This was SOOO GOOD. Came here on a Thursday and got their $14 deal (including surcharge on mac and cheese), which was honestly such a steal for how much food you get. The mac and cheese was exactly how I like it, and the fries lowkey reminded me of In-N-Out LOL. The chicken sandwich was pretty good too, although it was noticeably smaller than the ones I'm used to getting in California, probably around half the size. It also didn't have any veggies besides pickles, which was a little disappointing. BUT the side portions were HUGE, so I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. What made the deal even better was that I could choose a beer with my meal. I got the Tecate, and it was SO good. It honestly reminded me of Terra beer from Korea, which I absolutely love. Overall, I really enjoyed everything, especially for the price. I'd 100% recommend coming on Thursdays to take advantage of the deal because $14 for all of this is such a good value. They also gave us the cutest little duckies, which was such a fun touch hehe. read more

We have had LPH several times and although I think it is a hit or miss when it comes to service, we have had sold experiences every time. The food won't necessarily blow your socks off-- however it is consistently good, a lot of vegan/gluten free/etc options, lots of cocktail and beer options, and even the pickiest of eaters could find something they enjoy there. Our waiter this last time was outstanding. I noticed on their menu they also have specials including Thursdays where they do a hot chicken sandwich and beer for a cheaper price. They also have a solid happy hour. read more

Liberty Public House prides itself on being a lesbian-owned restaurant in Richmond, which is very evident in the decor- rainbows everywhere, which I love! It's a very popular restaurant, so today, when we entered, while we were greeted right away, there was a 30 minute wait. The time actually went by relatively fast, and by the time we were seated, large cups of ice water were already there at our table, as well as a carafe to refill them. There's no physical menus, instead you scan a QR code which brings you to their menu. They have lots of drink options, including several specialty cocktails, beers, and ciders. Our waiter was super sweet and attentive, and the food came out relatively quickly. For my drink, I ordered a local cider from a Virginia ciderie, as well as the It's A Wrap, which has cheddar, ranch, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and your choice of protein (I got tofu). I also got a side of the Mac and cheese, which I could tell was made in house. Super creamy and flavorful with a hint of spice. My wrap was also insanely good! I'm impressed by the amount of vegetarian options here. Any burger can be made both gluten free or vegan, and the choices of protein make it more accessible for everyone who comes in. I'm really happy we were recommended this place! read more

Liberty Public House was OK. I think the service could've been slightly better. The food was not bad however I was not blown away. The best thing they had was the wings we got it fried hard. It was very delicious. I got a burger and I wasn't really impressed with it. I also tried the blue crab coquette for an appetizer and it was very good. Our table also ordered fried pickles. Everyone at our table loved them. I'm not a big fan of fried pickles though, but I think the food was pretty good for what it was. I just don't think that it was for me. I would say definitely check them out. read more

We came for a filling Sunday brunch to fuel an adventure-packed day, and this spot did not disappoint! To note: This is a popular location, so the wait time around noon was 45 mins to an hr. We ordered the giant breakfast burrito w/ cheesy grits and the vegan 'chicken' sandwich w/ shoelace fries. Our server was very friendly, and we received our food quickly. The serving sizes are large. The breakfast burrito was packed to the brim, very savory, flavorful, and filling. Half a burrito is already a full meal, but I was committed and finished 90% of it before tapping out. There were some condiments on the tables, but the server brought out hot sauce upon request. The cheesy grits were good, a bit decadent to pair with the already dense burrito. The vegan chicken sandwich threw us for a loop. It's not your traditional veggie burger or impossible meat. The texture and look really closely resembles actual chicken, so much so we had to call the server over to confirm they didn't accidentally bring us a chicken sandwich. The flavor was good, if not slightly off-putting with how meat-like it was. The atmosphere is lively, a nice place to grab brunch. Just beware the wait and lines! read more

Great food and reasonable prices! I got a bowl with chicken and quinoa, it was absolutely delicious. My mom ordered the mini waffles, which were not only adorable but also really tasty. The staff was super nice and helpful, especially with gluten allergy accommodations. There's plenty of seating and street parking available. Highly recommend! read more

