“Joe’s Out is connected to Joe’s In. Due to my schedule and my time in Richmond to see my son and his family, I’m always heading to Joe’s Out to grab amazing food and of course their fabulous Ice Cream! 9 out of 10 times I’m greeted by Austin, the young man that always smiles and provides you with great conversation and service. I can honestly say that I have never had better food and service from an establishment that caters to those of us that want to get hot tasty take out than Joe’s Out!
P.S. Their new Hot Chocolate ice cream is delicious 🤤“

“We rented a Yurt and Sherif was an amazing and down to earth server! He checked on us and vibed. The company was accommodating and helpful. Absolutely loved my experience and will 10/10 recommend!“

“Food was tasty. Was a bit overpriced for the serving size. I expected gnudi when I ordered gnudi but instead I received regular pasta with a lot of pesto. That was disappointing. Maybe trying a bit too hard. The rabbit was good. It was prepared like an Asian dumpling soup, not spectacular. A bit unexpected but an enjoyable meal. Probably not returning as I did not get what was ordered and it was expensive for what was served.“

“Just left from their. Got the greek meatball appetizer (big enough for a meal) and a small greek salad and a bloody mary. ALL of it was terrific. My MIL got a crab sandwich and it was really good as well. The onion rings were the best I ever had.“

“I do want to give a shout out to the manager Erin she was excellent very customer friendly and our lunch was excellent“

“We visited for the first time yesterday. Our waitress was pleasant company and attentive. The person who sat us was a doll. We ordered a few different things to get a feel for the food. The margherita pizza was fantastic. The penne vodka was probably the best vodka sauce I’ve ever had, and that is not an exaggeration. My husband really enjoyed his chicken parm. Happy to have found this new to us gem for when we are in the area. Thank you for bringing some of the NY Italian food charm to the Richmond area. We will for sure be back!“

“Great pizza will come back“

“I ordered the Sicilian pizza for take-out, so service and atmosphere are really not important. However, as part of service, when I called in the order, it was very cheerfully taken, and they called me when it was ready. I like Sicilian pizza very much, but it's usually rather dry. This was anything but. The cheese is great, but the sauce is fantastic. I'd say it's the BEST Sicilian pizza I've ever had. I'm from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania originally, home of pan-fried Sicilian (which is a different thing altogether). But for lovers of very traditional Sicilian, I'd highly recommend this!“

“First time at Edo’s last night. There was a couple walking up the stairs in front of us as we went in, and when we got to the door, a waitress said “I need that cup” and yanked it out of the woman’s hand as she walked off. She was the same waitress that sat us, but not who took our order. The waitress who took our order was extremely rude almost the entire time. A couple of times she brought food out and put it on our table AS she’s walking by. I stopped her once, to ask if we could have our bread warmed as it was cold. She barely stopped as she said “no.” And continued walking. The waitresses were rude and made me feel so uncomfortable with their terrible attitudes. Atmosphere is a little cramped but it was fine. The food was AMAZING though. It was really hot, and the pasta portions were GENEROUS.“

“We had another delicious meal with fine service and a leisurely time to talk and enjoy the atmosphere. From the glass of wine served with tasty bread and olive oil before our appetizer arrived through to the coffee after dinner, we could not have been happier.“

“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!“

“Lemoncello on point as well pasta!“

“Our server tab and the manager Gabriella went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing dining experience. Everything was so good and quick. 10/10 we’ll be back. The chocolate tart dessert was probably the best dessert I’ve had in richmond.“

“Bread and calamari were marvelous. I would know, I’m part Italian! 🇮🇹 On top of that they didn’t judge me for underdressing. Bravo! If only this place wasn’t only open in the evening.“

“My cycling club has made al fresco dining at Franco's a Thursday night fixture post ride. The food is always very good. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. They servers are always very welcoming.“

“This Italian spot is a must-visit! The service that Travis provided was exceptional, and the eggplant is truly excellent. Paired with their rich marinara sauce and remarkable selection of delicious wines, it's an absolutely perfect dining experience. May be a little noisy, but hey, very lively! Highly recommend!“

“Had the BEST birthday dinner EVER!!! Best food and service since I was in Italy!!! I highly recommend going if you haven’t been! Thank you so much to the staff and owners for making it so special!!!😘“

