“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!”
“Visited for lunch with my son and daughter-in-law.A pleasant and enjoyable meal.Ordering and serving were all friendly.The amount of food was incredible. In the end, none of the four people emptied their plates cleanly.The taste wasn't bad eitherI didn't take a picture, but the hummus was delicious.”

“Super tasty fries. The Cheese burger was also legit with generous toppings. Wish it was cooked more pink, but it was still delicious! I’ll definitely make it a destination lunch spot when in that part of Richmond. Also liked the whole bright modern vibe of the restaurant and the staff were very engaging and friendly. I’m a fan!”
“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!”

“Deep Run Roadhouse was the BEST part of our wedding! No doubt about it. The food was delicious and the catering staff were friendly, efficient and professional. Still about their corn bread! ���”

“Locals have extolled Sub Rosa's breads, but because I live out of town the bakery is closed or sold out on most of my visits to RVA. Yesterday (Friday), I happened to be in town for my husband's heart procedure. He loves LOVES bread, especially by the loaf, and I decided I wanted him to wake up in the recovery room to a fresh loaf. So, I trekked over early and learned that they were sold out and it was explained that the loaves I saw were for wholesale. When I selected some other yummy looking items, I shared what I was up to. The cashier said "wow, that must be hard." Waterworks for me at this point. They went back to triple check and found a few spare loaves that were put out for sale. The raving about the bread (we had the original) is not overstated. Crunch, density, chew, taste. All perfection. Most importantly though, they were very kind to a person on a hard day.”
“The Grapevine is my favorite restaurant in the Richmond area. Their food is absolutely amazing and their staff goes out of their way to ensure a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend coming to the Grapevine to experience the fantastic atmosphere that the Trak family has created, and definitely enjoy their outstanding rolls!”
“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”
“Stella was delightful. Ask for the onion rings, they aren’t on the brunch menu. I got the brunch burger, my friend got the short rib hash/biscuits and gravy. No complaints. They were willing to customize so much for us due to eating restrictions. Great experience.”

“This is the perfect, quaint cocktail bar. I was able to explain what I like in a drink to the bartender and he made me a delicious cocktail catered to what I love. The meat and cheese plate was ad unique as it was yummy. And special thank you to this establishment for free tampons in the bathroom! It’s the little things.”
“5 star service in a beautiful industrial age building in Richmond! Dine here for any celebration or special occasion and I’d challenge you to find a flaw! The reservation process was seamless, if you have a special occasion like an anniversary or other they will print special menus for you or accommodate other reasonable requests such as flowers on table or others. The seared tuna appetizer was amazing, we ordered 1 salad and a cup of soup to split between 2 people, they kindly split it on seperate plate’s. The Turtle soup was good, honestly tasted like a very rich brown gravy. The stuffed salmon and cowboys ribeye were great(although pricey, but not unexpected). Finished up with a delicious Creame Brûlée, sugar coat was slightly burned and the strawberry was a little tired and not complimentary to the dish. In all, definitely a 5 star outing if you’re willing to spend around 100 per person!”
“Came here with a group of four on a Saturday night. Quick service and the server was very knowledgable of the ingredients and current offerings. The Ceasar needed at least twice as much sauce than what was given. Everyone enjoyed their mains and there's no complaints there. The menu on the night we went didn't have a vegetarian dish, obviously substitutions could be made, but vegetarian focused dishes are always a plus”
“Such a cute place, love the seats and pillows so comfortable! The mango juice is so refreshing but not overwhelmingly sweet, had the lightest hint of spice and it was so good. Got butter chicken pasta, was expecting it to be mediocre but was incredible, was executed incredibly, a perfect middle ground between pasta sauce and butter chicken. The Goat Korma was incredible. So savory and a hint of sweetness to balance it out. Tastes like home and childlike joy and wonder. Im allergic and I ate it with epipen in hand. Totally worth it. The waiter was so funny and silly, so friendly the service was just awesome.”
“Wow… this place really serves authentic German food! Spent four years with the Army in Heidelberg and grew to love German cuisine. Haven’t been able to find any good German food until I discovered Cafe Rustika. All of their schnitzels are delicious. Highly recommend this place for both the food and atmosphere.”
“We are regular patrons of the Midlothian Tazza but they are not open Sundays. It’s great to have the Tazza experience only a few more miles away!”
“A great dining experience overall. Great drinks, delicious food and wonderful service. I’m so glad our friends suggested trying this place.”
“I spent New Years Eve here and while the space was amazing, the planning and execution of the event was not. We paid extra for a VIP experience - the food was FANTASTIC! Probably the best thing of the night! The evening included a 90s dress contest, a 90s band and midnight champagne toast....Well, the contest winner was not even announced nor was added to their Instagram - there were 4 pictures posted out of everyone dressed up. Up in the VIP room, there was NO count down or anything - it was 2024 and we didn't even realize it - so much for our special midnight toast in the VIP Lounge! While I didn't know one song the band played, I was assured they were 90s songs. the advertisements should have said ONE STYLE of 90s music.. this event can be great....Just needs some work to it ... especially when people are paying extra!”
“We’ve eaten at many of the restaurants Richmond has to offer and this is among the best! The cocktail and wine lists were top tier and there wasn’t a single thing on the menu that I’m not looking forward to tasting. We had the fried oysters, baguette, risotto, and the crab cake and every bite was delicious! Can’t wait to return and try more! Highly recommend!”
“Stumbled upon this place on a work trip. It is a small restaurant with a really cool vibe. They update their menu daily based on the seasonal ingredients they have and their dishes are very flavor-conscious. They cook everything in front of you at the bar. The bartenders/chefs were very charming, and it was one of those places where everyone talks to eachother. Very refreshing in this day and age.”

