Wanna know where Richmond’s culinary crown jewel is hiding? It’s tucked right into Church Hill, y’all—one of the oldest (and prettiest!) neighborhoods in the city at  623 N 25th St, Richmond, VA 23223. The Roosevelt is that spot—a Southern food haven that slaps with flavor, history, and style. 

We're talking biscuits that melt in your mouth, fried catfish that makes you question life decisions, and cocktails so smooth you’ll wonder if you’re sipping on Southern hospitality itself. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a whole vibe.

🥩 What’s the Deal with The Roosevelt?

This ain’t your typical Southern joint. The Roosevelt takes classic dishes from Grandma’s recipe book and flips ‘em into modern masterpieces that scream elegant comfort food. Think:

• Tender beef short rib over cheesy grits
  

• 🍗 Buttermilk fried chicken with hot honey
  

• 🐟 Blackened catfish with red pea hopping john
  

• Local veggie plates for the plant-based babes

And y’all, don’t skip the biscuits. Flaky, buttery, and served warm—they might just make you cry happy tears.

💡 Fun fact: The Roosevelt has scooped up some serious recognition, including a James Beard nod and countless “best-of” lists. Locals love it, foodies travel for it, and chefs admire it.
