    1/2 Grandma Waffle
    Shonicia L.

    The waffle I had was perfect. The service was great. This was a small but comfortable place to enjoy breakfast with the hubby.

    Well happened to be in the area after doing some medical stuff and was starving. Well after a little Yelp Reviewing found this little gem. First it's off to the side in this strip mall area. To the left of Golds Gym and next to a Miracle Ear place. So it took a second to find it via Waze. But don't be discouraged. It's a cute little joint. You go to the counter and get menus and then choose your own seats. Once you know what you want, go to the counter to order. However, food was brought to our table. Well as for the meal. There were several items I kinda wanted but both the wifey and I decided on the 1/2 Country Waffle. This had a 1/2 waffle covered with a couple scrambled eggs and sausage gravy. It was very good. Both the wifey and I really liked it. The waffle had a wonderful flavor as so did the sausage gravy. The combination really worked together. We also had two sweet teas. Considering the total came to about $26, before tip, I think the portions were just about right. As for the service: I think the two young ladies working did very well. Treated us wonderfully and the meals came to the table quickly. So give this joint a try - I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm sure we will be back next time in the area.

    Unique find! Great food, fast service and a fun little place. I would recommend you give it a try.

    Chicken Philly waffle

    Met a girlfriend here for Saturday brunch about 2 weeks ago. The gps had a tough time pinpointing the location for us both but we found it nestled in the small strip to the left of Gold gym. We walked in grabbed some menus off the counter and were told to pick a spot to sit. So we did but when none of the young ladies behind the counter came over to take our order, we discovered you're to order at the counter. I got the chicken Philly waffle. My friend ordered the spicy chicken waffle. They arrived pretty quickly. My girlfriend enjoyed hers, said it was definitely on the spicy side bc of the sriracha and jalapeños. I enjoyed mine as well but did feel that the queso was very bland and I would have the dried onion topping removed if ordered again. Overall it was a nice chill spot to chat with a friend for a couple of hours. Would definitely want to try one of the sweeter options in the future.

    Chicken waffle and Chorizo Egg & Cheese Breakfast Taco
    Swapna M.

    5 starts for food. 5 stars for value. 1 star for service. We got there around 12:15 pm and the tables were all taken. We were added to a waitlist, but then had to ask if we could sit at a table that opened up (we were the only ones on the waitlist). We sat for a bit before realizing we needed to order at the counter. We weren't told that when we chatted with the counter. I went in to order and stood by for 10 minutes while I was ignored by the staff who made mimosas and stood around. The tall white dude who seemed to be owner/manager effusively welcomed a group that walked in and asked if they'd been there before and ignored me the whole time. I finally was able to place an order. The food was pretty good and 3 breakfast tacos, a full chicken waffle and two coffees ran us $25 which felt like good value. Still unsure of whether we will return because of the service, or if we need to try a different location

    Really solid option for breakfast/lunch. It has a bit of a coffee shop/diner vibe. The staff were all very friendly and helpful; one guy was obviously new and still in training, but the lady training him was on top of things. I ordered the Country Breakfast Waffle, my wife ordered two of the $2 breakfast tacos and a pineapple mimosa. The portions were huge, especially for the prices. The taste was good, but not hugely flavorful. Best bang for your buck is definitely those tacos! Bottom line? The prices are great, the service was fast and friendly, and while it didn't "wow" me, the food was pretty good. I don't know that I would go out of my way to visit again, but if I was in the area, I would definitely consider it!

    Arboretum egg bowl
    Genevese R.

    Really enjoyed this place! Great prices and the food was delicious. Staff were very friendly. I loved the casual laid back vibe. You order at the register but they bring the food out to you. We fell in love with the scrambled egg bowls. There's an option to build your own. I chose the arboretum bowl and added chorizo. So yummy! We tried a plain waffle and the batter was really good. It wasn't too sweet or cakey. Overall, we loved it and will be coming back.

    Iced Americano with cream
    Cammy K.

    I ordered the 1/2 Egg, Queso and Chorizo Waffle. I loved all the flavors and I'm a sucker for chorizo on any menu. I just wish that the waffle was a bit crispier before adding on the toppings since the waffle was soggy near the end. I also ordered an iced americano which was fantastic with and without added creamer. The food came quick and there was a fun vibe in the diner.

