We have been going to this restaurant since it opened without fail every week. Food is always good and service is gruff but good. Since they received a good review in the newspaper service has slipped. Today the owner refused to change our request to sit at a different table (a 3-top) because "...there are more people coming and we want to reserve that table for a party of three..". My wife and i did not want to sit next to a wild child whose parents could not control her, nor sit in front of the door that is always being held open. There were plenty of tables for 4 or more available. But he refused to allow us to change tables. I hope he learns about customer service before the luster of the article wears off. And how to treat regulars that have supported him well before a newspaper article. read more

Had high hope since this place has new management. Unfortunately they follow the protocol of asking you what drink you want before your butt even hits the seat. I don't know Susan give me time to look at the menu! Once you placed your initial order good luck getting anything else because they deliver the check with the food and that's pretty much it. Food arrived - looked good. Weeeel, grits weren't cooked all the way so were, in a word, gritty and my biscuits and gravy were tolerable but cold. My tea cup needed a good bleaching as it was stained from the coffee. They were attentive and took your dirty plates very quickly so that's good right? My companion said she liked the ratio of orange juice to champagne in her mimosa! But for food, just meh. I like to write good reviews and tried to find good here, sadly no. read more

Eat 66 - Biscuits and gravy, grits, French toast, hashbowns and a biscuit- but seriously $1.95 for 3 slices of tomato? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I could. It wasn't bad, though also not great. Staff was super friendly! I really liked our server and I was glad to see they were busy on a Tuesday at lunchtime. The food was just okay, typical diner food I'd say. I had high hopes for my Eggs Benedict; but the hollandaise sauce was not great. Clearly from a jar and the biscuit my husband ordered tasted like flour. I will give it a second chance since I live down the street. It was clean and inviting, although we got stuck at a tiny two top table down the center of the restaurant where they tried to cram too many tables leaving us awkwardly close to the patrons on both sides. read more

Third time we've been here. Service was great, food delicious, prices & portions on point and super fast! Will definitely be going more often! I had the BLT breakfast sandwich with tater tots and my husband had the Big 66 breakfast meal. Both were perfect! Highly recommend! read more

Great food, love the owner and the staff. You can't go wrong here.

was not terribly impressed with Breakfast there last month, service was pretty good, but the food left alot to be desired. the "hash Browns" were warm and not at all tasty, the eggs, meh poorly scrambled, not sure I'll be back. read more

Good bloody-well done breakfast club-bacon crispy-worked for me plus they open earlier than other joints nearby read more

Eat 66 - Breakfast club - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Had fun taking some young friends there after a morning dog walk. Struck up conversations with both our great servers-mom and son! Family run, great vibe, good prices. We will return! read more

Disappointed. Have eaten here several times, with food and service both terrific. This morning not so. I order a breakfast sandwich with bacon egg tomato. That's it. It comes out with cheese on it. News flash: not everybody wants cheese on a breakfast sandwich. Service was worse. The place was not busy at all, but our server couldn't be bothered to check on our orders or bring refills of coffee & tea. A different server asked if one of our party wanted a coffee refill but then never brought it. The last I saw of our server she was sitting on her ass eating. Really? This ain't rocket science folks. Just pay the hell attention to what you're doing. Will not go back. read more

We used to love this place but will not go back again. We went for breakfast this morning. The place seemed to be in chaos. Our order was taken quickly but then we waited 40 minutes without being served our food. We finally left without eating. The people in the kitchen seemed to not know what they were doing. No one came to apologize for the wait. I don't know what's changed from the last time we were here but it is not good. read more

We went for breakfast this morning. We had to practically beg for more coffee. One waitress was sitting with customers looking through their phone. Finally got my food and it was ice cold. First visit and never going back! read more

Don't understand all the good reviews. Chicken and "dumplings" is watery chicken soup with 1 dumpling thrown in, cole slaw looked like it was made 2 days ago and swimming in mayo. Mashed potatoes gravy was just gross. So for $35 I got 2 sides of pintos and 2 pieces of cornbread that was good enough to eat. Save the trip and go somewhere else. read more

Neighbor diner feel and it doesn't disappoint! Excellent food and great customer engagement. While they need additional help, they're managing pretty well. read more

Food is awesome new staff is great love the new fresh faces will be back for sure couldn't have been better as far as food service hospitality 5 stars for me !!!!! read more

