    Brisket with Mac 'n Cheese
    Jasmine A.

    Alright y'all. In summary in case you just want me to get straight to the point, oak and apple is absolutely fantastic. From the ambiance to the food, 100% spot on. I arrived around 12pm on a Monday. I was immediately greeted by the bartender who sat me at the bar outside (my request). I asked for a surprise me drink and they asked a few questions and when I received the drink, It was absolutely spot on to what I normally enjoy. For food I ordered the brisket with a side of Mac n cheese and Oh My Goodness this hit so hard. The brisket was easy to cut into, so much flavor without the sauce, but I'm a sauce girly so I got their "smokin hot" and "apple bbq" and wow, the smokin hot sauce had a lot of flavor and a nice spice to It! The Mac n cheese was cheesy with a soft texture where most places are normally rough at least in my experience! Now on to the service. Carey and Berit are by far the best bartenders in Richmond. They are so caring, respectful, patient, and will keep you company if you're sitting alone . They went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. They are a total vibe.

    Oak and Apple Richmond VA: Va Angus Beef Brisket Plate
    Bella J.

    It looks kinda like a bar, may even look like a dark weird spot depending on from which side you came in. But don't judge too fast, the place is awesome and brisket is divine! They have a patio with full service and indoor seating with great AC for a hot day. 1. Service is amazing, swift, knowledgeable and professional! 2. Food: great! - wasn't a fan of the apple slaw, but it was okay. - Baked potato is just okay, order with all the bells & whistles. - brisket is amazing! 3. Drinks are good, cider options are great compared to other joints. I personally highly recommend this place.

    Butter Burger
    Cassie M.

    I've ordered the butter burger on door dash several times but this was my first time dining in! It's a very casual establishment, a few tables, and some bar space. I had the potato skins as an appetizer, which were very yummy and with only 6 pieces it definitely left me wanting more. The burger was good per usual. Biggest issue was there were multiple flies in the restaurant.

    Chicken Slider
    Mike N.

    I don't know if I'm officially a brisket connoisseur or just somebody who knows good food when I taste it, but I need somebody to confirm this for me. Does Oak & Apple have the best brisket around or is it just me? I lived in Richmond for years, but I've been gone for over a decade now. Every time I come back, I'm reminded that Richmond's food scene is the best on the East Coast that I know of. Oak & Apple is one of those spots that makes the case. This trip, I brought my son with me after we wrapped up a college visit. Education was the first stop, but brisket was the priority. We sat down and got a new waiter. Nice guy, definitely tried his best, but the service was a little spotty. They didn't check on us much, but honestly, I didn't care. I wasn't there for the customer service. I was there for that brisket. Turns out it was happy hour. Our waiter didn't mention it, but luckily the folks sitting next to us did. So we ordered the chicken sliders that come with slaw and fries. One word, flavorful. You could taste the smoke in the chicken, and the sauces stole the show. The apple BBQ and hoisin BBQ sauces are top tier. I would buy them by the jar if they sold them. But the real reason I was there was the brisket. As soon as it hit the table, I went straight for the burnt ends. So much flavor, so much smoke. You don't even need sauce. That brisket speaks for itself. For my personal cheat code, I usually cut the brisket in half, throw it on their brioche bun, and hit it with a little sauce. It never misses. But even without the sauce or bun, it's perfect. I will come back to Richmond just for this brisket. It is that good. If somebody knows a place that serves a better brisket, feel free to put me on. But I'm telling you now, I don't think it exists.

    Pile High Sandwich, Pork Cracklins
    Gregory F.

    Didn't know what to expect with this place, as we truthfully ended up here by accident after our initial dinner plans fell through. But by the end of the night, we were happy we gave it a shot. Fantastic service first and foremost - our server went above and beyond, literally tracking down every single sauce for us and allowing us to taste test them all since we were so indecisive. Also just super friendly with some solid menu recommendations! Top two sauces by the way? Big Daddy's Vinegar and Apple BBQ. The Pile High Sandwich? To die for. Dense with flavor and texture of different meats and good with literally any of the sauces. The sausage sandwich was alright - not my favorite, but a nice change of pace from your usual brisket, pulled pork variations at a BBQ ppitstop. Diverse beer selection and a quirky vibe that kept us smiling and laughing throughout.

    Southern Poutine with a splash of gravy
    Brittany B.

    I was craving poutine and after searching this in Uber Eats, Oak and Apple popped up. I ordered their Southern Poutine which is advertised as steak fries topped with white pepper gravy, grilled onions, and fried cheese curds. It sounded amazing and I was super looking forward to it. Once the it arrived, I noticed that it was really lacking the white pepper gravy. This was the driest poutine I've ever had - I basically paid $13 for a plate of food that I had to add ketchup to in order to make up for the missing gravy.

    Mac 'n Cheese
    Zorah A.

    Decided to pop in here and I don't regret it at all. Everything was phenomenal and the service was great. The environment was clean and the music was a vibe. The food was extremely flavorful and probably the best Mac N Cheese Ive ever had. Will definitely be returning!

    2 proteins, 2 sides and an order of corn bread
    Stephanie P.

    Went there with our new puppy. Good bbq and outdoor dining. Ribs & brisket perfectly cooked and the cornbread was outstanding. Slaw portion a bit small. Would reco if you are in the Richmond area.

    I had been wanting to try Fat Kid Sandwiches for a long while -- from back when they would do…read morepop-ups at Veil -- but the timing had never worked out. Earlier in the month, I was finally able to check them out for the first time. I had my eye on their Italian hoagie, which is listed under the Cold section, but I know better at this point in time of living in the South and the many Italian hoagies that I have had to refrigerate. So I ordered it without the tomato or peppers and served cold. I ordered it through the bartender, who told me that they do serve them cold and that they were out of peppers that day. Turns out they were not out of peppers and they did not serve it cold. I can't eat peppers due to food sensitivities, so I sent it back and asked for it to be re-made. This was the bartender's mistake, from the receipt I could see that he didn't send those notes to Fat Kid, to be clear. The second rendition was made correctly, and it was definitely tasty, but they are overpriced. It's pretty obvious from my picture that this wasn't some hefty, super stuffed and loaded with meats/cheese hoagie. It looks like a normal 6" hoagie. Not worth $11 for it, in my opinion. I'd rather spend $16 at Stanley's or $10 for a full-size at Mr. Submarine.

    The BEST Italian in RVA hands down. I'm so sad that Hatch has now closed but I'm so excited to see…read morewhat fat kid sandwiches does next!!

My fiancé and I live nearby and love coming here for a unique grilled cheese. They have everything from a classic sandwich to a decadent magical sandwich. The sandwiches here are made with love. I adore the woman who we usually run into when we come. She usually is the one who makes our sandwiches and I love how she writes something sweet on the box. These are delicious and big sandwiches. I always leave feeling full and sometimes even have leftovers. I love that the sandwiches come with a mini tomato basil soup for dipping. I highly recommend getting a sandwich with the focaccia, it's beyond delicious. My recent favorite is the Duval Sisters with plant based cheese and rosemary focaccia. Billie's Holiday is another favorite. It is more of a takeout vibe, but they do have two tables outside in front with four chairs if you want to eat there. You're also not too far from Clay Park or a picnic bench parklet in front of Art 180 (about 8 minute walk away). This local gem has soups, breakfast biscuits, grilled cheeses, plant-based options, dessert, and more. I highly recommend getting a sandwich from here ASAP.
