Went out last weds for dinner with a friend who just returned from down south for the holidays. They have parking on site and daily specials. Weds night is skirt steak for $30. The steak was perfectly cooked and we had it blackened for flavor. The taste was superb and juicy. Nice fresh mashed potatoes. Sorry I'm not a veggie person so I didn't partake. You can't go wrong here with their food. We even stayed for some ice cream for dessert read more

Richmond Republic - American Near Me - Staten Island, New York

This place is spacious great for big gatherings, sporting events and like this Saturday night DJ CAMILO (who's always great). I've come here a few times and every time the disappointment increases. The service besides the people at the door charging was atrocious to say the least. We had to stop servers 3 times to get served and finally went to the bar where the bartenders are rude, obnoxious and with an entitlement complex. Every time I ordered from who seemed like the head bartender (Gabby) she had a nasty distasteful look on her face. I then proceeded to order drinks from another bartender and left my wallet at the table, by the time I reached in my bag to get it, gabby, with a full bar, was tapping my shoulder, saying " you have to pay for that" I proceeded to show her what I was doing and all she could say is hurry up, (mind you my table was in front of the bar. The stench of racial tension was evident, welcome to Staten Island south shore. The rest of the night although I enjoyed dancing made the best of it and kept a smile on my face there were similar incidents the waiter that finally came shoving the check at my friend and finally the bouncer asking (very respectfully) I had to leave. When I asked him why he said "I honestly don't know why" I expressed I was in my way out anyway and left. YOULL NEVER FIND ME HERE read more

Hard Pass. The valet people did a good job The chairs were absolutely terrible to sit in... I felt like I was being tortured as I waited for my water, beer, and then finally, my overpriced food. The staff seemed overworked, and the TVs and music were way too loud. They have security- should that make me feel safe or concerned?!? Maybe I'll come back - but wow- expensive. read more

Richmond Republic - Food was good. - American Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Burger was excellent, as was the Greek bowl. House cut fries were fabulous. Very nice staff and the restaurant was spotless. Seating is very uncomfortable, no booths or tables offering any kind of privacy. All seating is along a bench (1/2 booth ) , with uncomfortable chairs. read more

Good variety on the menu. It's mostly bar food. Pastrami egg rolls were very good. Large pretzel was also good. Burgers are tasty but the fries are salty and just ok. My steak salad was overdressed. My basil smash was delicious. There are games playing on all the tv screens. This is good for a casual night out. read more

What I just experienced ordering delivery from them was a complete joke. I placed an order online from their actual website (not a third party) and was missing a French onion grilled cheese. I checked my email and saw that I had ordered it, but it wasn't in the bag. I call and they said they will get one out. An hour and 10 mins later, and 2 phone calls added phone calls I get this ice cold shriveled up sad excuse for a grilled cheese, let alone a $20 one. No fries, and what looks like a kids menu grilled cheese with French's crispy onion in it. How do you even send that out as a make up for your own mistake??!! The manager didn't even have the decency to get on the phone, but at least he relayed the message to give me a refund. read more

My family and I visited Richmond Republic this past Sunday for brunch, and unfortunately, the experience was a letdown from start to finish. We were the second party to arrive right at opening and were seated promptly, which gave us hope for a smooth meal. Unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. Despite being one of the first groups there, it took 30 minutes just to receive water. During that time, another party arrived--apparently with a reservation for a draft football event--and the staff's attention noticeably shifted. We waited another 20-25 minutes for our food, only for it to arrive cold. Even more frustrating, a party that arrived after us not only received their meals first but had already eaten and left before our dishes even made it to the table. To make matters worse, when my husband and brother-in-law ordered beers, they both said the beers tasted stale and old. I ordered a tea, hoping for something warm and comforting, but it was already cold by the time it arrived. It was really disappointing to see such poor coordination, inattentive service, and a lack of care for the food and drinks--especially considering how empty the restaurant was when we arrived. Richmond Republic has potential, but sadly, our brunch experience didn't reflect that. read more

richmond republic is such a fun place to go for dinner with friends or go out to a bar and get drink. The servers are all so attentive to detail and go out of their way to make sure you are being served properly. Gina and Kerri are rock stars. The bar staff are all so friendly! Jade, Angelina, and Gabby go out of their way to make sure that the customers are served quickly and with a smile! They always make conversation and make everyone feel like regulars! The espresso martini is 5 stars read more

Well we tried to go with recommendations and this is what we got. Chicken sandwich was good, shrimp tacos were good but man oh man take the fish tacos off the menu! I asked the waiter not too much ice in my drink ($15) I was done in 5 minutes. I should have listened to my instincts and the waiter about the fish tacos but I did not. Please post when you have a dj that plays a mix of music and not only house. read more

My husband and I were there on Tuesday for a late lunch and some cocktails. The bartender Christina was the BEST BARTENDER ever! She made us delicious drinks and was super friendly. She was literally the only person working on the floor at the time we were there and she held down the bar, tables and phones with ease. Very attentive! I was impressed by her ability to be doing so much and she did it with a smile. Thanks for a fun time Christina and the awesome service!!Will definitely be back! read more

