Pretty crowded. They placed some of the tables too close together. Also used rigid chairs that leaned back from the tables.

Went here for lunch with my grandma because she swears by it. We each got fantastic food for a great price, and amazing service & suggestions from the staff!

We're visiting from out of town to attend a wedding and and were looking forward to our visit to this place but were somewhat disappointed... I ordered a burger Medium Rare and it came out damn near burnt to a crisp... My girlfriend ordered a gyro and it was just ok . In my opinion if a cook can't even get a burger correct then maybe he should be looking for a new line of work... The owner was friendly and told us he was a graduate of a Culinary school so maybe he should stop socializing with everyone and either cook or train his staff a little better On a good note, the servers were on top of my list... Friendly, helpful and on the ball

Staying at the Massanutten Resort nearby, we came to see the Grand Caverns and wanted to eat beforehand. We found Lil Gus"s, it was perfect. We like to go to small businesses when we are in the areas around Massanutten. The food was delicious, we were greeted before even entering the restaurant. It's small but perfect for a local spot. It was exactly what we were looking for. Service is fantastic. Make sure you check them out when in the area.
Parking: Compact cars up front, SUV and bigger I think on the sides. I also suggest the tater tots and the BLT. It was perfect.

A tavern near Grand Caverns that serves excellent burgers and sandwiches. Good quality ingredients. Friendly, efficient staff. Inside can get a bit loud as it is a small room so sit outside if you want to talk. Would go again.
Parking: Larger cars & trucks need to park across the street. Small cars can park out front.

Our server was spectacular, the food was delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience (first visit) the only slight meh moment was the super drunk guy (I hope he was drunk!) singing loudly and badly at the bar. It was entertaining if nothing else lol

Wow, just wow… was not expecting to have such an incredible meal for the price…..it was so good and reasonable! This was such a great burger I was thrown off at how good it actually was. If I am this way again, I will 100% be eating here again.

We order the greek salad with chicken to go regularly from Lil Gus's. It's good, but the ingredients are inconsistent. Today, there was no dressing included; they used to put feta cheese on it, but haven't lately; sometimes there are greek olives, sometimes not. You never know what you're going to get, and it's not inexpensive. We will keep going back though.

Nice place. The burger i had was very good. My wife said her veggie burger was the best she'd ever had, anywhere. Milkshake was so-so, but it was still a milkshake, so no complaints.

The best atmosphere and food in the region! It was a diamond in the rough! We were out of town working and ended up here every day while we were in Grottoes. So many good choices it never gets old and there’s nothing bad on the menu. The smoked wings are phenomenal as well as the smash burgers along with the regular burgers. There’s so much more to say but you have to see for yourself! Tell Tabitha she’s the best of you see her!
