Yum, yum, yum!!!! The mussel in wine/garlic sauce appetizer was absolutely amazing and my carbonara main course was as good as any I had in Portugal! Wait staff was pleasant and knowledgeable especially concerning local IPA's!! Definitely recommended! read more

Came back on a Sunday afternoon. Cool brunch menu with a great array of choices. I was in a salad mood and the mixed greens with shaved fennel and asparagus was very nice. Good greens with a light lemon dressing. The manchego cheese is shredded, which is a bit odd. Busy day, so a couple folks shared service. We still grabbed a nice cozy booth. Others had a Rachael and the BALT. Fries were tepid so they brought a fresh sizzling batch. Nice draft list. read more

I *love* Galley! Located in Stratford Hills in a nondescript shopping center, Galley has both options for dining in and to go. I've yet to order anything mediocre from their menu, and their service is consistently great. For one, their pizza is top-tier. Really some of the best you can find outside of the northeast. I love their basic cheese. Their nachos are incredible as well, but note that they are MASSIVE. We needed two to-go boxes for our leftovers. They easily could've been the entire meal. Order them with pork! I've also enjoyed brunch at Galley. Their Italian frittata is soooo good and is teeming with cheese. I wish I had tried them earlier than this past summer. Since then, I've had a few great experiences. On my last visit, they even had 2000s emo music playing. Made me so happy. read more

GREAT food, great people, wonderful environment. We regularly enjoy hanging out, eating, drinking, and chatting it up with Randy, AJ, Laura, Rachel, Ellen, Mallan, and all the other amazing staff. The new remodeled bar is one of our favorite hangouts. Go team Galley! read more

I shit myself before i could even get back to my house, DO NOT get the pasta with clam. The clams were from a jar, absolutely no flavor. i ate more pollen than the food. The server seemed as if she was high. read more

We sat outside on this gorgeous 72 degree day in May! I loved the seating and the big open window with a view of the restaurant. Inside the tin ceiling is eye-catching and the open seating creates a friendly, welcoming vibe. But this is more than a restaurant, it's also a gourmet food shop! There are shelves, bins, and coolers full of unique gourmet foods... they carry cheeses, frozen foods (Nightingale ice cream), freshly Prepared salads, international groceries, chips and other snacks, cookies & candies, nuts, coffee, teas, spices, salsas... and much more! I purchased quite a few items!! I chose from the breakfast menu: eggs, a slightly sweet (maple?) bacon, baguette toast, with a side of avocado. The food was ok, but the eggs weren't made to my request, and the avocado was past its prime, but the rest was fine. Our server was pleasant and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. One caveat: the restrooms were not tidy to say the least. I mentioned that to the staff when we left, so hopefully they took care of it. It's a shame that some discustomers leave public restrooms such a mess. Ugh! read more

Y'all just about the best pizza we have had in a long time. Crust is perfect cheese is right We got the sausage fennel. And as it's my birthday on Valentines day we have to find alternatives to night out at a restaurant so we ordered the Paella which we both loved, with some big ole salads much less the cornbread that comes with it . Really upbeat staff, we are glad to have found a great spot. read more

A delicious piece of pizza!! This place is comfortable and the staff is friendly. The prices are reasonable and they have free refills on sodas. During the summer months, it's cooler toward the back of the restaurant read more

Galley has good food for breakfast but I have always found the lunch and dinner options to be pretty underwhelming.

Excellent variety of food, especially if you have a mix of adults and kids. Much nicer than typical bar/grill but still has pizza, burgers, and chicken for kids. Staff very friendly. read more

Second time here and they didn't disappoint except for the slow "getting started ". But they were quite busy. Once we ordered the food came really quick. Our sever helped my daughter decide on her meal. She was thoroughly impressed and said that she will get it every time. I had the mo hamburger, mushrooms, Swiss cheese and a horseradish sauce. The handmade burger was at least 3 inches and cooked medium like I ordered. But the star of all is their mash potatoes!!!' I could eat a whole bowl. Make plans to go soon read more

I had a great meal at Galley with even better service. I loved the panini-styled bacon/egg/cheese sandwich, and there was lots of fruit as the side. One of the servers offered I try their house hot sauce, and it lives up to the hype. This place is great, and even has a to-go market attached to it. Parking is easy, and the prices are fair. I definitely see myself coming back soon. read more

This rating is entirely directed to ownership/management- your staff is great, front/back of house is great, food and vibe is great. HIRE MORE PEOPLE TO WORK ON THURSDAYS. You have the most popular restaurant in the neighborhood, but they're clearly overwhelmed. I had a simple carryout order that took close to an hour and a half. Entirely a reflection at the top- do better! read more

Love the specials board, keeps is coming over and over! Service is always great. Downside, tje restroom does not have baby changing space.

The server told us to get the f@ck out and never f$cken come back because we asked why haven't we gotten our food or drinks. We waited and watched other people get their orders even though we were there before them. We were totally ignored, read more

Solid food, service can be slow at times especially peak hours. It's a go to for us for a good meal.

Love Galley! Always have an amazing meal. Love their desserts toooo! I highly recommend the pizza too.

I love the prepared food section in Galley, but I especially love the curry cauliflower and the Szechaun noodles!! I probably get it for lunch more than I should, but they are just that damn good. It's easily a $6 meal and it's so filling. The spicy sauce on the noodles plus the curry on the cauliflower are a match made in heaven. I hope they never stop selling them both!! read more

I love this place so much! So warm and inviting - don't sleep on the burger it's good af and their onion rings rule!

