9 Best American Restaurants near Luray

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had a fantastic meal at the Speakeasy Bar. We booked a last minute trip to Luray to hike in Shenendoah so didn't book anything. We thogurj we would chance the Speakeasy and, although it was really busy, the lovely staff managed to squeeze us in on the terrace.

The food and wine were really lovely, exactly what we needed after a long day hiking. My steak in particular was delicious, as was the Virginia Cab Franc wine we tried. As mentioned, all the staff were great, but a special shout-out to our waiter Kevin, who was fantastic. Although it was really busy, he still was able to take his time with us and helped with our orders and wine recommendation and also recommended hikes for our next day. A real pleasure to meet!

I would very happily recommend this restaurant, very good food and prices, especially on Saturday for the steak. Thanks all!“

“The staff made us feel welcome from the start . They went above and beyond to accommodate us and our service dog . The food was excellent and large portions . Tammy Ponn , Genea Gray and our cooks Ed and Heather made us feel right at home . Even gave us some great tips on where to visit“

“We just got back to Texas from a great stay at the Mimslyn Inn! We absolutely loved it there and hated to leave. It is a beautiful place with a great staff, and was super quiet at night (unlike many hotels we've stayed at. Highly recommended!“

“The views are so outstanding. The staff was friendly and professional. Had the pork shank which was good but those grits were the star. Get the blackberry compote dessert and chose the blackberry ice cream. This combo was the star of the night“

“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.“

“We had a very enjoyable experience at Big Meadow’s Spottswood Dining Room. We ate out on the deck with magnificent views of the valley and the sun beginning to set. We make it a point to try unusual menu items so the peanut soup was a must-do. It was interesting, something we’d try again but maybe not often. The beef tips and trout were very good. We were staying at Skyland but Big Meadows was a nicer dining experience.“
