9 Best Southern Restaurants near Glen Allen

“I really enjoyed my self there first time being there.i will go there again.“

“We stopped here based on a friends recommendation and he was spot on. Staff were friendly and attentive! The atmosphere is really cool with hanging sound dampeners with plants as well. The Bar is huge with a great selection. We ordered the pork rind nachos.. oh Yum. They came out crackling and popping with pulled pork and spicy jalapeños and cheese sauce. My Dinner was their Crab cakes - deliciousness light and fluffy and oh the Brussel sprouts with the pork belly were Great! The wife had a short rib appetizer for her dinner and it was fall apart yummy. Her Mac and cheese was great too - it was the heaviest Mac n cheese I have ever had. The our son got the Shrimp and Grits. He said they were great and the grits were really cheesy too. Thank you for a great dining experience! We shall return when we are down this way again.“

“The restaurant was very open and spacious with a full bar. I thought it might be very noisy because of the incredibly tall ceilings, but it wasn't. Service was prompt and efficient, our order of chicken sandwich and beet salad arrived promptly. Both were good quality and quantity roughly $15 each. Great beer, wine and cocktail selection. Wasn't impressed with the rib egg roll, they were popular though. Street parking could be a challenge during peak dining hours.

Wheelchair accessibility: Good“

“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.“

“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. Waitress wrote collardgreens on my order but someone didn't read and gave me cabbage. Also gave me a teaspoon of potato salad .I came from Chesterfield to be disappointed. A 40.00 meal 0“

“We had the best time last night. Girls trip from out of town & we stumbled upon the restaurant by accident. Staff, food & drinks were fabulous & we highly recommend! “Pinkies up”“

“I have wanted to partake in dining at this restaurant and the food looked delish. My experience met my expectations after I had pork belly, blackened catfish and mashed potatoes. I wanted to order the collards but not with tomatoes. I have eaten collards all over the South and have not seen tomatoes..Yikes!!!

The pork belly was tasty but smothered in BBQ sauce which the manager noticed so wasn't happy. My server, Hannah was friendly and helpful with her input.

My biggest negative was the 20% gratuity automatically added to the bill. There's another breakfast gem in RVA which also does the 20% so not a big fan. If the service is good, it's not an issue but when it is subpar, it's not fair to the customer imo.

I am on the fence about a return visit when I will probably return in February.“

“Loved the duck and the fried green tomatoes. Great service, too!“

“Service was great. Loved the "porch" area. I was disappointed that the breakfast potatoes weren't gluten free. They are listed as such on the menu, but they are fried in a shared fryer, so they are not gluten free. I ordered the grits instead, which tasted really weird. I couldn't pinpoint the spice they used. Just stick with salt and butter.“