The desserts are *fantastic* and I promise your non-vegan friends and family will love them as well.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan. EVERTHING IS VEGAN! You don't have to ask or scour ingredients because EVERTHING IS VEGAN. This. Is. A. Blessing.”

“Absolutely fantastic Vegan Food and super friendly staff! Great selection of vegan food, pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. Love it!!!”
“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 give them 10 stars the food is amazing you won’t be disappointed…”
“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.”
“I love coming here, they’re efficient and I love the option of Hot Pot and BBQ…it’s the best! The waiter/waitress explains everything so you’re comfortable in your food decisions.”
“This is the perfect, quaint cocktail bar. I was able to explain what I like in a drink to the bartender and he made me a delicious cocktail catered to what I love. The meat and cheese plate was ad unique as it was yummy. And special thank you to this establishment for free tampons in the bathroom! It’s the little things.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is one of my first or last stops when I come home to Virginia. I always purchase extra potato wedges to freeze and bring back to New York. There are no potato wedges like them. My mom and I came here because we couldn't think of anything to have for dinner that we wouldn't have in New York, but of course, Lee's fail-safe for dining choices. The food is always fresh.The staff is always friendly, and the service is always good. It might cost a little more than other places, but then again, it takes better than other places.Make sure you get a biscuit or two extra to take with you.”
“Whenever I’m in town. I visit here. Love their bagels and vegan options.”
“Our family loves Habit! ❤️Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad is so good and you get a great portion!Burgers taste flame ? grilled!If you're a ranch dressing lover, Habit has awesome ranch!Grilled Chicken Sandwich is delicious ?!”
“Wonderful caramel apple cider, and my daughters enjoyed the Gold Rush and the pumpkin. Back in the summer I had a can of the peach cider and I can't wait to get more, if they have it next summer.”
“Excellent flavor profiles, crisp, and clean. My favorite drink if I’m not having a beer, wine or cocktail. Even then their Blue Mule and Cider are delicious. Highly recommend.”
“I was there for a pottery pop up market, advertised as part of a pot-pub crawl in conjunction with the NCECA Pottery Convention in town- I of course had to pop in for a cocktail! I got the Blackberry Smash- which was delicious, even if I was freezing and wishing for a hot drink! lol. I also was intrigued with their specialty simple syrups- I sprung for a blackberry vanilla simple syrup to take home for cocktails! The bar was brightly lit, fun menu boards and quick service! Win win.”
“Drive Thru lines are usually really long and hard to navigate with some cars going into the road but they do move quick and you see why there is such a demand.. the subs are really good. Also get the fries, they make em perfectly everytime and are mcdonalds style.”
“Took the dog to the pump road dog park today. When leaving I decided to go to the Arby's there in short pump to grab lunch. Pulling up to the drive through I asked "do you guys still have the BLT" knowing it was a seasonal thing. The reply came "It's not on the menu anymore but we can sure still make you one. How many slices of bacon do you want on it ?" Long story short I got my BLT Thanks to them for a great job ......”
“Dear Ja'mere,I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional customer service you provided during my recent visit to Chick-Fil-A. On that day, I was going through a challenging personal time, and your empathy and kindness made a world of difference to me.As I approached the drive-through, my emotions got the better of me, and I found myself in tears. Despite my difficulty in expressing myself, you showed incredible patience and compassion. Your reassuring words and warm demeanor were a source of comfort during a trying moment in my life.You went above and beyond your role as a service provider, offering not just a meal but also genuine empathy and support. In a world where such kindness can sometimes be rare, your actions stood out and made a significant impact on my day.I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your exceptional service and for being a source of positivity when I needed it most. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I hope you continue to uplift others with your wonderful spirit.With heartfelt appreciation,A'LexusP.S. Keep spreading kindness—it truly makes a difference!”
