I visited Pizza Fusion shortly after opening it’s doors down the strip from Trader Joe’s in the Short Pump Station shopping center. It was a pretty busy night and though the seating was sparse, we found a couple of spots at the bar to eat. Generally “eating at the bar” is an unsavory, smoke riddled, [...]

Boychik’s really has a great breakfast menu and given my inability to find a diner style breakfast joint directly in Short Pump thus far, I had to give this place a thumbs up. If you want something closer to homemade and less processed than the franchise places like IHOP, Silver Diner and Cracker Barrel, you [...]

My husband is an avid Mexican food fan, and ever since we moved to Richmond, we have struggled to find authentic Mexican food in or near the Short Pump area. Well, a few months ago, he finally found a small restaurant with some really good, authentic Mexican food- Los Primos Mexican Restaurant. Now, it is [...]

This place has it all. From the moment I drove up and saw the sign “Free Valet Parking” I knew something was different about Kona Grill. It’s exterior had me anticipating its opening. When you walk in, you can’t help but look around in amazement of how beautiful the place is. We’re not talking your [...]

The last few restaurants to arrive in the Glen Allen area have focused their menus on one thing: Burgers. So when I heard about the latest one I wasn’t particularly eager to check it out. But I couldn’t help but be drawn in by the name: That’s BS (Burgers & Sports). The restaurant name alone [...]

I was impressed with their kids meal options and actually think families get a better value here than at California Pizza Kitchen, which has been our standard first choice for family meals. [...]

I checked out The Beach House Bar & Grill in The Shoppes At Innsbrook the other night with a friend. Locally-owned by the same folks who run neighboring sandwich shop The Pita Pit and The Pour House at the Short Pump Crossing shopping center, I came in with high expectations for my meal.

I have been to the Far East Bistro Chinese Restaurant in the Town Center West shopping center at least 5 times now and without fail, they have always provided and served excellent Chinese food and service. The one thing that puzzles me is that it does not seem that Short Pump knows about this restaurant [...]

I know, the phrase “kid-friendly sushi joint” just seems so much like an oxymoron, but if you have kids, this is worth the trip! After watching Anthony Bourdain’s most recent “No Reservations: Tokyo” I had a hankerin’ for sushi. Since we didn’t have a babysitter, we thought we’d go to Sakura, as their close proximity [...]

Vinny’s Italian Grill, located on Lauderdale Drive in the Shops At Wellesley, offers an array of delicious Italian entrees, from gourmet pizza and pasta, to fresh salads and hearty subs.
