50 Best Burger Restaurants in Richmond

“My pop came through town about two weeks ago. He said he wanted to grab lunch. I work nearby, and knew he loves a good burger. I was concerned because my mother (who loves cooking, loves learning new recipes, but has her classics and go-to’s, makes his burgers) would never hear the end of it, if the meal was awesome. Well. I was right. So my mom and my pops came to town and wanted to have dinner, with me and my partner. After politely asking us recommendations and subtly dodging each place my partner and I mentioned. My mom asks, “Where did you take Daddy for lunch?” We ended up hanging out and chatting while the staff started to close up. Great food. Every time. Great fast friendly service. Every time. Need a restaurant that your parents like to get them to visit? (Probably not) but THANK YOU, EAZZY BURGER!“

“The burgers are so good and great portions. Service is fantastic also.“

“My wife wanted something to eat and my co worker told me Slay Burger’s Turkey burgers are really good. So I order her the turkey burger with onion rings and she loved it. Burger grilled perfectly and onion rings were a hit! Brownie points secured! Thank you 😊 Slay Burgers!“

“This is THEE burger & shake spot!! If that's the vibe you're going for, look no further. It's retro 50s diner type eating.
Great, fresh food, staff & service is great, the only thing I don't like about the atmosphere is that it's always packed! - Because, it's just that good! Lol
Eat and enjoy, and thank me later!“

“Love supporting local food joints!“

“My family and I took my Mother there for her 91st birthday. In all there were 14 of us. The staff took great care of us. We ordered from the brunch menu. Everyone one of us had a wonderful time. The food was tasty, chef (AJ) even came out to say Happy Birthday to his Grandmother! Several of us said we will return again. The dinner menu looks amazing I wanted to stay for dinner but I had to head home and I was too full from brunch. I wish Sweet P's much success!“

“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 🔥 )“

“Stopped in for some burgers and bottomless fries... Not disappointed. I think the A1 Burger is something new on the menu and it was really good, highly recommend. Got grilled chicken breast and fries, the chicken breast was cooked perfectly! Wife loved the bacon cheeseburger!“

“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!“

“I do a Cheeseburger Blog (RVA) and highly recommend Habit. If you go to my page, you will see how Habit compares to what I've critiqued so far. I wish there was a way to post my review on this page.“

“Great local hidden gem for burgers and hot dogs!! Sweet Ice tea was on point and not rot your teeth out sweet. There is counter service here and plenty of outdoor seating. The cook and counter Lady were helpful, friendly, and fun to talk to.“

“Great burgers, best chicken wings and fresh salads! Loved it!“

“Always delicious.“

“When Roy, his wife and I worked there, they made you where satisfied with your Burger he would get on the phone call to get Burgers that were thicker and not full of grease! Of course things are higher but so is everything. Everything are just as good today as yesterday! Don't change*****“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“Let me tell you what this Italian place is the 2nd best pizza place I have ever eaten from and I've been all over the country eating pizza their pizza is just like God fathers pizza it's unreal down to the marinara sauce being sweet the pizza being done to perfection and soft I will tell anyone you want good pizza in Richmond or rva zombies pizza is the place to go the chicken and pineapple couldn't have been cooked any better“

“We were asked to LEAVE the restaurant by the manager. He told us that just ordering drinks was not making him money and we were taking up space from the people waiting to be seated. I looked and there was NO ONE WAITING. I hope everyone believes this. I was embarrassed and so very angry that I got up and left before I spoke out in anger. Also we had already decided to come back there and have lunch after our scheduled tour was over. After how he treated us..... he lost our business and the business from everyone else I tell my experience to This is the review I posted on their website.“

“The food and the hospitality was amazing 🤘“

“Burger’s are out of this world!!!“

“I’m a bit disappointed! I came to get ice cream and funnel cake. The kitchen was already closed, well before the listed closing time and the cost of the ice cream for a single scoop was shocking. I know y’all have good food but I will be reconsidering coming back. 🥺“

“We love going to the Short Pump location. The food is amazing but very disappointed that the Onion Nest is no longer on the menu.“

“Great place! Love GWAR and the GWAR BAR, took my youngest son with me and he loved the ambiance… We both got shirts and wear them all the time!“

“so fresh & delicious. have every flavor donuts you want. friendly staff and very much so inexpensive. a must try again“

“Five out of five stars. Good food and great people!“

“very good food excellent portion 😋..“

“I went to the Holly Philly foodtruck located on Midlothian turnpike at the BP gas station. The customer service was outstanding and it was hands down the Best Philly sub I have had in a long time. I ordered their #7 12 inch combo and it was enough food to split for two people. I will definitely be returning!“

