Restaurants in Richmond

“Amazing food all around. I’ve had almost everything on the menu! Visit Richmond one week every year and come here at least twice that week for lunch. Best food in Richmond hands down. Thanks for always having the food ready Ms. Bonnie!”

“I brought 2 ladies with me yesterday afternoon to this Golden Corral in Richmond, Ky. The food was in order. The buffet area was clean and neatly organized. We came down to Richmond from Lexington. I am the 2 ladies ate decently. I know I ate real good after church. The server named Stephanie was good to us. This Golden Corral is just out the way. This might out rate the Golden Corral in Lexington if this keeps up.”

“we stumbled across this little place as we was traveling back home from vacation and I got a say it has amazing food and friendly service. you just don't find this style and service anymore that takes you back in time. highly recommend giving them a try we really enjoyed it.”

“I believe this good place”

“We love our Red Lobster in Richmond! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is friendly. Excellent service, too. Love the Brussels sprouts”

“First time eating here and it didn’t disappoint! Brisket, pulled pork, and chicken brought back memories of San Antonio and San Angelo, Texas. Sides of slaw, Mac n cheese, potato salad hand down great! Owner super nice and staff service great! Would definitely recommend here and plan to visit again in near future.”

“I just had the best coffee I’ve had in a while!! Honey lavender latte. Not bitter. Not burnt. Not too hot. Full of flavor that didn’t taste like fake flavoring. The lavender wasn’t over powering, just a hint, but the honey was where it was at! There was like over an inch of froth…just like God designed it to be. I also appreciated the girls suggestions on places to go shop while I had time to kill.”

“I value consistency. Brady’s consistently has great service, great prices, great food, and gets (sometimes complicated) orders right, every single time. Not many places do that nowadays.”

“5 stars This place is an absolute pleasure and should be on everyone’s go-to list. The atmosphere is second to none—relaxing, welcoming, and full of charm. I highly recommend the Salty Grilled—it’s packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, this spot won’t disappoint.”

“Muy buena comida y atienden rapido”

“Kerry makes the best sweet tea! Great food and atmosphere”

“I entered the restaurant at about 8:00 pm . I ordered grilled tilapia and scallops! It was cooked to perfection with the rich flavors just right! I said my prayers before I started my meal! The waiter and the staff noticed! I ate my meal with great satisfaction. The meal was awesome. When I finished my waiter came and sat with me and we spoke of God and our walks of life with God! We visited for about 30 minutes when we got ready to call it a night. The waiter told me he would cover my meal and walked away to the kitchen with my tableware. I said another prayer for my blessings that I had been given that night! When I was leaving, the restaurant my waiter came and shook my hand with a hug, his boss and all of the other staff shook my hand and gave big hugs! God is great! These people are filled with the great work of the lord!”

“We stopped in for a lite dinner traveling south from 2 funerals in northern Michigan and had the never ending soup n’ salad. This did the trick for traveling. Not to heavy but very satisfying. Always consistent and our waitress gave us very good service. ( When the soup ran out she had the cooks make more for us) I’m sure other patrons benefited also from that. Love the Zuppa & Gnocchi soups😋”

“Service was outstanding by Cody. Tried different items this time, was very good. Met the owner, John. Was extremely personable. Will go back soon.”

“Charmingly, simple restaurant. Food is always delicious, hot, and made to order. Service is fast and the workers are friendly. They also offer takeout and online ordering.”

“For the past two years Chenault Vineyards has hosted the Thanksgiving Luncheon for the Richmond Senior Center. Everything has been amazing! The food is delicious! The ambiance is perfect! Everything is beautifully decorated for the holiday season! The staff are friendly and attentive. We just cannot say enough great things about Chenault Vineyards. We plan to continue this tradition year after year! I have also been to several other parties at Chenault Vineyards in my personal life and they have all been fantastic! Chenault Vineyards should be on your list of things to try!”

“Sarah waited on us and was on it, no flagging down for refills or anything . A waitress of that caliber is hard to find and makes the meal more worth it. Thank you Sarah and overall enjoyable meal.”

“Great decor, atmosphere and service on top of the amazing food!”

“Ordered 3 beast pizzas for my daughters birthday and they did a perfect job. Pizzas were on time for pickup,hot and fresh with tons of toppings. Our guests raved about how good the pizza was.”

“First time here for lunch. Was immediately seated. Server brought chips and salsa. We ordered and food came to the table hot. It was delicious and large portions. We took leftovers home. Guacamole dip was also delicious. Overall, great food and fast and friendly service. Will definitely go back.”

