Anyone who has written a positive review about this restaurant is lying. The staff are quick with you as if they have a million other things to do be doing. One of those things should be learning how to make scrambled eggs so they don't arrive on the table with a tinge of brown. SCRAMBLED EGGS PEOPLE! It was a particularly awful experience, never have I left a restaurant feeling worse than when I came in. Pros: local Cons: Gross food, unfriendly staff

Ate there a couple of times...felt very dark and dirty. The waitstaff was good but really, when you come to work at a resturant I think you need to wear a clean shirt and clean up your beard! The food was very average, I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on crossiant...taste just like I could make at home without spending $10 bucks! Wouldn't waste our time or money on that again...... Pros: Location is cute Cons: Dirty

We've been dining there for years and our last dinner experience was not pleasant. The turkey burger was microwaved! Our crabcake sandwhich was cold. We usually go for brunch; perhaps it is best during these hours only. The only good part was the dependable tomato soup. We doubt we will go back, esp. since for 3 to dine it was $80 (2 had 1 glass of wine), not worth an unsatisfactory experience in today's economic climate.

Located in the Fan this restaurant is really busy during lunch so avoid that time. They are famous for their bathtub bar which has a great food selection. The service is fast and friendly. You get a good value because the food is very good and reasonably priced. Your expectations will be met. Of course, try the strawberries.

The Strawberry St Cafe is a nice atmosphere and good food without breaking your wallet. You can enjoy an eclectic mix of goodies at the bathtub salad bar , as well as enjoy a menu with a lot of good entrees and sandwiches. The service is always friendly and polite, and the menu is priced very fairly for a restaurant as nice looking as this one. The place is very Richmond being that its located in the heart of the Fan, and has a feel or a local eatery. The only drawbacks are that the menu has stayed about the same for the last 20 years, and the acoustics are not the best (when it gets crowded the conversation can bounce off the tin ceiling). However, because its such a cozy place, you always feel at home. Pros: good southern style service, warm atmosphere Cons: acoustics are muddy

The closest thing to a chain restaurant in the Fan, and, no, that's not a good thing. (oh, yeah, there is a Starbucks there now, isn't there?) Out of towners may like it and people with screaming kids. I can't imagine anyone else wanting to go there.

What a great neighborhood spot. Nice ambiance. Friendly waitstaff. Loved the Bathtub Salad Bar, chocked full of delicious Greens, and homemade salads. It's all you can eat, so if you love a good salad, c'mon.

This resturant has the fantastic combination of varied menu of quality food, great service and some real bargain specials. The soups, and the bathtub salad bar are features but for a meat and potato guy it has the best burgers and other choices to beat the band. Great place!

This restaurant has a great lunch selection to choose from. All of the food I have ordered has been delicious and who can top a salad bar out of a bath tub? Only drawback is that seating is tight. Better not have a problem with how your neighboring table chews. This restaurant is in a very quaint neghborhood that I enjoy looking at. Pros: food, salad bar, location Cons: tables too close

Strawberry St. Cafe is one of my favorite places for supper. Their famous bathtub salad bar is great...but my favorite menu item is the tomato bisque soup. They offer specials through the week, such as burger night, and a daily quiche. Their menu definitely has something for everyone, but as much as I love the restaurant, parking can sometimes be a pain (but what else can you expect in the Fan?). The cafe also has a decent wine bar--not out of this world, but decent. PROS: Food, wine, and friendly service. CONS: Parking.
