Worst Food In My Entire Life – First of all, if I could give less than one star, I would. My husband and I had been wanting to try Byram's Lobster House for a little while now, and yesterday we decided to go ahead and try it. The waiter was relatively friendly, I'll give them that. The entire restaurant was coated in some kind of filth. On all of their decorations there is a noticeable layer of dust and cobwebs. On the table, there was some type of crumbs. I guess they don't clean the tables between uses. We declined an appe... read more

It was a good salad – My husband and I recently went on a getaway weekend in Richmond. We wanted to have a great dinner. We went to Byrams lobster house because I wanted Lobster. All I can say is the salad, dessert and coffee were great! We ordered fried oysters for an appetizer, I do believe they were from the river; Not only were they old but they had been fried to death! We both ordered specials of the day. I had the stuffed half lobster and NY strip, my husband the grilled trio, 3 different fish broiled. Sounds good! Whe... read more

Comfort was 1 hour + wait so we decided to try something else, and picked byram's because we'd driven past it so many times and always wondered if it was any good. Wonder no more, it is the worst seafood in Richmond by far. Conch cake appetizer was gross. $7 a glass house wine isn't insane, but still on pricey side. Took about an hour from when we ordered our entrees till they arrived. I got a lobster, $41 for 1.5 lbs, awfully expensive considering it was cooked to the consistency of shoe leather. My wife got the broiled sea... read more

Extremely Overpriced! – My family and I recently visited Byram's to celebrate my sister's graduation from VCU - no one had eaten there before, but we thought it would be a good idea since it was close to the Siegel Center...we were mistaken. Our group showed up for dinner at 4:30, so that we would have plenty of time for food before my sister had to leave to be at her graduation at 6:15. Although we were the only people dining at the time, we had one waiter serving us (15 people). While looking at the menu trying to pick an ... read more

THE WORST SEAFOOD IN RICHMOND..... – My recent visit to Byrams was the worst experience that any one could have in a restaurant. I will begin by saying that the waitress was not polite or friendly at all, actually she had an attitude. I had order the broiled seafood platter for $19.95 and as soon as the waitress put the plate in front of me I told my husband " this food looks nasty and actually where is the food??? Those were the smallest portions I have ever seen, especially for that price. The fact that I was raised by a p... read more

Excellent! – We were extremely impressed for our first visit. The restaurant is located almost directly under the Channel 6 News tower on West Broad Street. The interior is nicely decorated in Greek. The staff was friendly and professional. The food was very fresh and delicious. The ambience is romantic but is good for families. We would highly recommend it again - bring your appetite, as the portions are large.
