Salmon Cake Breakfast review by Ross
We just ate there this weekend (9/27/26) as a large party early in the day. OMG! That salmon cake! Those grits! The eggs! I'm not a big fried eggs eater with the crispy whites, but those were amazing! Also got a side of breakfast potatoes and I KNOW my grandfather is rolling in his grave; you make them sooo perfect! Better than his! Wife and I would both choke a b—-for that sweet cherry cornbread! Service was top-notch in spite of the Karen-ness of some party members. Thank you so much!

Eggleston's Fried Fish Boat review by Sable23220
I have been a fan of Croaker's Spot since I was a little girl. It was called Eggleston's before and it was on Leigh Street at the time. The flavor of the food and quality has not changed at all. I'm not gone lie, I still try to bribe some of the employees to let me get that secret sauce recipe for the peppers and onions..lol!! That stuff is good!!! I'm going to get someone to break! Lol!! But seriously, the fish is fried to perfection, and they arent those small fish stick looking fish. It is full of meat and barely if any bones in it at all. And the cornbread and potatoes...lawd have mercy!! Guys, you will not be disappointed. I am 49 years old and everytime I get Croaker Spot, it brings back my childhood and the memories of having Croaker Spot for the 1st time.
Southern Sauteed Chicken review by La Terika
Tender, juicy chicken sautéed with onions and peppers and gravy full of flavor. Sides were delicious , AND THE CORNBREAD 5 Stars alone.
The Ultimate Feast review by Colbert
My friend and I were coming from Lynchburg and looking for a new pre-concert spot to enjoy a meal. When I saw the words "seafood" and "soul food" used to describe this place, I was very hopeful and set my expectations pretty high. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by Jamela who assured us that we made the right decision coming there and that she was going to take great care of us. I had done a little research and thought the ultimate feast might be the best plan of attack for me and my friend to share. It's easy to be skeptical of a shared dish and whether it will fill you up, but oh my, trust me when I tell you in retrospect I should've known better than to question that. The moment we walked in we could tell this place was the real deal. Authentic to its core and everything made from scratch. Nothing over the top to try to impress anyone. You just knew they would take care of you and the food would speak for itself. The crab cakes, scallops, shrimp, and catfish were all phenomenal. I'm usually weird and will try to save my favorite for last but I genuinely just went around the massive platter equally. My friend and I shared the red potatoes and mac and cheese sides while he had collard greens and I went with cabbage. Once again all just ridiculously good. Don't even get me started on the cornbread. Sadly, we left a few very small bites behind but trust me when I tell you I felt like we were committing a crime in doing so. There was simply zero real estate left in our stomachs and we were headed to a concert so leftovers tragically were not an option. Not to be forgotten, the beverages were also top notch. My friend very much enjoyed his margarita and I went with the house-made strawberry lemonade per Jamela's recommendation and had absolutely zero regrets. The only thing I wish we had done differently was find this place sooner. This was our fourth trip to Richmond in less than a three month span and sadly the last one for this concert season. To say we will be back at some point is an understatement like no other. If you like being somewhere that will have you saying to yourself "there is nowhere else I would rather be eating right now" then this is the place for you! Much love and appreciation for Jamela!!!
Fish & Grits review by Star
First time going to Croakers Spot and I was highly disappointed. The fish was fried nicely but it had no seasoning at all, the grits were nasty I would have rather grits with cheese with salt, pepper and butter the ranch seasoning was nasty. The cornbread was sitting on a piece of lettuces which made the bottom soggy. Also the salmon cake had no seasoning and it was small which for that size it should have been two. The server "Chriss" wasn't that attentive to us at all, after taking our order she literally came back almost 40 mins later to tell us our food is being prepared now because they had to get all the other orders done, a check in sooner would have been much appreciated, she refilled our drinks and didn't bother to ask if we wanted more ice and I had the sweet tea and everyone knows the sweet tea is room temperature. When it was time to pay the bill the way she handed us the check by reaching over to the side instead of coming directly in front of the table as if she was taking our order would have been more professional. I won't return to this location at all.
Crab Stuffed Salmon review by Ryrymommy2015
I was so pleased with my experience at Croker Spot. For starters, the staff was amazing. Shout out to my waiter Caleb. They made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. Everything about my meal was delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection and don't get started on that cornbread. I will be back at least once a week. I can't wait to try more menu options.

Wow! Service was top class as well as the food. All the way from Inwood, WV I Surely got my money's worth and will be sharing this place on social media for friends and family to stop in whenever they are in the area. Thank you for great hospitality and Great food!
Veggie Fish Boat review by Ryanwender
Fantastic! Flaky fish smothered in onions and peppers and olives. Loved the potatoes and the corn bread too. Took a while to come out but definitely worth the wait. Service was excellent. Can't wait to go back.
