11 Best American Restaurants in Luray

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Fantastic BBQ with Great Service!** As a BBQ enthusiast and pitmaster myself, I was thoroughly impressed with the food at Triple Crown BBQ. The hickory-smoked meats were top-notch, and the variety of sauces perfectly complemented each bite. My wife and her friend shared a sampler, while I enjoyed the Turkey Sandwich, which I highly recommend! Pair it with a side of beans and one of their delicious desserts—you won’t be disappointed. The portions are generous, and the pricing is excellent for what you get. The owner even made rounds to chat with each table, which added a nice personal touch. Definitely support this local gem!“

“I had a very disturbing experience of being talked to extremely rude to yesterday, when I stopped in for breakfast, with my Cockapoo, who IS a Service dog & is allowed to go anywhere I'm alowed...had the nerve to ask me WHAT my disability was !!! Which is ILLEGAL! THEN proceeded to tell me she did not BELIEVE she was a service dog! I even showed her my dogs ID card w her picture on it , she was blatantly rude to me, I'm sure she was the owner.. I will tell Everybody I know about her....she should Never be allowed to run a business ! three of my family members were Resturant owners, & they would NEVER have spoke to a customer in that manner. I have NEVER been refused service in the 3 yrs I've had my dog...shes been in MANY restaurants & in every store I've been in... this was not only unacceptable behavior on the owners part, but very ignorant & unkind....I've never eaten here & ONLY because of her disrespecting attitude, I would never refer anyone to give her any business. maybe it's time she retires if she treats other customers like this p.s. I know this is petty, but if you're going to work in public place , you should care about your appearance, her teeth almost took my appetite, sorry, but truth“

“What a great breakfast! Charming dinning room. Also, can eat out on the porch with views of the mountains. The service was exceptional! Friendly, efficient and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Large menu to choose from. Nice selection of tea to choose from. Great as tea drinkers are often overlooked in restaurants. We had a great breakfast experience! Highly recommend.“

“Reviews Jellystone Luray was a great trip with our family of three with an almost 3 year old (and two dogs). We booked this trip because it was kid-centered and only a 30 minute drive. It ended up becoming a favorite vacation of ours and one we will continue to book. We stayed in a Premium Loft Cabin (with the oven and screened in porch options). I am more of a “glamping” person than a rough it person and this was a great option! It was a great amount of space (we used the loft as a play area). I can see it feeling cramped if there were more adults that joined our trip. Things we loved: Golf cart rental. It’s hard to tell from Google maps and pictures, but our cabin was at the top of a big hill and at least a minute’s ride to and from the pools (easily a 20 minute walk with a toddler). The golf cart definitely made the trips to and from the cabin possible. Splash pad. My toddler loved the splash pad options and little “bubbler pool” while the adults had a blast in with the water slides. Great options for all ages. (I do wish the pool hours began earlier, however) Different activities. When we needed a break from the pool, there were plenty of activities to keep us busy. The glitter tattoos were a big hit (and surprisingly lasted 3-4 days) as well as the play grounds. My toddler became really interested in Yogi after seeing him at Gem Mining. We were able to book a bedtime story last minute and the staff really delivered a great time! It ended up being just us, and it was a highlight of our trip. Our little was starstruck by Boo Boo Bear. Screened in Porch: this added so much extra living space to the cabin. The ceiling fan and lack of mosquitos was perfect and will always be something we book moving forward. Where there were some cracks: We visited in mid-July, the middle of peak season, and it was apparent in the smaller details. Our checkin time was delayed by 90 minutes and the cabin floor was very dirty (as in needed to be moped but was swept clean) but these are small things in the grand scheme of our trip. (Every staff member we saw was extremely kind and working very hard; these things are just par for the course in my opinion). Things I wish we would have brought: Walkie Talkies (Verizon service was nonexistent and WiFi was decent only around the ranger station) Over the door towel rack (bathroom had one very small towel bar) More decorations for our golf cart/campsite. It was so fun to see other sites go all out with the Christmas in July theme. It was a highlight of my toddler’s to drive around in the golf cart to look at the decorations. Overall, I came into this trip with no expectations and left knowing this will be a new yearly tradition for our family! The views are picturesque, there was always something to do and the lack of cell services really allowed us to disconnect and enjoy each other’s company.“

“A wonderful restaurant for breakfast. I got the waffles with strawberries and it was so good! It was busy and the staff was making sure everyone was taken care of. Even through the amount of people, they were still very nice and made sure each table was satisfied.“

“I love this place. Great food, great prices, and a great staff! As with every other restaurant they can be short staffed at times but that has never affected the quality of food and/or service!“

“Good deck, with half view of sunset!
Delicious garden Italian pasta (white sauce and mushrooms), perfectly cooked.

The Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful—great meal!

Vegetarian options: Pasta, hummus platter, bread basket, Brussels sprouts.“
