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

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

The food was DELICIOUS! We ordered an array of food and all of it was great. The staff was super friends and the portions were very generous. I would definitely recommend and will go back. read more

Galley - Cheese Fries, chips and salsa, burger, onion rings, grandma slice with side salad, chicken sandwich with asparagus. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Y'all the Galley diner serves breakfast all day! If you love breakfast and brunch, this is the place to eat at. I got the French toast special and I can't remember what my friend got, some sort of salmon and egg dish that came with cornbread, topped asparagus. She enjoyed it and the portion sizes were large! Make sure to go come hungry. Friendly staff, I had a wonderful experience. Will be back! read more

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

My husband and I went there abut 8 pm on a Saturday night and I am sure he thought I was out of my mind. The interior looks like a ship's galley with gunmetal walls. The front window opens like a garage door. The fish tacos are excellent! We were both pleasantly surprised. Good food. We were both very pleased with our very different meals. read more

Galley - Fish tacos! A must order! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Do not waste your time waiting for incredibly poor service or mediocre food. It is disappointing as this place used to be very cool and employed a staff who worked very hard to make a small place standout. read more

A friend mentioned this place and we went the same night with her. My husband and I enjoyed the food and we will go back to try their breakfast menu. I ordered the Galley Burger and it was okay. Really liked it except the bun is too carby for me. I like when burger buns are a bit thinner and focus is more on the burger meat and other items. This bun was really thick and made me full quick. I also ordered cheese fries. I thought it would come with melted cheddar cheese but nope! It came with mozzarella, I think. And not really melted quick well. I would have preferred just the fries with ketchup. Definitely noted for next time. My husband ordered the steak and he loved it! There was bacon in one of the side items, collard greens, but was not mentioned on the menu. The waitress said that most of the time it comes with bacon. I just think it would be helpful if additions like bacon are always mentioned on the menu but since it's a southern tradition it's worth asking. She was nice and patient and gave him new side options. read more

Disappointing. The roast beef w/au jus (aka french dip) was unappetizing. Although the bread was warmed and cheese somewhat metled, the roast beef was COLD, as were the pimentos and other garnish. EW. I could have accepted the short coming if our server weren't behaving like a jerk. She never once asked us how the food was-- wouldn't make eye contact with me when she walked passed-- I even called out to her. When I finally got her attention to ask for a to go box (planning on heating the remaining half at home) and au jus container, her aloofness came across as if we were interrupting her life. And I STILL had to go to the bar to ask the nice woman for au jus to go. It should be noted that two of the three white women working there were super attentive and pleasant-- our server should take notice, or be given notice. Because I feel pressure to tip no matter what-- I still did but felt shitty about giving my money to a person who treats me badly...how does THAT make sense? I will not spend my money at an establishment that treats me badly AND serves ill-prepared food. I will not be returning. read more

We were seated quickly and service was good at first. Our appetizer took a while to come and when it did no side plates. We patently waited for a server to come by but after well over 5 min I walked up and had to get some myself. Refills for our drinks was a challenge too. I got the carnitas which were good but the rice was petrified under the heat lamp. Overall our meals were decent but the serve was sub par. Won't be back. read more

Great food , on lazy days I go there get the steak and eggs for breakfast a pizza for lunch and a burger for the fun of it and they always come through with top tier food and friendly work staff read more

Wasn't sure how this place operated but it's like having two separate restaurants. One that serves pizza and fast to go items and the other like a full service restaurant complete with booth seating and a bar. I tried out the Cuban sandwich with a side of collard greens. The sandwich was great with lots of meat and cheese. The collard greens were very impressive. I loved the addition of meat and tomatoes to the greens I'll definitely order those again. Great little shop close to home that has a lot to offer. I'll be back for sure to try one of the pizzas and other menu items. read more

Galley - Cuban sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!!! It looked like it would be a place to get a decent meal, and turned out to be a GEM! Would come back to this place for sure anytime I'm in Richmond. I got the Choo Choo Burger which was about a half inch thick cooked perfectly patty and came with Gorgonzola cheese and perfectly cooked bacon on a toasted bun. My friend got the chicken sandwich that was grilled chicken breast, mozzarella, tomato, pesto and a toasted bun. We both got perfectly crispy onion rings and a side of the best ranch I've ever had! I would give this place 10 stars if I could. And the mimosas were not shy on the alcohol at all hahah read more

