“While the presentation of the tasting menu was impeccable, the flavors were lacking. The room and bed were cozy, but the toiletries provided were basic, which was disappointing considering the high price per night. The limited breakfast options of oatmeal and yogurt were also underwhelming, especially considering the inn's attached tasting menu restaurant. However, the front staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, the experience at the Blue Rock Inn had some positives, but there were also areas that fell short, particularly considering the high price. For this kind of price point a walk in shower, better toiletries, and more amenities are expected.”
“Ah, the delectable Chicken Philly, a feast worthy of a grand banquet, did indeed satisfy my appetite after a thrilling sojourn into the cavernous depths. A custard shake so exquisite, I would traverse a hundred leagues to savor its delight!”
“For my mom’s birthday this weekend, we four kids and our sweet spouses took her to Osteria Maria for dinner. It is a little gem. The service was lovely, and the presentation beautiful. Between the nine of us, we tried a lot of appetizers and I’ll admit, that grilled octopus was delicious. All the entrees were authentic and mouth watering. It was a great experience! We look forward to visiting again and again ❤️”
“Absolutely delicious cupcakes! Super easy to preorder on their website. Fast response time. These cupcakes look very special AND they taste amazing! Highly recommend!!”
“Delicious breakfast platters and scrumptious pancake specialties, with friendly service. No fuss no muss. It’s unfortunate that I don’t live in town, otherwise I would frequent this restaurant for daily breakfast.”
“I love this little place in town. Always quiet and cozy. My favorite is the vanilla cinnamon latte. Food doesn’t start until 930am so if you’re here early and hungry, you’re going to have to wait a little bit.”
“Great first time experience! Read all the great reviews and decided to try it out. Started with the chicken chili and bread basket. It was one of the best Chicken chili dishes I've ever had! Great combination of sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy. Followed with the tandoori mixed grill, momo, and chicken Tikka masala. The tandoori grill was served on a sizzling skillet and was amazing! The sauteed onions and cabbage it was topped out was my favorite! The Tikka masala was outstanding, and every single bit of it was finished. The sauce was on point! The momos are like Nepalese gyoza if you've never had them, and the filling and dipping sauce are packed with many middle eastern flavors. Lastly we finished with the carrot dessert, which was the perfect flavorful ending. Our server was extremely serious, so we joked with him to smile more, which helped him open up. He was also very attentive to fill up our waters and deliver our food. Overall a great experience.”
“The crab cake super platter is "disturbingly good"!The meal started with a side order of hushpuppies and melted butter. One can tell immediately they were hand made on the spot and fried to perfection.Next came the platter...The very large shrimp were fried to a perfect light brown in color. Butter and sauce are available.The crab cake is something to write home about. Seriously, there are zero-point-zero fillers or binders. 100% lump crab. Buttery smooth and delicately spiced. The sides of mac & cheese and the potato salad were a nice accompaniment but stand in the shadow of the crab cake.The price may seem high, but this is no joke and worth every penny.The open kitchen and casual atmosphere are at odds with a meal that should be served on fine China.”
“I came by for lunch with my friends after Luray upon a recommendation and had a good experience! I ordered the jumbo pork sandwich with green beans and apples as a side.The food came out quickly and was wonderful! It definitely wasn’t the cheapest, but you do get what you pay for. The apple cider donuts are also delicious and I’d recommend trying some.One gripe I do have is that they almost make you tip even though there aren’t any servers. The payment interface makes it tough to not put a tip.”
“My husband and I had a memorable time at the Hopkins Ordinary Inn. We were greeted warmly by the innkeepers, Caryn and Robert who took the time to walk us through the property and answer our questions about the surrounding area of Rappahannock County. The room was very comfortable, immaculately clean, with a fireplace. It was a short walk to our delicious memorable dinner at Three Blacksmiths. Caryn and Robert prepared a delightful breakfast with homemade muffins and eggs. It was a perfect experience topped off by the homemade chocolate chip cookies that were waiting for us in our room. Kudos and thanks to Caryn and Robert for making our visit so special.”
“My go-to breakfast place never fails to impress. Their menu boasts an array of fresh and delicious options, all prepared quickly and served hot. The prices are unbeatable, making it a budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality. Plus, the staff is attentive and friendly. Did I say.. all day breakfast? ;)”
“I was looking forward to going to Poppy’s Place, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere and employees were very welcoming. I enjoyed the Reuben, and an incredibly delicious cookie—key lime. I look forward to going back and trying some of the other dishes.”
“Royal Spice - A Fusion of Flavours and Warm Hospitality.Royal Spice is a remarkable Indian and Nepalese restaurant that left me thoroughly impressed. From the inviting ambience to the exceptional food, every aspect of my dining experience was superb.The butter naan, chicken Momo, veg momo, chicken tikka masala, and tandoori chicken were all outstanding. The naan was perfectly fluffy and accompanied the flavorful dishes beautifully. The Momo dumplings were a revelation, filled with succulent chicken or a medley of fresh vegetables.What set Royal Spice apart was the personal touch of the owner as well as professional chef, Mr. Janardhan. His warm demeanor and genuine passion for his craft added an extra layer of hospitality. The attentive staff and well-curated music further enhanced the overall experience.In conclusion, Royal Spice is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable fusion of flavors and warm hospitality. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit.”