TLDR; friendly waitress, large menu with salads, sandwiches, burgers and a few entrees. The food was reasonably priced and the taste was good but not GREAT. Vibes - this laid back restaurant was surprisingly busy on a Thursday night at 5:45. We had to wait 5 minutes to get added to the wait list (this process was a bit unclear as you have to wait for a host but the host took a while to come). Then we waited 15 minutes for a table. Thankfully there was plenty of space to wait inside. There are steps to get down into the restaurant so unsure how wheelchair friendly it is. Service - we had a lovely waitress. She was friendly, upbeat and helpful. She gave great recommendations and checked on us the perfect amount. Food - the food was solid! Good enough to come back but not life changing. Here's what we got. Chicken and waffles: this was our least favorite. The waffles were a little gooey in the center and tasted slightly under cooked. The chicken was good but not super flavorful. Avocado Smash Burrito: delicious, flavorful and solid portion for the price. Last call burger: SO GOOD! I'm no stranger to a burger with egg on it, but this is my first time also having a hash brown. That was a delicious touch! I do think the burger itself was a bit meh but as a whole it was delicious. It could benefit from a sauce. Our waitress kindly brought me their sriracha aioli which my husband enjoyed but I thought it had a weird taste. It was also spicier than I'm used to for a sriracha based sauce. Next time I'll try the garlic aioli. Side Mac and cheese: this was a $2 up charge but the portion was HUGE so worth the price. It was a bit rich for my taste but still delicious. My only problem is that this tastes nothing like "mac and cheese". It was good but it was a cheesy pasta. If you order it with that expectation - and you're okay with a touch of heat - you might enjoy it. read more

My new favorite brunch place in Richmond! The food was INCREDIBLE. My friend and I kept talking about what we wanted to order when we came next. The service was also great. Everyone was prompt and the food came to the table fast, but we didn't feel like we were being hovered over. There was plenty of street parking & not too busy for Easter weekend brunch. We are absolutely returning! read more

Liberty Public House in Richmond is an old theater that was converted into a quaint resturant with a diverse yet concise menu; furthermore, they're a solid spot that serves up good food and even better values, which is something I really appreciate in today's climate. I started with the blue crab croquettes, which were crispy and flavorful. They had just a bit too much Old Bay for my taste, but they were still really tasty overall. I also had the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and a side of their house made hot sauce. That hot sauce was incredible; bold, spicy, and clearly made in house with love. I'd come back just for that. (My friend bought a container just to take home it was THAT good!) The service was friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. What stood out most was the atmosphere. It's a place that feels intentionally inclusive and supportive. They're openly pro-LGBTQ, anti-ICE, and clearly committed to being a space where everyone feels safe and respected. In a time when a lot of businesses choose to stay neutral, it's refreshing to see one take a stand. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends who appreciate both good food and good principles. read more

Been to Liberty Public House a few times now with my girlfriend, and every time it's some good eats. I've brought my mom here when she visits from out of town and I think it's a reliable breakfast spots we can count on. The service is always great. They seat you quickly, and the servers check in often, which I always appreciate. On this visit, I went with the French toast, hash browns, and eggs. The French toast was good, and the eggs were soft how I like em. The hash browns weren't exactly my style, but they weren't bad either. Overall, Liberty Public House is a solid choice for a morning bite. Some good food, and attentive service keep me coming back. read more

LPH has been my go to brunch since my 1st visit. Food is consistent, service is A1.

I definitely do not wing giving mid level ratings to places, especially local ones. I wanted a turkey burger without a bun. When I ordered, I was expecting to get freshly created patties. For $20, I received, what absolutely looked and seemed like; store bought turkey burger patties. They were kind of dry and I was very disappointed. This was supposed to be my lunch and I had to persevere and finish it. I am leery about ordering anything else from this venue. The inside looks good and seems to give a very sports bar type of vibe. The staff was nice and friendly. I was so disappointed that I didn't even take a picture read more

We were meeting someone who chose Liberty Public House. When we got there, we were told there was a 20 minute wait. The restaurant was not at all crowded, so we figured it must be a staffing issue. It did, indeed, take about 20 minutes to be seated. It was a little noisy, probably because of the high ceilings. I had the South of Philly sandwich. It was good, but a bit salty. I enjoyed the shoestring potatoes a little too much. read more

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere reminded me of a dive bar or small hometown restaurant. Although the environment was not spotless, that didn't take away from the experience.

Good food and good vibes here. While it took a surprisingly long time to get a seat (it is a smallish space), it was worth the wait because it was a good experience. There was a good menu of typical pub fare choices with a lot of choices for various dietary needs. There are plenty of vegan and gluten free options on the menu. I had a vegan patty added to a burger, and it was made of actual vegetables. Unlike some, it didn't fall apart too much, and it was pretty good. There are a ton of side choices, but can you really go wrong with waffle sweet potato fries? The cocktail menu is robust and has some interesting choices. I did a "closeted cosmo" off the Pride menu, and it was quite unique in that it was made with raspberry puree that still included the seeds. I could have done without the seeds in my cocktail for sure, but I did dig the rainbow sugar rim on top. Service was fine, a bit on the slow side and not overly friendly, but not anything that made the experience unenjoyable. I'd definitely go back here when in town. read more

