🍴 【Richmond VA Eats】Lillie Pearl – A Southern Kitchen with Soul

Tucked in downtown Richmond, Lillie Pearl is a Southern-inspired restaurant that blends tradition with creative twists. We tried their fried beef egg roll (stuffed with gooey cheese – so different from NYC-style rolls!) and the braised lamb shank – fall-off-the-bone tender with a spicy, savory glaze. Both dishes were packed with flavor and left us completely satisfied. 🥟 Dishes That Shined: ✅ Fried Beef Egg Roll – Crispy outside, cheesy and savory inside — a delicious Southern take on a classic. ✅ Braised Lamb Shank – Slow-cooked until tender, served with a bold, spicy sauce that complements the richness perfectly. ✅ Southern Vibe – Cozy yet stylish atmosphere with friendly service and thoughtful presentation. 💡 Why It’s Worth a Visit: Creative Comfort Food – Familiar Southern flavors presented in unexpected, delicious ways. Great for Sharing – Perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends or a cozy date night. Locally Loved – A popular pick among Richmond foodies for its consistent quality and charm. 📍 Location: Downtown Richmond, VA (check exact address online). ⏰ Tips: Reservations recommended on weekends — it’s a popular spot! #LilliePearl #RichmondVA #SouthernFood #ComfortFood #FoodieFinds #VirginiaEats
