Menu was so promising, but the food was underwhelming. The restaurant itself looks nice, and they have tvs if you want to watch sports, unfortunately, they are placed in odd locations to see from the tables. It was not busy when we were there. My husband ordered a falcon smash IPA, which he's had many times, and what he was served was clearly not that. He told the waitress it didn't taste right and asked for a tropication instead. The bartender/manager? brought it over and was a little hostile, stating she just wanted to make sure this one is okay. The waitress was disinterested and seemed bothered to be there. The cooper river jumble sounded promising, but missed the mark. If it weren't for the strange interaction about the beer, we might have given it another go, but there are too many better options in Richmond.

We decided to give this a try because my 10 year old stepdaughter liked the kid's menu. The kids got Mac and cheese bites and the 14 year old got French toast with potatoes and bacon and the 10 year old got chicken fingers and fries. I got a tuna melt with mixed greens with vinaigrette. My BF was the smart one and didn't eat.
The sauce for the Mac and cheese bites was listed as siracha aioli but tasted like thousand Island dressing with siracha.
The chicken fingers looked like they were baked and the fries were a strange texture... Almost like when you try to reheat fries at home. This one got sick when she got home.
The potatoes with the French toast were home fries I think but looked like potatoes boiled in corn oil. This one got sick when she got home.
The highlight of my tuna melt was the muffin it was served on and the vinaigrette on the side mixed greens. The tuna tasted old and was dry and cold. It was way too sweet, yet had an odd old fishy flavor, and tomato was a typical cafeteria style pink non flavored dry tomato. The "melt" looked like it was flashed in a broiler to semi melt the cheese. Luckily I did not get sick.... Yet...
My BF killed a flying wasp like insect on the window and we were dive bombed by fruit flies and other unidentified insects.
This place may have a nostalgic appeal for long term residents but I will not be coming back. If you're going to serve bar type food at least make sure it's edible and that your establishment is clean. I'm sorry. I really wanted to like my lunch and this local "restaurant."
PS reading the other reviews just reaffirmed my growing understanding that people in Richmond don't understand good food.
PPS update... I also got sick 🙄

Overall, good experience! Group of friends went here after a rec game and sat on the screened-in porch. Our server took good care of our table. The onion rings were fresh and hot. The Applewood BLT was solid, as were the homemade chips.

The food, service and atmosphere were great! Everyone was kind and the food came out promptly. Still warm and delicious!
