Best Casual Restaurants in Richmond

We recently dined at The Federal Grill - Katy and had a fantastic experience. We started with the Cheeseburger Egg Rolls and Bang Bang Shrimp appetizers—both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Before our entrées arrived, we were served their delicious bread with their unique take on orange marmalade, which was a delightful surprise—sweet, tangy, and the perfect complement to the warm, fresh bread. For our main courses, we had the Blackened Chicken Pasta and Chicken Fried Chicken, both of which were excellent. The seasoning on the pasta was spot on, and the crispy breading on the chicken was perfect. The service was attentive and friendly, making our dinner even more enjoyable. From start to finish, everything was top-notch, and we’ll definitely be back for another great meal!

I was apprehensive going on valentines night, only because in past experiences, restaurants are usually short-staffed and it’s too crowded. Gauchos did a fantastic job, they didn’t overcharge or have a limited menu for food just because it was Valentines night like the majority of restaurants do. Food came hot, waiters did a great job periodically checking on you since it’s really more of a self-serve type…

Ambiance, food, staff and service are fantastic! Never had a bad experience here. Our server Evan was “on point”.

We had an amazing birthday dinner for my daughter! The manager was very present from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The bar tenders were super attentive. Great drink recommendations. The food and presentation was awesome as always! Our server Dorris was amazing! She was very kind and patient! We loved our evening and can’t wait to return!!!

Great food, great service, lovely ambience. Definitely recommend
