To kick things off, Richie’s gave away 300 free “DTW” meals right at opening. The combo included six party wings, wedges, and a lemonade.
One lucky customer also walked away with a Golden Ticket hidden inside a meal, earning them free food for a year at any Richie’s Chicken & Soul location.

Davis Cookie Collection was also on the scene keeping the crowd fed with desserts from its cookie truck.
The celebration took an unexpected turn when “All Hustle, No Luck” rapper Lantana performed on the restaurant’s…roof. And, of course, that quickly started making rounds across social media.
The Linn Street Richie’s has long been a reliable and affordable option for West End residents, especially in an area many consider a food desert. For years, the restaurant served as a go-to stop for families, workers, and locals looking for a quick meal without breaking the bank.
The reopening marks the third Richie’s location back in operation alongside the Avondale and Colerain restaurants following a major company-wide remodel and rebrand effort.
