Diner Reviews
  • "We deliberately waited to visit Hondos on a Sunday for their Prime Rib special, only to discover that they were out of Prime Rib. They did their best to right this by offering the Ribeye at the special price, however, when you have your heart set on a particular item, it is very disappointing to be offered a substitute. I requested the Ribeye be cooked medium but it was delivered very rare and had to be returned to the kitchen to be cooked further which messed up the timing of our eating together since my wife had ordered crabcakes that would have been cold had she waited to eat with me. The restaurant did not charge us for the seafood bisque to help offset our disappointing experience. The manager was also very nice and showed concern."

  • "From the valets outside to the hostess, servers and manager, each guest received a high level of attention from the time of arrival to the time of departure. The food was excellent, but when it's that expensive it should be excellent. The calamari and New Orleans barbecue shrimp appetizers were both cooked properly and had great flavor. The calamari was nowhere near as salty as that which we had at a high end seafood restaurant the night before. Everyone had steaks and all were cooked to the proper temperature; the servers asked everyone to cut into their steaks to check them so any problems could be addressed right away. The only negative was that the room was loud; it was difficult to hold a conversation without raising one's voice."

  • "I always look forward to going to Hondo's. The food is so good, service is very attentive, and the setting is nice for one, two, or a group. (I recently dined alone and received excellent service). This is a great place for out-of-towners looking for a great spot to dine."

  • "HONDOS offers by far the best TOTAL dining experience in Richmond -ambiance-food-wine-service....all are consistently tops. The table settings are great, but the booths are an excellent, almost private space. Love the romantic lighting; the music has always been fine jazz, etc. and just the right volume to enjoy the music AND the table conversation. We are looking forward to enjoying a light meal for 2 at the Bar as our next experience, and then the outdoor space this Spring! Hats off to HONDOS entire staff!!"

  • "We have been to Hondos twice. The first experience was absolutely wonderful, everything was exceptional from the food to the service. Unfortunately, our second visit was very disappointing. The steaks that we ordered were burned on the outside and not very tender at all. The potatoes dishes were even bland and not as tasteful as our first visit. I do have to say, that when we talked with the manager he was very understanding and did his best to make everything right."

  • "My wife and I had a great time at Hondo's. This was our second time visiting and both times the food was excellent, the service was perfect and the ambience matched some of the best steakhouses I've ever been to. I would definitely visit Hondo's during my next trip to the Richmond area."

  • "We were looking last minute for a nice dinner out, Open Table got us a reservation within 30 mins. Everyone was very nice & welcoming, greeted us by name. We did ask to change tables due to a cool draft & they were very accommodating. Our server, Trevor was excellent. Attentive but not imposing, genuinely concerned we enjoyed our meal & wine. Steaks were great, good caesar salad, try the crispy fries or au gratin. Food was served promptly but we never felt rushed. Very nice atmosphere. Great special night out or if you want a very good steakhouse. We'll definitely be back."

  • "We had a nice time overall and will return. However, because of the comment below it was not as good/special as it might have been and has been on previous visits. My Cowboy steak was not as tender as I expected. Nonetheless, it was a special occasion and why let things over which you cannot control spoil the evening. I certainly must give our waiter (Shawn) high marks - he was excellent."

  • "If you are willing to spend $54 on a meal, the bone in filet is amazing! Full menu & great appetizers."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "I love the new location. It is much bigger. The food was still delightful. The staff was polite and acknowledged our anniversary. The atmosphere was elegant with the tablecloths, napkins, settings, and decor. I wasn't. Big fan of the clear glass divider. I wish they had both been frosted. My only service complaint was we ordered Mac and cheese and never got it. We didn't pay for it though, so it balanced out. I would still recommend this restaurant for business functions and special occasions."
    Dined on 2/25/2014
  • "Clearly seems that they're sourcing their beef from a lower-quality purveyor. And the kitchen cooked our steaks, obviously, on a flat-top grill, as there were no grill marks, and a distinct lack of smokiness."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "Some friends recommended Hondos in Richmond for our anniversary dinner because they consider me somewhat of a food snob. It was a good pick. It was perfect. Nice ambiance. Great service. My ribeye was a perfect medium rare and delicious. I rated only 4 stars because of the creamed corn which was unnecessarily cheesy and overly greasy, though my husband enjoyed it."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "The food was good, but nothing overly creative; standard white tablecloth dining fare. The visit was marred slightly by the obnoxious group of lawyers sitting at the table next to us. Service was attentive and excellent."
    Dined on 2/24/2014
  • "This was our second trip here. The first was an outstanding Anniversary celebration. This time we took two of our special family members. We had great service and were not bothered by the waiter at all but everything we needed was there before we had time to ask. The Manager visited us and was quite polite. The food was incredible. We all had seafood and it had wonderful presentation. If I had one suggestion it would be to do something special with your bread. It was tasteless. I am sure with the price of dinner entrees you can do something special with a bread basket. It was a bit dark in there and the photos did not come out very well as was the check hard to read at the end. All in all very nice experience but expensive for sure."

