    Went with my fan fav: biscuits & gravy
    Robert M.

    Just a funky little shack. The Love Shack! Came here for a brunch/lunch after visiting the garden and had a fantastic mid-week meal. I went with the biscuits and just amazing gravy. Some very savory and meaty gravy. I was a bit put off by the sprinkles and glitter at first, but I quickly plowed thru it and enjoyed the meal heartily. I would absolutely recommend this place again and look forward to my next visit.

    Thee love shack opened at 9 am and we got there 10 minutes early..there was a line already to get in..we knew we were on to something. Great place! Food was excellent! Staff was professional and fast. The menu names are from the "Love shack" song. Decor is unique but tasteful. Definitely will be going back.

    Big as a Whale with cheese grits
    Grisel L.

    We were looking for a cool place to get breakfast and when we found one named, "The Love Shack" we had to try it. All the food on their menu are named from lines in the song. As a B52s fan, I was sold. We went on a Sunday morning around 12 p.m. We were told there was a 40 minute wait to be seated inside and that the other option was to eat at their outdoor seating. For my first time, it wasn't my preference since I wanted to see the cool decor inside, but we opted to eat outside. That's when it went downhill. The sun was in our face the whole time. I moved the chair to face the wall, but no matter where we sat, it was terrible. Then, there was a cute HUGE dog (Great Dane) at the table next to us that was getting closer waiting for food to drop. The service was good. Waiter got our order. We both got the, "Big as a Whale" which included coffee all under $10. We did opt for the cheesy grits for an addtl. $3; still great price. There were flies circling us. They were landing on our mug, food, and table. Yuck! I know this is beyond their control, but it was unpleasant. Food was ok, but it got cold fast. Overall, I didn't rate it high because of all that you read. I think if they're going to offer outdoor seating, maybe get something to block some of the sun. I believe in 2nd chances, so I will try again and eat inside and update my review.

    Decided to try a Richmond staple for their holiday brunch menu. It wasn't too bad and I enjoyed the French toast and the drink. 8/10

    Glitter on the mattress
    Michael S.

    This is a wonderful place for brunch -- if you can get in. Wait times are usually long. Everything everyone else has said about the decor (kitchy and fun) and wait staff (friendly and efficient) is all true. The food is all playfully described and for the most part boldly executed. The sugar bun is a MUST ORDER, folks. Just don't order anything else sweet as this is a sugar coma waiting to happen. Rich and sweet and enough for two. I made the "mistake" of ordering the kryptonite as well (see pictures below for description and pic) and between the two started screaming for insulin. LOL. Great bloody mary too. And great iced tea. Make sure you look at the specials board before looking at the menu. The daily creations are really the star of the show. but if you want to order from the menu I can recommend "Glitter on the mattress" which is sausage and BACON gravy over Texas toast. A real meal! I've also ordered and enjoyed the Love rules breakfast burrito. The only thing I have had there that I do not enjoy is the cheese grits. There is an off flavor, almost burnt. My wife loves them so the jury is out on this. But overall, you will not be disappointed at SB's. Patio seating available, parking ample between the main lot and the rear area.

    SB's is always 20/10 all around. Came in for brunch on a Thursday morning. We got seated right away and got our drinks within 5 minutes of sitting. We ordered right away and the food was our quick. Everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful. I got their classic Benedict and I was not disappointed! The eggs were cooked perfectly and paired well with the croissant and ham. They gave a good amount of hollandaise which is always a plus. My daughter got the breakfast combo that came with cheesy scrambled eggs, toast, two sausage patties, and fruit. The portions are huge! She loved her meal too. The team is always so welcoming and we love their values too. I was happy to see tables were filling up during our meal even on a weekday! Great food, amazing vibes, and wonderful people.

    We are traveling and decided to look for a breakfast spot. I am so glad we came here. I would describe the ambiance as eccentric. It's decorated with all sorts of different things from string Christmas lights to a bicycle as a sink in the bathroom. The people are very nice and not overwhelming. But the food. Yum. Everything was fresh. Nothing was greasy or heavy. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the coffee.... Kind of tasted like brown water.

    French Toast
    Alyssa C.

    SB's Love Shack is an absolute gem. We went a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing. It's a smaller café, so when it's cold there's limited indoor seating and sometimes a short wait. They don't take reservations, and they won't seat you until your full party arrives -- which honestly makes sense given the size. When the weather is warm, they have a large, beautiful patio, which would be perfect. They're open 9 AM-2 PM, and from the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and inviting. The décor is super unique with a total RVA vibe. Now the food -- unreal. I ordered the Glitter on a Mattress (Texas toast topped with bacon and sausage gravy, a side of bacon, and edible glitter ). It was SO good and such a huge portion I couldn't even finish it. We also tried the French toast with a flavored fruit cream and syrup (incredible), plus one of their breakfast sandwiches, which was absolutely divine. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Parking is limited in the front, but if you drive around the block there's plenty of parking in the back, and you can walk up through a covered patio area straight to the restaurant -- super easy. We actually lingered a bit chatting after eating and didn't realize people were waiting. Our server was so kind and polite when he asked if we were finished so they could seat others -- truly great service all around. Such a fun, unique spot with amazing food and great energy. Highly recommend, and I can't wait to go back.

