    Chicken Cobb Salad plus added shrimp with Bleu Cheese. It was hefty and so satisfying. I had two meals out of it.
    Sue F.

    Wow. My husband picked me up a chicken Cobb salad from this place and it did not disappoint. It was so fresh and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. The croutons are house made garlic bread croutons not crappy boxed ones. Those are so dry and gross. I'm always worried about getting a chicken breast that is bland and unseasoned so I opted to add shrimp to it. "Just in case". Both chicken and shrimp were incredible and the salad was so very hearty and fresh. On a Monday day too. Everyone knows you dont order out on Mondays. It passed the Monday test. I'd order here again and again.

    Not much parking for this carryout joint. Asked for ketchup, none given. Asked what sauce for the seafood. Given none. Everything dry, no condiments given that was asked for or promised. 2 stars because taste of food. If it wasnt for that, it would be 1 star, preferably 0 stars. Called order in. Quoted 20-25 minutes. Food was 45 minutes. Barely a thank you for waiting in the rain. Will not return.

    Mashed Sweet Potatoes

    Big Herm's has been on my list to try for a while. So glad I did!! First, the pricing is pretty good. I preferred for delivery -- they are making sure the bags have a no tamper sticker which is great for peace of mind. The food was delish! The shrimp was flavored just right, and crispy. I like the baked Mac & cheese, thought it was a little heavy on seasoning for me. And the mashed sweet potatoes were so good, nice and smooth! The cornbread was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. Let's talk about the cookies. My assumption when buying it was it's either be 1 cookie or a few small cookies. I was shocked when I opened the bag -- they're huge! And they were SO good. Perfect amount of nuts and chocolate chips. Big Herm's is now on my top RVA soul food places.

    I like Big Herm's every now and again, but it's definitely heavy. Last time it took me literal hours to finish my sandwich. I had ordered the "chicken cutlet," which was cut up chicken tenders...not a chicken cutlet at all. A chicken cutlet should be thin. Hopefully eventually they'll realize that and either modify the sandwich or update their menu to state "chicken cutlet sandwich." Nonetheless, it's good. Just a heads up that it's not what you might think. The mac and cheese side is super tasty but a little greasy. Delivery arrived on time. Prices are reasonable.

    MY GO-TO'S!!!! Roasted corn and asparagus salad; Big Herm's Wing Basket
    Julie P.

    A Jackson Ward staple! TLDR: ORDER FROM THEM RIGHT NOW!!!!! Big Herm's is absolutely breathtaking. My go to order is the ROASTED CORN AND ASPARAGUS SALAD and the BIG HERM'S WING BASKET. The blackened chicken is exactly how it should be - blackened and DELICIOUS. It is a good addition to the greens, corn, and asparagus. The sweet and spicy vinaigrette they have is the kick I have been missing in my salads. You can't miss out on that dressing. I have ordered the wing's basket 4 times on EatStreet and every time it has been delivered to me, the wings remain super crispy; I just LOVE the way Big Herm's wings are - fried to perfection and the batter on it is just a classic!! The cornbread has always been consistently amazing. I always order sweet potato fries on the side which they coat with cinnamon and makes me heart/stomach so so happy. Please don't miss out on this Jackson Ward staple. You need Big Herm's in your life.

    This is one of my new favorite spots! 1. Their cornbread is one of the best I've ever had - moist, sweet, with actual corn! 2. They give you a solid amount of food too and it's true comfort food. Check out their website for their weekday deals - like $5 wings on Mondays :) Also the sweet potato fries are so well seasoned. Just heads up though that in the to-go box they may get a little soggy along the way

    Big Herm's Kitchen was delicious and ready for pickup right on time! We ordered chicken tenders for the kids - juicy and fried just right - and fried seafood for my husband and I: oysters, shrimp and catfish. Everything was fried perfectly with fresh, homemade sauces. And the cornbread! Big Herm's cornbread is everything - sweet, savory, oh so good!

