Strawberry basil lemonade
Kristen T.

I took a solo day trip to Richmond to visit the Holocaust Museum and was told I should eat somewhere in Cary town. Burger Bach was one of the top rated places on Trip Advisor. When I came in, I was greeted by the host that was super nice. I decided to sit inside and was offered a booth or the bar; I chose a booth. They also offer outside seating but since it was a nice, fall day, it was super crowded. I ordered the strawberry basil lemonade and the north lamb burger with a small dry. The lemonade was not as good as I thought it would be. I am honestly not sure it was real lemonade. It tasted like sour from the bar with strawberry puree and basil. My server asked did I want my burger pink or no pink. I chose pink thinking I'd get medium/medium well. In some spots it almost seemed raw. I didn't finish the burger. I couldn't get past how mushy it seemed because it was so pink. I did enjoy the flavors of the tatziki and garlic aioli. Definitely had potential to be a great burger had it been cooked properly. The Salad that comes with the burgers was good. It's just greens but it has a nice dressing! Their fresh cut fries were amazing. I had those along with their house made manuka honey mustard which was also really good! While I had trouble with the burgers, I'd try this place again to give it another chance! It's a friendly atmosphere with good music, and it is fairly priced!

Having driven past this place enough times, I felt like I owed it to myself and the Carytown Gods to finally give it a shot. Unfortunately I wasn't terribly impressed - but understand why other people really enjoy it, so don't let my review get you down! My burger was just okay - perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing for my taste buds, but I almost expected a bit more pop from the toppings/aoili to blend in with the burger. Was a bit let down by the side salad as well, just some lettuce and dressing. I was there alone at the bar and the place was fairly empty so I often felt like the bartender was hovering over/watching me. Anyways... maybe just not my favorite, but has some unique flavor and topping combos for all those burger-loving bros out there, so if this is your place, I say more power to you :)

Joined on New Years for lunch after the Cone Parade in Carytown. Service is excellent.

The service was a little slow, but she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We had the auklander burger and a large fry with tzatziki sauce and garlic pesto aioli. The burger was fantastic!! It was cooked perfectly and very flavorful and juicy. The sauces were both delicious. The fries were good but wish they had been crispier. It's a great spot for a quick lunch.

Large Fries

I'll be honest and say this place wasn't my first choice. I wanted to Carytown but they were closed. Was in the mood for a burger and they had plant based so gave it a shot. The staff was super nice. We were seated quickly. I got a lemon drop martini and it was okay ( I am super picky about my lemon drops lol). The food was delicious! We got a bunch of fries too enough to share between two people. We got a couple of dipping sauces and they were delicious as well. The bathroom was nice and clean. There was plenty of space in the restaurant. I will most definitely eat here again.

Make your own burger & fries with garlic aioli
Kate K.

Love this place, sad the others have closed. They have a parking lot for easy parking rather than the street. I always do a make your own burger & it's always great. Their fries and garlic aioli are why I come though. All the servers are great, I often am served by Valerie who is friendly & speedy. I've also had their spinach and their broccoli sides and liked them. The spinach artichoke dip is good too

South Lamb Burger
Emmaly N.

We came in with a reservation and waited ~30 minutes to get our order taken. I ordered the South Lamb burger, which was good. We also got their fries, which were perfectly crispy and fluffy. I'm not sure if it was an off-day but the service was alright, it felt like our party had to wait to longer than expected to flag down our waiter.

North Lamb Burger and side salad
Diane H.

The service was wonderful! Our waiter was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He really made the experience so awesome. The ambiance is typical for a laid back burger place. The food, however, was not the best or worst. It was average. All burgers come with a side salad, which is fine. However, the side salad is not filling at all, but it was delicious. To get fries is extra, which is disappointing. My burger was okay and average. My parents got the burger with lamb and it looked like the lamb patty is not fresh - comes frozen in a box and you heat up on the grill. Honestly, for the price it was a little disappointing. Not sure if I'll be back in the future.

Very good burgers, and the addition of the side salad is a plus. The fries are great snd the variety of sauce options are a winner.

Should we anticipate a long wait for dinner here on Saturday evening?

Depends on the location, at the one in Carytown, they are fast and personable, at the one in Short Pump they are over staffed and think someone else is already taking care of you, the new one in Midlothian, they are tethered to a software…

Best place to get fresh, succulent deep fried oysters in a flash!…read more I treat myself to their dinner plate with bettered fried okra as a side. It's a bit of an investment, but the freshness and food quality is excellent. The wait staff and window folks are courteous and very competent. I've never been disappointed. I wholeheartedly recommend Sugar's Crab Shack for a delicious meal you'll be sure to remember fondly!

