If you visit downtown Richmond pop in for a specialty cocktail or a delicious meal ( Brunch & Mimosa options here as well) They hosted an event for the EastEnd Champions for players, coaches, parents and family. Live DJ and buffet. It looks small from the outside but has two sides with bars on each and a outside patio if you prefer to dine in fresh air. This is not a place I would bring the kids more of an "adult" atmosphere. So leave the kiddies at home and come and have a good time! Good Vibes, Great Good, Specialty Cocktails, Friendly Staff... just be patient with staff this establishment is a popular spot with high volume but the wait is worth it! read more

Compliments to the chef, seafood egg rolls are the best thing I've had all year. Real crab meat the quality and taste were amazing. I stopped in for a quick bite but stayed a while enjoying music and a drink. read more

Daily Menu Restaurant - Best seafood egg roll in town - Southern Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Ordered through door dash . My fries were left out of the bag which is not the door dashers fault. The egg rolls were horrible ( cheesesteak roll and the jerk roll). Overcooked (one of them was fried until it was almost black) and the flavor on both was bland. Restaurants have really lost their minds and are putting out any old thing. Annnnd of course you can't get them to pick of the phone. So yelp is the only recourse. $30 later. read more

I love that they are open late night. It is a good spot to go to after a late night event when you don't want to settle for breakfast at Denny's or waffle house. Food is made to order. So, prepare yourself for a little wait time. The good thing is everything came out hot. Catfish nuggets are overpriced for such a small portion, but it was seasoned well. Mac and Cheese was good and reasonably priced. A few items were made wrong, but they don't accept returned food. So, you keep the food or toss it and they remake what you want. Service was okay. Extra star for seeing the owner roll up his sleeves and help his staff in anyway. I wish they would keep the door closed that separates the smoking side from the non-smoking side. I would return to support this black business for late night food. Street parking available... not much decor inside but looks okay read more

Visited here with my friend this past Saturday during brunch. We originally had a reservation for LuLus right around the corner, but only had a drink then decided to come here. Lawwdddd we should've stayed right where we was at!!! Upon entering we were asked if we had reservations, said no then the one of waitresses explained that seating was "unavailable" because they had TWO parties of 40 coming in. First of all, this lil coat closet of a space isn't big enough 1 party of 20ppl let alone 2 parties of 40. But whatever. They wasn't anyone at the bar so we just sat there. We ordered mimosas, they were great. All champagne and splash of juice. S/O to the bartender/waitress that made them (didn't catch her name but she a real one; brownskin girl w/bow braids). Underrated this was the best thing served, everything else was downhill from there ‍ My friend ordered a side of the breakfast potatoes just to have something to soak up the alcohol we had been consuming. Before ordering, we were told by the bartender that they were "really good", seasoned well blah blah blah. The potatoes came out cold, and tasted like absolute nothingggg. Not a single bit of seasoning was used. My friend continued to nibble on them, again to soak up the drinks we'd had and because we were waiting for what felt like an eternity before our entrees came out. I decided to try the Catfish&Grits and my friend ordered the strawberry chicken&waffles. The catfish wasn't bad, it was seasoned. But I personally wasn't a fan of the gravy on grits situation. Again, flavor wasn't bad, but not my speed. My friends waffle was a messssssss!! The chicken breast that came with it was well-seasoned, but though in my opinion. The waffle though, I'm still no understanding. It tasted like air, very powdery yet mushy in the middle. It was served with school cafeteria packaged syrup. I could've gotten past the kiddie syrup and the canned strawberries, but the quality of the waffle itself was too far gone. We were there for so long that it had rolled over into their lunch/dinner menu. Disappointed with brunch we (still starving atp) decided to order their wings. My friend had been before (at night/evening) and had said their wings were good in the past. We both got Honey Old Bay flavor. The wings themselves were great sized. Unfortunately, that was all that was good about them. Not unlike the bland breakfast potatoes, they didn't really have any flavor. The honey obay flavor was mild, but could definitely tell the wings themselves weren't preseasoned. Just tasted like they were *lightly* tossed in the honey obay flavor. Overall, I would NEVERRRR return here for their brunch, unless I was coming for drinks only. PS: Later learned that there are different cooks during the evening hours, and the food tends to be better then. So possibly for better results ‍ read more

