It's a cute little firefighter-themed restaurant with decent food at a reasonable price. We usually try to stop at a local restaurant after church, and this place always seems to be busy. This morning, our service ended a little earlier than usual, so we decided to give it another try. The restaurant was only about half full when we arrived, but it still took quite a while for someone to greet us and get our drink orders. The food itself was decent, and I really think this place has potential. My honest opinion is that they may need some extra kitchen staff to help keep up with the orders, especially when they get busy. The wait can take away from what could otherwise be a really enjoyable dining experience. I definitely don't want to discourage anyone from trying it because, like I said, I really want to love this place! I just wouldn't recommend going in if you're in a hurry or expecting a quick meal. Hopefully, with a little more help in the kitchen, the service will catch up with the demand because this little restaurant has a lot of potential!

Great scenery of the mountains (though mostly of the golf course). The interior is a little dark/gloomy, but the view out the windows is a dream! The food was also pretty good! We had the blackened tuna bites appetizer, which was the real standout. So tender, so well-seasoned. Really excellent. I had the fish sandwich as my main with sweet potato fries. Both tasted great, and the portion size was reasonable. We were impressed at the extent of the menu and the range of options for people with different dietary needs and preferences. We'd be back for sure if we find ourselves in the area again!

Service was friendly and excellent. Menu is so tough because there were so many amazing looking options for lunch. They even have rotating daily lunch specials. The theme is New Orleans style cooking and from what I heard about the family, it's legit... From what I tasted, it's most definitely amazing!! I loved the spice and overall flavors in my food. Starting with their BBQ shrimp - this is a large appetizer that was so tasty! The shrimp was perfectly cooked and very fresh. The buttery BBQ sauté was spiced and herbed up perfectly too. It comes with plenty of toast points to dip and sop up that sauce too!! My main dish was their Alpha Girl Po Boy - WOW!!! This was INCREDIBLE! All ingredients were perfectly fresh and perfectly seasoned! The entire sandwich came together amazingly well and was so darn tasty! I even like that they hollowed out a portion of the crown of the baguette to let all that amazing stuffing fit inside without falling out and being a mess. And their homemade, freshly cooked potato chips were incredibly tasty too! I can't wait to return and most definitely will... Highly recommend stopping in!

I've been eyeing New Iberia Kitchen for a while now - as I love Cajun cuisine…read more I finally got to try some of their food on a Sunday. Apparently, currently the only day of the week they offer Brunch is on Sundays. I showed up about 11:00 am. The place was full of diners - so instead of waiting for a table, I sat at the bar. It's not a large bar - I'd say it seats approximately 9-10 people. I ordered the Boudin balls - which come with a tasty dipping sauce called "Swamp Mustard." I also ordered the Cajun Omelette - which is stuffed with "smushed Boudin balls." Comes with a side of rather unexciting breakfast potatoes. The Boudin balls were tasty - and had a nice crispy texture. The Swamp Mustard is really good with the balls. The Cajun Omelette was rather ho-hum - I was expecting and hoping for something with more complexity and heat. The smushed Boudin balls were rather bland. The Omelette was cooked properly. The breakfast potatoes were unseasoned. I'd like to try out some other menu items - I'm hoping for something that will Wow me. Paid with Apple Pay. #NewIberiaKitchen

After a day of spelunking...of sorts...we were ready for dinner. Before heading out to Luray, I…read moreresearched what restaurants were in the area. Circa '31 stood out as they had burgers, salads, sandwiches and some main courses. When we decided to go there, our son-in-law looked up the directions and we were pleased to see it wasn't far from the Caverns and an easy drive. The restaurant is in the Mimslyn Inn and is easy to find it once inside. Since we were having an early dinner, there was only one couple in the place. Our server seated and greeted our party of six. We sat at a huge table that could accommodate twelve. She arranged things so we were seated at one end. She took our drink orders. We all had soft drinks. I was pleased to see that they had sweet iced tea. Along with our drinks, we were given a bread basket and some butter with chives in it. The bread was fresh and the butter added nice flavor. For my main course, I got "butternut squash ravioli and lobster". This was a great dish. It consists of: "Butternut squash and parmesan ravioli with sauteed lobster and asparagus in a tarragon cream sauce". The delicate flavor of the butternut squash came through clearly. While the parmesan barely registered, that was fine with me. The tarragon cream sauce had great flavor yet it didn't overpower the components of the dish. The lobster portion was generous. Three in our party got the "Country Ham BLT". It consists of: "Fried salt cured Virginia ham, fried green tomatoes, crisp lettuce, pimento cheese on grilled rye served with a pickle and seasoned waffle fries". Those who had this sandwich raved about its flavor and its uniqueness. More than once they said how much they liked it. Two got the "Mimslyn burger" which consists of: "6 oz. local Burners Farm ground beef burger, lettuce, tomato, thick sliced red onions on a toasted brioche roll served with a pickle and seasoned waffle fries". One could add cheese for no extra cost and had a choice of different cheeses. Two added American cheese to theirs while one chose no cheese. One decided he didn't want fries and the server told him he could substitute a veggie from the selection in stock. He chose collard greens as he never had them before and wanted to try them. Everybody liked their burgers and fries. The one who got the collard greens didn't like them. To me, they looked bland and my guess is that was why he didn't like them. We didn't have dessert even though the offerings were tempting. I had hoped to post more photos but one of our grandsons offered to take photos of the sandwich, burger and collard greens...but...they didn't come out. The dining room has that southern charm to it. Our server was very nice and since it was slow when we were there, she engaged us in conversation. If you are in Luray and looking for a good spot for dinner, we all highly recommend Circa '31.

I took one sip and said I'd like to send it back (probably the first time I have ever asked to return a drink in my life). They charged me for the drink anyway. Ordered the duck. The mashed potatoes were good. The broccolini was acceptable, and the duck (ordered medium-rare) was medium-well done, and incredibly disappointing. My husband ordered the chicken. The chicken was acceptable, as was the broccolini, but the couscous was flavorless and gross. I would not recommend going here.

No drama, arrival was great, we were professionally great and promptly seated. Decor is a traditional older house in the dining room and porch, and traditional pub in the back. There was a live singer who covered a wide range of music from the 60s through today, music could be heard in the dining area but was not overwhelming; nice background music. The staff was young, friendly and well trained, they listened and delivered. The food was great, the wedge salad was huge and two of us split it. I can recommend the Irish sausage stew as an appetizer, bangers, potatoes, carrots, greens and a great broth. The pub burgers are great. One is had a filet special that was excellent. They have an extensive selection of whiskey that is fairly priced as well as some good signature cocktails. The crème brûlée dessert was delicious. Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back when next in the area.