“We were invited to a Christmas cookie decorating get together and it was fun! Bespoke provided the cookies and all the decorating items. And we had a light lunch provided. The hot chocolate was wonderful. Thank you Amber Middleton (and Paula) of Edward Jones for a fun morning. Thank you Bespoke bakery for having such a fun Christmas idea”

“Great food, Great service, Great prices,”

“The employees are great here. The food is the food. I really liked the chicken & waffle slider but it's a little too sweet to get more than one. The sliders are good as usual. One odd thing though is, the dining area smells like urine, so I won't be going back inside.”

“Great Service, good food!!”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“Ocean water... Who invented it? Because it's amazing and you need to get it every visit!

Breakfast burritos are amazing here! For fast food they make it with love”

“I got stranded in the snow in Richmond Ky and the Waffel House there was running full force. Angie was ultra helpful even though I came in hungry and stressed. Ry Ry cooked the most perfect T bone I have ever had in my over twenty five years of Waffel House visits. Thank You. ❤”

“This is the McDonald’s that sets a high bar for other McDonald’s. The restaurant is spotless; employees are helpful, friendly and efficient; and the food was hot, fresh and was delivered promptly to our table. This has been our experience each time we have visited this restaurant.”

“The food was good and the cashier brought the elderly man with me his coffee right away. While I was at the drink fountainhead brought our food to the table. The staff was very friendly and the hospitality was awesome.”

“Just went to the drive thru to get my order.
The staff was friendly, advised me that the order would take a few minutes, r etc.
Food was hot, chicken in the wraps wasn't greasy, the tomatoes on my Daily Double were ripe, the mustard had been added and the drinks had just the right amount of ice.
We sat in the parking lot, watched traffic while eating and theorized on where they were headed, how was that car even on the road!, etc
Open 24/7 so give them a try.”

“Best coffee in Richmond Ky! Awesome barista‘s, veteran discount who’s the competitor doesn’t do! They know me by name and usually ask when I walk up the usual, medium or large? It says something when you have 20 Cars in line and the competition has only 4 cars in line. Stop by have a great cup of your favorite coffee and tell them Bud sent you by!”

“SO GOOD!!! Everything is wonderful. Service is excellent and food is perfection.”

“Thai Smile is an amazing restaurant. The food is wonderful and they love to give back to the community. I love this place!!!”

“I just had the best coffee I’ve had in a while!! Honey lavender latte. Not bitter. Not burnt. Not too hot. Full of flavor that didn’t taste like fake flavoring. The lavender wasn’t over powering, just a hint, but the honey was where it was at! There was like over an inch of froth…just like God designed it to be. I also appreciated the girls suggestions on places to go shop while I had time to kill.”

“The staff at Khin’s are always very nice and professional. The food is fantastic and the cash special where you get extra drinks is a nice touch! Thank you for being so fantastic!”

“Great food, great service.”

“Leah is outstanding! She has a great personality and always has a smile. We all ways ask for her section. She is one of a kind and the reason we come to this location.”

“I had a great experience at Madison Bar and Grill in Richmond, Kentucky. The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in. But the real highlight? The wings were hands down the best I’ve ever had—perfectly crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. If you’re a wing lover, this spot is a must-visit!”

“Excellent service, helpful employees, fresh food, clean restaurant, all at a fair price.”

“Friendly and darn good strips😋”

“Well yall we love the food the company and atmosphere. If your hungry or you need a hug or just somewhere to feel like your family go by and grab you some lunch and don't forget dessert.”

“Love the drinks and treats!”

“Good Good. Enjoy the play place that’s still open.”

“I have two friends who ate from here the other day. Got sick about half hour later and they are still sick.its been two days so far.they had a conceso cheese with chicken and rice. My family eats there once a week so definitely being cautious now”

“Wanted to give a shout out to shift leader Kiley! She took my order promptly and with a smile. She then bagged my order. She noticed the cast on my arm and graciously offered to carry my food to my car! I accepted her offer. She placed the food in the back seat and put my pillow in front of the bag so it wouldn’t fall off! It’s like she knows how I drive! Thank you, Kiley! You went above and beyond!!!”

“The food here is really good. I normally only eat 2 tacos but they were so good I ate 3. My husband and I really enjoyed this restaurant. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual but the food and drinks are good. There isn’t that much seating and the entire time we were eating almost every table was full. The salsa bar was a good experience and when they say spicy they actually mean it with the salsa options.”

“The young women that work front are pleasant and food is always good. Amazing wait staff and cooks. I am always pleasantly surprised by the speed of the cooks and when the cashiers remember the dressing I like without asking. Janitorial staff is needed.”

