40 Best American Restaurants near Richmond

“I don’t typically leave reviews, but I have to say the variety of food, the attentive waitstaff, and quality of family dining is superb. The patrons tonight included a young man, maybe mid-20’s who stood up to thank a veteran for his service as he was leaving his dining table by himself. All around a great dining experience and the coffee is bomb!“

“1st time visit this past wknd. Could certainly use some updating but the one very large update needs to be serving draft beer in an actual GLASS… Ive never been served a beer in a hard plastic cup (?)much less 32oz.. I ended up ordering bottles after that… Also, the menu was paired way down cause it was a band night.. We arrived 1 1/2hrs prior to band so full menu should have been available… Do better is all I can say…“

I see there’s no new recommendations so I posting one.“

“Have been here several times for good food and drinks but, this is the first time I'm leaving a review. We went here last night with friends and all of our kids. At one point all of our kids were playing pool and an employee or owner (not sure which position) had her dog with her. My daughter who has autism was very excited but in the mix she said something that could be perceived as rude but the lady with the dog did not react and seemed to let it go without judgment which I really appreciate. ?“
