    Richardson's is always special. Took relatives from Missouri for their first visit. They were blown away by the quality and size of the food. I have been coming to Richardson's for over 35 years (from when they opened in their old location). Wish they were closer to where I live so I would come here more often.

    Richardsons is one of our favorite places to eat when visiting Phoenix. We have been coming here for many years. We love the whole experience. Sometimes the service is better than other times.

    I have eaten at Richardsons many, many times. It's a go to for sure. This occasion was very different. Arriving at 6:30 for our reservation the dinning area was DARK; darker than I've ever seen it. I asked if the lights could be raised to the "normal' level. Eventually (45 min) they were. Service was quite slow (1 hr) and the server was very rookie. Orders came out wrong. Ingredient choices, like duck vs cheese or shrimp, were wrong on 3 of the 4 orders. The 4th order was a long standing favorite, but not prepared the same this night. We will try again.

    The food was amazing. Our waiter struggled a bit. Not sure if she had too many tables or was just not present. Missed salads, drinks took a while… nothing major but it was a bit frustrating. It feels like the pricing has gone up a lot over the last year which is frustrating. Overall this is still one of our favorite restaurants in central Phoenix.

    Service was slow but our server was very pleasant. Probably a kitchen issue. Excellent preparation.

    Food is always good but they definitely need more servers. Luckily the bartender jumped in to help.
