The Sidewalk Cafe is located in the Fan District and is supposed to be a good time for drunch (brunch with drinks), so I wanted to make sure we went on a Saturday morning. I called ahead to ask how long the wait was, since this restaurant is known to always have a wait for brunch. It was only about half an hour, and they were nice enough to make an exception for us and put our name on the list before we arrived.

It was Friday and we were hungry. My friend and I looked at each other and without hesitation said, "Pieday Friday!" and headed over to Proper Pie Co. We wanted to eat a pie for lunch and also buy some for dinner later that night. We were having some friends over and knew that splitting a few savory and sweet pies would be perfect for a family-style group meal.

The Blue Goat is a restaurant right near campus on Grove Avenue. I have always heard great things about it but hadn't had the chance to try it until now, and I'm glad I did. The restaurant has a cool atmosphere with tons of booths and bar seating. It also has private rooms in the back of the restaurants with glass walls so that you can have a bigger party without feeling isolated from the rest of the restaurant. The bar scene Thursday night was crowded with tons of middle-aged people who seemed to be part of the same community. There were tons of friendly vibes -- it seemed like a great neighborhood restaurant.

Mama J's Kitchen is a small, soul food restaurant in downtown Richmond. There is always a wait and all of the reviews rave about the amazing food and that the best way to have everything is fried.

UR Hungry: The Daily Kitchen and Bar

I have been meaning to try Mellow Mushroom for a while now. When it opened in Carytown a few months ago, there was a ton of hype around the restaurant, and it always seemed to be packed. I heard stories of long waits, never being able to get a table, and chilled-out waiters who were enjoyable but not the fastest servers.

The Magpie has been on my list of restaurants to try for a long time. It was not at all what I expected, but I really enjoyed it. For some reason--maybe it's the name--I expected Magpie to be a restaurant with sophisticated Southern food, but it did not turn out to be.

I've heard tons of good reviews about the relatively new burger place in town called Burger Bach, and finally had a chance to try it this past weekend. Burger Bach (pronounced "batch") is a "New Zealand inspired gastronomical public house," aka nice burger joint right on the edge of Carytown. When we walked into the restaurant on Sunday night, it was very full but did not feel overwhelmingly packed and had a comfortable atmosphere. The space is not very big; it has a bar with seating, one long bar-height table that spans the length of the restaurant and is community type seating (meaning you will be seated right next to other parties) and booths lining the rest of the free wall space in the restaurant. It is not your typical layout; it almost promotes a sense of community.

Millie's Brunch is known to be the best in town, so I obviously had to find out for myself. The online reviews were amazing and tons of people suggested the Devil's Mess as the dish to order--but everything is amazing. My friends and I were en route to the restaurant when I called ahead to see how long the wait was. A lively British man answered the phone and said it would be about a 30-minute wait and said we should come down right away to have the best brunch of our lives.

I have always seen Secco Wine Bar in Carytown, but not been sure what it was about. Did it only have wine? Does it serve meals or just hors d'oeuvres? Most wine bars have food, but I hadn't heard of anything about it.

I have heard a lot of good things about Selba, and it was on the top of my list for this season's Restaurant Week.

A continuation of parents weekend...

Family weekend is one of the best weekends of the year for all of us foodies. Parents from all parts of the country come to see their dear children they miss so much. And since they miss us so much they are willing to spend some dough. Family weekend is a great opportunity to try all of the restaurants in Richmond you have always wanted to try but cannot afford on a college budget. I made my family reservations at Pearl's Raw Bar Friday night.
