Restaurants in Staunton

“We just had an excellent dinning experience for our family Christmas dinner. Staunton was a greet meeting spot for our family to all gather. It was all perfectly done. Even though we had some guests show up late the staff was super accommodating and attentive. The food was excellent. I had the best short rib dish I have ever had. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a very delightful cream sauce. The mushroom ravioli was also excellent. All portions were generous but also balanced. The service was great all the staff was so pleasant and everyone seems to enjoy what they were doing. The wine was excellent and the bar made excellent classic cocktails including a manhattan. Everyone should try Queen City bistro! I can’t wait to come back!”

“I have been here multiple times and I always leave full and satisfied. I have never left here without having made a new friend. Between the guests and the hosts the experience is always top notch but feels like home.”

“Our first time here and it was wonderful! Staff was very attentive and the food was awesome. We will definitely be back!”

“Tol Tol! Ausgezeichnet! Sehr gutes Essen. Great restaurant to go to visit and eat. One can also speak German with the owner too.”

“Can't say enough as to how good the food, service and atmosphere is at the Mill Street grill. We had the trout and the prime rib both very nice. Salad was very good. Drinks were perfect! Wait staff over the top!”

“The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The crab legs were very tasty as were the shrimp and oysters. The service was top notch, friendly, personable, prompt, and conscientious. This is not the same ole Sysco BS you find many other places. Highly recommend!”

“Having our annual Dolled for Dinner at Chop House Tavern tonight and it was absolutely amazing! Food: fabulous! Service: spectacular! Angela was awesome. So were the mashed potatoes, stuffed meatloaf, asparagus, and chocolate cake. I'd never had a ginger bread martini before, but I know I want to have another one at your restaurant. And I only live a frw blocks away so this may be my new happy hour spot. Tonight was our first time there but we will definitely be back. 5/5 stars.”

“Last night we had a family meal at Zynodoa, there were 11 of us. There are many restaurants who like to say they are Farm to Fable sourcing locally. Zynodoa is Farm to Table! Starting with the excellent service by Sarah and the wait staff. The starters, the main dishes, the sauces. "Par Excellence"”

“We just enjoyed lunch here ! Wow! Fish and chips were delicious! Blackberry cobbler awesome! Our server Addey was fabulous! So glad we stopped in!! Great place to dine!”

“great people, great food!! they took care of us beautifully! stop in with them, you will not be sorry!”

“This could be the best place in town. The steak, chicken pot pie, crab cakes, mignonette … Beer is cold and the taps are clean. Service never stops. I don’t know if they can be beat.”

“absolutely wonderful, food was imaginative, and wonderfully made, plating was sensational..just cant wait to go back.”

“I had a lovely experience at The Shack. Our waitress, Ash was very helpful, friendly, and gave great recommendations. My catfish dinner was superb and I really enjoyed the hand pies - reminded me of hometown fair food, only elevated.”

“Juliette has a way of capturing the essence of her subjects through beautiful bright colors. She is also an amazing instructor!”

“I am a recent new member of this fine group of folks. They really give a lot to the community.”

“My husband and I had dinner at the red lobster in Stanton Virginia on the way to a family reunion The food was good the service excellent staff very friendly if I were passing this way again, I would definitely stop a second time”

“We recently celebrated one of our son’s birthdays at Massaki’s, it was amazing!!! Great food and atmosphere. The chef was personable and server’s were friendly. If you want a special place to eat and make memories this is the place!

Dietary restrictions: If you are allergic to certain foods they will cook your meal specifically for you, instead of on the grill.

Parking: Lots of parking spaces even though it was crowded.

Kid-friendliness: The chef and servers were very welcoming to children.”

“The staff here is amazing and friendly. The food is healthy and FABULOUS! Great place to SHOP and EAT. This is my new favorite breakfast spot for when I’m in town. I highly recommend it!!!”

“I hadn't had much Salvadoran cuisine before and this was an amazing intro! Everything was very well-prepared and clearly homemade. The pupusas were really flavorful and the horchata was authentic. The waiter was also super polite and friendly and the prices were quite reasonable. Wish it was closer to where I live because I'd go back!”