While on my journey towards putting my visits to chain restaurants on hold and giving local restaurants a chance, I stumbled across Galley. I pretty much pass this restaurant while going to work every day but have never been inside. I also went to this restaurant from a recommendation of a family member. How did my experience go? To find out, read below. The Good: Price/Portion- I ordered the Cuban Sandwich with a side of French Fries. The meal was a little under $10. I was happy to see that my sandwich came with plenty of meat and the fries were a nice portion. I left the restaurant full and feeling like I got my monies worth when it came to the portion that I was served. The Not So Good: Taste- The taste of the sandwich and fries were not bad, but there was no "wow" factor either. The fries were your average run of the mill French fries minus any seasoning and the sandwich was a decent rendition of a Cuban Sandwich. The Bad: Service- From start to finish, the service less than desirable. The server was anything but friendly to my table, she often disappeared for long periods of time, and because of the layout of the restaurant, I could see that our food was sitting in the window ready to be picked up for a long period of time. Because of the wait for the food to make it to my table, the fries from my order were lukewarm at best and my other party members had issues with their food as well. Keep in mind I am very easy to please, but the experience was not a pleasurable one. Overall- It was nice to get out and try a new restaurant. I loved the portion size of the food that I ordered and also feel that the prices are reasonable, but the service killed my experience and I likely will not return anytime soon. TWO STARS. read more

Galley - Cuban Sandwich with French Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I applaud this place for having some options I didn't expect (like paella) but overall it's not a go-to for our family. I'm rating it a little higher because my friends enjoy here and haven't had a bad experience as far as I know. A very "safe" place to eat for the average American or picky eater. I like to see them busy but don't find it that interesting of a place. read more

Must have been the wrong night to go. Deep fryer was broken, table was sticky, a/c didn't appear to be working properly, and the order was slow to come to the table. Also the mashed potatoes were cold. Server was pleasant, but that alone could not rescue the experience. read more

Food was great coffee was really really good . Staff was meh . We arrived at 10:45 they open at 11am , no problem we waited outside . A few other people joined us , the door had been locked but when the older gentleman with us tried the door again at 11 it was open so we all walked in . Overhead the waitress mutter " it's 11:01 I didn't unlock the door they just walked in " she wasn't the friendliest ,kinda put me off our first ever visit to Virginia . She warmed up by the end of our meal but first impressions are HUGE with me in customer service. read more

A great little "fan district" eatery that's not in the fan. Casual and friendly. Basic food with a twist to make it something special. The meatloaf is wonderful. Good beer selection. Service is always friendly and on point. read more

I really love diners. Coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner at any time. Galley had great coffee, and fantastic food. I had the Smoked Salmon Frittata and my coworker had the Huevos Rancheros and both were fantastic! And here is the thing: They actually have interesting items on their menu. I now have to go back because I HAVE to try: the Lulu Burger with brie cheese and apples, the Duck Prosciutto Sub, and the various desserts, like Coconut Flan. Service was quick and professional, my coffee cup stayed full, and the prices were pretty good. 5/5 read more

I was out with my boyfriend and we decided to stop here for lunch. To my surprise they have a few vegan options ( yayyyy). I was unsure what to order but our waitress Robin was very helpful. I ordered the lentil burger and my boyfriend had the duck sub. The lentil burger was good and filling. I took the other half home. My boyfriend only had one complaint about his sandwich. He said it was a tad bit on the salty side. Overall we will back to visit as we enjoyed our visit. read more

We have been supporting this local establishment for a few years now. I'm not sure who is in charge now but the last few times we have gone it's been less then satisfying. So sad to see. We won't be back.

Love this place. Downtown vibe in the south side. Love the music. I think they play "So you're in your 50's but listened to cool music in the 80's". read more

Normally this place rocks. The specials are amazing, albeit fleeting, and the stand-bys are solid performers. Today, I admit, was a swing and a miss. We came in and were feeling like a nibble or two with our drinks. Our waitress was kind enough to recommend an appetizer to share, and we got the nachos as we were told they're really good. Not so much. Just chips with a ton of shredded Monterey jack and guacamole for $9. It was a bummer. We went to IHOP for something more fulfilling. read more

Galley - A+ on cheese quantity. D- for everything else. And remember folks, $9.00. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Good food but our service blew. Between forgotten drinks, not having silverware, our daughter's forgotten grilled cheese, and having a forgotten drink end up on the bill, I give the service an F. I will cut them some slack since it was their first Sat night service and we were there @ 6:15. We'll give it another month or so and give it another try. The food was great. The Cuban lived up to my expectations. The chicken fried steak was good, too, although a little under seasoned. We'll definitely give it another shot and just hope that the service gets much better. Great space and decor. Limited kids menu. Breakfast served all day. read more

