“We were taken to Carytown Indian Cuisine last night by our kids. We were so impressed with our experience! The food was amazing. I requested a specially prepared curry vegetable dish, and the chef/owner was happy to create it for me. Several of our party enjoyed tikki masala with chicken. We also enjoyed lentils, cooked to perfection and wonderful chocolate lava cake for dessert. The service was impecable. Our waiters were so attentive and responsive, even though it was a very busy night. The ambience was warm and classy. The chef/owner was so gracious and even visited us at our table. I can't wait to return to CIC.”
“Had to make a stop downtown for business and grabbed an early dinner right before Christmas. It was our first time trying this spot. It was so wonderful, the food, the server, atmosphere and the creative creation when I asked for one of their signature cocktails to be hot vs iced. Happy new year and here’s to wonderful food and company!”
“We had a fantastic dinner. I'll highlight 2 of the dishes: the beef and lamb meatballs were delicious, perfectly seasoned and somehow incredibly light. One of the specials was halibut on lentils with fennel - again perfectly seasoned and cooked with a sauce that had a little kick. Yum! Now I know why it can be hard to get a reservation! Hanna was an excellent server, and we were very well taken care of as we celebrated September birthdays.”

“We google searched "restaurants near me" while we were in Richmond. The results displayed a long list of restaurants and after reviewing several we found Elegant Cuizines and I knew this was the perfect spot. We made a reservation for 8:30pm But we were running late so we call the restaurant and they assured it wouldn't be an issue. When we arrived we were greeted by Charles and seated by the waitress. The menu host a variety of foods that is dairy, free and gluten-free food. The food was beautifully plated and was to die for. Chef Theresa is making art in plate form. The ambiance was amazand the service was incredible. Elegant Cuizines can get my money any day. Charles and Theresa, thank you for making our night special, and we will be back soon”

“DRR catered our wedding on 6/8/24. They were punctual, professional, and knew what they were doing! I had a stress free day with them at my wedding! The bartender was also incredibly personable! She had even took time to visit my wedding website so she knew what to expect. I was shocked (in a positive way!) it truly shows just how dedicated they are to their customers. From the taste testing to the day of, we couldn’t have asked for better people to work with! We also received lots of compliments on how well the food tasted!! Their sweet potatoes are to die for, but seriously, all of their food is delicious!! Stop here for your BBQ wedding menu!!”

“Wow… this place really serves authentic German food! Spent four years with the Army in Heidelberg and grew to love German cuisine.

“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.”
“The food first and foremost was outstanding. Delicious ! Crab hush puppies were amazing. The staff were amazing. The ambiance was perfect. I will definitely recommend and will be going back.”

“Friendly, welcoming atmosphere with great food. The North American Philly Sandwich, and the Tots with cheese blend. Wonderful mix of flavors! The health options of beverages and love the Stubborn fountain drink. We will definitely be visiting here again and will recommend it to our friends! 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This is my third time coming here. The staff is friendly. Our waiter was Mateo and he is awesome! Very sweet, professional & attentive. Good prices & good food. I recommend the red rice with peppers & different meats.”
“Front counter staff is friendly and quick and if you've been there, you've likely met the owner, Olaf. He takes great care of his guests. The place is super clean with tons of seating. Clearly, everyone has found out about it because it's busier every time I go—and I almost always run into someone I know. But there's still plenty of seating. High-quality coffee and food, great atmosphere, and you're supporting a local small business.”
“I love this place! Kudos to the owner and staff for an awesome operation.
I've been coming since they opened, and have never had a bad time.
Simple, grilled hot dogs, toasted buns and ice cream on a picnic table is what you find here. No frills, but damn that grill is so good!
Keep up the great work.
Points off atmosphere because I'm always harassed by bees or wasps when I eat in. Not their fault obviously. Won't stop me from going there. It is what it is.
Parking: Parking lot shared with restaurant scores the lot. I've never had issue, but you may.
