“We sat at the bar and the bar staff was both attentive and entertaining. The food was good, but mildly less than impressive in the price range. It was a relaxing meal to end a long day and if I go back, it would be with a much better appetite to enjoy the menu.“
“We came here for happy hour and I could taste that they used a good tequila in the margarita it was so good. I was going to get the firecracker shrimp but they had some Reuben sandwiches left from Saint Patties Day so we both had them and we weren’t disappointed! It came on marbled bread and the corned beef was sweet and tender with no gristle. Shout out to Brendan and DeAndre for excellent service! It was my BFF’s birthday dinner and they sent over a yummy chocolate cake for her. Thank you. Also, shout out to the chef as she really knows how to cook corned beef — it really was delectable.Edited to add that the beet tower with goat cheese was awesome!“
“Dinner at Alewife was the highlight of our five-day visit to Richmond. First off, it was a relief to get out of downtown Richmond with its huge empty parking lots, boarded up storefronts and deserted streets. The historic Church Hill section, with its 19th century row and other houses and interesting looking restaurants and shops, was such a pleasant change. Parking near Alewife was a bit of a challenge, but we quickly found a spot just a block away.The restaurant itself has a fascinating vibe, part friendly neighborhood spot and part disarmingly upmarket dining room. You just knew the food would be interesting, and it was. We started with a gin and tonic and a non-alcoholic beer. The menu is fairly short and apparently changes nightly, or at least frequently.I would never in this world think that I would enjoy an appetizer of raw oysters, bright green pickle juice, creme fraiche and fresh dill. But it was an amazing flavor combination. My partner's appetizer was equally interesting -- lox on thick, toasted rustic bread.As mains, we had the arctic char, with grilled carrots, and the skate, both perfectly prepared and delicious. Service throughout the meal was just right -- friendly, attentive but not overly so. Our charge for two, including tip, was around $150, well worth the price. Thank you for a great meal experience!“
“Most tender Cowboy Cut Ribeye I've ever had... My wife had the Medallions with Lump Crap, beautiful portions, perfect cook temps!! My Caesar salad was perfect with several anchovies served on top. For dessert I had the cheesecake, wife had the coffee and chocolate cake. Wonderful evening!!“
“Ok. So I ordered our door dash. I was not disappointed. I called the restaurant to confirm there menu is halal. I had the meat lovers pizza and club sandwiche. It was so good. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. I wish I knew about this place when I was pregnant“
“Me and daughter had a great lunch and Jamilla our server was a joy. Greeted with a big smile and was so helpful helping us decide. The service was quick, food was hot, delicious and enough to take home. If your in richmond stop by. You won’t be disappointed.“
“Went twice this week. First visit was excellent with great service. They rolled out the guacamole cart and made it right in front of us. Food was very good and reasonably priced. The second visit had slow service, no guacamole cart. The food was still good. The Mojito was very good.“
“We had our daughter’s 1st birthday party here after having to change the venue last minute due to weather. We reached out and they were able to accommodate our large party (30 people) which we are extremely grateful for. All of the staff were very welcoming from the time we walked in the door until we left. Abby and Corey made our experience here absolutely wonderful. The food and drinks were so good and it definitely helped that there was a little something for everyone!“
“This was my first time going here. The food and service was great. The environment was nice waterfront dining. There are boat docks and piers and a river side burm that people were able to fish from. The parking was easy and plentiful however I have heard in the peak season during the nice weather it gets very crowded so parking may be more of a challenge and possibly a wait to get in. They do have a waiting area with firepits and drink service which is a nice feature. I have also heard they have live music during the peak season. I checked the website and they have a good line up of live music coming this spring and summer. I am looking forward to going back during peak season to enjoy the waterside atmosphere with live music. I think this may be my new favorite go to place for the spring and summer. The food was great, they have good appetizers and personal pizza choices also like a Greek and Italian style and they had good beer choices and drink options. IPA’s like Stones and Falcon Smash and a Blackberry cider. There were lots of other food choices on the menu also. I recommend you try this place for the atmosphere, the drinks and the food.“
“Excellent place to eat, I really like the service, Tara was super great, her service was excellent, they should have more staff like her, she gave us an excellent recommendation and was very friendly, the food was very delicious, the bread they offer is super fresh and the lobster tail was very delicious“