“This might be one of the best experiences I’ve had at a Starbucks. Which isn’t saying the others were bad. This one was just better. There is a new manager with pins on his hat, sorry I can’t remember the name, who says he loves a store with a drive threw and it shows. Five people and I challenge another five person team work as efficiently as they did while still being a delight first thing in the morning. I don’t know your names but hopefully you know who you are. Keep up the amazing work. I’ll stop by Gaskins anytime I’m near Short pump and want a delicious Chai Latte.”
“Every once in a while you want to eat at a place with a wide variety of food at one stop. Golden Corral is about an hour away, but it's worth the drive. I love brown beans and corn bread. My wife loves pot roast. These are mouth watering at Golden Corral always. If you're in the mood for something else, most of it is at Golden Corral as well. We're senior adults and automatically get a discount off the posted meal price. They have a wide variety of desserts as well. They don't serve alcohol as far as I know. We don't drink. You can eat as much or as little as you wish for one fair price. They have waitresses to refill drinks, answer questions, or help in other ways, but you serve yourself, so you don't have to leave a big tip, but the service is good, so you may want to leave a good tip as well. I noticed they had added carry out meals to their menu this visit. Their yeast rolls are melt in your mouth. Everything was tasty. I wish I lived closer. Their large open dining area with a high roof was comfortable and not too noisy even though there was a fairly large crowd on our Saturday afternoon visit. I've very rarely had to stand in line going in. Eat there. I believe you'll love the home cooked tastes of the buffet. I noticed the tables were a fair distance apart and the public spaces were wide and fairly open, even at a busy time of day for the restaurant.Vegetarian options: Large variety.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options.Parking: Always have been able to find a spot right away.Kid-friendliness: When we had kids, it was a great place to visit because of the variety.Wheelchair accessibility: I don't remember if the doors opened by themselves, but there is a large open entrance and a rolling entrance to the sidewalk at the entry and handicap parking close up.”
“Next to masjid ❤️ The owner shows excellent love . When I'm short a few cents , the owner lets me go , I come here everyday living in the area , I always pay back ! Loyal customer love it ! & My numbers always hit at this location!Also love the food”

“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.”
“This bread is wonderful! I have a wheat/gluten allergy but I can eat this bread without pain. it taste so great! (Japanese Milk Rolls). We love Europa Crust!”
“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!”
“One of the best dining experiences we had in Richmond! Get the torte--your taste buds will thank you. Everything we tried was delicious. We really enjoyed talking to the owner, he is really friendly and helpful.”
“Warm welcoming inviting.......an eclectic mix of people.......great care and attention to detail when preparing food.......Banana Pudding was being made in house on the day that I visited.......local makers and businesses featured.....and something that I feel is very very important: the employees worked together to get things done in a timely and efficient manner! I'm glad this spot exists as it features and focuses on local owned, women owned, and minority owned, because these businesses have been the backbone of this nation from the very beginning. And it's these businesses that build community and help America recover from various challenges. Every. Single. One. Every. Single. Time. Blessings. Maria”
“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.”
“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 Philly Vegan for the first time today and OMG..absolutely delicious! My sister traveled here from Florida just to try it and she recommended it to me. I am not even vegan, and the cheesesteak I had today was better than some beef ones I’ve had. Worth every cent, and I will definitely be back!”
“1st visit.Totally a feel good place. Food was way yummy and service top notch. Wonderful! No issues. Thanks Johnathan??Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance and parking is ground level...no stairs”
“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!!”
“Excellent stop for our lunch. Brisket was incredible. Creamy max & cheese was delicious. Will definitely stop again!”
“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.”

