    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!

    Listen ... I'm from up north and this is my go to deli in the RVA area. Yes they are in short pump and my only complaint is that they close around 2:30 everyday! The absolutely best Rueben I've ever had. The pastrami is always so fresh and the best quality I've tasted in this area. I have never dined in but every time I go they are pretty busy. You can't say anything bad about Boychiks to me! The staff are always very very kind and friendly and that's another thing that keeps me coming back. Run don't walk if you are looking for a good breakfast or sandwich.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel and Home Fries

    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.

    6:30 AM opens

    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

    Stopped by on Saturday afternoon and faced a small line, with an even bigger one forming behind me. Just wanted to pick up some pastrami. Although they were slammed, the two folks I spoke with were welcoming and helpful. The pastrami was Boar's Head and was cold, which is why only four stars. As for the price, it was a little lower in cost to the same brand found in grocery stores.

They have a very limited menu at lunch so you have a few appetizers to choose from, a few salads and sandwiches and burgers, so straight up American food. It does skew southern with crab cake sandwich, pimento cheese and fried chicken. For an appetizer we decided to try the wings. They were good and came with ranch drizzled over the wings. For entrees my husband got their farm & oak burger with Cole slaw and I got their wedge salad with fried chicken. Both were good. The salad was nice and cold and crisp, which was appreciated on such a hot day. It did have too much dressing so next time I might ask for less dressing or have it on the side. I enjoyed the food, service was good and it is a pretty restaurant. I'll probably come back for supper some time to try some of their more in-depth meals.