    If you're not showing up early to SBs Love Shack, you will be waiting and honestly, it's worth every minute. This place is pure brunch magic. The eggs? Life-changing. I don't know what kind of sorcery they use, but they're next-level. The breakfast burrito with the sweet potato hash is my go-to...perfect salty-sweet balance, and the sauce that comes with it? Straight-up decadent. Like, I would put it on everything if they let me. Their pancakes and French toast slap too, and the daily specials are always tempting. Oh, and the mimosas? Exactly how mimosas should be--mostly booze, kissed with juice. Bless. Groovy 70s vibes all around, handwritten menus, and good energy everywhere. There's a lot out back for parking, so that's a win. The wait time is the only downside, but that's just because everyone else in Richmond already knows this place rules. I come here almost every weekend. This is the ultimate brunch spot.

    Sweet Hash & "I Can't Hear You" over this pile of pork pancakes
    Kayla W.

    I recently went to this restaurant for the second time and was blown away yet again. They had very quick service even though it was a packed restaurant. I ordered the "I Can't Hear You" over this pile of pork scallion pancakes, sweet hash, and a berry lemonade drink. Everything was absolutely amazing and the portions were huge, I had to take half of it home to enjoy later. The waitress had great recommendations and was super friendly. The inside is really colorful and it's impossible to not have a good time when you stop by. It is a must see restaurant that truly captures the unique side of Richmond.

    Great ambience.
    Mark W.

    Love Shack Baby! I ordered takeout for my wife, daughter and I. The food was amazing even after a 15min drive. Wife said the grits were some of the best she's had. I had a grilled cheese and ham, which was amazing. The side greens were very tasty. The service was friendly and prompt. If I lived close I'd be there every week!

    cheddar scallion pancake
    Ella K.

    A dive bar that only serves breakfast, sign me up. the cheddar scallion pancake tasted exactly like cheddar bay biscuits from red lobster. The breakfast chili was savory, hearty, filling, and cheesy. The cornbread croutons are a nice touch, but not sure if the egg needs to be there. The bartender was super. You must try the house made flavored butters!

    Maria T.

    Always fun and always delish! I love the pancakes, so thick and fluffy - blueberry please! The service is fabulous - Jake was so sweet and not only greeted us, but showed us to our table and was so friendly and gracious! Our server was also friendly, down to earth, patient and knowledgeable! The decor is super cool, hearts and vintage signs, cute egg curtains and mix matched mugs, fun disco ball at the bar, so homey and cozy! One of the best breakfast places in town!! "I can't hear you!" I said "Best breakfast places in town!"

For those of you who are unfamiliar with a chopped cheese sandwich, let me break it down for you. A chopped cheese sandwich is when a burger is cooked steak and cheese style and put on a hoagie roll. This sounds like it should be a simple concept but so many sandwiches fall short of hitting the mark. THIS ONE DOES NOT! The meat on this sandwich is cooked wonderfully. The seasoning is perfect. The temperature is excellent. It's juicy and not any way overcooked. It smells amazing as soon as you open the bag. The fries are also a sticking point for me. They are golden brown and have just the right amount of salt and crunch to them without being dried out. My lunch is always really in minutes and I enjoy talking to the owner while I wait. He always greets me with a smile and makes my business feel appreciated. There are several other menu options but I am so smitten with this one that I have not ventured to try anything else.

The owner was so pleasant and kind, and allowed me to make modifications to the sandwiches. It took about 10 minutes for them to be prepared fresh, and in that time, so many other folks flooded into the store to order too! It was great to see how popular they were, given that the sandwiches were excellent. It's close by, so I plan to return soon.

When i called today to complain/request refund, I'm told the owner- Tony, was the delivery guy, he had other deliveries to make. he Knocked...so they will refund the tip. THE TIP!? no. there is a working doorbell, it's a camera, it lights up when you walk onto the porch. you were able to text me that you were changing the ETA...why not that it was delivered. but you knocked. ok, cool, my food was cold, there were bugs on my porch flying around the boxes.

I've heard nothing for hours. i DO NOT RECOMEND ANYMORE! Their service was once great, always pleasant and nice. It's easier to just go to dominos, at least when they mess up i get my money back!