When with some friends on a Sunday and was able to get a table right away. There was only one server, and she was working hard, so it took a while before she could come wait on us. The music was good and they had Martin playing on the tv, so we were entertained while we waited. The menu prices were pretty average for a brunch spot but the food was really good. I had the shrimp and grits which left me wanting more. We also ordered a bottle of champagne for mimosas and a hookah after we ate which was reasonably priced. This place was pretty good, I'll be returning. read more

Daily Menu Restaurant - Southern Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I am honestly blown away by the lack of reviews here. The Daily Menu offers a fun atmosphere and incredible menu. Visiting a friend, he had been itching to try this spot. It was well worth it. I ordered the salmon and spinach grilled cheese. I truly believe this was the best sandwich I've ever had. The bread was buttery and grilled to perfection. The salmon and spinach inside was nothing but gooey goodness. It was comfort food to the max and I loved every bite of it. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip as part of the happy hour deal. It was also delicious and the chips as pita crisps were a nice touch. For drinks, we also ordered from the happy hour menu. The Daily Paradise was the perfect blend of sweetness and rum/vodka. I would get it again. Daily Menu is a must stop if you are spending some time in Richmond. The food is great. The atmosphere is fun. It is a true gem. read more

I love this place!! I always go for the vibes. If you're looking for a laid back spot that plays great music, and has good food & drinks, this is it! I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive options available for vegans/vegetarians. I have tried every plant based option on the menu from the vegan burger, plant based brunch wrap, beyond meat tacos, mushroom tacos, and my ultimate favorite, the fried oyster mushroom "chicken" sandwich. That alone is worth a visit. Seriously, it gets a 10/10! Service is great, but it can get a little busy during peek times like weekends, so I tend to visit during weekdays/happy hour and definitely on Sundays for brunch. Vegan girlies, this is a safe place . read more

Such a lovely, low-key local restaurant. Came here today (April 17th) for Saturday brunch. Super casual, southern-welcome vibe. Although the restaurant is small, they do have two sides. They do not take reservations, so what we called ahead of time to check the wait time. Arriving around 12:30, they were not busy at all. We were seated right away for brunch. (There is a 90 min dining time I guess for when they are busy) I am not in Richmond often so I do not know what a typical brunch is like, but I will say my group of 5 ladies were satisfied. We ordered hookah, build your own mimosas, and their various brunch entrees. We truly enjoyed everything for about $50 per person. read more

I was so hype to visit this establishment, to be disappointed when I was told the turkey wings had sold out, so I had to settle for the wings and an egg roll. The service was great Tasha was amazing, attentive and courteous...the food on the other hand was ok and over priced...the wings were cooked to perfection, sauce was good, but not seasoned at all, my steak & cheese egg roll was good, my daughter's cheeseburger was nothing special to write home about $10 no side, no sweet tea...my nephew's mac & cheese taste like straight noodles w/ cheese melted throughout...overall again the service was good, place was neat, the bouncer was polite to us, Im over it, it was kool, I'll stick to wat I know in regards to the turkeys wings... read more

I had the chicken and waffles and coffee for Saturday brunch. It was good food, nice big waffle and 5 pieces of chicken. The chicken was actually really good. Having said that...not sure where you get off charging $20 for chicken and waffles. Those were not $20 chicken and waffles. In all reality I should not have paid that, and I feel slightly humiliated that I did pay that. We had walked all over in the cold and you were one of the only places and the girl I was with was cold and hungry. That's really the only reason. Your entire menu was overpriced. The service was great, good atmosphere, but I'm probably not ever going to come back if those are the prices you charge. read more