“It's a well known Hotspot for the younger crowd, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on Cookout from an older adult's perspective. This place is AMAZING! No matter what time you go, the food is fresh and hot! The milkshakes are INCREDIBLE..and a huge variety as well and unlike the laziness of McDonald's not wanting to take care of the shake machine, I have never been told their shake machine is down at Cookout! The menu choices are great too...make sure to try their BBQ sandwich and hushpuppies for a nice change.
Overall ..this place is probably the best fast food restaurant around!“

“Great authentic restaurant!“

“Just ate at the location in Mechanicsville (couldn’t find a page for them)and it was delicious! We will definitely be back.“

“covid guidelines, great service, and yummy burgers. get a free burger in your birth month“

“Gay-Fa-Lay Flipper Waffle-fry nachos“

“Highly recommended. The service, food and ambience is 10/10. Our server Nikki was awesome.“

“Only fan spot where the primary staff make you feel that they’re glad you’re there. Just don’t get that elsewhere. Really annoying Eagles songs though. When it’s jumpin’, it’s an experience.“

“Just stopped by from out of town for a drive thru order and I can honestly say we’ve never had a more friendly or pleasant person take our order ❤️ We ordered some chicken bites and smoke burgers. Both were very good. Keep up the good work!“

“My husband and I eat there almost every day! The food is awesome, as is the staff. Hats off to the manager AJ and staff Leonanna, Jill, Lori, Cam, Chelsea, Ashleigh and Asa. They are all very welcoming and great at their jobs. We just love them and Eggs Up.“

“Dave’s new joint has all of the ambiance of a traditional fan bar with Museum District class and Devil’s Triangle flair. Get yourself a Guinness and some fiery “Satan Wings”!“

“I love their pepper steak and the curry chicken.“

“Stopped by here today and got the lamb and rice and fish with mac n cheese and greens. Everything was delicious but i wasnt fond of the mac n cheese.. alot of people coming in to get food very busy place. The guy that was taking orders and working the register was very friendly and seem to know all his customers that frequent regularly. Definitely recommend this place. Prices were good 👍“

“They have great food at Shorty's Diner at this location and the one in Williamsburg. Reminds me so much of the 1950's lifestyle at both locations and the people are nice. Top notch customer service! 👍“

“Great Great Great. The best Jamaican food in Richmond“

“Very dog friendly to our three pups. Brought water out for them. Food was Fantastic“

“The food is stellar. I mean, the burgers and fries taste like not meeting your grandchildren, but you have to know that going in.
My only complaint is that i saw three bears on the gents working, but not a single net in sight. If that isn’t a thing, then that’s on me. To be fair, everyone was polite, upbeat, and delivered great service“

“Dope RVA spot! 🥃🥃🇺🇸🇺🇸. Has some Vets running around there too, so I’m all in! ✊🏻🫡“

“Left great review but had to go and edit it the food is horrible I asked for specific wing sauce and received different also wanted my wings well done they were pretty much not they charged me .79 for a small cup of ranch which taste like hidden valley & they frys could atleast have some salt or seasoning tasted like I was eating air literally ill just stick with Buffalo Wild Wings can’t go wrong there ! This place is horrible“

“Everything about our experience was amazing! The food the staff!!! We will definitely be back!!“

“I am honestly giving this five star review because of the great customer service from the young man who was behind the register (specifically on Wednesday Nov. 26th 2025 @ 9pm). I didnt get his name, but he showed a level of professionalism through and through and instantly handled a discrepancy I had with my order. Quality employee.“

“Awesome place. Great food and fast service. Friendly staff!! Has Every food ( Burgers, Nissan, Cantonese, Seafood like friend fish, chicken tenders and the best tender wings you can imagine with 30 sauces to choose from. It's strictly take out only. This place used to be old Dunes BBQ bldg if that helps to know where they are. Mechanicsville Turnpike. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Thank you for being open on Christmas Day night!“

“The burgers are great and at a great price! They also offer many other great selections of chili cheese fries, corn dogs, shakes, etc. Today, I got their hotdog with slaw. It was tasty but not overfilling. The service is quick and even when there is a long line in the drive-thru, it still goes quickly. The food is always hot. I think they cook your order while you are ordering and the best part is you can choose from a wide array of toppings.“

“I love Ironclad Sports Bar and Grill“

“Delicious salad! �“
