    Loved the music in the video, David does a wonderful job of narrating, and it's nice to see the little bed checker back today, and the wife and I hope her school work is going good ! That menu is quite extensive, that cheesey bread had my mouth watering.That pizza looked great and so much cheese, the sourdough crust was different.The devour was pretty cool, liked the train tracks outside. Reminded me of the movie the Blues Brother, where Jake and Ellwood lived right next to the tracks in Chicago. That's for another great video, God Bless 👍🏈🦡

      Thank you for all your kind words. It means so much. The location is downtown Richmond and this restaurant is a major part of this area. Not sure if the video really showed just how big this place is. Carly loved the cheese bread! Carly has had a great start to school. She is an FFA.officer this year and is enjoying that. After we ate we went to Spirit Halloween., which Carly enjoyed. David does do a great job with the narrating. Hope you have a great weekend!

    This one had me seriously LOL! I was treated here years ago for my birthday by my GF and some of my colleagues. One of my first after becoming a "recycled bachelor". It was such a well-kept secret that I didn't know something was up until I was getting dressed and couldn't find my keys. My lady goes and says, "I'll use my keys and drive since they are my keys." (Yes, I had a "designated driver". I wish more people would do that! That was the first inkling I had that something was up as my birthday was the following day. I knew it was a sacrifice for her as she found my Hummer H3 to be a handful to drive. She had taken my keys as she knew that if I drove, I wouldn't drink at all.) I have to say that this is a great party place! The staff really got into the party spirit! Because this is a family channel, I'll omit the content. However, we were all having a really good time. My "significant other" of the era and I had the Meat Master on the thin crust. Sometimes, a thin crust isn't up to the task of "supporting" the toppings. It was here. I was impressed by the freshness of the toppings. Did you find the Mozzarella particularly robust? I had a feeling that it was from buffalo milk. (Let's just say that asking the origin of the cheese was not among my highest priorities by that point!) One thing missing from your excellent review that I hope you get to try next time around (Which I strongly advocate.) is dessert. The two of us split a Creme Brulee. This was memorable.. As was the whole evening! One suggestion for your opens and closes when the noise level is too high is to turn on the captions. Great review. And, nice to see that quality can stay consistent after almost a decade. TNX for the laughs and God Bless!

      @@vafunseekers That was for a "milestone" birthday. My 60th. And, let's just say that there are things one can't do as easily at that age as they can at 20. And, I'll leave it at that! (Toby Keith had a good song about such...) One thing perhaps worthy of comment in your review would've been the parking. When we went (Late January. Now you know roughly when my birthday is!), we had to park on-street about two blocks away. Not that much of a problem when it was merely cold. But afterwards, it was colder and pouring rain! What had been a nuisance was now misery. We were soaked to the skin by the time we got to the car! Despite having operated "TI1ON/W4", I was shivering. The best line of the party was when our server took our drink orders. After ordering her "sparkling water with a twist of lemon", the waiter told my GF, :"Madam, I'm going to have to card your father." Her, "He's not my father" was a classic reversal of the usual situation! The resulting laughter was the real beginning of the party. The table next to ours had a bachelorette party. And, of course there were the obvious jokes between the two parties! Six months later, we celebrated another "milestone" birthday. Hers. Just the two of us. We stayed closer to "home", L'Auberge Chez Francois. Which birthday? It was her... 30th! And yes, she got carded! Getting old only means the adventures change. Not the adventure itself! Having a quiet weekend. God Bless!

      i guess people should know, so im not just painting with broad strokes... what i heard from 3 people who worked there at different times (different decades even) was that the bread was all pre baked days in advance, and it was policy to brush the mold off, and use the moldy crust anyhow... really wouldnt recomend this place... the we sell slices place up the street is pretty good, and picollas at harrison and main has always been very good. i wouldnt eat at bottoms up tho.
