This a little hole in the wall place that reminds me of a house house party my uncle would be at. They get busy and a little loud. I stopped by for take out and the lady taking orders over the phone was having a super hard time hearing people because it was so loud which is super unfortunate for her and their customers. I was tempted to get the chicken and waffles but didn't want it to be cold when I got home so I opted for chicken tenders and fries. The food didn't take terribly long. While there I was able to hear the dj playing. There was a mix of r&b, go go and rap. No complaints there, it's an old school kind of vibe. They have a bar and do $5 drinks during what I assume is their happy hour. Got home, popped open the white box to reveal puny little chicken tenders and unseasoned fries. The tenders had a gritty taste to them. They aren't heavily breaded at all... it's kinda like someone sprinkled some bread crumbs on some chicken and called it a day. I definitely wouldn't try this again. Apparently the wings are good here but they don't have my go to garlic parm so I haven't tried wings from here. read more

The food here is phenomenal. I ordered the wings plus some ribs. Their ribs were juicy and tender and theyy had so many great flavors for their wings. However, I would say the only bad part of my experience there would be the cleanliness of the place. My table was very sticky when wee first sat down their and their booths aren't as clean as it should. read more

Really good place! You get a lot of GOOD food for the low! I've been twice and I've ordered the wings both times & they were really good. I've also had the fried shrimp and French fries, both really good as well! read more

I went here for lunch with two of my coworkers. One of them has suggested we check the place out.. I was rather skeptical. I ordered the chicken tender because I felt if you mess up chicken tenders then there's no going back. Man those tenders were quite delicious. I got the sanchez sauce which was good just a little too salty for me. Both of my coworkers enjoyed their meals and we will all be returning for more. read more

Nothing like a spot with superior chicken and waffles but a rude ass staff! I mean literally had to ask for silverware and when I did the waitress kinda rolled her eyes! She took our order and served our food and only checked on us once ridiculous but outside that I would give them four stars the chicken waffle tenders served up in 3 sandwich style was FABULOUS...I think I try them again during the day shift!.....also I've had plenty of chicken and waffles in Richmond $9.50 is definitely unbeatable!...my rating is based of staff just terrible!.....oh forgot to mention the creepy bartender who sat at one of the table facing us and just stared like the end of his days! read more

The funnel cake and mini chicken sliders were good. Food prices are very reasonable. $5 drink specials for margaritas and long islands. Ciroc shots are $9. Service is so so... Yelp says this place closes at midnight on Saturdays, but it actually stays open until 2am. read more

I enjoy coming to this restaurant... the wings are pretty good "dirty bird" are the best! I also enjoy the clams and fish as well! On Thursdays and Saturday nights they have Karaoke and that's when the fun begins... the crowd is mixed but you have to get in early to catch a good seat. I threw my boys birthday party here and they were very accommodating with making food platters and creating specials for drinks the entire night in his honor. I would def suggest checking J.R. Crickets out! read more

We try to support all black restuarants but be realistic, when we go out we spend money and we love to eat we order the 4 different menu items as and with the tray that cost $15 dollars it sho was missing the chicken tenders its bag enuff u have to pay extras for seasoning the chicken I guess I have to eat the shit plain with no breader read more

They tried to bring the down south to Virginia. It was a horrible job. The wings are underseason or over seasoned. The ribs has too much sodium and are always tough. I thought ribs should be tender and fall off the bone. The prices are ridiculous. The staff. Well the staff is just horrible. No one greeted me. No one checked on me. The food is for people who are hungry and haven't had really good food before. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

J.R. Crickets RVA - Tough and cold - American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I treated this place like home for 4 years, tipped well and dropped lots of cash at least twice a week and was repeatedly disappointed in the food and eventually the service. The staff are doing their best, however the distrustful owner failed to pay his bills or trust his employees. I wanted horribly to spread the word about this spot, but when a patron sees the dream more than the owner, what's a sista to do. Sorry for your luck. For those of you who worked there, you know what I mean. All the best!, Noomi read more

