One of the best spots in downtown Richmond (Scott's addition area) for a small group to enjoy a great meal in a cozy setting! I finished off the salmon cake sandwich with french fries; as it was very delicious and filling. The hostess and wait staff were helpful and friendly during the whole experience.

Was passing through Richmond, and a lot of my friends recommended LUNCH.SUPPER! for brunch. My…read morepartner and I were seated promptly. Only street parking is available, but it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. The atmosphere: Very rustic vibe with some farmhouse-style decor. They have table, high-top, bar, and patio seating available. The food: I opted for the Chicken and Waffles with a side of cheese grits. I chose to make it hot for more spice. It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

Stopped by 821 Cafe with my family for brunch and had a great experience overall. The service…read morereally stood out, our waitress was friendly, attentive, and very helpful when it came to answering questions and helping us decide what to order. We all ordered hot chocolate, which was surprisingly good. I went with the french toast, eggs, and turkey sausage, everything was flavorful and well prepared. I also had a chance to try a few other dishes at the table, and everything I tasted was good. One thing I really appreciated is the variety on the menu. They offer a good amount of options, including vegan choices. My dad is vegan, so it's always a plus finding a brunch spot where we can go when he comes to visit. The restaurant itself is clean, colorful, and has a fun, welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a casual brunch with family or friends. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area, just a heads up, parking is not meter-based. You'll need to pay online, so plan accordingly.

Sitting at the bar, we were served immediately and were able to order food. If you are lucky enough, you will get to meet local legend, musicIan Jimmy Catlett, where you can even enjoy a drink from the menu "What Jimmy Drinks". Luke was a very attentive bartender, server and greeter. With good insight into what is what on the menu and behind the bar. We even got to meet Sara Beth herself (sorry Sarah if I used the wrong one) the SB behind the name! If you don't lead with "Glitter on the Mattress" you are missing out! The atmosphere was welcoming, inviting and full of nostalgic decor.

The bartender Luke was on his game and got me water and coffee quickly there after. The place was busy but everything seemed to work like a well oiled machine. The house coffee is solid and they did have a cold coffee option. The spicy bloody mary with the bacon was one of my favorites - definitely a more homemade vibe which was what I prefer. I also got their current jello shot (lemon and lavender) which was refreshing and big for $3. The menu had a bunch of items that caught my eye - breakfast burrito, pancake stacks, eggs benedict, etc. I went with the breakfast burrito with a side of sweet potato has. The burrito was great - filling but not super large, though I would have loved a tiny bit more jalapenos personally. Even without a meat, it was tasty and well balanced, especially with the side sriracha sour cream. I definitely need to come back to try the chicken salad or grilled cheese or some pancakes because everything looked fantastic. Service was quick, food was great, prices were solid. They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and friendly folks working. I'll definitely be back.

Inside 8.5/10: The inside has this chill and calming feeling but the booths feel a little bit small and tight but overtime I didn't mind. Food 10/10: And here we go. For the appetizer I ordered Pizza Cheese Fries and they were delicious and my Calzone was cooked amazingly well and cheesy. From my previous visits I ordered a Steak Burrito, Fried Chicken Club, Italian Sausage Sub and a Country Fried Steak with Eggs and 2 pancakes. Every single item was cooked to crispy and savory perfection. Overall, this is the perfect place for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or Dinner and I highly recommend. 9.5/10

We were hungry and in the area and decided to come check them out. We had to pay to park because it…read morewas street parking with a you better park and pay sign. Once inside, the place is very narrow, but it was packed. Looked like a local favorite. We sat at the end towards the right. They had a cozy little area with a few tables. Just be aware that the music speaker is in that room. Our waitress was very nice. She took our orders right away: 2 Reuben sandwiches. One with fries and the other with coleslaw and 2 coffees and a side of thousand island dressing. Food came out quick and the sandwiches had great crunch and flavor. Only thing is the taxes on the food are crazy. Other than that, would love to return.

