We arrived before the lunch rush, by golly we had the best timing as we were able to ask our server about the bestselling dishes. He had suggested a salmon reuben. Hubby got the bahn mi. Initially when we arrived there was one other customer but upon exiting I noticed that there was a queue for seats yet the noise level was not loud at all. There's an attached shop for those who want food quickly, yet again it filled up quickly. The neighborhood is undergoing a transformation for the newer generation that's working so we felt safe. Though there were plenty of generations in the restaurant. Huge portions and a clean dining room with attached parking are perfect! We will return.
This super affordable elevated diner is really cute! They have awesome happy hour deals and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. My friends and I came here before a movie screenings at Studio Two Three. They had parking spots out front and free street parking nearby. The people who work here are incredibly sweet. Our waiter was very playful and funny. He made us laugh a few times and was really attentive. We were a group of a five and everything went smoothly. Our gluten-free friend was even able to get any sandwich and switch the bread. We went on a Tuesday so they had Tito's Tuesday going on with cheap spiked Limeade specials. There were a lot of drink specials. I can't remember the name of the cheerwine whisky special I got, but that was creative! Their food servings are HUGE HERE. You can really get a bang for your buck. I could barely finish my Continental Club. It was a very stacked club and I think I would've prefered something else. We also got happy hour mozzarella sticks. It's a sweet American spot! I'd be excited to try other things on the menu.
I'll jump right to the espresso martini - i appreciate being asked if I typically like my coffee sweet or not so the flavor could be adjusted + it was wonderful! A great balance of espresso + vodka and a pretty foam right on top. We had our order taken within 5 minutes of arrival and it came out correct. We loved sitting outside and car + people watching. There's also a large TV outside to watch sports games on. Back to the food... The French toast deserves a round of applause...I wasn't expecting as much on my plate but I was happy to get it. And the berries were a nice touch. The spicy honey chicken is understandably popular! The bread was perfect for the mildly saucy chicken and the entire thing was yummy! The Continental Crush was ok... but lackluster compared to my espresso martini.
Just discovered this gem in an area that has been (and still is) revitalized into a more modern and upscale urban community. Many new apartments and businesses surrounding, but still offering off-street parking, this Restaurant/bar/gastropub fits in perfectly. We stopped by for lunch today, and we were greeted warmly, seated immediately. Server was friendly and helpful, pointing out some of the customers favorites. I opted for the Banh Mi: slow roasted pork, ham, pickled veggies, cilantro, and sambal mayo on a crunchy torpedo. Wife enjoyed a Salmon Reuben: pastrami spiced salmon on rye with continental sauce, swiss cheese and jicama apple slaw. Both come with a choice of side, ranging from super healthy to indulgent. I opted for Asiago covered broccolini, while wife had sweet potato fries (asking for no salt was no problem). All were excellent (although I won with my Bahn Mi!). Portions were generous, although so tasty we didn't waste very much at all. We decided next time to maybe split an order, which would certainly be enough, but there are many other choices that we still want to try. (Saw one lady with a lamb dip that looked enticing, and a salad was carried to another customer that seemed very generous.). Finally, their breads and rolls were exceptional! Torpedo roll was crusty exterior with pillowy soft inside, and the rye was seeded caraway and herbs, freshly baked. Bar looked nice and there were a number of drink specials offered - I can imagine that this is a vibrant place in the evening! Definitely will be back when in the area!
I stopped here for brunch with an out-of-town friend before an afternoon of Manchester-area brewery hopping. Conveniently located on Hull Street, this is the sister restaurant to the Libbie/Grove Continental -- a venue closer to me that I've frequented much more. It was pretty toasty outside, so we opted to sit inside and were seated in a 2-person booth after a brief wait. The restaurant is cute and on the smaller side, and they seemed mildly understaffed as it did take a while to get our food. I ordered a spinach and feta omelet and subbed a salad instead of potatoes. I also ordered a coffee, which was pretty good. The omelet was okay - not my favorite by any means - but made better with salt and pepper. My friend enjoyed his BLT. I'd return sometime to try their dinner options.
We come here often because we love the food and service. At the risk of aging myself, I really really enjoy good service. I can deal with food issues but service is key to me. Do yourself a favor and give The Continental a try.. The Tiki Masala wings and chorizo nachos were delicious and Anastasia's service was above and beyond, in fact the whole crew from host, cooks, manager were amazing. We will absolutely be back!
We love this place and keep coming. Today we had lunch and our food was great. Each dish was made generously with fresh ingredients, I was glad that we could switch French Fries to Vegetable. My husband ordered beef brisket was very tender and soft. Noon time was pretty crowded but our server was friendly. There is a small market place next to the restaurant which has good coffee and light box to go food with choices. It is a nice place for family gatherings.
Me and my boyfriend come here often for date nights, the service is always amazing and the food is mouth watering!! The restaurant is super comfy and cozy. It is super convenient as it is a short walk from us. The penne vodka ala continental is amazing! 5 stars all around.
When I say dont walk, but run for the unique, delicious sandwiches...Chefs Kiss, this sandwiche is so pleasing to the palate, cooked to perfection, seasoned and so well put together topped with an amazing slaw and that sauce...I promise you will not regret the visit...the staff is awesome Chelsea my server and Aaron the host made my experience even better...I take my hat off to Tim that created this delectable masterpiece.
One of my favorite spots in Richmond for lunch. This is the first time I have gotten to go and they were timely and as always great service. I usually get the salmon reuben but decided to try the Turkey Reuben this time. I have to say I might have like the turkey even better due to the texture and flavor that came from the turkey. I got sweet potato fries to go with them that were perfectly crispy, even to go! I'm sure I will be trying them again soon!
We went to The Continental today for lunch and it was amazing! We were sat quickly and even the though the place was packed the service was quick and friendly. Due to unforeseen plans we had to get our entrees Togo which they had no problem with and we were out in 5 minutes. I ordered the vodka lime aid a beer French deep and my husband ordered the Cobb salad. All were amazing and we will definitely be back!
I like the place for the service and drinks. The food is pretty spot on but can sometimes be a miss. I will say that the service has always been excellent even when they are slammed busy. I got the Pancho Villa which was a massive serving and messy! The home fries were cooked and seasoned to perfection. We got our little ones the maple sausage corn dogs to share and they were delicious! Next time I will likely order the corn dog for myself!