We were exploring around Churchill and found this little gem on our walk. We saw Lesbian Pancake House outside and instantly it gave me the urge to go inside. This brunch spot is a little gem and I'm so glad we came across it. We had a difficult time choosing what to eat, the menu had SO many options! The staff were very friendly and we loved that it's queer-owned. The ambiance was super chill and laid back. read more

My friend and I decided to come here for lunch, and we had about a 5-10 minute wait. It's like your typical American pub with pride, very casual. There's no parking directly out front, you have to find street parking on the side which there was on the next block. I got the pesto chicken sandwich without mozzarella and red onion and shoe string fries as a side. It was SO good and they give you a lot of fries, I couldn't eat them all. I'm not sure how they toasted the bread but so delicious. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The pricing was also really good, my sandwich was $13.50. read more

We've been here twice now, once as a brunch date and once with a group of friends. We were looking for new brunch spots in Richmond and LPH had a big menu with many vegetarian options, as well as that classic brunch feel and brunch dishes. We tried the Biscuits and Gravy (vegetarian) with a hash brown cake, as well as the Green Monster (an everything bagel sandwich with avocado, pesto, scrambled eggs, and tomato). Both were really good! The hash brown cake was actually a really nice side, crispy on the outside. The biscuits and gravy were also really satisfying and I was especially happy they were able to make this dish with vegetarian gravy. The second time we brought friends, they shared chicken dishes which they said were pretty good. Overall, good hearty food, soulful service and a really nice vibe; they could season their dishes a little bit more consistently and intensely, but otherwise a good solid brunch spot. read more

As an LPH regular, I'm starting to give up on this place. Every time, and I mean every time we try to come here there's an issue. The last two attempts we've had to just leave due to an egregious wait time or them just deciding to close for a private party without any notice. I don't understand what the owners issue with hiring more employees and filling out all tables instead of leaving the restaurant half full and making customers wait 30+ minutes is. Also, the wait time is ALWAYS a lie. If they tell you "Oh it'll be 10-15 minutes", you can count on 30 minutes. I don't really feel valued as someone who isn't a tourist and always tips well. read more

Give me Liberty or give me death!!! I felt like death leaving this place. Man, let me start by saying, "Table of 4, holiday weekend, kick off, so the team decided to grab lunch together, COOL." I am a 1st and LAST timer...... My order: Ol' Faithful (scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, biscuit, and hashbrowns) I wanted a side order of pancakes. Well, the waitress wanted to give me an entire pancake meal, and I asked for just 1 side order (a la carte). The pancakes only (side order) were $12 for 3 that were not edible. Photo: My food and pancakes were dusty dry inside. Couldn't cut with a knife. They were tough. At clean up, I found out it was gluten-free. No thanks Everyone eats, and we are heading out, returning to the office. Instantly, I needed to sit down and center myself. Felt loopy, headache, nauseous not just me, all of us!!!! One took a 15-minute nap to try to bounce back, I am flushing with water, and the others are in the bathroom. So, notification are being made to our job because something is clearly off and we all are not sure what is going on....we left the office and directly to get lunch to return directly back to the office. ( I fast until 1100hrs, this was my first meal for the day) The best way I explained it, feeling loopy like when I eat Chinese food and forget to tell them no MSG. Nothing on the menu states cooked with MSG. Called the location just to check if they cook with MSG, Alexia/Alexis (manager) heard my issue, quickly put me on hold to check a sauce they cook with; returned to say no MSG in the building. But you cook with a sauce that has it, ok. Yeah, I will pass on this one. You all enjoy, thou... read more

Met a couple of friends here for dinner. It's got a great location, on-street parking. They've got a fantastic menu that will accommodate probably everyone's food issues. They had a great selection of beers. We ordered friend pickles for the table - the serving size was really good (so good that we couldn't eat them all). I cannot remember what my dining partners ordered, but I got the Cuban sandwich. Man, that was good. Don't tell my Cuban friends, but I may have liked their bread selection better than the traditional Cuban bread. The sandwich was SOOOOO good! My only complaint is there is zero (or near zero) sound baffling. I cannot imagine how noisy it gets in there. I guess they thought the wooden furniture would be enough to squelch the sound? Well, it's not. Because the furniture is treated with varnish or whatever it's doesn't do much good for the sound. Would I go again? Yes, but *not* during their busier times. When I go out to eat, I like to have a conversation with my seat mates. Thanks for reading my review! read more

