Best American Restaurants in Richmond
One American spot clears our bar in Richmond. It's Damn Good, and it's got a Beard nod to back it up.
The Roosevelt in Church Hill is the only American kitchen in the city holding a Damn Good rating, and it's doing it as a James Beard Semifinalist 2026 at $$ prices. That's a thin list, not a weak one — one spot, fully vetted, worth the trip. Richmond's American scene has room to grow; for now, this is the one to know.