I came here for Mother's Day Brunch. It was nice nothing special. The food was good. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. They have some interesting food items for Brunch. The coffee was unpleasant. They really need a better vendor. It really was terrible and they didn't have raw sugar. Lastly, The only thing that drives me up a wall is cloth seating. Why do you have cloth seating? It's gross! Get rid of it.. read more

Came here with a group of friends late at night on a Tuesday around 9PM and had no trouble getting seated. We ordered a bunch of food, drinks, and everything was very decent! I got the chicken tacos for taco tuesdays and although the chicken was a tad bit dry, it was definitely a good size portion. I had trouble finishing. We got some pretzels and nachos on the house which was awesome! We stayed for a bit after eating to just chill and chat. It's an ideal spot to just hang out, drink, and eat above average bar food. read more

If you haven't been to Richmond Republic please know you must get the pretzel. If you don't you will forever miss out on the soft warm deliciousness that this pretzel brings to your soul. I came here all the time with my friends for drinks. Whenever we go there's normally a band or dj playing so it's fun to go dancing after dinner. read more

Richmond Republic - American Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I went there on many occasions. I love their brunch but also great dinner spot. Great bar and tons of large screen televisions.

I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner while my car was being serviced next door. I heard about this place so I wanted to give it a shot. They have a pretty good lunch special Menu for 10.95. I wanted to try a few things so I went ahead and did the soup and salad. The Lobster bisque was okay, I was hoping their were chunks of lobster but it was bits and shreds. I had the salt and pepper calamari which was really good. For entree I went with the scallops and asparagus with purée cauliflower. It was really tasty and the scallops were a nice size. I wish the purée was a bit thicker but it was good. I enjoyed my meal in a nice quiet setting. However they were setting up for their Friday dinner crowd. Staten Island has a really great array of restaurants and Richmond Republic adds to that list. I would go back and try more! read more

Came here on a Friday night with my girls, had a 7:15pm reservation & we were seated right away. Right when you walk in the atmosphere is complete party vibes from the lighting, decorations, music, tv's. Definitely makes for a great night out! We sat in a comfy booth and the menu's (both drink & food) had huge selections! We ordered Twisted Teas, Red Sangria, Pina Colada Sangria and Empress Lemonades for our drinks (the Empress Lemonade is the pretty purple glittery drink!) As for our food we ordered Buffalo Chicken Salads (No Blue Cheese/Blue Cheese Dressing, replace it with Creamy Balsamic and thank me later!!!), Tacos, a Burger, Fried Pickles, Potato Skins, Calamari & the huge Pretzel, and let me tell you everything was incredible! For the price you pay you definitely get your money's worth (prices are super reasonable as well), if you are looking for a fun night out this is your place! Tip: They do charge a 4% fee if you don't pay full cash so make sure to make a stop at the ATM beforehand!! read more

Third time here and I am still not a fan. They had no salt for the Margherita, forgot one of our dishes and 5 people waited to eat while the 6th meal came. Service was slow. The chicken sandwich with bacon and avocado was good. Also, after paying the bill we were sitting and chatting. We were asked to leave our table and suggested we relocate to the bar because they had a large party coming in. The place had three tables occupied in the entire restaurant. I won't be coming back. read more

This place is always a go to for drinks and a bite. On the weekends they have a live dj. The food is regular bar food style but certain things are not great. The beyond burger is really yummy and the truffle fries are always really good. They have a great selection of beers! read more

if I could give it, zero stars, I would. The food was ice cold. we waited one hour before we were served our cocktail, which was so watered down that it was undrinkable. the speaker, a psychic used a microphone that was not connected to anything so we could never hear her, the music was never turned off so we couldn't even hear her without the microphone. no one cared and when I went to the ladies room before I left, everybody was talking about how ridiculously bad this place was. save yourself the aggravation and steer clear. It is not worth the hassle to park. read more

Took my girl-friend here and we had a great time. I love the desert. They have lots of healthy choices. The parking usually gets jammed up because of its popularity. Love watching the super bowl here. The tv's are great! You feel like you are in the game. read more

Food was okay nothing special. Staff sucked! There was a girl with blonde hair who was extremely rude AF!! My friends and I were a party of 4 we visited RR for the first time this Saturday, we came for brunch. I live in NJ but my friends drove all the way from Brooklyn to save me the trip across the bridge, I wish I just went into BK, because this place was a waste of our time. As I mentioned, we wanted the brush special which is unlimited mimosas we only got two pitchers. When we asked our waitress for one last pitcher before paying the bill she had the nerves to say "it's two hours already" with the worst attitude. First of all , she did not attend to us that often to refill our glass like you will expect when doing unlimited brunch. Worst brunch place to come won't return!!! . read more

