Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I know this place is some kind of icon in Elberton but, really, is it because there are so few options? We tried and we were hoping it would work out. We had to work to get noticed so we could get our order taken, we had to wait so long for the food we could have cooked it ourselves, the grease was enough to choke a horse, and there was no service after getting the food. Serice means you greet, you introduce, you explain, you suggestively sell, you bring the drinks, you brink the food, you check as to food quality, you pre-buss, you try to upsell, you clear the table, you expedite payment, you thank the guest. In our case we got a menu eventually, we figured out what we wanted, we got it eventually, and we had to wait to pay. Not worth going back. Sorry, Elberton. We need an alternative.

So far, good prices and neat tables. Beer bottle caps in cool designs lacquered over and another table on jack barrels. We shall see how the food is if our waitress comes back. Hamburger steak, baked potato, and cauliflower order up..real slow taking the order but worth the wait. They were real understaffed but besides that it was great. It reminded me of why we come out to eat, to socialize and I had time to do it. Great experience.

My first question was… is this place family friendly? The answer is yes! I have read some reviews that stated if you are not local, you will not get good service. I do not agree! We had great service. The server took our order quickly and we received our food quickly. The food was really good and our server took really good care of us. We will definitely be back during our stay!!

This was not a good restaurant at all. Went here on business bc it was the #2 restaurant in Elberton. The food took a while to prepare, and when it came, my fries and chicken fingers were like frozen private label. I would never go back there again.

2 hour wait for an appetizer and they substituted french fries for potato boats without saying a word. Waitress was rude and could care less.

TERRIBLE value for the $. FIFTY-INE DOLLARS for 2 hamburgers w/mushrooms, onion rings, tater tots a brownie, and a sweet tea. $51. That's FIFTY-ONE DOLLARS. My burger came without even lettuce and tomato...just the hamburger patty on a bun. Will not be going back.

we went last Sat.evening, the food was great, more choices, and better quality than average bar food. The prices were reasonable. My only issue was the dirty paper menus-these need to be laminated-especially since covid, would think this would be a health issue-also GROSS. Have had the lunch special to go many times,always great-just PLEASE -new menus!

Table service, a little slow, but the food is SO GOOD! Definitely order the Burger! Great family atmosphere. The staff is friendly, but frenzied. Prices are reasonable. Consistently good food. Lunch includes a small buffet, which is good. Take your ticket to the register to pay.

We were looking forward to a return visit to Richards after dining here previously.
My wife had the hamburger steak and I ordered the ribeye. We both ordered grilled broccoli. Our meals were delicious and service was superb.

This is our second time here. Went with the lunch special and had one of the best pork chops ever plus steamed cabbage.
Friendly staff, neat clean little establishment.
We live in Lavonia and definitely will be back again.

This is a very short review, you must eat a Richard’s Burger. 8oz. of pure heaven. Looks like a dive, good beer and friendly service. Very popular with locals.
