We were looking for something casual and affordable, and The Franklin Inn fit the bill. The restaurant was pretty busy around 6:30 pm, but we were lucky to grab a booth in the back near the kitchen. I ordered three gimlets and he had two gimlets (at $9 each). For food, I ordered the mozzarella logs to share plus the Franklin Clucker with plant-based chicken and (real) bacon. Added a side of ranch for my fries. My boyfriend ordered 12 jumbo wings and somehow ate them all; it was quite the feat. All told we spent about $120 for everything, which isn't terrible these days. Service was prompt, and everything tasted good. It took me three days to finish my sandwich, so I'd say that I got my money's worth.

Quaint little…read morespot where the neighborhood locals and fellow foodies alike in the Museum District come to have a sip, a good plate, and conversation with friends or strangers! We typically ask the server what's popular or one of their favs and they suggested the mozzarella sticks or should I say logs as they were huge lol (3.6/5 we didn't get a good cheese pull but the smoked tomato cream sauce was good). Mimi also ordered the Habanero Marg in which she said was perfect level of heat and packed a punch (kudos to the bartender, lol 5/5). I opted to try "The Smash Burger" and listen to me...this was indeed one of the best burgers I have ever had (super juicy and so flavorful and the meat quality was great and not gritty at all 5/5) paired with a simple side salad with ranch (and here again some of the best ranch I've had ever 5/5). Mimi opted to try "Grilled Chicken Club: Sliced grilled chicken, ham, bacon, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on rye ( the rye bread was amazing, the sandwich as a whole was filling but could've used more seasoning (ideally the bacon/ham would give the salty factor but a tad more on the actual chicken would've made it a good sando 3.4/5), her fries were cold so we can't in fairness rate them but we didn't bother to send them back as we had so much food between the two of us.

I've wanted to try Tanglewood Ordinary for years, my mom and step-dad ate here years ago and told…read moreme about it and I bookmarked it. When driving home nearby from a weekend in Bath Co., we stopped in for lunch. We called ahead to make sure they were open and they had a table all set up for my husband and I and our 19-month old daughter - with a cute plate, little baby spoon, and highchair ready for her. Our waitress was so nice and the sweet tea was delicious. This is Southern granny cooking just like my grandma made when I was a child. You can order single plates but the best deal is their family-style for $23 a person with black-eyed peas, green beans, stewed tomatoes, biscuits and corn bread, mashed potatoes and gravy and fried chicken with one other protein - we chose pot roast and it was soft and delicious. I wanted dessert - but it was so filling we had to skip although all their pies sounded wonderful. This is a historic old log cabin-type building with plenty of tables inside and they were super nice and low-key for us and our baby. Food was out almost instantly and everything was delicious. Will make sure to stop here again whenever we're driving through from Virginia Beach! Happy to have found it.

When you arrive at this historic destination - you're met with a cozy restaurant that feels both rustic and homey with a waitstaff that is friendly and helpful. While you can order individual plates, we came with a group and opted for the all you can eat lunch. Sides ranged from stewed tomatoes to black eye peas. Everything was seasoned well and full of flavor. For main dishes we were served fried chicken, pot roast, and pulled pork. All were amazing. If you have a sweet tooth - be sure to save room for dessert. The cobbler was delicious and a perfectly warming end to a wonderful meal shared with friends.

Not gonna lie: first impression wasn't great. Run down strip malls aren't our thing, and then we discovered that Roz's is inside a pharmacy. But the "Yelpers" say it's awesome, so in we go. It's a small diner tucked to the left inside the front door of this wonderful ole-timey pharmacy. Seat yourself and order up. If you want to shop à la Cracker Barrel style, while you wait for your food, do it! Ms. Roz is doing her amazing cooking behind the counter. The food was delicious and the portions are so big, you can often share. We enjoyed our meal immensely and service was fast. There were 7 homemade cakes on the counter waiting for someone to order a slice! When you get to the east side of Richmond, come check out Roz's and then shop next door at the antique mall.

Kregger's Tap and Table has ample outdoor seating; about one-third of it is covered. Because it was…read moresuch a hot evening, we spent time surveying the outdoor area. While we found a shaded table with a nice breeze outdoors, the chairs were wet and the table was tilted, so we ultimately opted to dine inside. Inside, a band was setting up for music later in the evening, and they boast a large selection of beers on tap. Despite the indoor area being almost full, we were waited on quickly, and our food arrived promptly. For my main course, I had a classic burger (normally served with cheese). Since I prefer no pink, I ordered it without any pink element, which was great as it kept the flavor clean. The exterior had a nice char that added depth to the flavor. The burger was served with thick slices of tomato, onion, and lettuce, a small amount of mustard, and on the side were jalapeno and hot dill pickles. The seasoned fries were very good, though they were slightly too salty for my taste (I'm not a big salt person). If you need to limit your sodium intake, I suggest skipping the seasoned fries. My wife ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos, which were delicious and beautifully encrested. While she found the coating flavor was unusual with tuna initially, adding lime juice made it perfect. When I tried a piece, we noticed that the tuna might have been cooked on the same surface as my burger, picking up some of the char, which added an interesting element. Overall, the service was excellent throughout, and both our meals were enjoyable and served hot and quickly. The atmosphere is lively, filled with customers enjoying the music. We didn't stay for the band (which I'm sure would have enhanced the mood), but we noted that the outdoor tables are quieter and suitable for families--though this might change later in the evening. This spot is perfect whether you're looking for a quick meal or an enjoyable evening with live music.

However, Kreggers usually delivers food that is absolutely out this world. Stale squashed hamburger bun, wilted weird colored lettuce, burnt cheese, no pickles and the onions had a fuzzy appearance upon looking at what I ordered. Ice cold fried and warm ranch dressing on the side. Nothing like what they usually deliver. I'm so sad they apparently are under new management.

The staff was very friendly and the service was fast. The pineapple upside down cake shooter was so delicious. Their prices are very reasonable too! There were a few downsides unfortunately which is the only reason I gave 3 stars. To start, it was ungodly hot in there. It felt as if there was no AC whatsoever. We were sitting upstairs and I was able to open a window at our table which helped a lot but it was unbearable. Second, while the flavors of the food were in point, the Mac and cheese on mine was ice cold and I didn't find a trace of bbq sauce on there. It wasn't a deal breaker as I had leftovers and will reheat but was disappointing. Lastly, while I understand it's a bar, the writings and genitalia drawings everywhere (and I do mean everywhere including the tables and inside the lampshades at the tables) was over the top. I get that that is the vibe for bars, however it's quite distracting and honestly just felt quite immature. Would I come back here? Possibly. I wouldn't write this place off completely because the food and service overall was good, but it's not one of my top choices to come back to.

Everything about this place screams "hometown dependability" - their menu is nothing crazy special or unique, but the few things they do make they do REALLY WELL. Mac and Me + Chesapeake were two outstanding finds on this menu - the goldfish swimming in the tomato soup were a nice little touch as well :) Excited to come back here when in search for an affordable + less populous spot with some good eats.