    I wish I could give you more stars! Everything and I mean everything was amazing! Thank you! I need you to spill the secret about that sauce on the wings! If you want some good food by people who know good food, stop at Big Herm's. #howwefight #webuyblack

    I love soul food but like the best of any cuisine, it's usually better served through your grandma. For that reason I'm generally skeptical but Big Herm's is the real deal. First thing to notice as you step inside is there's no seating area outside of a few chairs you can sit in while you wait for your food to be ready. If you're put off, don't be, it's a good sign. The menu is pretty simple. Some sandwiches, wings, and some baskets. Word to the wise, if you're getting a basket have someone to split it with. Soul food isn't a snack, it's not even a meal, it's a feast that will require a nap soon after. And Big Herm's is no different, you're going to get the itis and you're going to need a pillow. My personal favorite is the seafood combo basket (catfish, oysters, and shrimp) and for only $12 dollars you really aren't finding a better deal anywhere. Pair your order with some collards, mac n cheese, and yams for the best experience. I knocked off a star because the cornbread just wasn't for me. It was cold and hard and after the delicious meal I was just let down. Don't let that stop you from visiting thought because the food is amazing.

    Looking for a quick bit to eat while working downtown and stumbled into Big Herns. Ive heard about this place and seen pics of the food via social media but never had the opportunity to try it. The restaurant is TAKE OUT only and they are only open on the WEEKDAYs. When I came to order thankfully the line wasn't long and we got our food within 10-15 min which I feel is standard. They have a little picnic table to wait which happens to be available but if your on the go I would definitely call ahead and pick up. I believe they also have grubhub service for delivery as well. I was with my coworker and she got the catfish bites with sweet potato fries, cornbread, and coleslaw. The fish was cooked perfectly and not oily at all but light and fluffy. The sweet potato fires were hand down addicting, I couldn't stop stealing her fries . I liked that they weren't too sweet and they were perfectly cooked, even the cornbread had actual bits of corn in it topped with a cinnamon glaze. I got the blanked chicken sandwich which came with bacon and caramelized onions . The chicken was juicy and my bacon was crispy. The only I thing I would change is the bread, which was kinda soggy and couldn't hold together all deliciousness of my sandwich. The mac& cheese sooooo cheesy and deff baked about not box made. Shout out to the staff at Big Herns. I had an issue with my meal and cashier was quick to fix the situation plus she was really nice. Bonus I got some free cookies for the inconvenience and they were really good (chocolate cinnamon pecan). I Will definitely be back to try the shrimp salad, all the pics look so good and most likely call ahead.

    Garlic parmesan wings, Mac and cheese and cornbread.
    Candice T O.

    First time here and I will be back! Ordered the wing basket (garlic parmesan)with Mac and cheese. The basket comes with your choice of a side and corn bread. The wings were seasoned very nicely, the chicken was juicy and had a slight crunch on the outside. The Mac and cheese was good, the corn bread.. the corn bread.. the corn bread.. it was sweet and cake like, fluffy and filling. I ordered on a Thursday which means 1/2 off desserts, so I ordered a piece of sweet potato pie. Which was tasty, like everything else. Overall I was very satisfied. This is a takeout or delivery only spot not a restaurant.

    I everything is good here. The staff is super friendly and kind. Made me feel like home. Didn't rush me to order and had short discussions for recommendations. Hidden Gem although it's not really hidden --THEY KNOW THE COUNT!

    House salad with fried oysters
    Chandler S.

    I LOVE the food here! The House salad with fried oysters is my go to meal! The oysters are seasoned amd the ranch just sets it off! There is also a grilled oyster option. I don't give them 5 stars because I do notice a decline in the customer service when Big Herm isnt there himself. But the food is so good I still go, I just place my order through digital options so I just have to tell them my name and go on about my day. The bread pudding is great as well.

