What People Are Saying About Godfrey's Restaurant

The Scene – With its famously in-your-face drag show entertaining brunch crowds every Sunday morning, Godfrey's revs up crowds Saturday night and welcomes them back with style once the sun rises again. Weekend nights are more sedate than other late-night bars--perhaps because Godfrey's is more of a casual nightspot than a party zone. Here, Richmond's gay community begins and ends an evening out. – – The Brunch – Even if hanging out at Godfrey's in the evenings isn't your scene, Richmonders both gay and straight love the Sunday morning drag brunch.

MOST FUN TO BE HAD ON A SUNDAY!!!!
by HeatherJH at Citysearch
Loved this place!!! The drag show was amazing...what great costumes, and some of their bodies are better than most woman's! Food was outstanding - Crab Eggs Benedict is HIGHLY recommended! Drinks were great - service (Dale) was FANTASTIC! There was even a straight guy (David) who had a ripped body and took off his shirt - awesome! Be prepared to spend at least $50 per person (this does not include the $20 I changed into ones for tips or the $10 I spent on a Godfrey's T-shirt!!) However, I will say the pricing for drinks, shots and food is VERY reasonable. Our waiter even got us some free shots (or someone else paid for them) The announcer is amazing (he ripped on everyone - can't remember his name but he is Dale's partner). I can't wait to go again, but be prepared to be VERY hungover on Monday! Great place to have a bachelorette party (there were 2 going on there when I went). Overall, completely amazing time! You have to do it at least once! :) I practically clapped the skin off of my hands!
- Pros: Great Service, great food, great drinks, great drag show!
- Cons: The only drawback is the fact it is SUNDAY brunch - you get VERY drunk!

Best Brunch
by pegva at Citysearch
The Drag Brunch is a total Blast! Kerry is adorable and very Classy! Dale is an awesome waiter but Jack leaves a lot to be desired. Jack dear... the "curmudgeon" attitude is okay, charming even in a quirky way... but you do actually have to WAIT on tables... all your tables. We waited forever for food and that's not so bad... we expected it... but you could have at least kept us in Drinks! For God's sake, I was at Godfrey's Drag brunch and I only had 2 Mimosas.... the whole time.... I should have been thoroughly sloshed when I left. But you hardly ever came to check on us.
The performers were great, as usual!
- Pros: Awesome show... so much fun!
- Cons: finding a place to park (though sundays aren't really THAT bad), Jack as your waiter

My favorite part of Virginia!
by pazzqua10 at Citysearch
Godfrey's Drag brunch is, in my opinion, the best thing Virginia has going for it! The food is excellent, I recomend the eggs bennedict. The staff is pleasant, attentive, and a ton of fun. And the entertainment can't be beat. It made my time in VA a hell of a lot more fun. Kerry is the best!
- Pros: fun crowd, stiff drinks, cute waiters
