Pauline's Reviews
My first time will definitely not be my last time!!! Everything was delicious!! 💕
We went for dinner and will definitely go back. The fried gizzards were so tender and tasty. We also had pork chops, fried shrimp, corn pudding, Mac and cheese and collards; all of them were amazing. We got a brownie and pumpkin cheesecake to go. The portions were large and we took home leftovers. Can’t wait to go again
Fried fish is top tier! Literally the best I’ve had in RVA! Friendly service, nice calm atmosphere and great portions! 10/10 recommend! I’ll definitely be back!

Pauline's is a hidden gem and a cute, cozy restaurant serving some of the best Southern and soul food in the Richmond and Tri-cities area. The chef and owner runs a phenomenal one-man show, providing excellence in customer service where you feel like a guest. The food is consistently great, perfectly seasoned, fresh, and hot as if made to order. It is true Southern comfort food with a fresh, modern twist, made from the heart.
Standout dishes include the excellent fried fish, which comes with cornbread in the combo, and some of the best-tasting mac and cheese. The corn pudding is divine, rich, creamy, and subtly sweet. The peach wing sauce is sweet and savory, and the gizzards are cooked right and tender, not like breaded gravel. The vegan egg roll is super good, crispy on the outside and bursting with savory, soulful flavors, and the vegan brunch is also highly anticipated. While service is friendly and efficient, on busier days the food is worth a potential wait. This spot is a great choice for a casual meal and is easily one of the best locally.
