Not at all what I expected after looking at the website... but definitely an experience not to miss! Once we got over the fact that this joint is located inside a gas station convenience store, we placed our order and stood in line with people paying for their gasoline so we could pay for our food and a couple bottles of water. About 10 minutes later, they called our name; we grabbed our food from the counter and sat down at one of the five tables. We popped open our foam clamshells and dug into fluffy pancakes while "Honkytonk Badonkadonk" blared on the radio. This place is about half the cost of a more traditional restaurant, has half the ambiance, but this was one of the best breakfasts I have eaten in a long time. Definitely recommend it if you are passing through. read more

I ordered the Super Grilled Cheese, and it did not disappoint. Thick-cut bread, toasted to a perfect golden brown, with a mix of cheeses layered on the outside and a hearty stack of tomato and bacon tucked in the middle. My first bite threw me a little -- the cheese wasn't fully melted, and I'm usually all about that stringy, gooey pull. But by the second bite, I got it: the tomato inside was still cool, so if the cheese had been melted all the way through, the tomato would've had to be piping hot too, and that would've thrown off the whole balance. Smart execution, even if it wasn't what I expected at first. The crinkle fries on the side were cooked to perfection -- crispy on the outside, exactly the right texture. This spot is a great late-lunch/early-dinner stop if you're passing through. Simple, well-made food that hits the spot. Will definitely be back next time we're on this road. read more

This is totally the kind of spot you'd love! It's this little cafe tucked away in the back of a convenience store/gas station, and they make hot, fresh food to order that's super tasty and won't cost you an arm and a leg. We found it last year by accident and now we always make sure to stop whenever we're around. You just order at the counter, the menu's on a board behind it, and they usually have some specials too. You tell them what you want, give your name, and they'll give you a receipt to pay up front. There are about five or six tables if you want to eat there. Everything's made fresh, so it comes out hot. Right now, the breakfast special is $7.99 and you get three eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns or seasoned potatoes, and toast. The people who work there are really nice and friendly. read more

Great food, the Philly chicken is my favorite. Breakfast is always good, kids love to get a Togo order before school.

This gets five stars for the simple reason that they COOK the vegetables they put in their omelette. I've had so many disappointing omelettes with raw vegetables. Along with that, our family stopped for lunch as we were passing through (10/15/19). The cashier that day was friendly and super helpful. He could probably tell we weren't regulars. He suggested the corn dog nuggets for my 3 year old because he said his kids love them. Great suggestion! Our food came out in good time and everyone was happy with their lunch. While we ate, the lunch crowd rolled in and we could tell this place is popular with locals. We stopped here on a whim and it was a great decision! read more

The super grilled cheese sandwich was delicious. I ordered my fries extra well done. This is the fourth or fifth time I've visited the grill. It is a small hole-in-the-wall place but the food is well prepared and the portions are reasonable. I've tried several items on the menu but for me, the super grilled cheese sandwich is the best! The service, waiting time to get my food, and the price are all things to be proud of. read more

Omg the best biscuits ever!!!! Had a breakfast sandwich - bacon and egg on a biscuit- was best sandwich ever!!!! My husband had sausage gravy and biscuits and that was great. The flavors were perfect and everything was fresh and hot. Will definitely be back in the future! Lastly, pricing is low! I had to update my review and take away one star. My hubby and I went back the next morning on a Sunday and ordered the same meals. Unfortunately both meals were not as good the previous morning. My biscuit was not hot and the top was hard, also there was not that buttery taste. My hubbies gravy was not hot or even close to it. We were told it was the last of the gravy, which was okay, but again not hot. I was inclined to take away two stars but the previous meal was just too damn good! read more

Food and service was great, I come to Virginia often and can't wait to return. The atmosphere was welcoming

Love the food! I usually get the Philly cheesesteak sandwich but everything else looks really good. Nice service too!

The food and service are truly top notch at Little River Grill. I have eaten breakfast there many times, but tonight was the first time I tried dinner. I stopped for gas on my way home from a long day at work and decided to try it. The Chef (yes, there is a true chef at this gas station restaurant) stepped up to the counter when he saw me looking at the menu and said that he had a fresh pot of white chicken chili, and suggested I get it with a grilled cheese sandwich. I said it sounds perfect, and thanked him for the suggestion. It was the best white chicken chili I have ever had! The grilled cheese was perfection. An awesome comfort food throw back to my childhood to go with the chili. Then I got the check and was pleasently surprised at how affordable the meal was! I've paid more for fast food junk. No more drive-throughs for me. I will definitely be back! Thank you Chef for making a really hard day end on a high note. Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture before I ate, so all I can show is my empty bowl. read more

