Good experience for sure.

Cool, except... half the tables were sitting there just waiting to be used. We ask about eating at the bar--nope, "not allowed." We walk in to order a drink while we wait and people are happily feasting at the bar. Before we could even sip the drinks we ordered, our table was suddenly ready. It was like the restaurant gods flipped a switch: awkward start over, let the good times roll. From then on, the night was smooth sailing. Our server was a rockstar. Attentive, friendly, and somehow always appearing right when we needed them. Now let's talk food. The mac and cheese. Oh. My. Goodness. Forget everything you thought you knew about mac and cheese. This wasn't a side dish--it was a life event. Creamy, cheesy perfection that deserves its own fan club. I'd come back just for that bowl of happiness. So yes, the beginning was a little sitcom-worthy, but Millstone redeemed itself in a big way. Great vibe, great food, and a must-visit in downtown Richmond. If you haven't been, stop depriving yourself and go already.

This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.

That extra step of melting the cheese makes a difference -it's a nice layer of melted cheddar and they put a cheese sauce over the top too!l

We had the Spring Rolls, Empanadas, Buffalo Chicken Wontons and a side of the Loaded Fries. Everything was delicious. They had a good selection of beer, wine and cocktails. We had two other family members join us after we ordered and our server got an extra chair for our table to accommodate a total of 5 of us. It worked out perfectly. The atmosphere last night was loud and lively, which was fine with us.

Yummy sushi, but also, yummy pub food? A win for me…read more I've enjoyed a nice beer at their small bar that feels like a whole in the wall, but recently I ordered out sushi and a cheesesteak - and where else could I get such a combo, but Drafthouse? The sushi was fresh and stacked--an excellent serving. I particularly liked my Spicy Storm: tempura salmon, jalapeno, cucumber with spicy crab and avocado, eel sauce, and wasabi sauce on top. Nice kick, cooled off by the crab and avocado. Great crunch, as well! The sleeper win was the cheesesteak. I went with chicken, which I rarely do. At first bite, I was a little confused, because the flavor isn't the Philly style I'm used to. I realized there were bits of bacon (says that on the menu-whoops), but it didn't over power the flavor, it add almost a sweet smokiness. And their beer cheese? SO GOOD.

It was still hopping, so I guess others had the same idea we did. I ordered the River City burger- pepper jack cheese, tempura jalapeño, egg, & river city sauce. I think it was special for burger week and not normally on their menu, but it should be. It was delicious! Added fries to my order & they were hot, & crispy. Beer prices were a bit pricy- even a burger week special wasn't, IMO, a special. Their location on Bardstown means it's a pain the butt to find parking, but that's true of all bardstown businesses. Not necessarily a deal breaker; Just another layer to think about when going to eat here. I definitely hope to go back to try their sushi & sashimi options.

The view is the only thing that sets the venue apart and even that is comprised of mostly overlooking parking lots. Also, better seen after dark to hide many of the flaws.

The bar and restaurant seem to have gradually declined with the menu being choked down to bare minimum selection, the food quality and associated value are subpar, and faded decor and neglected facilities appear tattered and worn. The seemingly limited amount of waitstaff seem to wish they were somewhere else. Me, too!
