Best Dinner Places to Eat in Short Pump

"Located in a turn-of-the-century building in Richmond’s oldest neighborhood, The Roosevelt is an award-winning restaurant run by Chef Lee Gregory, whose untraditional menu celebrates the food of the South. The Roosevelt opened in 2011 to public and has been serving favorites like the Southern poutine and lamb sausage, the roasted catfish served with rice grits, and the peanut butter pie with whipped cream. The famous bar boasts an all-Virginia wine list, regional beers and an array of signature cocktails that will leave you wanting more."

"821 Café is popular among VCU students and RVA dwellers, and for good reason. Their menu has every type of food imaginable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is no shortage of vegetarian and vegan options to cater to the high amount of meatless Richmond clientele. If you’re having trouble choosing an item, pick the Nutella-stuffed French toast with bananas."

"If you’re starting your day at Millie’s Diner, consider one of the signature messes. These three-egg, open-faced omelettes are topped with everything from andouille sausage and crawfish to spicy Italian sausage with a crown of melted cheddar. You don’t want to visit the South without enjoying the shrimp and grits, and Millie’s is one of the best places in Richmond for this classic Southern dish."
