their habanero salsa with guac and chips is great with a margarita. I don't know many who praise the rest of their fare.

I love the outdoor set up Portico has

Riverside Tavern has heated outdoor seating off Forest Hill Ave

WEST STAINES MASSIVE.

Every freaking time

Yup, that's the one.

No, I do not agree. You need to stop being so judgmental when people talk about where they are getting their pets.

Mine was probably mellow mushroom. Not quite crispy enough for my liking, but definitely not the worst…

That’s too bad. I used to grab lunch there pretty frequently when I worked downtown. Though tbf I always got the same poke bowl lunch special so I’m not too sure about the rest of the menu

I went with a quarter ham - far fewer leftovers.

I usually get the burger or pulled pork. Sometimes French toast/breakfast for dinner and it suited me fine. I feel like the pasta would put me into a coma.

Still to this day, I rave about Henrico Doctor's post -L&D bacon.

You know, we were a crime capital 15 years ago

The only one I follow really who is an individual is miss_elaine_neous. I've found out about so many events & restaurants from her updates

Yeah, "Joe's Inn is mid" is my hot take for food in Richmond.

Conejo. Flavors were merely okay, everything was pricey, and the portions were tiny. Didn't try any of the drinks, but the whole place felt more like a restaurant to be seen at instead of eat at. These complaints make me feel old.

I’m fortunately struggling to think of the last underwhelming meal of mine from a Richmond restaurant. I will say that the nice little sandwiches at Sugar and Twine in Carytown used to be a great value for your dollar but that time is sadly over.

Y'all are gonna hate me, but I don't see the appeal of food at Joe's Inn. They have a nice bar scene but I wasn't impressed by the meals I've had there. Much prefer Bombolini pasta cooked at home and a pint of Guinness at Penny Lane or Rosie's.

I'm in Raleigh for the holidays but yes I can. Remind me in 3 days

Also agree with Miss Elaine Neous on IG!

Fairfield library is beautiful

>Is that really how big city people view us?

Tbh, Richmond is not even on the radar of most Americans. I talk to people from all over the country in big cities (through work), and most raise their eyebrows when I say I live here and not Austin, NYC, DC, Denver, Bay Area etc. I get the "what's it like there?" question often. The most common thing people say is "I have heard it's beautiful out there". My hometown in the Midwest can't even find Virginia on a map.

Exception being people who have visited UR for campus tours etc. That school draws fancy folk from all over it seems.

Yes but tillamook is wayyy cheaper than anything local. I (unfortunately) worked there for almost a year as a baker… I’d recommend literally anywhere else for your dessert needs

You’re not wrong. They’re not my favorite place in town or anything, I do tend to prefer the local locals