“We have been dining here since they opened many, many years ago. The reason is because the food is always authentic and freshly made, the price is always good and the staff do a great job to make you comfortable. My wife and I are eating here again this Sunday for our 39th wedding anniversary. We have made this our go to place for many of our Birthdays and anniversaries.Thanks for the memories!“
“It was fine. It wasnt mind blowing. The main reason i went there was for the cheese wheel. Apparently, it's only there when the manager is there. The portions weren't that big, and i didn't get much crab meat, but at least it was tasty. Another thing i didn't like was i ordered a drink but changed my mind in less than 5 mins. My server didn't want to take it off the bill before i even received the drink, so i ended up paying for it. At least it was pretty ?“
“OMG. SUCH A NICE GUY. EVEN WHEN HE IS CLOSED HE WILL.COME OPEN UP FOR ME. AND THE CRABS ARE DYNAMITE!!! SO SO GOOD DELICIOUS. REALLY NICE PEOPLE. PRICE GREAT. HE EVEN THROW IN EXTRAS ! MY CLIENT LOVES THEM TOO. HE SAY THEY ARE REALLY REALLY GOOD!Parking: Not too bad. Only if alot of people don't come at one time. But I never had a problem parking“
“Would give them 100 ⭐️'s! This is an absolute hidden gem in the city of Richmond. We stopped in before heading to a show at Altria. Not big, ting place, but we squeezed in at the bar and made bar buddies with the couple sitting next to us since we were bumping elbows. I ordered the Oyster Mushroom meal, and it was one of the most amazing dishes I've ever eaten. Didn't even know you could make it into a full meal. My buddy got fresh made sausage, which he gave me a bite of, and it was incredible as well. If you want some top of line Italian food and not the normal stuff, you need to try Dinamo!“
“Don't be deceived by the simple decor. The food is excellent! We both had tilefish entree. Fresh and well prepared, sitting atop a nice size bed of braised veggies. I'd requested lo sodium. And voila! That's exactly what i received. Friendly service. Prices reasonable. Highly recommended.“
“Lynelle made my sons 15th birthday INCREDIBLE. We had a horrible experience at a different restaurant before even getting sat which luckily led us to her table at Firebirds. The customer service AND food were beyond incredible and the signed birthday card was ABOVE and beyond. Thank you so much for making us feel special!!!!“
“A take-out restaurant for sandwiches and salads. Run by an elderly Asian couple. I was there at 2p and got a classic club sandwich (split in 4 corners and delicious ?), and I even saw a park bench for sale inside. I had a similar one at home and wanted to make a pair, so I also bought a great park bench that the man got from his friend in Poland!Will come again soon.“
“I’ve eaten here for the past two weekends. The #1 jumbo males are my favorite. Last weekend I came as soon as he opened and requested to pick them up 3 hours later. Upon my arrival the owner had them boxed up and ready to go. My family was overjoyed with how fresh and succulent they were. Today was no different when I visited to get my #1 males. Same great customer service and amazing product for the past 20+ years we’ve visited.“
“The experience was great. We had a group of 9 and everything was awesome. I loved the fact that the food was hot when it came out, instead of loop warm like most places these days. The waitress was perfect for our group. Nice family and friends feel. I will tell people.“
“Simple menu. Amazing food, very well prepared without costing a fortune. Best hushpuppies ever. Definitely try the Tipsy Crab fries. ? Great service too. Very friendly and on point. Would definitely go back.Also, love the old building vibe with original tin ceilings and even walls with painting of a blue crab.Parking: We went on a Wednesday night, so had no problems getting street in front of the restaurant. I was very glad of that bec hubby and I walk with a cane.Kid-friendliness: I probably wouldn't bring kids here? It's casual enough, but other than fries & wings, not sure if food options would suit kid's palate. But, you never know.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to use to get into the restaurant. It requires the opening of a gate to access (front of restaurant has a metal fence around it.) So, WC user may need some assistance. Didn't check the bathroom.“
“I went on the weekend with my family and it was the best seafood boils we’ve had in Richmond. The works sauce medium is my top recommendation for the boil bags. The wings and fried food were really good too. They were busy, but food came out on time and service was outstanding. Highly recommend this establishment!“
“We had a lovely Easter brunch outside on the front patio. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Easy to check in to our reservation and they were able to accommodate our request to sit outside. Kids menu worked well for our 2 children (4&6) and my husband and I loved the grouper sandwich. Great experience and lovely setting.“
“I just visited today after being referred by a friend. I had the fish, shrimp, chicken and fries. Absolutely a hidden gem in the Chamberlayne Ave area. The exterior lacks appeal but the food quality and service makes up for it. I even tried the special seasoning and it was !“
