Wow the service here is incredible. Anna, the best server, provided me with a barstool when I was in need. I hope she gets a raise and a promotion. Broccoli cheddar? Fantastic. All bartenders are perfect too. 10/10 would recommend. #curbsidecrush read more

The lady lied to my face and sat customers where she said that would be my table. Go to google reviews.

Love this place! I have been coming here at least once a week since January. And at no time have ever been disappointed. The bartenders are all courteous, punctual and pleasant. I have been through about half of the lunch menu and every item has been spot on delicious. Everything is fabulous! What is making me give a shout out today is that Curbside served me the best grilled chicken sandwich I have ever had in my 52 years of my life!! Serious! It WAS FABULOUS! Enjoy the outdoor seating. Bring the kids! Add the mustard! You won't be disappointed! And you will be back for more! read more

This is one of my favorite local bars in Richmond. I used to live just one block away in the fan and my roommates and I would always come to curbside for a patio beer and to take advantage of the best happy hour in Richmond. Pros: - a truly local feel. Tight wooden booths with an unpretentious atmosphere. A great place to watch a football or basketball game. - the happy hour and specials are unreal. Hit up taco Tuesday for 3 for $3 tacos. They aren't the best tacos I've ever had, but they are pretty damn good for the value. - decent local draft list - COTU Ray ray's pale ale and DB selections - porch with year round Christmas lights strung up for a friendly neighborhood vibe - nearby walk to metro, boka, and main street fan bars Cons: - the food is serviceable bar food. A range of sandwiches and burgers etc are fine, but will not blow you away. - unsuspecting crowd and environment can be exactly what you're looking for on a low key night, but not the place to be seen Overall, a very loveable fan staple with decent eats and drink specials for a great time with friends or to watch a game. read more

Curbside is an easy, casual restaurant bar atmosphere. The food is consistently good, sometimes great. The service is friendly while not being outstanding. Yet, we always return! It's probably my favorite fan bar to just grab a beer and sit on the patio on a nice day and really feel like you're in the fan the way it always has been. It feels like a tradition to us now and we are lucky to have it in our neighborhood! Also, great weekday specials and affordable drinks! read more

Unfortunately the service on May 16 was not good at all!! The first person to talk to us after 10 minutes of waiting to get seated we were told that the table had to be cleaned off. There were four adults and 2 children. We asked for a high chair and never got that. We waited yet again so we helped ourselves to menus. They were not brunch menus, we had no idea there were 2 separate menus. So the next person to come to our table said "first of all those are not the right menus and threw the correct ones on the table. Never once asked what we wanted to drink. We looked at the menu and found nothing suitable to order off that menu. We then got up and left. We walked out the front door and she very sarcastically said "have a good rest of your day. Then proceeded to assist another patron but not before making an unacceptable comment about us. So unfortunately we will never go back because the wait staff is just too nasty. They did not appear to be understaffed and there weren't many people. read more

This place is perfect for a few beers real solid food and TVs for sports being back. Staff is really friendly. Buffalo sandwich would be my recommendation but they have different specials every day. read more

The atmosphere of this place is awesome. I sincerely wish they didn't let people smoke outside though. I seriously tasted tobacco in my drinks and food. It was awful. The food was average. Nothing memorable except the cool location and the smoking of course. Now I know what you're going to say. "Well, just sit inside if the smoking bothers you." Right, I hear you, but the cool part about this place is that you CAN sit outside with your group of friends and catch up. I also don't remember any specials truly sticking out either. Would I return? Possibly, to give it another chance, but I won't be running back, that's for sure. read more

If you live nearby and it's a nice day or a Tuesday, you should definitely go to Curbside! The outdoor deck vibes are lovely and the staff is nothing but friendly. I love how casual it is! I've had the quesadillas and they were yummy and a huge portion for the price. I really wanted a Moscow Mule and they took them off of the menu but the waitress was kind enough to make one for me anyway! It was HUGE. :D For taco tuesday they do two dollar tacos which is a great deal and who doesn't love eating tacos on a porch? I can't name anyone. read more

Ok. The Google reviews said this was THE spot for good burgers and great beer...a local hot spot. It was indeed a local joint, kind of divey. The burgers were pretty good, and reasonably priced. Now, the beer selection was a disappointment. Very few craft selections. Mostly is looked like people were drinking PBR, which was only $3, but still no thank you. read more