Today my wife wanted to get some fish and I was already down with the plan. We went to our spot…read moreSugar's and we were the first in line and had a short wait no more than 20 minutes since they started serving people. I ordered the just fish that comes with ten (10) pieces. Yes count them 1, 2,3,...10. Just like the Count on Sesame Street. Everyone is locked on right. I paid the money and the guy at the counter charged me for how many? Ten (10) fish pieces. After my short wait, my order was ready. The guy at the window showed me the fish looking golden brown and delicious. Hot piping hot. I said they looked good and ready for liftoff. Got to the car and my wife and I were happy at the time. After several hours and other stops we made it home. We live in Baltimore Md. A short 4 hour ride away. When my wife had unpacked the food and she asked me did I eat any fish? I said No? If I had she would have killed me before the plate got cold. She said that then they (Sugar's) did not give us piece number 10. The Boss was not happy and neither was I. Now I don't mind paying for delicious food and will do again. What I do mind is paying for fish that does not appear on my plate. I felt RIPPED OFF! If someone in the back of the house can't count to ten (10) and your employing someone who doesn't know how to count to 10, I am wondering what else is going on in the back of the house. Advise 1) Moving forward I will ask them to count them before accepting the finished product 2) Don't buy the Onion Rings. My wife does not care for them and she is an Onion ring person. Let's do this again but I'm bring the Count with me and the number 10 JUST TO MAKE SURE WERE CLEAR!

Incredible food. Great vibe. Live music was such a treat. Best piña colada I've ever had…read more Crème brûlée was a bit curd-y but did not overshadow the great vibe, great service, and freshness of the food. It was too hot to sit on the patio overlooking the river but I'd imagine that would be spectacular on a lovely day.

Could have been a great experience... until it wasn't. The appetizers were actually really good--we…read morehad the garlic shrimp and calamari and enjoyed both. The ambiance was great too, so we were off to a good start. Then my entrée came out with the chicken completely burnt and dry. I asked if they could just replace it with a salmon filet à la carte. Over 20 minutes later, still no salmon, while my rice and vegetables sat there getting cold. At that point I just canceled it. It really shouldn't take 20+ minutes to fire a piece of salmon, especially when it's replacing an entrée that came out like this. What really disappointed me was that I was still charged for the dry a** chicken. I'm usually pretty understanding when something goes wrong with a meal--it happens--but how management handles it makes all the difference. At the very least, the entrée should have been taken off the bill. Great ambiance and the appetizers were solid, but management could have done a much better job making the situation right. Unfortunately, it left a bad impression after what could have been a really nice experience.

if you are going to read any of these dumb yelp review in full, this is the one…read more i once read an article describing the talent of the head chef's ability here to "cram so much bold flavor into a tiny dish". in general, i usually dread small plate restaurants expecting to pay a large bill and leave hungry. this was the exception. these were the most unique, creative, high end, flavorful, dishes i have ever had. seriously. the absolute best BITES of my ENTIRE life. i swear to god dormant tastebuds and flavors i didn't even know existed were provided here. the chef here draws spanish inspiration into each dish, and i was in there feeling like the food critic from ratatouille the way familiar flavors blended in effortlessly with extravagant flairs. and don't get me started on the presentation !!! everything was gorgeous. this restaurant was named #3 out of 100 in the city, and i honestly think it should be #1. i may be biased since my boyfriend works at a sister restaurant owned by the same guy, but this is definitely the favorite sibling for me. unreal how fresh, flavorful, and carefully crafted everything was. so so so so good. if you come to richmond, make this the top priority to visit. that being said, if you can't handle intense, innovative flavors, this isn't the place for you. also, go during happy hour

Hats off to the staff at Lillian who continue to be wonderful, but now that they have scrapped…read moretheir dollar oyster lunch specials, the food has absolutely nothing to offer. Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.

We were in Richmond on a Sunday evening and traveling with our four legged friend. There were…read moreseveral options for outside dining and the menu suggested this was a good place to start. Soon after we. Ordered the octopus and mussel appetizers a storm came in and the rain fell pretty hard. Our choices were to run back to the hotel or stay and dine huddled under an umbrella. Being a little wet with beverages and good food seemed the better option so we ordered more food. The octopus was great. I have tried it prepared many ways and here it was both tender and flavorful, really done well. Shrimp cocktail is usually pretty basic, but often the simplest dishes demonstrate the most skill. This is truly one of the best I have ever had. The shrimp were plump and flavorful. Their cooking stopped at just the right time leaving a slight bit of translucent hue, but still cooked through. Very nicely done. The salad with home ranch was dressed nicely and the dressing was light. The scallops were cooked well and perhaps my only criticism is that the corn purée was better in concept than execution. I can't say enough about the staff. We were two people on a Sunday night crazy enough to dine in a downpour. The staff never made us feel like they wanted to punch out, embraced us being outside and were creative in waiting on us with umbrellas to keep the food from getting wet. It would have been understandable for them to limit the trips to check on us, but they persevered and made us feel welcome. If you are in the area, highly recommended stopping by, rain or shine, and sampling their menu. Nicely done.

The food here was amazing! The grilled octopus was so tender and the risotto was delicious. I…read morewould've liked a touch more lemon zest in the gremolata though. The pan seared fish was moist, but the grits it came with were not crispy. The whole fish was also moist and tender, but the exterior could be a bit over-charred for some. The blueberry upside down cake was great. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, I would definitely come again!
