I tried it for the first time last weekend, crazy delicious

Give it 13 months.

​

Food may be good, location is eh due to parking and lack of foot traffic

Was about to post in the bi-weekly thread and, yes, I was pleasantly surprised with the Buffalo chicken mac.

I get the weirdest vibes off of the owners from their Instagram.

Parking isn’t bad, as they’re sharing the decently-sized lot right next to the building with Starbucks.

I tried it and it was honestly pretty mid. It wasnt bad but definitely left something to be desired.

I think it’ll last. They managed to keep bookbinders open all of Covid. Might have to changes things around/switch things up but I think it’ll be fine

I've had the greek wedding and it's delicious

As it is now (unless they're planning to pop up some outdoor seating in warmer months) it's 100% a to-go place. You are currently unable to sit down and eat there, well you could but you'd be sitting on the curb outside

Seems like a great place to walk to after drinking across the street

Sidenote, has any restaurant in Richmond ever opened on time? It never takes just a few months to order and redesign everything, hire staff, and train them.

They are weird (knew one of their daughters pretty well) but very very kind people.

Saw this and tried their Balboa Mac for lunch with a chicken piece. Mac was good and the chicken piece more so. Worth checking if you're really about some mac and cheese or get hit with a random craving.

Having said that, won't be my new go-to when friends from out of town come through, etc.

they've got roughly 1,200 apartments being developed within walking distance of them, so probably easily 2,200+ new people in the neighborhood. key will be 1) surviving until they are built and 2) converting them against fat dragon or BBB or En Su Boca or all of Scotts Ad.

Very true, I hope they make it. But they could totally exist alongside all of those places.

City hall is notoriously poor at providing necessary documents in a timely manner. It's a major barrier for businesses here.

Jamaican buddy said it was easier to open a business in Jamaica than Richmond, because at least he knew who to bribe and how much.

Well that’s a fun name.

The fiesta is good but my fav is broccoli and mushroom. Haven’t tried them all yet. I think the chicken strips could be better. Next time get the Mac and cheese there and run thru chick fil a and add nuggets!! The desserts are AWESOME!

Yeah I've never once in my life pondered if I want to wait in a line for an hour to pay $70 for BBQ or if I want late night Mac and Cheese. There's demand for more than 3-5 restaurants, particularly casual restaurants, in Scott's Addition.

Hate to admit I wasn’t impressed when I tried it. Got the buffalo mac and it just tasted like cheap hot sauce and and looked like something I could slapped together myself at home. Portion was also a joke for how much they charge. I can think of 5 other restaurants that aren’t Mac & cheese focused at all that still have better Mac and cheese.

Across from Happy Trees.

I worked at bookbinders for a few years. They aren't necessarily bad people, but live in a very privileged bubble. Personally I dislike them but that's my own feelings.

I had a stand right next to them at the Scott's Addition Festival last fall. Friendly people and nice food... but then at the end of the festival, they dumped their water, got lots of my rust-able merch wet, and zero apology.

Had to check out their IG. They seem to have that social media “our ife is perfect” vibe down to a T. And also Eagles fans so that sucks.
