To me this is a quintessential small business and owned local joint. I happen to be in the area and was curious to check it out and I'm glad I did! I ordered turkey wings which were season to perfection and so good. I will definitely be back to get another order of those really soon. I also had an opportunity to just chat with the staff and they were very down home, genuine and good folks. This place has been there for 60 years and that's amazing for a black-owned small business and restaurant, so kudos to them. Keep serving up good food. This isn't your typical eat-in but that's okay. Call ahead. Place your order or stop in and just pick it up and you will be set. read more

Hawks Fish & BBQ - Fried trout, fries, sweet tea. - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

When I visit Richmond from Dallas, this is my first stop when I leave the airport! My family already knows that I will see them after I stop by Hawks and they never disappoints!! I can always count on fresh trout and sides. The sweet tea sets my tastebuds on fire! It was just the right amount of sweetness to accompany the fish. This time my niece got a side of the delicious and hot french fries but I didn't I just wanted fish. I was greeted with courtesy and friendly hospitality. The new location is clean and very spacious. I definitely will continue to patronize this business whenever I'm in town and refer others!! (This picture was taken in the dark car) read more

Hawks Fish & BBQ - 3pc Trout no sides - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Unhappy, we told them no hot sauce on one sandwich and it was still hot. Then, when we got home, we realized that there was a purposeful overcharge in the bill. If you add you bill you will see that the total comes out to an incorrect amount. It is actually hidden in the billing. read more

We love this place for its consistency and price!! Cant go wrong with the bbq. Ive also tried the party wings with the sauce?! 10/10. Is it better than Ronnie's? No. But Hawk's is open more and rarely runs out! Could definitely see them sticking around for the long read more

Food was the best!... all freshly cooked ... worth the wait. small spot with one seating table They were super busy and I noticed the place never smelled like fish or smoke from all the frying. Ten out of Ten!! read more

Delicious fried fish! I got the 3 piece dinner with mac n cheese and greens for $15.99 and it was all good.

This is my first taste of Hawk's and it was quite delicious. I decided to splurge nd get the trout rather than the whiting. I LOVE trout. Upon opening the container (it was delivered) I took one piece out and put it on a plate. I picked it up (yes, I eat fish with my hands like a French fry) and took a bite. It was absolutely yummy, as was the potato salad and Cole slaw. I would go back again nd I would get the trout. read more

The best fried trout in town. Excellent dessert such as chocolate cake. Very good service online and in house.

Not fancy food hot nothing special just get fish I like the other one not south side honestly

I wanted the fish, shrimp, and chicken dinner. They didnt have shrimp. Fine. The collar greens were tender but very sweet. The mac & cheese had good flavor but was dry. The fish was amazing. The chicken wasnt anything special. It did come with bread that was grill and delicious. Lastly the customer service was below average. Slow moving cashiers that were not rude but not pleasant. read more

Great down home quaint restaurant. They offer a small area for dine in ,quick customer service. Great fresh fish. The side dishes could improve. Great deals on lunch specials. They used to give more bread with the fish but seemed to cut back. Cashiers are always friendly. If you go during rush hour , prepare to wait for a while for your food. Fresh cakes are available to enjoy. I love the chocolate, cake is moist but would like my icing to be a big chocolatier tasting. Overall great place to eat besides seeing the equipment and material on the sides of the store. It's an eyesore and should be kept in the back. read more

Hawks Fish & BBQ - a close up of a piece of cloth - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My HOA brought this in as a food truck during the COVID-19 lockdown. We ordered the family pack of fried fish (whiting). The fish was very good and my wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law all enjoyed it (they ate it with rice). The French fries were battered and nice and crispy. My mother-in-law also had the BBQ pork sandwich and said it was ok. The kids also enjoyed the hot dogs and fries. We also got the mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was very cheesy but my kids didn't like it as much as my wife did. I didn't try it. The kids are kraft Mac and cheese people. We would definitely go back for the fried fish and french fries. We are already planning a trip to their Williamsburg road location for some fried fish. read more

I ordered 30 pieces of trout and bread. This was absolutely terrible fried fish. i have never seen fish served with this amount of bones, spine, and fin still attached. It's like no one took time to actually prepare the fish. This is supposed to be a fillet not a whole fish so this makes no sense. The worst part is that the fish looked like it had plenty of seasoning, but no flavor whatsoever. The little flavor that it did have on the crispy parts tasted like chicken grease. if i didnt live over 20 mins away i would bring it back for a refund. But instead after picking apart 5 pieces we will just throw the other 25 pieces in the trash and cook food at home tonight. Hawks has a great reputation in Richmond so we decided to finally come here and we are truly sorry that it didnt live up to the hype because we eat out on most weekends and love soul food at black owned businesses. read more

I had the fried fish, green beans, and a slice of their cake. Everything was awesome. I know some of the smaller places that serve fried fish use their oil way too long and the end result is fish thats too fishy or has a burnt taste. Hawks on Williamsburg road didnt have that issue when I visited them and I can definitely appreciate that. The staff was really friendly as well. Keep up the good work! read more

Good food- I was satisfied with delivery and pickup. I also appreciate the ladies down there that fry up that delicious fish, like my Grand momma used to make ! read more

Yes. Hawks fish from what I remember as a kid the fish was really awesome the service was great and they even had six specials going at this time I ended up with the lake trout which was awesome it was kind of hard driving and picking up the bones the same time but the little cups of hot sauce made it work and it was really hot read more

I grew up getting a Hawks, I love there too and our family history with this restaurant. So glad to see they are still here supporting our community. I hope you are around serving your delicious food for a long time yo come. read more

Nice, friendly staff. The best barbq in town..seriously. The best worst place to go when you are HANGRY. I think I ordered everything off the menu..they're that good! Oh well it's been a while! read more

This is the Williamsburg Rd location I really believe that Integrity is the most important thing in a successful business. Don't eat at this ghetto ratchet false advertising don't have but three things on a full menu of food don't change the grease but once a week place they don't deserve any stars but Yelp makes you give them at least one #hatedit read more

I have never ate at any Hawks location today was my first time there. I am definitely not ever coming back. I just ordered a crabcake sandwich they didn't put anything on. It was high priced and plain. I could have made this crap myself and saved my money. When I called the store and advised they said it's extra for condiments. What did I pay for? read more

Outstanding food with professional service. I will definitely be back. The family pack fish is a great value.

This restaurant does not want your business. They would not honor a valid, current Groupon and did not care if I came to their business or not. Glad I called before I made the drive. read more