Stopped in last night for dinner. Cocktails were great, service was fantastic and the food was good. Casual neighborhood hangout vibe. Steady stream of people coming in while we were there. I had the brunch shrimp and grits and my husband had the fried chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious. My husband loved the chicken! Greek salad that we shared was great. Mac and cheese was a little cooler than I prefer and the shrimp were slightly overcooked. Our sweet server was in an arm sling but didn't seem hindered by it at all. We'd go again! read more

this restaurant has the exact vibe you want in a pub. it is super spacious but inviting. the staff was super friendly and helpful. the food was hit or miss. the pretzel sticks are a must! they had the perfect consistency - a crispy crust and super soft center. i really liked the mustard it came with and although i liked the idea of the gouda cheese, it was not my personal favorite. i tried a new menu item that was the teriyaki chicken wrap and it had potential but just wasn't that great. all of the veggies were super crunchy and tasty. the sauce was pretty good as well, but the chicken was dry. the wrap all together just didn't go well for some reason. the taco platter was similar as well. the individual ingredients were pretty good but didn't do super well together in addition to the dry chicken. they have shoestring fries which are my favorite type of fry and i enjoyed dipping them into the mustard dip! read more

My first time visiting Liberty Public House, and it was a great experience! The waitress was super helpful and gave us excellent food recommendations. We ordered a few items from the menu, and everything was absolutely delicious. For entrées, we had a burger, a bagel sandwich, and the country benedicts. The food portions were generous and perfect for sharing. One standout feature is their impressive selection of sides. We tried the french fries, mini waffles, and jicama slaw--everything was so flavorful! Just writing about it makes my mouth water! I definitely recommend Liberty Public House and can't wait to come back when my sister is in town! read more

Very glad they are open on Monday nights! A group of 4 of us walked around the charming neighborhood and wanted to get a quick bite. This was the closest place to us. The place is very casual with a dive bar vibe. That being side I was very impressed by the menu. They have all day breakfast, main dishes and burgers full of southern flare. 2 pages full! I think I have to come back to try more dishes. I ordered shrimp and grits in order to compare with other places. Also ordered Brussels sprouts because somehow it only tastes so good from a restaurant! The dishes are full of flavor. For my taste though, they were a bit much - quite oily and a bit salty. I was surprised how much bacon was in my order but I guess like they say - anything tastes better with bacon. My dining partners also ordered a southwestern chicken salad but he didn't finish most of it. The service was prompt and friendly. The dishes were served quickly. Not sure how it is on a busy day though. read more

A last minute decision that turned out to be a good one. I almost was lost because it looks like a theatre from the outside. You do have to go down steps to get inside. We came here on Saturday afternoon after a dragon boat race that wasn't too far from there. The inside is a little dim but comfortable. With it being underground sort of, you won't have much phone service but they do have wifi. Additionally, they don't give out printed menus, you'll have to scan the QR code. They have all day brunch, and a pretty extensive menu. Everyone in our group got something different and enjoyed their food. They have a lot of menu items with grits, however, if you don't like stone grits they are not the grits for you! I had the fried pickles, crab croquettes, and the Buffalo chicken wrap and they were all good with great portions. Our waitress was very nice and helpful and got us any additional items we requested. Our food came out in a timely manner. read more

I went out to LPH last weekend for the first time with family. The restaurant is really cute inside. It is steps down to the tables but they do have a wheelchair lift. Their happy hour is 3-6 daily which is amazing! We ordered the pimento and pickles as an appetizer and not only was it delicious but also came out very quickly. Our meals were amazing as well. I have the chili with grits and it was really tasty - as well as vegetarian. The grits were cheesy, the cornbread was sweet and the chili had a great flavor.

Can't believe I only learned about this place as I'm about to move!! They definitely have a wide selection of comfort food, sandwiches, breakfast items, etc. I got the chicken pesto sandwich with sweet potato fries (for a slight extra cost)! Loved how generous the amount of pesto sauce there was and how the chicken breast was juicy. Appreciate the ratio of filling to bread. The sweet potato fries were super crispy, chewy, and nicely seasoned! Tried a bit of my friend's hashbrown and very much enjoyed the sweet-savory combination. It was crunchy on the outside, chewy inside, and also with a hint of honey! The place has a good amount of seating.

Staff and Service were great! Ambience was right and very nice to hear the loud chatter people of all sorts talking and enjoying themselves. The place was busy and that made it all the better. I'm happy for them. They must know their customers. The Food, mediocre at best. The chili that came with grits was thin, the grits, well, were grits. The sweet potatoes were delicious, but sweet potatoes are naturally tasty. For a restaurant that features chicken it is unfortunate to get chicken strips of white meat. Yes, it's easier to order (from suppliers) and cook chicken portions than whole or chicken parts with the bones in. That said, the chicken breading was okay but it wasn't finger licking good or comparable to the expectations considering that chicken is featured in so many dishes on the menu. The potatoes were cool and close to tasteless, and the gravy was congealed flour. Maybe it was me? I had imagined a pile of chicken, maybe a thigh, leg, and wing, or part of a breast, with kinda creamy, buttery, mashed potatoes...and whatever was supposed to be in it. Had the menu said chicken strips and not 'country fried', I would have ordered something else. Well, as I said, I'm happy for them. read more