Music was great. Food and service too. I tried the vegan wrap. No pics, sorry. But my lips are still tingling. Really tasty! We'd come back on our next RIC trip for sure. read more

Visited this place on a Wednesday night. It was pretty quiet and not busy. We ordered our food and a couple drinks from the happy hour menu. The drinks were really good. Not strong but good. Pro-tip try pineapple mule with mango (AMAZING). The food came out fairly quickly. The chips for the spinach dip was very crisp and so so good. I almost wanted to just order the chips. The entrees came out not too far after. I ordered the honey hot wings. They were fried hard and not too spicy. The sauce was perfect. The fries were good as well. My friends ordered the chicken sandwiches and shared good feedback. My only complaint was my drink took a bit longer to come out because they didn't have the normal bartender on staff. It was fine tho bc we weren't in a rush. There was street parking. They also sell hookah if you're interested in that. read more

When they were a food truck on Chamberlayne they were great. Since they opened the brick and mortar location the food just hasn't been as good. I used to love the crab fries but they've changed the recipe and it's just not it. The service is fair but overall it's just ok. read more

I love coming here! The food is good, the music is always a vibe, and the service is great. L.A. was my bartender tonight and she was the best! She was very attentive and had a great sense of humor. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Second time around the turkey wings and rice were amazing. I went off peak hours just to get the best service and unrushed food quality. The place is dark, but cute. read more

The food was not good. The burger, I ordered it with pink and it was hard and cooked well done and very dry. The portions of fries and egg rolls are small for the price. The flavor of the crab fries was off. It was a little too fishy. The salmon nuggets were good and the makers mark sauce was the best thing we had. read more

The food is okay and some of the prices are out there but as a neighbor this place can be annoying. I appreciate the water bowls they leave outside for dogs but they need to be changed OFTEN. I don't let my dogs drink the water because it sits there for a long time and given the crazies we have down here I don't want to chance them getting sick because someone poured their drink or worse in them. Secondly they are always blasting music outside even when no one is seated outside. People live here and having the neighborhood turn into a rave at 3pm on a Thursday is not the vibe. I appreciate the food and service but being more mindful of your neighbors would be appreciated. read more

Came here for brunch with some of my girls and really enjoyed the food. It is definitely small and intimate inside but the food is very good! The breakfast croissant and chicken wings were very tasty. We decided to do the Build Your Own Mimosa and that was enough for our table (party of 5). The hostess and our waitress were super hospitable and accommodating. We also had the hookah which was nice and smooth. They also offer a variety of flavors! I recommend Berry and mint mixed. I would come back for the food! The only "Con" is the amount of space in the establishment but other than that it was a really nice and enjoyable experience. Everyone enjoyed their food! Some of the other dishes that our party had were : -catfish shrimp and grits -top of the morning platter -jerk chicken and waffles -chicken and waffles with a strawberries and creme waffle read more

