23 Best American Restaurants near Richmond

“Delicious dessert table provided by Sweet Simone's at a wedding this past weekend. YUM!“

“The Kitchen Table is my favorite restaurant - they have fabulous local food sourced from local farms. The food is healthy and affordable and super high quality. If you have special diet requirements, the chef is always willing to accommodate your needs. The ambiance is friendly, warm, historic, and intimate. I highly recommend The Kitchen Table.“

“Stopped after dropping our daughter off at UVM. Great vibe inside. A bit awkward on the front parking lot but staff was great. Food and beer were both delicious. I was pleased to find options beyond the classic (and always delicious) NE style IPA“

“Get the homemade spinach artichoke dip. You won’t be sorry!“

“We had such fun ? The Entire Team of Well Polished Professionals created the perfect blend of personality gently mixed with an easy positive vibe, the Mexican cuisine out of this world and OUT of of this Universe are the speciality cocktails. Ya, it is a bit pricy but this is not Taco Bell. Go completely to the other side of the spectrum, add some Phish & Buddha & you got Big Spruce ❣️❤️‍?❣️ No, not done. This organization continues to evolve. Soon they will have many new and exciting offerings. They are feeling there way meticulously in order to offer you and me the best possible, highest quality experience. We were told the same owners we did not have the pleasure of meeting thus time, however, Bella one of their daughters is seriously an angel on earth ? Apparently, these folks own and run, hands on, the Restaurant across the street too!“

“I travel 3 hours to visit. Best food!!! ❤❤❤“

“We went with someone that has been several times before. Very busy place, but I guess that's typical for this place for brunch. They have a fairly wide variety of breakfast/brunch item on the menu as well as some unusual ones (fried parsnip chips?). The food was excellent. The table service was as quick and as efficient as it could be in spite of how busy they were. Definitely worth returning to...“

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.“

“The food and customer service is always good. One of our favorite places to go.“

“Great food, friendly service, very reasonable prices. That's what keeps me coming to Papa Nick's, usually once a week (more often in the summer). And I have to drive over the mountain from Fayston to do so. I love this place--Voula does a fantastic job. I just wish they could some day go back to having their Greek Nights on Thursdays. (They do have occasional Greek entrees but it's just not as predictable as it was before the pandemic. Then again, nothing is...) Highly recommended!“

“Good service, quick. Had a drink while I waited and food was ready by the time I was done. Longhorn so far has been a pleasure at all locations I've been to, from LI, to Newburgh, to VT. solid steak for the price. Personally think it's a significantly better choice than the likes of Texas Roadhouse, Outback, etc. Although Atmosphere has never been anything to call home about. Would recommend“

“I’m in town briefly while my dog is having surgery at a specialty center. I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before picking him up to go home. I mistakenly stopped at a different cafe down the road, was greeted by staff not wearing masks and arguing with each other. I paid for my food because I was caught off guard and didn’t eat it. Found Williston Coffee Shop and immediately felt like I was in the right place. Staff was friendly and polite, wearing masks and keeping customers safe. Food was so amazing and fresh, and coffee was awesome! I’m so glad the first place didn’t work out, because my tomato basil egg sandwich was incredible. I know it’s hard right now, but you guys are doing a great job keeping everyone safe with your extra protocols, and it shows. If I come back to town I will come back, and anyone that visits the veterinary practice will get a referral to your coffee shop from me!“

“Delicious salad, shrimp scampi and ahi tuna avocado toast!“

“Simply the best sandwich place around. The bread is absolutely delicious and is what pushes their sandwiches to a 10/10 instead of just an 8 or 9. Everything else is cooked and made perfectly; excellent portions and reasonably priced. Service is fast and tireless, they work hard and it shows. I don’t often tip for pickup service, but I always will here, and at 20%+. Highly, highly recommend Paisley Hippo.“

“Restraunt is in a beautiful historic building , amazing food with a menu that is always adding items. Employees that have been there for years and years getting better at there craft. I can’t think of a better place to eat in the area.“

“🥰Fantastic food and the best server in years. Thank you Leah.“

“Food was horrible, 6 empty bins. When we complained they said they were getting ready to close because of weather so they stopped cooking. I asked why we are being charged full price she responded, "You lucky we open" No! you're lucky I paid the bogus bill of 52.00 for lunch for 2. Oh, they now add on 18% gratuity automatically, you have no say about it.“

“this was an excellent experience!!! a little pricey at least for me but it was sooo worth it!!! food was absolutely excellent, service was excellent as well. and the atmosphere was 100% better than the over stimulating can’t hear yourself think downtown bars. on top of all that we weren’t worried about our vehicle getting stolen lol😉😉 thoroughly enjoyed 😁😁😁❤️“

“We love the Essex and come here every time we travel to VT. The staff are responsive and friendly, the rooms are clean, cozy, and comfy. The one warning we would give is to say that the price that you book for is nowhere near what you get charged for at checkout. There are extra add on charges on the bill that “tax” your imagination. Just be sure to ask up front.“

“Usually have a great time there. Our first bartender Matt was fantastic. Very personable and made us feel welcome. The second one, Brendan not so much. He definitely did not have the right attitude for the hospitality business. Maybe he was just having a bad day?“

“Great service. Drinks always full.“

“We were a party of 6. High table near the bar. A Saturday night. We had a great time and were never rushed.
Our food was good and quick. Our drinks were the same.
I had fish tacos, which were great! 3 came in the order. I ordered onion rings with them because I was expecting less than I got. I didn't need the onion rings.
We got there @ 5:30 and stayed for 3 hours. Again, I never felt rushed to exit the joint. Our server even said we could spend the night if we wanted. Rare for a busy place on a Saturday night.
Parking was limited behind the building. But, as I typed, we got there early, so no trouble finding parking.
I would go back.“

“absolutely the best service from Lisa in Williston Vermont I've ever had . Thank you Lisa . The food is always spot on . .Cant ask for a better place to sit and watch the game and have a drink . 💞 Thank you 💞“
