The Pickel Barrel - Richmond

Wow. I'm amazed by this incredible restaurant. The atmosphere is really cozy. Unless you don't like a taxidermy. I got the fried chicken. It was made by scratches and really juicy inside. You know, it's great when you come on a Wednesday night and the parking lot had about 30 cars. I was on my way and I wanted to stop at the gas station to catch something fast. I saw the restaurant was crowded. I was curious. I'm glad. Food was cooked at home and they were really fast. I waited for an order for 10 minutes. If I lived here, I would come to this inexpensive restaurant/bar. There are many seats and parking spaces. is worth coming here.

UPDATE: Customer service has deteriorated. Ordered ham and cheese sandwich and after 20 minutes I got a sandwich with cheese missing. Even with cheese, the sandwich is ridiculously expensive. The waitress had an attitude with us. Beautiful and cozy atmosphere despite the Kovid regulations in the square. Service was really nice and the food was great.

Very much a maw and pop restaurant. Southern Land Food. Remember when I was a kid who went to my grandparent house on Sunday and the smell of Country Food Koch. You definitely get the money. We went twice a weekend because it was so good! I would/will visit again! Thank you for being such a family-oriented restaurant!

My husband and I stayed here for breakfast on the way to Luray Caverns on a Wednesday morning and we loved it! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is a traditional South menu! My husband? The Whole Barrell? for $10.50 and it came with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, your choice of sausage/Bacon/Maple ham, your choice of potatoes shredded / dish / rounds, traditional casting and your choice of biscuit / English muffin / toast. I have the egg/cheese/bacon biscuit with corn-Rindhasch! The biscuit was $3,75 and a side of corn beef hash to which I believe was between $2-$3. This little diner is perhaps a mile from the Interstate behind the Exon gas station. We would highly recommend stopping and supporting this delicious local comfort dinner!

Good quality food. Very stingy on the chip beef gravy, some fruit was way past its bedtime. Hash was great! I'd go back for another try.
