Baker's Crust Artisan Kitchen - Henrico

Baker’s Crust has been part of the Short Pump Mall for many years. They offer a wide variety of options on their Breakfast, Lunch/Dinner, and drink menus. Breakfast served daily until 2 PM, and Happy Hour is between 3 PM to 6 PM daily. On a nice day, it is quite enjoyable sitting outside watching mall goers.The presentation of their food always looked appetizing. Service was very professional.We ordered two appetizers, Smothered Fries and Burrata Tomato Relish. Both were very good. I wouldn’t mind order them again. Perfectly cooked French Fries was covered with candied bacon, parmesan cheese, dill pickles, and drizzled with parsley garlic sauce (chimichurri) and garlic aioli. It was amazing.Burrata is an Italian cow milk cheese made from mozzarella and cream. It was paired with cherry tomato, arugula and balsamic glaze; served with grilled rustic sourdough slices. The bread was good by itself. Only two slices came with the order, our nice waiter Matt brought out three more slices. All together was the perfect blend.For lunch we ordered Smoky Bacon Burger, Bacon Egg Cheeseburger, Charleston Chicken Avocado Sandwich, and Swanky Benedict. The portion is reasonable. However, food lacked flavor, didn’t taste as good as we hoped. I guess that is the trade off for dining at a franchise restaurant. Over all, it was a great experience.We didn’t offer desserts at this time. I know that they have great desserts from our past visits.One more thing, they have a Gluten Free menu with lots of selections.Be aware that Baker’s Crust charges 3.5% of your bill for paying with Credit Card.Kid-friendliness: They offer kids menu.Parking: It can be difficult to find parking close by the restaurant. There is plenty of parking as long as you don’t mind walking.Dietary restrictions: They have a good selections on Gluten Free meals.

Menu is good, food was well prepared, and service was prompt. But you can 't get 5 stars due to the digital checkout device. It 's another example of over-using technology to annoy customers. (Not quite the QR code to get a menu that some places use, but still annoying). Think about it. The server hands you a device you 've never seen before (you know your devices, not theirs) and then expects an immediate response in real time while hovering over you. Can I customize the tip, change the preset amounts, how, where 's the button, etc?? What happened to leaving the traditional check and saying when *you 're* ready ? What happened to putting customers first?

Great experience overall at Baker’s Crust. The pizza was delicious and the prices were ridiculous. Our server was attentive and exceeded expectations.

Not what is used to be. Used to go here frequently and was good but last visit service was poor. Restaurant was not busy and had to keep looking for server to get drink refill and bill. Not sure if will be back.

Just had lunch and it was great! Crepes are fantastic!!!
