Dilar Restaurant

Ok at the end of a long day, my mother and I were hungry so I had found a restaurant in Richmond called "The Depot" but when we got there it was closed and "Dilar" restaurant was right next door. It didn't look like much but in my travel experience these are usually the best places to eat in town. Asked someone that came out what she thought and she loved the place.Went in and had such a great dinner and dessert.I had beef ravioli with salad. My mom had their hit turkey sandwich. For dessert we split a Lemon Meringue and Cherry pies. Home made and so darn tasty.The inside was clean and family friendly. The waitress was so pleasant and kind. The locals were so friendly, sociable, and pleasant.Glad we stopped and took the chance. Sorry didn't take any pictures. But let me tell you, it was a great place to eat.

Top notch breakfast lunch and dinner. You must try their chicken it is the best. It's a hidden gem.

Service was great. Hamburger and fries were amazing. So was onion soup. Highly recommend

Always great food. Not a fancy high end place . Typical diner food done right. Cream of chicken and rice every other Saturday is my favorite. No frills here . Just nice people and good food at a decent price.

I just had to write about this unassuming Gem of Richmond. This is an all-around great restaurant, family friendly, great service, and of course, great home-cooked food!! We usually have the roasted chicken with French onion soup. It's soooo good!!The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. If you are in the area, you will not regret visiting these fine people and enjoying the wonderful food.

I've lived in small towns for awhile, and little diners are usually the best places to go. Both inside and out looked recently done, yet still had the feel of a mom and pop type joint. I went inside unsure of whether I would be seated or it was self seating, as there was no sign or host stand. So I waited patiently for one of the two waitresses to assist me which was within a minute or two. After being sat, it was another several minutes before I was greeted and had my drink order taken, and by that time I was ready to place my full order. My drinks stayed fairly full, and the waitress checked on me just enough, as I didn't really want to be bothered a whole lot during my dinner. My first appetizer was the cup of chili with cheese that came with my entree. Now while I think I may just be overly selective on my chili, I felt this one made sense for midwestern food as it almost had a sweet flavor in with the spices. It was hearty, and I could appreciate that for sure. Shortly after the chili, my onion rings with ranch arrived. The cup displayed the letter "k" on the lid and I'm still trying to figure out what it means. The onion rings were battered, came out super hot (as did everything else), and a generous portion. I decided to get creative and use the chili as a dip, solid idea, highly recommend. Last came the broccoli and shells entree, which had a garlic olive oil sauce with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and I felt chicken would be a solid addition to the meal. The chicken had good texture, the broccoli and noodles were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delightful. The piece of Texas toast that accompanied it was just the right amount of crispy, although there wasn't enough sauce to dip the bread. Thankfully, it was garlic bread so I enjoyed it nonetheless. I look forward to visiting again soon and being able to make this a regular spot for my family.

Love this maw and paw diner! Passed through Richmond and had the best biscuits and gravy with links I've ever had. And the misses got a chicken bacon sandwich, and loved it! And staff was very good!!

Duhhh....Definately will not return,,, and cannot recommend... Good Luck.... Depot next door was a Gem... but now closed...???....

I wasn't certain about the place as the exterior looked questionable. However once inside I was surprised as it was very clean and bigger than it looked from the front. The food was very good. Thumbs up

We will likely try again but just missed today on our first try. Admittedly were tight on time frame so we're not able to be as patient as normal. 4 or 5 tables that sat after us had orders taken before us, then we decided to cut our losses when a table that sat after us got food and we hadn't been able to get our order placed yet. A bit disorganized or simply missed.
