    Cobb salad
    Nancy C.

    The Continental is a great spot with a varied menu and consistently good food. Their Cobb salad is one of my favorite in Richmond with generous portions, delicious toppings, and maximum freshness. I also love their salmon Ruben! As a pescatarian, I am always on the look out for creative fish dishes and the salmon Ruben always hits the spot.

    Hot brown
    Michael S.

    Surprisingly good. I say that in light of the obvious focal point of a long bar and sports TVs. We had a great late lunch. The Hot Brown was delish, with ample bacon and great brown sauce. It came with very well seasoned fries that tasted good even when not quite warm any more. My Kuba Libre (the sammy not the cocktail) was packed with incredible flavor, with lots of ham, pickles, and a well done (as requested) burger. 5 star sandwich, even though the sandwich design did not for a moment assume anyone could pick this up and hold it together. It is a sloppy mess. BIG thanks for the chosen side of dressed greens.... the salad greens were well selected for lots of flavor (okay even if it is a Sysco mix you chose well) and the dressing was very good -- good enough I chose to finish my salad instead of my sandwich. The bartender waited on our table and paid proper attention. TVs were tuned to golf, soccer, and tennis. Volume was off. Will definitely stop in again.

    Penne Continental

    Had a great time at The Continental! Met up with a friend for a little after work meal on a weekday and we were seated outside rather quickly. The menu spans a variety of items from sandwiches to pizzas to pasta and even more. There is definitely something for everyone and I struggled picking something because everything sounded so good. I ended up choosing the Penne Continental which came covered in a delicious gorgonzola sauce and sides of garlic bread. The portion size was incredible and I even had leftovers for the next day. The ambiance outside was wonderful with pretty lighting and what appeared to be a cherry blossom (or other pink flowering) tree out in the front. They even have heaters available for the cooler spring winds. The service was quick and I was able to enjoy the area. I would definitely return to try those other menu items I was eyeing. Warning it is mainly street parking with a few paid lots. It was quite hard to find parking on the Thursday we went so I'd keep that in mind.

    My fave place to go for a giant salad! The Easthampton and Kale Caesar are top tier. Love the jalapeño cornbread muffins that come with as well. They have just the right balance of sweet and spicy. The service is always friendly and the place has a chill neighborhood vibe.

    Came here w my wife--so many people have told us to try it since we moved to Richmond from Austin half a year ago. We were not disappointed. Nice ambiance...like an old diner really, but darker so a more chill than busy vibe. Service was great, and the food too--nice Happy Hour specials. My wife and loved the cheese fries and the wings--tried both the Ancho chile and white Bbq sauces. The Titanic wedge salad was huge!...like a wedge on top of the other wedge all cut up...big! It came w a jalapeno cheese cornbread muffin too. Excellent. They allow dogs in the front part thats outside and covered, and more outside seating exists beyond that which you can bring your dogs to. 5 stars.

    Great to be in westhampton on a fall day. The continental is casual (I could say dive-y even), booth with high backs and a big-o bar. The food is very nice. I didn't manage to take photos except the desert, but my dining partner enjoyed the salmon Reuben and a daily special. I was so intrigued by the intention of a salmon Reuben but I suppose it's healthier? Anyway it tastes just like a Reuben sandwich with its very tasty sauce. The key lime pie is also quite nice. You know what they say - you can't get the real key-lime pie outside the Keys. But I think this is a pretty good version. Our waiter was very friendly and prompt. Great experience for a quick lunch.

    Always a great spot for food and a nice hole in the wall vibe. I've eaten here for years and have always loved it. Dinner, lunch, brunch, etc, this is a consistently good spot that's roots have been planted for a long time! The vodka limeades take me back to when I used to visit this place for brunch in college. Now I need a solid kids menu! They've got great variety of hot and cold dishes. I love fried oysters and these are top notch. I usually order their salads (Greek has a ton of protein with grilled chicken and huge slices of fresh feta cheese!) and my husband goes for a French dip whenever he can. Only piece of advice of things to skip the regular French fries. They seem like they were frozen and aren't very good. Go for the sweet potato fries or hand cut chips. I believe they are house made and are very delicious! If there was an up charge, it was well worth the substitution!