Kid-friendliness: It's hot dogs, chips and ice cream”
“I absolutely love everything about this bake shop. Everything was absolutely delicious and geat. The many vegan options. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-08”
“a coffee shop with mostly vegan or optionally vegan ethiopian food on a well-marked menu. generous with the injera. it was delicious and i will be back.”
“I Enjoyed the chicken shawarma. I have never tried one before and it did have different flavors than I normally eat, it was good. It is not a lot of food but a fair size for a sandwich type item. My daughter got the kids 3 p. chicken tenders and that was a large amount of food lots of fries, extra crispy chicken tenders, piping hot. We also tried the chocolate baklava it was good and very sweet, I think I prefer traditional baklava but I am glad I tried it.
I was very surprised they were not busy at all, Wednesday at noon.”
“Fantastic burgers and fresh fries. very clean establishment overall”
“amazing bread and quality. I've bought laofs meant for the week and haven't seen Wednesday because they are so good it's hard not to work into a meal. fluffy light and perfectly baked!”
“Food is amazing and fresh!! We found our new spot!!”
“First time here, had a doc appt nearby. Stopped in and it made me a tad late but PHEW was it worth it! The latte syrups are phenomenal and the service was 10/10. I could tell they were very busy but someone brought me a little plate of watermelon with a smile while I waited. So sweet! Def try the cheese grits!!”
“I love this place! The food is terrific and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. I've had the classic samosa, golden milk chai and desi lo mein. Each was out of this world! The owner strives to make his guests feel at home and encourages you to mingle and make new friends. I encourage you to try Gold Lion for the food, drink and friendly vibe!”
“The food first and foremost was outstanding. Delicious ! Crab hush puppies were amazing. The staff were amazing. The ambiance was perfect. I will definitely recommend and will be going back.”
“Atmosphere was great and so was the food. I will go again.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Not enough stars to really rate this......Came in for the first time this evening and I have to say love the ambience of the restaurant.. What really took my breath away was the food.. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos (3) regular and woooooow.. Amazingly wonderfully flavored.. I will definitely eat here again and again..they have earned a faithful customer here... My stomach can't thank them enough.. beyond perfect”
“Best chicken in RVA!! Always hot & fresh !! Customer service is always good not to mention how quick they get you in our out !!
All sides are good ! Can't go wrong with anything you pick ! Sweet tea is always on point !”
“Our favorite taco truck in Richmond. The steak taco salads are to die for. Guys are friendly. Food is awesome but you are in the parking lot of the convenience store so two stars for atmosphere.”
“Whenever I’m in town. I visit here. Love their bagels and vegan options.”
“Price is great, crabs are delicious, cooked hot to order. And the customer service is outstanding!”
“I visited this place while visiting my sister in Richmond. Fun place, and I love the food truck in the back. Staff are fun and lively. I hot a sampler and they were all very good!”
“I got the chicken soup & grande burrito chicken… the soup was really good.
My kids had the burrito, I didn’t taste it but it looked good and they finished it.
Will def return for the sopa ?”
“The food is great I got the quarter chicken combo and the taco salad it is delicious everything on the menu is great you won't be disappointed the customer service is marvelous”
“The waiter didn’t seem too happy.? He was short with us and not welcoming. That really left me not wanting to eat there but my kid wanted pho after a long ride from Virginia Beach. (And people have crappy days.) The pho was okay. Broth was okay. Noodles a little over cooked. They did not skimp on the meat so that was a plus. Ordered chicken pho but got veggie pho and that was okay because my other kid was grounded anyway. Veggie pho would definitely make the list of foods to give your grounded kid. She hated it and was pretty mad. I guess that’s a plus.
We paid. Waited for the receipt to sign and tip but there was nothing. All in all, it wasn’t the worse experience -just awkward.
Hope the waiter feels better.”
“First time ever having kombucha! Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful and guided me through a tasting flight which was super fun and educational. So many options as far as flavor profiles and amounts! Nice, relaxing ambiance to enjoy trying all the flavors!”