“AMAZING. Had the peanut butter gelato and the chocolate sorbet... Both fantastic. They have an array of so many to choose from. Get a sample to pick your favorite. WONDERFUL!!!”

“Great place, hope to be back soon ! Like former professional wrestler the late Billy "Red" Lyons used to say "Don't you dare miss it"”

“Just finished a great lunch here. We settled in outside, Calvin took our order and shortly brought it to the table. A warm summer drizzle added to the ambiance under the wide table umbrella. After the second bite, the torrent hit and Calvin appeared to hustle us and our meals indoors to dryer accomodations. Thank you, Calvin for great service!!! And the chef is appreciated too as the food was first rate.”

“We needed a yummy place for lunch for visiting adult grandson and dog. Very yummy food, easy parking, short wait, accommodating staff. Close to Gypsy Hill Park, another great dog friendly spot in amazing Staunton.”

“I bought several pastries and drip coffees. They were all excellent! Right from the start, the exquisitely unsweetened Pain au Chocolat proved these people are serious about what they do. The Danish are beyond what this poor little soul can describe. HIGHLY recommend!”

“Great and tasty food have a really good time!”

“Dinner was later than usual since we were out in town. Tried a new place for us! Grilled Chicken salad, Chef Salad, penne pasta with meatballs and the pizza was just because we had to try it! 😆 It was DELICIOUS!!! The salad was extra fresh!! staff were very nice!! We will definitely be getting food from there again. If you are in Staunton, check them out! Great being on the western end too!! 😋”

“My husband and I were in town for the Virginia Scenic Railway and stopped at Kathy’s before our trip. The food was delicious, and the bread pudding was absolutely incredible. What truly made our visit unforgettable was Debbie, our waitress. She was so genuinely kind and warm that she literally brought me to tears. She shared that she works part-time for her customers and said that had she already been retired, she would never have met my husband and me. That really touched my heart. We left saying we would gladly make the three-hour drive back and we would absolutely return to Kathy’s. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience we won’t forget.”

“I was visiting family last weekend. We ordered takeout out. Got 3 pizzas a Caprese sandwich and the Tuscano soup. There are not enough descriptive words to say how good this food was. No one should live or visit Staunton and not eat here.”

“10 out of 10 the best pastries!!! Came across this business on FB a few days before a field trip to Staunton, VA for my daughter. Field trip day was Thursday and Giancarlo is only open for retail hours on Friday’s and Saturday’s. I was so bummed, but I sent a message to see if they would let me make a special order for Thursday pick up, and they did!!! We ordered three tarts. A chocolate raspberry, a chocolate espresso and a lemon. AMAZING!!! Giancarlo uses the most delicious chocolate I have ever tasted! And the lemon was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. This bakery is a MUST visit!”

“EXCELLENT sandwiches and services! This was our first time visiting and could not have been more impressed with this restaurant. My husband, who is incredibly picky and hates trying new things loved his Italian sandwich so much he got one to go. Our server was able to suggest a wine that was also delicious. Will definitely be going back!!”

“I have a sweet spot for the barista named Lindsey ❤️”

“Amazing “Bee Happy” latte with oat milk! Really the best coffee I have had anywhere. I am visiting and noticed their little sign on the corner for drive thru coffee. So so glad for thiis coffee shop!”

“I visit this place once if not twice a week. 32oz $7 draft is amazing. #18 chicken is my go to every time. Portions are on point for the price”

“Great food. Wonderful tastes.”

“I ordered a birthday cake and some gluten-free cupcakes from Magdalena’s. Alba was so helpful in suggesting options for the cake, especially since I wanted a photo added to the top. The icing was amazing, the cake tasty and moist, and the mousse filling divine. Everyone at the party complimented me on how good it was. My GF intolerant guests loved the cupcakes. Highly recommend.”

“Great service and friendly staff. Always staffs go to for our lunch break.”

“I absolutely love Micahs! The staff is always so sweet and fixed my coffee even though it was totally my fault. I won't go anywhere else now ❤️”

“The BEST Macaroni Salad around! Kevin is such a nice man and always a pleasure to deal with. Food is ALWAYS fresh and hot!”

