“a friend told us about this place. we now drive 45 mins just to go here. Great food. love the onion rings and cavern burger”

“Not only is Royal Zaika the best Indian food around, it’s my favorite restaurant of all time. The food is always delicious and fresh and the staff goes above and beyond to provide top notch service every time. They offer a wide menu and there really are no wrong choices, but I can’t recommend the chicken curry enough. This is my go to for special events and regular weekday dinners (and their takeout is always fast, too). If you’re on the fence, definitely make the stop here and enjoy!”

“Food is always delicious and quick! Staff is friendly and helpful if you're not sure what you want or have never been there before. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! I have never gotten anything that wasn't 5 stars from here! Don't let this food truck deter you. This is better than most sit-down places and great portions for the price!”

I will be telling everyone about it and to check it out! Amazing people here and atmosphere. They definitely made my birthday experience unforgettable.”

“Love going to Mom’s when we’re in Front Royal the server is really amazing the food is magnificento Oh and the owner she’s awesome ..reminds me of eating at grandma’s house on Sunday morning”

“Just tried Hibachi Fresh for the first time today. Loved the Bulgogi beef and lo mein. Sweet and Sour chicken was good too (appreciated the sauce served on the side so it wasn't soggy!). But the best? The crab rangoon is AMAZING!! I will definitely be back!”

“The items are great..I wander around just looking at all the. things...The take home bags with the Christian themes are the best....Folks ask me about mine..The price is so good...if I worked there.....my salary would All go to shopping there....we eat there a lot....pot roast. yum...corn muffins. should be larger and fluffy..”

“I've been going here every month or two for a couple years now. This is the best place in the area for authentic Latin food. Amazing flavors and generous portions for an outstanding price. It's a struggle to find great, affordable restaurants anymore, but this is one of them. I highly recommend the yuca fritas! And pretty much everything else on the menu too, because I've tried most of it.”

“Clearly marked vegan options on the menu with helpful and knowledgeable waitstaff to answer your questions! I confirmed with the server that the fried green tomato sandwich was vegan by swapping in vegan bacon and vegan mayo, and this sandwich was slammin. The sandwich is seasonal but they also had a BBQ tofu bowl, cauliflower wings, and other great options! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-19”

“This may have been my wife’s favorite burrito ever, and the street corn empanada, just WOW. We will be back and will be ordering ahead of time so we can bring some to our camping crew! Keep up the awesome work”

“a fun and happy place, it has been a few years since we were there (our family is back home with is now)”

“Beautiful place, beautiful people, beautiful wine.”

“Normally the food has been great, but lately the taste and spice isn’t consistent. We ordered takeout tonight and it wasn’t very good and I couldn’t finish it, which is really disappointing.”

“This place is sooo under the radar and soooo good. Anyone who’s familiar with Pollo Rico I’m Arlington will like this place. I don’t know why there aren’t lines out the door!”

“This restaurant was such a gem to find in Front Royal! I have only been there twice, but plan to come back. I have told all my friends about this restaurant too! The decor and resturant its self is clean and chic. The service was friendly, quick, and attentive. Then the food was amazing!!! I would have never thought in a million years to find good Nepali food in a small mountain town. I can not recommend Khukiri Nepali Cuisine enough.”

“Fajita in a pineapple! So good! Excellent service as well.”

“Great service. Terrific food - tacos carnitas and spinach enchiladas.”

“Lively little coffee shop that had a constant flow of customers! I had the Coco Mocha and it was delicious! For sandwiches, they had gluten free bread as a substitute, and we got a breakfast sandwich and avocado toast with salmon. We were able to get a good cafe and brekkie to be on our way’”

“The coffee drinks are amazing and the shakes from the ice cream bar will have you coming back for more. This is by far my favorite go to! LOVE this place!!”

“First visit and we will be back! Glad to see a deli in Front Royal. Customer service over the top.”

“This place is a gem! I have watched as Sarah, the batentender/hostess extraordinaire, welcomed everyone who walked in the front door, with a smile. She knew the returning guests by their first names, and remembered their usual beverage of choice. She introduced herself and got to know new guests quickly, while providing great service.
The atmosphere is warm and cozy. I love the mix of music nights, including band nights, open mic nights and open jam sessions. I am not a beer drinker, but patrons seem to enjoy the tavern beverage options. I am looking forward to my next visit!”

“It’s one of two Starbucks in Front Royal, three if you count the one in Target. This is the newest. It’s spacious, well-staffed, well-located, and has everything. It has a nice outdoor patio for enjoying your coffee and meal on nice days as well. It closes currently at 7:00 pm but many of them do since the pandemic, so keep that in mind if your a nite owl. Otherwise, great location!”

“Jymi was our server and she did a great job, enjoyed her personality.”

