Richard's Cafe

Wow, what a disappointment!!

by C206Flyer at Citysearch

Features live entertainment like many area restaurants. The food is supposed to be cajun, but it's fake and of poor quality. The red beans and rice dish was made with Pinto beans (calm down Emeril), the gumbo was the worst I have tasted (it was so bad, that is all I did) and the shrimp (farm raised) were tasteless. Average appetisers. Limited but decent beer selection (bottles only). The worst thing was the temperature in the restaurant. Despite multiple requests, the management kept the whole restaurant freezing. I had to keep my coat on the whole time and all were uncomfortable during the meal. Would not return with all the other good choices in the Nashville area.

• Pros: Good music (Combine Chiefs)
• Cons: Food, service, environment

terrible service *!*#!!

Man, it takes forever to get a meal at Richard's Cafe. It seems the employees are more interested in their social lives than service. The management is poor, and the food comes out about an hour after you order if it's a good night. I've been twice and it's been a complete waste of my time. I think they have the music there so the other tables of people waiting for food can't hear you complain. Stay away unless you have all night to wait for a po' boy.

I had to give it one star, there aren't any lower ratings available.

• Pros: the roof didn't leak when i was there
• Cons: food and service

Service has gotten MUCH better!

I fully acknowledge what one reviewer wrote here: The service used to be extremely slow. But on our last three visits to Ri'chard's, I'm happy to report it is now MUCH faster. In fact, it isn't even an issue at all. So go to Ri'chard's for great food and music!