“Great ice cream and customer service”

“Great food, enormous portions, blindingly fast service, extremely nice staff! 🙂”

“Welcome back to the neighborhood! The renovations look great, so glad yall are back open again! And I dont know what you did with that steak in that breakfast omelet I just had, but that was some of the best "breakfast steak" I've ever had. Recommended, hands down!”

“Delicious cooked to order Thai food! My mom and i went while here for a conference nearby. The steps can be a little tricky getting to the actual restaurant so take extra time if steps are hard for too! Everything was made-to-order. The Thai tea tasted like actual brewed tea, soups/ spring rolls, curry, everything(!) was wonderful. The evening we were there, I think just a husband and wife team were running the front and back, both very kind and helpful. Would definitely go back!”

“My favorite breakfast buffet.”

“My first visit to Marino’s since the renovation! Boy was I surprised! The owners have done a fantastic job with the decor ! The bar area is very inviting and the outdoor seating area is spacious with comfortable chairs and couches . I was there for a Friday night jam session and I wasn’t disappointed. A wonderful feeling to relax to live bluegrass music enjoying Marino’s signature hamburger with sweet potato fries! I also ordered the pimento cheese spread as an appetizer….which was the best! The staff were very personable and made me feel welcomed . I would definitely stop by Marino’s for the food and entertainment .. you will not be disappointed.”

“Yummmmm…. Everything is so fresh and delicious! Super nice folks!! Check it out! 🙌🏻🙌🏻”

“After a 3 1/2 yr covid break, we have renovated and are back...better than ever ! Open 5pm - 2am”

“Best Mexican food in Staunton!”

“The food is delicious and good service!”

“We loved this place and were very surprised there weren't others stopping in on a Friday afternoon. It is well worth the trip away from downtown. Great variety of beers with lots of tasty options for all beer drinkers. The bartender, Connor, was a great bartender and super friendly and enjoyable to talk with. We will absolutely be back.”

“Excellent sandwiches, perfectly made and very tasty!”

“Let us speak, for a moment, about Wright Dairy Rite… First—an incident so deeply disturbing it is difficult to recount. The owner (JIM) of the establishment allegedly behaved in a profoundly inappropriate and predatory manner toward an underaged boy while the child was working at the dish station. During this encounter, he uttered the unsettling remark, “I like the way you wash those dishes.” The gravity of such conduct cannot be overstated. The boy’s father was reportedly informed, yet no meaningful action followed. One cannot help but question how such silence could persist—whether through negligence, fear, or something more insidious. Second—the general manager (Jamie) presents a deeply troubling presence within the workplace. Described as erratic and morally compromised, this individual has allegedly exhibited a pattern of sexualizing and making inappropriate remarks about underaged girls working in front-facing roles. It raises a distressing question: are these young employees being hired for reasons beyond professionalism? Furthermore, there are claims of substance abuse by the GM, specifically involving meth, (information known by) reportedly supplied by a former employee during work hours. While not directly witnessed, the manager’s behavior is said to reflect the instability and agitation often associated with such use. Third—another incident reveals an atmosphere not only toxic but overtly hostile. A line cook supervisor, known as “Chancellor,” who is reportedly a convicted offender, ( what a surprise ) is said to have repeatedly used racial slurs in a demeaning and aggressive manner. These remarks were allegedly directed at one of the very few Black employees, including commands such as “get down on the ground n-,” followed by the slur. The cruelty and degradation embedded in such language are undeniable. Even more disheartening is the claim that this behavior was reported—yet no consequences were enforced. Once again, the general manager was informed, and once again, nothing changed. Taken together, these accounts paint a picture of a workplace steeped in emotional distress, misconduct, and a profound lack of accountability. To exist in such an environment is not merely difficult—it is psychologically damaging. Something must change, whether through new leadership, external intervention, maybe just after reading this passage, or a long-overdue reckoning within. May justice, compassion, and truth find their way into this place. Sincerely,�Beskermer PS- Multiple employees can back me up, some are actually still working there currently ! Great ice cream though!!!”

