The prices were extremely reasonable. I got the ham, cheese and egg on a biscuit with an arugula side salad. For the price, the portions were absolutely huge! Service was fast and friendly. It wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday morning and we were seated immediately. The place is fairly small but the light decor makes it feel less cramped. It was a great place to sit and chat and eat before heading off to Kings Dominion.

I was meeting a couple friends for brunch, and so we didn't all get there at the same time. The…read morehost was kind enough to still seat me at a table good for 3 while I wait for my friends even though they actually had quite a full house. So I really appreciated that. Our waiter was also actually quite patient (there was a bit of a wait until my friends got there; I'm sorry!). They had a dj the morning I was there, and I really liked the vibe. Their menu have more than enough options for brunch and drinks. I hope they extend their menu for more lunch items than brunch/breakfast items though! Once everyone was there, we finally ordered! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with the side of Lulu's house potatoes and a pomegranate mule. The pomegranate mule was quite strong, and I enjoyed it so much I ordered another one. LOL. The bacon cheeseburger was exactly as I requested. I have no notes. Overall, wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

To start the food here was relatively good…read more The Chicken & Biscuit was quite tasty itself - the eggs were cooked well tastes great- the potatoes... The potatoes are a no everyone agreed the potatoes are too seasoned had this unnecessary spice to them and lacks flavor at the same time - we were not fan, another table recommended we not get the potatoes or ask for them to be a more crispy to disguise the spice. Even took it home and crisped it more, long story short the potatoes are not going to be that lightly salted flavor you'd expect, just over seasoned. The sausage gravy tasted great. The biscuit is absolute perfection! (10 out of 10 for Biscuit and Chicken) (3 out of 10 for potatoes) (9 out of 10 for eggs) Unfortunately as far as the Red Velvet waffles they are most likely waffles with red food coloring - tasted nothing like red velvet. (4 out of 10 for the waffles) The French Toast was okay- the strawberry puree was delicious. (3 out of 10 for French toast) The music in here is a vibe loved the selection - kept my group grooving. Not sure if they are always packed but there was a festival going on outside. They squeezed 7 of us at a 6 top booth. It was tight but worked. Also this location is not very spacious keep that in mind. Our server started off pretty good until the end. She was very loud- louder than the music. No discretion- announced the details of a remaining balance of someone in our group , loudly. Left a sour taste in our mouth as this was not the most professional route to inform a guest of something of that nature. Then proceed to give an attitude upon being compensated .. The situation was however de-escalated. Maybe work on delivery of uncomfortable information.

Booths and bar tables. Not sure if they take reservations. Street parking. They promoted POTATO & DUCK PIEROGIES on the show so I ordered it. Came in 3 with broth. Very flavorful and fulfilling. We also got cinnamon bagel with cream cheese, eggs and Reuben (I think). Fresh and good portion. Staff were friendly. She answered our questions patiently and she was very nice.

This is one of the most sought after dining spot in downtown Richmond, VA. On Sunday morning, we…read morearrived at the location 10 minutes prior to opening at 9 am and there were already few people waiting outside. The staff opened the door right on time. The inside of the store was old school setup with booths and a huge full service bar. 15 minutes within opening, the restaurant was full in capacity. The menu had lots of exciting brunch dishes, appetizers, salads, soups and deli section as well. There were plenty of cocktails, beer and wines choices available too. Prices were decent. I picked the Jewish Sailor that was a combo of toast with pastrami and beef sausage with red onion and mustard. When the dish came, it looked so scrumptious. Loved the flavor of the pastrami, the crunchy sausages, crispy toast bread, coleslaw all of it. I also got to try the pierogis that were delicious as well. The service was good overall. Our waitress was attentive, while managing several tables at the same time. The dishes came out quickly despite being busy. Overall the experience lived up to the expectations.

