    Spiced Shrimp
    Courtni S.

    We came in for the nfl games this past weekend and sat at the bar. I wish we would have gotten the bartenders name as he was SO friendly! We ordered a couple beers a MASSIVE quesadilla (I forgot to take a picture) and some steamed spiced shrimp! Both were awesome and we will be back!

    Too much time on the panini press. Disappointed it came on just a regular sub roll but I knew that when I ordered it.

    Never again! Been a couple times previously for a quick in and out lunch with work folks. It was always fine - nothing to write home about. This last time I stopped in for another quick lunch. A couple people sitting at the bar; not busy at all. To start, they don't serve sweet tea! I was aghast. lol But I stayed and ordered a Pepsi that turned out to be half flat. Got th menu and the interior of the menu was gross - dirty and sauce and something else on there. I overlooked it and ordered a Cuban that came out over done as hell. It was toasted too long in the panini press. Parts of the bread were burnt and the inside was dry as the Mojave as I said on insta and it lacked any real flavor. The fries were hot and crispy - a plus. The ketchup tasted wrong as hell. Not rancid but on its way. Well? I finish the fries and under the fries were not one but TWO hairs. Weren't mine, I'm bald! Tell my server and say, I think the kitchen needs a little reminder to wear hair nets or something. I don't make a big deal about it cuz at this point it's whatever. He says he'll "yell" at them. Ummm...no yelling isn't necessary, just a reminder - I've worked in kitchens I know what it's like. He takes the plate away and lets me know he "yelled" at them because it was completely unacceptable. I tell him again, no yelling was necessary just a reminder and he replied with, "nah it's okay, I can do what I want around here." So that alone left a nasty taste in my mouth. I never asked for a discount and didn't fully expect one given I ate the thing without complaining but as someone who's worked and run restaurants I definitely would not have charged full price. I'd say it was a waste of 30 minutes but I was waiting for the pharmacy to reopen, but it was definitely a waste of $22!! Never again.

    Sunday 8/6/23 6:47pm The restaurant is packed! That's a great thing. It's a family style restaurant but could also be a casual date spot. Nobody working here gives off the vibe they love their job. That being said, they are a little busy. I'm not really hungry but I wanted something so I will order the crab dip & a cup of homemade chili with a sweet tea. Ok- I was told they don't have the crab dip anymore. They haven't updated the menu yet. They also don't have sweet tea. So I opted for nothing to drink and ordered lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was ok. Would I order it again? Probably not. I also think it has imitation Lobster meat. It doesn't taste real. $9.08 Maybe I'll come back when I'm hungry and try the Ruben.

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.

They of course didn't let me down but I was so surprised on how great the food was. The Bang Bang broccoli was hands down my favorite. So tangy and sweet with this crazy crunch. The garlic butter shrimp were amazing and cooked to perfection. I also had the most wonderful garlic bread slices. Literally could have eaten an entire basket with or without the guac. Burton's has such an amazing selection of alcohol. They don't even have rail alcohol just top tier offerings. I enjoyed an espresso martini made with tequila which was absolutely perfect. I also had a desert flower made with mezcal, elderflower and prickly pear. Listen I can't wait for another. Huge shout out to Yelp for the amazing event and our server Peggah who was absolutely the cutest. Great customer service; knowledgeable; made suggestions and was super personable.

I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and a Greek salad, which was a satisfying combination. The lunch crowd was lowkey and relaxed and I noticed about four people pull up and break out their laptops at the bar to work while they ate. My late lunch snaked into happy hour, so I ended up ordering a cocktail and a key lime pie for dessert. The pie had a delicous graham cracker crust and tasty key lime flavor; however, I was pretty stuffed by this point so I couldn't finish it. Happy hour was really bumping with a great crowd. Nearly every seat at the bar was taken and the music was pretty good. One bartender was on duty servicing the entire bar on her own and when happy hour hit, she got slammed. She held it down though! This restaurant is a fantastic spot whether you are looking for a relaxed lunch or a lively happy hour to wind down the day. Beautiful restaurant, great food and vibes! I'll have to stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Eggs, biscuits, cooked meat from various animals -- all the classics. The menu is fun, ranging from pigs in a blanket to a very typical omelet. It's the kind of place you want to take your girlfriend after her first sleepover. It's not hidden and it's not a secret. If you live in Richmond, you know Dot's. IF you dont know Dot's, you dont live here, you must be a guest. The walls are packed with quirky art, and the crowd ranges from longtime regulars who look like they've had the same barstool since 1995 to first-timers who can't believe they've been sleeping on this place. It's cozy without being cramped -- loud enough to feel alive but you can still have a real conversation. The food is the real story. The menu is creative American comfort -- the kind of cooking that sounds simple until it arrives and you realize someone in that kitchen actually cares. Brunch is especially strong. The biscuits are not to be missed. Neither is whatever the daily special happens to be, because they clearly put thought into it.
