9 Best Southern Restaurants in Richmond

“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.“

“My friends and I had a fantastic time indulging in multiple rounds of Lemon Drop Martinis, along with delicious appetizers like cornbread and wings, followed by a delightful dinner. Our server was exceptional, making the evening even more special as we celebrated my friend's birthday. To our surprise, they treated my friend to a complimentary glass of Prosecco adorned with a birthday candle. We couldn't resist sharing our entrees, which included smoked brisket meatballs, pan-roasted shrimp, and fried catfish, all of which were incredibly tasty. The portions were generous enough for sharing, and the fried catfish was simply the best we've ever tasted, prompting us to order some to take home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a cozy evening with friends or family!“

“This place is one of the best restaurants in Richmond hands down!!!! #crispyporkbelly❤️“

“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.“

“We have been to Southern Kitchen times, all visits have been great. Our server, Shuka (?), was great! She was very attentive, pleasant and informative. We asked her for time between courses, which she supplied. We started with fried okra (lightly battered) fantastic and salmon bites ( a lttle fishy). Our meals - Pork chop, stuffed flounder, and catfish both fried and blackened were prepared perfectly. All sides were yummy, candies sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries, collars, fried cabbage and green beans. Shuka brought both coffe and dessert at the same time making the end of a perfect dinner and evening. We will be back!“

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

“I waited all week to get a meal from Mama J ! I was very disappointed, my order was wrong no corn muffin ,got cabbage when I order collar greens. Waitress wrote collardgreens on my order but someone didn't read and gave me cabbage. Also gave me a teaspoon of potato salad .I came from Chesterfield to be disappointed. A 40.00 meal 0“

“Loved the duck and the fried green tomatoes. Great service, too!“

“The creative menu, food, service and eclectic atmosphere is sublime and the perfect match for any special occasion or just because you simply want the best around. Our table had the Beef Swellington as it is off the chart with its exceptional flavor and tenderness and the Halibut, beautifully married with fennel, orange and a few surprise spices made it one of the best we have ever had. Wine list is divine as is the Cocktail list. Highly recommend.“
