I have had a new tradition over the past three weeks. I go to Lakeside Deli every Thursday and have…read morethe Chopped Cheese sandwich and an order of fries. For those of you who are unfamiliar with a chopped cheese sandwich, let me break it down for you. A chopped cheese sandwich is when a burger is cooked steak and cheese style and put on a hoagie roll. This sounds like it should be a simple concept but so many sandwiches fall short of hitting the mark. THIS ONE DOES NOT! The meat on this sandwich is cooked wonderfully. The seasoning is perfect. The temperature is excellent. It's juicy and not any way overcooked. It smells amazing as soon as you open the bag. The fries are also a sticking point for me. They are golden brown and have just the right amount of salt and crunch to them without being dried out. My lunch is always really in minutes and I enjoy talking to the owner while I wait. He always greets me with a smile and makes my business feel appreciated. There are several other menu options but I am so smitten with this one that I have not ventured to try anything else.

I stopped in for a couple of sandwiches at just the right time! I ordered a cheesesteak hoagie and…read morea tuna salad sandwich after visiting the Lakeside farmer's market nearby. The owner was so pleasant and kind, and allowed me to make modifications to the sandwiches. It took about 10 minutes for them to be prepared fresh, and in that time, so many other folks flooded into the store to order too! It was great to see how popular they were, given that the sandwiches were excellent. It's close by, so I plan to return soon.

We came in for Sunday brunch around owning time. We were promptly seated and our server was…read morewonderful. I got the steak and eggs. My steak was cooked medium rare as I ordered and the poached eggs I asked for were cooked to perfection. They ask how you'd like them cooked. My friend got the breakfast plate. My daughter got the kids cheeseburger that came with fries and an apple juice box. The fries were perfectly crispy. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts which were seasoned well. Everything was delicious!

The place has a cool retro feel that makes it stand out and feel comfortable. The prices are also reasonable, which makes it a great spot to grab a good meal without spending too much. I would definitely recommend Pop's Dogs & Ma's Burgers!

We loved the original in WV and were excited that there was one in Richmond. Sat at the bar and had…read morefun people watching. Started with Brussels and they were some of the best that I've ever had. We ordered the Rose Marie and Truman. Both delicious and filling. Good draft list and interesting cocktails. Service was great and noise levels weren't as loud as I expected from other reviews

What a disappointment. Service was good, but very forgetful. Just think he was new…read more Food was disappointing. Fried Brussel sprouts with hot honey/balsamic/ feta were average. Not much flavor. Kids chicken strips were a chicken patty that was overcooked and cut up. Also came out lukewarm at best. The Rueben was soggy and had about three slices of meat on it. Very little sauce on the sandwich no and was charged for extra when I asked for more. Added the Parmesan truffle fries which were powered Parmesan with some truffle oil sprinkled on top. Again all lukewarm. The Timberwolf burger had maybe two jalapeño's on it and the onions were burnt. The regular burgers and kids are the same size. Housemade pickles were soggy and the cucumber skins were tough. The quality of food from when we had eaten here a couple years ago was subpar in comparison. If you are going to charge for upscale items then they need to be upscale in the quality of what you are serving. Will not be back.

For the love of all things holy, why haven't you been to Chiocca's?…read moreMuseum District staple. I'm of the opinion that Richmond in general suffers from too few legit, awesome sandwich spots. Chiocca's makes me forget about that. Small, intimate space. Obvious regulars (always a good sign, and I always notice). Killer freakin sandwiches. And they're getting cranked out in a small "kitchen" with a Salamander oven (maybe they have 2 now, but who cares?). Nice beer selection. Stop reading. Go get a dang sandwich. Maybe a Son of the Beast! Who's to say?!

Spectacular service. Cool VIBE. Generous portions. Looks old inside but soooo cool. Food is great…read more Fresh bread, toasted sub. We got The Beast. Really fresh veg. And he cooks the meat to order . Great flavor. I paired it with Two Silos cream ale on tap. Yummm. Fantastic choice. Bathrooms look a little ruff but they are CLEAN. Just a graffiti vibe. I'm glad I found this place.

This past Thursday evening, the gals and I shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio and the shrimp fried green tomatoes. For my entree, I opted for the mushroom tortellini which was phenomenal. The pesto cream sauce was velvety and delicious! Our server was attentive and fun! Definitely a great place to enjoy the patio if the weather is nice!

We decided to come to Hobnob for brunch and had been here before, so we were excited since my…read morebrother was visiting from abroad and was craving southern food. The staff was kind enough to seat us earlier than our original reservation, which was a really nice touch and much appreciated. I was also happy to see a decent number of gluten-free options. While the main dishes are a bit limited, most of the sides are gluten-free. Now for the food, the crispy chicken sandwich was the highlight of the meal. The Smashburger was also delicious. I ordered the rockfish without the bun, while my dad had it with the bun, and both were great. The beet salad was fresh and flavorful, and the fries were solid. The mac & cheese, unfortunately, was not good at all. On the plus side, the hot cider was delicious. Desserts were a bit of a mixed thoughts. The bread pudding was definitely the best one we tried and really enjoyable. However, the chocolate peanut butter pie was a big disappointment. It was extremely hard and cold (not pie texture), the peanut butter wasn't creamy at all, and it honestly tasted more like a protein bar loaded with sugar. The crust also tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for a while--disappointing. Overall, we still enjoyed our visit and many of the dishes were great, but the dessert experience could definitely be improved.

We had the 1/2 Tony and the 1/2 Pastrami Reuben. Both were delicious and overflowing with meat…read more It does take a little bit to get the food (we ordered to go) but it was worth the wait. Will definitely be back.

It's like Perly's had a kid, sent them to VCU, and they opened a restaurant…read more The cauliflower appetizer was surprisingly good. The florets stayed crispy, the whipped feta, chilies, and pomegranate made an unexpectedly pleasant combo. The Reuben was well executed. The bread retained its sturdiness instead of the normal sponge like qualities you might find with other Reubens around town. The meat was melt in your mouth tender and every bite contained components of the sandwich, rather than the usual wrestling match of sliced meat in your mouth. The service was meh. It's counter service with sit down restaurant prices. Here's the funny thing: you are given a number for food to be delivered to your table. The waitress puts the food down on your table and directs you to a rolling cart where plates, napkins, etc. are BUT the waitress has to pass the rolling cart to bring you your food. Could we have not received appetizer plates and silverware when we checked out and were handed our drinks? I don't think anyone can get excited about Jason's Deli type service at lunch at Lemaire prices. If I had to choose a good time to suggest going to Susie's, go to Happy Hour on a sunny day and sit out on the patio

On my most recent visit, I purchased quite a bit of imported pastries trying to find ones my 96-year-old grandmother would enjoy.

Very filling and lots of bread. But honestly, their in-house pasta and sauce is off the chain. I got the Sausage Ragu and it's a great meal for the family. I think when I pass through I'll pick up some so I don't have to cook. But I didn't stop there, the sandwiches are on point. I got the New Orleans and the Not Soprano. These were awesome too. In fact they were my favorite. Lastly, I received kind and welcoming customer service. They take pride in their treatment of their customers and the food they make. I appreciate this spot. I will be back when I pass through Richmond again.