“Coming from South Europe this really fed my curiosity on American Pizza , Loved it felt Cozy and the Atmosphere just lovely.. I'd recommend it for all Pizza Lovers...”

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free milk alternatives available”
“Our first time here.. We just found by accident and so glad we did. Food and service Absolutely amazing.”
“We stopped at this place during our roadtrip without much expectations since many places that have 4+ star reviews had let us down before. Not this one though! All the dishes we had were delicious . Momo chutney was spot on! Chowmein as close to authentic Nepali chowmein as I have got. Staff was friendly and accommodating to our requests. Ambience was very pleasant. Would return to this place in my next trip. I wish this place was in my town.”
“I’ve been 5 times to Hot Pot 757 Midlothian and it never disappoints. Most recently celebrated my husband’s birthday! The staff was so very attentive, plenty of food to choose from and upon ordering food would arrive table side in moments of ordering. And if you let them know it’s a birthday, the robot will sing to the birthday person!”
Cheap Eats
“Wonderful, dense, New England style ice cream. I’ve yet to try a flavor that was not absolutely wonderful. Inventive flavors. You can’t go wrong with anything these guys put out. Also very friendly staff!”
“We were in town visiting for a conference, and we found the restaurant online. We headed to the restaurant, but when we got there the owner explained that the restaurant had just closed for the evening. He gave us a few recommendations on other places to eat, and we started to search for an Uber. A few minutes later, the owner, Tysean, opened the door and offered to go back in the kitchen and cook something for us. We couldn’t pass that offer up. We waited for a few minutes, and he brought us out some of the best chicken I’ve eaten in a long time along with some, nicely seasoned potato wedges and hot buttery honey biscuits. Along with some honey mustard dipping sauce and sweet tea to wash it all down, we had an amazing meal. I’ll definitely be back, and you should visit if you are in Richmond.”
“I had never been. I didn't know how to order but figured out you order from the computer but I did look at the display first. I tried this apple pie like cookie. .. Aaammmazzzing. Loved it. I keep going back hoping for it or another fruit one like it but no luck.”
“Me and the kids had a wonderful experience at happy happy! The owner is SO sweet! We tried 4 different items: slushies, milk tea and frozen yogurt and everything was so good! Definitely coming back.”
“I’m so happy to have Sefton a block away from my office! Aways incredible service, consistently amazing coffee, and fantastic pastries. The random surprises, whether a flower, penguin, or fortune cookie with the coffee, are always an added treat.”
“Great coffee, great service. I plan most of my meetings at this location!”
“Ist time customer- Ordered from DoorDash and I'll definitely order from this restaurant again. The Steamed Pork Bun has a nice flavor and the bun was soft but firm like it should be. The Steamed Veggie Bun was very tasty. The filling for that is like eating the filling of a veg eggroll. Both of the above buns were perfectly steamed! The Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings were my fave- so yummy, juicy, and just a great flavor. I would have liked a variety of sauce options instead of the same dipping sauce for the buns & dumplings to jazz things up a bit, but this was a really nice dining experience. Pretty traditional in terms of the sauce. The site is not allowing me to post pics with this review but the filling was pretty generous in both buns as well as in the dumplings. The Chicken Soup was just ok- it's missing a little something, maybe just needs some seasoning.”
“SO many great flavors to choose from; roasted strawberry will spoil you on regular strawberry ice cream forever! The cannoli ice cream(with mini cannoli shell) was excellent. My daughter always gets a sweet little macaron on top of whatever she chooses. It’s such a great spot to grab a great scoop (or two!) of ice cream.”
“I love going here, the service and atmosphere is always awesome. The owner is great with the people. I went in today for a quick lunch and the food was hot and fast as always.”
