The balance of sweet and heat is dialed in perfectly -- just enough sweetness to hook you, just enough spice to make you reach for another one. They're crispy, saucy without being messy, and honestly borderline addictive. If you go, that's the order.

I've had A LOT of wings in my life... so to hear there was a place that is semi-local to say they…read morewere the best wings in Richmond, I had to give it a try.... And was it good? Yes. The best I've ever had? I don't think so. We got smoked wings and tenders. The tenders were 10/10 delicious! The Smokiness of the wings we got were delicious.... But to add flavor to the smoked wings, that didn't work. But it's okay. I would have it again. But i would try something else. The place is very cute and the woman at the front was SO NICE! I will say, the flavor of the garlic buffalo is really good.... Not dying spicy and a good balance of flavor. And also that everything seasoning to we got to add to the tenders was very good also. Ranch was okay.... But had like a powder after taste....

Four of us were at a convention a couple blocks away this past weekend, and by 12 PM, we were ready…read moreto take a break and hunt for food. Side Chic was the only restaurant nearby with consistently high reviews, and we couldn't say no to fried chicken. We were seated upon arrival, but it took a long time for the server to take our orders and even longer for the food to arrive. Initially, we planned to split two orders of the 8-piece tenders, but they forgot to put in one of them, so only one arrived about 45 minutes after we sat down. By then, we were itching to go back to our convention, so we all just shared the one platter. 8 PC TENDERS W LARGE FRIES AND 2 CORN BREAD - 21 We were so hungry that we didn't even take a picture of our food. The chicken tenders were incredibly hot and fresh off the frying station. The breading was well-seasoned with variety of spices and had a nice kick to it, while the chicken itself was juicy. The tenders were simple and humble, but I genuinely thought they were one of the best tenders I've ever had. We got sides of ranch, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce to enjoy them in. The fries were okay -- on the soggy side with a bit of seasoning that didn't do much for them. The cornbread was lightly sweet with a hint of cinnamon (?), but we had to send one back after finding a piece of hair in it. While waiting for food, two of us ordered sweet tea, and "sweet" was an understatement. It was a soul-jolting, system-rebooting experience -- my eyes practically flung open before the tea made it down my throat. This stuff worked faster and harder than caffeine. The sweet tea is indeed sweet and not for the weak (like myself). There were two servers and, from what we could tell, maybe one chef in the back, so I can understand why things were moving slowly. Still, the forgotten order and hair in the cornbread made for a pretty rough experience. Our group had mixed thoughts about Side Chic, but acknowledged it was probably a bad day for the restaurant and staff.

When i did get my food, holy crap! It was fresh, hot, very flavorful without being heavily salted. Their wings are probably some of the best ive had in richmond so far. Let's just say side chic is about to be my main chic when it comes to wings now (had the lemon pepper wet). Also really enjoyed the fried catfish and the green beans. Potato salad was pretty good, on the sweeter side but not too much. The mac and cheese they had to make a fresh batch of so the flavors didnt have time to come together, and it was more saucy than baked - which i was hoping for. But they were cool about taking it back, and asked for feedback. Great playlist. Small spot which i appreciate. Will DEFINITELY be back!!

This was my first time at the Cocky Rooster Short Pump location. I haven't been to the original…read morelocation in years because it was usually on the pricier side for the portion. I was pleasantly surprised with this visit. The side portions were extremely generous for smalls and the chicken tenders were more like chicken breasts. They have so many sauces and dry rubs to choose from. I like that they allow you to choose a dry rub for your fries to spice them up and set them apart from standard fries. Extra sauces like ranch are an extra charge and they provide plenty to make it worth it. This location was very busy on a Friday night. I highly recommend ordering take out in advance. They do have seating inside if you prefer dining in.

Magical Food…read moreWe got a basket of 10 fried boneless wings tossed in mild buffalo sauce, a small bag of buffalo ranch fries, a drink and a complementary cup of the pickle coleslaw. Everything was fantastic. The chicken was crispy to the last wing, flavor of the sauce was excellent. Fries were crispy with great flavor with the buffalo each rub. We ordered a small and the bag was huge. I don't know if that was a mistake but if it was truly a small there would never be a reason to order the large as it could easily feed 4. Ranch dipping sauce was excellent and the coleslaw was surprisingly great. Service Food came out quickly and the staff was friendly. I was a little taken back that there was no one to take our order only iPads but when I was having trouble someone came over to help and was friendly. Ambiance It is a small place with half a dozen tables. Decor is nothing special but it is clean. Price Our meal was $26 but it easily fed both me and my wife so split between us wasn't bad. We love wings and this may be our favorite place we've been to. My wife kept saying this place is "magical". Highly recommended

The ambiance was quiet as we just missed the lunch crowd. We ordered the shrimp fried rice with honey old bay wings, a cheesesteak with fries, and peach fountain drink. R Town Wings sells an assortment of carryout items: chicken, subs, ribs, Chinese food, etc. Our wait wasn't long. The wings were cooked well and seasoned properly with honey and old bay. The shrimp fried rice was fresh and not greasy either with an adequate amount of shrimp. The cheesesteak and fries were good as well and that peach drink was SO good! All in all our food was good and will be visiting it on a future visit in the area.

They ask how long it'll be before you get there, and if some time passes and you haven't arrived yet, they'll actually call to see how far away you are. We were about five minutes out when they called, and the lady on the phone said she would have the cooks start making our food then. I thought that was interesting. When we got there, we didn't have to wait at all, which was nice. They do have a seating area, but we took our food to go. The space was somewhat busy with more cars outside waiting by the sidewalk. Service was overall feiendl The wings were good overall! We got: * Lemon Pepper * Lemon Pepper Honey * Ranch * BBQ * Teriyaki All the flavors were solid and their ranch dressing was actually not gross (I've had a few bad experiences with that dressing recently). The shrimp fried rice was also good and made a nice addition to the wings. Overall, it was a pretty smooth experience. The food was ready when we arrived, and everything tasted good. Would order from here again.

We ended up going to Beauvine Burger Concept and we were very pleased with it! We got there after 9 p.m. (I think) but the place was still packed! Maybe it's because they're open really late (they're open until 2am!) We ordered fries and burgers and my son and I also got milkshakes. Everything was delicious! I really liked the size of the burger and I especially loved the milkshake because it wasn't too thick so I could easily sip it through the straw. I'm usually not much of a burger person but if we ever get a chance to visit Richmond again, we'd definitely like to go back!