Fantastic food but now their hours are not convenient for anyone! They never have anything ready to grab& go like the used to and not open for hunters and fishermen that used to support them in the past. Now we have nowhere to get breakfast in the morning before tournaments. Please change hours back! read more

The breakfast biscuits are amazing! Best biscuits and tastiest eggs and sausage!!! Don't stress that it's located in a gas station. Your mouth will thank you. Great to grab before work or when making a pit stop to refuel and hop back on 81. read more

The wife and I stopped here on the way back home. We both got biscuits, which were on point. Everything is home made, just the way I like it. The biscuit itself was almost like sandwich bread, but still held up well to the sausage and egg. The pic says it all. Will stop here again, w/o a doubt! read more

Everyone is so nice!! Once you get a recipient after you order, go to the front desk of the shop and pay there! food is great and bathrooms are clean! Seems a bit sketchy on the outside at first but such a cute place! read more

Hard to decide when you are tired... But had a taste for a burger (seldomly eaten) on their well seasoned flat grill. It came out w/the edges crispy (perfect). The shredded lettuce also made a difference in taste & holding the burger. Let's not forget that the cook put just the right amount of condiments . Now that i've found this place... will be returning! Oh yeah... very crispy tots! read more

Frequent visitor! Very good hot dogs, burgers and salads but they have the best bacon cheese fries you'll ever eat!

Stopped to gas up the car, restroom break and hot coffee. They made pots of fresh decaf and regular for us. Everyone really friendly. They have a diner also. read more

The service was a little slow to get started but server was very pleasant. Beer selection was surprisingly limited. Signage advertised ipa choices but yet they didn't have them. Our group of four, three had smothered burger and farmers burgers very tasty. Fourth had Reuben, however restaurant ran out of sauerkraut. Web site advertised outside dining yet it didn't exist. That was unfortunate because the views were beautiful. Not sure we'll return. read more

I wish I'd known about this place long ago. I just had a good chili burger with slaw. The meat was seasoned well and so good. Just a place to grab something and go. Not much seating. I want to try other things on the menu but I don't get through here too often. read more

Get here before 7pm because noone eats after that. Truck parking is terrible. Super dusty. Cashiers in store are rude and not helpful. Just stay away. read more

This was a wonderful find! Close to 81 in Virginia and some of the best grill food my husband and I have had in a very long time! The bbq pork sandwich was perfect and the onion rings were just like they should be. Husband ate every bite of his grilled cheese with bacon. He never eats all of a sandwich. This is a hidden treasure. read more

The best "hole in the wall" place to get that real guilty foods! Biscuits & gravy specials are so good! The cheeseburger and tater tots, the best around. Real food, not frozen! Only 4 tables, but down home people will share their space. Never a bad thing there!!!! Great guys working the grill!! Nine finer! These guts can cook the house down!!!! read more

Just stopped here for a quick bite. The pork bbq sandwich was great. Really smokey with some Smokey bbq sauce and slaw. French fries were salt and peppered. The fellas working did a great job. Took about 10 minutes to get my food, but worth the wait. A new stop for me. I'll be back!! read more

Don't let the setting deter you - yummy breakfast- get the biscuit sandwiches, skip the chicken & waffles. Order at the counter (or better yet call ahead) pay at the register, everything is made to order so expect 15+ minute wait. At Sunday breakfast finding a table is a challenge. We ate in the car. read more

Fast & Friendly Service, large portions, inexpensive. Take Out. Has a few tables. Is located in a gas station.

This one of my favorite stops in Radford great staff and all had not try the Little River Grill but heard awesome review about the food. Will be making a visit soon! read more

Just the way "Bad for you food" should be!! I love this place. And the ribs.... Wow! Well worth the pit stop.

Just had a delicious breakfast. Eggs perfectly over medium, biscuits with gravy and crispy hash browns just the way I like them! If it weren't for Yelp, I would never have known! read more

Great food for a great price. Had the Ribs yesterday, which is their special, and is only offered on Fridays. 7.99 Got me a half rack of freshly smoked ribs, and they were amazing. I was talking to one of the cooks, and they make their own barbecue sauce specifically for the ribs. We're talking fall off the bone here. Fabulous food. The people are friendly too. read more

I work at the hospital down the street and they're literally the only food place open after 7pm. Hospital staff tell me often that the food at the grill is great so I decided to try. The first time I went for wings. OMG scrumptious. They do frequently run out of food which is a bummer but that night I got lucky and the barbecue wings were delicious...and cheap! The second time I tried their bacon cheese fries. Amazing again, especially with a side of ranch. Staff have always been kind and courteous. I have always come in to quick smiles and good service. read more

Best breakfast for the money, especially the omelets. The Philly is good to. Wish they would bring back the BBQ meatloaf.
