Reviews for Alamo BBQ in Richmond, VA
Good brisket sandwich! Light and fluffy cornbread was really good! Collard greens were excellent, I didn?t get any bacon or... pork flavor, just the natural taste of the greens with a touch of vinegar. The Mac and cheese had excellent texture, but alittle shy on flavor, but nothing a pinch of salt and pepper wouldn?t fix. Overall very good! Read more
Food was really good. Brisket sandwich & rack of ribs, jalapeño mac&cheese, coleslaw, cornbread ? all worth it. Love that they... allow dogs outside; our pup was a happy gal. Read more
I had one of the best bbq brisket sandwiches that I have Ever had in my Life. The Cowboy beans and cornbread with real corn in... it was Delicious. I will be driving from Newport News to Richmond VA just to get another one of these meals. Great job guys. Read more
There used to three things I could count on in Richmond, death, taxes and Alamo BBQ. I am sad to say my last experience at Alamo... may have been the last. Me and my wife walked up to place our order and the menu was missing a few items. We still asked forwhat we usually get and the guy behind the register said it was no problem. With it being hot, I usually order a beer to drinkwhile I wait. Yep, no more beer while you wait. So we get our order and head home. At the house we soon realize that ourportions were so small it was ridiculous. The grilled fish was about two bites, far from the 2 whole pieces I usually get. Thechicken looked as if they took a piece of roasted chicken, chunked it up and dropped in the container. No evidence of beingsmoked at all....white chicken with pepper sprinkled on it. I had a sausage link buried under a pile of pickles and whiteonions. The only thing that was still good was the cole slaw. I get it, inflation, hard to find employees etc., but man this isdefinitely not the Alamo I remember. We paid $37.00 for two platters that basically added up to 1 platter. I'll take my hardearned money elsewhere. Read more
From a Chef point of view MY CUBAN ( HOUSE SPEC VERSION OF COURSE) SLAMMING , I will be getting food there again for sure.... ???????????????????????????????????????? Devoured my Chicken Cuban. Didn't even get a picture . Read more
Great dog friendly place to eat! Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. Atmosphere was very hipster chic, but... cutely done. Be aware all seating is outdoor. Unlike many who boast "Texas BBQ" this place actually delivers. The brisket wasjuicy, and the sausage was amazing. For the sides: Mac n cheese is great, it has a subtle heat from the jalapeno. Collardgreens are a good way to add some veggies. Nothing amazing, but I never think they are. So I'm a bad judge. The candied yams arealso amazing. Read more
This is a hometown favorite! You can?t go wrong with the Texas style Philly cheesesteak which is sweet and spicy. And the fully... loaded quesadillas with ur choice of protein. Pair it with the homemade Limeade to quench your thirst! Read more
They say this is Texas BBQ. I am from Houston and I can tell you this is not Texas BBQ. The meat was passable. The sauce was... thin and just as sweet as it was trying to be spicy, but it did neither well. The mac and cheese was overcooked and still,somehow, had a texture to the cheese like a thickener hadn't completely blended. And they didn't allow exceptions, so if youwanted something left off, which is saving them money, it was refused. Read more
