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!“

“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!“

“Delicious burgers. Too big, so bring your appetite“

“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!“

“Food was great and our server was amazing! My only complaints are that my burger had A LOT of onions on it, but it's easy to pick some off and some folks probably love the excess of onions...and that some of the outdoor tables have benches that don't have backs to them, which is a little uncomfortable.

I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're interested!“

“Love supporting local food joints!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“What a great spot. I am a big believer in the smallest of places having the biggest of flavors and personalities.

This is it, Pop’s Dogs were just that great dogs. Walked in and immediately I was greeted by the folks inside and the barstools within reach of the door. I popped a squat, placed my order and had great conversations while Pop himself (unsure if it was himself) but watched him bend and stretch and dance around the tiny layout with the grace of a swan. Grabbing dogs, frying fries, pouring teas and lemonades.
Alas it was my turn to dig in and I sat outside with a local artist and his terrier and took it all in.
I enjoyed the food, was brave enough to have the seal broken on the pickle jar on the counter for a huge dill and was not disappointed.

Local artist hand drawing all the local places, some of his art stands inside Pops itself and is a drawing of Pops Dog Stand.

If you’re in the area, check it out and help support this landmark and as the signage says shop small!

Great ambiance of old medical devices, toys, papers and memorabilia. The 1920’s shock machine was my favorite and I need one to use as a Tens unit.

Great place, great people. I will return next time I am in Richmond.

“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*****“

“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 🔥 )“

“Always delicious.“

“This place is one you have to order out, but when I tell you the pizza is delicious, I mean it. To me, it is honestly one of the best (if not THE best) pizzeria in Richmond. The ingredients are fresh and the red sauce is perfection.

My only critique would be for a crispier crust, but that's just me. I have ordered their Greek pizza and have had both my aunt and grandmother try it and both agreed it was one of the best slices they've had since moving down here from NY (hence why I like a crispier crust, lol).

Tonight, I customized my pizza the way I would if I was at Blaze and it did not disappoint.“

“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.“

“Love the burgers, great restaurant! Just wondering what’s up with pick up orders. Haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone the past two days.“

“Love it“

“Dangerous place - everything (burgers, fries, donuts) is awesome!“

“stopped here tonight with my 4 year old on a long road trip and I can't say thank you enough. Great people, great food, great place! highly recommended if you love GWAR or crispy fries 🍟 👁“

“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 food & cozy atmosphere“

“I was there about an hour ago and I don’t know the lady name that served me at the window but on the receipt it says Ryan I just want to say she has great customer service and very well mannered I don’t run into too many people like that at fast food places so hopefully her manager sees this and give her some kind of reward and the food was great as well.“

“very good food excellent portion 😋..“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 had a great experience at Five Guys in Richmond, VA. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Our order was taken quickly and the service was fast. The food came out fresh and exactly as ordered. The burgers were delicious and the fries were hot and flavorful. Even though it was busy, the team worked efficiently and kept everything moving smoothly. The dining area and tables were kept clean throughout our visit. It’s always nice to see a place that takes pride in both their food and their service. I’ll definitely stop by again the next time I’m in Richmond.“

“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! 👍“

“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“

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

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

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

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

“I have a severe gluten allergy and ordered my food at a very super busy time and Keith from the store jumped up immediately and made sure it stayed gluten free. As someone who travels for a living this made me feel so safe since my entire bill of health is based on this allergy. Being able to find somewhere like this while traveling and someone like Keith makes a world of difference and I wish every person with an allergy or with celiac can find someone like Keith. He needs to be promoted!!!“

“Five guys on Forest Hill Ave. The really tall manager, he is very professional and friendly. I love eating here, the staff at night is always working hard and taking care of customers going above and beyond. I will definitely be back for more. Only con I would say is the price is a little high. But, its, worth it. Food tastes great everytime.“

“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!“

“Great authentic restaurant!“

“Delicious salad! �“
