I'm addicted and can't wait to hopefully have more tomorrow 😋❤️ All the food was so flavorful and the presentation is amazing.”

“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!”

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

“Delicious ice Cream and cones!”

“We love their commitment to great food, their spirit of innovation, and the many gluten-free options they offer!”

“We had a great meal with fantastic service. Will definitely be back.”

“Tabbi provided wonderful service for our group traveling for business. She answered all our questions and provided good recommendations. She made our hectic travel day better!”

“Wonderful staff - always friendly - food is always consistent! Thank you for great BBQ!”

“Brunch and entertainment 💯💯💓💓💓🙌🙌 A time was definitely had…. Loved every minute of it.”

“Free cookies some days. They post a sign on the door. Super tasty cookies and brownies. Folks were very helpful assisting me in choosing the right items. A little pricey...but sized to share and very good. Very pleasant experience. Give them a try!”

“Best birria egg rolls in Richmond Virginia, food was exceptional 💯💯🫶🏾🫶🏾”

“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!”
