Goochland Restaurant

For the past few years, I have been meaning to try this restaurant. I never had the time until this morning. I was looking forward to breakfast here. The restaurant is a small place with local character. I ordered the combo plate of medium cooked eggs, bacon, and a biscuit, along with coffee for 7.95. The coffee was good and there was ample half and half on the table. The food came out quick. It looked bad on the plate. The eggs were overcooked on the outside and too runny on the inside. The biscuit had burnt spots on top and tasted like margarine. The bacon was awful. It looked bad. I tasted it and spit it out. It tasted old. It was inedible. I sent the bacon and eggs back. I got the scrambled eggs and ham. Both were edible though they both could have been so much better. I was really disappointed in the quality of cooking here and the high price I paid for the meal. I waited for a coffee refill and the waitress did not notice. I finally brought my cup up to the counter. First meal that I sent back: 1 star, replacement meal: 2 star. Service 2
Stars. Ambiance: 3 star. I am wondering about most of the other reviews here on Unilocal except one obvious legit one. The others may be fake as they folks have no friends and exactly 4 other review each at the time of my write up. Wish I noticed this before coming here!

Great food and service! Play the lottery on your way out and get cheapest gas in central va across the street.
Breakfast is excellent for weekend mornings.
Blueberry pancakes and biscuits are outstanding.
I find the service to be very good considering there are usually just a few folks there working. I believe it is well worth the wait if crowded.
Very clean inside and in bathrooms

Waited a bit, but when the restaurant is full… That’s gonna happen when there is only 2 employees.
Had the burger with the ham, thought it was great, but I am also on a diet and this was my splurge meal.
Will recommend, will return.

Leaving Richmond, VA for the mountains of TN, I was a little excited about visiting this place for breakfast on the way out and wasn’t impressed. Service wasn’t friendly and not the typical, ‘hey I’m not here to smile at your ass’ attitude but instead a real indifference as if we were truly annoying them with our visit. Prices seemed high too for such a place. My breakfast wasn’t very good, grits were meh and the coffee was subpar. Maybe I had my expectations set too high… but it’s not that hard to serve a good breakfast.

Best sausage biscuits in Virginia… served by the nicest waitress…“down-home” cooking and clientele .a must when we visit our «kids» in Maidens. It is the only place our grandson Preston will eat! Don’t miss it,
