Adam Caldwell brought out a pack and play and sang my baby to sleep with a lullaby. After this, he offered me a free oil change and tire rotation as he held my hand out to my car.

“This place is incredible. The atmosphere is slightly speak-easy-esque. The staff is knowledgeable, engaging, and truly seems to care about the customers’ experience. We came here after getting married earlier today and passing through Harrisonburg on our way to our destination. We needed dinner and it was THE RIGHT PICK. Michael, our server, and Steph, a manager or a GM equivalent, were seriously the BOMB. Soo accommodating and kind, and cared about our evening. The spicy Marg … insanely satisfying. CRAZY kick of flavor without the straight burn of something that’s spicy just to BE the spiciest. The tincture that makes it spicy is made in house. Amazing! And the spicy burger … also incredible. Truly a MEAL. Thank you for making our night the best! -Stephen and Katie“

“So, I’m from Connecticut and lately been to a Texas Roadhouse location there I wasn’t happy with. Today, I came to your location and everything was delicious, hot and amazing! Lovely staff and excellent service!“

“We have ordered from this company for so long… I can’t even tell you, it’s been that long. We order at Thanksgiving and Christmas each year. It was first Heavenly Ham Company. They have always provided excellent food. ONE year the ham was not up to par…which was shocking and they delivered a new ham right to my door without hesitation…never expected that but they went above and beyond to make sure my family had the perfect ham for Christmas Eve. It was just a fluke I’m sure that happened. I’m sorry I have never give. a review… life gets busy and crazy. We appreciate you all being in our area. We travel about 30 mins but worth every minute and bite. Merry Christmas Harrisonburg Honey Baked Ham Company. God Bless… see you on the 23rd. ❤️✝️🎄“

“My wife and I had a great night out at the Longhorn in Pasadena, MD last night! Food was great! Clean restaurant! Attentive service. But, NO Coffee? Restaurant was open till 10pm. We were seated at 9pm. My wife and I want a cup of coffe at the end of our meal and we were told they can’t make coffee? The bar was open, though? Why can’t Longhorn have a Keurig coffee set up for the 1-2 coffee drinkers? And I can’t be the only one? I’ll think twice to eating at Longhorn in the evenings.“

“Dec. 2023, we had our worse restaurant experience ever. My past review still shows here. After my review, we got a call from Applebee's asking us to give them another chance. I said no way because that visit had been us giving them a second chance. Eventually they offered us a large enough gift card that I took it. We just got around to using it and everything was good. Seated right away, service was excellent, low volume music was enjoyable, food came out quickly, and the food tasted good. We will be going back.“

“This Steak 'n Shake is located on James Madison University Campus in the D-Hall building. The menu is limited, but it has the essential Steak 'n Shake items - burgers, chicken strips, and milkshakes! Prices are about the same as a traditional location. For non-campus members, visiting may be hard due to parking restrictions.“

“I absolutely LOVE this place! I will return every time I am in Harrisonburg.“

I had a really good experience at IHOP! Everything was on point from the moment we walked in. The food came out hot, fresh, and actually tasted like it was made right — not just thrown together.

Now let’s talk about the service… because BABY, they were on it! 👏🏽 Friendly, attentive, and moving like they knew what they were doing. I didn’t have to ask for refills, didn’t have to wait around — everything just flowed. That kind of service makes all the difference.

The place was clean, the vibe was nice, and overall it was just a smooth, enjoyable experience.

Definitely will be back… because good food is one thing, but good service will have me returning EVERY time 💯✨“
