Poppy's Place in Front Royal is a TOTAL return to another time. Poppy, after whom the restaurant is…read morenamed, is the grandfather of the people who work (and I suspect at least partially own) the place. You walk in and order at the counter. This is a down home breakfast place where clearly everything is made to order from scratch. When we arrived, there was a woman waiting on a large takeout order. The order was for the wedding party for her daughter who was getting married that day. The bride so loves this place that she wanted her wedding party to share breakfast from her favo spot. So you get the picture. Very simple, very local. We ordered an array of breakfast items that included omelettes, grilled cheese, egg and cheese and pancakes, toast, along with coffee. The service was wonderful, the people who work here are wonderful. The food is good, certainly not great. I am from a bigger city and perhaps my expectations are skewed from that. This is a great place to visit for breakfast just outside of the National Park and it feels nice to support the local business. Just know what to expect.

So Happy when I learned that Poppy's Place delivered! They have delicious food, but it is…read moresometimes hard to get away from the office. My Egg Salad Sandwich was so good, and it hit the spot! And fast, food was here in less than 30 minutes at lunch-hour...no one can beat that in the area. The delivery person was so polite and had the best smile, not sure if he was an employee or from a delivery service, he made my day. Highly recommend Poppy's Place.

Absolutely incredible food and a place I will think about often. It has a Culver's type vibe but with the care of hometown place. Everyone looked like they enjoyed being there and were happy that you stopped by. Recommendation is to bring plenty of napkins and don't over order fries. They are generous portions :) I can't recommend this place enough!

3.5 stars. We were on our way out of Shenandoah National Park and wanted a bit to eat. We saw…read moreSpelunker's and thougjt, "Let's do it!" We used the drive-thru. Friendly and helpful service from the young lady who took our order. We waited about 5-7 minutes for our food. Double Cavern Burger with cheese, single Cavern Burger with cheese (extra pickles), chicken tenders, large fries and two types of frozen custard. Custard was delicious. One of us ordered a single vanilla on a waffle cone. Dude must have put in extra, because it was HUGE. The triple scoop s'mores frozen custard wasn't so big, but it was creamy and tasty. Burgers and chicken were greasy, not in a good way. Lots of oil at the bottom of the chicken cup. Double Cavern buns were soaked in oil. Other than the oil, the meat was good. Plenty of toppings, even adding a good amount for extra pickles.

And a bag of Jalapeño chips. While I was waiting, I explored the small space. Two Fat Butchers offers a wide selection of freshly ground meats, sausages, steaks, burgers, jerky, and more! I'd love to bring a cooler and stock up! I took the sammich to go - the thing felt really heavy and dense. I wasn't sure I'd be able to eat the whole thing in one sitting! I drove into Shenandoah National Park and sat at the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center and wolfed down the sammich. It was very tasty and filling - and I did eat the whole thing!

The thing that put me off was the aggressive signage everywhere prohibiting this and that. No pets, restrooms for customers only, tables reserved for 2 or more customers, no outside food, etc. I'm sympathetic to business owners trying to prevent customers from taking advantage in various ways, but these kinds of things set an unwelcoming tone that annoys me. If you don't show a little confidence that your customers are good people, they will feel your judgment.

I do not say this lightly: this was best fried shrimp I've ever had. Also the best crabcake and…read morefried catfish that have ever graced my palate. The sides were perfection. Just look at the photos- you can see the perfection. Family owned- there were three (maybe four) generations behind the counter and we watched them bread and fry the shrimp and cook everything on demand. Nothing is frozen or pre made. The guys were friendly and fun to chat with; felt like you're at home. This is by far the best soul food seafood restaurant I've ever been to, and besides one other place in Front Royal that offers very different fare it's the best place to get a meal. Please visit this establishment so they stay in business forever. This is the food we all deserve.

The shop was a little cold and there was pretty loud Christian music playing on the tv so that can make it hard to work there. Overall though, this was a solid place to sit down with a wide variety of drink and snack options -- they even have food like fries and sandwiches based on what I heard other people order.
