Little Sheba's

Yelp is wrong they're open till 9 on Saturdays!This is gradually becoming my favorite place to eat in Richmond.The menu isn't flashy but everything I've eaten there is SOLID. Service is good. The atmosphere is simple but good. Restaurant is clean. I recommend ordering from the specials, and the potato salad is always a good choice.

Glad we finally took a chance on Little Sheba's. Yelp has it misclassified (at this writing) as "Pizza, Sports Bars" which really didn't grab me...I hope they will take my advice and find a better way to describe this tavern/restaurant. It's a classy establishment - located in an old, old building with interior exposed brick and a high tin ceiling, big front windows letting in plenty of natural light. It's divided into two long narrow dining rooms, a barroom, another dining/party room, plus a covered outdoor dining patio. Wow! I noticed how attentive the staff was overall. Our waiter was John, who appeared seconds after we were seated to get drink order, gave us the perfect amount of time to peruse the menu, and checked on our satisfaction with the food soon after we dug in. He and the other waitstaff were in constant motion through both the indoor and outdoor seating area. If customers appeared to be waiting (there were several pickups while we were there), staff members would always ask them "Have you been helped?" as they passed by. The busy staff were all smiling and cheerful and seemed happy to be of service.The menu is centered on quality sandwiches, plus soups, salads, specialty apps and a few designer pizza options. They have a separate children's menu. And, specials every day including some more serious entree choices. It was St. Patrick's Day so we were feeling corned beef and got the Reuben. Excellent! Piled high with thin sliced corned beef and plenty of tangy kraut. I think the thousand island dressing must have been homemade, and served on thick soft brown rye bread. We were both quite pleased with it, as well as the creamy potato salad side. After eating we checked out the barroom which looked pretty classic including some funky decor. Unfortunately the seating was only backless stools which does not conduce to lingering there. I saw some old photos here on Yelp and I definitely saw better bar seating. So, not sure what happened but that was not a change for the better. I was also disappointed to see mean signs forbidding smoking in the outdoor patio. I mean, it's outdoors for Pete's sake. I was very pleased, however, with the complete absence of television sets. I think there was one small one in the bar. Will be back for sure.

Perhaps it was the unintended consequences of my search terms that landed me a Little Shebas. I generally limit my searches to "must eat." It's a bit outdated, but it helps to narrow down the choices when Instagram can't come through. Menu seemed straightforward, bar fare...sandwiches & sides. I got the "pasta salad." I was expecting something with rotini, but again foiled by my expectations. It was cold spaghetti. All in all, solid, not sure if it's must eat if you're traveling through Richmond, IN.

I was going to go to a new restaurant this particular day, but all the parking spaces were full! Since I haven't been to Little Sheba's in over a year, I decided to come back here. I ordered the Rascal's Grilled Cheese, Kettle Chips, and a Coke Zero. The food was delicious! It was just as delicious as it was before. The service was very good and friendly. Being a local restaurant, it was well taken care of and does everything to get people to come in. They have an area for outside seating, but the weather was not warm enough to have people seated outside. I probably will try to go back more often, hopefully soon.

Good service. Pleasant atmosphere especially when you sit outside. The pared down the menu and no longer have a small burger I previously ordered. Good soups and generous salads.

Absolutely Delicious!! The people are really pleasant and it was spacious for seating. And very affordable.

We stopped for lunch and are on the patio. Very nice atmosphere, but unfortunately close to the dog food factory Husband got the John boy and potato salad. I had the dirty rotten scoundrel and pasta salad. Everything was excellent

Great food great service. Fun atmosphere. In the old Town area. My husband had the johnboy . He said it was delicious. The potatoe salad not themat great. The chocolate cherry brownie was really just chocolate cake. Not really a brownie and just had a couple cherries on top maybe one in batter. Thought it would have more cherry taste.

Great restaurant! One of our favorites in Richmond. Food is always great. Good selection of food with specials. Service is friendly and fast. Ambiance is true to the origins of the building and area - including the antique wood walk in cooler.Definitely would recommend when visiting downtown Richmond!

Not that good. Just ok. Pasta salad is weird not appealing and didn't taste good. Quesidilla was good
