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!“

“Saw Slay burgers on TikTok and Facebook, noticed they were located in Richmond VA. Wanted to give it a try, and I gotta say, I was blown away, the interior design was custom made for the restaurant, the food was absolutely delicious, the menu was super easy and straight forward to read, they offer burgers, chicken sandwiches, hoagies, chicken wings, waffle fries, and drinks. The cooks KNOW what they’re doing, the front of house staff was amazing. 10/10 BETTER AND CHEAPER THEN 5 Guys. GO TO SLAY BURGERS“

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

“I’ve come here once before with a friend, and had a great experience then!

I’d had a really hard morning into the afternoon due to a tragedy and other events in my personal life.

When I walked in, just as I had opened my mouth to order, I immediately began to cry. The person at the register was very kind when taking my order despite my ordering through tears.

The person gave me space to gather myself, and gave me a little encouragement.

Because of the day I’d been having (which earlier had included a not great customer service experience) the gentleness and compassion of the server was enough to smooth over pieces of my day that felt raw.

By the way, I ordered the malt vanilla shake and it was the perfect treat in the midst of my day!“

“Love supporting local food joints!“

“I had a problem with a delivery order. Adam was so helpful, polite, and kind. He resolved the issue, made sure we were happy with the new food, and stopped by our table to check on us! Excellent management!! Jason was our server and was amazing!! Food as always was delicious and came to the table hot and fresh! Definitely recommend Chesterfield Red Robin for their service and food quality!! Thank you for your help!!“

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

“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 🔥 )“

“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.“

“Tiny place, better to take out but eat in counter service is available.
Great burgers and dogs! Also one of the only places I've found that still serves traditional footlong hot dogs.
Openly political party affiliated- if that bothers you.
For me, it doesn't affect the food, but also I'd prefer to be in the dark about my hot dog place's politics. Just focus on your hot dogs. But like I said, doesn't affect how the food tastes.“

“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*****“

“Always delicious.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We live and work in the Brookland Park Neighborhood and love BPK's accessibility, friendly atmosphere, well balanced menu and service. Not only have we dining multiple times, recently I was in a pinch for a cocktail party and found relief. At the very last minute I was able to place a catering order for three signature dishes and they were all crowd favorites! If you live in the neighborhood do yourself a favor and check them out. It's the place to bring your out of town guests and impress them with our neighborhoods offerings!“

“Burger’s are out of this world!!!“

“The food and the hospitality was amazing 🤘“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“Wow!!! This was my first order with Zombie pizza, and the pizza exceeded my expectations. The pizzas were ready before I had requested; communication was excellent; the pizzas were works of art, and the taste was impeccable. I will order again.“

“A good place to live with family or couples, I owed the strawberries for the seasonal dessert, even so everything was very tasty 😋“

“OMG! Go here if you haven’t. This place has the best doughnuts in RVA. Their menu is huge and has food from my childhood that makes my inner child so happy. The bologna sandwich? Perfect. They have perfected the recipe lol!! Thank you for the best customer service and kindness I received today. I always recommend this place to my friends and family, one you go you’ll understand why ;).“

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

“very good food excellent portion 😋..“

“Sugar shack on Huguenot has great service and excellent food. Will be back.“

“We drove all the way from Newport News Virginia to come here It was amazing food was great The staff was friendly music was perfect Great environment“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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! 👍“

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

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

“Loved it. Great views, amazing cocktails, perfect for late spring/early summer w a lovely breeze. Kid friendly, but don't be a jerk- if you are ordering food (for yourself or your kid) rub the two neurons together that it takes to understand how unfair it is to the staff to order food on the balcony - it SUCKS to have to get food to there, (and, shockingly!) even more than it sucks having to go back downstairs to order food. Just be a decent person, order drinks at the bar (like a normal person), and get your food downstairs close to the kitchen.... that way it is still warm when you get it, and you won't sound like a completely entitled dumbass when you complain about how long it took/how cold your food is, when you were too lazy to even try to go downstairs without the burden of an order.“

“Delicious salad! �“

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

“La pizza es completamente deliciosa, el servicio , las instalaciones 🙌🙌“

“Had a great time and they were very accommodating.“

“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.“

“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”!“

“My order was wrong tonight. Didn't now this till I got home. I ordered a little cheeseburger all the way, no ketchup, got home and had a little cheeseburger with only mustard and raw Onion. My boyfriend took it back to let them know that it was wrong, a long with the receipt. The staff seemed to be angry that we brought it back. Not one apology at at all. I understand that it was close to closing tim I am not as upset about the incorrect burger, as I am about the lack of compassion from the staff.“

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

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

“I’m fairly new to the area and have only visited Chipotle, Ironclad and Pig and Brew for food. I decided to come here since they are within walking distance from my home and I was not disappointed! The food is great and the guys who run the place are so friendly and welcoming and it honestly makes you want to eat there all the time. The cakes are delicious and moist. So good, I went back twice within the same day just for a second slice! They’re a great group of guys especially Junior who knows how to make people for comfortable and demonstrates, with great patience and enthusiasm, what it means to give great customer service. I can’t recommend their food enough and highly encourage any and everyone to give them a try if you’re in the area and have a sweet tooth for cake or a taste for something hot and filling.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“Great authentic restaurant!“

“Amazing wings, pizza, and service“

“My partner and I came out tonight around 10:45 for comfort food from the drive thru, and when I tell you we both got the best trays we've ever had you best believe it. Guy running the window said my pleasure and it made us giggle some too“

“The Applebee's on Midlothian and MOREFIELD PARK DRIVE was a very nice place to go to the atmosphere and the workers was very very nice and professional in what they were doing Me and my family truly enjoyed it we live on the north side of town and we will go all the way over there again just because it was so nice to be there .“

“The burgers are undeniably a bit pricey, yet they consistently deliver on flavor. The quality of the food makes the cost worthwhile, providing a satisfying experience. Moreover, the staff always provides exceptional customer service with a friendly attitude. It is always a pleasure to visit a store that maintains such a high standard of cleanliness.“
