So you got the number of that cute person in your class, at that club meeting, or admittedly (let’s face it) from Tinder. But now they want to meet, and you probably said “let’s get food!” But you can’t take them to Shafer or Panda Express, because you’re almost an adult, or at least you’re going to pretend to be. So where can you take them around campus, that’s cheap (you’re in college), has a good atmosphere and is most of all, delicious. Here are seven places to get that date off to a great start.
#1 Village Cafe
1001 W Grace St, Richmond, VA 23220
#2 The Black Sheep
901 W Marshall St, Richmond, VA 23220
If you have not been to the Black Sheep, you are already doing something wrong. This small, but well decorated dining room is a great place to get know your date and the absolutely huge sandwiches they have on the menu. Choose from the USS Lafayette (Spiced shrimp, artichokes), the USS Sultana (Grilled lamb, romaine, Russian dressing) or the delicious vegetarian USS Wyoming (grilled tofu, cilantro, eggplant). The Black Sheep also has a full list of entrees, but lets face it why are you passing it up larger than life sandwiches?
#3 Deep Run Roadhouse
309 N Laurel St, Richmond, VA 23220
I know what you’re thinking, bbq sauce, ribs, and moist towelettes. Why would I want my date to see me pile up the table with napkins, trying not to make a mess? Because Deep Run Road Roadhouse has some of the best Bbq in the city, and you can tell alot about someone by which type of delicious homemade bbq they slather on their entrees. You cannot go wrong with the Rope Sausage, Fried Catfish, Pulled Chicken, and Smoked Wings. But do not neglect the sides, Texas Cavier( black bean, corn salad), Sweet, potatoes, or a slice of cornbread slathered with too delicious honey butter could be eaten by themselves.Warning: if your person of interest is a vegetarian, you should probably keep scrolling.
#4 Elephant Thai
1100 W Cary St
#5 821 Cafe
825 W Cary St, Richmond, VA 23220
#6 Foo Dog
1537 W Main St
#7 Kuba Kuba
1601 Park Ave
So now if you ever find yourself with that “Where you wanna go?” text on your phone relax, you know exactly where to bring them. Now all you have to do is keep eye contact , not talk about yourself too much and hope they like the food.
