New American Restaurants in Richmond, VA

“Caught up with an old friend I hadn’t seen since around ’95/’96 over lunch on 6/17/2025. I’m not usually a downtown Richmond person—city crowds just aren’t my thing—but I’m really glad he suggested this spot. I made the drive from King William, and it was absolutely worth it! The food was fantastic, and the laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect place to reconnect. I had the pork carnitas with a Caesar side salad—super flavorful, and the pork was incredibly tender. The Caesar dressing? Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I’d love to know if it was homemade or store-bought, because I need it in my life! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxed and cool meeting spot. I’m already planning to explore more RIC gems soon!“

“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 came in for galaxy con this past weekend and I ran by this place on the open table app to get a Saturday reservation. Place had great reviews and i loved the pictures so I wanted to give it a try. I was very impressed! My husband and son loved their food. I had an issue with the first thing I ordered being too spicy so they nicely took it back and had me order something else. The burger was delicious ! They then took both meals off my tab for me for the inconvenience . Great service and will be back! Oh and the rooftop area is beautiful!“

“My teenage niece and I had a blast playing the new mini golf holes! The space theme inside is really cool, the topiary animals outside are neat and all the holes are quirky and fun! We played twice and had a nice lunch in between.“

“Food was average at best. Out of everything including a cook. Actually closed the kitchen for about 30 minutes because cook was at end of shift and no one there to replace him. They are listed as a Priority Pass discounted restaurant and when asked, they looked at me like I was crazy. No clue.“

“Phenomenal flavors paired together for sweet and savory dishes. Unique menu options they change regularly! So yummy 😋“

“Absolutely fantastic service and food. From oysters, main course, and dessert...the meal was fabulous. I have several food allergies and the chef made a special meal for us on my birthday. Highly recommend! (side note: I dropped my napkin when stepping out to the powder room and the staff promptly had a fresh and folded one waiting upon return). Immaculate attention to detail and customer service 🙌“

“This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. We were just driving through Richmond and decided to stop here for a bite. My husband had the brisket sandwich which he said was fantastic. I had the trainwrek that was so large and outstanding I couldn’t finish it and have leftovers. The food is fresh and has exquisite flavor! If I’m ever in Richmond again I will be returning.“

“Wow. Wonderful experience.

Kids got chicken and waffles. The chicken was delicious (dad-tax).

The smoked salmon omelette was AMAZING. The herby cream cheese amped it up. The flavors went so well together.

Wifey got the croissant French toast. She said she will be seeking out croissant French toast from now on.

Our server was super nice. Highly recommend.“

“The bacon wrapped scallops are wonderful. The chicken pot pie was the best I have ever had. My compliments to the Chef �“

“Such a lovely place with great food!“

“This was my second experience at L'Opossum, just as the first - it was absolutely incredible. The food, service, & ambiance were outstanding. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to take my husband and father there as a birthday present. They both have been raving about it since.“

“Food was outstanding, from the Cobia special to the rhubarb hand pie. Excellent food would highly recommend“

“We tried Burtons tonight for my wife's birthday, and couldn't have been happier with out choice! The restaurant had a lively atmosphere - but felt really cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. From the calamari to steak and the lobster role, everything we had was delicious. A huge shout-out to our waiter, Robert, and Tristan, who made our dining experience fantastic!“

“Cozy, fun, friendly, and delicious cuisine. Loved the Calamari and eggplant!“

“I'm familiar with the chef, and his food is impeccable. The new menu debuted tonight, and supporting this business was absolutely worth it. Great service and an excellent place for gatherings.“

“A bit expensive but bussin burger and fries“

“I moved to the fan a year ago and Brazen quickly became my favorite spot. The food is absolutely amazing. The service? Even better. Finding Brazen gave me an amazing DELICIOUS place to come to after. I would would recommend 100 times over. I’ve never had a bad time here and it’s such a hidden gem. 10/10 recommend“

“My favorite venue for live music“

“Always a pleasure to visit Millie’s! One of our favorites!“

“This place is amazing. Last week, I ordered one of their bowls and took home ramen for my husband. He loved it so much that we went back this weekend. Even the kids ate the food (manic and cheese and plain ramen noodles), which almost never happens. The staff was super accommodating with our requests to adjust the order for the kiddos. We also loved the patio and ate outside while it rained, so that was cool too. Two thumbs up from us 👍👍😊“

