“Just came from an amazing lunch with my 3 kids..... The food was outstanding, the service was great and the atmosphere was very easy going with great blues music! Not your average fast food barbecue, this is the real thing... good, tasty, and the best smoked flavor! Right across from the airport, easy to get to..... Will be back often!”

“The margaritas are really tasty! And the Birria Quesadillas are amazing!”

“I have been a patron of this establishment for over 30 years and in all that time I have never been asked to pay a gratuity fee. I have had birthday parties , baby showers and rehearsal dinner. I realize there was six in my party. Paying by two different checks. The owner whom my kids played with growing up tells me its on the menu that the its up to the server degression to use it or not. You know where it is on the menu???? All the way down at the bottom paste the food items. In smaller print. Sad to say I will no longer be a customer here thanks to the sever Miranda”

“I’ve been wanting to check this place out for awhile. We stopped by this past Friday night to grab dessert on the way home after having dinner in shockoe bottom. Felt welcome as soon as we walked in. I could see this is a spot locals love. I let her know my son only wanted dessert and she didn’t hesitate to recommend Momma Doc’s. He ended up ordering the brownie sundae. Let me tell you, it must’ve been delicious cause he scarfed it down like he hadn’t eaten all night 😂. We will definitely be back. The menu was extensive, and the vibe was chill.”

“Stumbled upon this place while out in Sandston for work. What a gem. Food was great. High quality burgers and their buns taste home/locally made. Can’t believe I’ve never heard about this place. Will absolutely be returning.”

“We ate at the Mechanicsville location on our way home from out of state. I always order a chimichanga every time I have Mexican, which is often. I ordered one today with ground beef. When it was brought out to me it looked like a taquito ( a 1/3 of the size). A manager came over and was not happy when I told him that. He said that was their normal size chimi’s. To top it all off when I took my first bite It was shredded beef instead of ground beef. I put do NOT RECOMMEND and do not know what happened and now I cannot change it!!!!!!’”

“All was great good good and fast service”

“This was a very pleasant surprise! Our dinner was excellent, the waitress was charming and attentive, and I had the best "skinny " margarita ever!!! Cannot wait to go back!”

“Delicious chicken. Great customer service everytime you go in there. The owner or the manager is so nice. You can tell he appreciates the customers. He greets you with a smile everytime. His staff is a delight as well. They give you fresh hot chicken. It reminds me of the original Golde. Skillet I grew up on off Jefferson Davis.”

“This was my first time staying at this hotel, and despite its proximity to the airport, is very quiet inside and out. The room I had was impeccably clean, comfortable, with everything in sound working order. The room furnishings were great, and I really liked the bedside connectively, including conventional power outlets and USB ports on both sides of the bed. I did place an order at the Bistro, the in-house restaurant. And the food I ordered was excellent. The location is nice enough, and within walking distances to several restaurants. However, the only parking lot entrances are the two street sides ones off of Williamsburg Road, and there isn't one that is off the road that leads to a couple other hotels. It would be nice if there was. It's just a minor quibble though. As for the hotel staff, they were courteous and helpful. Overall, I was impressed with the hotel, and can see myself staying here again in the future.”

“We needed a place to eat before an early morning flight, and we're nicely surprised by the quality of food and especially the friendliness and niceness of the staff.”

“I went over there Monday, the food was cold and people was yelling in the back. I understand it is night time but its not a reason to not be professional. The cashier (mikera) and a girl through the drive thru was really rude to me like its not their fault if the food was cold and my order was wrong. After waiting almost 30 min a girl helped me with my order and she was the only one with a good energy, she apologized almost 5 times and got my order did again. She was the the person yelling the name(katherine). Yall need to review yall team and get the teenagers to actually do what they supposed to do. The manager was not even here.”

“This is a decent burger king. Sometimes they run out of items and you may have to wait but by the airport most restaurants are busy at certain times anyway. but honestly the people are nice and they try to get you out. My numbers are overall for good times and bad.”