As soon as we told friends we were moving to Richmond we were told to immediately go to Curbside and by goly we were not disappointed. Who I AM disappointed in are my fellow yelpers. I got the buffalo nachos as my dinner because every one said they were AMAZING..... please do not get these nachos. But please DO get the pierogis! read more

Today was a perfect example why I am a sucker for dive bars. This little place served up some great food today! Richmond has an incredible array of dive hours that serve some of the best food I've had anywhere. Whether it is a high-end restaurant or an inexpensive one I always seem to find some of the best food I have ever eaten in the dive bars locally. To start I got their French onion soup. I'm not a French onion soup specialist by far so all I can say is it was delicious! The balance between the onion, the beef broth, and the cheese on top was great. For lunch I got the fried chicken sandwich with bacon, jalapeño cheddar cheese, and buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce was very pungent and was a pleasure my nose. The sandwich was made from scratch, it was not frozen- to- fryer. It was hand breaded with a generous amount of bacon and jalapeño cheddar cheese. It's was great, and served with tater tot's that I could not eat all of. There was only one aspect I did not like. The blue cheese dressing that came with my meal was out of a bottle versus being from scratch. It appeared from looking around that all of the dressings were from a bottle versus scratch. I must say that that is a very mild complaint for what I got today. Good job Curbside! I will be back! read more

Curbside Cafe - The French Onion soup - American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

See all

Good! Definitely a neighborhood joint. Nothing upscale about it. Just a fun place to eat after a trip to the VMFA.

Decided to check this spot out for happy hour on one beautiful warm Friday evening after work. Most of the few parties who were there when I arrived were on the patio, which is where I also decided to sit. Since I arrived after 4 and happy hour didn't start til 5, I had a couple bottles of Woodchuck before deciding to try the buffalo chicken nachos. This appetizer came in a HUGE portion; my friend arrived just in time to split it with me. Though there are nightly dinner specials, happy hour is all about drinks. The servers were very friendly and seemed to have rapport with the regulars. The patio dining, food options, service, and happy hour specials offered at this pristine Fan location makes it very appealing to return and become a repeat customer myself! read more

Curbside Cafe - Buffalo chicken nachos - American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The absolute favorite for my girl and I to head to. (We also live a block away). But the burgers are awesome for the price and the service is amazing (we've had bad servers here but they never last long) they do get busy sometimes but waiting has never been a problem and the servers will keep order and not anyone jump you in line. Plus they always remember our orders and names! read more

The staff is very friendly and welcoming ! The burgers/sandwiches are AWESOME esp for the price. My only negative bit is that the quesadillas and nachos are literally microwaved. No crispy tortilla just an awkward sad quesadilla. Their tacos are scary terrible even for the happy hour prices. Late happy hour (until 9 I believe). LOVE watching football there (esp if redskins are playing) even though I don't know much about football but the boyfriend does and we always have a blast with such a cozy environment. The music, friendly attentive staff, cheap food and good vibes have made us regulars. read more

Second time being here for burger week and I must say it was the bomb! Last year's burger week they made the "unicorn burger" which was the bomb. This year I tried the blue cheese burger. At first I thought it was going to be a thick and dry burger due to the cheese being inside. To my delight, it was actually pretty good! I was there for the happy hour as well so burger and beer always go hand in hand. Hopefully next years burger week will be just as good as I will be there!!! read more

Looks like an average Fan restaurant but do not underestimate this place! The food is very good with great daily specials. Drinks prices are reasonable, $3 for a good draft compared to $4 at most other places. It can sometimes be understaffed but I've never been disappointed in the experience. read more

Curbside Cafe used to be Barracuda's and before that, John & Norman's. The name has changed but the song remains the same. Yes, on the surface, they have updated their menu and have a big screen tv with Directv. But, they still offer very few vegetable choices on the menu and it is still way too dark inside. It is a same old same old scene and despite a few cosmetic changes, it still is uninspiring and lacks energy. The music is hit or miss and Saturday during the day is especially lame for music. It just isn't that fun. read more

