“Went to Hooked for the first time for my birthday. My husband and I went in a literal hour before they closed and we didn't feel rushed. Destiny was our waitress and so sweet and attentive. The drinks were strong, the food was awesome and fairly priced and I didn't feel rushed as I sat there and ate my 360 tower. We will definitely be back!“

“This Mom & Pop spot opened recently in Prince George, VA. Close to Ft. Lee, it's a great option to all of the fast food places. Meaty ribs, great pulled pork and they don't hold back putting the meat on the sandwiches! I have not had anything that I wouldn't order again. You DEFINITELY need to check them out!“

“I did a catering order for Christmas Eve. Lasagna and Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, salad with homemade Italian dressing and Garlic Knots. It was the most delicious Italian meal any of us had ever had!!! There was 7 family members for dinner. THANK YOU LIDIA'S!!!! You made our night!!!! Most sincerely, Diane Weiser, Richmond, VA“

“Great service and suggestions from Amanda. The Cocoa Mole Sauce Over Brisket Enchiladas was Decadently Yummy“

“Have eaten here many times and I'm always very happy with the food, the service and the price! The biggest problem is deciding which of the wonderful dishes to order! On my last trip I had one of their specials: Tilapia Piccata and it was absolutely wonderful - nice and lemony! One bad thing: I've never tried any of their desserts - I'm always too full.“

“One of my fave places in RVA“

“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“

“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!“

“Cee Cee and Trinity were wonderful!“

“this place rocks!!!! The wings, oysters, and shrimp were cooked to perfection. It's definitely on my list for a return visit. Well done guys, your patience waiting for us to make up your mind“

“Ordered 4 dozen large jimmies! Q delivered heavy, amazing crabs. Great place and great service! Thank you Q“

“Price is great, crabs are delicious, cooked hot to order. And the customer service is outstanding!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 🔥 )“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Nice place. Good ambience and hygienic. The food was good. The dal and paneer was good the papdi chat was a disappointment. Also the hara bhara kabab turned out to be aloo tikki. Overall I would say the place is good but the food is average.“

“Best Mexican food. Good service and friendly staff. Everything there is so good.“

“We were on our way home to NJ from NC. It was me, my husband, our 2 children and dog. We stopped at Bass Pro Shops to break up our long drive. We noticed the restaurant inside and thought "perfect, we could eat!".

Since we had our dog with us, we had to sit outside (no problem- we prefer that!). The hostess had us walking all around because she couldn't figure out how to get to the outside patio with our dog?.

Once I figured out how to get to the outside patio, our waiter, Spicoli, came over. He was great; friendly, attentive, kind, respectful. ??

Our food was good- I had a salad with chicken, my husband a crab cake sandwich, my daughter chicken & cheese quesadilla and my son the sliders.“

“It was as always, great atmosphere, great service and great food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Stopped in after disappointing try at a different mexican restaurant (not Mexican). Horrible tasting house margarita and stale chips later we left and came here. Potato enchiladas and Street tacos and drinks were a hit! Service was great as well. Highly recommend as someone visiting the area!“

“My girlfriend and I had drinks here. I ordered the fried tilapia. Will definitely return. Especially for the drinks.“

“What an unexpected culinary treat. We wanted to try out Mantu after reading a favorable article about it in the RTD a few months ago. We belong to a gourmet group and I can't wait to bring them back with me to this delightful restaurant. Our dumpling appetizer of an encrusted whole egg was subtle, different, and enjoyable. Our main course kebabs were nothing like meat and veggies on a skewer, there were no skewers in sight just wonderfully grilled, tender, and amazingly flavored lamb and vegetables. Our desserts of custard with fruit and a very imaginative take on baklava were a perfect close to the meal. In the end, it was the remarkable and very different use of unusual spice combinations, together with a friendly and engaged staff and chef that will guarantee our early return. P.S. the Afghan cuisine, if you have never experienced it, is quite different from the cuisine of India and Nepal.“

“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.“

“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“

“This place was great for my day trip to Richmond. The food wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was good, and the menu was inclusive of many dietary restrictions. Our server was kind and the atmosphere was fun and casual. Parking can be difficult.“