“-Has an upstairs and downstairs stage area.
-To me it's an intimate venue as you are close to the stage.
-They do have a bar on both levels.
-Parking can be tricky. Suggest arriving early to secure a good parking spot around the area.
-Staff is nice every time.“

“Hood, reasonably priced food“

“Had lunch, busy little corner, worth the wait.“

“Great space. Beautiful. Food is great. From the app to the dessert. It’s just stuffy. The servers don’t seem to be happy. I remember this from the original location on Cary. This location started out different but has gotten a little stuffy again. It’s a great place! Relax! Have fun coming to work. You can go from 3.8 stars to 4.8 if you just breathe. Food is a yes! Atmosphere is a yes. Service is up tight! It matters“

“Definitely 5 stars! Me and my daughter went for brunch, a pitcher of Mimosas and the best breakfast I've ever had. My daughter ordered the biscuits and gravy. They were so good, almost like a she-crab bisque flavor gravy-absolutely wonderful. I ordered the chicken biscuit, was also wonderful, the hot honey with the fresh homemade Bisquit was so flavorful. No wait to be seated, the waitstaff was very friendly. Definitely recommend and definitely will go back!“

“The best cart in Richmond!“

“One of the best social gathering places in RVA. Love Scott’s Addition.“

“Cameron the bartender is the best ever 😊“

“They have a good classic burger and sweet potato fries. I would try them again.“

“Found Dinamo quite by accident. A Richmond-centric publication mentioned Dinamo as an aside in relation to another restaurant that had since closed. When we discovered Dinamo was still open (later evening) we decided to give it a whirl. The whirling airplane prop in the front window indicated that, at the very least, things would be not boring. We were coming in towards the end of service and were nonetheless greeted with warmth. Firstly, the bread got me baking again. No small feat. They were out of the T-Bone, which is what both of us were aiming for, and recommended the chicken. I dont like chicken. This chicken was amazing. Im still thinking about the bread and the beans. And the chicken. The Tiramisu was just, simply, decadent. Service, ambiance, food, hospitality…. Cant wait to return Dinamo. We added the“

“I ran across the Maple Street Biscuit Company quite by accident. Great breakfast place! The menu is well laid out and the food is very tasty. This is a fast casual set up with orders taken at the counter and you are given a number. Food comes out quick. Things that standout are the vegetarian mushroom gravy, iced coffee on tap right next to the sweet and unsweetened tea, and the strawberry short cake. My only problem is there is not one in the Raleigh area. Message to management: COME TO RALEIGH! I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Lobby Bar! Cole was exceptional and so attentive. He offered great recommendations and he was right - The ragú was amazing! I am so grateful I chose to stay in at the Quirk for dinner tonight! Thank you Cole for such amazing service tonight! Oh and great coffee!“

“The food and atmosphere is always great!!“

“Northside Grille has a ongoing great lineup of musical acts in a very relaxed atmosphere and high-quality talent“

“wraps , it is always worth it .“

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

“Great place to hangout with friends, and meet new people. Plenty to do here, with games like corn hole, basketball and pool, as well as plenty of seating if you just want to chill. The Monday night pool tournament is competitive, but the atmosphere is always friendly. Karaoke is on Thursday and Saturday, iirc. Bar staff and security are efficient and friendly, and the food options are plentiful, and always delicious! I highly recommend City Beach.“

“Honestly. Second home! Big Bone always got a fresh look with a smile to serve. Malik if you wanna give government names but I’ve been coming here for years and waited to review but the folks you meet here will become family. Don’t ever miss the opportunity! The food, especially the wings, are perfect. Brian, the owner, is also an amazing baker so if you get to try any of it, say yes. The food is great, the deserts are on another level, and the friends you’ll make- amazing. Don’t be creepy though.“

“I had dinner there last night for the first time with several friends. I was a little apprehensive due to (what I thought) was a limited menu and seating. Wow… was I wrong. Truly one of the best dinner entrees I’ve had in a long time. I had the Duck Breast. It was perfectly cooked and presented, slightly under medium rare with crispy skin, perfectly rendered. Very impressive!! My tablemates had Sea Bass (2) and Snapper. We all shared tastes of each other meals and all of them were very nice. Limited tables, but very comfortable and a beautiful bar that seats 8. We’ll be back“

“Food and drinks are awesome!!!“
