I lived in Richmond for 4.5 years for school before moving to NYC.

The food is incredible- and the (Southern) hospitality even better. I felt very welcome and the hostess gave my friend and I an option to sit near the window or further into the restaurant. It's a very small restaurant, and from what I'm told there's normally a long wait, but luckily we had no problems.

I ordered the fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, and candied yams and everything was cooked to perfection. I wish I would've ordered the greens, but I knew there would be no room for it all. Prices are very reasonable $3 for mac n cheese $7 for two pieces of white meat fried chicken. The quality/quantity are worth every penny. If in the area, you must check this out! I almost regret not eating here more when I was an RVA resident.
