    Crab Cake Sandwich with Lemon Sauce and Sweet Potato Fries

    I and my daughter went for a birthday lunch back in December of 2025. We were seated promptly. It took our server a few minutes longer than typical to take our order, but the restaurant was understandably busy since it was December, and we weren't in any rush. Everything looked clean and the restaurant had a pleasant, casual atmosphere. We didn't have to wait too long for our order to come out to us. I had the Crab Cake Sandwich with lemon sauce and sweet potato fries. My daughter had the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and sweet potato fries. We did order non alcoholic drinks which were refilled. We both enjoyed our orders and they were very tasty, plus our server was attentive with checking back a few times which is something I always note when eating out at a better establishment. I would definitely recommend Cooper's Tavern & Taproom.

    It was a little tricky finding the location, but once we did, we enjoyed our brunch! There were lots of options and we were satisfied with them all- very flavorful and delicious. The vibe inside was nice and chill, good music and atmosphere. Staff was friendly, but a little slow- especially considering how little people were there.

    Food was so good! Highly recommend the chicken sandwich. Great bar as well and ambiance is good for late night dinner (dates, drinks, etc)

    Really pretty restaurant. Good music, a little loud. Burger was good steak was undercooked but overall good. Server was excellent. We wanted dessert but didn't see on menu. And they got busy so we got rushed out a little bit.

    I have been to Coopers Tavern on the many occasions I visit family around the Richmond area. I've had various plates fork the fish and chips, hamburger, breakfast and this time the Filet mignon . The steak was well cooked and was tender with an almost melt in your mouth texture . The mashed potatoes were well made and were full of flavor . The Demi glaze was good final touch on the steak and pushed the flavor to another level. I'd continue to recommend Coopers Tavern to whoever would look to try it.

    After a couple hours at the winery nearby, I zoomed in on Google maps to see which eateries were close by on the way back to Richmond. Cooper's Tavern was right around the corner, so I directed us there. It's definitely an interesting building. You wouldn't expect a restaurant to be there, let alone a "tavern." They do have a big "come grub" sign adjacent to the parking lot so you have some idea that you're in the right place. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server came over for our drinks. I ordered a riesling, which I realized I didn't necessarily need after coming from a winery, but it was good nonetheless. We started with the pickle fries, which were delivered in maybe two minutes flat. They're definitely of the frozen variety, but they were tasty regardless. I ordered the steak sandwich but modified it pretty substantially so that it was just cheese and mayo on it, instead of mustard, because that seemed like an odd combo. The flavor was good, but the steak was super chewy. I tried to warm up the other half the next day and couldn't chew it at all. The fries that came with it were good, as was the caesar salad I ordered as well. I also heard great things about the fish and chips, which are apparently a popular item there, according to our friendly and prompt server. The price was reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. I don't really foresee myself in the Quinton area often, but I'd recommend this spot as a viable option for a meal.

    This hidden gem was absolutely amazing. Food is all fresh and drinks are craft cocktails. We found it randomly and so glad we did. We will be back

    Well, back from the cruise and REALLY not feeling the whole "cook our own meal" after being so…read morespoiled, we decided to venture out and try something new. I was tasked with phoning in the reservation (thankfully the meal went better than that debacle)and since we were dining early it wasn't an issue. First of all, there are two places in the property; the Tavern and 5 Fields pizza and beer. We dined at the Tavern. GORGEOUS garden lining the old farmhouse! We went in and were seated inside right away. As it was almost 100 today it was ideal seating. The decore is well.... different. Where we sat was a truck grill from 1928, and there was more of a sports motiff. (If you go and sit in the same room, let me know if you can spot the crooked pic!) Once again, my curse at remembering names of the servers has hit again which is a real sham because she was beyond AWESOME. She was VERY patient with my extremely frustrating mum which was nice. We both got this truly genius idea of an appetizer to start; a veggie boat with a ranch style dressing. Omg it was perfect. Warm day, cruciferous veggies, ice cold drinks. Heaven. Next came the burgers, she got the Tavern burger, I got the Charles City burger. The Tavern has cheddar cheese and bacon, the Charles City has bree cheese and this creamy mojo ajo aoli along with fried shallots....there is probably more but all I know is that I feel like an idiot never having triple creme bree on a burger before. I have to take a moment to also inform you that they make the BEST Cosmo outside of NYC. Perfectly blended and chilled, and just strong enough to celebrate a Friday night. Yowza! One.more thing. They tempted me with a scoop of their home made butter pecan ice cream. I just want to move in and become one with this place it was so good. I haven't had butter pecan this good in 50 years!! After this essay I guess you could say that I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. It's in a beautiful area, lots of parking, great food & ambiance. I couldn't find a single fault.

    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.

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!

We were looking for a place nearby that could accommodate our group of about 35 people, including a team of energetic 9-year-old baseball players, where everyone could cool off, relax, and enjoy lunch. We found Trevor's Grill & Tavern online and weren't quite sure what to expect. We called about 15 minutes ahead to let them know a large group was on the way, and they couldn't have been more accommodating.

The batter wasn't too heavy and stayed nice and crispy. The cod itself was thick and tasted fresh, like real fish. The fries were A1. My only callout with my dish was the tartar sauce. It had more of a sweet, Miracle Whip-type taste that was a little off-putting for me. It may not be that way for you. My next callout would be the timeframe in which our server got to us. I will say that there had seemed to be some confusion about assigned sections but once he got there, he was a rockstar. Suggestion: switch the lettuce that's underneath the fish with cabbage. It's holds up much better and helps with presentation as well. Their tea and lemonade mix was so good I ended up getting two cups and even took one to go. I will add that I once ordered the firecracker shrimp through DoorDash, and while I could tell it's probably great in the restaurant, it didn't travel well as takeout. Overall, I will definitely visit again.
