    the outside of the restaurant
    Troy B.

    Four of us went to dinner here around 8 pm on a Saturday. They were fairly full not no line at the door and open tables/booths. We were seated fairly quickly and that is when the good points stopped. It took quite some time to get our beer order delivered, but that was nothing compared to getting the food. OMG. We ordered straight of the menu with no changes- two chicken fajitas, cheesesteak and a quesadilla. Over an hour later and after two groups that came in after us had food, we asked the waitress if she knew what was going on with the order. She said "I cant control the kitchen"- not Oh my gosh, let me check on it. I am sorry for the wait... nothing.. Then after that she just dropped the check off with no verbal exchange. There are to many nice places in RIchmond to spend your money and time... this is not one of the

    Pulled Barbeque Platter

    Stumbled upon this hole in the wall and will definitely be back! Extensive menu with very reasonable prices and tons of options- ranging from veggie burgers to crab cakes. I ordered a pulled BBQ platter which was HUGE and very tender. Service was great.

    I don't know how long this place has been here, but I'd guess since the '80s, and nothing about it has changed since then, decor wise. It seems like everyone who was there when we were were regulars. Service was pleasant, relaxed and familiar. Food came out super fast. I got the crabcake sandwich with fries and "greens." Greens are not collard greens, but spring mix tossed in balsamic vinaigrette. The crabcake was not all that great, but it wasn't awful. My mom got a bacon cheeseburger with fried egg, french fries and mixed vegetables. The vegetables were perfectly al dente, which was unexpected for this kind of place. I expected them to be overcooked. She liked her burger, which is on the menu as a hamburger only. Cheese, bacon and egg were all a la carte. Kinda shocked the bill was over $50.

    First time coming here after an event my friend and I attended and were just looking for a quick bite. Came across this location on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. It's in a tucked location on the corner of Glenside Dr and Patterson Ave. Parking was pretty easy and we walked in and chose to sit in a booth. It was darker in there than I wanted it to be, but my eyes easily adjusted. (Being a new mom, I often need more lighting nowadays haha.) Our server was great and allowed us to sample a few of their featured beers. They had a lot of food to select from and I ended up deciding on a cheeseburger with onion rings. I didn't see Cheeseburger listed on the menu so I had to order the hamburger with cheese on it. The burgers came out at a reasonable time and allowed my friend and I to chat and catch up. The burger was good and the service was great. It just want not the spot for me. Definitely a neighborhood spot for the locals and it makes me miss living in the city (back in my "single" days haha). It was a nice experience to check out. I wouldn't mind coming back here and trying out their other options on the menu.

    Liked the patio dining, with a good, fast waiter, good food. Not showy, but solid. Barbecue plate was excellent. I'd go back. :)
