“Best Bologna Burger in Richmond!

If you're in Richmond, VA, and craving some seriously delicious comfort food, look no further than Parks Combo 2. I’ve tried a lot of spots in the city, but nothing comes close to the magic they serve up here, especially when it comes to their Bologna Burger and Pork Steak Combo.

The Bologna Burger at Parks Combo 2 is hands down the best in Richmond. They’ve perfected the art of balancing flavors and textures, giving you that perfect bite every single time. The bologna is cooked to perfection, with a crispy edge and a juicy center that melts in your mouth. Pair that with their fresh toppings and soft bun, and you’ve got a burger that’s both nostalgic and utterly satisfying.

But that’s not all – their Pork Steak Combo is a must-have as well. The pork steak is tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. It’s got that perfect char on the outside while remaining juicy and succulent on the inside. Every bite is packed with rich, savory goodness that keeps you coming back for more. And when you pair it with their classic sides, it’s a meal that hits the spot every time.

Parks Combo 2 isn’t just another spot in Richmond – it’s a local gem. Whether you're a longtime resident or just passing through, make sure to stop by and try these dishes. Trust me, once you’ve had the Bologna Burger and Pork Steak Combo, you’ll be hooked!“

“Decided to treat myself to a Mom break, had a book, a great drink, and a delicious, FRESH and all home made meal. Music was great and the whole atmosphere was just perfect and relaxing. I had the most amazing oysters, and all of the food was AMAZING! Chicken Caesar Salad 🥗 was incredible! Kudos to the Chef(s) and staff!! 🤩🤩🤩 Jamela was my server, and she was not only ridiculously kind and welcoming, but completely knowledgeable about the entire menu, about all the locations, what to recommend and all of the different delicious sauces! She is an absolute gem 💎 . Thank you so much for seeing a tired Mom, and providing a level of GENUINE Service and kindness that I haven’t seen in quite a while. Bless you all! Thank you Croaker Spot! -Karma“

“The food was delish!! The drinks were good. We had a blue berry lemon and Richmond Rita for drinks. As far as food, we had crab dip, tipsy fries, salmon and Alfredo pasta, and catfish shrimp basket.
The bartender was great! Everyone their was nice! It will be on my go-to list!!“

“Customer service,from Tyler, was top notch and the food was cooked to order, so it was scrumptious! The catfish was not highly breaded and the lemon pepper fries were different, but delish. I'll definitely return on a regular basis.“

“Every time I've been to Crafty weather it's dining in or carry out the food is fantastic. Also when dining in the servers are wonderful“

“We had an early Christmas Eve dinner at The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing. It was one of the best meals that we have had in Richmond. The atmosphere was delightful, enhanced by the duo playing holiday music; the food was excellent (as usual) but what made this a truly wonderful dining experience was the service. Our server, Trinity, was upbeat, efficient, and most of all really seemed to care if we were having a good meal. Without being intrusive, she checked on us several times to be sure we were doing ok. She is absolutely outstanding!“

“This place is so unassuming but so great! The staff we spoke to were lovely, so welcoming, and gave great recommendations. Such amazing flavours and everything tastes so fresh. The tofu lemongrass noodle bowl is delicious. The lemongrass pork banh mi is also fantastic. We had the peach tea and strawberry lemonade and took the advice to add bobas and lychee jelly.
Good portions - enough to be full but not so much that it feels wasted. Good prices too. We will be coming back to try more things!“

“One of my fave places in RVA“

“Good prices, great seafood and sides! If you just want something for yourself or for the whole family. Not a lot of room inside the business, but fair for takeout. The owner is the nicest man, greets everyone that walks through the door. This business is for takeout only, order before you leave the house and pickup once there or you can wait for it, stays pretty busy, especially on the weekends.“

“Best crabs and service in town and always cooked fresh!!“

“I was in Richmond for a few hours, so I decided to try Sugar's Crab Shack. I really didn't have high expectations due to some of the reviews. I am glad that I stopped by because I really enjoyed the food. I had the whiting salad, fried shrimp, and I tried the deviled crab cake. I really enjoyed everything and will be back. The employees were also very friendly and helpful.“

“Th place is immaculate. The Hawaiian fried with shrimp was wonderful. Tasty, fresh, timely service. A hidden gem!“

“I have eaten here at least ten times, and every single meal has been fantastic. The bartender has the biggest smile :) I plan to keep coming back. Good job Crafty Crab for putting such a good team together!!“

“Their crabs and Shrimp light seasoning is tooo good“

“We actually went to the Juicy Crab and after 20 minutes we never got our drinks we had ordered and thought it would be best to try this place, Crab Du Jour. It was fantastic!! All the food was fresh and delicious. The service was great also! Every team member we spoke to were nothing but polite and professional but also had a great sense of humor. We will absolutely be back and I cannot wait!!“

“lokeman’s Best wings are the best! I have nothing bad to say about this spot! Every time I come there, they are clean, polite and i never have anything wrong with my order. The wait time is never bad , and. the two guys who are typically up front are really cool and helpful.With 30 different flavors, you can’t go wrong ( in my opinion, go for the 24 karat wings. They are 🔥 )“

“A solid 4 out of five. The wings are good the mango habanero sauce is great. However the wings are a little dry I guess overcooked. The rice bowls are very tasty chicken and lamb are a favorite. Decent pricing across the board and I will definitely return.

