Forest was great! Food was amazing! He also let us try some of their homemade hot sauces *not pictured* We also had a couple lattes that were delicious. We were visiting from out of town but would definitely go back!

1/2 Grandma Waffle
Shonicia L.

The waffle I had was perfect. The service was great. This was a small but comfortable place to enjoy breakfast with the hubby.

Well happened to be in the area after doing some medical stuff and was starving. Well after a little Yelp Reviewing found this little gem. First it's off to the side in this strip mall area. To the left of Golds Gym and next to a Miracle Ear place. So it took a second to find it via Waze. But don't be discouraged. It's a cute little joint. You go to the counter and get menus and then choose your own seats. Once you know what you want, go to the counter to order. However, food was brought to our table. Well as for the meal. There were several items I kinda wanted but both the wifey and I decided on the 1/2 Country Waffle. This had a 1/2 waffle covered with a couple scrambled eggs and sausage gravy. It was very good. Both the wifey and I really liked it. The waffle had a wonderful flavor as so did the sausage gravy. The combination really worked together. We also had two sweet teas. Considering the total came to about $26, before tip, I think the portions were just about right. As for the service: I think the two young ladies working did very well. Treated us wonderfully and the meals came to the table quickly. So give this joint a try - I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm sure we will be back next time in the area.

Unique find! Great food, fast service and a fun little place. I would recommend you give it a try.

Chicken Philly waffle
Stephanie B.

Met a girlfriend here for Saturday brunch about 2 weeks ago. The gps had a tough time pinpointing the location for us both but we found it nestled in the small strip to the left of Gold gym. We walked in grabbed some menus off the counter and were told to pick a spot to sit. So we did but when none of the young ladies behind the counter came over to take our order, we discovered you're to order at the counter. I got the chicken Philly waffle. My friend ordered the spicy chicken waffle. They arrived pretty quickly. My girlfriend enjoyed hers, said it was definitely on the spicy side bc of the sriracha and jalapeños. I enjoyed mine as well but did feel that the queso was very bland and I would have the dried onion topping removed if ordered again. Overall it was a nice chill spot to chat with a friend for a couple of hours. Would definitely want to try one of the sweeter options in the future.

Chicken waffle and Chorizo Egg & Cheese Breakfast Taco
Swapna M.

5 starts for food. 5 stars for value. 1 star for service. We got there around 12:15 pm and the tables were all taken. We were added to a waitlist, but then had to ask if we could sit at a table that opened up (we were the only ones on the waitlist). We sat for a bit before realizing we needed to order at the counter. We weren't told that when we chatted with the counter. I went in to order and stood by for 10 minutes while I was ignored by the staff who made mimosas and stood around. The tall white dude who seemed to be owner/manager effusively welcomed a group that walked in and asked if they'd been there before and ignored me the whole time. I finally was able to place an order. The food was pretty good and 3 breakfast tacos, a full chicken waffle and two coffees ran us $25 which felt like good value. Still unsure of whether we will return because of the service, or if we need to try a different location

Really solid option for breakfast/lunch. It has a bit of a coffee shop/diner vibe. The staff were all very friendly and helpful; one guy was obviously new and still in training, but the lady training him was on top of things. I ordered the Country Breakfast Waffle, my wife ordered two of the $2 breakfast tacos and a pineapple mimosa. The portions were huge, especially for the prices. The taste was good, but not hugely flavorful. Best bang for your buck is definitely those tacos! Bottom line? The prices are great, the service was fast and friendly, and while it didn't "wow" me, the food was pretty good. I don't know that I would go out of my way to visit again, but if I was in the area, I would definitely consider it!

Arboretum egg bowl
Genevese R.

Really enjoyed this place! Great prices and the food was delicious. Staff were very friendly. I loved the casual laid back vibe. You order at the register but they bring the food out to you. We fell in love with the scrambled egg bowls. There's an option to build your own. I chose the arboretum bowl and added chorizo. So yummy! We tried a plain waffle and the batter was really good. It wasn't too sweet or cakey. Overall, we loved it and will be coming back.

Iced Americano with cream
Cammy K.

I ordered the 1/2 Egg, Queso and Chorizo Waffle. I loved all the flavors and I'm a sucker for chorizo on any menu. I just wish that the waffle was a bit crispier before adding on the toppings since the waffle was soggy near the end. I also ordered an iced americano which was fantastic with and without added creamer. The food came quick and there was a fun vibe in the diner.

We had a great meal here! The Garden Sampler Board was a fun twist on a traditional charcuterie…read moreboard, and we really enjoyed getting to try a variety of everything. Our entrees were equally as tasty. I ordered the salmon and it was done well! My only personal preference would be to swap the green beans for the collards next time--the green beans just weren't cooked quite the way I prefer. That said, everything else was really enjoyable. Overall, a great meal at an equally great price. We were pleasantly surprised to walk out for under $65 without ordering drinks. Definitely felt like a great value, and we'd happily come back!

