Everything you could ever want from a classic diner! I got the chicken fried steak and my friends got the omelets. For sure going back next time I am in the area. read more

Hold's it own by diner standards. Ofcouse when your in at 430am there is rearly a line or wait. Fast, friendly service. Club was like mama would make at home. 24hrs cant beat that. Two for sit down $20bucks! read more

Impossible to say how the food is Walked in and greeted with a disgusting sewer stench. Smelled like a port a potty or an open sewer. We left. Unacceptable. read more

Best French toast! Quick service and consistently good food.

They should light this place a bit more--I thought for sure it was closed when I pulled into the parking lot. But it was open, and I'm glad I made the effort. The fried chicken was excellent. Everything on my plate was fresh and served promptly. The Frost Diner is about as old-school as it gets--I liked the decor and the people, but the food has to meet the mark, and on my visit, it certainly did. read more

The place is kind of old so it has a smell. Other than that the food is decent. It reminds me of a homecooked meal. The milkshakes here are soooo good. The food isn't special, but its an old place. The food is satisfying, especially when you don't feel like cooking dinner. read more

I'm not a person that usually gives reviews but I thought I needed too. This place is reasonable priced and also has a vibe of a old timey restaurant arent like this anymore it's cash only but they have a ATM if you forget. I recommend the hot cakes and home fries. read more

I lived in Warrenton for most of my life and whether it was classic americana breakfast when I was a kid. Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee and milkshakes when I was in high school, or that special place that serves corned beef hash and blueberry pie at 4am, Frost Diner has and will always have a speical place in my heart. I urge you to go order up whatever your heart desires, thow a quarter in the jukebox sit back and relax in one of Americas true last standing original style Diners. read more

Both the food and the service are inconsistent here. We eat here about every six weeks. Sometimes the food is great and arrives right away. Sometimes you wait a very long time. We generally order the same thing and come at the same time. They no longer have waffles. And Fox News plays constantly. When the food is good, it's very good. But if it weren't for the fact that my husband loves this place I'd probably cross it off my list. read more

Seedy. Dirty. Pool of water outside of men's room. Blasting rap music. Waitress out of American horror story. No credit cards. Food was suspect. We went out of our way to get there. What a mistake. read more

Awesome experience! If you get to sit at the counter you kinda get a show along with our meal - the chef was pretty amazing to watch - he was one hard workin' man! Took a little while to get the food but you figure the place is packed on Saturday morning and one person is cooking for everyone in there to order. Wait staff were helpful and attentive. Good value - 3 of us ate for $20. Definitely a fun time and a real old-fashioned diner! read more

Well...it's a retro diner. If you sit at the counter on the back (and butt) breaking stools, you might get lost in the "diner experience," but if you're sitting in a much more comfortable booth, you get a view of the Burger King across the street - pick your poison, as they say. The prices are cheap and the portions are within reason. It's small and intimate. The service and cleanliness has improved drastically over the years. They were the only 24 hour establishment in Warrenton when I was younger, and to this day, they still have those hours, which is a plus. They only take cash, so be sure to bring some. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are not going to blow your mind, but the nostalgia, convenience, and familiarity make us come back. Side note: use the bathroom before leaving your house. read more

If you want cafeteria style food warmed up in a microwave, this is the place to find it. Not good.

We frequently visit this place and have excellent service (usually morning weekend hours). Today, a Saturday, we got there a little later than we usually do. We sat for an hour waiting for a grilled ham and cheese and an omelette. We saw a number of tables come and go while we still waited. Asked about the timing, the server said ours would be up in 2 minutes. After 5 minutes I got up to check the grill. Nothing resembled our order. I sat and waited a few more minutes, got up and asked again. The server said our pork chops are going on right now. We didn't order pork chops. She said our ticket was third in line. THIRD in line! We've been there an hour. I began to complain and one of our (favorite, usually great customer service) workers there told us to go to McDonald's. I told him we have enjoyed coming for breakfast and were really disappointed with the service today. Apparently service falls on their face come lunch time. read more

Great staff, atmosphere and excellent diner breakfast! Cash only. read more

A Warrenton institution. I've been coming here since I was a teen and over the years, it has a special place in my heart. Nothing like a Frost Burger and Onion Rings after a night out at the bar. read more

Best diner ever. Worth the wait. Very friendly people with great food. I'd go out of my way to go back there!

