“Popped out for a quick ride and realize this place was finally open. That quick trip turned out to be an experience. As you walk in you're greeted with lots of colors so they're aesthetics are cool but as you focus you realize most of the stuff is handcrafted. The chairs look like they were made from old whiskey barrels with what you can tell is obviously hand-painted scenes. Then there's the food the food was magnificent and inexpensive I ordered the fajitas Texans which came out to my table sizzling. I can go on about this place The one thing that I will strongly say is you'll see me back here again and soon“
“A little bit of backstory: I just moved in from another state, and I needed to create a list of go to restaurants and businesses I can always count on for being good.My family is now ADDICTED to the sweet and sour shrimp and this one dish with veggies and chicken in the healthy section (which, as someone trying to watch her figure, is amazing for when I'm just too lazy to cook).For to-go orders they put the sauces on the side. It threw me off at first. We were able to save a lot of the sauces for future cooking though, so I can't be mad at it. I recommend using their versatile brown sauce for any dish you want to be savory.Those were the only two dishes that we tried as we combined our dinner that day with several restaurants to try to fill our list out, but seeing how it is so close, so good, cheap, and has nice staff? We are definitely going to go again.“
“Great place for history and food. It is expensive but worth the experience. Heather was our server and she was so attentive and gave us an overview of the history. Amazing experience. I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing experience.“
“The Country style Whitefish dinner with double okra for the 2 sides + 2 hushpuppies. If you have digestive issues, skip the okra and take some Lactaid because most of the breading has milk - per their website! SENIOR $ MEALS Wednesday and Sunday.“
“The owners are super nice and accommodating, they explain each dish in detail. The food is made to order and super fresh, and came out fast. The food is absolutely amazing, will definitely be back when I’m in the area. The dining area is extremely clean and spacious!“
“Atmosphere: Bright, airy, loud, great working space. Kid friendly, cleanService: attentive, friendly, quickFood: Breakfast Burrito and hot tea for $17+ was over valued. Burrito is mostly rice and was messy to eat. Would benefit from more breakfast ingredients (eggs/bacon) and a dipping sauce? Sour cream or salsa per the bean and rice style.Overall, would come back to try lunch and dinner items!“
“I had lunch with a friend. I decided to try something different so I got the fish filet sandwich and salad. I was not disappointed. I could only eat half of it, and took the rest home for dinner. The server was excellent, always checking on us even though we were there over two hours. My friend got the shrimp and strawberry salad. We talked so much, she took half of hers home as well. I look forward to my next meal there.“
“The service was very good, the food was excellent, and the ambiance was superb. The wine were a too expensive. Many of these bottles on the wine list can be found elsewhere for much less. They need more lower priced options especially compared to the menu. We opted to order wines by the glass and they did give us generous pours. We'd definitely go back!“
“Our server was great and the food was good as well. Our calamari came out underwhelming with a ton of breading that had fallen off. Our server asked how it was and we commented that it was a bit on the sad side. He promptly replaced it with a new serving. It was very thoughtful and quick.“
“Got the steak special, rockfish and Korean BBQ ribs special - everything was great! Small rotating menu, so what’s available one week may be gone the next. Even though the menu is small, the dishes are very strong. Highly recommend for a date night for any seafood person.“
“We came here for happy hour and I could taste that they used a good tequila in the margarita it was so good. I was going to get the firecracker shrimp but they had some Reuben sandwiches left from Saint Patties Day so we both had them and we weren’t disappointed! It came on marbled bread and the corned beef was sweet and tender with no gristle. Shout out to Brendan and DeAndre for excellent service! It was my BFF’s birthday dinner and they sent over a yummy chocolate cake for her. Thank you. Also, shout out to the chef as she really knows how to cook corned beef — it really was delectable.Edited to add that the beet tower with goat cheese was awesome!“
“Thank you to the Lilly Pad for your exceptional service. We were floating up to Rocketts Landing from Anchor Point Marina for the lighted boat parade and running late. We needed pizza for our hungry tummies so we pulled up to the dock and they came right out. Got us our pizza and we were back on our way in no time! And that pizza was sooooo good! Thanks also for the great party you throw every year for the specators! You are by far my favorite spot!“
“We had a reservation for a larger group on a Thursday night. The small restaurant was busy but our table was ready on time, it just took quite a while to get drinks and food ordered and then service after we got our food. Otherwise everything was absolutely flavorful and delicious. They really know what they’re doing! Portions are massive so come hungry or dine with friends.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pasta and pizza options were great! The mushrooms are especially delicious in various dishes.“
