  Thanks to fellow reviewers we hit a home run the first night in the area and hungry for a good meal. As others noted this is in a re-purposed Rexall Drug Store that still retains much of the charm.
  
  The printed menu at the B&B where we are staying did not list dinner selections but after calling ahead we learned that they have a real nice selection of full meals.
  
  My wife and I both got identical meals, the Stuffed grouper with baked potato and grilled veggies. We were super impressed by the friendliness of the staff. After finding a seat three different servers came by to offer something to drink.
  
  The grouper arrived fast and HOT. The veggies we so good we both ate those first. The only mediocre items was the baked potatoes. While done they both tasted like they had been in a warming mode for too long. The stuffed grouper was great! I know that we both blew past any semblance to a diet tonight.
  
  While there we watched the staff put together a couple of salads for another table. Real nice lettuce and other additions so we know what's on our menu for tomorrow evening.

  Very friendly and prompt service  The BLT was pretty darn delicious and loaded with bacon, although the person who sliced the tomato made no effort to remove the center stem, which was disgusting.  I'll write that off as an honest mistake, though.  My boyfriend's pork BBQ sandwich was killer.  Oh, and though it's not mentioned on the menu, the applesauce side dish is CINNAMON applesauce, which they will also garnish with cinnamon on top.  Just pointing it out because I hate cinnamon applesauce.  Consider yourself warned.

  Richardson's has absolutely delicious food served in an old former pharmacy.  Very casual atmosphere, reasonable prices, about 10 dinner specials on the board and serves beer and wine.  Two of our party of five grew up in Mathews/Gwynn's Island and knew many of the patrons and it was fun for them to catch up with long lost friends.  My husband and I ordered filet Oscar and it was soooo good.  wrapped in bacon and served a LOT of crabmeat and grilled asparagus.  Lots of sides to choose from too--you got to select two in addition to the asparagus that the dish came with.  Washed it all down with a bottle of pinot grigiot (several, actually)!  Too full for dessert but they had a huge list of Hershey's ice creams available and even brought a little "palate cleansing" spoon of ice cream and made us guess the flavor (delish-banana pudding!).
  
  If you are ever out this way, stop in.  Such nice people there and the food was absolutely delicious (I think I said that already....)  GO!

  Wow.  Talk about small town feel and stepping back to the 1950's.  We stopped in for an ice cream.  Sat on the stools at the counter.  Sundaes are served in a real glass sundae dish..no plastic.  Very impressed.  Nice decor with the old pictures.  Will definitely come back

  Great food, great hospitality.
  A wonderful family owned little gem.
  Don't miss the crab puppys. WOW!!
  This place is right out of the best of what yesteryear in America had to offer.
  If you find yourself out that way, do not miss this!!