“Well researched food, solidly composed cocktails, and a warm interior make The Roosevelt one of the most talked about restaurants in RVA currently. Chef Leah is as much a researcher as she is a good chef. Being a long time food writer who has been on assignment in many kitchens, its no surprise to me that Leah has carved out a reputation for herself in Richmond recently. She sources a lot from local farmers, adheres often to seasonal common sense, and takes inspiration from her reading and research on Soul Food, Southern food, and Virginia food. I wouldn't classify prices at The Roosevelt as cheap but also wouldn't classify them as extravagant either. Marketed by many as a "neighborhood spot" I always see The Roosevelt as a great date night spot, particularly for those who might fancy themselves foodies. Congrats to Leah and The Roosevelt on their recent James Beard nod. In my opinion, well deserved.”

“Tabbi was awesome. She was super attentive and she didn’t stop moving, cleaning, organizing and checking in with people the whole time I was there. She’s a rockstar employee!!”

“I have been twice now and both times the food was great. The view is outside is gorgeous btw. Now as for the food the menu is a variety of dishes themed from different parts of the world. It honestly doesn’t matter what you get it’s going to be delicious. If it’s on the menu when you go I highly recommend the Georgian flatbread, the bao buns, the chorreadas, or the cachapas!”

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

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at CHIC’N CRAVE in Petersburg! I placed a large order just 30 minutes before closing—four chicken sandwiches, a 20-piece chicken tender meal, and their amazing honey biscuits—and everything was fresh, hot, and made to order. That kind of care and quality, especially so close to closing time, really impressed me. The food? Top-tier. The chicken sandwiches were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the tenders were juicy with a golden crunch. But the honey biscuits stole the show—soft, buttery, and just the right touch of sweetness. What really stood out, though, was the service. The owner personally greeted me with a warm welcome, and you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality and pride in both food and service. If you're in Petersburg or just passing through, CHIC’N CRAVE on North Sycamore Street is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Grisette has been on my “must try” list for a while. We had an amazing dinner on Grisette’s covered patio! Everything was exceptionally prepared: cocktails, fresh in-house baked bread, steak tartare, and rockfish. Service was wonderful, too. Looking forward to returning!”

“Free cookies some days. They post a sign on the door. Super tasty cookies and brownies. Folks were very helpful assisting me in choosing the right items. A little pricey...but sized to share and very good. Very pleasant experience. Give them a try!”

“Delicious ice Cream and cones!”

“They have really nice staff, fast service, and some of the best boba in Richmond.”

“Super friendly and fast service!! Our first visit and staff was very helpful!”

“Best birria egg rolls in Richmond Virginia, food was exceptional 💯💯🫶🏾🫶🏾”

“Small place tucked into quiet neighborhood, the decor is interesting but too busy making the s all place feel smaller. Food was good but overpriced. Service was outstanding.”

“This was my favorite food in Richmond for breakfast/lunch. The people are friendly and patient with questions. The space is warm and inviting, but room for quiet work or reading too. And OMG! the food. I ordered it 3x in 5 days, including some to take home. Don’t miss this gem!”

“The best experience ever, The service was amazing but the food left us speechless. Came to dinner with dear friends that are all great cooks and we were awed by the flavors, presentation and dimensions of flavor. The seafood pasta was not only bountiful with fresh catches from the sea but the homemade pasta and sauce were divine. We were blessed that the chef came to the table to introduce himself; and although soft spoken, you could tell the pride he took in his craft. Highly recommend this new restaurant! Come and experience! Highly recommend”

“They have a fantastic, fresh, and interesting menu. The service is excellent without being too "stuffy." Henley on Grace is a perfect choice for a special afternoon or evening out.”

“We had a great meal with fantastic service. Will definitely be back.”

“We love their commitment to great food, their spirit of innovation, and the many gluten-free options they offer!”
