Editorial Review for Mrs. Marshall's Carytown Cafe – by Carter Trumbo
The Scene
This pastel-walled shop sits smack in the middle of Carytown's chic shopping district. Richmond's first families have been ordering sandwiches, cold salads and box lunches for years. With minimal seating (three cafe tables), most everything is ornately (and primarily) boxed for takeout.
The Food
This is traditional genteel Southern grandmother deli food: pimento cheese, cream cheese and olive salad sandwiches, ham biscuits, shrimp and egg salad, a rich tarragon chicken salad. Mrs. Marshall's signature potato salad is made with a homemade mayonnaise recipe dating from the 1920s. Box lunches include a generous sandwich, potato salad, dainty deviled egg and a brownie.

Mrs. Marshall's has the best sandwiches ever, and the size is enormous. More than once I've ordered one and had to take home half for later. Also, the deviled eggs are great - made the "old timey" way. If you haven't had the shrimp salad, you have missed something you should try. And then there's the potato salad - again not to be missed. The service is very good - always friendly and efficient. All in all, a trip to Carytown without a stop at Mrs. Marshall's is an incomplete trip to Carytown. Oh, I forgot to mention the soups - delicious!
Pros: great service, wonderful value
Cons: parking, size of space
