wonderful wonderful wonderful. we stop every time going to/from NY to Fla. Local flavor, fabulous food. Gets crowded and closes at 8p. Wait some times is long but worth it. Old fashion vibe with wholesome great food. There's a Buck at every table...lol read more

Very good food, loved our waitress, definitely an older restaurant could use a good scrub and dusting and very dark inside.

Where do I even start with the Blue Stone Inn? At first glance, well...you might glance away and keep on driving, because it seems like one of countless little restaurants you might pass as you're zooming down a highway, focused on work, family, vacation, or other concerns. In fact, there's a good chance even I had passed the restaurant on more than one occasion. But don't do that, it's a huge mistake! Because as I discovered recently, every meal you miss at Blue Stone Inn isn't just lost deliciousness, it's an opportunity gone forever to break bread with friends and family in the kind of space that makes you long for a world that no longer exists - familiar, welcoming, old school. The Blue Stone Inn isn't fancy. It's rustic. And please don't read that as a criticism, it isn't. It's definitely nice. I realized I was vibing hard, loving the atmosphere, the people, the vibe. Service was prompt and courteous with the familiar feel you only seem to get in smaller towns these days. And the food - OMG. Most of us started with a salad and the house bacon vinaigrette. And the breadbasket - so, so good, but don't fill up on it! Because all the food is To. Die. For. We then quickly moved on to various steaks. My ribeye was insanely delicious, cooked perfectly, with an excellent baked potato to round out the meal. My dining buddies upgraded to the steak-and-seafood combos, which were apparently also quite good. I skipped dessert - too much bread early on. But the delicate, beautiful, generous slices of cake my friends had ended the meal on a perfect note. Can't recommend Blue Stone Inn enough. Be aware that if you go, it seems there are some homeless cats in the parking lot and around the restaurant. Super friendly, I suggest bringing some treats for them. I had some cat food in the car so they got a little dinner as we were leaving. Enjoy! read more

Blue Stone Inn - Steak, onions, baked potato. - Seafood Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Stopped by Blue Stone Grill recently and had a pretty good experience overall. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming--great for a casual dinner or catching up with friends. It's got that classic local charm without trying too hard. Service was friendly, . Staff seemed genuinely kind. He told me he had worked there seventeen years! Food-wise, I ordered on the light side. The French Onion Soup was hot but lacked flavor. I also had a salad. It was well-portioned and fresh. I also ordered the shrimp cocktail and it was not edible. Shrimp were small and rubbery. The menu has a nice mix of comfort food and grill staples, and prices felt fair for the quality. Overall, Blue Stone Grill is a dependable choice in Harrisonburg. Not perfect, but worth a visit if you're looking for a laid-back meal with good vibes. Just don't order the shrimp cocktail. read more

A definite favor, when in town. Fresh seafood, steaks, and house specialties. Food portions are gracious, service is excellent, and ambiance is dimmed and rustic lodge-like. So Sorry to have eaten meal before pics were taken. YES it was that good. Shrimp Scampi and Stuffed Flounder ( with all crab meat) were prepared exceptionally. OMG!! the French Onion soup was Amazing! Well worth a visit, preparation time, and the price.(it's not a hamburger joint) Treat yourself to this special place, YOLO!!! Oh did I mention, It's a local family owned restaurant... #Support Local Businesses read more

With a rustic, lodge like, comfy booth, or table offering, and dinner creations that are varied and exceedingly enjoyable for every pallet it is easy to see why the clientele are laughing and having a marvelous time! Phone reservations are very helpful here! Staff are amazing as even when they are swamped everyone is very friendly and thoughtful! This is a wonderful hidden gem with incredible dishes that beat out any high end culinary experience with their superb attention to taste and creativity! The James River oysters were succulent, boundless in flavor, and a perfect half shell appetizer. The corn chowder was full of delightful surprises, such as peas, potatoes and ham. The warm, flaky dinner rolls, were accompanied by a sweet maple butter. The jumbo fried shrimp were juicy with a crispy breading. The crab cake was limitless with crab, minimal breading, and expertly seasoned to accent not overwhelm the crab flavor. The mashed potatoes could stand on their own, not even needing a gravy helper! The cucumber salad with mayo, and onions were lightly seasoned with dill, leaving the crisp cucumber flavor to stand out. They offer many desserts and we chose a hummingbird cake slice to go. Banana nut, with an almond cream cheese frosting-Delicious!! read more