“People always complain when they have a bad experience but people never tell when they have a good experience. I am here to tell my good experience! Today was a bad day for me, on my way home from working all day I wanted to grab dinner so I didn’t have to cook and pasta sounded good to me so I walked into Fazolis. At first there was a teenage boy who waited on me but my question prompted him to go get a manager, that is when a lady with the best eyeliner I’ve ever seen and several piercings walked up to help me. She was so helpful, answered all my questions, applied a discount to my order from the app and listened to me talk about how hard I worked today and I really appreciated all of that. After my experience with her I will make sure to eat at Fazolis more. I hope a higher up sees this bc she really deserves a “job well done” I was happier walking out then I was walking in and that just doesn’t happen often in this world so thank you nice lady manager at Fazolis! You made my bad day a little better 🙂 P.S. My family meal tasted amazing too!”

“My food was great but one of the people I was with had a realy stiff bottom hamburger bun. I waited for a but and none of the employees came to wash my hands but other than that can't complain”

“I was here shortly after that opened. I was very disappointed. This time we went there because the competition was too busy. This A&W now lives up to my fondest childhood memories. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was very clean. We will be back!”

“Great staff and the food was on point! QUick and Clean”

“Yo! These guys DoorDash skills are ON POINT! It was ready for the driver when they got there and it was still straight out of the kitchen hot when it got to my dorm room. Also.... Dem Fries tho!!!”

“visited this afternoon, an got special, service by the most wonderful person her name was Norma at the Richmond, Store go visit an what ever the selection, it will be fresh an hot... thanks again, Norma i will be back”

“People who love to tail gate, let their hair down on occasion, this is your place to go for fun. The owners couldn’t be better and the service is fantastic and friendly 🥳😉😆”

“Always clean, employees are friendly, & love the food.”

“ALWAYS delicious. I eat lunch here 2-3 times a week and it never disappoints. The burgers are always delicious and the fries are always fresh and crispy. Couple that with reasonable pricing and no sales tax for a meal that's far cheaper than any other options available in the area.”

“Good Good. Enjoy the play place that’s still open.”

“Great place! Delicious food at reasonable prices, and wonderful service. Thank you for being there for us! 😊”

“Great service. Great food.”

“The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I went for the first time not really knowing what to order and they guided me through and helped me create the BEST protein shake I’ve ever had. They asked me questions to get a feel for my taste preferences and it really helped to create something I enjoyed. There are so many options and I’m excited to go back!!!!!”

“Today we decided to try a new restaurant just outside of Richmond that I had heard rave reviews over. Dos Hermanos is located in the same building as the BP Station, but don't let this fool you at all. This place is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! Very clean inside and the food was better than everyone had described. I had the Dos Hermanos Special which included a grilled chicken breast, grilled steak, special seasoned grilled shrimp on a generous bed of rice with California vegetables. This meal was only $14.99 and was a huge serving. The steak is thin, but very tender and full of flavor. The chicken breast was seasoned and cooked perfectly, but the highlight of the dish without a doubt were the 6 scrumpdullyishous shrimp. These were absolutely to die for! The dish was topped with queso sauce which made every bite even better. My wife had the shredded chicken chimichanga which came with rice and beans. This dish was only $9.99 and was one of the best chimichangas that she has had in a very long time. There was a very generous serving of chicken inside and the flavor was out of this world! There is a very wide variety on the menu and I cannot wait to go back and try something else -- but it will be very difficult to change from what I ordered today. Don't let the fact that this is in the same building as a gas station prevent you from coming here. There is a separate entrance and it is completely separated from the gas station. Again, very clean, excellent food, fast and friendly service. We will return again and again! Without a doubt, the drive is definitely worth the difference.”

“A Kool place! Great food, with fast friendly service. It's now one favorite Mexican restaurant in Richmond, KY. Fantastic decor, and very clean.☆☆☆☆☆5stars.”

“I'd like to start this review off by being g totally transparent here. This isn't the biggest place, neither is it the quickest place. However, what it is is something by itself, completely making it a truly unique experience to be had by all.

John, the owner, is an interesting cat with his approach as the proprietor, cook, bartender, prep cook, and short order cook. There is only one thing he makes, and that's hamburgers. The varieties available that day are listed on the blackboard on the wall to your right when you walk in.

The drinks available are on a blackboard on the wall to your left, and these are limited to a few domestics. Soft drinks are limited to bottled water or Ale eight one. Order placement is limited to your seating, which is limited to 12 stools at the counter. Orders are taken beginning at the left end of the counter, moving to the right, one order at a time, one burger completion at a time.

