Default Restaurants of Richmond and suburbia

Make a list of great Restaurants of Richmond. I have had a few people tell me about a few good places and I am sure others may have gone places that great that others may not have heard of.

Example:

Double T's BBQ
Cary Street Across from the Byrd Theatre.
BBQ, RIBS and other sandwiches.

3rd street diner
3rd and main
open 24 hrs a day, perfect for some food after coming back from shockoe at 3am.

capital ale house. can't say much for the food, since it's not the focus of the place, but beer selection is good.

i just ate there yesterday. my boss took my office out for lunch. of course, it's nothing really special to me, but i guess it's pretty good.

the only other korean restaurant in richmond is 88 garden on 6135 Midlothian Turnpike. the interior was recently remodeled and it's pretty swanky. food is pretty good, too.

my parents eat at both locations rather often (they work late and mom is too lazy to make dinner) and are friends with the owners. my dad and his buddies often go there to talk business, eat and drink, and whatever else after playing a round of golf. korean old boys, i guess.
