Food: what you want to eat if you got off a shift at the hospital or the ambulance…read more Service: friendly and efficient. Ambiance: it's the nerdy, retro Vibe. What you don't know is that when you run a diner for 10 years, you might try to cut corners to "make ends meet". You might hire a guy to wash dishes and when he shows up for you every single weekend for 2 years, you might take him for granted. A guy that NEVER ONCE called out on a Saturday or Sunday, the Bread and Butter of the week. Anyway, Life ain't easy, is it? People change, or maybe things change for people. The lowest paid employee might have an off day. He might be upset that his usual Friday paycheck wasn't deposited and asked why. He got an answer that left him wondering: did he work 2 years for a couple who just never cared? A dishwasher got fired on a Saturday without Cause. He got fired for being angry about the lack of a timely paycheck. Ask the "owners"? "He was not acting right; he was being strange... I thought I had friends at Moore Street. Not one person has reached out to ask how I am. The average server makes 300 dollars on any given day. I made just over a 100. Disappointed is what I feel. Hope you are too.

The wait staff were nice and checked in with us throughout service. They were busy, and we did have to ask again for a couple things we asked for when we ordered. Seeing as they were busy, it was understandable. The parking can be difficult to find, but it's not too bad on most days. I ordered a swiss mushroom burger with onion rings on the side, a coke and a mexican mule. I liked the burger, especially the onion rings! I would probably ask for the mushrooms to be a little bit more caramelized though. Serving size was filling and the drink was perfectly strong. They have an extensive menu, and I would love to come back to try more dishes! The cafe decor is retro, and it makes the restaurant feel nostalgic. I think it's great for a group hang if you have a large group, too. There was a big group there when I was there and a few smaller groups of people.

Mine was eggs, sausage, pancakes and apples, which were all done like champs. The wife had biscuits and gravy which were a tribute to southern fare. Fluffy biscuits and gravy as good as my own.

A party of two ate well and was satisfied with the amount and quality of our meals. The first meal was steak and eggs. Without prompting I heard how well seasoned the flatiron steak was. The other meal was calf's liver with mushrooms and onions. Two large pieces of bacon was across the dish. It was very good served with a full orders of corn, potatoes and gravy, and veggies. I switched the mixed vegetables for spinach and garlic. Good choice. The spinach was fresh and sauteed with onions. Didn't care for the gravy on potatoes. Can't tell whether the off flavor was the gravy or the potatoes. My surprise was the appetizer. I chose turkey chilli that was so good. It was full body flavor with cooked beans and chopped veggies, which didn't take away from the chilli flavor. It was very good. I could have this for my main meal. So good. The server was adequate, but nothing exceptional.

The oldies music playing in the background just pulls it all together. What stood out most was the intention behind everything. The menu offers fresh, healthier options without sacrificing comfort, and you can tell the chef and owner genuinely take pride in what they're creating. There's something different when food is made with care--you don't just taste it, you feel it. That kind of energy is rare now. Since COVID, it's been harder to find places that still honor the experience of preparing food for others in a meaningful way. This place brought me right back to memories of going to Patsy's Diner in New Jersey with my grandmother--simple, warm, and full of heart. Top notch all around. We'll absolutely be back anytime we're passing through. Thank you for the good food, good energy, and genuine hospitality.

Hubby had short ribs, Brussels and cheese grits. Kiddo had chicken and waffles with gravy, and I had the Barbecue Sundae. All three were so tasty! Each dish, whether main course or side was executed so beautifully. The collards on the sundae were the best I've ever had. If I could cook them like that, I'd have them more often. Our server was attentive and so so nice. The decor is adorable and the atmosphere was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!!

My partner and I had dinner at Lunch. Supper! last Friday, and it absolutely lived up to the hype…read more The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and lively without feeling overwhelming. The menu has so many tempting options that it was hard to choose, but we both landed on the Hot Chicken Sandwich with cayenne butter--and we're glad we did. It had the perfect amount of heat: enough to bring some spice without overpowering the flavor. On the side, I ordered the green beans after our bartender/server highly recommended them. Normally, green beans wouldn't be my first choice, but they were seasoned perfectly and ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the meal. My partner chose the mac and cheese, which was the superior side (although both were excellent). The service was friendly, attentive, and genuine throughout the evening. Despite arriving on a Friday night without a reservation, we had no trouble getting a table. They only accept reservations for parties of 5-8, so I'm glad we decided to take our chances. One of my favorite parts of the evening was chatting with another guest at the bar. He and his wife shared several entrées with their young son, and they couldn't stop raving about the short ribs--which their son happily claimed for himself by the end of the meal! They also highly recommended the salmon, so we've already got ideas for our next visit. The only real downside has nothing to do with the restaurant itself: parking in Scott's Addition can be a challenge. I'd recommend allowing yourself some extra time to find a spot or, even better, taking a rideshare so you can start enjoying your evening right away. Lunch. Supper! has earned its reputation as a longtime Richmond favorite. Great food, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere make this an easy five-star recommendation. We'll definitely be back.

I guess I can say that I am one of Ashley's regulars. I am impressed with how she keeps the place running smoothly, and with a smile. She is constantly moving around, either attending to customers or cleaning the windows or doing anything that needs to be done. She knows my name, remembers what I like to order, and regularly checks to see if my coffee cup is filled. When I leave I always get a goodbye from not just Ashley but Justin and basically the entire staff as well. This is like a family atmosphere, and exactly why I travel from Chesterfield to come to Shorty's! Kudos! Rob J.

The first time I got the corned beef hash breakfast.

I would definitely suggest they try better packaging so the food doesn't melt through the styrofoam. What I could salvage was still a great addition to my breakfast and of course didn't disappoint.

Though there were plenty of generations in the restaurant. Huge portions and a clean dining room with attached parking are perfect! We will return.

Eggs, biscuits, cooked meat from various animals -- all the classics. The menu is fun, ranging from pigs in a blanket to a very typical omelet.

The walls are packed with quirky art, and the crowd ranges from longtime regulars who look like they've had the same barstool since 1995 to first-timers who can't believe they've been sleeping on this place. It's cozy without being cramped -- loud enough to feel alive but you can still have a real conversation. The food is the real story. The menu is creative American comfort -- the kind of cooking that sounds simple until it arrives and you realize someone in that kitchen actually cares. Brunch is especially strong. The biscuits are not to be missed. Neither is whatever the daily special happens to be, because they clearly put thought into it.
