Four Brothers Bistro & Grill is a well-kept secret on Lombardy Street in Richmond, VA, on the corner of a brick mall not too far from Maymont Park. Four Brothers used to have a Food Truck, but now they’re proud to serve you from their brick and mortar establishment seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. My husband and I were greeted warmly by Josh, the manager, as soon as we entered the restaurant. Josh welcomed us by telling us all about the menu, featured on the left when you enter, and the daily special, the loaded Texas Jack Burger. We soaked up all the tasty details about this diverse menu, which included gyro pita wraps, black and bleu burger, turkey cheddar bacon sub, Reuben sandwiches, chicken Caesar Wrap, Greek salad, and Cobb salad, in addition to sides such as potato salad and Volcano fries.
We had made up our minds that we wanted to order the Philly cheesesteak and the bacon cheese fries, as I had thoroughly enjoyed this meal previously at the sadly now-closed Virginia Center Common location a few years back with a friend. A victim of the Pandemic, this location of Four Brothers was the sole reason that we decided to make the trip to Four Brothers on Lombardy.
When our orders came up so quickly, we were dazzled by how inviting and scrumptious our melting cheese looked all over our subs and fries! Steaming hot cheese dancing with sauteed onions and thinly sliced, sauteed steak, between two toasted sub rolls, made this cheesesteak a delight. I chose mozzarella (that’s the classic choice for a Philly cheesesteak, or so I thought?) and my husband enjoyed American cheese (the *other* standard cheese choice for Philly cheesesteaks). Whose steak sub was better? It was impossible to decide!
There’s nothing I enjoy more than potato skins on French fries, so these cheese fries did not disappoint. Leaving the skin on the fries not only makes them more attractive to look at - ah, brown ridges and bumps, there you are - but more flavorful as well. These fries were fried perfectly, so that they remained crisp under the melted cheese and chopped bacon. Let’s talk about that bacon - it was rendered flawlessly to give it that crispy crunch, that thick texture, that salty, meaty flavor.
It’s time to return to Four Brothers to try their burgers, as many people mentioned in their Google reviews how much they enjoyed them. When do you plan to go to Four Brothers?

This is a very solid food place! The diversity of food that they serve is incredible, and for the most part all of it is equally so! The burgers were really juicy, although I thought the Buns were a little comedically oversized unless you got the havoc burger, which by far their best tasting burger. The other sandwiches were solid, as was the gyro to my surprise.
The staff are really polite, almost as if they actually were four brothers haha and the atmosphere very comfortable. Decent amount of parking around the place, if you're in the area looking for a good burger, certainly stop by here!

I go here most Tuesday evenings for their 9.99 burger and fries deal, and I haven't been disappointed yet. The food is always delicious. The portion sizes are great, especially for the price. The staff is always friendly, and most recently, they acknowledged me as a regular which is super fun. I have no complaints and encourage you to go get one of these tasty burgers for yourself.

The food here is amazing. But what good is amazing food without an amazing staff behind the counter!! Very friendly people and a great atmosphere. Fast service and a clean seating area. I got an 8" supreme cheese steak and it's a huge 8 inches. A guy obviously measured this one!! 🤪 👍 Greatfresh cut fries too!!

My husband and I had lunch here today. We've been here a few times, and as usual...they didn't disappoint! I had bacon cheeseburger, my husband had the havoc burger. I love that they use premium ingredients and grill the brioche bun! The fresh cut fries are absolutely delicious. My husband loves the onion rings. They portion sizes are great. You feel you get your money's worth and we always need to go boxes. Equally important is that they are always friendly, eager to please and the environment is very comfortable. This is our "go to" place when we want a burger- I highly recommend it.

I had a Falafel wrap, Black bean burger with fries and a Greek salad.
The falafel was delicate yet full of flavor. And the pita it was wrapped in was soft to the touch. The bean burger was a great alternative to meat. They seasoned the ingredients to perfection. Once I tasted the fries, it’s hard to imagine eating frozen ones ever again. They were slightly salted and had a touch of a vinegar like flavor on the finish. Lastly, I tasted the Greek salad. Oh was it Devine. All the peppers, feta cheese, tomatoes, red onion, etc was filling to say the least. I had plenty for lunch the next day.
This Bistro has been known for making the BEST Cheesesteaks outside of Philly! It is their #1 seller I’ve been told.
Mr. Nader Hagen left his hometown to not only get his culinary degree but pursue his culinary dreams too. I can tell you first hand the menu is made of the freshest ingredients!
Additionally, all items are appealing to the eye from the fresh hand cut French fries to the Gyros. Every plate sure is great.
Keep an eye out as you’re on the road because they have a food truck too.

My rating is a 4.0 out of 5. I with they had a location in Maryland. I truly enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning the next time I am in Richmond, Virginia.

The Havoc was great. I delivered orders from this place and the food smelled good. Finally went there and it did not disappoint.

