You know, you could find fancier restaurants. You could even find fancier diners. But, I double dare you to find one that serves better food, with great sized portions! We have stopped here before and consider it a "must" when we are traveling in the rural areas of Virginia. It is a family run place (run very well, I might add) with a large menu and, for my taste since I grew up in a Greek restaurant family, it has a surprising number of Greek and Greek-inspired dishes. While the Greek food served here are not my mother's recipes, they are VERY good and they satisfy even the picky Greek diner. Another thing that tells me this place belongs on everyone's list is how very well they do the simple stuff - the BLT tasted beautiful, bacon forward, with not too much mayo and it was well balanced. The cole slaw was so good that we had to order a 2nd helping! From the crowds in the parking lot, I am not divulging new information when I rave about the food. From one Greek-American to another: you guys are doing us all proud!!! Keep on doing what you do so well!!! I wish you continued success! read more

I've been here a few times and have always left with a, meh. I stopped by this evening to grab a to-go order. I don't think I've ever been more disappointed with food service than tonight. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich with mayo, tomato, salt and pepper. I'll try to post an image if the app allows, but instead of an option of white, wheat, rye, or whatever, I received a small hamburger bun with old tasting tuna, tomato, onion, lettuce and no S&P. $7.95. + tax. You couldn't have screwed up a sandwich more even if you tried. If the owner knew what was going out the door they'd be pissed. ...and geesh, does every freakin' employee smoke? these people smell to like a tobacco factory on fire! read more

Hopefully, this was a one off experience. Have had good breakfasts here, and decided to have their Prime Rib dinner last night, 9/7/18. My son and I arrived at about 6:30, were promptly seated, and were waited on quickly. My son ordered a Guinness, and the bartender delivered a Yuengling. easily corrected. when the Guiness arrived, he said it was overcarbonated. Definitely not a "Guinness pour". But then, it wasn't their reputation for pouring a great Guiness that brought us here tonight. We both ordered the Prime Rib dinner, one med-rare, one med. food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, but the meat was barely warm. more like room temp. the waitress advised us that we got the last 2 Prime Rib dinners, apologized, and took the food back to the kitchen for rewarming. brought it out in a few minutes. the meat was warmed. Not the best Prime Rib I've had. seemed a bit chewy. then after we finished our meal, we sat......and sat...... and sat.....waiting for our waitress to see if we wanted anything more. finally decided to get her attention and ask for the check. an underwhelming experience. Because of our good breakfast experiences, we'll be back. might be awhile before we try the Prime Rib again. maybe the meatloaf next time. read more

Me and my grandmother both ordered French onion soup from here. They very clearly chopped up and threw in some raw onions, bread and cheese. I informed my waitress and she brought us both new soups, this time with almost no onion and all bread. For my meal I ordered chicken Alfredo, it was okay. 10/10 wouldn't recommend coming here, if you really want homemade comfort food, make it yourself. Save your money. read more

Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is pretty good. Bar area is nice but combines with a "family" area so it takes away from the bar feel. The food was okay. We had the meatloaf and a Reuben. Both were bland in taste. No seasoning or spices. Just plain meat. Mashed potatoes were normal Diner tasting. They had a couple of decent craft beers on tap. We requested a specific channel for a sports game and they changed it. However at some point a person seated at the bar, clearly a worker or family member popped behind the bar to change the channel. The good news, whatever they wanted wasn't on. But, if it was we wouldn't have been to pleased. We will try again at breakfast time to see if it's any better then. read more

