    the menu for sam adams

    So I was really thinking you can't go wrong with Sam Adams, but I was wrong. We wanted to grab a quick bite like most while at the airport and decided to stop here. The service is really not that bad, it's clean, and they have a few beers on tap, but it's just not for me. They really seem understaffed. Now as far as the food goes, you may just want to avoid. I got a turkey sandwich, with minimal amounts of turkey. We also got an order of half fries and half rings since your meal does not come with anything. Again, disappointed. The fries were undercooked and the Rings were cold and greasy. If anything, stop here for a beer at the bar. Sigh.

    Classic Burger and House Chardonnay.

    Well it's the RIC Airport so options are limited.. But this place is a good option to have. It is pricey but what isn't in an airport? The burgers are and the wine/beer selection are great as well. Not much more is needed before a flight.

    Marvin is the best! He serves a great dirty martini and works so efficiently to keep his customers happy and hydrated.

    Eat before you get to the airport. Food took forever to come out, beer was exorbitantly priced. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Perks of working at a Dental office, get invited to events hosted by other offices…read more Thanks to the doctors of VOFS for providing the opportunity to be here, enjoy food n drinks and mingle with different people. The staff was helpful and friendly and attentive! I definitely will come back with my husband for date night!

    Stopped in recently for the first time to try an IPA. It was average but that's not what the one…read morestar is for... I've followed this brewery on social media for a few months and have noticed their pictures consistently feature pours with an inordinate amount (2-3") of head on them. As someone who absolutely hates foam, I asked up front for no head. The bartender winced and explained they had to pour that way or they'd get in trouble because the ownership "wants the aroma expressed." I was taken aback...not only by the total lack of regard for the customer but for levying that threat against an employee. I was waiting to meet someone somewhere else for dinner, and put aside my disdain and capitulated as I didn't want anyone getting in trouble over a beer. So, I figured I'd make the most of things out on the patio. Alas, you can't take glass out in the patio, only plastic cups. What?!? If this were a college bar on a Friday night, sure - pour into plastic. But happy hour in Midlothian? The bartender did say they could pour no foam for a plastic cup though, which I thought was funny - they're so precious about their beer the foam is mandatory, but yeah, just dump it in plastic for the patio. All in all, a negative experience and one I won't repeat. My advice is to give the customer what they want, don't threaten employees, and eat the cost of a few broken glasses. To be clear: I get the notion of aromas and such, but this isn't Russian River or Alchemist, or even The Veil (none of which have foam mandates). I could even understand if they were busy (I was the only one ordering), but I wouldn't have asked for a longer pour under those circumstances. The beers are average regionals and customer service and good treatment of employees are non-negotiables. I hope ownership sees this and chills out; the person who pays for the beer dictates the pour, not you.

    Our server Gracie was awesome. She was so polite and attentive…read more Our food surprised us we weren't sure what to expect, but everything was fresh and prepared perfectly.

    Dear Management Team, Today, May 5, 2026 at 6:15 pm…read more I am writing to formally express my disappointment with a recent experience at your downtown Richmond location, Capital Ale House. On the evening of our visit, I hosted a party of 11 guests. Everyone in our party was present and seated by 6:10 PM. Unfortunately, the service we received from our waitress, Jen, was unacceptable from the start. Her tone and approach toward our table came across as brash and unwelcoming. As we attempted to simplify our order by keeping it on one check, her responses were dismissive rather than helpful. At one point, I was told in a cold and abrupt manner that I could not have my carrot cake before my meal because "that's not the way it comes." This interaction set the tone for the remainder of the evening. I requested to speak with a manager on four separate occasions, and each time my request was declined or ignored. It was only after Jen visibly became frustrated and stumped away that a manager was finally brought to the table. When Ruby, who identified herself as the manager, arrived, her initial response felt defensive rather than solution-oriented. While she did eventually apologize and stated she would take care of us by ensuring we received happy hour pricing, the overall experience had already been negatively impacted. What makes this especially disappointing is that I am a regular customer who dines at this location for lunch at least three times a month. I chose to bring my family here expecting a positive experience, and instead, it was quite the opposite. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve both customer service and management responsiveness moving forward. I would appreciate follow-up regarding this matter.