“The fish is good..my fish sandwich was well seasoned fried right..Tge customer service was excellent and friendly.. I like my fried whiting sandwich with fried onions a cheese and barbecue sauce.. I ate most it before I had a chance to put the sauce on..I had two that dayWheelchair accessibility: You can roll right in.“
“Every bit of seafood was top notch. Crab meat was firm, lobster tail was perfectly cooked, as was the shrimp and clams.The service was especially great. The guy running the place was very attentive, and offered to tweak things a little just for our preference. He did a great job!“
“Had a birthday dinner for husband with family at Stony Point location… first time there…. atmosphere and servers wonderful… seafood was awesome… did not have room for dessert but we will definitely be back! Granddaughters ate from kids menu which was very good.“
“Great experience. Greeted by several staff members on a Friday evening. They encouraged us to speak Spanish which was fun. We were regularly checked on. The place was lovely. It’s a more modern look than the traditional Mexican restaurants. The music was great and there were large TVs playing soccer at the time. The food was awesome. Very good margaritas. I thought about it for days, wanting to go back. There’s a big seafood entree that looked yummy, not sure what it included but I want to find out!“
“This restaurant has never let me down. I was ordering from them off of a delivery app but I finally decided to save myself some money and visit them in person. The staff was super friendly and the food was really good. I recommend the sausage neapoletana it has been my go to. Highly recommended!“
“Hands down the best steakhouse in the city! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family by the warm and welcoming staff. The steak? Absolutely divine – cooked to perfection every time. But what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service, especially from our favorite server, Kim. Her attention to detail and genuine care make every visit memorable. Management goes above and beyond to ensure a first-class experience. Whether it's a special occasion or just a casual dinner, this steakhouse never disappoints. A must-visit for steak lovers!“
“Had a night out with the Lady, it took a second to get seated, & there wasn't anywhere to wait that wasn't in the way of the wait staff, but we were seated in a nice corner section, making it very easy to hear my girlfriend, despite it being quite bustling, we had the branzino & the napolese spaghetti with squid, scallops, mussels, etc, I am finishing the leftovers now, two days later & it is still delicious. Would give 5 stars if there was a lobby or waiting area.“
“I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by the delicious food, impeccable service, and the wonderful waitress Tiffany. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special meal out. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others looking for a top-notch dining experience.“
“The food was great! Along with the customer service! I had the seafood fries, bang’n shrimp and the kids nuggets/tenders. I was late to a birthday celebration so I didn’t get to try anything fancy. Everything came out quick, with no issues. Their bathroom was super clean. I recommend trying, especially during their Thursday Happy Hour!“
“We visited tonight as we recently discovered how relaxed and inviting Stony Point is. We enjoyed a charcuterie board and drinks and especially the friendly staff. As our dog was watching from the door, they offered to deliver our food outside, then went back for a carafe of water for us. Delicious food and outstanding service, next time we’ll be trying the cheesecake and coffees too.“
“The food is incredible. The server was very nice, I just wish she was a bit more professional and wrote things down, rather than yelling back to the kitchen through the main dining area--it messed with the vibe a bit, but I'd definitely return.Parking: It's a full lot, easy to park in“
“I cannot wait to return..the books are the best I have had and I have been to many places slip Williamsburg go here instead!! The hush puppies are delicious!! It's been a few months and I can still taste the crab boil!! Get the cajon spice!? A must!! The service was great as well we had a black waiter he had dreads and handsome great eye candy always works when you have great food?? ?.. ohh the drink was great they have a bar?! I was on a date so did not take picsDietary restrictions: They have a vast menu site you will find somethingParking: They are in a shopping center it gets crowded so be aware of that and your surroundings.Kid-friendliness: Yes family friendly place the music is loud when they have a DJ we went on a Saturday afternoon it was loud to meWheelchair accessibility: They have a large section behind the booths so wheelchairs can get through“
“It’s a seafood place and a convenience store so it’s a chill atmosphere. The guy working the register/tables is super nice. I got the snow crab boil and my friend got the shrimp boil with ramen. Both were great. The ramen was nice and salty because it soaked up the flavor from the rest of the boil. The snow crab was great and they do give you a metal cracker to use. I’ll definitely come again. For parking, there’s street parking and a parking lot that’s very close.“
