**Dining at Richardson's: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** Richardson's offers an alluring blend of nostalgia and comfort with its charming 50s decor and a diverse menu. Diners have praised the delicious offerings, such as the expertly prepared Asian Duck Salad and satisfying fried shrimp dinner. Yet, experiences vary, with some guests encountering lackluster service, including rude staff and delays. While the atmosphere can provide an enjoyable backdrop, inconsistent service may overshadow the flavorful dishes. Overall, Richardson's showcases potential for delightful meals, though patrons may leave feeling divided on their dining experiences and service quality. A visit may still be worthwhile for those in search of comfort food.

Every Thursday, they serve roasted chicken for only $9.99, and the portions are very generous. Their other meals and ice cream are excellent as well!

Richardson's Cafe offers a diverse menu with good food, showing great potential. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. The waitress was surprisingly rude, treating us as if we were an inconvenience. Her negative attitude made the atmosphere uncomfortable throughout our visit. We weren't even able to get our water refilled. The staff's lack of hospitality and manners was truly shocking, especially given the presence of two restless children adding to the noise. It was difficult to enjoy the experience or even think clearly. I will be recommending that others in Matthews County avoid this restaurant. I won't be returning.

This was our first visit to Richardson's Cafe, where we ordered the fried shrimp dinner priced at $23.99. The meal came with 12 shrimp, fries, and coleslaw. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding, though I felt it was somewhat expensive.

This place had so much potential. A varied menu. Good menu. And provided the most outrageous lack of service I have ever encountered in a great while Waitress was extraordinarily rude by all definition. Clearly we were disturbing her. Just nastyattitude WHEN she bothered to be there at all! We couldn't even get water refills. Add to the vulgar lack of any hospitality ormanners on the wait staff, you had 2 shrieking kids in there that continued to let out such abysmal, loud, nerve shatteringscreeches, we could barely hear each other. I will make it a point to tell other visitors to Matthews County to stay clear ofyour establishment. NEVER AGAIN.

Just bad all around. It is a very cool looking, unique place. However, service was non-existent. I would go so far as to say our server was angry, and maybe she was, but we didn?t know or have anything to do with it. She didn?t ever ask us if we wantedany additional water, and when we asked for our server to come back (by asking another) she showed up several minutes later. Idon?t know how overwhelmed they could have been as there were empty seats and a growing line. I had the chicken and dumplingscombo special. The sandwich was good, but the dumplings was a salty brew of something gross.
