    Went to Hondos for lunch today. They have 12 lunch specials under $12. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety. The service was wonderful and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is very nice, it is a little more upscale than most restaurants. For today's visit I had the meatloaf. I am not a fan of most restaurants meatloaf. This meatloaf was very excellent and was not full of fillers. This lunch menu is full of great choices and I can't wait to go back and try something else.

    New Orleans BBQ Shrimp

    I recently tried this steakhouse for a business dinner... Made reservations to come in on a weeknight and when we got there, it was about half full inside. The décor and dining rooms are nicely setup, modern, and somewhat cozy, as they have multiple dining rooms. Table setting was nice, but they didn't do a very good job replacing my silver as I used it and moved on to the next course... other than this, service was great! Menu is pretty nice and it's loaded with many of the popular chophouse items. They even have a nice selection of salads with discounts if bought with an entrée. We started with their New Orleans style BBQ shrimp which had a decent flavor, but way too much butter in it. It should resemble more of a brighter red color with visible spices in it. But what we got was a thick, buttery, pink/orange sauce. Flavor was ok, shrimp was cooked nicely. It was good to dip bread into. Next up was their wedge salad - Typical, HUGE salad with a quarter of the iceberg lettuce head and all the other items... I love adding ranch dressing to the bluecheese that's already on it and in this case, it worked perfectly! The lettuce and ingredients were flavorful and very fresh. I enjoyed it, but could only eat half of it to ensure I saved room for my entrée. For my entrée I got steak frites for the first time ever! They did an amazing job with the hangar steak! Great flavor and perfect temperature! It was a good size portion as well. The fries that came with it were amazingly crispy and quite nice, I just wish they were slightly warmer. They seem to coat them with corn starch, as I saw some on several of the fries. I loved how crunchy they were! And they came with a nice ketchup... I wonder if it's homemade? Overall, we all enjoyed dinner and the service... They could easily be a 5-star

    I came during lunch and they had a lunch special menu where I ended up ordering the grilled salmon ($17). Food came out in about 15 minutes and it was quite good. The seasoning was excellent while also not being overly salty. It was quite moist, and the salmon split apart with ease with a fork. The vegetables were sautéed very well. The mashed potato was super smooth and buttery. A very balanced meal for lunch that filled me up without weighing me down afterwards. Staff and service were above average just took a bit of time to get the check and bill paid for. Overall I was surprised by the lunch special offerings as it was super affordable and delicious! Food(50%): 8.8 Staff/service(25%): 7.5 Value(25%): 9.0 Overall: 8.5/10

    Seafood Bisque - so flavorful with tons of crabmeat
    P.K. S.

    Couldn't have asked for a better dinner at Hondo's. Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance was 10 out of 10. We had a company holiday celebration, so our party was rather large, therefore we opted/were offered the pre-fixed "Celebration Menu"/course dinner. The Appetizer Platters One and Three were amazing - SO much food for our table that we were all pretty full by the time our first course came. The fried calamari and crab cakes were cooked to perfection. The ahi tuna and lemon pepper scallops were also uniquely fantastic. We each had plenty to take home from just these two platters. I opted for the seafood bisque soup (SO tasty with chunks of crab) and Caesar salad (nothing special). The chocolate torte dessert was basically a giant piece of fudge - creamy and delicious. The whipped butter, however, was the pièce de résistance. If I could buy a bulk order of that butter, I would pay an unreasonable amount for it. Nick was also a wonderful, patient, and attentive host and waiter to us all. Thanks Hondo's!

    My wife and I made reservations here for a special occasion. We were seated on arrival and the overall service was very good. There was a long delay from being seated to actually getting drinks... but after that it went well. We both ordered steaks(of course). The steaks were good but honestly not what we thought based on the bill total. We will probably go back and try again but maybe after we try a few other steak spots in the area.

    Unfortunately, I our experience and expectations fell short. The food was ok. The service was good. The restaurant is laid out nicely and the bathrooms were clean. Slow to get mixed drinks. Overall most of the meal was tasteless. The bone in filet was cooked medium rare and tender but fell short on flavor. Wine selection was good. Very expensive meal for an experience. I called it up as a great dinner with family and that is priceless. The best and most flavorful part of the meal was the haystack onion rings. I wish I could have been a bit more satisfied with the flavors. Just simply bland.

    Special poundcake dessert.

    We went to Hondo's for my dad's birthday. We all ordered the filet mignon cooked different temps and all were cooked to perfection. Since my parents split a steak, we added more side dishes. One side dish is enough for 2 healthy portions or 3 decent size portions so it worked great. We got the garlic mashers, asparagus and some mixed veggies. The garlic mashed potatoes were my favorite followed by the asparagus. The steak was heavenly. Then they brought this poundcake desert out for my dad. I'm not sure which impressed him more, the steak or the special dessert. We will definitely be back!

    Got to check this place out while in VA for Father's Day weekend. We happened to go on a Sunday which is when they host their Jazz Brunch. It's pretty extensive buffet brunch and there were a lot of yummy food options. I tried stuffed french toast, grits, scrambled eggs made by chef attendant, biscuits, lamb, gnocchi, ribs, and some type of cake with fruit in it for dessert. I also ordered a bloody mary. Whew! LOL, that sounds like so much food. It was a buffet so I just got small portions of all of this and indulged. Everything was really delicious! My favorites were the stuffed french toast and the gnocchi dish. These were just really well prepared and yummy. I enjoyed all the different options and layout. One complaint is that the placement for the omelette station is very awkward and causes a major pileup constantly in the main entrace area. It was pretty hectic and very busy to get around in that area. Overall, it was well worth the traffic. I got to try so much food and I'd go back!

    For special occasions, our top choice for a steakhouse in Richmond is Hondo's. We also have a favorite server named Jeff, who always enhances our experience. Every visit is consistently perfect--fine dining at its finest. We're never disappointed!

    We came here for a birthday dinner. I received a gift of one free entree. What a great deal. Started with the seafood bisque. It is filled with delicious crab. A great bisque. The bread is great and the butter is flavored with honey. Really good. The house salad is great. It has blue cheese and carrots and cucumbers with several types of greens. I had the balsamic dressing. Also great. Spouse had the Caesar salad. Which he enjoyed Our server is Josh. Excellent service. the ribeye steak was excellent. Dessert is next. I got the chocolate torte and spouse got the cheesecake. Served on one plate to say happy birthday. Desserts were great.

We also ordered the Honey BBQ wings for the table. I thought the chicken in my bowl was really good, but the proportions of the bowl were interesting. It was essentially 5/6 rice and then 1/6 the chicken, seaweed salad, and other toppings (cabbage and tomatoes). It was such a deep bowl that I was left with copious amounts of rice at the end. The wings looked awesome but they were slathered in sauce and that was a little disappointing. Plus we could have used some wet wipes for them! The service was pretty slow which, again, Friday night.... But our server visited our table one time. Overall the food (for the most part) and atmosphere were great, but the service was just okay.