Parking: Nearest strip mall lots of places to park“

“We tried Burtons tonight for my wife's birthday, and couldn't have been happier with out choice! The restaurant had a lively atmosphere - but felt really cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. From the calamari to steak and the lobster role, everything we had was delicious. A huge shout-out to our waiter, Robert, and Tristan, who made our dining experience fantastic!“

“ultimadamente como que están dejando la comida muy salada especialmente la bandeja mixta. digale al cocinero que use menos sal. y menos sal alas snow crabs“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that left us satisfied. We enjoyed our appetizer the roasted oysters! We decided to order the 14 ounce Dry Aged ribeye with perfectly cooked red potatoes for our main course. The entree was accompanied by a caramelized onion steak sauce. The ambiance was lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“Delicious. Fresh. Plentiful. Enjoyable. It’s clocking.“

“Came in before a show at the Camel. Service was wonderful. Amongst myself and company we tried the oysters, fish chowder, chicken wings, trout de florentine (sp?), and three of the cocktails which I forget the names of but they were delicious. Lovely experience and bartenders were especially hospitable (we sat at the bar).

Def plan to return. Oysters were great. Very few places in town have actual choices in selection.

Parking: Not sure about designated parking. Found some street parking within a block or so.“

“We had a reservation last night for 6.
Inwas greeted by will whonwas fantastic. He knew the menu and drink menu like rge vack of his hand. He had wonderful suggestions and a great personality. He checked on all the tables he had often and with a smile. The FOOOOD was amazing. We had pani puri, samosas, the dip trio which he suggested and we all loved! We also got chicken biriyani and butter chicken with lots of naan and the sauces. Every single person was stuffed when ee lrft and we had so much left over we had round 2 at 10 o clock 🤣. I cannot reccomend this restaurant enough and we will be back!“

“We left our brother's after a cookout, and our son was hungry??‍♀️. McDonald's is not an option, and instead of Royal Farms or stopping in the city, we decided to stop here, and get crab legs. It was $20, and they seasoned and steamed them for us. We took them home, melted our own butter, and my son and I ate our fill! They were delicious! Thankfully, Dad just cracks them, and doesn't eat them. Thankful that we visited, and will keep it as an option in the future.“

“Delicious food! We usually order to go now that I don’t work near there but the food is always delicious!“

“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“

“My daughter and I stopped here for lunch, and it was amazing! We finally found some delicious dim sum with great portion sizes and excellent customer service. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back for more. There's a lot of variety, and I especially love that they offer roasted pork, duck, and chicken!“

“I live Yoshi Sushi! They have always given me great service and very tasty food. I worked with sushi restaurants for about 10 years and I can say that the quality is great for the price. I always get the Tropical roll, it’s like dessert. The sushi rice is delicious, cooked just right. Nothing worse than sushi with overcooked rice. The foods that come from the kitchen are also great. Shrimp and veggie tempura, hibachi, and yaki soba are among my favorites.“

“I was passing through one snowy night and it was the only place open around. Thankfully they were still open so I was able to eat a good hot meal. The service was fantastic and my food came out really quick.
I ordered the la crema chicken and it was delicious. I usually get ACP but I wanted to switch it up a bit. I wasn’t a big fan of the mixed veggies they lacked seasoning. I also got the tacos with chicken/steak and grilled onions and it was on point.“

“Amazing grouper and crab with literally the freshest salad I’ve had nearly ever! Broccoli was perfect! Elk sliders we so ridiculously good! First time and absolutely will return. Jessica thank you for your hospitality and kindness as well as recommendations. Fast service and everyone was kind from the sweet hostess Jordan to Jessica! Great team and great food and great service! We will be back!“

“everything was amazing a must visit if in Virginia“

“Miyabi has been my go-to sushi spot for almost ten years, and I have never had a bad experience. I’ve dined in, had delivery, and taken out.

The fish is always fresh. I legitimately crave half the menu every week. And the people are so personable and lovely. It’s a low-key environment with staff that care about the quality of their food and the comfort of guests.

I could not recommend you try this Main St. treasure more strongly! Just try a delivery order, and you’ll be happy.“

“I visit Skrimp Shack at least once a month. That’s my I get to eat what I want place. I love the food. The cashiers are friendly and patient because sometimes I don’t know what I want to order. I don’t eat in because I’m usually on the run. The only downside is the floor in the dining area is sticky from all that delicious sweet tea.“

“The food and service was phenomenal!! Crystal J was an awesome hostess!! Smothered pork chops, cabbage and candied yams.“