On my birthday I get to choose anywhere I want to go for dinner. This steak and seafood place is wonderful! My husband gets French onion soup and steak. But, for me I always get their sea food and their homemade hush puppies just hit the spot. I always get to have it that night and the next day. It's a romantic night out for my husband and I. The ladies that wait on us are always so nice. They seem to know just the right time to come and ask if we need anything. This restaurant is a very old small tavern. Very intimate, untouched, out of the way place, where the years has left this bungalow restaurant unchanged. I swear the locals keep a secret. If you're looking for amazing food in a quiet little out of the way place, then the Blue Stone Inn is waiting for you. read more

We love this place. Excellent all around. Go alone or with friends. Great bar, great table service. Oysters, salmon, or steaks. Oh I forgot chicken. 5 or more you can make reservations. Otherwise you may have to wait. Except for the bar. Check their website. https://bluestoneinnrestaurant.com/ read more

The best place you can eat under a buck!last of a dying breed of family run business that serves the best food.

Had the pleasure of enjoying a great dinner with my wife and some friends. It had been over 20 years since I had made the trip up to Bluestone and it was just as good as I had remembered. Food and service were excellent. Please never change its next to impossible to find a place like yours in today's world. read more

The last time we were there the service was really really bad and we waited far too long to be seated. And then they were out of some of the things we wanted. Never had this type of service there in the past. read more

Another gem! This place was surprisingly well done! Came in for dinner and left friends: the seafood is prepared well...while I wanted a steak and they were unavailable, it didn't stop the service from being top notch and the restaurant itself to make a rustic impression. If you are in the area, don't pass this place up. read more

space is small and was a little wait but you can sit at the bar while waiting for your table. Steak with fried oysters was what my husband had and he is still talking about his steak! read more

Amazing seafood! Great service. Good prices and portions!!! Give this place a try. You won't regret a visit to the Blue Stone Inn

Restaurant closed the past 3 times we came to celebrate special occasions... once there was a note left on the door, second time a last minute Facebook post and this time today, Wednesday, August 13th... nothing! Called several times with no answer despite saying on days they are open someone will be there from 12:30 on to answer phone. Which once was a timeless classic has sadly taken a wrong turn! read more

Visiting the area and decided to try this place based on reviews. Was definitely a good decision! Food was delicious and well priced. Very friendly and gracious staff. It was very crowded and loud party of golfers, but otherwise would definitely come back. I want to especially give praise to Chris our waitress who handled the busyness with so much grace. She even got our order in before the large party of golfers so we wouldn't be waiting so long. Very much appreciated!! read more

Nailed It! Holy hidden gem, Batman... This. Place. I can't believe Blue Stone Inn is in my backyard. I've been wanting broiled scallops for a while and they 100% absolutely nailed it. Actually, it was ALL excellent. Starting with the bread basket to salad and homemade dressing, crab stuffed mushrooms, broiled scallops and crab cake, NY strip, sweet potato, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw. Every. Single. Item... chefs kiss! Just go and have your socks knocked right off! read more

Wow! What a cool place. My wife and I always want to try something local and original. This place hits all the boxes. Quant little place with high quality food. I'm not a seafood eater so I ordered a NY Strip. It was incredible. Very enjoyable Our server was nice and friendly. Where else can you go that has 20 deer herds, three bears, two turkeys, and a pheasant on the wall? If you are looking for a place with some character, here it is. Really enjoyable. read more

Terrible food! The steak was completely unseasoned, the sides were inedible, the bread was stale, and they didn't even pack our baked potato in the to go order. I seriously wondered if they purposely gave us bad food because that would make more sense than the meal they provided being the normal course of business. read more