“Spectacular authentic French food. Wait staff and management the best professionalism!”
“We came from Virginia Beach to have a foodie weekend. The food and beverages was nothing short of amazing. The chef wowed us with EVERY selection. Our server was on point. We will come back when we visit RVA again. ♥️”
“I'm familiar with the chef, and his food is impeccable. The new menu debuted tonight, and supporting this business was absolutely worth it. Great service and an excellent place for gatherings.”
“Reservation only. We walked in and got lucky because I think a party cancelled so we got a seat for 5. I ordered the turkey wings, fried cabbage, and mashed potatoes with gravy. I enjoyed the wings but I think one of my wings could have been cooked a little longer so it would have been more fall off the bone. The cabbage was ok. Not nasty, just not my taste and I enjoyed my mashed potatoes. My fiance ordered the catfish. He said he wished it was seasoned a little more but his yams were delicious! My mom had the baked wings and collard greens. That was delicious and my step dad's french fries were delicious. The main character was the cornbread.....OOOOOOMYGOD! THEY WERE DELICIOUS! Definitely the highlight of my meal!! I loved the ambiance and that it's black owned. I would come back and try something different for sure!”
“A great dining experience overall. Great drinks, delicious food and wonderful service. I’m so glad our friends suggested trying this place.”
“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.”
“Definitely a spot to check out! Everything from start to finish was delicious! Sarah made us amazing drinks and gave us great recommendations. This will be one of our new go to spots!”
“Great service. I love a restaurant that care about their guest, especially the ones with certain food allergies. Trio also have a nice atmosphere”
“It was a cloudy Sunday afternoon and my girl and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal. What a nice meal it was. It was a stellar experience overall, great vibes, great atmosphere, great decor. Now on to the food….we ordered tapas style. Croquet madame egg toast was delicious, great selections of meat including iberica and pancetta, topped with manchengo and a tasty savory red pepper chili Aioli sauce. Next up was my favorite dish in the world….SOFT SHELL CRAB. Absolutely delightful experience, topped with fresh ramps and sorel mushroom and a soft green herby sauce drizzle, just delightful. Finally was the lamb papas, a fresh rich flavored twist on the Spanish classic. Tender lamb covering nice crispy potatoes with a different aioli sauce and radish slices for a perky finish. Overall this meal was great, a solid 8/10 with no complaints. The pricing was appropriate for the food quality. The service was on point.”
“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!”
“My 80yo mother and I had dinner here while visiting from out of town in February and I was worried it might be too hipster for us, but it was fantastic! The service, the food, the ambiance are all 5-star!! We met the husband-wife owners (my mom has never met a stranger!) and we can't wait to visit again when they move to their new location (old mamma zu's space). A special night!”
“Accessible parking for Vasen was a challenge. I had to park on the street a block from the entrance. The ramp into the brewery was minimally compliant and very steep. Once I was in the building, everything was accessible. The bathrooms were open and clean. The bar and seating areas were completely accessible. There are no gluten fee options for having a drink, but the food trucks that visit may have GF options.”
“If you love an Irish pub, you will love Rosie’s. Helen and her father Tommy run a great bar. It’s what you want in a pub, good Guinness, plenty of comfort food and great staff. They have a cozy spot that is great for a wedding after party. Would recommend over and over. Go reds YNWA.”
“We’ve eaten at many of the restaurants Richmond has to offer and this is among the best! The cocktail and wine lists were top tier and there wasn’t a single thing on the menu that I’m not looking forward to tasting. We had the fried oysters, baguette, risotto, and the crab cake and every bite was delicious! Can’t wait to return and try more! Highly recommend!”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.”
“My first time to visit! I had no idea it was there! That may be the point. Loved it!”
“Had a great time listening to Hugs last night! Good fun great atmosphere! Good food great wait staff! Thanks Lilly Pad !”
“If you're looking for a historical experience and amazing food, definitely visit Lemaire! Pop by for some dope peanut soup, check out the alligators , and instagram yourself on the beautiful staircase. Quit messing around and get some south in your mouth right now!”
“Fantastic food!!! Varied menu and very fresh”