“An absolutely delightful coffee shop. From delicious array of breakfast items like biscuits, bagels, and wraps to their wonderfully creative lunch options, easily makes it one of the best places in Northside. Oh, and the coffee? Fantastic blend and variety. Let's not forget the employees! They are the nicest and coolest bunch of folks you would ever hope to see working in a coffee shop. A+ joint with a groovy atmosphere and makes you want to settle in for a while and enjoy your cuppa.”
“Tin Roof Rusted Hash was SO YUMMY! I love finding traditional foods prepared in unusual, crative ways! So refreshing to find a bread-free option at a restaurant that's veggies but not just salad. Fast, friendly service, too!”
“Great food. Busy place. Great service. Interesting menu showcasing popular regional and southern influences
Parking: Brunch parking can be tight
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and enjoyed their menu”
“Paix Coffee is exceptional craft coffee. I usually come by while doing my laundry across the street and enjoy a cortado while I wait. I love the atmosphere of the shop, and the little patio outside is a lovely bonus!”
“I had my first visit yesterday, and it was absolutely exceptional! The location is easy to find, with convenient street parking available within a block. The staff were not only friendly and attentive but also made me feel like a valued guest. The ambiance was intimate and cozy, complemented by amazing live music and delicious drinks. I’m already looking forward to returning for Jazz Saturdays, which occur on the first Saturday of each month. Highly recommended!”

“Wow!! What a great dinner! The atmosphere and food was AMAZING. Bread service, spinach and artichoke dip, ribeye and California chicken sandwich, crème brûlée were all great! Loved the attention to my son’s tree nut allergy. Best of all was our server, Gwyn. She anticipated everything we needed and was the best! I will definitely be back! Just found my family group birthday dinner spot! Thank you!!”

“Arrived to an intimate, homey vibe. The hostess and service staff were welcoming and courteous. Fun takes on southern favorites and great portions, you will definitely be able to share or take home leftovers. The scallops were melt in your mouth delicious and the compressed watermelon was inventive. Def recommend!”
“Cocktails various margaritas - were great, we got the trio of guac, salsa, and queso for an app which was really good, and our meals - fajitas, enciladas, and the beans and rice bowl with shrimp were all delicious too!”
“Recently visited this place to try their highly reviewed food and grocery products. Authentic Palestinian dishes, we tried chicken shawarma, steak n cheese sub, kofta wrap and falafel. Food was served hot and we could tell how much effort was made to deliver the best quality and service. Highly recommended, will be back again soon.”
“My husband and I enjoyed a lovely meal at Grisette from the warm greeting by Andreas to the final sip of French press coffee. Charcuterie selections varied and wonderful. Felt mustards overpowered our cheese selections so that could be passed, depending on your selections. The berry puree fabulous, do not pass on this! On site prepared bread is excellent and another plate delivered with a smile. We enjoyed pork milanese and steak frites, both with delicious flavor, frites done to perfection, pork had wonderful crisp coating and served with a lemon wedge. Milanese needs its lemon, love it. Accompanying petit salad a perfect match with it's vinaigrette. Finally, although not needed, we had to taste the excellent house profiteroles as well as their special dessert of peach with pecan crumb tart. Oh my, what a peach treat to our taste buds. Seasonal so have to get there soon. This was our maiden voyage to Grisette but, happily, our relationship will continue. A lovely bistrot where you can dine comfortably dressed, relax and enjoy a delightful meal.”
“Awesome cocktails. Busy night so things were a little backed up, but the servers definitely hustled to make sure everyone was taken care of and it was much appreciated. We shared several plates and everything was fantastic! Still thinking about the gluten-free seasonal risotto … so delicious.”
“We had two of the specials tonight - lamb stew and salmon. Delicious and bountiful meals and wonderful desserts (as always).”
“I found the food last night to be incredible and loved the staff and owner who took the time to interact with my dining party. The zucchini kofka I ordered is out of this world — I’m still thinking about it and will definitely order it again!”