Loved this place pre pandemic, and my review today has nothing to do with COVID and their procedures. They do a pretty good job of that, wiping tables, plexiglass, hand sanitizer and what not. The service was not great. Our coffee cups stayed empty way too long and we had to ask for refills. They were blasting (terrible, mid 90s, alt pop) music, and we asked if they could turn it down a notch and they responded it was "pre-set". We couldn't even have a conversation it was so loud, just turn it down a notch? The food was meh. It used to be that everything was made fresh, our meals today tasted like they had come out of a poorly maintained freezer. The corn beef hash was more frozen shredded potatoes than corn beef, the hash browns were obviously not what they used to be. Nobody came to check on us, our only interaction with staff was when our food was ordered and then delivered. I am able to forgive the service issues to an extent. I saw the help wanted sign, and only three people were working the front of house. What I cannot forgive is the loud music, refusal to address the issue, and the mediocre food. read more

This place is our favorite place to go for breakfast. They have the loveliest staff and the best food. We visit weekly and have never been disappointed. read more

Went to lunch with co-workers. The meatloaf was great! We enjoyed it. Cailin provided wonderful customer service!! Will definitely be back! read more

I have the blackened catfish plate for breakfast. It was perfect. The fish, the asparagus, the grits, the biscuit--everything was prepared well. Cosmic steps beyond the previous breakfast/lunch spot! The music selection was good, but just a little too loud. Even though it was 10am and not crowded, it's nice not to have to shout to your breakfast mate across the table. read more

Just passing through and found this amazing jewel of a restaurant. Fried green tomato Bennie was outstanding.

So disappointed today. Went for breakfast and has been good in the past but today, not so much. First off the service was excellent, however I had their hash browns and couldn't eat them. They tasted like fried in old grease. The omelette was kind of okay but kind of had that slight old grease taste too. Guess I'll go back to the tried and true H Hop!! read more

Favorite go to local breakfast spot. Good down home cooking with friendly happy staff. Fantastic Mimosas

Formerly Paradise diner, we very much enjoyed our meal. Husband had the Philly cheesesteak and I had a brunch special, veggie frittata. Hot fresh and tasty. Prices were reasonable and menu was varied but simple. They serve breakfast all day, check the hours before heading out. Place looked fresh, bright and clean! Kind of retro-beachy. Service was old fashioned and we will be back for more! Highly recommend. read more

This place reminds me so much of a restaurant that I used to eat at down in North Miami Beach Florida a small restaurant that had a great vibe great feel owners were fantastic the staff was amazing and the food was out of this world. If I could give this place 100*I would. My wife and I were just there today and we met a nice lady from England and we were sitting there chatting with her and, the subject of meatloaf came up and they said the owner said that they had really good meatloaf and I said really I never tried it she came back with a whole serving of meatloaf and told me you're trying the problem was the food that I had ordered was so big in size I have no room left for the meatloaf but I'm sure it was fantastic because it smelled amazing I love this place. There is no way on gods green earth that I will go anywhere else than here unless I'm out of town. read more

This is my go too in the RVA area for breakfast.The food is amazing awesome staff and always here to help . If you don't know what something is they always explain what is on it or if they have had it . The staff is wonderful very friendly. And most of all a very clean atmosphere and family friendly. If you have not checked out Eat 66 I would best food ever . read more

I consider myself to be a sausage gravy connoisseur and this place has hands down the BEST sausage gravy in town! It's basically it's own food group! This place is a GEM!! Everything is awesome...from the Zing Zang Bloody Mary's to the eclectic variety of music! They have a very friendly and attentive staff who really care! This place is a MUST! Can't wait to return! I've found a new favorite! read more

Bright and cheery new place at the end of a shopping strip that is worth a visit for breakfast and lunch. It has happy vibe with decent oldies music. They serve breakfast and lunch specials ranging from sandwiches to frittatas with a yummy variations of eggs Benedict. I had a delish, flaky biscuit sandwich which will want me wanting more. read more

My husband and I have enjoyed eating breakfast at Eat 66 - for the most part. He claims they have the best Bloody Marys! The food is acceptable and fairly good; however, our last visit was not the best. Not because of the food but the wait staff. We stood at the front door waiting to be seated. The staff kept walking past us...what are we? Invisible? Finally, we were seated. Unfortunately, this did not make for a good experience. Will we go back? I'm all for second chances. read more

Decent breakfast, service was fine. I felt sick leaving because while I was trying to enjoy my breakfast, some older regular would not stop talking about how great Trump is as a president. I was polite and just ate my breakfast and left. I won't be back. Its not the diners fault, but my first impression was soiled listening to that. I don't get it. read more

