A friend and I stopped by one morning for a quick lunch, and the cafe was packed! There was a 20…read moreminute for a table, so we opted to eat at the bar in the back. 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.

One of the best spots in downtown Richmond (Scott's addition area) for a small group to enjoy a great meal in a cozy setting! I finished off the salmon cake sandwich with french fries; as it was very delicious and filling. The hostess and wait staff were helpful and friendly during the whole experience.

Was passing through Richmond, and a lot of my friends recommended LUNCH.SUPPER! for brunch. My…read morepartner and I were seated promptly. Only street parking is available, but it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. The atmosphere: Very rustic vibe with some farmhouse-style decor. They have table, high-top, bar, and patio seating available. The food: I opted for the Chicken and Waffles with a side of cheese grits. I chose to make it hot for more spice. It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

Stopped by 821 Cafe with my family for brunch and had a great experience overall. The service…read morereally stood out, our waitress was friendly, attentive, and very helpful when it came to answering questions and helping us decide what to order. We all ordered hot chocolate, which was surprisingly good. I went with the french toast, eggs, and turkey sausage, everything was flavorful and well prepared. I also had a chance to try a few other dishes at the table, and everything I tasted was good. One thing I really appreciated is the variety on the menu. They offer a good amount of options, including vegan choices. My dad is vegan, so it's always a plus finding a brunch spot where we can go when he comes to visit. The restaurant itself is clean, colorful, and has a fun, welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a casual brunch with family or friends. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area, just a heads up, parking is not meter-based. You'll need to pay online, so plan accordingly.

Sitting at the bar, we were served immediately and were able to order food. If you are lucky enough, you will get to meet local legend, musicIan Jimmy Catlett, where you can even enjoy a drink from the menu "What Jimmy Drinks". Luke was a very attentive bartender, server and greeter. With good insight into what is what on the menu and behind the bar. We even got to meet Sara Beth herself (sorry Sarah if I used the wrong one) the SB behind the name! If you don't lead with "Glitter on the Mattress" you are missing out! The atmosphere was welcoming, inviting and full of nostalgic decor.

The bartender Luke was on his game and got me water and coffee quickly there after. The place was busy but everything seemed to work like a well oiled machine. The house coffee is solid and they did have a cold coffee option. The spicy bloody mary with the bacon was one of my favorites - definitely a more homemade vibe which was what I prefer. I also got their current jello shot (lemon and lavender) which was refreshing and big for $3. The menu had a bunch of items that caught my eye - breakfast burrito, pancake stacks, eggs benedict, etc. I went with the breakfast burrito with a side of sweet potato has. The burrito was great - filling but not super large, though I would have loved a tiny bit more jalapenos personally. Even without a meat, it was tasty and well balanced, especially with the side sriracha sour cream. I definitely need to come back to try the chicken salad or grilled cheese or some pancakes because everything looked fantastic. Service was quick, food was great, prices were solid. They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and friendly folks working. I'll definitely be back.

Inside 8.5/10: The inside has this chill and calming feeling but the booths feel a little bit small and tight but overtime I didn't mind. Food 10/10: And here we go. For the appetizer I ordered Pizza Cheese Fries and they were delicious and my Calzone was cooked amazingly well and cheesy. From my previous visits I ordered a Steak Burrito, Fried Chicken Club, Italian Sausage Sub and a Country Fried Steak with Eggs and 2 pancakes. Every single item was cooked to crispy and savory perfection. Overall, this is the perfect place for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or Dinner and I highly recommend. 9.5/10

Wish I had taken pictures of everyone's food but we were all pleased.

While we waited for our table, we walked around next door at Stella's Grocery, and the Perly's staff actually came in to announce when tables were ready, which was super convenient and thoughtful. Definitely worth the wait and a spot we'll be coming back to!

Upon arrival, it was quite busy but the location still had plenty of seating. When we were seated, we noticed it was only one waitress waiting tables too. She was able to get us our drinks and orders pretty quickly despite working solo. I was the adventurous one in our group and ordered the pb and j cheese burger. Upon initial bite, it really tasted like a really well constructed burger. It was a double patty burger with white cheese. You don't really taste the jam. As you're chewing, the peanut butter comes out and it really makes the bite more creamy and definitely tastes of peanut butter. Overall, I would recommend fat boys for sure. Everyone thought the food tasted great and the portions were big. Definitely worth the trip!

Never one to complain about a restaurant, but my favorite place has sadly become one of the worst…read moreexperiences I've had, and I won't be returning.

A staff member who was seated nearby asked how my sandwich was, and I informed him of the issue. The bartender kindly refunded my meal, which I truly appreciated, especially since I did not request it.

However, I feel it is important to bring this to your attention to help prevent similar situations for others. It was a very unpleasant and unsettling experience, and I would not want anyone else to encounter the same. I kindly ask that you please ensure employees follow proper food safety practices, such as keeping hair secured while preparing food. Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration.

The last two attempts we've had to just leave due to an egregious wait time or them just deciding to close for a private party without any notice. I don't understand what the owners issue with hiring more employees and filling out all tables instead of leaving the restaurant half full and making customers wait 30+ minutes is. Also, the wait time is ALWAYS a lie. If they tell you "Oh it'll be 10-15 minutes", you can count on 30 minutes. I don't really feel valued as someone who isn't a tourist and always tips well.
