Next to the main gates in Terminal 1, Club Level Grill is your sit-down option once you’re past security at RIC.
Club Level Grill sits airside in Terminal 1, just beyond the central checkpoint, and runs from 7:00 a.m. to the last departure every day. It’s one of the few places at Richmond where you can actually grab a table instead of eating at the gate. Service leans slower than fast food, so budget at least 30–40 minutes if your flight is boarding soon.
The menu sticks to standard airport bar-and-grill fare: burgers, sandwiches, salads, wings, and draft beer. Expect typical airport pricing, with most mains landing in the $12–$18 range and beers running roughly $7–$10. Portions run large enough that splitting a plate works if you just want something to tide you over on a short hops like RIC–CLT or RIC–ATL.
Breakfast runs from the 7:00 a.m. opening until mid-morning, then the grill switches to lunch and dinner items for the rest of the day. If you’re on an early RIC–ORD or RIC–DFW flight and want a hot meal before boarding, this is one of the only full-service options open in the terminal at that hour. Bar seating works best if you’re solo and need to keep an eye on the departure boards.
Tip: sit closer to the gate-side end of the dining room so you can hear boarding calls for the nearby Terminal 1 gates without relying on the PA alone.