Coffee/tea options? Two thumbs up. Food? Outstanding. Seriously, I loved it from start to finish. I showed up on a Tuesday morning with my laptop and an empty stomach. There's lots of seating inside (with great natural light throughout, it's just such a warm, cozy space), and a few tables outside as well. I ordered the Keshir team (ginger, orange juice, and honey), which totally hit the spot. I could not resist the breakfast combo, which comes with egg silsi (scrambled eggs in tomato sauce with onion), kinche (bulgur cooked and tossed with yellow onion and clarified butter and topped with jalapenos), firfir (injera sauteed in a spicy tomato sauce), and injera. I SCRAPED the plate. Everything was delicious. Just thinking about it now, I wish there was a Buna Kurs in Baltimore, so I could eat this for breakfast once a week. One of the best breakfasts I've had this year. No joke. I love Ethiopian food, and I am so jealous that Richmond has an Ethiopian cafe. Ethiopian for breakfast?! A dream. It doesn't hurt that the service and ambiance are also great. Easy street parking to boot. A great place to work. The only thing that I'd recommend to them is that a few more outlets to charge laptops or phones would be nice - so that people can work from the cafe more easily! But otherwise, Buna Kurs is pretty much perfect in my view. Dream breakfast. Great cafe. Couldn't love it more.

Upon entering, I was reminded of a 1950s pharmacy by the humongous "Prescriptions" sign hanging above the bar, and the antique furniture, bar, and barstools splayed throughout Tarrant's. There was a solid crowd at the bar; it's clear there is a regular crowd that sits and hangs out here. We were promptly seated by a young blonde woman in the dining section (behind the bar). Our server, Nadia, was an enchanting brunette, training another young server, Sierra. She took our drink orders and gave us plenty of time to review the menu, checking in after a few minutes to see if we were ready. We finally decided, my partner ordered the 10" Bianca White (pizza), and I chose the Sailor Sandwich. Unfortunately, the sailor was not in the cards for me, and Nadia suggested the Reuben as they were similar. They brought out breadsticks while we waited, and the food arrived within 10-15 minutes. I was pleased with the atmosphere, the old-fashioned chandeliers, the large mirror, the floral paintings, and the rustic frames, all of which added to the restaurant's stated aesthetic. The pizza was hot and savory, while the Reuben had buttery toast, crispy corned beef, and a light smattering of sauerkraut (TBH, I didn't even notice the sauerkraut). For dessert, we indulged in the upside-down walnut apple pie, served with vanilla ice cream, all made from scratch, and beautifully delicate. Our time at Tarrant's Cafe seemed like a stroll into the past; the only indication of modernity was the ordering kiosk used by the staff. We truly enjoyed our time and had deeply meaningful conversations without enduring the hustle and bustle or the rowdy cacophony of an intense crowd.

The cucumber sandwiches were on brown bread??? The chicken salad sandwiches were bland and boring and were served on regular thick white bread. The desserts also lacked sparkle. The best were the tiny chocolate mousse tart, and the tiny rectangular fruit tart. The macrons were delicious and probably the best thing about the tea. However, the rectangular fruit tart did not have an expected glaze of apricot jam as is traditional. There were two cakes. One was chocolate, which was very fudgy and moist however, it really could have used a pinch of salt to bring its profile up to delicious. The other cake was a slice of either apple or banana??? Flavor so faint I couldn't tell. Neither of those desserts had frosting so can they really be called cake? There was a sugar cookie but I gave it to My friend so I can't speak to how it was. There was this little chocolate thing that was difficult to ascertain what it was supposed to be. I think it was supposed to represent hot chocolate with peppermint and marshmallows, but despite the peppermint and the tiny marshmallows, it was lackluster. The entire experience could have improved with printed menus with descriptions of what we had. There were two teas offered, the Jefferson and the Richmond blend. I had the Richmond blend. It was so splendid that I ordered some from their supplier. Overall, I was terribly disappointed. The beautiful venue had a slight effect on improving the overall experience.