Cool vibe as soon as you walk in. Though the establishment has an open setting this place is inviting. The staff is so down to earth that watching the game at the bar is almost like being at the cool uncles house on game night. I recommend and as a matterfact I may be there when you arrive. First round of wings are on you though..... read more

I've been here twice and I love the wings I'm not big on spicy food so I try the lemon pepper dry rub and the dirty South wings. They both are my favorites. Now would definitely go back again and the prices aren't bad at all . read more

Ordered the Chicken fingers with Honey Mustard online. It was delivered cold and w/o the sauce. I'm not going to make a big deal over not getting sauce but I did contact GrubHub (who I ordered through) to get a partial refund. GrubHub called the restaurant and was told that the honey mustard is not part menu - never mind that their online menu clearly shows it. (And I've ordered this same thing from them several times before) I'm not going to quibble over honey mustard, guys. But the food was cold anyway and the chicken was dry. Maybe dine-in is better, but they need to update their online menu if they are filling orders to items that don't exist? Won't order from them again. The fries were like cold little grubs.... read more

The service here was great. The bartender was on point with the drinks; however, the chicken was not my favorite. We tried 4 different types and didn't like any of them really due to all of them being really salty or the sauces not really being a major difference. Even still the atmosphere and the service made up for it... our waitress / DJ was great. read more

I went here for the first time today, and even though I always drive by I must admit I have never been attracted to it. I went with someone else out of curiosity. The prices are pretty decent, but that's probably because the food quality is not there. I ordered chicken and waffles, and it took so long for the food to come out. I also wanted cheese fries but they were out of the cheese for it but I settled for regular fries. My food was warm, not hot at all. The waffle was like the kind you make yourself at a hotel breakfast. The wings were dry and skimpy. The service was not the greatest. I didn't hear a hello when I walked in. But the bartender was sweet. Anyways...I won't be back lol. read more

Excellent wings and excellent music! DJ comes Thurs-Sat and they play hip hop, r&b, rap, and go-go. The wings taste amazing, well seasoned! Customer service is great as well! Our server was so nice and informative of the menu and made great suggestions! I enjoyed my experience! read more

The food is delicious and i received my order real quickly will recommend this place to someone else

Dank food. Wings are my hangover cure and they got the best. I always get the lemon pepper wet. 10 bucks for amazing wings and fries is good too. it's a lil dirty, my order gets over charged sometimes and the waitress does nothing about it when I ask. Also a waitress handed me a fork holding the prongs and I'm a germ freak. But besides that this place is so good and I highly recommend it. I took my boys and they said next time they are downtown we're going back. Can't wait for some more wings next week read more

I'm not gonna lie. The show ATL and the 'lemon pepper wet' got me in the door, and the dirty bird flavor will have me returning for more. My brother told me the spot from the show ATL has opened a #RVA location, so I had to go. I called my order in and it was ready when I got there. The lemon pepper wings were pretty good...I thought the buffalo wings were average. But the dirty bird flavor...it's hard to describe but it's good. Like a combo of bbq, a little bit of heat, and a Touch ID teriyaki. It was awesome. I will be returning and dining in next time. read more

This is very much a hole in the spot. Their fries aren't the best, but their chicken and waffles are a vibe. I got the chicken breast option and it was HUGE and very filling. Personally, I've had normal interactions with the staff. They were pretty nice to me, so I would come back again for the chicken and waffles. read more

Came here for dinner after a competition. The food was good. Parking was scarce and our server was a little slow. Otherwise not a bad place

The wings I ordered for delivery were hard and dry and 5 pieces short. I couldn't taste the sauce on my wings over the salt and as an added bonus I ended up with food poisoning. Never again. read more

Down home spot with good wings and great music. Parking is a bit of a hassle but worth the drink specials. Get it early because it may fill up before you realize it. A lot of wing flavors to choose from read more

