2 Egg Breakfast w a biscuit, bacon, and hashbrowns
Lori W.

I came here for breakfast last weekend and it was really good. The service was awesome and so was the ambiance. We sat at the bar and I ordered the Serrano Bloody Mary which was to die for. I had 2 eggs over easy w bacon, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. I would definitely come back.

This was my first time eating here. We met a friend there at their recommendation. We went on a Saturday night and the wait was about 15-20 min but we were at the bar so the time passed quickly. We had salads and a pizza. Both were very good. My understanding is that they make their own sauce. The parking is street only but we did not have an issue at all. The waitress was good and we enjoyed our visit. Afterwards, we walked around a coupld of the blocks by the restaurant. That was also very interesting. Lots of old houses with historical markers from the early 1900's

We love this place. We've been coming here for over 40 years. A social yummy restaurant that serves everything with great passion. A Richmond icon.

Chicken Parmigiana

the food here was sooo good not pictured was the pancake i ordered definitely one of the better ones i've had in the city. the service was lovely all the people who took care of us were sweet, caring and they always have good personalities. the ambiance was nice not too crowded for a wednesday night and they're open decently late so that's nice. overall me and my partner are always happy when we come here and it always fills us up

Chicken tenders app and mac and cheese
Khristen H.

Right when we walked into Joe's Inn, it was packed. I expected to wait a long time for a table, but a server flagged us over right away. I've always heard about Joe's Inn, but I never had the chance to try it until now. Our waitress greeted us and took our drink order quickly. I could tell it was going to be fast-paced service, which I love. After our drinks arrived, we were ready to order everything. We started with the mac and cheese and the chicken tenders appetizer. For our entrees, we ordered the regular burger with a side salad and the chicken parm pasta. It took around 15-20 minutes for our entrees to come out, but the time flew by as our waitress brought us salad and their signature bread with butter. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely have to go back for their esteemed happy hour or brunch.

Classic Club Sandwich
Paola B.

I absolutely LOVE this place. What a hidden gem. They have HUGE portions, a cozy inside, great drinks, and the sweetest service!! I will always actively seek this place out, the food is delicious and has really great prices. I've ordered pastas, salads, sandwiches, etc., and it has ALL been good. If you go, consider getting the coconut cream pie! I dream about it

A'Yanna E.

Delicious crab cakes, steamed broccoli, and green beans. Loved that they serve cinnamon butter with the sweet potato. The server Kels was lovely! Such a wonderful personality. The steak tips were ordered medium but they seemed well done which was not satisfying. The green beans were different (called Greek with tomato added) but tasty. The complimentary bread wasn't special. Service was fast and prices were good. Go, enjoy!

Pan Fried Chicken Livers with 2 sides
Sarah D.

Real country girls KNOW it's hard to find chicken livers that are good and this delivered. Was skeptical because it wasn't served with gravy but the sides and portions were phenomenal! Will be back to try everything on the menu, the appetizers and sandwich I tried was amazing. Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating.

Club Sandwich
Grisel L.

We were in a sandwich mood and decided to try Joe's. For starters, it has plenty of parking. Once inside, you can sit wherever you want. The waitress was very nice. We ordered a Pastrami Reuben with fries, but you can pick either pastrami, corn beef or turkey. I ordered extra thousand island on the side. We also ordered a Club Sandwich with cole slaw. This sandwich was huge! It can easily be shared by 2 people. The cole slaw was delicious! Overall, Joe's has great food and employees. There are so many things to try in their menu, everyone in your party will be happy. We definitely recommend it.

Egg Sandwich with cheese w/ Veggie Sausage & Homefries

Went here for a little brunch date & absolutely loved it here ! The service was super quick and attentive. The food options were amazing - so many options. Got such lovely dishes and service. The decor is also super cutie.

Blackened chicken with onion rings, broccoli
Eugene W.

Spaghetti a la Greek: Portions are ENORMOUS. We could not finish this for the life of us. Really just treat everything here as 1.5-2 portions per dish. Spaghetti was very tasty. Red sauce was great, and nicely balanced with the cheese. Blackened Chicken Breast: I heard about this one from Reddit. It is really tasty. Definitely get blackened. The chicken is seared very nicely, and it's still very tender. We got this with the broccoli and onion rings. Broccoli was just broccoli. Onion rings were delicious. Service was friendly. Lots of bang for your buck.

Fried Chicken Sandwich, Onion Rings
Rachel K.

I come to Joe's often and I really love it. It is a super cozy Richmond staple. I love them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have delicious bloody mary's and onion rings! You have to try Joes at least once if you are in Richmond. I love Shield's Market across the street for dessert.

Egg Sandwich with cheese and home fries French Toast or Pancakes
Olivia B.

Had a lovely brunch this weekend at Joe's Inn in Richmond! Super nice and quick service, sat in one of the booths which are definitely more comfortable than they look! Still thinking about those home fries too... def recommend!!!!

I can see why everyone raves about Stella's. The ambiance was mesmerizing starting from the outside…read morewith the classic cars parked out front. 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.

Easily one of my favorites in RVA. Everything from the ambiance (beautifully decorated and clean,…read moredim lighting, and great music) to the food to the service is a 10. I especially love their creativity with the menu - the specials are always something new and delicious, and the main apps (who knew strawberry pesto was a thing?) and entrees never disappoint. I've come here for years - sometimes just for a salad (the Greek village is my favorite), other times for a bigger spread and opportunity to try a few different dishes. Cocktails are also inventive and delicious. I choose Demi's to celebrate any milestone or birthday I have because it's always exceptional. Plenty of street parking on quiet MacArthur.

Katie, our server who was also working the bar, was great. She was friendly, very attentive, and gave very good recommendations. I had to try the orecchiette alla campagna which had a lot of raves. Yes, they were right! Delicious, very creamy and flavorful. The shrimp santorini was also great. Flavorful and the shrimps were cooked perfectly. Both were very filling. Galaktabouriko was fine. It was a milk custard wrapped in phyllo that was baked and soaked in honey. The baklava was fine as well. Texture was good and not too sweet. The men's room was very clean and smelled so pleasant. Would definitely come back!
