Delicious! Perfect, enjoyable mid afternoon lunch. Great food, excellent service, immaculate restaurant. My colleague and I were visiting Richmond, staying at a nearby hotel. She and I were enjoying a beautiful afternoon walk down historic Broad Street when we discovered Tarrant's. It looked like a fun place and the menu posted outside was intriguing, so we decided to have lunch. Luckily, it was an excellent decision! Tarrant's is located directly on beautiful, tree lined Broad Street in a beautiful Richmond neighborhood. The restaurant space itself is the old Tarrant's Drug Company. Immediately upon entering the dining area you can see some really cool historic signs and fixtures from the drug store/pharmacy days. My colleague and I were Immediately seated and received prompt, friendly service from our excellent server. The menu includes a huge, diverse selection of possibilities and libations. Burgers, wraps, salads, desserts and entrée meals, plus much more is available. If you're in the mood for an adult libation, Tarrant's has a full service bar. There are so many interesting items on the menu, my colleague and I had a really difficult time making a decision on what to order. After much debate, I ordered the Cheeseburger and fries( yummy burger!!) My colleague had the Buffalo chicken wrap (my second choice) and she loved it! Fortunately, she allowed me to try her wrap and, I totally agree, it was excellent! Most certainly, on my next visit, I will order the wrap!! My third choice was the fried green tomato sandwich, which was very intriguing. At some point, on a future visit, I plan on trying the fried green tomatoes sandwich, too. If you happen to find yourself near Tarrant's, you should really stop in and treat yourself. With the large menu, there is most certainly something for everyone to enjoy. Tarrant's provides a very pleasant, relaxing, low-key atmosphere with excellent service!!

Another round of °•LapTop HoPpiN•° I wanted my Latte ofcourse and because I cleaned a client's house near downtown today and my kids are off N away for the night with there dad, I did my random Google of "study places near me that serve coffee and open late". So cool..so cool...[CheeziN Inside like a Father kid loves Twinkies] <~ my face? Dead flat expression... Don't let it fool you... I parked my car a 10 min walk away, paid the 1.25 for letting my car just sit there 🤔 , called my Archeological mentor to get there updates on my walk, and WALLAH! this place is AWESOME! and did you know prior to being this hip Vibe spot, it was a Soda, Drugs, Tobacco store? So I get to sit on history while studying more history! I ordered a Latte and it was perfect! The place is a nice size, so don't feel like you gotta be that Sardine feeling packed beyond pleasure. Only feel some type of way bc I wish my Fiance'was here with me right now. I was already near downtown and home was a bit oppositely further... Love that man!! 💖💖 Before I finish boring you with my long review, I totally gotta swipe-text this; my waitress said they have a Historical book on the property of when it use to be a pharmacy. "Everyone that comes into this place is SO LIKE!! OMG! I would look at this History book for A LOOONG time!" Verbatimally spoken by my waitress.. Much ❤️, Nichole at SoulFunds

One of my favorites in Richmond! The service is generally great, the wait times aren't too bad, and it's a great place for a date. There is a full service bar too with great cocktails to be had. It's in a great location downtown. Definitely a great place to eat on a First Friday as you can check out the art after you eat or before, whichever suits you best. If you've never been the Pizza is absolutely a must have. I recently ordered delivery through a service and had the Asian Chicken Salad (with teriyaki chicken, water chesnuts, mandarin oranges, wonton noodles, cucumber & tomato over mixed greens dressed with sesame ginger vinaigrette), Curry Squash Soup, and a side of garlic bread. DEEEE-LISH! Other items that are must-haves: Fried Chicken and Waffles Blackened Tuna Deluxe Pizza Meat Lovers Calzone Fish Tacos Burger w/Bacon and Cheese BLT Wash it down with a nice Old Fashioned and you'll be set! Sit at the bar and you'll be privy to some great stories from the patrons beside you as some interesting characters make their way into the place.
