Perry's Steakhouse & Grille - Richmond (Short Pump) Restaurant

My first time at Perry's was Thanksgiving Day 2025, and it was packed! Customers were standing crowded in the small hostess area. I was joining a party of three who, although reservations had been made, still had to wait to be seated. Tables are very close together, but our server was delightful and recommended menu items well. I expected dishes to be pricey - and they are! I had one of the least expensive pasta, lobster and filet tips dishes; it was delicious but I didn't expect "2oz" to be the tiniest piece of lobster (served in a tail to recognize it, I suppose); and would have loved a bit more angel hair, the tips were tender and flavorful. My friends enjoyed their rib eyes which looked incredible! The ala carte sides are large and shareable. While dining a server/busser overstocked his tray with empty glasses and a few smashed to the floor on his way to the kitchen. Beside glass spattering very close to our table making us leary of shards in our food, the afternoon at Perry's was pleasant.

Dined here for my birthday on November 1st and was pleasantly impressed! Was in the area looking for some top steakhouses and this restaurant popped up. I had the lobster bisque for my appetizer, it was delicious with the bits of lobster throughout. My entree was the Koji 22oz steak, I had the loaded mashed potatoes, the creamed spinach( kind of sweet in my opinion )and I chose the 3 sauces of my choice. I enjoyed everything down to the sauces. My waiter surprised me with a birthday cake and also a birthday card which was a nice gesture! I will be back because I saw a ton of people ordering the pork chops so I’m eager to try that next!! Thank you for a great birthday dinner!!

Had the best time celebrating my anniversary. Second year in a row celebrating at Perry’s and will most definitely be back. We started with a few cocktails from the bar, the carpaccio and stuffed mushrooms. Delicious! The manager Marcos even stopped by to bring us extra bread to enjoy the carpaccio with. My mouth is still watering thinking about the carpaccio! Our server Amanda was amazing and never made us feel rushed as we wanted to throughly enjoy our experience. We followed up with wedge salads, ribeyes and the potatoes Au gratin. The Au gratin potatoes are a must! My steak was cooked perfectly and my partner’s was a little over done. The lighting made it hard to see when initially asked to cut into the steaks. However, the steaks still were 10/10. We finished with a commentary crème brûlée. We were SO full so we definitely have leftovers for later. A well curated experience. I cannot thank Marcos and Amanda enough. Will definitely be making this our anniversary spot for years to come!

I went to Perry’s Steakhouse for a “nice dinner” and accidentally signed up for a full culinary drama with a happy ending. First, the cocktails. The Fashioned First is basically a handshake from a very classy bartender who wants better for your life. The Salted Caramel Espresso Martini tastes like dessert, therapy, and a mild caffeine relapse all in one glass. 10/10, would make questionable decisions again. Then the starters hit the table and suddenly I understood why people write love letters to food. Perry’s pork chop bites – a preview of greatness. Seafood stuffed mushrooms – tiny flavor bombs. Signature fried asparagus with crab – vegetables, technically, so I’m counting it as health food. By this point I was full… and then the steaks & chops arrived. The Prime New York Strip and ribeyes are seared like they made a pact with a cast-iron skillet. Perfect crust, juicy center, and that Perry’s steak seasoning that quietly says, “This is why you worked all week.” And then there’s Perry’s Famous Pork Chop. It doesn’t just show up—it enters. Smoked, cured, carved, sauced… it’s less of a pork chop and more of a multi-chapter autobiography. You don’t order it, you commit to it. Sides are equally dangerous: Au gratin potatoes that could start an argument at the table over who gets the corner. Sweet Sriracha Brussels sprouts that might convert lifelong veggie haters. Thick-cut mushrooms that somehow taste like steak’s enthusiastic backup singers. We insisted we were too full for dessert, and then the Champagne Biscuit Charlotte and pumpkin cheesecake appeared and we folded instantly. If dessert is wrong, Perry’s has no interest in being right. Is it cheap? Absolutely not. Was it worth every dramatic swipe of the credit card? Also absolutely. Pro tips: -Wear stretchy pants. - Don’t pretend you’re “just getting a salad.” You’re not. - Book a late reservation so you can go home, fall directly into bed, and dream about that pork chop. If you’re looking for a place where dinner feels like an event and every course tries to outdo the last, Perry’s is your spot.

We went to Perry’s Steakhouse to celebrate our 1-year anniversary, and we were lucky enough to be served by Nick. I don’t think I’ve ever been taken care of as well as I was by him that day. The way he described each dish was mouthwatering, our table was always spotless, and we never needed to ask for anything — he was always one step ahead. I started with the French Onion Soup and then had Perry’s Filet, both of which were outstanding. My husband had the Koji Ribeye with Truffle Merlot sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back. Nick made the experience unforgettable.

This was probably the best meal I have had at a restaurant in my 40 some years of living in Va. Obviously we paid an arm and a leg, but we expected it would leave a dent. I had never had a5 wagyu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Appetizers, sides, and drinks were all amazing and cooked to perfection. The service was top notch and our server made the experience all the more fun. Although for $400 for dinner for 2 I expected it to be good, my expectations were exceeded in every aspect. We enjoyed that you could order anything, any way you wanted it, compared to some other higher end restaurants. We definitely will be back some day to try something new on the large menu of options.

We enjoy sitting at the bar and taking in “Social Happy”. They have a great selection on the Social Hour menu and the lunch menu extends until 5pm!!! When you walk in the place is beautiful and comparable, if not steps ahead of other fine dining steakhouses in Richmond. When we arrived, we had our pick of seats, but as I scanned the room about 20 minutes later. There wasn’t an empty seat to be found. The drinks were great and I enjoyed watching the bar staff prepare some beautiful cocktails throughout the night. We had the pork chops and they did not disappoint. The presentation and flavor were fabulous. Of course we couldn’t finish them. The staff were great and worked well together. This was the first time I saw a bar team do a pep talk and break a huddle before it got super busy . The manager Marco was working the room and had a great smile on his face the whole night. From the moment he opened the door for us. We knew this would become a regular staple for us.

We had an amazing birthday celebration earlier this month. Kristen and Marcos were wonderful along with the rest of the team. I especially appreciated the team's (Marcos and Kristen) last minute effort to accommodate our large group with a semi private space on the patio next to the fire place. The vibes were perfect!!! My guests all raved about the food and of course the service team ensured we had a lovely celebration. I appreciate all the care and joy the Richmond Perry's team demonstrate every time we visit. And the food is ALWAYS delicious!