I would like to start by saying that I have only ordered from this place once before this experience. The first time was wonderful. The food was delicious and even though it was to go, the server was wonderful. This is the reason why I had hyped them up to my coworkers. So, my lunch is very early in the day and this location stated that they opened at 11 am. So it was perfect for what I needed and wanted for lunch. It started off a little off because I ordered directly from the link on their website and it said that I would get $5 off for my birthday this month, however, it didn't. I didn't make a big deal of it because I felt as though this was an easy fix. Little did I know that this was going to be the least of my problems. So, I placed an order Friday morning, via their website, and it gave me the option for it to be picked up at 11:00 am. I thought this was great, I figured they must be in their early getting everything ready so that when they open they could hit the ground running. I had paid over $51 and I left my job to pick up what I thought was going to be my coworker and my lunch. Before arriving, I tried to call them, but no answer. I did this a couple of times before getting there. Much to my surprise when I arrived the doors were locked and not a soul was in the building. I called them at least 9 times after that, left two messages, and emailed them and heard nothing. Then a little before 12:35 pm finally got someone on the phone. He stated that my food had "been there waiting for me to pick it up". I informed him that I got a text at 12:06 saying that my order was almost ready, which was an hour after it was due. I asked him if he was a manager and he said no and that no one was there yet in management. He stated that he was going to try to contact the manager. However, instead of a manager, I was met by a young woman who was rude and called herself trying to help me out despite their business not operating properly. She said that the cooks came in at 11:15 am, claimed that I couldn't have placed my order through their website, and told me that I was being unreasonable for asking for my money in cash despite their business fact that this situation happened because of them, not me. This was absolutely horrible!!! If I could give a negative number for this review I would. This interaction had not one ounce of positive customer service experience to be found. She told me that the manager would give me a call but didn't. Typical! Then the reply from the owner came. (I've posted it below along with my reply.) OWNER (copied straight from Google) Thanks for the review and your time you placed a order at 9am we opened at 11am and you wanted your food ready at 11am I'm sorry we got there 10 min late do to a situation but you been here 5 times and and now write this (typical) 1 star review baffles me and you demanded a refund in cash and wanted it brought to your job. Like we offered you your food for free you was smart then we gave you a refund after your email I understand we are not perfect but all this for a order you placed for turkey wings collards mac n cheese fish rice and whatever else for breakfast is not called for but we will do better you got your refund and we thankyou for being a loyal customer. REPLY: First of all I haven't been there 5 times this was my second visit. Second, if you had people who had any decent type of customer service experience or even if you would have emailed me or called me back, because I did leave my phone number, I wouldn't have put you on blast. I understand mistakes happen, but what baffles me is that you are making it seem as though it is my fault. WOW! Yes, I did ask for my money back in cash, because it was taken out immediately so I wanted back in immediately. However, this was way after your staff member was completely rude to me and accusing me of lying about when the order was placed. At the end of the day, this situation was handled horribly and has continued to be handled horribly. Your ordering system should be updated so that no one can place an order that early if it can't be ready at that time. Unfortunately, you have lost what could have been a "loyal" customer because I love to see people succeed and do great and the first and only time I have been there was a great experience. However, I'm not going to be treated as though it was my fault to order what I wanted at a time it said it would be ready. Please do better and stop gaslighting. Thank you read more

Came here for brunch with friends and while the food was great (I had the catfish, shrimp, and grits), the service was severely lacking. Our waitperson was inattentive and slightly rude the whole time we were there. Everyone has bad days right? It happens! We were ready to chock it up to a bad day until we saw them interacting with a friend at the bar. Suddenly they had all the energy in the world for the friend, but none for our table of 6+? It was so so weird and after a while not only did we feel uncomfortable, but we all were ready to leave. It's disappointing because we did get to meet (who we assumed was) the cook and she was very nice! But the rest of the experience soured my first (and definitely last) time going there.  I'm sure I'll come across a great brunch spot somewhere else! read more

Saturday visit- Nice little 2 sided spot (smoking side with DJ & and non smoking side) which is where the bar and cook is. Security was outside to check ids and purses. Inside was pretty laid back and the bartender lady was very nice and interacted with us. It was so laid back if we wasn't sitting right in the front they would have forgotten about us. Ordered some wings and fries and an seafood eggroll. Both of which was pretty good. We had some Henny Shots - Way too expensive (like $15 a shot). Overall rating 6/10 read more

A group of 6 of us came here for brunch for a friend's bday. We heard such great things and of course love to support black businesses. There was a mix up or miscommunication about a reservation but no biggie because we were able to be seated right away. The energy from our server was very off. You ever feel unwelcomed but unsure why? The cook came out to greet us and let us know to tag them in any pics. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. I will say if I ever feel uncomfortable or the service is off no matter how good the food is I'm not coming back. The lack of attention & enthusiasm ruined our last day in Richmond. We all left with a bad taste in our mouth--not due to the food. It's quite unfortunate. read more

