12 Best Southern Restaurants near Henrico

“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.“

“Ordered the deep dish pizza yesterday. I’m from Chicago so I was expecting to be disappointed somewhat. Was I ever wrong! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you a million times over for bringing a bit of my hometown to RVA! Can’t wait for a nice thin crust or maybe a beef - wet. If you’re from Chi you know what that is… Again, thank you.👍🏻🤗“

“Menu choice was consistent as in past visits, however this visit was a bit disappointing overall. Slipping and falling while turning the corner to the restrooms was not how I expected to end the visit. While attempting to get up, noticed entirely too much water left on the floor (same as in restroom), and NO "wet floor" signage placed. I alerted a staff member of what happened and that signage needs to be up. Staff needs to ensure to NOT leave excessive water when mopping and throw up signs.“

“This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. We were just driving through Richmond and decided to stop here for a bite. My husband had the brisket sandwich which he said was fantastic. I had the trainwrek that was so large and outstanding I couldn’t finish it and have leftovers. The food is fresh and has exquisite flavor! If I’m ever in Richmond again I will be returning.“

“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“

“Absolutely wonderful customer service, I have honestly never had a better dining experience. The food is delicious and everything is very clean, even the bathrooms and as a momma I definitely appreciate how clean they keep everything especially the changing table!! Loved it and will definitely be coming back!!“

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

“One of the top three meals I've ever had. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we always try someplace new. This has been on the list for two years but it's hard to get a reservation. I wasn't too keen on the special drink menu (I don't do gin or bourbon) but they all looked interesting. We got the stuffed quail and coq au Morocco. Deeelicious!! Plan ahead and go! Very worth the experience.“

“My friends and I had a fantastic time indulging in multiple rounds of Lemon Drop Martinis, along with delicious appetizers like cornbread and wings, followed by a delightful dinner. Our server was exceptional, making the evening even more special as we celebrated my friend's birthday. To our surprise, they treated my friend to a complimentary glass of Prosecco adorned with a birthday candle. We couldn't resist sharing our entrees, which included smoked brisket meatballs, pan-roasted shrimp, and fried catfish, all of which were incredibly tasty. The portions were generous enough for sharing, and the fried catfish was simply the best we've ever tasted, prompting us to order some to take home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a cozy evening with friends or family!“

“We had a great dinner! The staff was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious! Our waiter Joseph went out of his way to make sure the evening was perfect! Thanks again! We will be back soon!“