“Great service. I love a restaurant that care about their guest, especially the ones with certain food allergies. Trio also have a nice atmosphere”
“Cute brewer with a Nordic theme! Lots of different activities, different nights. Good crowd of people they have a whole bunch of fruity beers and often have a food truck out front.”
“What a fabulous place! It's exactly what a sophisticated, themed cocktail bar should be. The decor is moody, festive, and fun. The cocktails were pitch-perfect. Just go.”
“This bodega bar is a hidden gem! I went with a friend, and we were blown away by the amazing vibes. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and cozy, perfect for a night out. Special shoutout to Lu and Sam, who were absolutely fantastic - their service really elevated our experience. The drinks were delicious, and the overall ambiance was just right. If you're looking for a unique spot with great drinks and even better company, this bodega bar is a must-visit!”
“We dined at Lost Letter tonight for our 10 year anniversary. The entire evening was perfect. Superb service, drinks, food, and atmosphere. We both said that it felt like we were in one of our favorite Chicago restaurants. Being welcomed with a “lost letter” at our table wishing us a happy anniversary was also such a sweet, sentimental touch. Thank you for a memorable evening. We can’t wait to come back!”
“We came to Revel with friends who are regulars. Revel is their new go to place and I can see why. Revel is relaxed with friendly staff and great small plates, my favorite. Every dish we had was expertly prepared. Pork empanadas, grilled broccolini, scallops, a spinach salad. To pick a favorite is tough because every plate was really good. We will definitely be back!”
“First time eating here at the Latino Market and it was absolutely delicious!”
“We ate at La Grotta for the first time last night. It will be the first of many! The service, food, and ambiance were spectacular. We were a party of 3 and each of us cleaned our plates. Our friend with Celiac could choose from almost the entire menu which is unheard of, especially at an Italian restaurant. If you're looking for a truly delicious meal, you'll find it at La Grotta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Excellent food. The lady who recommended wine was excellent. Provided us very good option of reds (we had lamb for entree) over wide price range. The one we chose was perfect.
Special on menu was roast lamb sourced locally. Was divine. Basque cheesecake is a must try.”
“Great service and presentation! I ordered the Smoked Salmon Royal for breakfast. As I slowly sliced the egg and anticipated a warm runny texture, I was disappointed to find it was slightly overcooked. If the egg was poached properly, it would have added better quality to the dish. Instead, I relied on the redeeming quality of the Hollandaise sauce combined with a deliciously smoked Salmon. Also, the fresh fruit was a plus.”
“Easily one of my favorite meals in Richmond. Delicious oysters and other food, amazing beer, great service. Everyone is so friendly and polite that it’s refreshing to talk about food. I saw some of the waitstaff talk to some ornery older gentlemen the other night - they could’ve easily told them to pound sand. They didn’t! They’re professional and calm always, and who could dislike a place like that. They have a customer for life in me.”
“My first time to visit! I had no idea it was there! That may be the point. Loved it!”
“Literally my favorite Greek restaurant EVER. Dine in or take out, I am never unhappy. ❤️❤️❤️ Pictured is vegetarian moussaka, lamb arnaki with Greek green beans and potatoes, and a Greeked up salad.”
“Great family restaurant all indian and Pakistani food available taste like home made food ready delicious and owner staff all ready friendly and nice ready good place for eating”
“Food and drinks were amazing! Oysters were clean and shucked well. Only downside is there is a dozen oyster limit for happy hour but everything else was awesome! I got the silken tofu which was one of the best tofu dishes I’ve ever had. And the coffee drink with cherry and cold foam was like dessert in a cup. Sourdough was piping hot, stretchy and had a good bite.”
“This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my life. I think about it every day. I've had Ethiopian food at bunch of other places- this is my fav. Go now. Also I'm vegan- love that vegan options are clearly marked.”
“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.”
“Just went by to order the best thing on the menu - that I had been craving and recommending to everyone - and it is no longer available. Boo. The ‘replacement’ for the fabulous ‘Plato del Pacifico’ salad doesn’t come close. Too bad. Dare we hope that decision can be reconsidered?”