The next family in line included 2 elderly women and a baby all dressed gorgeous, they also were told they had to wait outside in 105 weather. After about 20 minutes of waiting, (I was just going to tell them to forget it) they said our table was ready. Well, instead of inside with AC as we requested we were seated in a gazebo porch area that they claimed had AC. By this time we were so desperate for cool, we didn't argue that we had requested INSIDE not whatever this room was. It ended up being like sitting in a tuna can. So uncomfortable, my husband and bro in law just went and sat in the car with the AC blasting. Waitress was sporadic to put it nicely. Meanwhile, back inside the booth across from the hostess stand was still empty. Food was fine. But I don't think this place will be around much longer.

It's a bit of an investment, but the freshness and food quality is excellent. The wait staff and window folks are courteous and very competent. I've never been disappointed. I wholeheartedly recommend Sugar's Crab Shack for a delicious meal you'll be sure to remember fondly!

    Today my wife wanted to get some fish and I was already down with the plan. We went to our spot…read moreSugar's and we were the first in line and had a short wait no more than 20 minutes since they started serving people. I ordered the just fish that comes with ten (10) pieces. Yes count them 1, 2,3,...10. Just like the Count on Sesame Street. Everyone is locked on right. I paid the money and the guy at the counter charged me for how many? Ten (10) fish pieces. After my short wait, my order was ready. The guy at the window showed me the fish looking golden brown and delicious. Hot piping hot. I said they looked good and ready for liftoff. Got to the car and my wife and I were happy at the time. After several hours and other stops we made it home. We live in Baltimore Md. A short 4 hour ride away. When my wife had unpacked the food and she asked me did I eat any fish? I said No? If I had she would have killed me before the plate got cold. She said that then they (Sugar's) did not give us piece number 10. The Boss was not happy and neither was I. Now I don't mind paying for delicious food and will do again. What I do mind is paying for fish that does not appear on my plate. I felt RIPPED OFF! If someone in the back of the house can't count to ten (10) and your employing someone who doesn't know how to count to 10, I am wondering what else is going on in the back of the house. Advise 1) Moving forward I will ask them to count them before accepting the finished product 2) Don't buy the Onion Rings. My wife does not care for them and she is an Onion ring person. Let's do this again but I'm bring the Count with me and the number 10 JUST TO MAKE SURE WERE CLEAR!

    This is a great spot that we found while traveling through downtown Richmond. It's a short walk…read morefrom the Hilton, and right in the middle of other shops, restaurants and a church across the street. We were seated at a wonderful spot right at the front window facing Grace Street, ideal for people watching and a nice setting overall. Our server, Jennifer was quick to approach and offer drinks and menu suggestions. I had the scallops accompanied by a very tasty potato rosti, fennel/apple salad and fried pork belly bits. It was absolutely delicious - one of the best meals I've had in a while. I was drinking iced tea, which came with a little mint kick to it - I no longer drink alcohol with meals, but they appear to have quite a few creative cocktails as well. While this is likely a higher end restaurant for the area, I found the price averaging about $70 per person all in, including drinks, tip and tax to be quite a reasonable value overall. With wonderful service, incredible food, reasonable prices, and a beautiful dining room, this is certainly a place that I'd revisit again when traveling through or to Richmond.

    We were spending the night at the Hilton Hotel across the street on our drive from Florida to New…read moreJersey. We picked this place for dinner based on its proximity to the hotel and we are so glad we did because it was fantastic! One of the best meals we have had in a while. The ambiance was also very nice with soft music and candles. The menu offers a handful of appetizers and a handful of entrees. They all sounded good but I decided to go with the petite filet mignon. It also came with smoked cheddar scallop potatoes, honey glazed baby carrots, and a port wine demi. All of it was delicious. My husband had the sumac dusted scallops with potato rosti, smoked pork belly, and an apple fennel salad. It looked and tasted great. We also received a complimentary corn muffin that tasted great. Service was fairly quick and professional.