I had to laugh at the young lady who posted pictures of the bathroom because she's right--it's a very nice upgrade but it seemed so out of place for the style of the restaurant. I ate lunch but before I left I noted they added a bar in the back and a deck that seems fairly new. The menu is a bit of a mish mash, but so is my personality, so who am I to judge? They have breakfast, Southern cuisine, Greek food, sandwiches, etc. I really don't understand the Greek food section but like I tell my psychiatrist, you don't have to understand it to accept it. I ordered a Satan's Pony beer from Southstreet Brewery in Charlottesville (great beer--check it out). I settled on the chicken and dumplings with green beans and macaroni and cheese as my two sides. My company ordered meatloaf (which had been my second choice). I was most surprised by the macaroni and cheese because usually at home-cooking style restaurants it can be hit or miss. It lacked aesthetic quality, but it was very flavorful and had enough salt as did the green beans. The dumplings were a little doughy, but good--plenty of chicken and different than what I expected. They were more of a Matzo ball style with a biscuit on the side. The meatloaf was prepared with a "secret" house sauce (which tasted sweetened with honey and ketchup). It made for a pretty presentation instead of just your average meatloaf. I thought the service was wonderful. We had a charming young man named Jacob wait on us and by the time we were finished there were four wait staff at our table during the slow period--all very conversational and friendly. I'll be visiting again when I go through this pleasant little town. read more

Sad to say my return wasn't as good as my previous encounter. We were seated rather quickly for a busy Saturday morning, which was nice, but it took, literally, fifteen minutes before anyone came over to greet us. The server apologized and said that the lady who was assigned to my section had 'disappeared'. Sounded like good advice. read more

Prices are high for what you recieve. Cute little diner and nice servers. Mimosas are lovely.

We booked the special occasion room for a private event, could not be happier. Food & service was outstanding. Many thanks to Heidi & Austin! Highly recommended, we wI'll be back! read more

Just moved to the area and wanted to try out our local diner. The chicken and waffles is to die for. I had no idea fried chicken could be this good. You can taste the honey on the chicken, super crispy and tender meat. Waffle tasted like cake batter, which I loved, just wish they were a little crispy. Husband got biscuits and gravy, he said it was delicious as well. Service was also great :) read more

Great place and good people serving wonderful comfort food. Hits the spot if you're hungry. One of our regular go to local spots.

We used to eat here every once a while, and it was always very good comfort food country cooking type stuff. Went there today for a breakfast brunch and was disappointed. Their prices have gone up substantially, and their breakfast menu was not nearly as good as I expected. The sausage gravy and biscuits had so much pepper in the gravy that it was actually unpleasant to eat it. None of their breakfast choices come with combinations of ham or sausage or bacon. All of those are side orders you have to pay extra for. read more

My grandson ordered two hotdogs and both rolls had mold on them. The waitress went to see if all the rolls were moldy and brought a roll out in her bare hand. When I requested to speak to a manager a lady came out and while I was telling her about the rolls was smiling and the waitress came out and she was smiling. Not once did they say anything about giving a discount for his meal. We will never eat there again! It's a shame that's how they operate a restaurant! read more

Our first visit was fantastic! The food is delicious, portions great for the prices! Our server, Kelly, attended to our needs. She was very professional and delightful! We shall be back!! read more

Looking for something new tonight and were hungry for Greek food. They did not disappoint. It was delicious. We had the Greek platter, French onion soup, and country fried steak. It was all fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. Did I mention the $4 glass of wine that was very drinkable. We will be back. read more

The first time was here was good. It was crowded but we were able to get seated immediately. The service was good. The food was great, the pancakes very fluffy. I'll will be returning for lunch or dinner next time. read more

Been wanting to stop here for over 10 years and finally stopped for lunch, I'm glad I did! The service was great, made you feel welcome as soon as you hit the door, food was great. Even had a small bar. I'm going to stop more when I'm on 29, just mad that I didn't stop sooner. read more

This place has gluten-free options which I didn't expect from a diner. Clean environment with friendly staff, plus located right next door to an ice cream place. What more could you want?!?! read more

Hostess was friendly and helpful, waited 20 minutes for our server even though there were only two other tables it the restaurant (who were waiting on their check). Ended up having another server step in and once he did we had drinks immediately and our order placed and food out in 15 minutes so that was good. Food was over priced compared to local places and was kind of bland. It was hot though. There were a lot of flies. read more