OMG. WTF. does shorthand count? don't fake the funk. there are hella joints in this part of town that are open late or serve food or drinks. by why? curbside will do you & you only. color me impressed. just wished spots in dc took care of folks like this dope ass neighborhood spot did us. kudos to the chef, the wait staff & the owners. read more

Not the most vegetarian-friendly restaurant in the Fan. However, the dinner menu has some yummy sandwiches and salads. For the pescatarians, the Casear Salad with Blackened Tuna is quite lovely. The biggest plus here is the terrace, which can get really crowded in nice weather. I know it's popular for brunch, but the brunch doesn't really do it for me. It's all stuff I could cook at home. I'd be more enthusiastic if there were more veggie-friendly sides. Essentially, a fall-back choice if you live in the neighborhood, but nothing to make an effort to try. read more

Delicious brunch! We have been here several times now. They have been excellent every time. This was our first time for brunch, and i was a bit hesitant because i thought it would be a status quo bar breakfast. It was not. Definity come here for brunch, and then later for burgers and drinks. read more

Fantastic food and service. 10/10 would recommend. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Food arrived not too long after we'd been seated and ordered. Beware or their brunch drinks because they're delicious and will sneak up on you! read more

Curbside is great, I was bar hopping in the fan with a co-worker on a Thursday night, both our phones were dead and we had no idea what time it was, so after going in 2 bars asking what time it was, we decided to just go to Curbside, whose happy hour doesn't end until 9. The place was pretty dead when we went in, but it was perfect for me. Thursday is their whiskey night, so house whiskey is only $2. PERFECT! The whiskey sours were great! The staff is really friendly, and everyone seems like family. Because of the knowledge of "Whiskey night", I found myself returning again on a Thursday night. This time, it was a bit more busy, but not packed. I ordered food this time the "Byrd Jr", which was delicious, which I did not expect! I also got the tots, which was again delicious. I got 4 whiskey sours that night, and 3 out of the 4 were delicious... no complaints here. Again, it was a different staff, but they were all VERY friendly. Curbside is definitely, a hole in the wall place, but I think that's what I like about it. I'll absolutely be returning... Probably on a Thursday night. read more

This was a tremendous experience in customer service. I had ordered the Byrd Sr. dinner (involving chicken, fish, and mash with fresh steamed veggies) but was given the Byrd Jr. (sort of like the Sr. but a Jr., sandwich style with fries instead of veggies. Upon notifying the waitress, who was so pleasant the entire time, I was given the Byrd Jr. for free to nibble on while they rushed my Byrd Sr. out. Plus, it was 1/2 price app's on that day (Sunday?). That was such a steal on the amount of food we got for the price. The atmosphere carries very much that older Fan corner bar/grill feel. It just seems like one of those places you walk into and everyone there seems like a regular. It carries that not without all the pretentiousness that makes people feel uncomfortable. FYI, smoking throughout. I didn't notice it much, but then again, I rarely ever do. read more

I've been once before but my meal was delicious! I visited in the late spring time during the day and ended up sitting at the outside patio area. I got their signature burger and my friend got a BBQ sandwich. Our food came out tasting great and the beer we ordered was nice and cold. The one drawback I had to sitting outside was the fact that it is right at a small intersection with a stop so if you're outside there is a greater chance of your conversation being interrupted by someone stopped in their car outside listening to loud music or something like that. All in all, I would definitely go back, just be prepared to have to talk a little louder if you sit outside! read more

Curbside is my favorite place to watch football and eat pirogies. I want to claim it as a Packers bar because I've met a lot of other Packers fans there BUT ALAS we have to share and there's a pretty good mix of people on Sunday afternoons. The brunch menu is also fantastic and service is great. read more

So I went here before New York Deli Friday night and I stand behind my last review... We luckily sat in a booth and the entire time I had someone hovering over the table because the place was so packed. Maybe it's time for the fire marshall to check this place out... read more

Decent bar. Pretty good beer selection. Was only there for one beer because they didn't have late night food and my group was hungry. I'd definitely go back and give it another try if I'm ever in Richmond again. read more

Very cool local bar, the staff was great super friendly and attentive. Seemed like a mix of VCU students and locals. Great place to grab a beer and the night we were there listen to a solid mix of social D, rancid, type music selections. We didn't eat or have any craft cocktails. read more

Best happy hour and bartenders in Richmond. There's a very friendly feel when sitting at the bar.

