There was no greeting, no basic courtesy, and when I asked a simple question about the menu I was met with attitude and eye-rolling. I understand everyone has bad days, but working in customer service means at least treating customers with a basic level of respect. Instead, I felt like I was inconveniencing them just by ordering a drink. The whole interaction felt hostile and uncomfortable. The coffee itself was average, but the service completely ruined the experience. There are plenty of coffee shops where staff actually appreciate their customers, so I won't be coming back here.

We just wanted…read morea couple of bagels and some coffee, thought it would only take a few minutes but luckily we didn't have any coins smaller than quarters for the parking meter or we would have run out of time waiting. Walked in to the very small space and were told we needed to order online, so we got out our phones and scanned one of the many QR code signs posted on every surface anordered - two bagels, one with cream cheese and the other with butter. He confirmed he received the orders immediately- even before the payment had gone through. That seemed like a good sign. We waited and watched while he made salads and other orders for people who presumably ordered online before us, but didn't come in to pick up while we were there. Eventually he made our bagels, put them in cardboard baskets, covered them with aluminum foil (not sure why we needed that cardboard waste -- would have been happy with my bagel just wrapped in foil), covered them with paper towels, put them each in separate paper bags, and placed them on the counter while calling our names (even though we were the only people in the place and he had confirmed he knew who we were when he received the order). We took the bagels and walked across the street and got our coffees from the cute cat cafe with the friendly staff. Hit the road, and pulled out our bagels in the car. First bite was so bad that I tossed the rest of the bagel back in the bag... it was so crunchy it was more of a thick bagel chip, and shards of bagel stuck between my teeth like splinters. Certainly one-of-a-kind, I've never had another bagel like it. About 10 miles later I was hungry enough to get the bagel out and try again... this time I kneaded it through the aluminum foil a bit to bread it up first. It was still very crunchy and sharp, but there were some softer bits toward the middle. There wasn't much flavor, except where it was drenched in butter (and those bites tasted like butter, which isn't a bad taste I guess). TLDR, if you want bagels in Winchester WV skip this place and go to Sclafani's.

With help from Yelp, we discovered this place that we'd passed before, not knowing it was a restaurant (because of the gas pumps!) Not sure if they're still selling gas but the BBQ was great. As others have commented, there are no prices marked on the chalkboards but it was definitely good food! I ordered the Pork Sundae ($10.99), not knowing at all what that was other than pulled pork, beans and slaw. It came in a "soup" container, layered with those ingredients: Everything but the bun! It was a fun change. Husband had the Cuban Meal with one side ($12.99) While they do sell beer, you cannot consume it on the premises. Not even at the tables outdoors. Olivia, the owner, was meeting with an applicant and came over to talk with us. We enjoyed the interaction as well and are quite sure that we'll return. From our observation, they seem to do a lot of take-out.

The delectable smokehouse flavors envelop your mouth with every bite. I got the pulled pork sandwich meal with potato salad while my friend got the brisket sandwich meal with macaroni and cheese. Despite the fact that we were ravenous after hiking up a mountain all day in the rain, we could barely finish our meals! The succulently smoked meat was packed in a fresh, toasted bun and covered in tasty bbq sauce. Even the potato salad had the perfect blend of potatoes, mayo, and relish for a refreshing side. The staff there were also extra friendly with their curbside service despite the lateness of the hour (nearing closing) and the drizzle. Growing up in Texas I take my barbecue seriously, and this place is one I will frequent anytime I'm passing through Front Royal. I don't need mountains to have this mountain top experience!

We had food catered for a family event, costing nearly $2K and I was shocked with how little care, energy and flavor were placed on the items. Their namesake, greens, along with most of the other items, were clearly from a bag, can or freezer off a shelf that morning. Most of our food went untouched and we couldn't convince anyone to take any leftovers home. Do not order their banquet style food. To be clear, I am willing to pay what it costs for delicious food! What they charged would've been fine if the food was good... I really am rooting for this business but they need to put more work in to justify any cost. Good luck!
