Where are the Best Cheap Eats in Richmond, Virginia?
I had seen Dots Back inn on the food channel and had decided to give it a try. I also read the reviews here before going. I decided to hopefully time my visit right to avoid the “smoky” atmosphere other reviewers complained about and I did get lucky. If you make a visit between the lunch and dinner crowds when there are very few people there its not bad at all. There were no smoke problems and the service was quick. Its a small place so even a few smokers in one area can make the entire place smell even with the fans going but luckily we were only one of two couples there and no one was smoking but a few of the actual wait staff and they were smoking right at the front door. I realized this isnt a 5 star restraunt but a little courtesy would go a long way. as for the food it was good.The chips and salsa were great, tasted like they made the salsa homemade, it had a great taste that wasnt to spicy, that meant you could really taste the tomatoe and garlic in it, I loved it. We ordered
Night after night my senses draw me back to the mouth watering delectables served at Carini. I know from past experience that service has been left to be desired but recently they have made important changes. Fresh faces mixed with a few old gives it a familiarity yet a newness. Also, the ability to please husband and wife as well as the kids ( considering the game room ), that doesn’t happen everywhere. Try this deliciously satisfying restaurant, you’ll be glad you did.Pros + ability to hold large parties, satisfy everyone in the familyCons – are there any?
I never thought I would see a burrito that big and everything about the place is fantastic. Enjoyed every single one of their dishes. Don’t like what’s in that taco or burrito, switch it out with something else you want! Chips are still the best I’ve had – ever. Red and green salsas make you want to kick the table next to you to get their jars. Lines out the door on nice summer days but worth the wait 100x over. Decor is very simple – killer map covering an entire wall. Owners are beyond kind and always smiling.