In fact, every visit seems to surpass the last, continuously exceeding my expectations with their consistently high standards and inventive concoctions. The way the staff remembers your preferences and suggests new drinks to try makes you feel like a valued friend, not just a customer. If you're looking for a spot that guarantees a wonderful time with every visit, Emeralds Lounge is the place to be. The joyful atmosphere and the exquisite food and drinks ensure that each evening spent here is a memorable one.”
“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.”
“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.”
“But for Google we might not have found the plain, unmarked door, but stepping inside is like entering an oasis. After a drink at the bar (we had a reservation but it was so beautiful, we asked to sit on the patio on arrival and they needed a moment to arrange it), we were shown out to the lovely patio area. Neatly walled off from the outside and with a roof to prevent the weather from ruining your meal, it's a pleasantly peaceful space - well lit even after sundown and spaciously arranged. The menu is reasonably brief but still difficult to choose from, and we finally settled on two antipasti and two 'pasta' dishes (the risotto lives in the same section) after we were advised they were perfectly entree sized.The burrata and beef tartare were delicious, especially the former with its blood orange, hazelnuts, and what I believe were slivers of fennel. I will confess a note of puzzlement, since neither appeared to come with its own bread (we ordered bread and olive oil separately) as if one were expected to eat it with a spoon- the potato listed as a tartare ingredient was definitely delicate crispy crumbs, not crisps as I expected. A second plate of bread was provided (and extra olive oil, though this was honestly wasted) without delay on request though.The mushroom risotto packs a heavy earthy punch. It's cooked well, and quite filling, perhaps heavier than might be expected. The Meyer lemon bucatini was a light, airy flavor, a touch sweet as opposed to savory, much like the citrus and burrata. I demolished it entirely, though I probably could have been satisfied with less than I did end up eating in total. Sensibly, I took the tiramisu home. It traveled well and was delicious once I had the space in my stomach to consume it.All in all a beautiful experience, the only thing ordered that wasn't consumed was a milk punch- Do not be fooled by the list of ingredients, it is extremely sweet, but the staff replaced it for me without protest, and my corpse reviver was immaculate. We would absolutely go back, though the price point is to be taken seriously, it is not a place to go on a budget.Vegetarian options: There are a number of things which are vegetarian (it's a small menu) and they are reasonably clearly marked. It is still probably wise to ask about things like the risotto, since you never know what broth is used.Dietary restrictions: There is a very short menu and no real room for substitutions here. Depending on what your dietary restrictions are, it may not be doable.”
“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.”
“Sabine was GREAT! she’s super friendly & personable. she was sure to check on us frequently and helped make my sister’s birthday dinner as enjoyable as possible! thank youuu:)”
“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”
“What an awesome venue. I took my son to see The Chats and had a great time. It was easy to get to and park. The staff cared about the young fans and made sure my son was taken care of. There was also plenty of room even though it was sold out. We stayed on the outside and he stood on a bench to see the while show. I wouldn't hesitate to bring him 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!”
“My husband and I visited The Jasper for the first time after hearing rave reviews, and it did not disappoint. Talented mixologists whipping up cocktails from a uniquely stellar menu. We will be back!”
“Great beer and live music plus food”
“Great place to grab good food and great margaritas, Grant and Sam were amazing!!”
“Lovely atmosphere. Everything was delicious, even a tea I didn't expect to like! The owner went above and beyond when we arrived late because we had walked from an incorrect address. She was sincerely apologetic and even arranged for a ride back to our car. A wonderful mother -daughters experience.”
“Food and service is always exceptional!”
“Best place ever. Good beer. Awesome food truck.”
“fabulous food, great flavors, excellent service, and a fun place to eat and relax. we all loved it.”
“Fantastic food!!! Varied menu and very fresh”
“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!”
“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!”
“My Aunt got the corn beef hash hsd a bite Best in the world! And the Virginia Benedict eggs were fabulous not to mention the curried potatoes. Highlt recommended”
“We love the new restaurant! Excellent food and friendly service.”
“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!!”
“First time. Very welcoming atmosphere. Hostesses & wait staff very attentive. Minimal wait time for drinks & food. Will be back.”
