We went to this establishment for breakfast this morning. We had eggs easy over, scrapple home fries and toast. I have to say the prices are reasonable and the service by the waitress was great, however the food preparation time was horrible. We did ask to have the home fries and scrapple to be cooked crispy, but it took an hour and a half to receive our food after it was ordered. We almost drank a pot of coffee while we waited and there were several others who came in after we did who ate and left before our food came. Not sure what took so long, but definitely not acceptable. read more

Terrible experience ---ordered 2 Salisbury plate lunch's. Side's were macaroni/cheese and mashed potatoes. Asked before ordering if the macaroni and cheese was home made. She said quote ''everything is home made''. We'll it wasn't. Food looked and tasted like a nasty microwaved TV dinner. Served with ''one'' slice of toasted buttered bread (not rolls). Didn't eat but a couple bite's, paid the $31.20 bill and left. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great little Diner. We drove an hour to eat there, 3 days in a row, it was so good. Best soup I've ever had (Vegetable beef). Ambiance is very friendly and homey! Cook and wait staff are wonderful and fun to talk to!! Can't wait to go back! read more

Small place, big on taste! This is a great little spot with a hometown feel. True to its name, there was a table full of men sharing local news with each other and enjoying an easy banter of one another. I chose the breakfast special of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, home fries and toast. My husband chose the sausage gravy over a biscuit and an over medium egg. We were both very pleased with our meal and found it to be the closest to home cooking we have found in a while. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, but the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. My boyfriend and I as Black diners noticed that most of the patrons were white and some of the older ones watched us as we ordered which made the experience uncomfortable. Despite this the quality of the food was excellent. read more

Definitely has the small diner vibe with counter service and orange booths, which I like. Friendly southern home-town service with country music playing. I had a garbage omelette and rye toast which I enjoyed. If you like simple diners, you may enjoy the Grub and Gab Diner. read more

Based on reviews I decided to stop and try Grub & Grab for breakfast since it's close to Massanutten. The diner is small, has a country feel and was filled with locals. Given the surrounding area is farm land, I thought the recycled feed bag curtains were a cute touch. The staff was very friendly and the service was good. I ordered the ham, egg and cheese on a biscuit. It was tasty, hefty, filling and inexpensive. My whole meal, coffee included, was less than $10. Overall I'd give this place 5/5. read more

Friendly service, reasonable prices, delicious food. What more can we ask for? Small, local diner that focuses on getting the basics "just right". Get the Dilly Burger, it's perfect! Lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, ketchup, onion, jalapeño, pepper jack cheese. read more

STAY AWAY AT ALL COST! This place is a tiny little hole in the wall diner whose owner must be the cook with a HUGE terrible attitude if you, the customer, don't like something. That's not the way to run a diner. I ordered a BOWL of grits ($3.50) with CHEDDAR cheese. They delivered a small bowl (the size used for condiments and side dishes) of grits. I specifically had a conversation with the server to ensure the cheese would be cheddar and she assured me it would. They served a shredded MIXED cheese of cheddar and who knows what white cheese. I had already stirred in the cheese before taking the picture, but you can clearly see some white cheese on the spoon handle. I decided to inquire about the cheese and small bowl size and that's when it all hit the fan. I asked the server to take it back and remove it from my order. She said "I can't take it back." When I told her that I would not pay for it, she went to the cook and said, "Mama, she said she's not going to pay for the grits." Next thing I know, a woman (the cook) comes from behind, swoops by the table, snatches up the grits AND MY WATER! and keeps briskly walking to the other end of the restaurant. On her way back, I confronted her about taking my water and all hell broke loose with her lecturing me. When I told her she didn't need to have such an attitude, her response was that I had an attitude from the moment I walked in! Then she just continued to loudly fuss at me. I was done being berated and treated like dirt. I left. BUT, one of the points she made sure to state, was that tax was included in the prices already on their menu. Then, when the other person who was dining with me left, his order was $10.75 on the menu, was supposed to include the coffee and taxes. They charged him $13.00! Whatever. Not only was his food "just okay", not up to "good" even, they yell at their customers and then overcharge them terribly. Lastly, their menu items are deceiving as well. They are selling orange juice for $2 a cup and it turns out it is SunnyD (less than 5% real juice). If you care about what goes into your body, this definitely isn't the place to go. Leave this place to the local yocals and find a real restaurant that actually cares about what they serve and how they treat the customer. CAN'T SAY YOU AREN'T WARNED. And, to respond to her reply below ... she is wrong. I'm usually very tolerant and happy with most things. She is trying to make herself look right and me look bad with those comments. Not surprised after the experience I just had. By the way, the hot chocolate, which was NOT supposed to be charged, since I didn't stay to drink it, was only $1.50 (same price as coffee ... that I asked to sub for). $10.75 +1.50 = $12.25. How is that $13? I'll leave it there. Like I said, can't say you aren't warned. read more