“My best friend and I scheduled an afternoon tea to celebrate our friendship The Queen’s Library Tea Room was perfectly perfect. The service, food and tea were all amazing. This is a must do in Richmond! We will be back!”
“Wonderful friendly place with fantastic food and ambiance. A great way to celebrate with friends and family- or date night!”
“Fun little venue. The only reason it wouldn't be 5 stars is that they my wife waited for her food for 30 minutes only to find out that the cook was running late. So lost some money on that because the food would be ready in the middle of the concert.”
“I absolutely enjoyed my self there and my family did as well. The owner came to our table introduced herself and check on us periodically through our dinner. The waiter was very polite and patient. The food was delicious and hot when it came to the table. I give them 10/10 and my family and I definitely will be returning.”
“What a lovely hidden gem in the heart of Bellevue. Excellent from start to finish! From the FOH crew, to the delicious food, to the amazing cocktails, to the fair prices, and understated, but very cool decor, I'm definitely impressed.I've been there about three times now, so this review is long overdue. This is regarding my most recent visit, but they've all been consistently wonderful.We started with the chips and Buffalo dip, which is probably the best I've ever had. They make the chips in house and they're absolutely perfect! Not too salty which always ruins the chips and dip appetizer at other restaurants for me.I then had a Cesar salad with both chicken AND shrimp (I'm a protein gal) and while yes -- who can screw up a salad? -- it was perfect with fresh ingredients and (what I suspect to be) homemade croutons. I didn't ask but it was pretty evident. Further, I absolutely detest soggy salad and this isn't it. The lettuce was very crisp, they didn't overdo it with the dressing, and did I mention the croutons? lolI washed all of this down with probably the best Moscow Mule (done right -- should we call them Ukraine Mules now?), and even though I was beyond full, we finished it off with a shared slice of divine Key Lime pie. Seriously, run, don't walk.The service was quick and personable. Our meal was quick (I recommend getting there early for the lunch rush) and spot on in every aspect. I also want to mention there's a small patio out front, so we will have to try that next time. We will definitely be going back!”
“This was my first visit and it was fantastic! From beginning to end, super friendly staff, great atmosphere, huge drinks, fresh and delicious food. You must try this place! You will not be disappointed.”
“A few good beers but not a huge selection for a flight. We had our dog with us and sat outside. We could only handle the heat for about an hour as they had no shade available and cooler water was not iced down. I would recommend this only as a quick drink spot not a place you should expect to spend a lot of time.
The inside looks very cool but the outside has very little appeal to it. If we hadn’t googled it first we probably wouldn’t have stopped.”
“Hands down some of the BEST food I have ever had. As for Indian, best Indian I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend!! We will be back to try many other items.”
“fabulous food, great flavors, excellent service, and a fun place to eat and relax. we all loved it.”
“First time eating here. The decor and ambiance was great. The vibe was good. Our waitress Kelly was awesome. The food was DELICIOUS & portions were hearty! There is outdoor dining with heat lamps and fireplace. We ate inside and got to watch the bartender work his magic. The drinks were delish too! Overall, this little gem is too good to miss!”
“We didn’t get food, only had cocktails. That said, we absolutely loved it here! The decor is beautiful. Lots of seating. Gorgeous hardwood bar. And the drinks…!! ???
The cocktails were awesome. Very well made, thoughtful and creative. Very well balanced and well executed. There’s a range of different options, including introducing me to a booze I’ve never heard of before (sotol). If we lived closer we’d definitely be back!
Oh… and the playlist was all 90s rap! What’s not to love?”
“Loved the food, loved the vibe! If you are looking for a quiet, low key breakfast place, this is not it! It's chic, it's retro, and the vibe is upbeat. Really gave me a boho kind of feel. Highly recommend! Great service!!”
