Sheppard Street Tavern - Richmond

The service is consistently excellent, whether you're sitting at the bar or in a booth. The bar menu has everything I want, and the food consistently meets my expectations. The only reason I'm not giving a full five stars is that I prefer to keep it less crowded and want to avoid more people discovering this gem.

I have to talk about the Nashville Hot Chicken—it’s undoubtedly the best fried chicken in Richmond. The collard greens and mac and cheese paired wonderfully with the spicy chicken. We can’t wait to come back for more!

We had deviled eggs with sweet chili/Thai basil, blackened fish sandwich w/handcut fries, and meat loaf. All were really excellent and delish. The service is phenomenal. Restaurant deserves a much higher rating. There are only 4 strides between the smokers patio and the inside of the restaurant if that matters to anyone.

My kids and I decided to visit the restaurant thanks to a great Groupon deal. The food was tasty; we tried the mac and cheese with chicken fingers. The flavors included blue cheese, panko crumbs, cheese, and Buffalo sauce. It was enjoyable and unique. I found that two people could easily share this dish as it was quite substantial.

The food and service were both excellent! I had the Belt sandwich along with a Pom cider, while my wife enjoyed the Bennie and the kids split the French toast. The Belt came with a side of Brussels sprouts that were cooked to perfection—definitely some of the best I've had. It's a really cool place, and I will definitely return!