I work at Stony Point and a menu for this place was dropped off in our office and I wanted a new spot to try for lunch. I ordered the chicken and dumplings and they were amazing! Along with the green beans and mashed potatoes! I ordered for carry out and ready for pick up as soon as I got there. I decided the following week to try it again and had fried chicken livers with corn and potato salad and again loved it all! The potato salad reminds me of my grandmothers so they scored points there. Highly recommend this place! Next I m trying their brunch! read more

Cute diner. Loved the atomosphere. The food was great! I had the breakfast club that came quartered which made it super easy and fun to eat! So glad we accidently stumbled upon it. read more

Really, really wanted to like this place. We are retired so why not go for breakfast and mimosas on a Friday? The most current menu stated the mimosas are $4.75. Ordered a breakfast club. Asked for my egg to be cooked over easy. My husband's food came out without mine and I was told mine was being "assembled". So I waited. When it came out I was expecting to find an over easy egg on it. It was cut into quarters. First quarter no egg at all just a lot of melted American cheese. Second quarter found a piece of egg white. Third quarter a shred of egg white. Last quarter gave up on finding an over easy egg. Asked server where was my egg? Odd my food was delayed serving but she said she would find out. She never gave an explanation but there was a $2.75 discount on our tab. Serious? No egg on my breakfast club. We were also charged $7 for mimosas. They had a lot of regulars as they called them by name. It's clean but dang, just put my egg on my breakfast club without a hassle. Won't go back again. Second time food was weird. First time we went for chicken and dumplings but no dumplings. Did give us some to take home. Just dumplings. read more

I'm always looking for a good diner for breakfast, and if they list homemade corned beef hash as one of their items, they got me. So, this place does have homemade corned beef hash. It was pretty good, though the corned beef seemed to be cut up thin slices rather than shredded or chopped corned beef from the actual brisket, which is what I would have preferred. It had peppers and onions and a little too much salt. Eggs were cooked as requested. I did not get a dish that came with hash browns, so I have to go by one of my fellow diners who found them disappointing . Other than that no real complaints about the food , but no oh my God I can't wait to eat that again experience . So the three stars here are more for the service. There were five of us, so we were seated in a large Corner booth. Server was friendly, but here's a few mistakes. First off, don't sit down at the table to take the order. It's intrusive, it's not friendly. Also, don't interrupt your customer several times to tell them that you're not capable of getting the order down unless you are able to control the situation entirely. Having done this exact job for more years than I care to admit, you need to develop the skills to listen, then ask questions if you need to for clarifications. Interrupting and instructing the customers how to order is not only rude, it doesn't reflect well on skill. Bottom line, you can get a decent breakfast here, and a pretty nice Bloody Mary, but given the opportunity to go someplace else I probably would. Only because it was just sort of a meh experience. read more

Fun, retro, great turkey rice soup like my memere made! No pie for dessert only banana pudding.

I LOVE this place for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes I go have both back to back! They have really amazing mimosas including tropical and pointsetta ones. They have a variety of cocktails at $5 or below. You absolutely must try the bell-ringing wang dang doodle. It is by far my favorite brunch spot in all of RVA. read more

This is the sister restaurant to eat 33 I believe and a great addition to Forest Hill. The inside is bright and cheerful, and super clean. They have an extensive brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday with a variety of everything! Great selection of comfort foods (meatloaf, fried green tomatoes, sos- shi* on the shingles, and more!) the service is fast and efficient. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of regulars. read more

We were looking for a place to grab lunch before a college tour and stumbled upon this place and boy were we lucky!! I got a grilled chicken sandwich and it was one of the best ones I've had anywhere, and the fries were great also!! Nice clean restaurant with cute decor! Staff was incredibly friendly and food came out super fast! For sure recommend!! read more

Hidden diner. Closes early afternoon. This is a great place to get a quick bite. Service is very attentive. The catfish plate has enough for two. One large piece tasted well, moist in the middle and comes out hot. The fries are like everyone else's,,,, BUT their braised cabbage was the best I have had. I rarely eat cooked cabbage because it wilts, but this cabbage was crunchy, right amount of salt, and Had the right amount of spice. I was shocked how good it was. Iced tea is in large glass with that wonderful chopped ice. read more

Our first to dine here. It was great in every way. Service ,food, and atmosphere. It will now be our Breakfast spot as it was in the Paradise Diner days. read more