“Awesome restaurant with the best food I’ve ever eaten. The serving portions were large, hot, scrumptious tasting, and home cooked….it was unbelievable. You must go there, I guarantee you will return again and again. The quaint facility was serene with a very warm atmosphere. The staff was impeccable.”
“Highly recommend stone brewing. They have indoor seating as well as outdoor. as far as food goes, I would give that about four stars. The food does come from a food truck, but it’s not terrible. The staff is absolutely amazing here. This is a great place to stop for an evening to have a few drinks with some friends.”
“Fantastic food!!! Varied menu and very fresh”
“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:)”
“Me and daughter had a great lunch and Jamilla our server was a joy. Greeted with a big smile and was so helpful helping us decide. The service was quick, food was hot, delicious and enough to take home. If your in richmond stop by. You won’t be disappointed.”
“The manager at Beijing definitely deserves a shout-out. He is a true "manager" unlike so many at other restaurants who never check on tables and are essentially "mute". I have watched him in action several times. Very personable, truly cares about his customer's experience.”
“I had two bbq meals one day, one catered by the new hip restaurant and one by Truly Scrumptious. Truly Scrumptious was leaps and bounds beyond in terms of flavor, balance, and freshness. Would highly recommend!”
“Price is great, crabs are delicious, cooked hot to order. And the customer service is outstanding!”
“Great beer and live music plus food”
“I visited this place while visiting my sister in Richmond. Fun place, and I love the food truck in the back. Staff are fun and lively. I hot a sampler and they were all very good!”
“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!”
“I have been here before, but it's been several years. The place feels more casual; more friendly. I ordered a sauvignon blanc, but they only serve Italian wines. It was a white from the Veneto. Excellent. I asked that it be at room temperature, and my request was net without a blink. My companion and I shared the arugula salad as an antipasto. Peppery arugula with a lemon olive oil dressing top with a sharp salty shaved Parmigiano. My main was the tuna with peppers. This was slightly sweet, and where peppers can often be a distraction, this was amazingly complimentary. My side was a yummy tagliatelle with earthy wild mushrooms. The sea and the earth. My companion has the rockfish hot and beautifully cooked to maintain the tenderness of the fish. Dessert was the lemon mascarpone cake, a bursting flavorful end to a most satisfying repast!”
“Nice place, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food, big portions, good size menu (variety), clean and organized.”
“best food I've ever tasted! try the grits and brisket!”
“Food was delicious but service was a bit slow due to small wait staff. Our wait person, David, was very attentive and helpful when he waited on us. I will return!!”
“Went to grab coffee waited about 15 min for coffee and had to leave it was super slow and lost money .. truly just thought it would be a much quicker experience have never had this issue before but hopefully things will improve”
“Amazing place. Parking is a task, so is everything downtown. Totally recommend”
“Hands down one of the best whiskey experiences so far. From the selection of whiskey to the knowledge of the bartenders Nick and Brian, this will be somewhere we keep coming back to. The food was delicious. We had the wings, cornbread, brisket and fries. The brisket can compete with bbq places that focus solely on bbq. The service of Nick and Brian show how passionately they care about whiskey and the experience of the customer. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and taste a huge selection of whiskey.”
“Really good selection of stouts. Comfortable atmosphere.”

“I had the pleasure of having a surprise party for my wife's 50th Birthday on 3/16/2024. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing job Ron Stallings and The Speakeasy/Hippodrome staff did for my party. The food was DELICIOUS!! The service was prompt and professional. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The final product truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a venue for an event.”

“We were taken to Carytown Indian Cuisine last night by our kids. We were so impressed with our experience! The food was amazing. I requested a specially prepared curry vegetable dish, and the chef/owner was happy to create it for me. Several of our party enjoyed tikki masala with chicken. We also enjoyed lentils, cooked to perfection and wonderful chocolate lava cake for dessert. The service was impecable. Our waiters were so attentive and responsive, even though it was a very busy night. The ambience was warm and classy. The chef/owner was so gracious and even visited us at our table. I can't wait to return to CIC.”
