Our alphabetical lists of places to eat in Short Pump: wings, pizza, Mexican, burgers, Asian, breakfast and coffee, desserts, bakeries and patios.

Last checked 2026-10-19. Refreshed every three months.

Most places to eat in Short Pump are on one road. West Broad Street (U.S. 250) carries Short Pump Town Center’s restaurants and the chains and local spots on either side of it, from Interstate 64 west to the Vinery shops. The Pump Road and Lauderdale Drive shops, West Broad Village on Old Brick Road, the Nuckols Road shops by Twin Hickory and the drive-thrus on Pouncey Tract Road fill in the rest.

Each list below is alphabetical, not a ranking, and nobody pays to be on it. They cover the Census Bureau’s Short Pump census-designated place, not every Richmond, Henrico or Glen Allen mailing address. Places come from OpenStreetMap records, which also feed our local directory, Short Pump Town Center’s directory and Virginia Department of Health inspection records, checked against each place’s own website. We refresh them every three months; places can write to us to correct an entry.