“We had a very nice dinner here. The shrimp and scallop with the orange sticky rice was perfect. The hardshell pasta dish was lovely. Seafood cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and pleasant. You can park across the street in the parking garage and they will stamp it for you.Also had the chocolate torte. Delicious!“
“Don't be deceived by the simple decor. The food is excellent! We both had tilefish entree. Fresh and well prepared, sitting atop a nice size bed of braised veggies. I'd requested lo sodium. And voila! That's exactly what i received. Friendly service. Prices reasonable. Highly recommended.“
“This was my cousin and my first time here and everything from entering the building to the ease of ordering was spectacular! We did have some recommendation's from Chef Kristi on some wine pairings and they did not disappoint! We tried the GRECHETTO, which is a white wine and for my girlies and guys who love Sauvignon blanc or Pinot Grigio, you will love this!! We also tried the PINOT NERO and this was a hit!! I'm a red wine drinker and this was so smooth and full of flavor! We had the fried homemade mozzarella and the Parmesan risotto fries to start (thanks Chef) and they were perfect!! I ordered the Pappardelle with Sausage Ragu and instead of the salad I had the Pancetta and onion soup! The consistency, the flavor, the temperature of the soup, all perfect! The pasta was so fresh, the sausage had an amazing taste and the sauce was perfect! My cousin ordered the chicken Alfredo Alfredo and the chicken was seasoned perfectly!! The sauce to pasta ratio was spot on!! For dessert we had the limoncello marscapone cake and yall... the freshest, most moist slice of cake I've ever had! The flavor of the lemon was not too overpowering and it did not stand a chance on that table! 10/10 recommend!!“
“Absolutely incredible! They always go above and beyond, and the food is extraordinary. If I lived a bit closer I’d order their food every day. Great menu, the staff is incredibly accommodating and helpful. They are very dedicated to providing great food and a great experience. Probably top 5 of my restaurants in Richmond. Give them a try or 2, you won’t regret it!“
“We went along with our family friends and had nice dining experience. Everything we ordered was great and tasted well. Shrimp Taco, Fish Taco, North Atlantic Salmon and other appetizers were the best. Would love to visit this place again and recommend to the familiesParking: Its in the mall“
“I’ve been eating at Sams for over 5 years. And they have never disappointed in any level. The seafood is always fresh and the greatest thing about Sams is you can call in your order, wait while it is prepared and talk it up with the owner who is super cool and show gratitude for your business. Yes there is only one Sams and people around the city loves his food. Also Sams has prepared southern foods. The ribs are to die for, the baked chicken is so tender with your choice of fresh vegetables. Way to go Sams! You and your staff are AWESOME! See you soon bro“
“I’ve eaten here for the past two weekends. The #1 jumbo males are my favorite. Last weekend I came as soon as he opened and requested to pick them up 3 hours later. Upon my arrival the owner had them boxed up and ready to go. My family was overjoyed with how fresh and succulent they were. Today was no different when I visited to get my #1 males. Same great customer service and amazing product for the past 20+ years we’ve visited.“
“Absolutely perfect experience (and we even saw entertainer Craig Robinson!)Chill vibe! Good music! Great food! Lots of Black Girl Magic and Black Boy (MAN!) Joy from the staff!Went on a Saturday at 3:45 pm. We waited 30 minutes - reasonable considering how packed it was. Journey, hostess, was so sweet! We requested to change our booth to a table so we’d have a high chair for our toddler. She quickly got us into another section. Our first server India China (sp?) was cheerful and kind. Our second server Isiah was upbeat, respectful and gave some awesome recommendations.The oyster’s Rockefeller were yummy!My hubby had the Croaker’s Kool Aid (adult beverage). Said it was good. The kids meal portion size was huge!! I ordered the ultimate feast!! Enough food for two or three people! Oh, it was DELICIOUS!! My hubby had the seafood feast and it, too, was large portion. Everything was seasoned well. Our sides included Mac & cheese, candied yams, collards, cabbage, and red mashed potatoes (laaaawd!) We had the -itis!!We all ordered a slice of cake (carrot; banana pudding; pineapple coconut) and a mini sweet potato pie to take home. We had 4 to-go boxes filled with food!We will definitely return the next time we are in RVA!!!Parking: We parked in a lot one street up. It was crowded and lots of puddles (was raining). There are no parking lines so folks were haphazard parked.Kid-friendliness: Hostess and servers were great to our kids!“
“a truly west end establishment that has been here for decades, i know because I have!! great food, fast service, clean inviting atmosphere and prices are on par if not a bit lower than similar places. they have the famous white sauce here too!“
“Went to a concert at the Broadberry. Got the munchies, so we walked down to Cabo Fish Taco in Scott’s Addition and scarfed up the carnita tacos! The tacos were absolutely yummy! We also loved the “make your own guacamole”, chips, and corn salsa. Abby was the sweetest - serving up delicious food with a kind smile! We will be back on another Friday for Trivia Night!“
“Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere! An extremely lovely experience overall. Very accommodating when I requested a dairy free meal. 10/10 The bartender (Justin) and chef (Adam) made the meal even more personable and enjoyable. Thank you!“
“A take-out restaurant for sandwiches and salads. Run by an elderly Asian couple. I was there at 2p and got a classic club sandwich (split in 4 corners and delicious ?), and I even saw a park bench for sale inside. I had a similar one at home and wanted to make a pair, so I also bought a great park bench that the man got from his friend in Poland!Will come again soon.“
“Very popular place! Casual family atmosphere. We met with family members for a group dinner at Riptides on a Saturday evening. They don't do reservations, so get there early with a large group! Service was very good, the servers were VERY busy and working hard. The restaurant was packed so noise level was higher than I expected. Atmosphere was busy and friendly.I had seared scallops that were perfectly cooked. Husband had baked catfish that was very good, but he will try blackened next time. We will be back! Highly recommended.Wheelchair accessibility: One level building, accessible“
“David was our waiter and he was such a great host. It was my husband and I first time there and he took the time to explain what items were his picks, what it had in it and the Valentine's special they had running as a special. The food was pretty good, the atmosphere was a bit lack luster but the service was excellent !! I ordered the lobster tails and my husband ordered the pork chop, every item on the menu came A la carte so it could be quite expensive. We got the Brussel sprouts and a pear blue cheese salad and they both were really tasty.I also ordered a long Island ice tea and it was pretty good. It made me a bit tipsy. We both said we'd try the restaurant again in the future.“
“I recently had the privilege of dining at this fine establishment after a friend of mine suggested it. Make a reservation well in advance! The place is tiny with the tables crammed in, which makes for a cozy dining experience as long as you don't mind sitting so close to the other tables. With that many people in there, it gets loud!! Sometimes it was hard to hear my date, so if you are looking for a quiet atmosphere, this isn't it. Our reservation was at 915pm and by the time we were done half the tables had cleared out. This place runs like a well-oiled machine! It was fun watching everyone rotate around like they were almost dancing. Now for the food. To start, you get a little loaf of bread, nothing to write home about. It's cold, we both agreed it would be better warm. My date ordered the clams in white sauce that come on spaghetti. She liked it but said it was unexpectedly spicy. I got the carbonara with spaghetti and it was delicious. It had a very strong black pepper profile, which I liked. You can tell the ingredients are of great quality. THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE!!!! They don't warn you of that on the menu; I'd say it's family-sized portions that are meant to be shared. My lovely date had a gin martini which in my opinion had a little bit too much vermouth, and I had a vodka tonic which was pretty standard. Unfortunately neither one of us saved room for dessert. The leftovers we took home will be enough for another meal ?. All in all, it was a great dining experience, my only complaint would be the noise level, but that can't really be helped. The whole atmosphere felt electric and alive. This place is now on my "Will Go Back" list!“
“HI GUYS THIS PLACE IS AMAZING, as long as you aren't being served by the guy with glasses ?, then you're good. Prices are amazing. The owner and staff respects people of all colors and nationality. The food is safe, it will save you if you're on your last dollar and need something for $6-$9 full plates. SUPPORT THEM THEY GOT YOU. just request not to be around the dude with glasses. Enjoy“
“We tried this spot out today for my birthday. I was craving some good seafood. My husband and I were not disappointed! I was doing the happy dance in my seat while peeling some amazing shrimp, lobster tail and crab legs in awesome Twisted sauce. We will definitely be going back! What a wonderful surprise this place was! Our waitress was so sweet, fun and attentive to us. Shout out to Antashia! I'm already trying to plan our next trip to Twisted Crab!“
“This is my favorite seafood boil restaurant and probably the 5th time I’ve come here since they opened (also ordered plenty of to go orders and I always leave satisfied. We dined here on Valentine’s Day and were seated immediately. The restaurant is spacious so I don’t think I’ve ever waited long. Our server Darrell was phenomenal.The food as usual did not disappoint. I love love the Cajun fried rice and catfish sliders (no tartar, add lettuce, remoulade sauce on the side) and had been looking forward to those for a week. We tried the battered buffalo wings for the first time and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly; would definitely order again. We also did a custom boil with 1/2 lb of each: crab legs, shrimp, sausage with the boil bay sauce and was the perfect amount for us. 10/10 experience per usual!“
“The food was great! Along with the customer service! I had the seafood fries, bang’n shrimp and the kids nuggets/tenders. I was late to a birthday celebration so I didn’t get to try anything fancy. Everything came out quick, with no issues. Their bathroom was super clean. I recommend trying, especially during their Thursday Happy Hour!“