We ended up at Lunch Supper for brunch and I can see why people like it. The space is nice and…read moreclean, they have a great outdoor area, service was good and timely, and everything came out pretty fresh and hot. Food-wise, I'm a little torn. I got the Shorti Bowl, which is eggs and meat over cheese grits. It was good but I just wanted the cheese grits to commit a little harder to the cheese. The meat itself was good too, although it did feel a bit like a piece of meat had been plopped in the middle rather than everything really coming together as a dish. My husband got the sandwich with basically the same kind of meat, and somehow it was both a LOT of sandwich and not a lot of sandwich at the same time. It looked impressive as a Katz's-esque pile of meat, but once you actually got into it, it was mostly meat, bread and pickles. I kept expecting some sauce or another topping to show up and it just...didn't. Also a little unwieldy to eat, although I guess that's part of the territory when your sandwich is 70% meat. I think Lunch Supper sits in a funny middle ground between classic diner/brunch food and a more modern version of it. Nothing we had was bad, but for some of their more popular dishes I guess I expected a little more oomph if that makes sense (and yes I tried adding hot sauce). I'd still happily come back with friends, especially to sit outside. I just think I'd be coming back more for the vibes vs the food.

I was meeting a couple friends for brunch, and so we didn't all get there at the same time. The…read morehost was kind enough to still seat me at a table good for 3 while I wait for my friends even though they actually had quite a full house. So I really appreciated that. Our waiter was also actually quite patient (there was a bit of a wait until my friends got there; I'm sorry!). They had a dj the morning I was there, and I really liked the vibe. Their menu have more than enough options for brunch and drinks. I hope they extend their menu for more lunch items than brunch/breakfast items though! Once everyone was there, we finally ordered! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with the side of Lulu's house potatoes and a pomegranate mule. The pomegranate mule was quite strong, and I enjoyed it so much I ordered another one. LOL. The bacon cheeseburger was exactly as I requested. I have no notes. Overall, wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

To start the food here was relatively good…read more The Chicken & Biscuit was quite tasty itself - the eggs were cooked well tastes great- the potatoes... The potatoes are a no everyone agreed the potatoes are too seasoned had this unnecessary spice to them and lacks flavor at the same time - we were not fan, another table recommended we not get the potatoes or ask for them to be a more crispy to disguise the spice. Even took it home and crisped it more, long story short the potatoes are not going to be that lightly salted flavor you'd expect, just over seasoned. The sausage gravy tasted great. The biscuit is absolute perfection! (10 out of 10 for Biscuit and Chicken) (3 out of 10 for potatoes) (9 out of 10 for eggs) Unfortunately as far as the Red Velvet waffles they are most likely waffles with red food coloring - tasted nothing like red velvet. (4 out of 10 for the waffles) The French Toast was okay- the strawberry puree was delicious. (3 out of 10 for French toast) The music in here is a vibe loved the selection - kept my group grooving. Not sure if they are always packed but there was a festival going on outside. They squeezed 7 of us at a 6 top booth. It was tight but worked. Also this location is not very spacious keep that in mind. Our server started off pretty good until the end. She was very loud- louder than the music. No discretion- announced the details of a remaining balance of someone in our group , loudly. Left a sour taste in our mouth as this was not the most professional route to inform a guest of something of that nature. Then proceed to give an attitude upon being compensated .. The situation was however de-escalated. Maybe work on delivery of uncomfortable information.

Perly's was on my Richmond list and we picked up during a visit on a Friday. Around lunch so…read moreslightly busy-located downtown and street parking only didn't have any issues finding a spot right in front. We ordered sandwiches. House made Pastrami was delicious-go with the 1 lb (buy the pound) Pastrami sandwich -at least 2 if not 3 sandwiches in one. Corned Beef was also tasty and some of the best we've had. Latkas and Dill potato salad hit the spot but the Garlic Dill fries stole the show-one of a kind and not to be missed. For dessert, we saw they had Hamantaschen and got one of each-both very good with rich fruit spread topping. Service was engaged and patient (given our questions and recommendation requests) as our order was being placed. An extensive menu with everything from Beef tongue sandwich (Jewbano) to Chicken Liver as well Hot Dogs and Smoked Salmon and Whitefish. We wanted it all! Liked the atmosphere and decor with booth and bar stool seating. A must stop when visiting Richmond!

My daughter's friend, who is Jewish, had recommended it. We were told there was a 25 minute wait, and we were told we could hang out at the store next door. Just as we were done wandering, our table was called. I had the corned beef sandwich, toasted, and a side of potato salad. My wife had the chopped chicken liver appetizer and the potato latke appetizer. The food was very good and the service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely go again. They close at 3 pm and are NOT open for dinner.
