    Fun decor
    Jami B.

    Came here tonight before we visit JMU tomorrow. Loved this place the minute we stepped in the door. The music is good, the service is super friendly, there is so much to take in with the decor and the bar, the food is delicious and the prices are great! I had the Hardywood Great Return draft IPA - yum! The sticky nuggs are amazing breast meat and piping hot and the perfect amount of sauce - the OG sweet chili sauce was awesome. There is easy street parking nearby and there are fun shops around, highly recommend this spot!

    Came back a year later and still doesn't disappoint. This place is our go to burger place. Prices are super reasonable and the food is delicious! The waiter was very attentive and the place was even kid friendly with the high chairs. We were so happy until a few hours later we all ended up with food poisoning. This was the only thing we all ate that day so we definitely know for a fact that it came from here. Very disappointed especially because we loved it so much.

    Screamin Mimi sandwich was good. Chicken was fried perfectly and honey siracha sauce was great. Buffalo wings (half size is 5 wings) were standard. Came at 4 on a Saturday, plenty of tables were opening but it filled up fast by 5. Service was quick. Love the vibe and overall aesthetic.

    This is the whole place.

    Fun little place. It's a dive, but in a fun way. Dollar bills stapled up everywhere. Seating circles a bar. Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. At 11:45 the place was already filling up. We shared two sliders (fried chicken, and burger with Mac and cheese), served with fries. We also had the stick shrimp. Plenty of food. Yummy. Service warm and friendly

    Billy Jacks is a JMu staple. I graduated in 2014 and loved the many times I enjoyed the famous "sticky nuggs" from here! Ambiance is very laid back, bar scene. Drinks are good! I got the peachy keen and a mimosa! I've only ever had the sticky nuggs with the sweet chili sauce so it's all I can speak to on food, but those in themselves earn 5 stars! Served in a Chinese takeout box, you can't beat it! Service is quick and kind!

    There is always such a good energy in Billy Jack's. I went during Christmas time and decorations were so cute. Also their food is so good. I mixed and matched my sliders - one leghorn and one Wagyu beef with fries on the side. Delicious!

    Perfect college town place. Atmosphere was great. Nothing fancy but very nice server and great service. Not busy but steady. Some locals some not. Great beer board (I know distributors force someone to take Elysian so I will not fault them for that). The food was fantastic. Great place to hang out. Will be back

    Knowing this place is part of a chain, I was skeptical when a JMU grad said come here for burgers. Parking can be a chore since that part of Harrisonburg downtown has monopolized paid parking, but it's right next door and just $/hr! The parking app sucks! Walk-in side BJ's and I felt like I was home. Truly your neighborhood hole in the wall bar with $3 PBR draft and full bar with happy hour specials. I was floored by how good the bar food was and our waitress was delightful. Parents, this should be your hang out when visiting your DD and it's technically walkable from Villages. I love BJ's and you can buy the shirt when you're there!well deserved 5 star.

    Started with a couple of nice ice cold pints of a brew called purple haze. (Name only ). It was very good. I like to start a draft of my reviews while on site but got yelled at by my granddaughter for being on phone lol. But I know I had the wings which were great, my granddaughter had a B-Real burger which she devoured and my wife had a grilled chicken Sammy. We were all satisfied and left happy Service was great and the atmosphere too Thank you

    The food comes out fast and is always the perfect temp! It can be very crowded on the weekends after 6 pm, so be prepared to wait most times. Seating is either high-top tables or bar seats. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but sticky nugs and sliders are a must!

    If you are in Harrisonburg, this place is a MUST. It is a staple of this area and so good. They are a small, cozy vibe bar / casual eating spot with both good drinks and good food. If you go, you have to get their iconic Sticky nuggs or some sliders (burgers are so good here) They also have a good selection of beers on draft, a cocktail menu, and a shooters/shots menu. Definitely the spot to go on weekends.

    Stopped by Billy Jacks on the way through on a road trip and it did not disappoint. Their fries are my favorite type as they are thin and super crispy with seasoning. I ordered the sliders (the mac and cheese one and the chicken one) and they were very good also. It was the perfect amount of food for us at the time. Our waitress was helpful and kind and quick to refill drinks. It was also awesome that the place was decked out for Christmas making it a super fun atmosphere.

