9ers BBQ (Richmond) -Food CA (Near Richmond)

5 /5 James Sattiewhite: I ordered a beef rib, a pound of brisket, the dirty rice, and the macaroni and cheese. Everything was really good! While I personally prefer my brisket to be more on the moist side than lean, theirs was still flavorful and enjoyable. The real shining star was the beef rib—it was immensely flavorful, tender, and absolutely incredible. The dirty rice had a bold flavor with a nice little kick, which paired perfectly with the meats. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and comforting, and I loved that they used the larger noodles. It could have used just a touch more pepper for my taste, but it was still very good. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be going back. 9ers BBQ in Richmond is well worth a visit!

5 /5 Monica W!: This “pit stop” was a nice detour. I haven’t heard of 9er’s BBQ before but I decided to give it a try. Arrived at noon on a Tuesday and it wasn’t too busy yet. It’s cafeteria style and the menu is posted in large signs on the wall. I like that! Oh, the pit cage is in front of the building. It would have been nice to have those delicious smells filling the air on this day. I dined in and had the pork rib (2) and pulled pork plate with 2 sides (corn and pinto beans). The pulled pork was moist with a nice flavor. The ribs were seasoned well but didn’t have the outrageous amount of smoked flavor I expected. The meat didn’t fall off the bone easily, but had a bit of “umm-umm” in every bite. All around it was a good meal. I won’t go out of my way to dine here, but if I’m on that side of town, I’ll try it. The owner was on site and he was very nice. Greeted every table.

1 /5 Regina Devroe: Bay bae!!! Where do I start! First thing my sister said when we drove up was that the lot was empty for 6pm on a Saturday night. We went in and we were greeted. I am a real foreal cook so I know good food. I had read a review that said the food was lukewarm but the other reviews were good so we decided to give them a chance. So I asked if the food was hot and fresh and girl said yes with a big smile but them sweet potatoes had a thick dark film over the top letting me know they hadn’t been stirred in hours smh. Any way we ordered baked chicken and ribs and potato salad and fried okra and my husband had the pulled pork baked potato. We got our drinks and sat down. I smelled tainted meat and my sister who is a cook as well said to me it smells tainted don’t it? I said yep! The ribs were tainted. I wanted to get a refund but my husband told me to let it go this time because his food was edible but not hot and fresh. They kept staring at us. No one came by to ask if everything was okay. They didn’t ask because they already knew it wasn’t fresh like I had asked before we ordered. Y’all look how the chicken and ribs were dried out smh!!! I didn’t even take a pick if the potatoe salad but the cut up potatoes were more raw than cooked because the edges were too sharp. No seasoning at all on nothing. I had two words for my husband: NEVER AGAIN!!! Point blank period. You’ve been warned. Old, lukewarm food with zero flavor unless you count black pepper as flavor. Y’all ought to be ashamed serving cold old food with no flavor at the prices yall charge. And again, NEVER AGAIN!!!

5 /5 Melanie Tsika: James Riley & his amazing staff go over and above to make your event special. We hosted over 30 ladies for breakfast in their large dining area, and had room for more. The food was delicious and plentiful. If you haven’t tried them for breakfast, do it! Large buffet on Saturday & Sunday; breakfast tacos every other day. You won’t regret choosing 9’ers BBQ.

3 /5 MARCUS: The place is clean will organize staff looks great. My sides are hot but my three meat plate meat is cold expensive for $20. The cold food.
