    Lobster shrimp fish combo
    James S.

    Ate here for lunch around 1pm. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The employees were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Food is brought to your table. I ordered the lobster bites, shrimp and fish combo. Price was very fair for portions. All the seafood was cooked well and fresh. The fries were not very hot and somewhat chewy as if a little old? Overall nice experience and I will return.

    1st time trying Captain D's. Been living in Richmond 14 years and had to see what the hype was about. I had 2 pieces of fried fish (one spicy and one regular) w/ fried shrimp and 2 sides and some hush puppies too. The fried fish was piping hot and crispy. I recommend eating inside or in the car after the drive-thru unless you live close. To my surprise, they offer several different side items. I got a loaded baked potato and green beans to balance things out. Service was friendly and quick at this location. Looking forward to trying more of their menu items in the future.

    I recently ordered a Catfish dinner from this restaurant. I understand that we are living in trying times, and everyone is battling COVID and other life challenges. But to order dinner and pay over $10 for2 whole pieces of catfish fillet and receive what looks like catfish nuggets is ridiculous. Sadly, I used Door Dash and wouldn't have accepted this meal. I will never purchase food from this place again.

    Utilized the drive through. There was a bit of a line but I was impressed to see it was moving along pretty well. From time of order until we received it was only a few minutes. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was hot despite my 15 minute drive back home. I am genuinely impressed with this location. More often than not fast food restaurants are really bad but this Captain D's should be the standard. Good and fast food, delivered correctly and efficiently. Thank you!

    Yummmm

    Classic Giant Fish Is A Large Sandwich But Seasoning Is Just Ok...Plus, The Spicy Version Isn't Really Spicy At All To Me.

    I love getting the platters, fish here is so tasty and not on the salty side.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Riverside Tavern on Forest Hill Avenue…read more I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus to go for $23.00. When I opened the container, I was shocked to find that the salmon portion was barely larger than my finger. It looked more like a sample than an entrée. I have attached photos because words alone don't adequately capture how small it was. What makes this even more frustrating is that I have ordered this exact meal before while dining in with my family, and the salmon portion I received then was easily three times larger. So this isn't a case of unrealistic expectations--I know what this dish normally looks like. I called the restaurant to express my concern, hoping they would make it right. Instead, the bartender responded with, "The portions are cut how they are cut," as if that somehow justified charging full price for such a tiny piece of fish. When I asked to speak with the owner, I was told, "You won't be talking to the owner. I'll just give him your information." There was no apology, no offer to replace the meal, no effort to address my concern--just complete indifference. If portions have been reduced, customers should be informed before paying premium prices. If this was simply an inconsistent serving, then quality control is seriously lacking. Either way, charging $23 for what amounts to a nugget of salmon is unacceptable. I used to enjoy Riverside Tavern and specifically ordered this meal because I had a good experience previously. Unfortunately, this visit--and especially the way my complaint was handled--has left me questioning whether I'll be back.

    A hidden gem near Hull St and Courthouse that was highly recommended from some of my local foodies…read moreand I am so glad I was able to make the trip! The hours online are not accurate (give them a call) so we technically got there when they were preparing to close for the day but the super sweet waitress went to check if they could still accommodate our to go order and they did! So I got two (one for my mama) liver and onion meals (5/5 very tender) both with mashed potatoes (2.9/5, gave box) one with cabbage (4/5) and the other with green beans (3.9/5). Mimi ordered the fried pork chop (4.5/5, thin cut but seasoned and fried well)meal with mashed potatoes (2.9/5) and collard greens (a bit dry...leave the "pot liquor" thats where the flavor resides, lol). The family vibes all through out the venue made us feel welcomed and the love shown to the staff by the patrons sealed the deal! If you want a good home cooked meal head over #southerntastediner!

Several servers came over right away to ask our drink orders and give us menus. My husband ordered the country fried steak with gravy and eggs, and I got the chicken and waffles and a side of grits. Everything was very tasty. This might seem like a small thing, but the iced tea was fresh brewed and very good. I cannot stand iced tea that comes out of a machine or that is powdered. This was clearly fresh and they served it in big mason jars. This is one of my key things with a restaurant. If they don't have freshly brewed tea, I really don't enjoy my meal as much. I was thankful that this place had great tea. The server checked on us throughout the meal. We would definitely go back again.

The staff were polite, but we had to ask several times to get items we were missing or things we wanted extras of. They checked in on us a fair number of times, but they still forgot to return to give us what we had asked for. By the time we were ready to leave, we still haven't gotten our dressings or our condiments. I also had asked for my burger to be well done, but I got a burger with quite a bit of pink in it. I didn't want to ask for it to be placed back on the grill because I didn't really want to wait longer for my food. Although I wanted my burger to be well done and I didn't get it that way, it was still pretty good. The fries though, I think was the best part of it. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crunchy! I also ordered a coke. Just a heads up, they don't do free refills on the sodas, so each cup is $4. My party also ordered salmon l'orange and a romano salad with salmon. My friends really enjoyed their main dishes, but we did ask for extra dressing. The restaurant is decorated in a boho-style vibe, and it was cute. We found the lighting on the side dining area to be a little bit too dim once the sun went down, but I do think it would've been perfect for a date night vibe. Overall, we had an okay experience.

The restaurant was quite busy, but we were seated on the patio quickly. That evening, they had a pasta al a vodka special but I still got the lamb burger with fries. We also got the pork bowl, which was HUGE and the table favorite. The bowl had rice, beans, pineapple, shredded pork, tomatoes and pickled onions. I love the amount of food and all the toppings. It was kind of elevated chipotle! We finished the evening with coconut cream pie and a couple more Coors lights. The coconut cream pie was fluffy and slightly sweet. The only thing is the crust was a bit hard, but it was still very yummy!

    This was our first visit to Charred and will quickly say we had a nice meal. Now I will say that…read moreI've round up my overall star rating. If I could I would have given it 4 1/2 stars, because it was good but not great but definitely well enough not to drop it to a 4. Let's start with the location: very nice and everything seems real clean and cared for. Even the men's room was decent at 6:00 pm at night. Now our server: Sidney was very attentive to us. She took very good care of us during our stay. Now the meal: Again it was good. The wifey had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. She tells me the sauce had a nice flavor but the chicken really had no flavor. Certainly not a Blackened flavor you would expect. The chicken itself was good and tender. As for me I had Shrimp and Grits. It also was good. It had onions and peppers in it and again the flavor of the onions and peppers just want there. Who knows. We also had the Brick Oven Brie. There was a really nice amount of Brie. So much that the toasted bread ran out way before the Brie. So as I said this was a good place and meal despite my small hits in this review. I firmly recommend this place because I do expect you to have a nice meal. Ps. To the owners: your link to your website doesn't work via Yelp. To potential customers: you will have to go your search engine and find the Charred site.