Last time I was there I went out on a limb and dried the eggplant parm special. No noodles. I hesitate to do this at non-Italian restaurants for the obvious reasons, but it sounded amazing to me at the time. I was not disappointed. The eggplant was thick and tender, but not over done. The sauce was hearty and full of flavor. While this won't replace the other noteworthy Italian spots in town, I loved that our little southside diner stepped up to the plate and delivered. Bottom line for ordering at Galley: if you're tempted...order it. read more

A larger group of us (six) stopped at Galley for lunch last Saturday, and were glad they had a large spacious table to accommodate us during COVID. The space is cute and inviting, but the staff was not. I'm not sure if they were shorthanded, but we sat for a long time before they took our orders, and someone from our group had to flag a server down to do so. The food also took longer than expected to arrive, and most things we asked for were not available. One of our friends ordered steak and eggs, and was told no type of steak sauce was available, and although the restaurant had a pretty standard breakfast menu, they did not offer simple things like toast or home fries. I ordered the eggs benny, and was asked how I wanted my eggs cooked. I asked for the traditional poached, which is how eggs Benedict should be served, and was told poached was not an option. If you're asking me how I want my eggs cooked, poached should be an option. The good news is the food was good. I opted for sunny side up, and my eggs benny were actually very delicious. The rest of the table, who ordered a mix of breakfast food and lunch sandwiches, also had good meals. We split a $15 pitcher of mimosas, a good deal for the amount of drinks we got out of it. I'd go back for the atmosphere, food, and mimosas, but I hope the poor service was the result of a bad day and not their norm. read more

I love to write great reviews and the majority of the ones I do are good . But this place begs for a not so good one . I sent a message to the restaurant. No reply at all . When you ask what an item is and they don't even tell you it has an egg in it , then the egg is nearly raw , it's troubling . Then no one comes to the table to ask how everything is . I see they have a lot of great reviews but also quite a few saying the service was bad and similar to what I encountered . So it must be hit or miss . I felt as if we were kind of not really even there . read more

A very nice chill atmosphere. Would definitely go again to try their breakfast options out. I had the meatball appetizer which comes with 4 meatballs , salad and bread. It was really good. The meatballs were juicy and the sauce was good as well. Calamari was pretty good as well, my friend and I shared that. The wings were okay, not amazing but not bad, just okay. Our waitress had a lot of positive energy to her and was really nice, attentive. read more

I'd been to Galley quite a few times when they first opened but it had sort of fallen off my radar until last Tuesday afternoon when I needed a mid afternoon snack and was in the neighborhood. I remembered that the sandwiches were BIG so my friend and I shared a French Dip. It was HUGE! and DELICIOUS! Lots of tasty roast beef, melty provalone cheese and roasted red peppers on a warm, toasy bun. As our side, we had the apple fennel slaw which was crispy and cool. The perfect accompaniment to the hearty sandwich. Although we didn't need it, I also added a cup of poblano, white bean and bacon soup. It was a large cup and very good. I'm glad I gave this local gem another try and look forward to a dinner there.... Pasta, perhaps.... read more

Everyone has been saying such great things about the Galley and I finally did get to check it out. The food was actually very good and they have a nice drink selection. But it has that diner feel and you will most likely come out smelling like grease. I was expecting a little nicer I guess because it has become a popular hangout in the west over hills neighborhood. So it has a lot going for it food wise and location wise. Just don't go in I guess expecting this cool new bar. Go in expecting a great local hangout. read more

Cute little place with an eclectic menu. Went with my vegetarian sister. While there were a lot of items on the menu, there were only a few that peaked my interest. I went with the Dill Tuna on a pita with fries. It was really good. I was a little afraid it may be overly dilly, but it wasn't at all. My sister got the Hummus Pita. There was a ton of Hummus on there, a little too much for her taste so she just scooped some off. The fries were good, I probably ate more than I should. The place was packed. Totally had a line out the door by the time we finished up. I almost felt badly for the waitress beause when we got there it looked like everyone else had just sat down, too (meaning everyone wanted menus and drinks at the same time). She handled it well and we weren't in a hurry anyway. read more

I had fish tacos. They are respectable for sure; made with Mahi & served on a corn tortilla. The rice & beans that accompany the plate are bland; would prolly recommend an alternate side. My son had the meatball sub & onion rings; both were quite good. All in all, a pretty solid joint. Would I drive out of my way to come here? No, but the place is most def a decent option on this side of town. read more