Be forwarned that this isn't the place to go if you're in a hurry! The decor is somewhere between dive bar and Americana diner with stickers from all over the country on the walls and ceiling. There's an old BMX from hanging from the ceiling to the extreme left ceiling, as well as a couple of vintage skateboard decks and motor cycle parts to round out the decor.

The structure itself is an old diner car circa in the 1950s housing this curiously eclectic collection. There are a few stools against the left back wall where you can sit while you wait for the counter stools to become available.

When we entered, the proprietor was playing some really great stoner metal from the band Sleep that wasn't overly loud but added yet another touch to the already unique experience. We were a party of five, all having a great time in this intimate place, enjoying each other company and that of the owner John.

John's hamburgers are started out as balls of ground beef that are flattened out on a griddle that is limited in size, yet adequate to include the strips of bacon for your order.

If needed, there are a few tables outside to sit once you've received your order. Hours of operation are limited, and John closes once he's sold out. Check hours in advance on John's Winks Facebook page for specials and hours.

A really cool experience with a local business owner, the type that needs your help to thrive to keep our downtowns alive.

I can't wait to go back.”

“Poppy’s Ice Cream truck has visited our neighborhood twice and the kids absolutely love it! They are so friendly and have a wonderful selection of ice cream! 🍦”

“OMG are these the best donuts that I have ever had in my entire life. My husband is on his route in Kentucky and brings these donuts home to the family we can't get enough .They are absolutely amazing we love them ,the kids love them, they are so good. They must have a pastry chef on site who's making these donuts because they are so amazing. But that's not the only thing ! They also have meals at this place that are beyond amazing. My husband got a lunch there and brought some home to me. I had some of their Mac and cheese that was so creamy so cheesy and so flavorful it was unbelievably good!!! We live in Tennessee he has a route in Kentucky we have actually talked about going up there on the weekend just to get a meal and some donuts. Now you know a place is good with gas prices as high as they are that you're gonna travel that far to get some food. If you're in the area , if you're not in the area..... you're gotta go to Richmond KY and get yourself to Doughdaddy's on Moberly Rd. I promise you you won't regret it they're amazing and I also heard they are very nice and a great staff I can't wait to meet them! Anytime my husband has a route in that area he stops in. Thank you Doughdaddy's please don't ever go anywhere you guys are amazing”

“A shout-out to the ever welcoming staff at Java City, Amanda and Katie, serving up delicious coffee. It'll be pretty nice to have the seating areas around the library cafe available again in the fall, so convenient for relaxed meetings, energizing ideas.”

“Great music and atmosphere! My husband and I were staying in a local hotel for the night while passing through. So glad we decided to check this place out. The band was amazing, we danced the night away and had a great time!”

“My favorite place in Madison Co!”

“The food was fast and delicious, and the guy who waited on us was AMAZING! Will definitely come back when in the area again!”

“Ordered pizza for our employee meeting today. Delicious pizza! Great service. I was concerned when no one answered the phone, but they got me exactly what I needed even though they were understaffed. The people working there really step up as a team and have their customer service game up. Meadowthorpe Location”

“Big City always makes great pizza. They do a good job on all my favorites like BBQ chicken pizza, Hawaiian pizza, and buffalo chicken pizza. They call them things like the midway, but I can’t be bothered to remember what they call them.

Parking: Right out front”

“First time here , had the best pralines and cream , ice cream that was amazing !
Went on a cold January day , and wasn't busy .
Didn't realize , they had a drive through !
Jessica , was absolutely amazing , her kindness she showed us , was top notch .
She noticed I was with an elderly gentleman and helped me , constantly the entire visit , she went over and beyond !
Mary was also , just as kind , these girls are , exactly who I would want to work for myself , if I owned this store !”

“They have the best home cooking. The biscuits and the meatloaf are delicious �.”

“Advice for people who are new to working customer service/ any job: if you bargain with your co-worker to change tasks so you don't have to make drink, decide quickly. Also, try to whisper when you have this very prolonged conversation.”

“I brought 2 ladies with me yesterday afternoon to this Golden Corral in Richmond, Ky. The food was in order. The buffet area was clean and neatly organized. We came down to Richmond from Lexington. I am the 2 ladies ate decently. I know I ate real good after church. The server named Stephanie was good to us. This Golden Corral is just out the way. This might out rate the Golden Corral in Lexington if this keeps up.”

“First time customer, food was delicious will return to try more items from menu.”

