    First time trying this spot. Seems a little easy to miss. I assume they function primarily as a take out spot but I was ready to eat ASAP so I dined in. The service was really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great music choices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The gentleman who took my order (maybe the owner too I'm not sure) was very nice and attentive. He gave me the run down on the menu and checked on me often. I got tenders, fries, cornbread, Mac and cheese and lemonade. Tenders were definitely my favorite part. Definitely quality chicken. Mac and cheese was cool, doesn't taste like anywhere else. I could go for more cheese. Fries were yummy. Cornbread wasn't for me. Lemonade had country time lemonade powder mix vibes. Definitely will be back to try out the wings.

    By far the best underground restaurants we have found. Great service, great people, amazing food. It was a total vibe. Shout out to the owner for giving such great service and offering military discount. Y'all are amazing and we will definitely be back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This little spot is a nice vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I drank two margaritas while I waited for my food. Everything was super seasoned. They also have happy hour on some days. The staff were really cool.

    Whole wings w/ honey garlic sauce and side of green beans. Also pictured is what's left of the cornbread.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pulled up to find the place slightly packed for a Wed. evening - definitely a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I initially had my heart set on demolishing a shrimp basket, but they were out. Tragic. Ended up with the whole chicken wings and green beans (yes, I paid the extra $2 to skip the fries, because apparently that's who I am now). Took one bite of the cornbread that came with the meal before I even pulled off and instantly knew I'd made the right choice. The green beans? Seasoned like somebody's grandmama was back there. They didn't stand a chance after my first forkful. Wings came out hot enough to make me question my fingerprints but mama ain't raise no quitter. Staff were friendly and helpful over the phone and when I arrived. I would risk disappointment over shrimp again!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this place! It smells great before you step in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I had time to stop in every visit to Richmond. I do not eat enough soul food and its hard to find a good one when traveling. I had the fish (whiting) and one side. All the right temperature and seasoning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I ate in and used the restroom. No issues with either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A young man helped me and that went well. It was a weekday Friday between 11-1pm. There were two other tables dining in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and warm (early March).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You know what I have a photo from my IG *posted*

    I was in the area at an event at the convention center and decided to give Side Chic a try. It's a family owned and run black business. Upon arrival we were greeted immediately and seated after a few mins. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is spacious and well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The wife/mom and daughter were bussing tables and the mom said their daughter is the side chic. She was so cute maybe 4 or 5 years old and already helping with the family business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wife shared that her daughter was the inspiration for the logo and her husband was the one who drew the logo. Our server (I think her name was Taylor) came over and took our order. I went with the peach lemonade, shrimp and fries basket and 6 piece honey garlic wings. Everything is made fresh to order so it did take some time to come out. We wanted the wings as an appetizer but it came out after our entrees. The husband/father who introduced himself as Lou was one of the staff to drop off food to our table. He was very polite and even shared his plans about updating the logo when we asked about his process with drawing it. The food was super delicious. My eyes were bigger than my belly cause I ordered more than I could eat. Everything was seasoned well and fried to perfection. The leftovers heated nicely the next day. Overall, great customer service, tasty food and reasonable prices. I definitely recommend.

    The service was great! We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Our food was cooked fresh and was delicious we got honey garlic and buffalo Thai chili. The wings were a good size. We also tried the mac & cheese which I didn't care for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was nicely decorated with pink and black.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Lu and his wife were super sweet! My friend and I visited on the 4th of July with the intention of getting wings and a few other things, but they were sold out of the wings! I was so sad, because the wings looked sooo good on social media but we decided to get a chicken sandwich, shrimp, fish, and a variety of sides. Everything was seasoned very well and is made cook to order so it's fresh! Our food took about 20 minutes after ordering. My friend and I sat and watched tv near one of the screens they had. The portion sizes were pretty good; the catfish is HUGEEEEE. We really enjoyed everything we had. My friend especially enjoyed the potato salad. I'm a little sad they ran out of chicken, but I understand that it was a holiday. We were actually one of the last customers of the day because they had sold out of everything after us. Wishing this business the best of luck and I can't wait to come back to try the chicken!

