River City Roll in Richmond

Food good, but our table of 9 had a lot of trouble getting the attention of wait staff. There was no "hmm, been a minute, they've probably finished the first round and I should check on those people ordering expensive drinks..." and we had to flag them down throughout the night, to a shocked and surprised reaction that we might need anything. The food runners looked annoyed, not smiling or seeming to want to be there. All of the wait staff appeared to feel this work is beneath them, and they have way cooler things to do. I know hiring is a challenge, so you get what you get, I suppose. Not inclined to return. but maybe just to bowl. Consider duck pins??

Love this place!! Booked a few lanes here the other day. Staff was super sweet and fun, food and drinks were amazing. New favorite drink is the "one night stand." Most importantly, the bowling was super fun! Really nice layout for a group event.

A friend suggested River City Roll for brunch this past Saturday, and fortunately we were able to book a last-minute reservation for the patio right at noon. Upon arrival, my first thought was, "Wow, it's warmer out today than I thought it would be!" ... Before my friend pointed up at the wall to wall heaters wired into the patio roof. Cool concept, especially for frigid days, but we did have to ask for the heat to be lowered a tad. For drinks, one of my friends and I both ordered the frozen concoctions flight. Two weren't done mixing yet, so my friend doubled up on them, and I ordered a vodka limeade as a replacement. As it turned out, all four flavors were made available, so I wasn't charged for the (delicious!) limeade. Very nice of them! The frozen drinks were great (especially blue razz and red sangria), but the limeade was my favorite. As for food, I ordered the briscuit dish, another friend had a burger, and the other ate a breakfast plate. Both of their dishes looked fantastic, but I was happy with my choice. The cheddar biscuit, gravy, and brisket all flowed together nicely. It was pretty busy (being St. Paddy's weekend), but the tables were spaced out enough that it wasn't bad. I enjoyed my time at RCR, and hope to return at some point to check out the bowling alley.