I went with some friends after a walk and it was a pleasant experience. My friends got a burger and a sandwich. They were very happy with their choices. I got the meatball sub and while the flavor was great, the meatballs and sauce were a bit paltry. The bread to filling ratio just felt off (to me). The fries were so good! I got the sweet potato fries and my friends got the regular fries. Both of them were great. The Continental was nice and I'd recommend it to others. read more
3 of us stopped in here for dinner on a Saturday evening. It was not empty but not full either. We were seated quickly. The service was good throughout. I got a Turkey Rueben and the others got burgers of some sort. They came out correct, quick and hot. We hung around some after and were not rushed out. Definitely worth a try and we will be back as we hang out down there some with friends. read more

We enjoyed a relaxing brunch at The Continental. Parking was surprisingly easy. I love that they take reservations. Our table was ready when we arrived. My companion and I each had brisket. She had a sandwich and I had the Brisket Benedict: brisket, sautéed onions & mushrooms, poached eggs, popovers, asparagus, with horseradish chive hollandaise. I was very disappointed that it didn't work for me. Individually the components were delicious and prepared perfectly. Unfortunately, the flavors and textures didn't meld well FOR ME. It was prepared and presented well. The accompanying home fries were just ordinary. I enjoyed the restaurant's vibe. Seating was comfortable and encouraged conversation. Service was exemplary. Morgan G kept our glasses filled and was never intrusive. They clearly brought our food out promptly because the poached eggs were perfect. Nothing holds up worse than poached eggs left sitting. read more
Had brunch here on a Saturday. Our server Karla was very welcoming and explained very well some of the choices in the menu. Brisket Benedict was soo delicious. The poached eggs, hollandaise on top with the very yummy home fries were excellent. Salmon Reuben was fresh, light yet very flavorful. I split the french toast into two for dessert (hence the serving portion in the picture). The yogurt, whipped cream on top of the yummy toast with syrup was perfect to end the meal there. Though there were some flies in the restaurant, the food, service and ambience were that awesome that I would give it a 5/5. read more

