50 Best American Restaurants near Highland Springs

“My family went to this diner for the first time today for breakfast. It's only about 8 minutes away from the airport. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it has a warm and inviting atmosphere inside. The staff was friendly and our server took great care of us.
The prices were amazing for the portions you get.
The food was decent but standard diner fare.
The menu had a lot to offer and had many choices for breakfast and lunch.
But we were impressed with the portions we received for the price. We wished this diner was closer to where we live!
Thanks for a fun experience!“

“I ordered the hamburger with fries. It was a dollar or two less than the restaurant next door. I am so glad I did because the burger was fantastic! Very fresh and a great tasting. The service was great too. Yes, it cost a little more at other locations but hey, we are at an airport! I don't expect to see prices like we would see in the community.“

“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!“

“**A Dazzling Dining Experience—Richmond at Its Finest** I brought out-of-town colleagues to L'Opossum for dinner, and the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were treated to warm, attentive service and an atmosphere that felt both playful and refined. The attention to detail in every dish was truly impressive—each plate was a visual work of art, and the flavors were layered in a way that only a truly inspired kitchen can achieve. Every bite was a conversation starter. Bold, unexpected combinations came together in perfect harmony, creating a meal that was not only memorable but downright thrilling. My colleagues were absolutely blown away, and I was proud to share one of Richmond's most creative culinary gems with them. Five stars all the way—L'Opossum is a must for anyone who loves food that surprises and delights.“

“Dear Emilia and Chef Joe, (a letter of thanks for a recent evening event for 62 ladies of The Fan Woman's Club) You and your staff have earned our highest admiration and gratitude in making The Tasting Supper an overwhelming success. This was truly a night sans pareil for all members of the Fan Women’s Club. You curated a seasonal menu elevated by quality farm-to-table ingredients with a combination of extraordinary flavors; crafted a French 75 that could rival the original; your staff provided impeccable and seamless service; and your restaurant gave us an intimate and jovial venue in which to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have no doubt you’ll be seeing members of the Fan Women’s Club as regular diners in the months and years to come.“

“Today was my first time eating at the Village Cafe, and it was a stunning experience. The Rockfish and Chips were delicious, and I had no complaints about my meal. I also tried the iced tea, which was really good. The seating on the deck had a stunning view, and the waiters were very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Village Cafe today, and I will definitely be back.“

“Great food! Nice and clean dining area! Small but decent restaurant that sells brunch all day! Friendly staff with great customer service!“

“The restaurant is beautiful. The bathrooms were extremely clean. While the prices seem high, the taste and quality of the food matched it. Service was impeccable. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly. We cannot wait to come back.“

“Large group tonight for 50th birthday, the staff, service, and food and bev were amazing! Thank you!“

“We don't eat out often, but Riverbound is the local place we frequent the most. Always enjoy their food, they have great service - even when super busy, the waitstaff tend to keep us aware of where we "stand in the queue." Menu offers a lot, they also have weekly specials. Burger night is great for picking up and sharing. Favorite Sunday brunch place in the area - I ALWAYS get the French toast. Great neighborhood spot that will please most.“

“phenominal service, wonderful people, great food, and the best fried pickles I've ever eaten!“

“Had lunch there yesterday. The service was excellent and the food was great! I will go back!“

“Tasty food. Big portions. Fast delivery.“

“Cute little spot in Ashland. Eclectic, with antiques and tchotchkes all over the place. We had the chicken salad and the ham sandwich. All very good, and potato salad, enjoyable. There's outside seating and parking in the back. It's all kind of close though, so it might not be accessible to all. The restrooms definitely are not.“

“Amazing staff, even better food!! Vegan and dairy free options!! Will definitely be back!!“

“Clean, variety, staff, pricing, perks, store everything was great!!!“

“Love this place Are they open again?“

“Had a great lunch today and service from Joshua! Will definitely be back.“

“Best vegan options I'm addicted!!😋“

“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’ve enjoyed Sally Bell’s chicken salad box lunches since the 1980s. Their potato salad has been a staple for family holiday dinners for generations. Unbelievably fresh, delicious food!“

“The breakfast was delicious and the owners and staff so friendly and welcoming.“

“Amazing restaurant, probably my favorite local one now. They were super nice about not having a lot of the options but what they did have was delicious and so fresh. Hands down the best fries I've ever had and the whole vibe of the restaurant was super homey and jokey. I felt like I was with family despite not talking much and being an awkward 20-something

Seriously great experience, and I will definitely be coming again as soon as I possibly can“

“Dope restaurant and people. Not a big fan of tarter sauce but theirs is very good.“

“Our breakfast was amazing… great food and friendly service. We’ll be going back!“

“The vibe is always right! The Vagabond offers nice ambiance, full service bars, and a place to enjoy some of the city's top urban Dj's. Go here on a Friday night, get some drinks, good food, and enter to Rabbit Hole for music that's gonna make you dance, bop your head, however you vibe.“

“Food was outstanding, from the Cobia special to the rhubarb hand pie. Excellent food would highly recommend“

“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“

“Great local spot with lots of Fan area history.“

“This was my first time staying at this hotel, and despite its proximity to the airport, is very quiet inside and out. The room I had was impeccably clean, comfortable, with everything in sound working order. The room furnishings were great, and I really liked the bedside connectively, including conventional power outlets and USB ports on both sides of the bed. I did place an order at the Bistro, the in-house restaurant. And the food I ordered was excellent. The location is nice enough, and within walking distances to several restaurants. However, the only parking lot entrances are the two street sides ones off of Williamsburg Road, and there isn't one that is off the road that leads to a couple other hotels. It would be nice if there was. It's just a minor quibble though. As for the hotel staff, they were courteous and helpful. Overall, I was impressed with the hotel, and can see myself staying here again in the future.“

“Fried clam basket were Great, fries were well seasoned“

“Just had a fantastic New Year's Eve dinner, complete with champagne. Primo service as always.“

“This place checked almost all my boxes for brunch spots;a variety of Benny's, specialty cocktails especially ones with flowers, moonshine, and sparkling, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy; stuffed French toast, and avocado toast. Ambiance was great; the building is an old school movie theatre. Both the food and service we're amazing; Jessica was handling her business!“

“This was the best breakfast sandwich I've had in Richmond. Quality ingredients and all made fresh, a classic fry sandwich on a delicious roll. A ton of the places around here use microwave eggs or other shortcuts - not here. I also ordered an Arnold Palmer and watched the very kind woman at the counter squeeze the lemons fresh right there. So excited to have this option in downtown now!“
