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“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“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!“

“Love supporting local food joints!“

“As it says in the name, they have burgers and they have brews. And both are phenomenal. The loaded tots and truffle fries were both delicious, great portion sizes and were a great start to the meal. Our burgers were all stacked high, every bite made me want more. A boozy milkshake for dessert completed the experience, so creamy and smooth, the PB&J totally hit the spot. Quick, good prices, and incredible food, everything you want in a restaurant!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped in randomly. Long day. Needed food. I've driven by this place so many times. Picked a random hot American pizza. XL. Holy hell this thing was good!! Dudes inside were nice, and got me a pizza from order to me walking to my car in less than 15min. Can't wait to try more of their pizzas!! Also, they have nightingale ice cream sandwiches!!!!“

“Love it“

“Service was very quick. We got refills when we needed them. We are a family of 5. Usually we have to wait and they text us. So we will walk over to the bookstore. This time we got a table right away. They had endless fries and kept them coming for the whole table. These sliders were delicious! We always get the stack of onion rings as well which are always nice and crispy. But not too crispy. The picky kids were even happy!“

“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 🍟 👁“

“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.“

“You gotta, just gotta try this place. The bologna burger harkens back to old days made new again (14 years in Lakeside). The cook is salty, kind, and fun to banter with. The owners came in and treated the granddaughters to pom poms, books, and bubble-maker sets, because everyone wants to be a cheerleader, books are priceless, and bubbles are fun. Great value. Great food. Close to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. So fun! So good!“

“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*****“

“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.“

“Great food & cozy atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely Amazing – Love at First Bite!

I can honestly say this was one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had. From the very first bite, I understood why it’s called Holly Philly – Love at First Bite! The steak was incredibly tender and juicy, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bread was fresh and soft. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and the flavors blended together perfectly.

The customer service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the entire experience enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was inviting, and my order was prepared quickly.

If you’re craving an authentic Philly cheesesteak, this is the place to go. Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending Holly Philly to all my friends and family. Five stars without hesitation!“

“very good food excellent portion 😋..“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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! 👍“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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 love their pepper steak and the curry chicken.“

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

“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.“

“Great Service!!“

“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!!!“

“Great authentic restaurant!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love Ironclad Sports Bar and Grill“
