This place is amazing. The food was great and the atmosphere fit the food perfect. Highly recommend as a BBQ place in the city. They even have vegetarian options.

We had the three meat platter and half rack of ribs and were very impressed! The collards are the best I’ve had, the cornbread is amazing and the yams are sweet in all the right ways. It feels like there’s a lot of love put in to this food - we loved everything we got and the portions and prices were extremely reasonable. Patrick took great care of us at the bar and made delicious cocktails. We’ll be back to try the brunch and for dinner again soon!

Christina was awesome. The cocktail list is one of the most unique ones I've seen in Richmond. Great food, good drinks, attentive service. Definitely recommend the chili*

GOOD golly gracious, have they absolutely surpassed all my even highest expectations in every single area of ratings and more. The food was PHENOMENAL! I got the portabello tacos, which were even better than I remember from the last time I had it years ago at the other Alamo location, which is currently being renovated. The service was incredibly accommodating and kind(!), and the atmosphere is freakin' awesome. After all, there's a life-sized bear and a cow-ch for taking pictures with/on to document the great time spent here. I can't say enough about how delicious everything was and how well we were treated here. This is TOP-NOTCH all around, and if you haven't been here yet, getcha booty on over there!

I embarked on an unexpected gastronomic journey with a group of friends on a late Wednesday evening at Frontier by Alamo in Church Hill. Despite it being close to closing time, we were graciously accommodated - a testament to their commendable service. Starting our meal with draft Narragansets priced at a reasonable 5 each, we were not disappointed. Our server was generous with the pours, filling each glass to the brim and offering an ideal prelude to our culinary experience. Diving into the main course, I opted for the Alamo Cuban. The sandwich was robust in flavor, the ingredients well balanced, although the bread was a tad too crunchy for my preference. A slightly lesser degree of toasting would have elevated the sandwich to perfection. Nevertheless, it remained a pleasing dish. Our party also tried the Southwest Caesar Salad, which managed to satiate even a non-BBQ enthusiast. This was a demonstration of the menu's versatility, providing options that cater to a variety of taste profiles. A delightful surprise was the cheesy enchiladas, which proved so generous in portion that we took some home. The same can be said for the Pulled Rotisserie Chicken Sandwiches. Our companions reported them to be quite satisfying, delivering on both taste and quantity. The Texas Trainwreck deserves a mention, not only for its deliciousness but also for its sheer value for money. It truly encapsulates the restaurant's commitment to serving hearty, comforting meals without burning a hole in your pocket. No meal at Frontier by Alamo is complete without their sides. The jalapeno mac and cheese was a particular standout, providing a wonderful blend of creamy, cheesy goodness with a fiery kick of jalapenos. The mac and cheese, as well as the French fries, received universal acclaim from our group, further enhancing the overall dining experience. As for the ambiance, Frontier by Alamo offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, complemented by polite, helpful staff who enhanced our late-night visit. One amusing observation was a random printer in the dining room. Not sure why it was there, but I had to mention it. In conclusion, our night at Frontier by Alamo was filled with flavorful food, delightful drinks, and hearty laughter. A minor hiccup with the overly toasted bread and the misplaced printer were far outweighed by the positives. A must-visit in Church Hill for those seeking delicious, affordable food in a convivial atmosphere.

Like this place so much, I came back twice in two nights. Even though it’s a bbq place they have great vegetarian options, like the fried chile relleno, nachos with portobello shrooms, Texas caviar and jalenpeno mac and cheese. Servings are big enough to share, staff is attentive and chill, kitchen immaculate. The Grateful Dead was the soundtrack both evenings and the quality, service, and atmosphere are solid and consistent. The taxidermy Bear is the piece de resistance

This place was a wonderful surprise! Great service, warm and welcoming (the AC works great, not that kinda warm ), and good food / drinks! Frontier by Alamo is going on my, "good food in RVA" list and I'm excited to bring friends and family to this hidden honey hole!

So, the food was delicious and portioned well, and the bear was friendly, but I really came to highlight Noelle. It was one of those days where a series of factors left them understaffed, and she kept the place going! Friendly, professional, and attentive as she bounced from table to table and worked to keep everyone happy. Fantastic service from her that made the wait not sting.
