The fried chicken was possibly the best I've ever had. Everything was cooked with care and seasoned to perfection. Our server was great as well, he never let our drinks get empty and was a nice guy. Looks like they also just opened a grocery store on the same block with some nice food items. Will def be back!

We visited here for lunch on a Wednesday during a trip to Va, it was highly recommended. It was a…read morecasual ambiance, love the art on the wall, it felt comfortable. We ordered 4 piece fish boat with cheese grits and cabbage and the fish and shrimp platter with cabbage and yams; both came with cornbread. Everything was delicious, excited for my leftovers the next day delicious. The homemade tartar sauce was a must to take a side home with our leftovers. The portions were ample. The cornbread was the only thing that didn't wow me, wasn't bad but I have had better. Our server was attentive, courtesy, and timely; she was a pleasure. I look forward to visiting here the next time I am in that part of VA.

I visited based on a coworker recommendation. I was told that Croaker's Sport has great seafood and…read morecornbread. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but I rate this more of a 3.5 rounded to 4. Ambiance: The spot is historic and well kept. It was clean and we were able to find street parking. Service: The service was friendly, patient, and informal. We came on a Wednesday around noon, so it wasn't too crowded. Our waitress was attentive. Food: The food was good overall, with some standout items and some leaving more to be desired. We started with the clam chowder soup. We found it to be a bit tangy, but it got the job done. We also go the fish dinner with buffalo sauce (on the side). The fish was really good. However, the mac and cheese was grainy. The flavor of the mac and cheese was good, but the flavor is subjective. I also got the oyster po boy sandwich. I was serviceable. It didn't knock my socks off, but I have no complaints. I did enjoy the sauce that came with it. The french fries were fluffy, in a good way. The cornbread was textbook and solid. I didn't wow us, but it was a sizeable portion. Conclusion: Overall, my curiosity has been satisfied, but I didn't get the wow factor. I would consider coming here if I had a strong craving for a fish dinner.

We called in a very large order and the lady on the phone was extremely patient and didn't mind helping us make choices.

I really am the HUGEST advocate and supporter for our black owned businesses and restaurants; but I…read morethink that I'd be doing my community a disservice if I wrongly rate my food experience based solely on just that....I ordered two plates: baked turkey wings with baked Mac and cabbage and meatloaf with gravy and mashed potatoes and green beans. The turkey wings were flavorless. They tasted like they were baked with water and its juices that accumulated in the pan from cooking. The Mac and cheese did not own up to its namesake and the cabbage was salty but tender. So I'll give an A+ for texture. Next up is the meatloaf plate: where do I even begin? Let's start with the meat:absolutely dry. I am not certain as to why it was not cooked WITH the gravy, BUT it wasn't. Now the GRAVY: OMG! THICK and straight out of the McCormick, Pioneer or Great value, Kroger or whoever else makes powdered brown gravy mix. Literally mixed per instructions and boiled til thick and nothing else was done to it. No seasoning. No nothing. Listen, I use that pack gravy; but you gotta know what to do with that when you're using it. Mmkay?? Mashed potatoes were homemade which I love; but the dollop of the same meatloaf gravy was ladled on top; so I was unable to even enjoy that one thing on my plate that actually made sense.....the green beans: SALTY! And the cornbread that people had previously raved about that 'was moist and cake like' was dense and had not a drop of sweetness in it. The star of the show was the roll that came with my turkey wing plate. I just warmed that in the oven and threw a bit of honey butter on it because I literally could not consume that food. Our people really gotta do better when it comes to advertising 'soul food', because that comes with expectations that you will deliver a meal that is going to be of comfort and nostalgia. I was EXTREMELY displeased.

We ordered on Door Dash…read more Overall, our food was pretty good. The batter for the Stuffed Catfish and 3 Piece Whiting was a bit salty but still flavorful. The Mac and cheese was dry but still tasty, yams and collards were on point. The Blueberry Lemon Glazed Cornbread was missing the glaze and had a bread pudding consistency, the Cabbage was a miss. Not sure if we'll order from this restaurant again when we're back in the area.

This tasted like Sunday dinner at grandma's house, no exaggeration. The turkey wings were falling off the bone, deeply seasoned, and cooked with real care. The mac and cheese was rich and comforting, and the cabbage had that slow-cooked flavor that lets you know it wasn't rushed. This isn't just good -- it's soulful. Richmond, don't sleep on this spot.

Please note that it is still very limited seating and mainly a carry out.

They made a point to check on us throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and personal. Now, for the food: everything was amazing! It was clear the food was cooked perfectly--the seafood was all perfectly fried and golden. For my meal, I had flounder and scallops with sides of garlic fries and potato salad. My husband had the catfish and shrimp combo with garlic fries and coleslaw. Everything was amazing, but def try the garlic fries for one of your sides, fire!
