    Went to Hondos for lunch today. They have 12 lunch specials under $12. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety. The service was wonderful and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is very nice, it is a little more upscale than most restaurants. For today's visit I had the meatloaf. I am not a fan of most restaurants meatloaf. This meatloaf was very excellent and was not full of fillers. This lunch menu is full of great choices and I can't wait to go back and try something else.

    I came during lunch and they had a lunch special menu where I ended up ordering the grilled salmon ($17). Food came out in about 15 minutes and it was quite good. The seasoning was excellent while also not being overly salty. It was quite moist, and the salmon split apart with ease with a fork. The vegetables were sautéed very well. The mashed potato was super smooth and buttery. A very balanced meal for lunch that filled me up without weighing me down afterwards. Staff and service were above average just took a bit of time to get the check and bill paid for. Overall I was surprised by the lunch special offerings as it was super affordable and delicious! Food(50%): 8.8 Staff/service(25%): 7.5 Value(25%): 9.0 Overall: 8.5/10

    Seafood Bisque - so flavorful with tons of crabmeat
    P.K. S.

    Couldn't have asked for a better dinner at Hondo's. Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance was 10 out of 10. We had a company holiday celebration, so our party was rather large, therefore we opted/were offered the pre-fixed "Celebration Menu"/course dinner. The Appetizer Platters One and Three were amazing - SO much food for our table that we were all pretty full by the time our first course came. The fried calamari and crab cakes were cooked to perfection. The ahi tuna and lemon pepper scallops were also uniquely fantastic. We each had plenty to take home from just these two platters. I opted for the seafood bisque soup (SO tasty with chunks of crab) and Caesar salad (nothing special). The chocolate torte dessert was basically a giant piece of fudge - creamy and delicious. The whipped butter, however, was the pièce de résistance. If I could buy a bulk order of that butter, I would pay an unreasonable amount for it. Nick was also a wonderful, patient, and attentive host and waiter to us all. Thanks Hondo's!

    My wife and I made reservations here for a special occasion. We were seated on arrival and the overall service was very good. There was a long delay from being seated to actually getting drinks... but after that it went well. We both ordered steaks(of course). The steaks were good but honestly not what we thought based on the bill total. We will probably go back and try again but maybe after we try a few other steak spots in the area.

    Unfortunately, I our experience and expectations fell short. The food was ok. The service was good. The restaurant is laid out nicely and the bathrooms were clean. Slow to get mixed drinks. Overall most of the meal was tasteless. The bone in filet was cooked medium rare and tender but fell short on flavor. Wine selection was good. Very expensive meal for an experience. I called it up as a great dinner with family and that is priceless. The best and most flavorful part of the meal was the haystack onion rings. I wish I could have been a bit more satisfied with the flavors. Just simply bland.

    We went to Hondo's for my dad's birthday. We all ordered the filet mignon cooked different temps and all were cooked to perfection. Since my parents split a steak, we added more side dishes. One side dish is enough for 2 healthy portions or 3 decent size portions so it worked great. We got the garlic mashers, asparagus and some mixed veggies. The garlic mashed potatoes were my favorite followed by the asparagus. The steak was heavenly. Then they brought this poundcake desert out for my dad. I'm not sure which impressed him more, the steak or the special dessert. We will definitely be back!

    For special occasions, our top choice for a steakhouse in Richmond is Hondo's. We also have a favorite server named Jeff, who always enhances our experience. Every visit is consistently perfect--fine dining at its finest. We're never disappointed!

    Got to check this place out while in VA for Father's Day weekend. We happened to go on a Sunday which is when they host their Jazz Brunch. It's pretty extensive buffet brunch and there were a lot of yummy food options. I tried stuffed french toast, grits, scrambled eggs made by chef attendant, biscuits, lamb, gnocchi, ribs, and some type of cake with fruit in it for dessert. I also ordered a bloody mary. Whew! LOL, that sounds like so much food. It was a buffet so I just got small portions of all of this and indulged. Everything was really delicious! My favorites were the stuffed french toast and the gnocchi dish. These were just really well prepared and yummy. I enjoyed all the different options and layout. One complaint is that the placement for the omelette station is very awkward and causes a major pileup constantly in the main entrace area. It was pretty hectic and very busy to get around in that area. Overall, it was well worth the traffic. I got to try so much food and I'd go back!

    We came here for a birthday dinner. I received a gift of one free entree. What a great deal. Started with the seafood bisque. It is filled with delicious crab. A great bisque. The bread is great and the butter is flavored with honey. Really good. The house salad is great. It has blue cheese and carrots and cucumbers with several types of greens. I had the balsamic dressing. Also great. Spouse had the Caesar salad. Which he enjoyed Our server is Josh. Excellent service. the ribeye steak was excellent. Dessert is next. I got the chocolate torte and spouse got the cheesecake. Served on one plate to say happy birthday. Desserts were great.

    Warm welcomes and elegant atmosphere are first impressions when walking in, our waiter was attentive and very helpful as there were lots of great appetizers to choose from and main courses as well. Everything came out hot and on time( very important) during the meal. All in all, a great dining experience and would recommend it for everyone.

The salad bar was decent, though I wish there were more options. The meats, however, were flavorful and cooked exactly how I wanted. The highlights of the night were definitely the picanha and the lamb chops -- both were excellent. The top sirloin was okay but could use a bit more flavor compared to the others. Service really stood out. They were kind enough to accommodate a group of 23 people, including 5 kids, without a reservation, which we truly appreciated. Our server was very attentive and patient, and the staff delivering the meats were quick and extremely accommodating. They happily gave us extra slices when we asked, and sometimes they came by so fast we could barely keep up! Overall, I highly recommend this steakhouse.

If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.