    I love the continental! It is my go to spot in the entire city! I love the location and the staff is lovely! Inside has a fun feeling to it and there is so much space on the patios for outdoor dinning! The drinks are so good! This time I got an aperol spritz, but you can't go wrong with any of there drinks! My go to meal is either the turkey dip or the three Chopt, which is their spin on the cob salad! Servings are monstrous! I always take half my meal home!

    Maria T.

    The happiest of all hours! The vodkas limeades are the best! This is my "go to" restaurant and the one I most recommend to out-of-towners and locals alike! All the sandwiches are delish, specials are fab, and the brunches are without equal! Run, don't walk, to the continental! Best place on the continent!

    Fried Pickles and Spanakopita

    I came here on happy hour with my friends and the atmosphere is pretty chill here. The staff were pretty busy but they were still pretty nice. I ordered a Salmon Rueben and My friends ordered the appetizers. The Calamari was meh but everything else I had, was so buss. I wouldn't come here for a family dinner but I would come here for the happy hour.

    Nachos with chicken

    Very good meal. We split an order of nachos with chicken green beans and a smoked BLT. A lot of food ! We enjoyed everything.

    Beef French dip with Brussels Sprouts
    Leland L.

    Continental is one of my favs!! This has to be the best place in town for classic American food where you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's all so good. I love the variety of seating options, the large booths, and the outdoor tables with heaters are great when it's nice out. Like I said, you can't go wrong with this menu. But my absolutely favorite is the beef French dip. And you have to get the Brussel sprouts on the side!

    Burnt, dry, and hardened single patty burger. 4/10.
    P.K. S.

    Amazing location right on Grove. Parking was a bit difficult to find during lunchtime. Service was fast considering the lunch rush. The food is your typical "bar food", but certainly not the best bar food I've had. The bacon burger I had was pretty burnt - every bite was hard and crunchy. The nachos were sad - they were a bit stale tasting, and the toppings were minimal.

We were seated in the Lounge area near the entrance and it was pretty nice. My MIL loved the cow painting that was hanging. There is a lot of animal art where we were seated. The service is great here. We were checked in on a lot, but not in an overbearing way. This is located in Libbie Mill, so there is a lot of free street parking and parking lot spaces. They had women and men's restrooms. This is a sister restaurant to Julep's in downtown. I have been wanting to try this spot for a long time now and am happy we finally did. They are very creative with their dishes here and I think sometimes it makes a big bang and other times it falls a little flat. My MIL and I both got the springria. She got the red and I got the white. The red was the better of the two. We started with a caesar salad and the lamb empanadas for the table. The salad was fine, it had too much going on for me. We all loved the lamb empanadas (our waitress even said they were her favorite). We all loved the butter and bread choices that we started the meal with. I really liked the cornbread. For mains, my fiance and I shared the sirloin special. My MIL got the soft shell crab. My mom got the branzino. I love that they split the sirloin for us, it was so kind and perfectly portioned for us. It was a tasty special. The branzino was a great cut of fish, however, the sauce combinations made it a bit confusing, so we weren't the biggest fan of the flavor. My MIL adored her soft shell crab. We all had a wonderful time here!

It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

I wanted some sambuca, but they had none, which is disappointing. I did see a banana bread pudding dessert, so I opted for that. The single bartender who was working was crazy busy that it took him about 15 minutes to put in my order, then by the time I got it, it was cold, as it took another 15 minutes for him to finally run back to the kitchen to get it. They were quite busy that evening, but that's not my problem, nor his... There was a server handling the dining room area and I think that was all I saw. They really need better staffing and MUCH BETTER MANAGEMENT, as running out of a popular digestif in a popular hotel really isn't acceptable. The flavor of my banana bread pudding was nice, but the temperature messed it up. Overall, I'm glad I wasn't tied to "having to eat here" like other business travelers might be... There's very little in the close area and nothing in walking distance from here. But I'll not ear here again. I visit the Richmond area very often for business and though I liked the hotel stay, I didn't like this experience, so I'd probably choose to stay at the downtown Richmond Marriott or the Short Pump Hilton next time instead, just because both have a true "full service" offering, including a nice bar.