“We ordered 150 mini cupcakes for my MIL's 90th bday party and they were a HIT!!! Everyone raved at the flavor combinations. No one could agree on their favorite: the red velvet, the mint chocolate, the raspberry, the cookies n cream, lemon, and more! What people loved most is that the icing wasn't too sweet so people could try multiple flavors. We picked up friday for a the saturday party and they were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!”

“Great food. Great service”

“Great beer selection -- many IPAs to choose from. The back beer patio is dog friendly and you can walk around back and right into the area -- there is even a exterior ordering window with fast service. Friendly bartender also quickly brought out water and treats for my bestie. Another worker also stopped by to say hi and make sure my dog got her treats!!”

“This place feels like home! Comfy seating, attentive staff. Look forward to making the trip again soon!”

“A good place to get coffee or other fancy drinks and food! 🥯 🥪 🍪🌟⭐️”

“Driving through Staunton, VA on my road trip and wanted Chinese. Stumbled on this place through GPS - it was hot and delicious!
Ordered the Pupu platter - satay and wings were delicious and the dumplings so flavorful. (Other items good too) and the sesame chicken was plentiful and just what I wanted.”

“I absolutely love this place! Hands down BEST pizza in the Valley. I send everyone here! I love the staff as much as the food! Thank you for being top notch!”

“Awesome local Italian restaurant. Menu full of your favorites. Subs , pizza, and dessert all are very very good.Super friendly staff .Support your local restrictions family”

“A nice cafe that is open early - and the sandwiches are served all day. This fact pleased my son to no end! I had a very smooth mocha and the banana bread, which was soft and moist. i would have been happy to have had seconds of that!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“First time here a couple weeks ago. Didn't realize they had a drive thru, so I parked, went in and ordered to-go. Ordered the 3 Hot Dog and a drink special. Offered chips but I didn't need any. Good service.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“I like that it's cost affordable, and it has the right amount of space and the cheese melts perfectly..”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Wonderful woman with so much personality cooking delicious food. Try the iced coffee and red curry! So delicious.

You won’t regret stopping here!”

“Usually good. Lately the drive thru struggles to get the order accurate somehow. I.e. -ordered 30 grilled nuggets, received 8 breaded nuggets. -order a berry parfait, received a copy of apples and mandarins only If one person gets consecutive wrong orders, others probably also did; it’s worth mentioning, not to shame but to hopefully give urgency to improve”

“We had played a show last night in Verona Moose Lodge 2172 and we stopped in like we aleways do afterwards. We were starving after playing 4 hours and the food and the service were awesome!”

“Our go-to place for a delicious sub and stromboli, and the kids love the pizza. Seriously one of the best spots in Staunton for a quick and easy family meal or to just grab some lunch for yourself!”

“The new Tropical Smoothie near Pizza Hut in Staunton has the BEST employees! Gianna and the rest of the entire staff have been amazing, kind and respectful every single visit! They make my smoothie just right every time and always give me the last lil bit for my 2yr old niece. Thats customer service! I appreciate them and look forward to going again and again for double blended avocolada 🥑🥥🥬. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”

“My friends and I stopped by for a little rest. Our orders were done well and the donuts were fresh. There were no napkins in the dispenser but a very nice lady promptly got them for me. The sitting area and bathroom were clean. Thank you for a pleasant experience.”

“If you don't know the backstory, sheets started putting locations up in Wawa's territory. So now anywhere you see a sheets, they're building a Wawa. Guess the executives at sheetz shoulda been more focused on the quality of their existing stores. Wawa is better in every way!”

“The pancakes were so light and fluffy! The waffles smelled delicious, I wish I left room to try one. The waitstaff were so friendly. We were visiting from out of town and they made great recommendations for shops and places to visit.”

“I am a trucker and have been to the location in GA, IN, and VA. Every time the food is fresh, delicious, and it's so much healthier than usual truck stop fare. I would love to see Naf Naf expand and be in more locations especially around SW Ohio. I think Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus would all be markets that they would excel at. When it comes to fast casual there really is nothing like it. Dude EVERYTHING is good here! Can't go wrong!”

“The server/order taker was a little robotic but got the job done. The star here is the food and the ammount you are given. We ate off the food for three days. I got hibachi chicken and the wife ordered the soba noodles with chicken. We ordered the crab raggoons, tempora shrimp and drinks. All in all we really liked the food.”

