Millie’s Diner
For some time now we’ve been meaning to try brunch at Millie’s Diner out on the east end of Main Street, just down the hill from St. John’s Church. Whenever the subject came up of where we should eat, one of our friends would always say “have you tried Millie’s?” Thanks to a door prize [...]
Inter China Restaurant
So, what do you do when you show up in a strip shopping mall for an early Sunday lunch and the Italian restaurant you’ve chosen doesn’t open for another hour? Our choices left were between a popular burger chain, known for greasy, but tasty burgers or a Chinese restaurant that has operated in the same [...]
Flinn’s on North Ridge
Sunday after church is a great time to head out for brunch, and it’s always great to find a “new” or different place to try. So, six of us decided to check out Flinn’s on North Ridge Road. We’d been to that location when it had been Graffiti Grille, or was it River’s Ridge? Both [...]
Enjoying the Local Goodness of The Urban Farmhouse
While I generally eat at my desk, I chanced to meet a former work colleague for lunch the other day. Neither of us wanted the standard sandwich or pizza, so she suggested we check out The Urban Farmhouse which is located at 12th and Cary in the historic Shockoe Slip. Stepping inside is somewhat like [...]
Dinner and a Movie All In One
I don’t know who they were, but the person who created the concept of CinéBistro was a genius. My wife and I recently went there for dinner and a viewing of Hope Springs. Sure it’s a total chick flick, but that didn’t seem to matter because the food and experience were great. CinéBistro is located [...]
Serving Up The Best Burgers In Town
Lots of restaurants will tell you that they have the best burger in town. But at Carytown Burger and Fries, they just might. Owner Mike Barber daily buys the best fresh ground beef which he uses to grill your burger to order. This is not a fast food burger restaurant. Nothing gets cooked ahead of [...]
Kitchen 64 Restaurant Review
When you think of the North end of the Boulevard, up by the Diamond and under I-64, you’re not going to be inclined to think “let’s go grab a great meal!” And you wouldn’t think that you’d find it in such an unassuming building. But think again. Kitchen 64 opened in 2007 as Johnny and [...]
Buz and Ned’s Restaurant Review
Since they opened their second location in the old Fuddrucker’s building near the intersection of Broad and Parham, we’ve been wanting to try Buz and Ned’s. So today, after standing outside a crowded Tae Kwon Do studio next door while my son got his red belt, I kept smelling the great aromas coming from Buz [...]
Candela’s Huguenot Review
Back when my older son was playing baseball, we used to visit Candela’s on Huguenot on a regular basis. It was a great place to take the team after the game for some good pizza and good Italian food. But when he graduated we got out of the habit of going since pizza these days [...]
Sine Irish Pub Review
Richmond’s historic Shockoe Slip has long been the scene of some of the city’s finest restaurants and best nightlife. Much of the land in Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe slip was part of Colonel William Mayo’s plan of the city. This is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. The building of the James River Flood Wall [...]