“The atmosphere, service, pre-meal goldfish and the green olives were just a few highlights of this amazing meal. In all my 2.5 years, I have never felt more like I was in Italy, until my trip to the Lantern Ridge Larosas”

“Great food, Great service, Great prices,”

“Best coffee in Richmond Ky! Awesome barista‘s, veteran discount who’s the competitor doesn’t do! They know me by name and usually ask when I walk up the usual, medium or large?

“My wife and I live in London. 40 minutes down I-75 from Richmond. We drove up there this past Sunday afternoon. We sat at the bar and had an appetizer with drinks. We loved it. The food was great and the bartender/server Tyler was fantastic! We will be back.”

“The food was good and the cashier brought the elderly man with me his coffee right away. While I was at the drink fountainhead brought our food to the table. The staff was very friendly and the hospitality was awesome.”

“Cook Out in Richmond, KY is clutch! I got the tray with 2 chicken quesadillas, Cajun fries, and cheese curds—so good and super filling. You seriously can’t beat the price. I fed my whole family of 4 (including two always-hungry teens) for under $35. Great food, fast service, and awesome value. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Wanted to give a shout out to shift leader Kiley! She took my order promptly and with a smile. She then bagged my order.

“Just went to the drive thru to get my order.
The staff was friendly, advised me that the order would take a few minutes, r etc.
Food was hot, chicken in the wraps wasn't greasy, the tomatoes on my Daily Double were ripe, the mustard had been added and the drinks had just the right amount of ice.
We sat in the parking lot, watched traffic while eating and theorized on where they were headed, how was that car even on the road!, etc
Open 24/7 so give them a try.”

“Charlesy, I'm sure I spelled your name wrong. You run a great shift and are a delight every time I come thru. Truly appreciate you and the whole taco bell crew. Thank you keep up the great work.”

“Big City always makes great pizza. They do a good job on all my favorites like BBQ chicken pizza, Hawaiian pizza, and buffalo chicken pizza. They call them things like the midway, but I can’t be bothered to remember what they call them.

Parking: Right out front”

“Great service, they do make mistakes but make it right when they do. When possible this location tries to be fast and efficient which is saying something because they are right beside the interstate and that makes them very busy. Most of their staff tries very hard to do a great job every day and are fun con people to talk too. I only gave the food three stars because it could use some work but I'm an it's all prefab and not the staffs fault but rather reflects on a corporate level of business. Parking sucks so park at panda express and walk over and save yourself stress. I like how they draw holiday specific drawings on the counter if a new picture each week. I find cute and visually appealing. For the next week they will be closing an hour early at the hour of 9:00 p.m. I was told by the barista that after the next week is over they should go back to their regular hours as long as they can find enough staff to staff the store.

Vegetarian options: I really like the breakfast egg white wrap and the lunch mozzarella basil sandwich personally. They're not very big though but I don't eat a lot for breakfast and I eat these both for breakfast. They are both good in my opinion and are not a ton of calories.

Parking: The parking lot sucks and can be dangerous. First it's small and hard to turn around in and always busy. If you enter the drive thru you are stuck there is no way to exit it.”

“My girlfriend and I ordered online. Super easy and hassle free. She went to pick the food up and the woman was super nice and friendly. She told her to have a blessed day and we couldn't thank her enough because life has been rough recently. So if you're reading this, THANK YOU! Will definitely be back. Food was amazing. Hospitality and kindness was even better.”

“Best coffee in Richmond Ky! Awesome barista‘s, veteran discount who’s the competitor doesn’t do! They know me by name and usually ask when I walk up the usual, medium or large?

“The food was good-typical of any IHOP. The service was slow- this is usually the expectation for this location. There was an unpleasant odor- but honestly could have been coming from the group seated behind us.”

“Everything is SO YUMMY!!! Plus the Service is GREAT!!!”

“Yo! These guys DoorDash skills are ON POINT! It was ready for the driver when they got there and it was still straight out of the kitchen hot when it got to my dorm room. Also.... Dem Fries tho!!!”

“me and my daughter would go here every Saturday it's the only thing she ever wants...well today me my wife my dad and our three kids went...when they brought us our bill they had charged us for 5 adult buffets. than when I told them about it the waitress had the audacity to ask me well I need to see the two boys I'd. I told them for what they don't have Id they are 11 they don't need it. the waitress said some states require that I told her well we are in KY and they don't...got the bill taken care of than we were leaving she started saying what no tip. I asked what she goes no tip..no here's your tip in KY they don't require an 11 year old to have an id...think from now on we are going to the Chinese place in Winchester...worst time I have ever had in this place...”