Had dinner her a few weeks ago. I feel like this place is the last of a dying diner from the good ole days. Needs to modernize the menu. Want to come back and try the breakfast menu. Looks like that's where it's at. read more

I love this place! The people are so friendly! The service is excellent and the food is fantastic! Fresh! And always delicious. Nice fire pit and outside seating in the back and live music on certain nights. What more can you ask for? read more

We came here for my daughter's birthday to hear the band. The band was great, but the service was horrendous a d RUDE. The food is pretty good, but the service was so rude, it was a joke. Come here with low expectations of receiving a smiling face and you'll be ok. read more

Food and drinks were fine but the staff were rude and downright negative in everything. We got seated next to the server station and had to listen to their non stopping bitch session. Made a supposedly nice brunch date with my wife truly sucky. read more

Overall decent food and friendly service. Huge space. But parties of 20 and 15 kept us waiting over an hour for food. While we weren't in a rush, it was strange that others with more involved dishes were serviced before us. Nonetheless we chalked it up to a fluke and will likely return. read more

I would give it a 5 star because the food is superb. I love this place for the food. The bar is where I lost the 1 star . I went there with friends and was having a great time, good atmosphere, super music and entertainment BUT...the woman bartender was AWFUL. If you don't like your job get a different one. So I thought it was just a bad night for her, NOPE SHES HORRENDOUS ALL THE TIME I will never go back to the bar ever again !! She was rolling her eyes when we asked for another drink , she was hemming and hawing when we asked for separate checks and was actually "talking about us" like we weren't there and we were bothering her. Than she was hurrying us up so she could get out on time. What???? Oh my God. Horrible horrible woman . I hope she gets a different job read more

ordered lunch with an extra surprise. a big was in my mashed potatoes. not only am I leaving without eating, the staff didn't Eve seem surprised. this place is disgusting I'll never come through these doors again read more

Tried this gem for the first time. I heard several great reviews from friends and decided to check it out. Wow! For a diner it had a pretty lengthy menu which made it hard to decide. I ended up getting the fish Reuben, being from Florida we don't see it very often in Va. It was delicious! The portions were big and the food was hot and fresh! I will definitely be back because I saw several items that I know won't disappoint! read more

I'm sad to see so many low reviews. My party and I had a great meal here. I had driven past this place a ton of time, but never stopped for a meal. We I finally did. My group and I were on our way to convention far, far, away. They told me to pick a spot, so I suggest this place as it was on our way. It was a Friday morning around 7:15am when we strolled in. There were already a few people there. We were greeted at the door and taken to our table. Our drink orders were placed and we looked over our menus. Our drinks quickly came out. It was simple, coffee and water for all. The coffee here actually is pretty good. I don't think it Folgers or Maxwell House. This stuff had a good flavor. At this point we placed our orders. I was in the mood for sausage gravy and biscuits. I also ordered a side of bacon. The other 2 in my party ordered the make your own breakfast. Pick any 4 of the listed items. I could help by notice that the place inside was pretty basic. Nothing fancy at all. Just a nice down home feeling of a little mom and pop shop. Our server did come by and check to make sure our drinks were full. Our food soon came out. I don't think we waited too long. One of four items my friend got was a pancake. We all assumed it would be a little tiny flimsy thing. It wasn't. It was thick and the size of a hubcap. He did say it tasted great. In fact, the pick any for platter was huge from what they told me. All tasted good. My sausage gravy and biscuits were huge. It was actually a big portion. It had great flavor, and I was stuffed at the end. Bacon was crisp and tasty as well. The potatoes we not anything special. My only real complaint was the food temperature. I was expecting the sausage gravy to be hot as well as the potatoes. They came out warm, so my guess was, it sat out while the other dishes were being made. It wasn't cold or anything. The service was great and the people working there were nice, and it's cheap. I'll have to go back here again one day. Too bad I live too far from here. If my food was hot, I would have given it 4 stars, but I have to drop it on star for that. I'll be back, as Arnold would say. read more

