8 Best American Restaurants in Luray

“This was the most amazing food myself or my husband have ever had! Many many kudos to the chef! Very high end restaurant in a historic hotel. Make reservations as there is very limited seating options. Not a child friendly environment. Although we did not wear formal attire and they did not look down on us at all for our clothes, everyone else was dressed very formal.“

“Got the ribs and pulled pork plus some sides today. Excellent meats, smoked to perfection, tender and lean. The baked beans must be baked in the smoker as they tasted like it.The coleslaw has just the right amount of mayo and celery seed, not too much. Glad we bought enough for a leftover dinner too.“

“I was starving and ended up here—got the Italian sausage (basically a giant hotdog) and it was so good. The staff is super friendly too, which made the whole experience even better.

Only thing is… some of the customers ordering need to chill. Like, you wouldn’t talk to your boss like that, so why do it here? That’s definitely not on the employees though. I actually felt bad for them.

That said, this place is solid. I do wish they had more slushy flavors, but major props to the crew—they seem like they really enjoy working here. One guy literally talked about ice cream sprinkles for 5 minutes straight 😂 You can tell they hired the right people.“

“This is the ONLY place to get an Authentic Jess' Chilli Dog. All the food is the same as the original Downtown Harrisonburg location. Even the fries and the crushed ice for the drinks. Brings back alot of good memories! Will be back every chance I get!“

“FANTASTIC!!! For some reason this place did not show up when we looked perused restaurants on Google Maps. We just happened to drive by the Mimslyn Inn and found that The Speakeasy was open on a Monday evening in November. My wife and I both had the duck. It was delicious, so delicious that we ordered two desserts (we usually share one). Oh my! They were FANTASTIC!!! too.“

“This place serves some great pancakes, toast, juice, coffee and tea. If you are looking for a vegetarian meal and also stay in hotel nearby. Here the waitress are always helpful and respond to each and every customer query and also give free refill of coffee too. I would recommend this place for a morning breakfast meal and also serve lunch and dinner.“

“Circa 31 was DELICIOUS! We were touring Luray and stopped in for dinner. Had the Filet Mignon and the duck and we agreed it was one of the Top 5 places we've ever eaten. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality. 5 stars!“

“Awesome family run restaurant and bar in Luray. Perfect for a bite to eat after spending the day at Shenandoah. The staff is very welcoming and gracious and the food is just as good.“
