The moment we walked in, we knew we were in the perfect spot. The decor was happy and welcoming and done so well (I’m jealous I don’t have this decorating skill)
We were instantly met with smiles and greetings and we were immediately seated in a cozy spot near the kitchen where we happily watched the crew through the window. Most of the tables were full by the time we left (12:30) but it wasn’t too loud, which we welcomed because one of us has noise sensory issues. The server, Jay, was amazing and he made a fantastic Lavender Lemonade, but a virgin one. He said he’s not made a virgin one before and let me tell you… it ROCKED! I greatly appreciate his efforts because we fought over who got to drink it. The drink menu was fun to read through and super original.
The food options were plenty and the fact that they had turkey bacon and sausage options really made my day. They cut their own bacon in house too! THIS place is locally owned which is bonus for us.
We can’t wait to come back!
The Benedict has a delightfully fun and unique menu with Southern inspired dishes and a quirky drink menu. The staff have great personalities and are very pleasant. There is plenty of dining space with sections for various group size and also a bar and outdoor dining on their side patio.
Our waitress Erin was delightful. She let us know that they slice their own bacon and it is cut thick. I tried the salmon cakes with a side of cheese eggs and fried potatoes. I was pleased; however next time I visit I’ll skip on the potatoes.and try another side item. My partner built her own breakfast which was also plated wonderfully and was very tasty (her words).
I would definitely recommend this restaurant as it is the type of vibe that says good morning or let’s do brunch.

(I only marked $20-$30 per person, because that’s about what we spent, but we did get 2 specialty mimosas, and you have to consider tax. We were also on a time crunch, so I did use the parking garage to park.. I didn’t want to ride around looking and waste time. I did not include that in my cost to eat here.)
Service: there was a wait so we took the bar. The food took a while to come out
Ambiance: very cute for content creators, decor for the season.
Concept. We sat at out table to menus on the table. The menus were dirty, if you’re going to reuse these types of menus at least get them laminated down you can easily clean them. Our waitress didn’t have much of a personality. She took out orders. We didn’t wait long for our food. After receiving our food, my mom discovered her eggs were hard after I was very specific in advising to scramble them soft with pepper. I ordered the shrimp lobster and grits bowl. I would give it a 8 . The reason for the 8 was the lobster was not good . Slightly overcooked and really no flavor.. My mom and brother ordered the Big Ben which Consisted of French toast top with fruit , 2eggs. and you have choice of bacon or sage. Besides the issue with the eggs, my mom and brother enjoyed their meal. The waitress was not attentive to our needs. I told her prior to ordering, I needed a to place an order to go.She never came back to take my order. We saw her twice the hour and half we dined,. Also we asked another server about getting a bowl of grits. She asked us to wait while she checked on that but never returned. The overall experience including the meal was a 7. I was disappointed because the video depicted a whole vibe and good food.
I ordered the “Bayou Benedict”, one of the signature dishes. Two biscuits topped with a fried catfish filet, two poached eggs, Creole sauce, and a chopped parsley garnish.
The Bayou Benedict is one of the three best breakfast dishes I have ever had in nine years of living Richmond. The biscuits were the right balance of doughy and flaky. The catfish was perfectly breaded and salted. The poached eggs were spot-on. And the Creole sauce took me back to memories of my favorite meals in New Orleans.
As perfect as each of the individual parts were, the assembled whole was a sublime masterpiece.
I am so excited to have a restaurant like The Benedict just around the corner from my office so I can sneak in a nice 35 minute brunch before work.
If you find yourself downtown in the Shockoe area, you would do well to “treat yourself”.
It’s worth it.
More importantly, so are you.
The whole vibe is bright and welcoming, but listen…the menu is stacked with lots of delicious options but in the spirit of not over doing it lol I settled on a classic.
Star number one: BYO breakfast sandwich with the most incredible thick-cut bacon. So good. The biscuit on this sandwich was so buttery and fluffy, it practically melted in my mouth. The Monte Cristo was different but tasty. We had fried potatoes as a side but they were more like scalloped potatoes and not my favorite.
And star number two? The vanilla espresso martini. It is the perfect brunch cocktail. If you get two things, get those.
Great service and definitely worth adding to your brunch list!
Go check them out y’all!