“Awesome good pizza especially the crispy with all the meat lovers”

“My first and so far only experience with Element was the Valentines dinner - and I can't stop talking about how good the food was. cooked to perfection and the portions were absolutely perfect sized - left me in awe and not wanting a single course to end but space for the next equally amazing course. we left not feeling overly full, but perfectly satisfied. nothing sat too heavy and I've been talking about this meal for 2 days now. I was especially impressed by the filet. I'm INCREDIBLY sensitive to red meat and usually eat a steak knowing my stomach will make me pay for it later unless it's specifically grass fed and grass finished or sometimes I can do grain finished. I went into the meal assuming I'd have to deal with my issues afterwards. at first bite I didn't care how much I had to pay with my body later, it was WORTH IT and then to my shock - I HAD NO ISSUES. the staff were friendly, and attentive. I will absolutely be back.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Anneise Green months ago at a networking event. I’ve always wanted to try her food, but never had the opportunity. So when my twin brother was in town Receiving a national award, I knew I wanted to do something special for him with some great catered food. Po Green’s was the solution to my problem, and they did not disappoint! She worked within my budget, delivered hot food to my house, and the taste… To die for! If you are looking for delicious barbecue, fantastic service, and overall great experience don’t hesitate to give Anneise and Po Green’s a call!”

“Their Sunday buffet is wonderful and affordable. Sushi is freshly made and there's quite a selection”

“Candy, was very respectful and made my experience very enjoyable. We have built a connection and wave to each other each day and talk about work and how our days are. She is a great employee who takes it to the next step.”

“I have passed by this place for years, but never stopped until just yesterday. Let me tell you, that was the best milkshake I have ever had (hot fudge brownie)!!! I cannot recommend it enough. The menu had so many options, flavors you don’t normally see at other places. The cashier was super friendly as well!! I have never left a review for a place before, but after my experience yesterday, I knew I had to leave one!!”

“Best tacos and pupusas in town! Also good tamales when available. can't wait to try more on the menu. Also the cakes are delicious and affordable! Got one for my birthday and was Delicious!”

“After moving to the area about 4 years ago from NoVa, I have to say that not only is the food excellent and freshly made to order but Frank and the rest of the staff go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and special requests! This can also be said for most of the small businesses in town! Thanks for everything you guys do! You have a customer for life!”

“I am very happy to find a local store who carry loose leaf tea. I will be coming back very soon.”

“too many changes. bartenders not experienced enough. underage tried to get me buy them drink. people walking out because they aren't getting served. food overcooked. sad. was a decent place. it changed and not for better. won't go back. telling friends not to go too.”

“While on the road we stopped into Subway and the two girls in the front counter that helped us out or extremely professional friendly and made the great sandwiches we expected. It was extremely clean and friendly the food was great in the service was great you for more than that thank you again from Chris and Dylan”

“Hands down the best sweet tea in the area, as well as, the cutest pizza shop owner 😜. 10/10 highly recommended 👌🤌🤌”

“Nothing they have roaches”

“Ten of us - the Back Road Romeos (Retired Old Men Eating Out) have gone out for lunch and beer together every month for the past several years. This happy and welcoming spot was our all-time favorite within ten minutes. The meat loaf, with mashed, gravy and peas) was a real crowd pleaser at just $5 on Thursdays. The other patrons quickly became friends. And the staff was friendly, welcoming, efficient and funny beyond our wildest expectations. All around wonderful!”

“I would like to comment on Bartender Jimmy and server Angel. These are the bartenders and servers you want to wait on you every dining experience. They were funny, jovial and prompt with the meals. We are definitely coming back.. Thank you.....”

“Fantastic service! Great burgers, Fries and Milk Shakes! Very Clean including Bathrooms. This is a Five Star place!”

“The past two days I’ve been ordering classic roast beef sandwiches, and they’re literally the best I’ve ever had. Whoever is cooking there Is doing a great job and I hope it stays that way”

“Rob and Wyatt were excellent and exceptionally accommodating with customer service providing quality care and advice with instruction on how to reheat our food once we reached our destination. Will definitely return back!”

“Excellent and courteous service. What can one say about Starbucks coffee other than it's excellent. Starbucks, however, is not offering its premium coffees in it's stores. I'm about to abandon Starbucks because of this cost cutting measure they've imposed on its coffeeholoics.”

“Last night's dinner was great. Good home cooking at a reasonable price. I had meatloaf with Ceasars salad & baked beans. My wife had roast beef & mashed potatoes special. Only ate here once but would come again. Service was very good.”

“I must give credit where credit is due. I ordered a large cheese stuffed crust pizza and my husband picked it up. They were very pleasant but the best part was the pizza it was HOT, FRESH and DELICIOUS � My family was very pleased. We will definitely be ordering from there again soon. Keep up the great work. You guys ROCK.”

“Quick service and good coffee.
Was very busy when we stopped by so naturally could have been a little cleaner but I also understand some people can be messy and won’t pick up after themselves.”

“great breakfast sandwichs”

“excellent fresh food and very friendly staff Thank you”

“the best place in town, I have eaten here for 20+ years! they go above and beyond! know my family personally and always really excited and happy everytime I order! go to GOLDEN CHINA. before trying any other restaurant. the food is OUTSTANDING”

“The people on the night shift are actually sweet as pie! :D
I greatly appreciate the stellar customer service! The coffee is great and always on time, thank you guys so much for the kind atmosphere!”

“Good service and great portions. I got the honey walnut shrimp and the orange chicken. For both of them i was given a good amount of food and it tasted great. My only complaint would be the fact that we had to wait for about 5 minutes for somebody before ordering.”

“Update: September 17 2025

Thought this place closed down when I was a kid. Had no idea they were still open here. Good food nonetheless!!! Had to check in!!!”