“The Answer Brew is always fun for a beer and quick meal. We have not been in ages, still great! Wednesday they have $5 Wake N Bacon!!!!!! Lots of tables and bar seating, 2 different outdoor seating areas They have a room of games too! Rice and noodle dishes, Banh Mi, smash burgers and an assortment of apps. BiG beer menu too! Always great service, fresh food, fun atmksphere though it is pretty loud! What I ate: Crispy spring rolls Wake N Bacon The Answer Luquillo Mojito My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value”
“Yummy food! The patatas bravas were delicious, albeit non traditional (drizzled with sriracha). But for a fun tapas date this place is perfect. I’ll come again!”
“An amazing dinner! The food is like nothing you see elsewhere. Absolutely amazing. The staff is attentive, friendly and works very hard to have a pleasant experience. I definitely will be back!”
“best food I've ever tasted! try the grits and brisket!”
“Nice place, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food, big portions, good size menu (variety), clean and organized.”
“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.”
“Service was amazing. Jarred was very informative and pleasant. Checked on us numerous times, making sure we were well taking care of”
“This evening's experience was disappointing. Two of us had seafood dinners that we were not happy with. We communicated our concerns with the waitress, but she didn't really react to it. It is a special occasion for us to go to such a pricey restaurant. Hence we hoped for a better quality meal.”
“Lulus was so fun. Great atmosphere, interesting “art”. The staff was excellent, and they were kind. We were a party of 5-college kids and parents. All tastes were impressed. We will be back! Make the reservation!!”
“Enoteca Sogno sets the bar for excellent Italian cuisine in Richmond. Tucked away in a nondescript building in Bellevue, this cozy, welcoming restaurant offers incredibly delightful Italian dishes and a robust wine list. I was DD but I heard great things about the Moscato wine. We ordered the robiola cheese to start, which came with their super lovely homemade bread. We needed a second helping of that. Even the olive oil was clearly high quality. For my meal, I opted for the crespelle pasta special, which was basically like a pasta crepe with spinach, bechamel, and cheese with marinara. It was so good and not sickeningly filling, which was an added plus. It let me save room for their lemon mascarpone cake for dessert! Service was prompt and friendly. I was glad we were able to score a table on a rainy Wednesday evening. For busier times, I'd definitely book a reservation.”
“It’s a great brewery, however, the menu isn’t as extensive as others and has little variety. I wish they experimented with more German and Belgian-style beers. The past year I’ve been coming I haven’t seen any besides the Octoberfest which was GREAT! :) IPA’s, lagers, & stouts are mass produced in this country and not everyone enjoys them. All in all, I do love Richbrau and will continue to return. It’s worth a visit.”
“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!”
“Amazing! The most delicious food you could possibly imagine!!!!”
“Really good food and selection from steaks that was excellent to fresh fish. We enjoyed it server alert and efficient service.”
“Really good selection of stouts. Comfortable atmosphere.”
“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.”
“Simple menu. Amazing food, very well prepared without costing a fortune. Best hushpuppies ever. Definitely try the Tipsy Crab fries. ? Great service too. Very friendly and on point. Would definitely go back.Also, love the old building vibe with original tin ceilings and even walls with painting of a blue crab.Parking: We went on a Wednesday night, so had no problems getting street in front of the restaurant. I was very glad of that bec hubby and I walk with a cane.Kid-friendliness: I probably wouldn't bring kids here? It's casual enough, but other than fries & wings, not sure if food options would suit kid's palate. But, you never know.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to use to get into the restaurant. It requires the opening of a gate to access (front of restaurant has a metal fence around it.) So, WC user may need some assistance. Didn't check the bathroom.”
“We were there Saturday night around 7:30, party of 20+, with stinky lacrosse teenage boys. The staff was very accommodating. Food and drinks were great, service fast for the amount of people we had. Great time !”
“Had a great family dinner at the HotSpot 757. It was a very diffirent and unique way to spend a special night. The restaurant offers two ways to cook your food. One is using a hot plate to boil soup that you add a variety of different meats, vegetables and dumplings. The type of soup I ordered was Chinese Szechuan. Although it tasted awesome it was really hot. I’ve been eating Szechuan for years and never experienced a hot version like this one. You can also cook raw meat to you choosing on the center piece table grill. I ordered the spicy pork and beef and both were delicious. There is also fresh fruit and different sauces located in the center of the restaurant for you to enjoy.”
“Had a birthday dinner for husband with family at Stony Point location… first time there…. atmosphere and servers wonderful… seafood was awesome… did not have room for dessert but we will definitely be back! Granddaughters ate from kids menu which was very good.”
“I waited all week to get a meal from Mama J ! I was very disappointed, my order was wrong no corn muffin ,got cabbage when I order collar greens.