My husband and I visited here for the first time on a Saturday morning and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The service was excellent, the food was hot and tasty, and sitting outside gave us the ambiance we were looking for that day. I ordered the lamb with eggs on top which was cooked to perfection. My husband enjoyed his chorizo burrito with home fries. We tried the Brussel sprouts and loved the savory taste, including the texture. The price matched the amount given on each plate. We plan on being regulars here. read more

My husband and I went recently for Duke's "hot tomato summer" and this place is seriously underrated! I wouldn't have thought to come out here, as this location is a little out of the way and their other location is close to us, but the difference between the two are night and day. We had the smoked michelada, fried green tomato sandwich (special) and the hot chicken sandwich (and had it with their special "volcanic mater wing" sauce). Everything was delish! But when I tell you this chicken sandwich is one of the BEST I had in years....it was crispy, juicy, the breading was crunchy, and the sauce was spicy as hell but exactly what I wanted bread was the perfect ratio and the pickles were just what it needed to balance out the heat. I would highly recommend and we are looking forward to going again!! read more

I enjoyed the taste of our food. My burger and brussels were nice. The selections are good. Two things- I asked for Dijon mustard and was told there would be an up charge for that- what?!!!! I have never! Secondly- the cleanliness of the restrooms are not good. Pic included. How much time does it take to wash the doors so they do not look like a porta potty door? Make your own judgment. read more

My friend invited me to this spot and it was new for me. I love the location and design and the food menu seemed interested. I've been here 3x since my first visit, so clearly I love it here! The food is amazing and so is the staff. So far, I've tried the Greek salad, fried oysters, and the slow roasted lamb sliders -- all amazing!! Definitely give this place a try. 5/5 read more

The vibe of the restaurant is lovely and very cozy, and the location is convenient with Stella's Grocery as their neighbor. I got the Salmon Reuben, and it was good- it wasn't stellar but it was an interesting sandwich. Although, one of my friends had the fries and they were incredibly soft and flavorful. Very delicious! The service was great as well! read more

It was pretty empty when we went but I felt like the food and service was great. I can't give a single word of feedback. I quite enjoyed my time. read more
The Continental was a great place to spend the morning with friends over a casual brunch. We were seated right away and the service was friendly throughout. The vibe was similar to an upscale diner, and the food didn't disappoint. I tried the Brisket Benedict - all the individual components tasted great and they worked well together, without feeling overly fatty or salty. All of the entrees in our group were around $15, which felt reasonable for their size. I'm looking forward to my next visit already. read more

It is always so good! Every time I go I get the turkey French dip and it is like thanksgiving in your mouth! It has turkey and a deliciously seasonal tasting cranberry sauce. I always pair it with their buffalo Brussels sprouts. I could eat those Brussels sprouts for every meal of every day!! It's such a cute spot and the service is always great! read more
The staff was wonderful! Fast service. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and kind of regretted it, it was absolutely smothered in sauces and very sweet. Not the spicy and sweet sandwich I was hoping for. Although if you enjoy lots of sauce and sweet things you'd probably enjoy it. Loved the fries! The where thick and crispy. If I go there again I'll try something else, there were other dishes that looked better. read more
We came to the continental around 4 pm - not busy at all. Our server was attentive and had great recommendations like the buffalo brussel sprouts. They were delicious! Family friendly and calm, quiet environment during the time we went. We will definitely be back again to try some different things. The turkey dip was delicious - tasted like thanksgiving! read more

The vibe of the continental was great, I loved the energy and decor. The outdoor patio was private and breezy. The food was unique and yummy. I ordered the salmon Reuben, absolutely delicious. As for service our server neglected us. 15 minute wait time for drinks, with already empty restaurant. Never checked to see how our food came out, waters remained empty, all while giving extra attention to the table next us. read more