The menu is always amazing. So many great options on the board that allow for new and interesting choices. Front house staff are friendly and helpful with food and drink advice. I'll be back again. read more

3+ stars---which is a very good rating from me. I just tried Curbside for the first time, for brunch, and the place was a treat! As the previous reviewer noted, service is excellent -- very friendly but not intrusive, and determined to satisfy the customer. Their breakfast menu is short and simple -- apparently focused on what they do well. The cheesy hash browns and maplewood bacon that seem to accompany every meal are exceptionally delicious (though I'm sure cardiologists would object). Also, very good (and cheap) bloody mary's and mimosas. read more

The Lynchburger is extraordinary! Get it without lettuce and tomato for the real Texas Tavern experience. Looking forward to my next one. ......... read more

I've heard a lot of great things about this bar, but unfortunately it's very difficult to find. I'm not sure if the difficulty arises from it's somewhat hidden location or my inability to read (I'm having this review transcribed). Additionally, given the restaurant's close proximity to Fox elementary school, my ability to be present in the bar creates some legal issues (it's a long story). All that to say, I've never been to Curbside but have heard tremendous things about it. Hopefully one day I can find it and have a couple beers with some acquaintances! read more

Stopped in yesterday with a friend who was craving their buffalo chicken nachos. With $3 rail drinks from 5pm-9pm, I was more than happy to tag along for happy hour! I don't know what was going on yesterday, but the place was packed when we arrived. All of the tables were taken, and we almost exited in search of a less crowded venue... but then new friends to the rescue! Two nice gentlemen sitting at the large front table (it was the last available one when they got there) allowed us to snag two seats on the end. Success! My friend got her bbq nachos, I got my happy hour, and all was right in the world. I decided I needed to post an update because for the first time ever, I actually ordered food from Curbside's kitchen. Who knew Curbside's bar food is actually pretty tasty? It's not that I was avoiding the menu previously, it's just that I'd never had occasion to grub at Curbside- usually I'm there for the drinks and the neighborhood-y atmosphere. Well, I ordered the black bean burger (no bun! I know, I'm weird. Better weird than boring though, right?) with a side of tater tots. While the burger was decent, the tots were the shining star of my meal. Perfectly crispy on the outside with tender potato inside and bursting with flavor. A few bites were a tad salty, but overall the seasoning was balanced and kicked the tots up a notch. The plate was piled high with taters, so in the interest of not gaining 500 lbs from eating greasy goodness, I only ate a few. Hint, hint, they'd be perfect to share!! Oh, and in case you're wondering, I did manage to fit in a few rounds of Photo Hunt after my meal. read more

I ATE A UNICORN! We have eaten here many times over the years, but recently Curbside has been changing its image (with an Esquire-style, Varga-like girl on its menu) and menu, which is expanded a bit from a year ago. Among the items that are new is a "Unicorn Burger," which is a blend of ground beef and ground bacon. Good stuff. The standbys from the old menu remain, and the new stuff looks good. This place still lacks anything to make it anything other than "that place between Buddy's and Main Street," but it's reliable. read more

'What can Brown do for you?' A lot here... especially with 1/2 $price burger nite on Wed's. Excellent burgers, great staff, great bar. Keep the Legends pouring and the atmosphere fun, perfect for game day. Our fav Fan outdoor spot. Did I mention the great front patio where everyone that passes by wishes they had your table?! 8-) read more

After walking by this place numerous times and seeing the patio packed, we decided to check it out. I wish I hadn't. We walked it and it looked like it was trying to be a dive bar, but it sure didn't accomplish that. We ordered two beers, the rib bites and the wings. What a bummer. All the food seemed prepackaged, the sauces came straight out of a bottle, and we had no desire to eat any of it. Our waitress was horrible. All she did was stand around and daydream. Seriously she had like one other table and it took at least a few minutes of waving her down to get some extra napkins. It will be a cold day in hell when I step back into this establishment. read more

Curbside Cafe will always have a special place in my heart ever since my hubby and I were taking a walk and stumbled upon its cozy outdoor patio. It's definitely a dive bar, but as a Wisconsin girl, this doesn't bother me. Service is always friendly and drink specials are unbeatable. Also, taco Tuesday's are great! Curbside is a great place just to chill for cheap! read more
