Porridge Pot Brings Community Back To Richmond
A group of five local farmers and businessmen opened the Porridge Pot on Aug. 1, 1978, reviving a downtown dining spot. Gloria Strobel runs it with a guest‑pleasing philosophy, offering daily menus and a potato porridge soup alongside roast beef, homemade bread and pie. The restaurant draws locals from nearby towns and aims to keep customers returning to town. Open hours vary by day, with full servings most days and Sundays.
