Helen's

Best atmosphere in the fan since 1935! Cozy vibes, excellent service, and the most delicious food in Richmond. Obviously, this is my humble opinion, but I have lived here many years and have had the chance to taste the best that Richmond has to offer. Helen’s is absolutely one of them. Brunch is also incredible - get the banana pancakes!

I love Helen’s, especially brunch on weekends. Veggie hash is flames, so delish cant go wrong with anything the brunch menu tbh. We had a great server at the bar Riley she was very attentive and nice. Great on a Wedsnesday night also, way more chill than the weekends. One of the best restaurants and bars in rva!

We stumbled in and fell love! The food was excellent! Hot, seasoned, great portions and the curry potatoes! A must! Let me just say crispy edged pancakes! Simply to live for! The recipe is so good not syrup is even needed! Tender and flavorful! The veggie hash, the corn beef hash! When I say everything was soooo good we were left without words! A must try when in the fan district!

Patio vibes @helensrva 7/10 This was a great experience. The roasted brussel sprouts and artichokes were delicious and the handcrafted drinks were excellent. I also enjoyed the muscles though I forgot to get a picture. If you enjoy Seafood they are definitely something to put on the to-do list. Also the service was awesome. Y'all could turn that patio music down just a smidge, cuz my ears had had enough 🤣 😳 but the overall experience was a very nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon in the Museum District of Richmond Virginia. Now that the weather is warming up I sense many more items in my future! Somebody take my debit card now! 🚫 💳

Best Brunch in a LONG time. My family visited on Sunday for brunch (our first time here) and we were blown away with the quality of food, service, and establishment. “Serving brunch since 1935” is the sign out front. Here’s the real review this morning: my 1st grader wants to go there this morning before school to get more “of the best pancakes ever”. (You can’t beat that Monday morning review). I ordered the Veggie Hash (I’m normally a strictly meat/potatoes kind of guy) and was amazed. Curry base made it perfect. My wife ordered the traditional Eggs Benedict - we were very impressed with the fresh quality of their clearly homemade, perfected sauce. (Waitress recommended that I order a side and put it on my hash next time). Kids ordered a la carte sides actually. Pancakes, huge biscuit, and sausages were to die for (they met a high standard since I’m from Wisconsin). Best of all, the coffee was excellent. Too often a popular brunch spot has great food but poor coffee (sorry, I hate First Watch’s coffee and is a huge negative for me). Very smooth, and plenty of refills. They had Shrimp/Grits on the menu, which I rarely order. Next time I’ll ask them to add Shrimp to my Veggie Hash with a side of Hollandaise sauce. I mentioned that to the waitress as we were leaving and she agreed it was a great idea. (If you try it before I do, comment below). Sorry no food pictures, we forgot. Wife didn’t try their Bloody Mary - next time. I’ll update more food pics next time. A few pics here for a great capture of the atmosphere and 1935 style though using iPhone14ProMax. Thanks Helen’s for a great brunch!