This is a favorite hang out for me and my friends. Cash only, we know this and simply remember to bring it. I don't think you can dock a tiny diner for that. It's not the cleanest. If you're small minded and super health conscious, don't come here and, honestly, don't waste your time with a review. The food is filling, good, home- cooking. The bald cook is my favorite. It's pretty quick. The inside needs renovation, but eh, who cares. It's saved our butts from a slight buzz after a night out. Come here, eat some grilled cheese, be happy. That's how this diner works. My favorite is the Country Fried Steak. Don't bother with the T-bone if you're looking for something big. Breakfast is ALWAYS DELICIOUS, the french toast is superb. If you want some cheap, easy, home cooking, this is the place to go. HOME COOKING is the key word here. Don't expect anything more than what you would cook at home. :D By far my favorite restaurant in Warrenton, though. I'm sick of chains. read more

My boyfriend and I love triple D so we were looking for a hole in the wall secret gem and happily stumbled across Frost Diner on a random road trip while vacationing in VA/DC... all I can say is we're still talking about how awesome it was - even drove an hour the next day to go back for more.... Definitely recommend the diner - especially the biscuits and gravy. read more

Went in with my mom a few weeks back. It was raining outside and the ceiling was leaking water over the grill and on the food. They rigged up a tin-foil gutter (that didn't work). and just kept on cooking. By the time I got my BLT, it was soggy. Freaking nasty. I'm sure some of the people reading this review know who I am. I've been coming to the diner for years. Usually, I have my daughter or boyfriend with me. Due to a traumatic incident a while back, I do not like to go out alone, especially at night. I had my dog certified as a service dog (for anxiety/ptsd) so she could go with me when I am by myself. I only recently discovered I could have her certified because my doctor suggested it. I have her identification and know the laws regarding service animals. The diner broke this law one night when I was out with my dog. I walked into the diner and the waitress stopped me and said "The owner doesn't want that dog in here unless you have a note from your doctor. You've come in before without it so why is it with you now?" I explained the situation but, wound up being kicked out because "We can refuse service to anyone for any reason." Tell me that's not a load of crap. I won't be visiting this dump until it gets straightened up. read more

Solid diner food. The waitress was a sweetheart. Though there were a bunch of guys at the counter who obviously were regulars, the staff made me feel just as welcome. And they didn't complain that I, who was eating alone, opted for a booth instead of the counter so I could spread out with a book. So, though it's not the kind of place that makes you say, "wow, that food's so good I can't wait to eat there again," it was an altogether pleasant experience. I'll be back. read more

Good old fashioned diner, opposite of hip. Solid diner food for a good price, served quick by a very pretty young woman in a room full of the sort of people who do not take pictures of their feet at the beach. read more

The bad part first: I suspect that this location has a pipe or drainage problem, as there was a slightly bitter odor in the air. So, one star off... BUT: everything else was EXCELLENT. -Atmosphere: classic, old-fashioned diner with country music in the background. Very clean in the dining area. Many upholstered booths. Comfortable and fun. -Service: Nicole was delightful and strove to make everything perfect. She succeeded. All servers should be so gracious and thoughtful. -Food: outstanding diner fare. Perfect fried chicken (a house specialty-- do try), excellent grilled cheese/tomato sandwich and cole slaw. (Not all that easy to find a good grilled cheese/tomato sandwich these days.) Excellent beverages: we received our Diet Coke, iced tea and water in tall glasses with a moderate amount of ice and generous slices of lemon perched on the side. The beverages were at a perfect temp: cool, refreshing but not icy. The way beverages tasted and were served when establishments cared about details. -Prices: extremely fair: $20 served two generously. Note: CASH ONLY. read more

Stopped in Warrenton on the way to the outer banks. Diner was across from hotel and open 24 hours. I got the meatloaf sandwich special with mashed potatoes and gravy. Meatloaf and gravy were homemade and excellent. The potatoes tasted kind of instant. Overall great little diner with good food and friendly service. read more

Perfect stop on the way to Charlottesville for a tasty breakfast. Crispy bacon, fried potatoes and French toast all recommended.