“Unfortunately lately I have been somewhat disappointed in Cracker Barrel. I used to order a grilled chicken, bacon and cheese on sourdough bread so good! It is no longer on the menu 😢 For awhile they had tator tots as a side for breakfast no long available 😢 they have a broccoli casserole as an up side? I ordered the pot roast bowl and the casserole as my side, when I got my bill I was charged an extra $3.89 cents for the casserole when I asked why I was told it wasn't on of their normal sides so I had to pay extra, I can understand an up charge of maybe a dollar but having to pay for it separately at full price was very upsetting 😡 which actually meant I didn't get what my meal come with another side. The biscuits used to be like an appetizer now if you don't ask you don't get you are not giving an option. They no longer fix omelets for breakfast? I feel they are taking so much of the old fashioned food and your lucky if you get a good waitress but you can see a lot of them standing around starring at the customers? Not one of my favorites anymore 😢”

“Nice clean Arby's.
Pleasant employees.
Somehow managed to have the best chicken cordon bleu sandwich I've had from an Arby's.
Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.”

“From 2 people who are not from this state while stuck here. And we lived in NJ most of our lives. Across from the bridge from Philly! You guys got the Best Philly Cheesesteaks I've ever had. I might go as far as saying They're better than Philadelphia! We love your Cheesesteaks and Cheese Fries! Great food. Great atmosphere. Wonderful employees!”

“Found a roach in my food. Good bye Great Wall!”

“My lifelong friend/sister introduced me to her friend, Sarah, who owns Baja Bean Co. Before getting into the wonderful dining experience that I had at Baja let me just say a few words about this beautiful lady of joy. As she walked towards me, the light and energy around her was so bright I felt that the sun itself was coming to meet me. She greeted me with a warm hug and a smile that lit up the neighborhood! As a soulpreneur/seelsorger I have been with many healing people in many healing spaces and I can promise you that you will have a calming, healing experience in her presence in this space. This seemed to be known by all of the occupants as each person that entered was welcomed unconditionally as family and the atmosphere felt like a loving home. Now to the food...OMG...the food!!! Every single bite was perfection! It is all made from scratch with fresh local ingredients and unique tweaks that cannot be found anywhere else. The flavors are beautifully balanced and decadent. This is not your average Mexican fare. I could eat the homemade guacamole at every meal. I had the falafel tacos...mouthwatering!!! Then...yes...then...even though I was stuffed...I had to try the fish taco...and yes I ate the whole thing because it too delicious! (AND THEY OFFER LIVE MUSIC!!!!) If you are in the Staunton area do not miss a visit to Baja Bean Co and if you are not in the Staunton area....get there! The experience will soothe your soul, calm your spirit, bring joy to your heart and bliss to your belly!”

“Bartending staff is first rate. I met Claire 13 months ago and return regularly. I'm not the only guy she knows by name, and the other bartenders know their regular customers. Because of the awesome staff, the cooks seem to be paid well and send out solid food. Only hit is that food is unbalanced. Sometimes, I get a salad with grilled chicken that is flowing over. Sometimes, one meager strip of grilled chicken. ☹”

“I liked cook-out in Staunton Va until today when I found out they they hair long black hair coming out of their onion rings. Last time we will go there.”

“I have some food allergies and the ladies always remember to wash their hands and change their gloves before making my sandwich.
The two usual nighttime closers (tall blonde lady and a shorter girl with glasses) always say hello and ask how I'm doing. They make quick weeknight dinner pickup a lot more pleasant than a drive thru.”

“3 friends and I had lunch there today and it was great. The food was good and Janisa gave excellent service. When she didn’t have customers at the register she was checking with people in the dinning area to make sure everything was ok and wiping tables . She helped make our dinning experience more fun.”

“Great place to eat food is always hott friendly staff”

“Excellent service and selection 😍”

“Came with a group of friends for lunch. The place was nearly empty. Service was good, facility was clean. But the food.... I had bones in my salmon. I'm not sure what's with everything Cajun. Not a lot of options for spices. Portions are mediocre in size.”
