OMG!!! Fabulous…read moreexperience with happy hour. I'm not sure whether to start with the oyster review or the beer or the service!!! All were an A+!! Our daughter has been trying to get us to switch up our Friday evening routine, so we ventured out to Bolo's on hull street. The place is very nicely refurbished and the vibe was welcoming. They were setting up for karaoke as we left and the place was filling up. We had oysters, truffle fries and hush puppies. Next time I'd like to try the shrimp and grits or fish and chips. The beer selection was eclectic and we tried a flight before settling on our choices. I will definitely be back!

What a horrible experience. It was very unfortunate. My friends live in the area and were raving…read moreabout this place. However, we were all disappointed. As soon as we walked in we thought it was going to be a great experience. We were greeted by the friendly hostess. Then our waiter came over and took our orders. There were 6 of us. 2 of our friends were already seated 15 min prior to our arrival and ordered their food and drinks. However, by the time we ordered our items they still were waiting on theirs. We ordered drinks and simple meals such as chicken tenders and fries. We waited 45 min for our drinks and an hour for our food. Then when we received the food it came out in carry out containers and was cold. We told the manager and she finally brought out our hot food. The chicken tenders were well seasoned but because of the wait we did not enjoy our food. The drinks were weak and we tasted absolutely no alcohol. We asked for the manager and waited for her for 20 min. She never came to the table and the waiter ended up removing the food from our bill and just charged us for the drinks. The ambiance was decent. It was a large space but relatively empty. They had loud music coming from the roof top. We saw a huge roach coming out of the door of the restaurant as well. Unfortunately, I won't return. I hope that they will improve on their service substantially.

The guy at the bar took my order and told me it would be about 15-20 minutes. Once I got to my car I opened the top because I didn't want the fish to get soggy from steaming. Immediately it smelled like Gorton's fish sticks. I take a closer look and the fish is fried in bread crumbs. What soul food restaurant doesn't fry fish in cornmeal/cornflour??? Absolutely no seasoning. The macaroni and cheese was bland and basic. The cabbage was actually good. The sorry piece of cornbread isn't even worth mentioning. I paid $22 for this meal. Never again. Richmond's soul food scene is sadly disappointing to me.

The ambiance is something akin to retro modern with classic retro signage painted on the exposed brick walls, oozing with nostalgia, harkening back to days past. Every time I come here, it feels like a family gathering, even though I don't know many of the people here. The restaurant always feels cozy and quaint. The menu is focused, a curated collection of American food items that the chefs lovingly prepare. They certainly know their food science! The appetizer (pimento cheese with crustinis) came out promptly. The textures and flavors all complimented each other. The entrees were equally delicious. I had the turkey breast with gravy and my partner had the fried chicken. The portions focused on the three Ms: massive, mouthwatering, and magnificent.

We each got a beer and ordered our food, which came out fairly quickly. I tried the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich with fries. The sandwich was decent, a little on the small side, and tasted a bit fishy. It was supposed to come with garlic aioli, but I didn't taste any in my sandwich. The fries were good. My friends were happy with their meals. Overall, this is a decent local place to grab drinks and food.

Initially when we arrived there was one other customer but upon exiting I noticed that there was a queue for seats yet the noise level was not loud at all. There's an attached shop for those who want food quickly, yet again it filled up quickly. The neighborhood is undergoing a transformation for the newer generation that's working so we felt safe. Though there were plenty of generations in the restaurant. Huge portions and a clean dining room with attached parking are perfect! We will return.

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.

Very unassuming on the outside, grungy and divey on the inside - and the upstairs area was nice and secluded from the regular crowd to where I felt I could enjoy the best of both worlds i.e. have space to make it into a cute date night while also still immersing ourselves into the divey-ness. 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.