Blue Stone Inn - Gelatinous cheese substance on mushy broccoli. - Seafood Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

First of all, the food here is great! The seafood as well as the steak is well prepared. Their homemade sides and daily specials are always good, too. The salads are packed with lots of colorful vegetables and mixed greens. But we most enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly service. Come early if you can, because they fill up fast! I was recently there with some family I had not seen in a while. We stayed long after the bill was paid and the staff was so gracious and didn't rush us at all. They cleared the last of our plates and assured us we could continue to stay while they cleaned up. They made us feel so welcome and let us know they were most interested in us enjoying ourselves. We will be back again! read more

Crab. Stuffed. Trout. A small local spot thats a must visit when staying at Massanutten Resort. Its been here forever. You're Welcome.

This was a regular haunt for us twenty years ago. Visited tonight and it lived up to our memories. My wife had the crab stuffed trout...the absolute best we have ever had. I had the seafood broiler sampler. Crab imperial, scallops and shrimp. Great hush puppies. Three beers on tap included a very nice amber ale, Bud Light and another. Wonderful service and a great atmosphere. Loved it and we will return the next time we are in town. read more

The restaurant is small and you might have to wait, but it's worth it. They bring out bread and hush puppies to your table and they were excellent. We ordered the smoked trout appetizer and it was great. My wife and I ordered the fried seafood platter and ribeye steak to split with our picky eater kids. The seafood was fresh and the fish, shrimp and scallops were fried to perfection. My wife said the steak was great, it came with a salad and side. I highly recommend this place, the quality of food is totally worth the price! read more

Came here on a Wednesday night 8:00pm with my husband (they are white), mother in law, niece and my 3yo. I asked for a Heineken and was asked to show proof of ID (I'm Asian and I left it in the hotel by accident). I had two pictures of my military ID and Driver license on my phone to show them and they said "They cant do that". Meanwhile my husband and my mother in law asked for alcohol beverage, didnt have to show ID. I wouldnt recommend dining here at all. Not happy with the service at all. read more

Food just ok and they kept us waiting in rain outside for 15 min and didn't open on time

My coworker and I found this place on a business trip. We LIVE for fine dining and fancy food. THIS PLACE IS NOT THAT! We couldn't figure out how this place had four stars and deduced that it must've come from the business's family members. . The bread was ice cold in the middle, still frozen! When we asked to have it reheated, we were told that she was not allowed to put bread back into the oven or microwave it. We were brought some more instead, but this batch was just lukewarm. The ambience was dark and depressing with far too many animal heads looking at us. The menu selections were good however, what they actually had in stock was limited. The seafood tasted fishy, if you will, and the drinks were just OK. We do not recommend. read more

The steaks and seafood are fresh and delicious. A little pricy but a good value. I recommend it.

Ohhhhh myyyy goodnesssss!! What an awesome little oasis on rt11! We have been traveling interstate 81 for 30+ years and have never stopped here. We have been missing the best little restaurant, seafood as good or better than at the beach, and steaks you can cut with your fork. Our crab cake was huge and delicious!! We highly recommend stopping here for a meal! read more

What can I say. This is a jewel of Shenandoah Virginia. Plan to wait for your neighbors to finish and have a fabulous dinner. Many wonder choices. Very popular on Friday and Saturday so plan for Tuesday thur Thursday. On rt 11 just off I81 south below New Market. Five stars read more

This is truly a hidden gem and a fantastic restaurant. They have EXCELLENT seafood and steaks, but their duck is phenomenal. I would travel a far distance for their duck.

After years of saying I have to eat here as I passed Bluestone Inn I finally have and it was not a disappointment. A true jewel on Route 11, this place has survived thanks to its quaintness and good food. We ordered a trout centric meal, smoked trout plate, trout almandine and crabmeat stuffed trout and loved all the dishes. A couple of little things were distracting, too many bones in the trout for one of us and the smoked trout was still on the skin which made it difficult to eat. Overall the dinner was great. The hummingbird cake was a bit dry but that is because it was served ice cold, great taste just odd texture. It won't take as long to come back read more
