Quaint, casual atmosphere and decor
K S.

My group from work decided to celebrate a warm Friday November first evening at the Old Town Alibi outdoor dining area. It is great to see all of the evening activity in old town, mainly because of creative owner-entrepreneurs like Kat. Our fun & friendly server, Amanda, took great care of us. She kept us supplied with water, appetizers and drinks. Our dinners were served all at the same time. Even on a busy night we were never rushed. Old Town Alibi has their standard menu items and offers unique weekly special drinks, apps and entrees. Not only mention a full bar plus a great selection of draft and bottled beer. The ladies loved the fall themed drink specials. Keep up the great work Team Alibi! We will see you again soon!

Big quesadilla
Menghai T.

I got the Big Quesadilla ($14)and Fried Pickles($10). The big quesadillas stuffed with thinly sliced cheese steak, swiss cheese, and Mac N Cheese. It was a pretty average quesadilla, the idea was there but the quality didn't stand out. The pickles were a bit of a letdown, a ton of batter that I could barely taste any pickle flavor. Overall staff and service was average. Food(50%): 6.1 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.1/10

Chicken Salad Sandwich
Mandy N.

Such a fun spot! The vibes are great and the staff are some of the coolest people you'll meet. The pickle flight is a must-try and the pickles taste so fresh and flavorful, perfect for any pickle lover. The chicken salad was delicious and light, just right for brunch. It was a little busy when we went, but totally worth it. Can't wait to go back!

Southern charm
Holly G.

Me and my family wanted a nice lunch outside so we came to Alibi's. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. A great place to go in the warm months! I got the breakfast club and my husband got the Southern Charm. We also got fried pickles (not pictured) and they were so hot and crispy and DELICIOUS that I forgot to take a picture lol. The breakfast club was delicious and super fresh and crunchy! My husband said his was also amazing! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. This is one of our favorite quick lunch spots. Definitely recommend!

Half sprite, half lemonade, and gin
Riana A.

This place is fantastic! It's got an old timey feel to the environment. Now i haven't tried the food because we ate before hand. But they are very cooperative when handling drinks. The service is also amazing! Our server was very kind, very understanding. She served my friend the wrong drink bc he has misspoken and she was very polite and apologetic about it. I recommend 10/10.

Kanani V.

10/10. Best brunch spot in the area! Nicest staff! And beautiful inside/outside dining areas! I got a great turkey, egg BLT. Just wish the cheese was melted(9/10). And had some country fried steak and gravy(7/10). I would definitely come again!

Corey S.

One of the best around!! The food is great and the people are even better. There are weekly specials and the drinks are on point.

Pickle flight
Rita D.

The food here never disappoints. The servers make you feel like family and the crowd is normally lots of friends/family that come here to enjoy good food and great company.

Liason's is truly a gem of a restaurant!!! I've dined here close to a dozen times now and the food…read moregets more and more delicious with every visit. It's so rare that you find a traditional family owned and operated restaurant that not only serves some of the best tasting soul-food dishes in Virigina, but also provides a warm and cozy atmosphere along with exceptional service. Liason's reassures you that excellent family-run restaurants continue to thrive as a cornerstone in the community. The fish dinners are excellent (whether trout or whiting) with a spicy blended seasoning giving the fish a memorable taste. The fried shrimp have a similar tasty seasoning also. The fried chicken is also a favorite. Whether it's the "signature" fried potatoes, the mouth-watering string beans, greens, yams, mac & cheese, or home cut fries - all of the sides pack an extra punch and compliment the meals well. And don't forget the cornbread! The overall flavor and taste of each dish are what seperate Liason's from any other soul-food restaurant I've dined at. The atmosphere makes for a great late dinner or afternoon lunch spot whether with a date, small group, or to rent out for small private functions. It gives the comfortable feeling of a neighborhood bar and diner all in one (carry-out available). The husband and wife co-owners are always welcoming and make it their priority to be sure that you're completely satisfied (and full...LOL). And with dishes that are as tasty as Grandmom's back in the day, you will be satisfied. I try to make it a point to stop by whenever in Petersburg, or when passing through (conveniently close to I-95). Highly Recommended!!!

The decor is classy, chiq and low lighting. The hostess, and our waitress was absolutely amazing! Our waitress Jada or Jayla? Did not get her name and hear that well but she was fantastic! Started off with the crab hush puppies, with a line lime mayo sauce! The flavors were amazingly paired together, they were like mini crab cakes and very filling for appetizer. Main course, my boyfriend got the shrimp and grits which the shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly! It was cheesy and rich and a great flavor. I got the braised beef short ribs which were flavorful, juicy, with mashed potatoes and carrots and mushrooms. It was super good and comforting and filling. We got the butter butter cake, which was amazing! We shared it, as it was plenty. It melted in your mouth and had a scoop of gelato. Presentation on everything was beautiful. Everything we had was amazing, service was fast and friendly and they were on top of everything. We had to pay 12$ for parking and walk, but I think the hotel has something set up. We will be back to try new things!

Our server was helpful and indulged a few questions we had about the menu. If I remember his name, I'll add it later. The energy here exudes soul food, including the soundtrack playing over the speakers. If you like Michael Jackson, which we do, you'll appreciate the vibe. I tried the bone-in pork chop within Hoppin' Johns (rice and beans), and my partner had the Fried Chicken with macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. She said her meal was fantastic, and I tried some of the mac and cheese; it was excellent. My pork chop was much better than the one I tried at the sister location in Short Pump. However, there were so many onions that I spent a lot of time painstakingly sorting those out with my fork. The meal was delicious, but the amount of onions certainly soured my experience. This is our second time here, and while I'm glad I tried the pork chop, I think I'll try something less oniony next time. I recommend Lillie Pearl to anyone who likes a well-curated southern food menu. The new location is beautifully decorated and would provide amazing photo opportunities for anyone planning to have an event here.

I've been here a few times now, and every visit has been a good one. The happy hour menu has a great selection, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere is perfect for unwinding after work or catching up with friends. One of my favorite things about Burtons is how versatile it is. Whether you're stopping in for happy hour, grabbing dinner, meeting friends for drinks, or planning a date night, it's always a solid choice. The Carytown location is another plus, with plenty to do before or after your visit. Parking can be a little challenging depending on the time of day, but that's expected in such a popular area. There are several nearby garages and parking decks that make it manageable. If you're looking for a great happy hour in Richmond, I'd definitely recommend checking out Burtons!

The dining room was quite loud on a Friday evening.

There are plenty of seating, indoor and outside. Service was nice and attentive, and the food came out quickly. Their menu had a lot of different offerings from burgers, to pizza, to entrees. FOOD: ~Sticky Ribs (4.5/5): actually fall off the bone tender! The sauce was tasty. Only thing was the ends were a little too burnt, but it wasn't inedible - gave that nice char taste. ~Italian Grinder (5/5): Typical italian sandwich, but the bread was so good. The roasted peppers added a nice kick, and the sauce was yummy. ~Fries (5/5): love battered fries! And they were seasoned really well ~Catfish and grits (4/5): the grits were wonderful consistency. Catfish was fried really well and was extremely tender. The sauce was so flavorful, but it was very heavy. At first I was worried about the huge chunks of celery, but thankfully, it didn't have that strong celery flavor and added a nice crunch. A really solid meal, especially for a golf course restaurant!

I got the Chopped Brisket Salad. When the food finally got there, the salad had no brisket on it. Had to get the waiter to go get it. Flavors were all good, at least the brisket was tender. Everyone else's plate at our table looked good. This comes down to the execution. Very poor. Anyway, some days you nail it and some days you don't.