“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.”
“Winston was an incredible host and made the wait in the airport very enjoyable! Thank you for the delicious beer recommendations (when the keg died, he brought another even more tastier beer)!!”
“I LOVEEEEE THEM. Im from RVA bt in Indiana currently & cant wait to get back to home. The must haves when i go is the cornbread & LEMONADE ! <3”
“I would like to say that my experience at Hawks BBQ At South Side plaza was amazing. I was greeted with the most beautiful smile by Mrs. Queen. The food was on point and the vibe was soothing with the great old school music that played. I ordered a pig feet dinner with potato salad and collared greens and everything was great,”
“We just tried your food we are from Ohio I was wonderful and worth the money we will be back before we go home”
“Love the blue cow. Today I had chocolate chip cookie dough. So disappointed, no cookie dough or chips. Just vanilla ice cream. I told the server and she said I wasn’t the only one to complain about this.”
“I live their flight tastings and they are great with recommendations and information make sure that you come in and give some flavors a try.”
“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.”

“Short Pump is the BEST! The most amazing staff. Shout out to David the General Manager, Megan, Ashley, Austin, and Ryan! They certainly made wine tasting a great experience!”
“Our first trip to Texas de Brazil. Took our grandson along with his mother and sister to celebrate his 18th birthday. It was an excellent decision. Salad and sides bar had a large selection. Lobster bisque, shrimp salad and mushrooms were the biggest hits, but everything we sampled was very good. Our granddaughter does not eat most meat, so she just ate from the buffet bar that included a preparation of cod that she really enjoyed. The rest of us enjoyed the large selection of meats. The flank steak, beef rib,and picanha were the favorites.”
“The drinks weren't that good but the food was delicious! We ordered salmon and steak it was all very good. I also ordered a dirty martini, but it had an orange after taste...I'm not sure what kind of vodka they used, but I didn't finish it. Service was a little slow but not terrible.”
“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!!!”
“Super tasty fries. The Cheese burger was also legit with generous toppings. Wish it was cooked more pink, but it was still delicious! I’ll definitely make it a destination lunch spot when in that part of Richmond. Also liked the whole bright modern vibe of the restaurant and the staff were very engaging and friendly. I’m a fan!”
“Our waiter, Blake, was on point from the moment we walked in. The food was top tier. All fresh ingredients, every bite bursting with flavor. Atmosphere was very welcoming. Would definitely visit again the next time we're in Richmond!”
“We had our 20 year alumni event for about 24 people with dinner, drinks, and dessert. Melissa was super responsive to questions and alterations for the event and the food and service were awesome when we attended. The 2 servers did an excellent job.”
“May 2024 back again and Tarrant's deserved another review.We love Tarrant's West and Dowtown. So we decided to have a small graduation lunch at Tarrant's West. Planning with Melissa was excellent. She was accommodating and communicative and made excellent recommendations. The food, atmosphere and service from Brandi and ? was great. All of our guest were pleased with their food. The Filet and the crabcakes were the stars of the show. May 2024Delicious food and excellent service!”
“It’s the best for all occasions. It’s Vegas meets RVA - big space - great style”
“Great burgers, best chicken wings and fresh salads! Loved it!”
“I have lunch at Mosaic at least once a week and the food is usually very good. On Friday night, we took our neighbors there for dinner and I was disappointed. My beef brisket was one of the worst I have had in years. The beef was tough and dry. My wife had the bliss bowl with chicken. It was overflowing the bowl which made it hard to eat and the hummus was fairly tasteless. We will try Mosaic for dinner again, but I believe the restaurant is under new ownership. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.”
“Food was good, as usual. Oysters and Pearls were creative. The halibut was well cooked. Service wasn't the best. Dessert menu left much to be desired. For a birthday celebration it would have been nice to have something from the bakery to stick a candle in.”
“Great burgers, the beer cheese and bacon smash burger I had Monday was phenomenal. I sat at the bar and the bar tender recommended ciders for me and loved them.. Good place to go, relax and enjoy a drink and food!”