Hot fresh coffee and made to order breakfast with love! The owner works hard to put out great food. I would of thought this diner had been here for decades. The sense of community in the diner made us come back the next day for more. Very cheap for good quality food. Being a couple of tourists from out of town, the diner banter made us feel like we were in a movie set in the old south! read more

Someone needs to update the business hour on Yelp. My family and I went there on Wednesday (12/28/2022) at around 10am and it was close.

Highly recommend stopping in! Local spot, great atmosphere, fast service. They split tips, be sure to support the cook and serving staff. read more

Elkton's Grub & Gab Diner - Breakfast menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elkton, Virginia

Food was good, very local. Food cooked to order so be prepared to wait but it worth it. I had the chipped beef which was good, daughter had ham and cheese omelet which was very good. Very small we had a group of 5 so we had to split up but its ok. Not a bad place but I've had better. I would like to come back and try other stuff. Just cause its made to order local food. Very busy, loud and cramped. But again small town local. The town is beautiful. The staff was nice but you could tell that they didn't really care for out of towners. Not that they said anything or did anything, it was just that feeling that they could not give a crap what you thought. read more

Amazing customer service, good food and great coffee! Love the old diner look and feel. Will definitely come back.

Love the food here! Not to mention the service is great, Crissy and her team are wonderful!

The place was recommended so we decided to try it. At first glance we hesitated because it appeared to be a small truck stop for construction workers, truck drivers, etc. We were not sure if we would feel comfortable eating there but we ventured inside anyway. We were immediately made to feel welcomed by the female owner. We were not disappointed by the food. It checked both boxes for quality and quantity. We would return again if we are in this part of Virginia. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the place was clean but really could use a facelift. read more

What a cool little place. Really good diner food and the nicest wait staff around. My new favorite breakfast stop.

My husband and I were driving through Elkton when we spotted this cute diner. We're all about trying new places once! We got breakfast items, and let me tell you, the biscuits were the best thing I've stuck in my mouth. We love it, and will find it to be our new breakfast place to eat at. I would recommend !! read more

This is a small diner that offers family friendly service. Very clean, and comfortable. I was taken aback by how big my biscuits and gravy were. Very nice place! read more

Delicious breakfast/lunch served all day long! I love visiting here every time I visit the Shenandoah Valley!

We loved this little diner. Good food and very good service. We ate breakfast and found it very tasty and affordable.

Delicious food and great service! Small, local spot that provided the exact experience we were looking for after a successful few days of backpacking. Try the scrapple! read more

Fun place...especially when the powers went out! Cool local spot, good food, great service. Interesting folks.

BEST BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES EVER! If you are hiking the trails or kayaking the river, I suggest loading up on a good 'ole fashioned breakfast here! My Momma always said to find where the locals eat and you will find the "good eatin'"...She was right about that! Visit the Grub & Go... and the coffee is always hot! It is clean and has a friendly atmosphere too. read more

Really really good food. Service not so much. Make sure to be on your toes when calling or coming in to place an order. If you loose track of time and call to place an order, they will laugh at you instead of being professional. And lots of conversations can cause delays in service. Again, great food and will continue to get my orders to go to avoid a talky atmosphere read more

Yum! Breakfast was very good. Chip beef gravy and sausage grave. Always full coffee cup

This used to be an excellent place but a recent incident involving a rude waitress changed my good opinion. Food is good and fair priced but without decent service my time here is done. read more