“I ran to write this review!! I’ve not gotten service as great at as I had at this Skrimp Shack. First the food , the food was kept warm for us since it took over 40 minutes for us to arrive. The shrimp the catfish and the whiting sandwich were phenomenal.Then the owner who I thought was the manager took my drink cups filled my drinks got me ketchup which you normally have to make yourself offered me cup holders and insisted I take them he held the door open for me and was so pleasant.Sir you’re amazing. Thank you so much.We are from New Jersey we were just visiting family and to receive this type of service is wonderful. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I hope you open more restaurants because your customer service is terrific! Thank you again“
“This little diamond in the rough is my new favorite mexican spot. I came early to avoid dinner crowd. I absolutely love this authentic atmosphere and food which is true to its culture with complex spices and flavor. The service was exceptional and price was right. Staff is bilingual and attentive. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean. The menu variety is on point. I will definitely be back.“
“I live Yoshi Sushi! They have always given me great service and very tasty food. I worked with sushi restaurants for about 10 years and I can say that the quality is great for the price. I always get the Tropical roll, it’s like dessert. The sushi rice is delicious, cooked just right. Nothing worse than sushi with overcooked rice. The foods that come from the kitchen are also great. Shrimp and veggie tempura, hibachi, and yaki soba are among my favorites.“
“I don't know why I haven't heard about this place! Just happened to pass by it after my son's doctors appointment and am glad I stopped in. I got ox tails, but man, that food was soo good make you want to slap your momma ( Friday after next reference for those in the slow seats, lol) I definitely will be coming back and encourage all my foodies to try this place at least once!“
“This is my favorite seafood boil restaurant and probably the 5th time I’ve come here since they opened (also ordered plenty of to go orders and I always leave satisfied. We dined here on Valentine’s Day and were seated immediately. The restaurant is spacious so I don’t think I’ve ever waited long. Our server Darrell was phenomenal.The food as usual did not disappoint. I love love the Cajun fried rice and catfish sliders (no tartar, add lettuce, remoulade sauce on the side) and had been looking forward to those for a week. We tried the battered buffalo wings for the first time and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly; would definitely order again. We also did a custom boil with 1/2 lb of each: crab legs, shrimp, sausage with the boil bay sauce and was the perfect amount for us. 10/10 experience per usual!“
“Definitely for takeout, not for dining in. So far it’s had the best Chinese food of any restaurant I’ve tried in this area. The pork fried rice has the tasty chopped pork I expect to get instead of the little stringy brown pieces that many Chinese restaurants are using now. However, it lacked flavor. The beef with vegetables has very tender pieces of meat, and the vegetables taste very fresh. It’s very good, but needs a bit more brown sauce. The boneless barbecued pork has wonderful flavor but too many pieces with gristle, so I don’t recommend it. Overall, I’ve had two good experiences with Tings’s so far, and I will be ordering from them again.“
“I can't give it a 5 because the food is good but they run out of food. The customer service is good, but it takes forever to get it. I wish they had a way to order before you get there because otherwise, you are standing outside in a long line cold,hot, rain,or snow.“
“The price for an order of birria tacos is pro-founding!!! Not only are they delicious but they come in a hefty portion. The service, phenomenal! I forgot to ask for their name, but they were so patient and kind. I will definitely come back here!“
“My boyfriend picked up lunch for us at this location. He got the snow crab leg boil with corn, potatoes and sausage, I got the Sha Bang Bang Shrimp(comes with rice) & an order of their Cajun fries. Both orders were PHENOMENAL, and according to my boyfriend the staff was very helpful and friendly. We definitely will be coming back here. My food is pictured, shrimps were giant and extremely flavorful. The rice was high quality and you could tell they rinsed it and seasoned it with care. The fries were SO tasty and crispy. Cannot say enough about how good this food was.“
“If you come here come for the 90s italian atmosphere. Weird nostolgia kickMozerella stix - Only get fresh not takout. Mid at best marinara.Mozerella mix not very goey, hence get hot.Fries- over cooked extra brown. Ok for being that.Chicken parm - slight chlorine taste in chicken. Might still eat again?Pizza veggie - mid' not greasycheaper end of price range is +“
“Really delicious food and super sweet owners! The restaurant is SUPER cute inside! I got a matcha boba tea and bulgogi and it was delicious! There was even a cute little shop with plushies and keychains and a photo opportunity! I will definitely go back with friends! It’s so good!“