I haven't written a review on a resturant before but I humbly concur that this one deserves my first. From my first bite of "The Havoc" I knew I was in a magic wonderland. From the 12oz of fresh beef to the fresh veggies and tangy mustard, every inch of that burger made me feel like how Remy felt from Rattatouille when he mixed grapes and cheese. I closed my eyes while chewing and saw a rainbow. I haven't tried their other options but there is quite a wide variety of delicious foods to choose from and I can only imagine that they put all the same love and pride into their work with every item. Speaking of, the service was wonderful. The manager who took my order was friendly and happy to see that I chose to eat there. He was proud to tell me about my burger and how the beef is never frozen and delivered every day. The ladies who masterfully crafted the sandwich had smiles on their faces and it was done within minutes. The only complaint I have is that I got full, so I couldn't eat another. Easiest five stars of my life. I'm going home to hibernate now.

First time visiting and ordered the cheesesteak and onion rings. Food was tasty and filling and the service was friendly. The steak sandwich was a bit dry but had flavor and the onion rings were just a tad bity greasy but overall a good experience and will be back.

Popped in here for lunch when visiting Richmond for the day and what a great little bistro! The staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly, the prices are fantastic and the food .. WOW .. burgers thick and juicy and my tuna melt was big enough for two! If I'm ever in Richmond again and need a quick bite this is where you'll find me.

Don't bother going to Charlie's around the corner. Or do, then come back because Charlie's sets the bar so low you'll be blown away by Four Brothers. Their bread is very good, and their burgers and cheesesteaks are solid. They offer whiz as a cheese option, which they cook in I believe. If you're used to Mojos (RIP) you'll want to ask for extra cheese. Their fries are also solid. They came out piping hot and sprinkled with seasoning salt.
Johnnetta Foster
Soon as I walked through the door my order was taken after I was greeted. Menu to your left. Delicious aroma in the air. Not a long wait. The black bean burger is so delicious.
Jackson Huynh
I got the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries and so did my friend. It was damn good, only down side is it needed some sauce but I'm willing to look past that. The staff was so nice; Bill, thank you for the great service!
Eddie Payne
$13 for a burger and fries that were mediocre at best. With this type of thinking I can open my own food truck and buy a bag of cheap burgers from food lion, which is what the pattys were like, and serve them on a cold bun with some frozen fries and make 100% profit. I wouldn't recommend anyone try this food truck.
Andrew Freundt
There is nothing bad here. Cheesesteak, gyro, honey chicken pita, burgers, etc. are all great quality. I’ve been coming to Nader’s restaurants back to his times in gas stations (15+ years now if I’m not mistaken), and I’m never disappointed. Both his VCU and location near VCC are great. The havoc burger is the only burger I’ve ever ordered that I struggled to finish. It’s gigantic but so good you’ll find a way!! Keep up the good work! Happy to be a customer.
Brandon Lindsey
I am a burger person and have had them across Richmond.... this place has the burger game locked down from the bun to the sides they cannot go wrong ...I visted the VCC location for my visit ...friendly staff ..fast food cooked correct ... amazing experience

Today was my first time visiting this place and I had the lamb gyro and it was the bomb. Very tender and super good flavor. The staff are really nice as well !!!!
LaTesha Sharpe
Had my first taste of a burger and fries from this place yesterday and OMG ������������������������
Burger was cooked PERFECTLY and fries were awesome. I honestly can say I never had a burger that good.
Diana Lynne Long
Our company booked them to come to our office. They supposedly "forgot to tell us they weren't coming" That is just plain old bad customer service. It may have been for the best considering the menu they sent us had the prices blocked out. Either they are over-priced or they change pricing on the fly for the venue. Either way it's an OUT in my book. Won't be supporting their business.
Antoine Parham
I love this place food is awesome burgers are way better then 5 guys burgers !!!!!
Wilshannoa Wells
Chad and Q (sorry don't remember his wonderful unique name)made sure a hungry bunch was well taken care of even when they were getting busy. It was nice going to a place everyone could get something they want. Priceless experience to make ordering foods for those with allergies easy. Chad looked out for us to make sure the orders were right from the start and Q even made sure the bag handles would not cause us problems. All the special touches that dinning out is all about.
Rachel Davin
Love it here! They make fries the way my mom used to. Definitely will come back and recommend it! �
Felando Waller
The food was great... Staff even better along with the Philly Cheese Steak and cheese fries... Amazing!!
Dolores Rossi
I would love to tell you what I think about this food, but it looks like I will never know. A "no show" is a "no go" for me. And for no real good or viable reason. I don't appreciate the terrible way in which you do business. So I will keep my money for another.

My Family loves four Brothers Bistro the food is always so Good �

Always the best burger in town and the owners are friendly
Stacey Ziherl Pumper
First time at Four Brothers Bistro and Grill tonight. Food was fantastic and the people behind the counter were just as nice. Too bad we hadn't gone in prior to tonight. We will be back.
Abir Daham
Best of luck Nader !!!! Great food by the best chef !!! Hope I get to visit soon
Richard Henry
Most disgusting restaurant I've seen. For years someone has been letting their dogs do number 2 on the side of the building on lombardy. This is not what I want to see before going into a restaurant to orider food.