    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "Very consistent. Service and food are always A+. The perfect spot for a business lunch when looking for a first class experience in and around the Innsbrook area of Richmond. Very limited parking and this day was an was an issue. The lunch time valet did not show up and had to park about a block away. If you need to talk business , ask for a booth as the tables in the middle of the two dining floors can get very noisy."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "Our dining experience was good but not real good. For a fine dining restaurant, the food was moderate, but not memorable. The service was, again, moderate. For example, when the entree was served, the server failed to notice that our forks had been collected with our appetizer and salad. Again, the meal was ok, but not what we expected."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The restaurant was a perfect place to quietly celebrate an occasion with my family. The food was excellent. The crab cakes was entirely crab, no filler. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered. The best part was that we could catch up and talk without having to talk over others. Our waiter was attentive, without being pushy."

  • "Been to several top notch steak houses all across the U.S. And I can cay I was very disappointed in the food for the price! Way over price and Steaks we had were fatty and greasy! I work for a corporate company and will not be advising my employees or co-workers and going.There are plenty other steak house in the Richmond area that are far better!"

  • "Excellent food, but just not worth the price. Appetizer, steak, dessert..(x2 diners) $150.00..??? incl. tip. The waitstaff attentive and polite, but not a whole lot better than other nice restaurants. Supposed to be "business casual" dress code..but we saw jeans and t-shirts at another table. How was this allowed ? Asked for my steak medium-well. it came to the table med rare. I sent it back, and it reappeared well done, and charred in places. Maybe the return request angered the "chef". Still, my companion ate solo until mine returned...not a good thing. ! Every business has a "flub" now and then, but not what I expect for a pricey night out. Not a horrible experience, actually very nice place, but as was said..not quite worth the price"

  • "First I'd like to say that Hondo's is our go to spot for steak. We had dinner here on a Saturday night. Our waiter was prompt and very cordial, but very nervous. I got the impression that he was new as we had not seen him there before. His service was just okay. Appetizer was the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp which were delicious. I got the boneless ribeye and DW got the bone in filet. Both were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. My accompanying sweet potatoe was luckluster. It was not done all the way and was sitting in a pool of cinnamon butter. Presentation could have been much better on this. My Hearts of Iceberg salad was good and the blue cheese dressing was flavorful. It would have been much better with some bacon crumbles."

  • "This was our first time for brunch at Hondo's since their relocation. We were delighted with the experience. Food, service and everything was outstanding. The ambience was pleasant including appropriate music for dining--a rarity these days! We will most likely be back next Sunday. It is wonderful to know that something this good is only ten minutes from our home."

  • "I went there for my girlfriends bday. And they catered to every request I made. From the table selection, rose on the plate before we arrived, opened our champagne on cue, and brought out her surprise bday cake with out asking. Our waiter was very helpful with any questions and food questions we had. Would definitely go there again."
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "My husband and I decided to celebrate my birthday at Hondos, a restaurant our son had recommended to us. The birthday deal (2 for 1) was appealing, but the glowing praise from others convinced us to try this new (to us) restaurant. We couldn't have been happier with the service or the food. We both chose seafood entrees and were delighted with the presentation and taste. The crab cake was made with lump crab meat and very little, if any, filler. Our waiter, Chip, was pleasant and attentive but not intrusive. The only problem we had was that the espresso was served in a regular coffee cup, and it was rather lukewarm."

  • "The service provided by Jon was excellent and the food was great. We were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal. We will always recommend Hondo's to friends."