    I have to say, this was the coolest place I've been to in a while, and yes I am a boring person. My daughter went to school in this town and had frequented this place often. It was my first time here. The place isn't very big. The service was awesome. Semi loud in the joint. Lots of locals, which you know its good then. The server took the time to explain everything to us newbies. The wife and daughter got the sliders. I got the chicken sandwich. I think the best part was the loaded fries and chicken nuggets for appetizers. The beer and G&T are both good. I am so going back to this place when I'm in the area.

The hotel is clean, modern, and reasonably priced, but honestly, the real highlight is the Ridge Room. After a long day on the road, I really don't want to get back in the car to find dinner, so having a rooftop restaurant just steps from the room is perfect. The mountain views are great, and the farm-to-table menu is always interesting. We've eaten here several times, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently good, and the bartenders know what they're doing--the drinks are just as solid as the meals. It's one of those places where the menu might not immediately grab you, but once you try the food, it all clicks. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to.

I have found the front staff and the wait staff to be lacking in their consideration towards restaurant guests. It seems that they are picking and choosing whom they choose to grant a great experience to. Service: The front staff and waitress we had carried an air of attitude when dealing with me and my family. It seemed like they were not keen to accommodate a few of our basic requests which essentially boiled down to laziness. To be honest, they are very petty when it comes to getting a table on their rooftop...when my family (of 5) came in, they told us it was first come first serve and sat us inside. Another family came in with 3-4 adults and 2 kids after we were seated, to which they promptly moved them outside even though they were inside as well when a spot opened up. I'm not truly understanding the mentality of service here and frankly thought for a nice establishment there would be better decorum and attitude towards guests. Food: overall pretty good. I found the food and drink to be solid. In summary, the food is good here but doesn't surpass the service we received.

    We were visiting Harrisonburg for the weekend and after looking on Yelp for a good place to have…read moredinner on a Saturday night, we decided on Capital Ale House. Lots of prom kids and college students filled the place. We were quickly seated in a nice booth and Nate our server helped us with some stout beers. We had a milk stout and a caramel macchiato stout the latter of which was the best. Looking at the menu I have to say it was not your standard ale house fair. It was definitely "elevated" in this regard. We asked to split a 2 soft shell entree with broccolini & seasoned mash, a bowl of crab bisque and a pierogi sampler. We also asked for an extra plate, to which Nate said he would take care of it. When the food arrived it was divided perfectly. Nate had split the bowl of soup into 2 small bowls and he divided the entree and sides onto 2 plates. The soft shell crabs were HUGE, the largest I had ever seen, and crisply fried to perfection. The sides were equally exquisite in their flavor and preparation. The crab bisque was loaded with fresh lump crabmeat and perfectly seasoned. The pirogies were also excellent in flavor and presentation. It was the most satisfying meal I'd had in a while (could be because I was craving soft shells) Needless to say we were very happy with the food in every way and were stuffed as we asked for the check. Nate/Nathaniel really made the experience as he was highly attentive, though caring for many tables, and was quick to take care of our every need. The place was really rocking with customers and everyone there was having a great time. We'll definitely be back and let everyone we know what a top notch establishment Capital Ale House in Harrisonburg is.

I used my napkin to sip it up and she said she'd go get me a new one. Never came, so had to ask once our food arrived. 3 burgers and fries at the table but no ketchup. Had to ask that to be brought over. Wedge salad - worst I've ever had. Tomatoes were almost white and had less taste than a cucumber. The tops weren't removed so had to cut away brown tops....bacon was cold and rubbery, not crisp at all. Green apple slices were small maybe 1/8 of a small apple. My wife had the Mexicali salad...chicken was sparse and very dry. Had to search to find a couple jalapeño slivers. Burgers were ok, fries were not crispy. Finished with the electronic pad that you are forced to tip while the server holds the unit in her hand. Does anyone, besides the workers, appreciate this awkward moment?? Overall food was not good, beer was warm, service was inconsistent at best. We have 2 capital Ale houses near us at home which are decent, but won't be returning to the Harrisonburg location.

It's worthy to note that I asked for salt & pepper, as there was none on the table. It takes a really confident chef to not have salt & pepper on the table. So of course, I tasted first.