“We live and work in the Brookland Park Neighborhood and love BPK's accessibility, friendly atmosphere, well balanced menu and service. Not only have we dining multiple times, recently I was in a pinch for a cocktail party and found relief. At the very last minute I was able to place a catering order for three signature dishes and they were all crowd favorites! If you live in the neighborhood do yourself a favor and check them out. It's the place to bring your out of town guests and impress them with our neighborhoods offerings!”
“This was some of the best Peruvian food I have had. Everything we had was fantastic. The ceviche mixto is excellent. The beef soup was a hit. The carne asada and chicken. The fried yuca and cilantro rice. Everything was yummy ? I highly recommend eating here if given the opportunity or just go. You definitely won't regret it.”
“Mind blown ?! This food was so delicious that we had to go back again the next day. It’s a brand new restaurant in the heart of Jackson Ward and its Caribbean food is elevated to the next level. This worth me driving back to Richmond to eat. Not featured in the photos is the peanut punch omg!”

“Me & my sister wanted to try a new place on Sunday night & after reading some great reviews we decided on The Hive. We were enthusiastically greeted by one of the owners, Marvin & took a seat at the bar. We chatted with him for most of the time , such a nice guy . We had just missed the sunday crowd & live music but the vibes were still good & the playlist they had on definitely had us jammin lol. We ordered some cocktails which were made by the other owner, Bee & they were delicious, perfectly balanced. We decided to split 2 entrees, the Peruvian chicken & per Marvins recommendation , the shrimp & grits. The chicken was big , juicy & full of flavor. The shrimp & grits were soooooooo freakin good im still talking about them 2 days later, i probably had 2 bites left and took it home with me so i could experience the flavor again as a late night snack lol . Definitely will be back again , thanks again guys !!!”
“Why look for cake or dessert when theres nothing BUNDT CAKES! Delightful desserts that will make your mouth water when you walk in the door. Lots of flavors to choose from, you can have them frosted or not! Our fam favorite is to get a box of Bundtinis! A glorious box full of goodness for everyone to share.Amazing and helpful staff! They are super welcoming and make you feel like you’re in their own home bakery.Do yourself a favor. Get your Bundt here asap.”

Run me another order lol”
“My friends and I opted to try this spot on a lazy Saturday night, and it did not disappoint! Service was pleasant, efficient, and accurate. Portions are plentiful and the price is more than fair. I personally ordered the general tsos— it was apparent the meal was made to order— the chicken was crispy, juicy, and sauced to perfection. The crab rangoons were also a hit amongst the group. I cant wait to come back!”
“I'm sure the place is good, but I wouldn't know. This review is more to caution anyone using GrubHub to order. GrubHub will charge you and refuse to refund you even when the truck isn't at the normal location or not operating that day. I had to do a credit charge back. You'll probably be fine doing delivery as the driver will report the problem, but it's your call to take that chance with GrubHub's bottom tier customer service.”

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!!!”
“Big part of me wants to gripe about paying double digits for three chicken fingers some crinkle cut fries I could make at home and a slice of toast and a soda.But then I look around at all the other places in the area and I realize it’s become normal.The food was hot and fresh, the seasoning on the chicken finger breading was very good in the Texas toast slice was surprisingly pleasant. And of course they’re specialty in-house dipping sauce was up to its normal fireworks.This location had decent numbers of staff and were attempting to pull off a Chick-Fil-A style service model in the drive through but you could tell they were really not used to it.The atmosphere was clean and normal.Vegetarian options: Just Fries or just bread.Dietary restrictions: It’s chicken and potatoes and bread fast food. Fairly simple stuff. They can leave something off the list but If you’re allergic to something look elsewhere.Parking: It was midday on a weekend so the place was packed and it took a moment to find a spotKid-friendliness: No play place but there are chicken fingers so…Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all up to ADA standards as are most places these days”
“This place is where to be of you have time at the Richmond Airport. I got stuck here for hours and Tabbi took amazing care of me... she even tolerated my horrible sense of humor! I will stop here everytime!”