Indoor is bright with natural lighting along with patio seating for outdoor lovers. All bread made in house which gives Janet's that added touch. My favorites are the sourdough cinnamon roll, hand pockets, biyani, and croissant. Nice rotation of deserts, so the experience is different with each visit. I recently tried one of their sandwiches for the first time - The Shirley, which was pleasant - flavorful, light, and summer friendly only to learn that Shirley got the boot with the creation of their new menu! Parking can be challenging during peak hours but it's worth the wait. #bringbackshirley

In my estimation, there is no better bakery in RVA right now. I'll only write of what I've tried…read more From the perfect baguettes who's peaks are worthy of ride-back-home consumption, to their beautiful hand pies with perfect filling, to their buttery and flaky chocolate croissants, this place is worth the long lines one typically encounters. They make a beautiful sourdough country loaf that is fantastic to bring home, slice in 1/2" slices with a sharp bread knife, put in a gallon freezer bag, and freeze for amazing sandwiches and treats during the week. Try a Spanish pan con tomate with one of these slices slightly toasted, with a rub of garlic, salt, and good e.v. olive oil, and you'll be happy as a clam. (What does that even mean?) Or use said previously frozen slices as a dessert treat with your sleepy time tea, toasted with butter and good local raw honey drizzled on it. Bathrooms are very clean. Next up, I will go early to sit down and eat there, trying one of the incredible looking breakfast sandwiches and/or salads that folks seem elated to be eating.

Unfortunately, my experience at The Benedict in Chester, Virginia, was extremely disappointing. The…read moreservice was incredibly slow, and the food and drinks were nowhere near worth the hype. I ordered an espresso martini (that I had to return), eggs, turkey bacon, and an English muffin. The eggs were overcooked and lacked any freshness. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and described them as completely unseasoned. The grits tasted like plain white grits with shrimp simply placed on top, rather than a flavorful, savory dish. Another friend ordered a burger, which arrived overcooked with burnt buns. Overall, everything tasted as though it had been prepared ahead of time and left sitting on a hot plate or reheated in an oven before being served. Nothing tasted freshly made, and the quality simply did not match the reputation or expectations. Sadly, this was a very underwhelming dining experience, and I would not return or recommend it based on our visit.

The grilled chicken was juicy, the toppings were fresh, and the pickled onions added the perfect tangy bite. Every bite was delicious. We also tried the steak and fries, and the steak was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion, tender, and topped with a flavorful chimichurri-style sauce. The fries were crispy and the perfect side. To top it all off, I had one of their frozen drinks, and it was so refreshing--the perfect pairing with the meal. If you're looking for a casual spot with great food, generous portions, and a fun tropical atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

My party of 4 came in for dinner on a Tuesday evening, and we were a little bit disappointed with…read morethe service. The staff were polite, but we had to ask several times to get items we were missing or things we wanted extras of. They checked in on us a fair number of times, but they still forgot to return to give us what we had asked for. By the time we were ready to leave, we still haven't gotten our dressings or our condiments. I also had asked for my burger to be well done, but I got a burger with quite a bit of pink in it. I didn't want to ask for it to be placed back on the grill because I didn't really want to wait longer for my food. Although I wanted my burger to be well done and I didn't get it that way, it was still pretty good. The fries though, I think was the best part of it. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crunchy! I also ordered a coke. Just a heads up, they don't do free refills on the sodas, so each cup is $4. My party also ordered salmon l'orange and a romano salad with salmon. My friends really enjoyed their main dishes, but we did ask for extra dressing. The restaurant is decorated in a boho-style vibe, and it was cute. We found the lighting on the side dining area to be a little bit too dim once the sun went down, but I do think it would've been perfect for a date night vibe. Overall, we had an okay experience.

Though there were plenty of generations in the restaurant. Huge portions and a clean dining room with attached parking are perfect! We will return.

It was a huge portion, and I couldn't finish it. The potatoes were top tier. I'll definitely be ordering those again. The place is tiny, and I can understand why there's usually a line out the door on weekends. One thing I wasn't expecting was the size of the drink bar. It was massive, and even at 10:00 on a Friday morning, that bartender was BUSY! The host was a gem. He was friendly, got us settled with water right away, and was genuinely welcoming. Our server took a little while to make it over to us, and we had to flag her down for coffee and water refills, but she was pleasant when she came by. Overall, this is a solid brunch spot. I'm already planning to come back this week to try something different, and next time I'll actually remember to take photos. I can also see myself bringing friends here on visits to town.