“Amazing food! The burritos are fantastic. Others in our group got the chicken bowl and another got tacos. All said theirs were fantastic. I'm pretty sure I heard it was way better than Chipotle! Can't wait to go back!”
“It is the best ice cream place in Front Royal(and in USA in general). The workers are very helpful and friendly. Ice cream flavors are amazing. My favorite is coconut ice cream. My kids enjoy this place for a cute entertainments inside as well.”
“The place is very welcoming and clean, staff is very friendly. They have a dog patio which is fantastic. The food was delicious and while our service with a tad slow, it was still a great experience. The pork fries were amazing, the Frickles were so crispy and they snapped when you bit them. The burger was juicy and flavorful and the fries were bomb. 10/10 on the food flavors!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Try Thai in Front Royal, VA, and it was an unforgettable experience. The broccoli and mushroom tofu, alongside the yellow curry, were simply the best I've ever tasted – each bite was a perfect blend of flavors that left me wanting more. The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment, providing a lovely backdrop that perfectly complemented the meal. What truly set Try Thai apart, however, was the service. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff were unparalleled, making us feel welcomed and valued as customers. Highly recommend Try Thai to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Front Royal.Dietary restrictions: The multiple vegan options here are stellar.”
“A better than average burger and full bar restaurant. I got a design my own lamb burger with broccoli. Nice that I could get some kind of vegetable instead of fries. Very decent food. I'd stop there again.”
“First timer here. After hearing many glowing remarks about the Apple cider donuts at this establishment, I made the 1.5 hour drive out to Linden, VA. Walking in, it reminded me of your classic general store on steroids. There was a little bit of everything from signs with cute sayings to a variety of hard ciders from across the state. There are two areas where you can order food. Head to the right where it is less crowded and sit at the bar. I went with the staff's suggestion and ordered the Grilled Cheese sandwich with Brie, bacon & apricot jam with a balsamic glaze that came with French fries. That bacon jam was so good that I ended up walking away with two jars. The apple donuts lived up to the glowing reviews and I could see why people make the drive for these treats.”
“DELICIOUS! Not only delicious but great service. I needed a birthday cake the same day and was able to get a delicious carrot cake for my husbands bday within a few hours of calling. I also got a pecan sticky bun and omg, the best sticky bun I've ever had. This will be my new bakery for now on!”
“Me and the wife were able to visit yesterday. Food was beautiful and tasted amazing. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was spotless. Seating was a little cramped, but that is minuscule compared to such amazing food. We’ll definitely come back again.”
“Great service. And genuinely nice people. We showed up on a Saturday morning on a whim with 6 people. 2 lovely gentlemen moved so we could be seated together. It was much appreciated. We enjoyed our breakfast and the relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.”
“Amazingly delicious barbecue, really no wrong options on the whole menu! The owner was present and friendly as well. Everything you could ask for in a locally owned business!Vegetarian options: They had several options for a vegetarian in our party- rare at a bbq place!Parking: Convenient large lot, had no issues parking”
“Very nice milkshakes and ice creams!Not too sweet like most of the large chains and better value for the price!!!Highly recommend if you are passing by this area!”
“Winery with a great vibe and variety of wines, very chill and relaxing environment, an excellent place to spend the day eith daily and just enjoy each other's company.You will not be disappointed!Make sure to try out the flight!”
“Dining at YamaFujia always satisfies my cravings because of how well they prepare ramens, which consists of savory broth filled with springy noodle plus fresh vegetables , boiled egg ... Their Gyoza appetizer doesn’t disappoint either. Katsu also flavorful!!!”
“We came here to enjoy a wonderful birthday for my mom and all the siblings came. There was wonderful food and a great atmosphere. What a great place to come and spend time together in front Royal Virginia! Wonderful service and amazing food! Visiting Front Royal? Cometo Castiglia's and you are in for a treat!”
“This place is amazing. The new location is great the servers are so cool. Joy is awesome. And the gentleman we had tonight is great as well. I forget his name. Works part time in the kitchen but tonight was severing and did amazing. We will continue to come back here. The host was sweet too!! Didn't catch her name though.”
“My husband and i have been going here since we have met years ago. We have tried probably almost everything on the menu and none of them have been a bad experience. The man who serves us every time is on top of it, whoever is cooking behind the scenes is a magical chef. We have nothing bad to say about this. We have tried multiple different thai places, in the city, other states - This is by far the best thai i have ever had. Disregard the bad reviews, not sure what they're trippin on.Food: Phenominal, never any complaints. EVERY time.Service: AWESOME. F.E - The server had a full house and was the only one working. He was on top of EVERY table. Noone had to ask for anything. He knew when people were ready for to-go boxes/how many of them, checks, refills... i hope he gets the big bucks. I have never had a server so diligent like him.Addition to the recommended dishes section: Spicy crab fried rice, spicy basil rice, ETC”
“What an amazing find in the middle of rural Virginia. Interesting, delicious food, friendly, attentive service. And a beautiful environment. I'll be back for sure.”