“BEST SEAFOOD BOIL IN RVA. Just wanted to get that out there. Now, I've been going to sauce & toss since 2020, and they never disappoint. Lately it has been renovated to have a convenience store in half of it and the other half has seats for dinning. This is interesting but I guess it works for them. The overall vibe is casual, the decor and the overall "sea" theme is really cute. The service is always great and they are very attentive and kind. My bf and I always get bucket #4 and we got it spicy. I have noticed that the portions have gotten a lot smaller over the years. It's incredibly delicious. Then we get the Korean sweet chili wings which is also a FAVORITE of mine on the menu and the fries. I would rate this 20/10. It's so good! It's a little pricey I do have to say, our total was $120 before tip.“
“We visited tonight as we recently discovered how relaxed and inviting Stony Point is. We enjoyed a charcuterie board and drinks and especially the friendly staff. As our dog was watching from the door, they offered to deliver our food outside, then went back for a carafe of water for us. Delicious food and outstanding service, next time we’ll be trying the cheesecake and coffees too.“
“Highly recommend the Seared Salmon, the meal was a good portion where you’re full and don’t have much left over. The taste was phenomenal it was so good. My fiancé and I also got the 1/2 dozen oysters and seared scallops - Both were incredibly good! To finish the dinner we got the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream to share.“
“Delicious! I was thinking about how good it was all the next day!Also I have a pretty severe allergy. I explained it to the server and she made sure the kitchen knew. The manager even came out to make sure what they were making was ok. I felt very safe with the kitchen, which is not the case a lot of the time. I highly recommend giving this place a try!“
“This restaurant has never let me down. I was ordering from them off of a delivery app but I finally decided to save myself some money and visit them in person. The staff was super friendly and the food was really good. I recommend the sausage neapoletana it has been my go to. Highly recommended!“
“I ran to write this review!! I’ve not gotten service as great at as I had at this Skrimp Shack. First the food , the food was kept warm for us since it took over 40 minutes for us to arrive. The shrimp the catfish and the whiting sandwich were phenomenal.Then the owner who I thought was the manager took my drink cups filled my drinks got me ketchup which you normally have to make yourself offered me cup holders and insisted I take them he held the door open for me and was so pleasant.Sir you’re amazing. Thank you so much.We are from New Jersey we were just visiting family and to receive this type of service is wonderful. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I hope you open more restaurants because your customer service is terrific! Thank you again“
“Vegetarian options: There were very few selections of "vegetarian" dishes which included rice, noodles, and a couple varieties of vegetable options.Parking: Large parking lot with ample parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: There are many kid friendly options to choose from.“
“I don't know why I haven't heard about this place! Just happened to pass by it after my son's doctors appointment and am glad I stopped in. I got ox tails, but man, that food was soo good make you want to slap your momma ( Friday after next reference for those in the slow seats, lol) I definitely will be coming back and encourage all my foodies to try this place at least once!“
“My team just had the best dinner at The Mantu in RVA .Amazing upscale Afghan food. Chef Hamidullah Noori puts such love and care into his food and you can taste it! His heart for the community and those who are finding their way encourages all to do just a little better.Our party was open to trying as many things as we could. Favorite and most surprising appetizer- potato skins, most favorite entree was a tie between the sea bass and lamb. The veggie dumplings were so good too. Lots of veggie options. Favorite dessert was the saffron cake.. Did I mention the very attentive service? They were so welcoming and helpful. Whether you are looking to try some new flavors, need a good date night, or just want a great meal I highly recommend The Mantu! Reservations are a good idea. They also have great lunch options. I can't wait to go back!Vegetarian options: Loved the vegetable dumplings and grilled veggiesParking: Plenty of parking in a safe, well lit lot.“
“Great food! Authentic flavors. Best Asian inspired food I have had in a while. This is a new favorite for my partner and I. We typically order the Shrimp Egg Foo Young, *Sweet n Sour Chicken*, Orange Chicken/General Zao's, and Egg Rolls, among other things. We are highly satisfied each time we order. I highly recommend!Parking: Restaurant is in an odd location, in the corner of the parking lot. You have to park in front of another store and then walk around a slight corner to reach the store front. Well worth the hunt!“
“First time there, and we'll go back when in the area. The food was very good, great flavor. The only problem was that our waitress came and took our order. Two different people brought our food, and she never came back to see if we wanted refills on our drinks. The only time she came back was to give us our bill.“
“This place SHINES. I was a little skeptical due to location and the exterior appearance, but do not over look this gem. The owner greeted us with a friendly smile and ensured we had the best customer service throughout our visit. The crab legs, sausage and shrimp were better than any I've had locally and we are looking forward to visiting again soon.“
