Great atmosphere. 2nd time I've been there since I am from Georgia and travel up here for business. This time set at a table because the bar was full but Heidi my waitress was amazing. She made sure I had everything I needed and made sure I was very happy. Great to talk to and will definitely be going back because of the service she gave me!!! Even though she was super busy and I was just a table of one she gave me the same service as a table of 5.

This place is cute and cozy. They do have space for a few larger tables and high chairs, but it's definitely not an easy place to go to with kids or a large group.

The food was alright. It was standard American food, but nothing amazing. It is nice that they have non-dairy cheese options for pizza.

A Richmond institution; whether it's a hungover brunch or the beginning of a night on the town, Joe's has you covered and then some. Giant portions of Spaghetti or pancakes on tap at a reasonable price.

One of the best cheesesteaks I have had. Fries were great as well. Friendly staff. I will be back.

We ordered cheesesteak subs, grilled cheese ( which my favorite aunt enjoyed) and a tuna fish sandwich that were charcoal burnt and inedible. The waitress was flighty but she did have sense enough to get the manager involved when I told her our food was TERRIBLE. The manager then explained that he only worked 2 days per week but he wanted us to be satisfied and to make sure we had a good dining experience. SOOO…we ordered a pizza and were disappointed as well because it was the worst FROZEN PIZZA ever!!! That’s right, FROZEN PIZZA!! To top it off, the tiny booth we were trapped in had maple syrup spilled on the seat and got all over my favorite cousin’s pocket book and clothes. We’re never going back and hope this review is helpful to those considering joining the “woke” folks and eating there. By the way, our meal was comped as a final attempt to satisfy us but it still wasn’t enough. The best part of this experience was my time spent with my family. Poor Joe’s at the Fan is a horrible place to eat and is lucky to still be in business. If there was a way to rate this dive with a zero, guess what the score would be?

Parking could get bad quickly. Otherwise, good place.

Sure it's not your glamour white table cloth Michelin restaurant. But this is all about homey late night eat. Few eateries in Richmond operates this late. The no frill carb heavy menu hits the spot for those had a few extra glasses and missed 9pm dinner cutoff at most downtown food choices... Small but friendly staff with hearty portioned food, this 70+ years old local legend will remain my favorite regardless what my wife thinks😁😁😁!!!!!

went at like 4:30 so there weren't many people there it was nice
4 stars cause it wasn't very accessible for mobility aids or children but luckily no one in our party had to worry about that
