    After all these years, still one of the best brunch places in the west end. Always busy on weekends but the queue moves quickly. The staff is super friendly and efficient and responsive. The food is always spot-on. I have had several opportunities to go in on weekdays as well. The general vibe is slower, though the food comes out fast. Always several clusters of retirees and several pairs of business folks talking in hushed tones. On these days, even if you haven't been in in months they make you feel like a regular. This is Yelp, so I need to recommend a few things to order. Their chef salad is HUGE. The club sandwich is a great offering. And the one you'll skip over but shouldn't is the Adkins Special, which is 3 eggs and 2 meats (or 2x one meat) -- no bread, no fruit, no potatoes. Sometimes you just need to go all proteins! Anyway, all of these are great options. Also, their "numbered" deli sandwiches are all good choices. We remain regulars. Although I have only checked in about 40 times we are there at least twice a month. If you see me come say hi!

    Walking into Boychik's Deli feels like stepping back in time. It's an old-school, cozy, very much like a classic 1970s deli. It has been around since 1990, and it shows in the atmosphere and the crowd of regulars who clearly love it. Parking was easy in the strip mall, and even near closing there was only about a five-minute wait. Our waitress was kind and helpful, especially since it was our first visit, which made things easy. I had the Everything Bagel with cream cheese, scrambled eggs, and home fries. The eggs were cooked perfectly fluffy, and the potatoes tasted good but were on the softer side...I would have liked them crispier. The French toast was excellent, soft with those little crispy edges, and the coffee hit the spot. One small thing: I had asked for bacon on the side since I am a vegetarian, but it ended up on the plate. Not a huge deal, but I do think more attentiveness would help, especially for people who don't want their food to touch. Prices are a little high for the overall value, but I understand why people keep coming back. Between the nostalgic vibe, the friendly service, and the solid breakfast, Boychik's is worth a visit. I would go back.

    Awesome old school deli! Went on my mom's recommendation & mama knows best! We split the hot pastrami & tuna melt with coleslaw & pasta salad. Every bite was delicious! On top of that, vibes here were great. Everyone was so friendly, our server included! Will definitely be back!

    Boychik's is the bomb! Tradition Jewish food meets deli meets diner all in one location. The food was so good and our service was so amazing we almost forgot to take pics. 100/10 recommend. We can't wait to go back and try more deliciousness.

    Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel and Home Fries
    Noah L.

    This is my 5th or so time going to Boychik's and it never disappoints. Tried something new today, at least for me: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on an everything bagel and it was delicious. Our server coaxed us into flourless chocolate cake which was amazing. This place has become a staple every time I'm in Richmond.

    I was close to Shortpump and was looking for a really good breakfast cafe that I could get a nice serving of bacon and eggs which was literally what I craved at the time hahaha! I found Boychik's on Yelp and they had pretty good reviews. Upon walking in the cafe atmosphere is really cozy and gives a relaxed cafe vibe with unique decor. Uniquely on the menu I was able to order The Adkins Special which is literally eggs and bacon in my case, but you can get sausage or any choice of meat and eggs made any way you want. It was very filling and you really get a nice portion. I got mines to go since I was on my way into work, I called it in and didn't wait long at all. I'm happy I found a great breakfast cafe with fresh breakfast on the go. Looking forward to trying the lunch options one afternoon, so far very impressed!

    1. Club Sandwich Combo
    Donna O.

    They were open till 130 four-day, being Xmas Eve, and I'm glad we thought to come in. I was surprised by how many tables and booths were open. Our server was super nice, everyone was very festive. We got our drinks quickly and our food quick as well. I will say I wish my club had a bit more mayo, since it was piled high with turkey (yum!) so it was a little dry, but since this is the only time that's happened and I've eaten here a few times, I'm not too upset. The fruit was fresh and delish, and everyone in my party enjoyed our meal. I'll definitely be back, love this place.

    Their Nova Salmon was the best I've had in years! The bagel was ok, but the salmon was spectacularly smooth and subtle in flavor. Service was great. I enjoyed this spot for a quick breakfast first thing in the morning. Please note that they open at 6:30 AM everyday. It was post as 6:00 on Yelp and I sent in a correction. Mentioned it to the manager and he said that they've been trying to get it change on Yelp for a long time.

    Grilled Reuben(pastrami) Sandwich
    Menghai T.

    I came here for lunch and got the grilled Reuben with pastrami($13)and fries(+$1). Sandwich came out in about 10 minutes. The fries were unsalted and tasted quite average. The highlight was definitely the grilled Reuben. The meat was warm and super savory! It matched very well with the sauce and kraut. The bread was toasted and buttered. Staff was nice even though it was busy during the lunch rush. Overall a phenomenal deli with great sandwiches at a fair price! I would definitely check them out! Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.7 Overall: 7.7/10

    Shopping trip to Richmond and didn't want to miss the opportunity for a great breakfast at this staple that has been open since 1990! Classic deli/diner. Very busy, but got seated quickly. Waitress was a little saucy, but given how busy they were, no problem at all. We got breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, sausage gravy, oatmeal and omelets - all were very good! Biscuits were so light, fluffy and tasty! Everything made to order and perfect temp. Good coffee and OJ! Prices are very reasonable. Pay at the counter on the way out. It is a little loud, so if you have family or kids with noise issues, be aware, but not so loud you can't have a good conversation. Recommend and will definitely go back!! #deitzeatz #yelpcville #yummo

    Hi, I'm so excited to see that you have chopped liver! Do you only sell it as part of a sandwich platter, or do you also sell it by the pint, cup, pound, etc.?

    Hi Linda! So we make our chopped liver almost everyday in house. We do offer for sale by the pound. If anymore than 3lbs, we ask for a days notice! Please introduce… Read more

    A cute little vintage breakfast spot . It's like eating at your aunties house . very generous with…read morethe sweet tea, biscuit and gravy tasted amazing . Reminds me of my mother in laws cooking . Southern, authentic, delish! I got Ma's little mans breakfast and it was not a regret. Give it a shot .

    I stopped at Pop's Dogs & Ma's Burgers for lunch a few weeks ago when I was heading into Richmond…read morefor work. It's a retro dive serving up American classics. Inside is the kitchen, a counter, and about 8 barstools. (Most people who came in while I was seated took their food to go.) It's a retro dive - with tons of tchotchkes around on the counter. The service was great - the cook and waiter and right in front of you while you sit, and they were really friendly, saying hello to everyone who came in and chatting with people who were feeling chatty, too. I had to try their "World Famous Bolgona Burger," because a good bologna sandwich is a classic that (in my experience) isn't so easy to find these days. Their version was good, and I enjoyed it the way it came with grilled onions and spicy mustard. The fries were better than average, too! But if bologna sandwiches aren't your thing, they have a lot more on the menu (it's a big menu for such a little place) - burgers, dogs, breakfast, subs... I was charmed by it and really enjoyed my retro Americana lunch!
