    a glass of soda and a sandwich on a table

    Was at the Richmond airport and needed something decent to eat / drink. The Sam Adams place worked great. Food was fine and decent salads. I want to call out the GREAT selection of beers. Had a local Virginia "Pathway Porter" and then a "Legend Brown Ale". So glad I did not have to suffer throug my a macro brew or "our darkest beer is....."some IPA"". Thank you!!!

    Ok! Before getting on your magic carpet ride, stop by Sam Adams bar at the Richmond International Airport. Cozy up to the bar and say hello to Leigh. As a hospitality industry veteran and a working hospitality consultant, I know hospitality when I feel it within 2 minutes. Leigh is one of the very rare breed of the authentic hospitality professionals. Have a glass of wine and chill with Leigh. You won't be disappointed! Cheers and safe travels.

    Bacon, egg, & cheese biscuit meal.

    Had the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit meal. It comes with hash browns (which were perfectly cooked). Good prices - worth it. Service, Martin, was great!!! Thank you Martin. The food was great, fresh, and served hot. The didn't take excessively long to come out, but just long enough that you know it's being cooked fresh. Biscuit great and bacon cooked perfectly without me having to ask. I'll come back if I'm ever in RIC again!!!

    The service from Tabbi was AWESOME! She made my time here pleasant as I waited for my flight back home. The ambience was expected for an airport restaurant and the food was really good. Will for sure come back next time I visit Richmond

    The Patron Mexican Restaurant & Cantina - Taco Salad with chicken

    Really enjoyed my first visit here. The food and service were just fantastic! Btw those margaritas…read moreare off the hook. I had their chef cali edition with chicken and chorizo. It was delicious and the vegetables were very nicely steamed and crisp. The queso and salsa were also perfect. Great spot with super great and friendly service and excellent food. We'll be back.

    Food: If you're looking for decent tex-mex, then this place will get the job done. I can't complain…read moreabout chips and salsa, and if you like spicy, ask for the spicy salsa, which is not that spicy, but at least a little more heat than the regular one. I ordered the steak fajitas and the meat was tough and overdone. I also felt like they were not very generous with the sour cream and guac. It was unusual that I got slices of tomato instead of pico de gallo. Others seemed pretty content with their meals. Service/Ambiance: I was pleasantly surprised that our server allowed our group of 20+ to do separate checks. We were also seated in a separate area so it was only our group in the room, which was nice, otherwise the restaurant itself can get quite loud. Unfortunately, we ran into some issues with our orders, extra tortillas were missed, and they brought out beef burritos instead of bean burritos for one of the orders. Would I come again? Only if I had a large group since the side room was nice, otherwise, I'd probably check out another place in the area.