The food here was really good. My kiddo specifically asked for cheese fries for his birthday lunch,…read moreso after asking for recommendations on Facebook, this place seemed like the best choice. It can get a little pricy, especially when you want to try all of the things, but the portions were plentiful and tasted delicious. We started with the cheese stick roulette, where they apparently prep a bunch of different cheeses for cheese sticks earlier in the week, and then just randomly grab six to deep fry when you order it. You have no idea what it is, they have no idea what it is. Pretty fun and delicious and we love cheese, so total win. We ended up cutting them in half just to check what they were before eating because the kids do not like anything remotely spicy and pepper jack is one of the cheeses, so we just had to verify it wasn't that so they could eat it and hubs and I ate those ones instead. I thought the tomato coulis it was served with was stellar, and the fruity jam was also amazing. I could not decide which one was better for dipping the cheesesticks in, and I ended up keeping both condiments when the cheesesticks were gone so I could dip my fries in them. A fantastic choice, they were both great with the fries. Which I might add, are AWESOME! They are scoopable fries. So... like a cross between potato skins and potato wedges. They were both crispy and soft and very unique and so worth the trip. They also use the cheese dip instead of just shredded cheese, so it stays creamy and gooey. All of the burgers sounded awesome and it took us a very long time to decide what we wanted (I had been looking at the menu days in advance to make sure I could decide) and we opted for the Southern Gentleman (pimento cheese, hot honey and fried chicken) and the PBJ and I can't decide which one I liked more. They were both completely different and completely delicious. If I had to make a recommendation... I'd say bring a friend, order one of each and split them like hubs and I did. Choices are for suckers. Kiddos opted for the cheese fries that he came for (which come with bacon, btw) and the kiddos cheeseburger meal, and they both loved them. The service was great too, even when this place was pretty darn crowded on a weekday lunch hour. Also, don't be fooled by the storefront driving by, this restaurant is waaaaaaaay bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. There was plenty of seating. The music was a touch too loud, but they also had some yummy sounding specialty drinks, as well as a bunch of local beers. My kids have been asking to come back pretty much since we left the restaurant.

Stopped by on Thursday for a late lunch with a bunch of coworkers after hearing about their peanut…read morebutter and jelly cheese burger. Upon arrival, it was quite busy but the location still had plenty of seating. When we were seated, we noticed it was only one waitress waiting tables too. She was able to get us our drinks and orders pretty quickly despite working solo. I was the adventurous one in our group and ordered the pb and j cheese burger. Upon initial bite, it really tasted like a really well constructed burger. It was a double patty burger with white cheese. You don't really taste the jam. As you're chewing, the peanut butter comes out and it really makes the bite more creamy and definitely tastes of peanut butter. Overall, I would recommend fat boys for sure. Everyone thought the food tasted great and the portions were big. Definitely worth the trip!

I was unfortunately very uncomfortable with my experience, as I discovered a significant amount of…read morehair in my sandwich. At that point, I was quite disturbed. A staff member who was seated nearby asked how my sandwich was, and I informed him of the issue. The bartender kindly refunded my meal, which I truly appreciated, especially since I did not request it. I want to emphasize that I hesitated to share this because the food is otherwise absolutely delicious. However, I feel it is important to bring this to your attention to help prevent similar situations for others. It was a very unpleasant and unsettling experience, and I would not want anyone else to encounter the same. I kindly ask that you please ensure employees follow proper food safety practices, such as keeping hair secured while preparing food. Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration.

Did 1 lap and came back which took 5 min at best. Never got a text saying our table was ready. When we got back from our 1 lap around the block, there were multiple tables available, still no text saying our table was ready. There were 2 seats available at the bar, which in any other restaurant is FCFS, so we took a seat. The hostess came up to us and said that the bar was already requested by 2 other guest who were waiting and asked us to move to a table. We moved to a table where it took us over 10 min to get our drink order in. Drinks did not come right out, took another 10 min to get a sweet tea. It was 2pm and they were not slammed busy during this time. Will prob take our business elsewhere next time. Did not feel welcomed by any means. This was not our first time here.