“Found Dinamo quite by accident. A Richmond-centric publication mentioned Dinamo as an aside in relation to another restaurant that had since closed. When we discovered Dinamo was still open (later evening) we decided to give it a whirl. The whirling airplane prop in the front window indicated that, at the very least, things would be not boring. We were coming in towards the end of service and were nonetheless greeted with warmth. Firstly, the bread got me baking again. No small feat. They were out of the T-Bone, which is what both of us were aiming for, and recommended the chicken. I dont like chicken. This chicken was amazing. Im still thinking about the bread and the beans. And the chicken. The Tiramisu was just, simply, decadent. Service, ambiance, food, hospitality…. Cant wait to return Dinamo. We added the“

“Great food and service but not much wine choices“

“Frank recommended the veal chop special on Friday night. We both got it. The sauce was so delicious with chunks of portobello mushrooms. AMAZING flavor!! I brought home half of mine to savor again. Can’t wait!“

“Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in RVA. Go tonight, what are you waiting for?!“

“Excellent food and Service!“

“Had a lovely dinner with my niece before she heads off to college. My food (la principessa chicken and shrimp) was delicious, as was the broccoli. And the serving was generous-- enough to take half home for another night. My niece always gets, and enjoys, the Alfredo. Having lived in Italy for many years, would I say this was authentic Italian? Mine was close. Hers, not so much. I would have to return to try other options. The service was ok, nothing to write home about. I would have liked if the hostess had spoken to me in Italian, as I spoke to her. Sigh. The atmosphere, meh. Dark. Nothing particularly Italian about it. Wish they had played music in Italian like Andrea Bocelli. I will go back.“

“Been eating here for almost 45 years. Maria & the staff are always happy to see you. Best pizza in the area. Subs are excellent as well. Love Sal's!“

“Oysters were great ! Our server was nice but was not very attentive. Loved the beans. The “bus boy?” Kept water glasses filled but his attire didn’t seem appropriate for the restaurant. All in all I would return“

“beyond the reasonable doubt the best picture in Richmond and the closest you will get to New York a taste of all of its own I highly recommend if you are a pizza lover give this a try you will go nowhere else after“

“mi pueblito pizzeria and restaurant??? more like TORTA DE CARNE ASADA RESTAURANT!! this place should be known for their torta’s, not pizza. look. my dad is from the caribbean. i’ve never heard of a torta in my life until i came to this place.

my girlfriend’s family have been coming here for years (she’s salvadoran) and she said the sopa de pollo tastes like home. everytime she eats here food she makes a “mmm” sound so it means she happy.

as you can see below we had a feast (wasn’t the first time) we got empanadas, queso de pupusas (wasn’t as good as her moms), horchata, torte de carne asada, and even sopa de pollo

the food was so good, the atmosphere is cool, the workers speak espanol, and the prices are reasonable. come here if you want a full belly

this made me like hispanic culture 10x more. im officially salvadoran. mi gustas el salvadorena comida.“

“What an amazing experience. This is a very unassuming place! We travel and try not to eat at chains.. Tony's didnt disappoint! Amazing service, and food all at a better than reasonable price.. go hungry!“

“Had such a great experience at Pino’s Pizza! Cassie was an amazing server she was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The pasta was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. You can tell the food is made with care, and Cassie’s great service made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend stopping by for the great food and great atmosphere!“

“Everything was delicious and service was wonderful! Can't wait to go back!“

“we had lunch today. we ask to dine outside. the patio was beautiful yet quiet. tha food was delicious and Plenty!! the hostess and server was delightful and skilled. She knew the menu and provided accurate information and great suggestions.I ordered a salad which they put figs and strawberries. the fresh figs were excellent!! I will definitely return!“

“The food was actually not bad at this location however the service was a little eh. We had a large party of people and they had two servers coming and going but it was like they could only remember one thing at a time. The girl that was our main server was really nice and would apologize however the gentleman server would act like it was your fault he had to run back and get something he forgot in the first place. All in all I would say a solid 4.5“

“I typically dine in around my lunch break, which is 30 minutes. I get the endless soup, salad, and water. My total is no more than 12 bucks after taxes. It's quick, cheap, and delicious. The environment around 11am-12:30p is chill, calm, and pretty much laid back and quite.“