Love this spot. Was almost an instant classic as soon as it opened. Love everything about it, whether strong down for a salad or sandwich for lunch, or picking up pizzas to go. Really like the fact that it's basically a restaurant and a market side by side. It's a consistent go-to spot. read more

Went to Galley last night after learning Natalie's had revamped their menu in the most disappointing way (for me personally, YMMV). We used to go here all the time and it will always hold a special place in my heart. We visited many times before, during, and after our move to RVA back in 2016. We hadn't gone for a while so I was hoping it was as it was back before it had a bit of a (service-related) slump shortly before the pandemic. I'm happy to report that it exceeded expectations, Galley is at least as good as it ever was if not better. I had the greens salad with salmon, they always do salmon perfectly and the nuts, dried cranberries and especially the feta on that salad made it something special. Wife had the falafel pocket (only bummer is no more lentil burger) and was super pleased with it. And they have Vinho Verde on the menu, a welcome site as we just discovered it in Portugal this summer. Can't wait to go back. Thanks to our server and J, who hooked us up with a table quickly during a crazy busy Friday night! read more

An unexpected delight. We were looking for a quick bit to eat and found this great place. Delicious and somewhat offbeat food in a relaxing atmosphere with a friendly staff. I had a yummy duck prosciutto sandwich with grilled asparagus. My dining companion had a great burger with crispy onion rings. Also their prices are quite reasonable. read more

Love the galley. I typically sit at the bar and eat lunch. The specials are always good and the rachel and other menu items fill the need for those classic diner cravings. If u want a good cup of coffee or a cold beer they got u covered. Some of the best service in the industry by the same people that first brought me my food the first time I ate at the Galley. So if u keep your staff and you serve good food........people will come. Myself included! Also a great spot to bring friends family visiting to Richmond. Not as trendy as the fan but easier parking and honestly great food. Also with the Forest Hills roadwork and underground repairs I make an effort to support these businesses with the awful traffic control and scheduling of repairs. read more

A great eatery with a dive feel, great service and food. My wife and I enjoyed some cold beer and delicious food. It reminds me of Joe's Inn on the north side of the river, which is a great compliment! read more

We came here as a large party for our book club. Galley doesn't take reservations so we just showed up promptly at open to get a table with enough seats. We had one server for a table of around 11 people, and he did his hardest to keep us refreshed and happy! The spicy bloody Mary's are delicious. I also really liked the wide selection of specials that were available. Several of our party went with the chorizo shrimp and grits. I would definitely come back here! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time due to its high reviews. While I liked it fine, I certainly wasn't blown away. The food is standard American fare, though I will say they had some surprising and long list of sides such as collard greens (which were different... tomato-y, and good). The pork on the Cuban sandwich was dry, which made the entire sandwich dry, since it's mostly pork. My friend's nachos looked all one color and not very appetizing. Service was super duper friendly, but slow. Definitely a hot spot on southside. I don't really do southside, so I can't say I'd try it again for different menu items, but I'm glad I finally checked it off the list. read more

When visiting my cousin, they brought me here. Local place with a good vibe and was slamming packed on a Friday night. Good line up of beers. I got the meatball app- which was great and enough for dinner. Includes some bread and light greens. If I lived back in Richmond, I would hit it up more. read more

This was recommended as a good brunch spot so we went after a workout. It was absolutely amazing. The wait staff was very friendly and were able to accommodate our larger group easily. The menu had great options, and I really loved my polenta marinara with an egg on top and Gorgonzola cheese. The marinara sauce had a bold flavor that tied everything together nicely. The refills on black coffee was of course a delight. Their to-go section of Deli foods has a lot a variety of flavors and vegetables and noodles or sandwiches. This is definitely a place I'm going to revisit and I highly recommend it. read more

This place came as a recommendation by a coworker so I decided to give it a try! The food was good, I wasn't knocked over by the pesto and mozzarella chicken sandwich as it could have used a tad more seasoning! The onion rings were more cooked than I'd prefer but they were pretty good. The overall downer for me was a mess of gnats in the restaurant! At one point I felt like I was at a cookout on a hot summer's day, swatting gnats while trying to enjoy your lunch is not a good thing! On a positive note, the to-go side is awesome! We accidentally went there first and the whole vibe and waitstaff were pretty amazing! Definitely will give them a try! read more

We hit this busy place on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was crowded both inside and out but we were able to snag a table without having to wait. There was no sign about whether you had to wait to be seated so after about a minute of waiting for the hosted we decided to grab the open booth close to the door. A server did come over after seating another group so I'm still not sure if you pick your own table or you're supposed to be seated. Good luck! Our server was friendly but rushed so I was a little nervous about the rest of our dining experience. Good news though because everything turned out great! I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and it was incredible. A large amount of yummy food for a good price. If I didn't eat so much I may have tried dessert but I was waaaay too full. My friend ordered the Club Burrito with a side of Apple Fennel Slaw. She loved it and I thought the slaw was delish. We have plans to return to try other menu items. read more

Always consistently good! The Polenta & Gorgonzola is my Favorite. Love the pizza too

I cannot say enough of how happy I get when I am asked to work nearby this place and Galley-Go-To next door. If I feel like behaving, I can order the meatball appetizer at Galley, which comes with 4 delicious meatballs and nice mixed greens, and incredible value @ $5.95. When I'm in for a naughty lunch, I have the pepperoni pizza, THE BEST IN RVA, in my opinion, at Galley-Go-To, Giustino's Pizza. I have no clue who Giustino is, but he's a baller at pizza.(I may have been known to have said pizza with one of the fine beers they serve...at 11:30 AM...stop judging). Today, I had some of the best fish tacos I've had. With a Falcoln Smash IPA. :-) read more
