9 Best Burger Restaurants in Staunton

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

“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!!!“

“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 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.“

“I’ve been to this Applebees a few times, but today I had the best service imaginable. Huge thanks to our waiter, Matt. I was with my deaf grandparents, and he was super friendly and respectful of the fact we had to take a little more time to order and communicate. Food was great, the only miss was with the pickle fries, they were a little burnt, but that’s ok things happen. Atmosphere was good, pretty clean as well. Again huge thanks to Matt for being a super chill dude and being super patient and friendly. 5 stars.“

“I had the pleasure of being helped by Tammy Evans at the Burger King in Staunton, Virginia, and I have to say-she was eXceptional. Her customer service skills were absolutely phenomenal. Tammy greeted me with a warm smile, took the time to make sure everything was just right, and went above and beyond to make my visit a great one. It's rare to see someone take that much pride in their work, and it truly made my day. Burger King is lucky to have her! I hope she is recognized for her friendly attitude and excellent personality because it is rare to find this in the fast food industry nowadays.“

“Had a mishap with my debit card and the young man and young lady running the drive thru were absolutely wonderful! Beautiful attitudes, friendly, bubbly, and so helpful! Can't speak highly enough about them! Food was hot and accurate; service was great“

“I've eaten there on several occasions and I always enjoy it. Yesterday was exceptional, though! There's an appetizer I usually get that I've ONLY seen offered there - a Caprese Panini. It's an open faced round roll with the mozzarella, basil, and tomato you'd expect, but they broil it to get it all melty and tender! It was great as usual. They also serve the traditional caprese salad. I also ordered the eggplant parmigiana. Unbeknownst to me, it came with a big salad, a nice heap of spaghetti with tomato sauce and some mozzarella on top (I've never had pasta served topped with mozzarella! I hope this becomes a trend!), and 2 nice, light, kinda biscuity bread rolls. The eggplant parmigiana and spaghetti were served on the most enormous platter I've ever seen that was meant for a single person! Which is to say that the portion size was EXTREMELY generous! As hungry as I was, I didn't get even halfway through it all! It was not only last night's dinner, but today's lunch and dinner too! And the price was extremely reasonable! I gotta start going there more regularly! 😊“

“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.“