“We've been going across town to the Broad Street location for years, but live in Midlothian. We were so happy when they told us they were opening up a sister location in Chesterfield, just 7 minutes from Midlothian! We were NOT disappointed! The place was packed, yet we were seated, offered drinks, asked about ordering, and receiving our food all in a very timely manner. And, just like the other location, the food was sooooo tasty! My apologies to the Broad Street location, but I'll probably eat here more than there.”

“Going to Coopers Hawk as always an enjoyable experience. Part of the fun is the anticipation and knowing you're going to have a great time! Miss cookie always greets everyone so warmly. Her smile is something special! It's wonderful the way she recognizes Wine Club members and frequent visitors. Marshall was especially attentive at the wine bar. He's very knowledgeable and personable. Charm is an absolutely delightful server! Very attentive, very helpful with menu selections, so willing to please, without being overbearing!”
“Well, we want to get together for a nice dinner. This is where we go. We always have good service. The ambience is perfect. The food is delicious. We went for a birthday dinner for my granddaughter, but found out when we arrived that they no longer give her a slice of, her favorite dessert which used to be complementary for birthdays. Even though their desserts are delicious. I would highly recommend this place if you want a special dining experience.”
“My wife and I went there for our 35th anniversary. We arrived a little early but they sent us upstairs and we were seated immediately. Our server Lindsey was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive and thoughtful. Our food was delicious and we decided to have dessert and it to was great. When Lindsey brought us the check it was about as I would expect for a nice restaurant and the dessert was free because of our anniversary. When we're in Richmond again I would definitely return to this restaurant and I would ask for Lindsey to be our server.”
“Came here for a little birthday celebration with a friend and Genevieve was PHENOMENAL!! 10/10❤️❤️”
“I can not recommend Perry’s any higher, 10/10! Today was my dad’s birthday. It was his first birthday to celebrate without the comfort of his wife of 34 years - my mom. I told the staff this when I got there. They absolutely delivered on a fantastic dining experience and did EVERYTHING possible to make this night one to remember in a good way for him. That means absolutely so much to me! Our server- Kaiya was fantastic. It was her first night on the floor (she shared willingly) but she conducted her self like an expert server of many years. Perry’s may be expensive but it’s worth every dollar. And you will have a regular out of me, my family, and friends. I will even drag my colleagues to Perry’s! Thank you so much!!!”
“Service was great and since I was celebrating a birthday, they surprised me with crème brûlée cheesecake. Food -salmon spinach salad for me and pork chop for husband was outstanding! Waitress (Kensley) was cheerful and full of suggestions and smiles!”

“It was a wonderful experience today as it was the opening day. The customer service was exceptional. I went inside to place my order and check out the interior. After receiving my food and taking a seat to check my food, a cashier approached me with a smile and offered me a complimentary milkshake that they had accidentally made. It was very kind of her to offer it to me. However, I must mention that the chicken tenders were quite small and not worth the price, and they lacked significant flavor.”
“I purchased Korean fried chicken with a side of pickled radishes on 7/8/24 Suemi waited on me. The chicken was absolutely delicious but the pickled radishes were rancid. I attempted to call the restaurant to notify them but no one answered. .”
“Food was good, except the brussel sprouts, unfortunately they had no real flavor. It took some time for a server to come take our order, I'll give a bit of a pass on that because we did sit in a section that was closed off and on the other side, we were the first ones over there. It took a while for our food to come out after ordering. And I don't like how gratuity was added for just two people and nowhere on the menu did it say gratuity would be included. Which is why the service /server wasn't all that attentive. I think that it's worth trying out, because that just could've been a bad day and time. And as I stated, the food was pretty good. Some items seem to be overpriced to me, but I'll go back and order the items that are worth the price.”
“Tabbi is the epitome of grace under pressure! She is very attentive to her customers and handled an unruly customer with calmness and grace! A terrific host, bartender and server!! HOOAH!! To Tabbi!!”