The food was good, don't get me wrong. However, the experience was terrible. Waitress never asked for our drinks and was off-putting. Straws were only given by request. There were fruit flies constantly hovering us while trying to enjoy my meal. The "strawberry and cream" waffles were plain waffles with strawberry jam and whipped cream on top. I would suggest ordering take out if you would like to try it for yourself. It was empty on a Sunday morning and looks like it has plenty of space for a large group. read more

I've been here a few times and each time it was delicious. My first time was when they had a food truck on Chamberlayne and it's nice too see they have grown to now be in a brick and mortar location! Brunch is definitely official! Not really a fan of the huge pieces of bell pepper in the sauce that tops the shrimp and grits but otherwise it was quite tasty!! Beef bologna burger is yummmm! Crab & shrimp loaded fries yummm! Cheese steak loaded fries yummm! Polish sausage yummmm! Haven't had anything bad yet. Drool nation indeed! read more

This my first time being "out" since covid and this is my new Friday night spot. I would suggest getting there a little early for dining without a wait. Their happy hour lasts until 8 pm which is great and includes food as well as drinks. The jerk chicken egg roll was to die for! I also had nachos chicken fajita nachos that were too. There was a DJ that was playing music as well. I don't remember our bartenders name but she delivered great service. I had a great time and will be back soon. read more

Security is terrible and very threatening and aggressive. I tried to go there for food and drinks but The bouncer gave my friend a very difficult time for no reason. The owner let my friend in after the bouncer denied him multiple times. Once inside the bouncer threatened my friend and then proceeded to push him out of the club. When my friend was outside of the club he was assaulted by the bouncer for supposedly filming on his iPhone inside of the business. Violence has no place in this community I do not support this business. read more

We had 8 wings, fries, 2 egg rolls, and 3 drinks. And the total was $128 the food was no where near that good to pay that much. The food came out pretty quick, as we were the only ones in the establishment, however the states taxes, the automatic gratuity was included and we weren't tracking on how much it would cost. We would not come back nor recommend. read more

So my family & I tried the "Daily Menu" restaurant during "Richmond Black Restaurant Experience" week. The food was good & served hot. However, they have a smoke lounge & the door to the lounge was constantly left open after we repeatedly asked them to close it. I don't smoke & would have appreciated not having to experience second hand smoking while eating. For that this review gets one star. They need a better system for their non smoking patrons. read more

Love this place for weekend brunch as well as a mid week lunch spot. Definitely get the BYOM (build your own mimosas) comes with a bottle of champagne, 2 shot of Grand Marnier and 2 shots of your liquor of choice, paired with juices and purees! The food is phenomenal. My personal brunch favorites are : catfish/shrimp and grits, seafood omlete, seafood cakes breakfast platter. For lunch: fried chicken sandwich, fried fish sandwich or the crab/shrimp loaded fries. Servers are good and makes you feel right at home! read more

The staff was amazing and so was the chicken sandwich. The place also has a lot of space and multiple seating areas.

I didn't even get to eat.. my waitress had snot hanging from his nose and just wiped it with his hand, it was so disgusting!

The service here is really bad. We ordered hookah and the girl that was attentive to us never came to change the coal. I exactly blew the coal cause the server never came to do her job. We were never even offered water, we had to ask. The server was busy smoking hookah herself. The food has not seasoning on it. My sister ordered shrimp and catfish poboy and the fish was very soft, too soft. I have never been to an establishment where the server was more concern with socializing with the Dj and the paying customers. read more

First visit and will be the last. My review is not about this establishments food. I thought the food was just ok and a bit over priced. This review has everything to do with the terrible treatment I received from a half-ass 20 something amateur bouncer at the entrance of this place. I arrived to pick up an order placed by a relative whom I was visiting. This person immediately begin to question my effort to pay for my order and pick it up. I was asked to produce an ID. I'd never been harassed trying to patronize an establishment. Businesses are usually courteous when being paid for their services/goods. This was completely absent from this restaurant. I would like to give the benefit of the doubt here but the interaction was so poor I cannot imagine I'm the only person that has had this experience. This young man was too arrogant and aggressive in his tone not to have acted this when in the past. Awful! read more