We ate here for lunch about a month ago. It was quick and it was good. We ate here over a year ago and had forgotten about it. We had breakfast then as we remembered after we went inside. It was good, nothing much different than what you'd get at home. So it was good and cooked just right. What more can you ask? Well the booth seats are about done, as when you sit you're pretty much at plate level. But that is all a part of the ambience of a diner I guess. All in all, we'll go another day soon I hope and enjoy it all over again! read more

Ordered a club sandwich. Bread was charred, and it was fairly tasteless. I'd asked for mustard instead of mayo; I had no mayo, but no mustard, either. Chips came with it, but they were scanty. Service was okay. Sad to say, I'm not likely to return. read more

I know a lot of people love this place, and I'm not one of those people who just goes and trolls bad reviews for every good restaurant. I hate those guys. My in-laws love this place and go there a lot when they come up to visit us from Charlottesville. Because they recommended it so highly, we decided to go for lunch one Sunday. I guess they're just very nostalgic about old diners. This place is dirty, the booth was horrible and falling apart, the service was abominable, and I ate what was literally the worst hamburger I have ever tasted. So freaking disgusting- the food and the place. NEVER again. Could be so cool, but is SO not. Gross. read more

First of all, before I ever went to Frost Diner, I was told by at least 3 people in town that I had to go. It's like a staple of life in Warrenton. I've only been here once for breakfast, but I'm definitely going back. Definitely the best 50's-style diner I've ever been in. Yes, they only take cash, and the place was packed on the Saturday morning I went, but even waiting a few minutes for a seat and sitting at the counter was fun. It was like stepping back in time. And then - SHOCKER - breakfast was REALLY GOOD. I got the french toast, bacon, and homefries (needed salt) and it was all surprisingly delicious. My husband said the same of his eggs and bacon. Kind of a greasy dive, but such a fun and authentic experience you've just got to go. read more

This is your traditional southern diner. Yes, there's still a smoking section - be glad we're not hanging the Confederate flag for goodness sake! It's a wonderful slice of life in our small town. Breakfast is great, but I haven't been there for any other meals. To me, it's just a breakfast place. read more

I love coming here for breakfast. Service is spot on best place to go for breakfast on a Friday or Saturday morning. I love getting combo #4 you get your moneys worth on that. read more

This is more toward 3 1/2 stars. It'a a diner. In a trailer. I didn't walk in expecting to see an extremely well kept, beautiful & modern restaurant...and I was correct. It looks like a hole in the wall spot & it is- thus it met my expectations appearance wise. I generally make this a stop for breakfast one morning whenever I am in Warrenton. If you like large portion diner food at a good price, this is a spot for you! I've had omelettes/eggs/hash browns/corn beef hash/pancakes here & all tasted good. I will say that their pricing of what is on the board for specials doesn't generally match my check so I am not sure how they come up with some of their numbers but we still walk out at a reasonable $ amount for 2 people. This is a CASH only business which is kind of annoying...especially the first time you go there with no cash (who carries cash now adays?!) but oh well, just know for the next time. Overall I would recommend it if you are in the area & aren't someone who goes into a trailer old school diner & expects it to be Ruth's Chris. read more

Usually, I'd give the diner 4-5 stars. Not tonight. I was a regular. I was in there with my mother and my toddler. My daughter was behaving herself other than laughing and squealing. Apparently, the cook (who's name starts with a B) did not think that my daughter should be so loud and had the audacity to walk over to our table and tell me to keep her quiet. Are you f---ing kidding me?? The diner was not even busy at the time and it wasn't like she was screaming bloody murder and throwing temper tantrums. Also, how the h-ll do you keep an almost 2-year old quiet? You don't. You just deal with it. I highly doubt that woman would have said anything to anyone else about their children but, since I was a regular, I guess she didn't see the problem. I am highly offended and intend to write a little letter to the owner. You just don't do that...especially in a little sh*thole like Frost Diner. read more
