Hatch Kitchen RVA — Restaurant in Richmond

Awful place to start or even continue your business. With extremely high turnover that hatch equates to members successfully growing/moving on, when in reality these Alumni are just trying to get far away from this terrible company. Hatch has been the end of the road for numerous startups it’s almost painful walking in and looking at all the shuttered food business that have left their tags on empty metro racks. Ask any of the alumni that they’ve supposedly helped move on did hatch (a company that is under the extensive Lynx ventures portfolio) did they actually offer any help in the process of finding/vetting commercial real estate properties and agents? The Lease they make you sign is so in favor of them my lawyer told me that it was not worth trying to fight it in court, even though they evicted me by email at 3pm on a Friday evening while I was in the middle of an event and changed the locks the same night which i previously thought to be illegal according to the lease they provide even though immoral it actually is what you agree too. They towed my food truck off of the property that Monday while I was working on acquiring a lawyer costing me over $900 for the lawyer, $750 for the tow and over $1000 in spoiled food that I told them about before they decided to have my food truck towed off of the property as I was booked for events the entire weekend and week with other hatch members and had no way of finding another place to park my truck before Monday morning at 11am, I tried to explain to them that I have to find somewhere else to park my truck and there was absolutely no way to find another commissary and or another place with sufficient space to power my truck on a weekend when the offices of all the commissary kitchens offices including hatches were closed. Once Austin and Ryan left this place became a shell of its former self, they’ve poured millions of taxpayer subsidized dollars into a failed food hall that member restaurants didn’t even know was closing until the news released the information. Stay far far away if you’re actually trying to hatch and not just get kicked...

I went here to pick up an UberEats order. The place is hard to find. There aren’t any signs for the place to let you know where it is. It’s in a warehouse building and they won’t even let you inside the building. Apparently it’s a “virtual” restaurant. There are signs on the door that say call a certain number to pick up your order. I called the number about 3 times and no one answers. About 5 minutes later, the guy that works there brings out the food. I asked if their phone works and he says they don’t have a phone, it goes to the operator. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m like then why say call this number if it doesn’t work?? 🤔 They need a better system that what they have if they want people to purchase from their company. It’s not worth the stress! It’s too much. The company is Mr....

Fat Kid Sandwiches is fantastic! Saw their FB post yesterday. The pre-order didn't work on their site, but today I ordered while they are open, AND WOW! The Italian is exactly as pictured on FB and their site. They followed every single preparation instruction to a 'T'!!GrubHub didnt make it too painful to deliver either. Super yummy and lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options throughout the menu too!! RVA you're gonna love Fat Kid...