    I visited Side Chic for the first time on a late Friday afternoon. The restaurant was completely empty although I did see a woman stop in to pick up her phone order. The gentleman at the register was very helpful and polite. I ordered 4 chicken tenders and 6 wings along with Carla's sauce and honey garlic sauce on the side. I was informed that their wings are fresh and made to order, so it would take about 15 minutes to prepare. He recommended that I call in next time to avoid the wait, but I wasn't in a hurry and didn't mind. I posted up and watched some TV (they have four flat screens hanging). My wait time was a little over 20 minutes. I typically check my takeout before leaving the restaurant (or my parking space), but it's not a perfect record. That day, I wish I had. The chicken tenders were great. Nicely seasoned, a bit crispy, perfectly sized. The wing dings had potential and were even more seasoned than the tenders; however, 5 out of 6 of them wanted to fly away. As you can see in my photos, the wings were not properly cleaned as they still had visible feathers in the skin. And, one of my sauces was missing. The wings and tenders were packaged in the same container which wasn't a huge deal since they were all for me, but just be aware of this in case you're buying food for multiple people. I called the restaurant to attempt to resolve the feather issue, but I was told by the gentleman who assisted me earlier that he would need to have his manager call me back. I visited the restaurant on Friday, April 19th, but as of the time of this review, I have not received a call back. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. I wanted to continue to patronize this business because the food does actually taste great, but the feathery wings in addition to the failure to return my call just doesn't cut it for me.

    Taste Be Found!!!! Was my reaction to Side Chic!!! I was so hype to try this establishment, due to the reviews on Instagram, bad choice...the service was ok after waiting about 15 minutes in a half empty restaurant between being seated and waited on...the staff were not dressed the best, rather sloppy in my opinion, the food can you say bland 10x we had the Big Daddy chicken sandwich with Carla sauce,2/10 it was blah, & tasteless...the chicken was cooked nicely, and the sandwich presented well...but was not seasoned at all!!! The fries were tasty 5/10, the mac & cheese was ok, but dry 4/10...the lemonade bussin...I won't be returning

    Stumbled across this small gem while in RVA. Definitely glad to have found it. Great menu and appreciated the special of the day. 3 wings with a side and corn bread. I have three wings with green beans and added potato salad. Daughter had wings with fries. Everything was great, chicken dropped fresh so a few minute wait but soooo worth it! The green beans and potato salad was some of the best I've had ( definitely a family recipe) Owner was very attentive and nice (thanks Lou) allowed us to eat inside even though they were about to close. Will definitely be back, try them out!

    Finally came here after passing by for a couple months now, since I moved into the area I've been super curious to stop in. I love the name and the location is literally walking distance from my place! I will say I met the owner who was super nice and the vibe was very friendly, I felt like I was hanging out with people I grew up with very personable and even had a regular stop in and we just all enjoyed casual conversation. I ordered to go so I enjoyed a nice cold beer while I waited, they have a really nice beer selection. Now for the food, I got fried chicken wings, with side of Mac n cheese, and it came with a muffin. The chicken wings weren't that bad, but for it to be a chicken place I thought it would be a little less basic, and it was a little too bready for me, and not as seasoned as I would've preferred. I'm sorry to say this but the Mac n cheese was not good at all, I actually had to throw it away I couldn't finish it. The noodles and cheese were hard and greasy. It's almost like they scraped the bottom of the barrel and gave it to me to eat. I mean the amount of oil was enough to cause heart palpitations, I really want to believe maybe I got a bad batch, because at first they said the Mac n cheese was all gone, and then came back and said they actually did have some, so maybe it really was scraped from the bottom of the barrel lol! The menus is pretty large so if I did come back I would maybe try a chicken sandwich, but staying faaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from the Mac cheese! The muffin was good though!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited yesterday and got the hot chicken sandwich meal with a lemonade! It was delicious and a pleasant environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Received a student discount and very appreciative! Service was amazing!

    First, when you walk in your are greeted by a kiosk. No people. YOU input your order on the screen,…read moreit asks for a tip - no humans yet. You pay. Somebody yells your name and YOU pick it up. When done, YOU bus your own table. No humans. So what is the tip for? 5 wings and fries is like $13. No drink. A little pricey but ok. The wings; Garlic Buffalo, with ranch fries. The fries were good. Coated with a batter. So if you like regular fries, not sure you would like them. The wings tasted OK. The sauce was pretty mild and packed with I assume jarred garlic bits. The wings were soggy and swimming in sauce. I ate 3. No point in wet soggy wings. The portion was very large - cook the wings longer? I am not sure of the reviews. Maybe this place is new and it is a hit and miss. Maybe people come out to the eating area so they can see what's going on? The look is standard chip shop. Nothing fancy.

    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

    Came here for lunch. This is a new establishment in the Richmond area. It is located in a strip…read moremall with plenty of parking. We came in and were greeted by a pleasant lady. 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.

    We placed a pickup order from R Town Wings. The person on the phone seemed genuinely annoyed, haha…read more We ordered 50 wings with five different flavors, plus a shrimp fried rice. 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.