This was hands-down one of my best experiences in Richmond for wings! A friend and I were in the mood for something as close as the wings we had gotten in Atlanta during a recent trip. There was a very specific flavor we were on the hunt for - a unique blend of buffalo and lemon pepper wings. I haven't been able to find this anywhere in Richmond until visiting J.R. crickets RVA. Simply put don't waste your time going anywhere else make sure you plan to visit the spot! When we first walked in, there was a great music wonderful vibes and a smiling face at the door to greet us. We were seated quickly and our server was absolutely amazing grabbing our drink order and walking us through the menu answering any questions we had. We ordered the Lemon Pepper Wet = buffalo wings tossed in dry rub lemon pepper. We also ordered a Caesar salad and multiple drinks. Whenever I think of wings, an urban vibe and great drinks, this is where I go - hands down! read more

Security greeted us at the door and was pleasant. The server wasn't as pleasant but she wasn't bad. Until she asked a lady to pay for the entire bill of someone else because she didnt want to split it (her words). The prices are very affordable. The fries were flavorless. The mild wings weren't too saucy or dry. The margarita tasted of mostly juice. read more

How delicious! Really friendly staff as well. Would definitely come back for food or to catch a game.

Placed a simple order of 3 items and they couldn't even get that right. Told the manager I will never order again and she said "ok". Customer service at it's finest. SMH. NEVER AGAIN read more

Now, the food is good, but the service is horrible. I've called to complain about Ashley not sure if anything was done about it. Being charged for eight drinks when you had four is never okay. I did dispute it with my bank and showed them the receipt I got vs the one she wanted me to sign. It was so obvious. Again great food, but it doesn't matter when people are trying to hip you. read more

Do NOT ever order pickup or delivery (ubereats) from this place. Your food will be stored in a very unsanitary area by the door, with no heating element nor any insulation. They store it on top of what looks like an old drink machine, in paper boxes. This is a serious issue and I'd like to see what a health inspector would think of this place. In addition I received a completely different order, and my interaction with the first two ladies in the pickup area seemed to be negative as if it was my fault I got the wrong order, and the wings were overcooked and tough from having almost completely cooled after cooking by the time I got there. It was an absolute nightmare of an experience as I was hosting a gathering, ordered ubereats, and received the wrong order 2 hours later that I had to go pick up myself. read more

It was ok the environment was cool but the food wasn't all that good. I asked for hot wings with buffalo sauce and they gave me the wings without the sauce i had to remind the server that i needed sauce on my wings. The menu is packed but i wouldn't recommend the wings read more

This place was awesome!!! The food was good the drinks were good the only thing that I would really complain about is when it's really busy it's hard for your server to keep up with your food and drink order. I really enjoyed the karaoke night that we had at this location is was very fun. read more

the freshest waffle i've ever had, and what I'm going to claim as the first time I've ever actually had real buffalo wings... all at 10:02pm. read more

great wings ! Lemon pepper wet and dirty bird are my favorites. Great customer service and food is always ready when promised. Flat screens and bar great for catching any sports game! read more

I would have to say me and my family decided to try JR Crickets because they were new to RVA area but little did we know that was such a big mistake. It was a party of 7 and we were seated immediately upon arrival because there was literally only 3 people there for dinner. We first placed our drink order and it took forever to get our drinks. We then asked to place an appetizer order and we ordered the buffalo wings and fries. The buffalo wings where not good at all and the fries was not very hot and seasoned. Of course, we were still waiting on our drink order. There was no silverware on the table and no plates to eat off of. We then asked for silverware twice and it took her about 15 minutes to bring that. She seemed to be very upset when we asked again. When she finally brought the silverware it was only plasticware. My daughter ordered ribs and they were so tough she couldn't even eat them. My grandson wanted chicken and waffle and she said they had no waffles because the waffle machine was broke. I ordered the buffalo shrimp. The shrimp was good but there was only 6 very small salad sizes. By the time we all finished picking through our food we were just about done. The ticket then arrived and they charged us almost double and got mad when we questioned the items and amount. They charged us almost $300 for a $125.00 meal. I will never go here again. Watch your receipt and credit card if you go. They put in false charges if you don't look clearly. read more