We ordered their: "RICHMOND REPUBLIC FIESTA WEEKEND SPECIAL " that they posted about on Facebook. Here is the description: $55 (feeds 6-8ppl) 1/2 tray chicken fajitas 1/2 tray Mexican style rice (jalapeño , red, green peppers, corn) 1/2 tray Baja nachos I'll upload the photos of what we got so you can see how terrible this is. Absolutely the worst and most scarce nachos I have ever seen. It was a tray of chips, with a light amount of toppings pretty much only on the top layer. The tray of chicken fajitas looks like a lot, and it is, but it's so extremely bland that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone if it were free. Sorry to be harsh, but this is an extreme ripoff. Everything was flavorless and this can definitely not feed 6-8 people unless you mean 1 tortilla filled lightly for each person. The stuff like guacamole and salsa for the fajitas also is barely enough for 2 or 3 people. read more

My wife went there on February 11th, 2023 with her friend for the live music and was harassed by a guy who decided put his hands on her. A big argument ensued as she told him to keep his hands off of her and the staff there did nothing. If they're not going to ensure a safe environment for women there, I wouldn't suggest that anyone go there. read more

Place is great. I have been there a few times now and I must say, the vibe is great. Staff is nice and the menu has improved. I highly recommend it. read more

Walked in to be seated a mangement is arguing with a waitress on where she will serve tables or she can just go home. Very unprofessional for patrons to hear the disrespect to their staff. Seated at a high top bar unstable table asked to moved to a regular table seated at a broken booth that rocks when seated in. Booth behind me people pushing against move the the entire booth , definitely not a wonderful experience. Valet parking offered for their private parking lot, definitely not something I am ever a fan of, but that's my preference. Food was ok nothing the rave about , typical bar style food , nothing over the top.. read more

Hit or miss. My last few times here, either the burger or the sides were good, while the other was lacking. Wish it was more consistent for the price. The lux burger and the matrix burger are my favorites, and the fried pickles are good when not overly breaded. read more

Yesterday a group of us came in for lunch. James C. was absolutely a pleasure. He was super friendly and very attentive. However, we all didn't like that he was the only server. While there were no issues to complain of, we just all felt like he was working so hard with zero assistance from any other employees. More servers are definitely needed. I hope RR doesn't lose James due to him being overworked and under appreciated and more than likely underpaid, for ALL he does alone, by his employers. RR-not every one is replaceable. James-thank you for your excellent service and awesome personality! read more

Excellent time for lunch, was greeted by an incredibly accommodating waiter. Truly appreciated his attentiveness and suggestions. He was more then happy to help and the food was outstanding we ordered burgers cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who has not tried it and if you have I am sure you will be back. read more

me and my family decided to come here for thanksgiving and it was such a disappointment that from start to finish it just kept getting worse. they charged $45 for skins of the turkey with pieces of dark meat like served in a soup kitchen. so disgraceful! don't ever think of coming here on a holiday and if you do order from the regular menu. you'll get better food for half the price. horrible! horrible!! read more

I was surprised to get reservations on a Fri night last minute, usually this place is booked. Every time I walk in the dining room has so many empty tables and no one is even waiting to be seated yet we have to wait, including tonight and I was 15 mins early. Two other parties came in overheard same time, they're waiting as well. Too unorganized when it comes to that. Anyway the only reason I come here is because of the endless menu of beers and cocktails, so many choices! The burgers are pretty good. The appetizers are even better. We shared the Mac and cheese (delicious very tasty) and Buffalo wings (meaty but not crispy enough). They had a live bad playing by the bar, which was cool. If you want yummy apps and good drinks this is the place. read more

Richmond Republic is a great spot to grab drinks and dinner with friends! The giant pretzel appetizer is delicious! I also really enjoy the Steak Frites and the Steak Sandwich. Both are really good and substantial meals. The ambiance is great at Richmond Republic and like I said, makes for a great spot to meet up with friends. All of the staff is extremely attentive and helpful! You should definitely give it a try. read more

This is a new place on the island (much needed for the matter) and I went in not expecting much. We were a party of 7, although I just got a drink because I joined later on. Food ordered: Seared scallops - good Lux burgers - great Classic burger - great Chicken avocado salad - good Truffled Mafalda Pasta - great Drinks, we all got the basil smash and it was delicious! My concerns: The wait is FOREVER, even with a reservation. I kind of think it's a deliberate way to make you wait at the bar and order drinks which isn't appreciated. The reservation was for 7 PM. The table was seated at almost 8:30 PM, food ordered only at 9 PM! The food only got to the table at nearly 10 PM! It's a Friday night and they're busy, I get it, but I think a 3 hour wait for actual food, all things considered, is a tad ridiculous. It's also quite common practice even when they aren't busy, like early in the evening when there are clearly numerous tables that are empty. Our waitress was pleasant, which was nice, and did a good amount of checking in which is nice considering how busy she was. Overall, it's a good place for Staten Island but definitely do not be in a time crunch when going! If you plan on going somewhere post dinner, plan ahead for extra time! You've been warned. read more