Slow service, they would rather concentrate on cleaning the place for closing time then to attend to their tables. Honey Fried chicken was COLD in the middle but super hot on the outside. Need I say more? Prime Rib was blahh.. Outback has better Prime Rib and that's not a good thing... read more

I've been here three times, all for breakfast. I've had the biscuits & gravy with home fries every time because it's too good for me to want to try something new! The service is always wonderful & the food comes out fast. They have a lot of breakfast options, so one day I may venture from my usual. They're open for lunch & dinner, too. They have a bar area and happy hour as well. I'd like to come here for dinner one night too, just to try it out. The prices are well worth the amount & quality of food. Stop in & try it for yourself! read more

Cozy, friendly place with pretty good food. Casual dining. The fried chicken sandwich was well seasoned & crunchy. The potato chips seemed a bit stale, but still seasoned well. We hit this stop before going to a brewery. Looks like a local spot for eating. Sundays they do breakfast/lunch/ dinner ALL day. read more

Stopped in here for the first time yesterday around 10:30 a.m. to enjoy a late breakfast prior to errand-running. Except for 4 other tables, place was empty, so we were seated right away in one of the booths. Clean & neatly appointed with condiments, although the flowers in our vase were dead, which was a little depressing. Hubby asked for water & a large orange juice ($2.69); I had a large orange juice & coffee ($1.95). Orange juice was fresh; coffee strong, but fresh also - none of that old burnt taste you get when coffee's been sitting around too long. For our meals, hubby ordered an American Cheese Omelet ($6.99), which came with home fries & a choice of bread; hubby asked for the biscuit. I had the Western Omelet ($7.99) - also with home fries & a biscuit. The omelets (3-egg) were excellent - perfectly cooked & with generous fillings. While husband's American Cheese filling is self-explanatory, my omelet was overflowing with diced green pepper, onions, mushrooms, ham, & cheese, & was served with small cups of salsa & sour cream on the side. The bottle of Tabasco sauce on the table was the perfect extra touch for those who like their eggs spicy. It was, however, downhill from there. The "home fries" were soft & soggy - no crispiness whatsoever - & the biscuits were over-baked (way too brown) & possibly stale. They were like rocks. Each plate was also "decorated" with the saddest-looking garnishes we've EVER seen - a tiny heavily-wilted leaf of kale topped with a quarter slice of dried-up-&-partially-brown orange & 2 small soggy red grapes. My husband said that someone needs to tell the kitchen that it's not okay to save the garnishes & re-use them over & over on other customers' plates - lol!! Really - that's how bad they looked. Better to have no garnish at all than to "decorate" a plate with such dreck. Service was okay - we were asked several times if we needed anything - but it was kind of depressing to see the "hostess" sitting in the booth next to us reading. The menu is also odd - a very limited mixture of Greek, Italian, & American offerings. Prices appear more than reasonable, which probably explains why the existing tables during our visit, along with the few that came in while we were leaving consisted of parties all definitely in their 80's. Our bill after tax but before tip came to $23.43. All in all - not a bad place that I'd avoid, but not one I'd go out of my way for. read more

Nice place but I really would like to get what I ordered. Ordered meat lovers to have as my luxury on my diet this week. But get a western. Finally got the waitress attention and was told that is what she thought I ordered. She then asked what else I would like. When I said what I ordered she looked surprised as if she had to pay for it. I gave up. Ate what I was given like a child being punished and left. Not very happy at all. read more

Love this place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My favorite breakfast spot in the Warrenton area. Always find an excuse to stop here and get their breakfast four choice combo with a chocolate chip pancake, cheesy scrambled eggs and grits, and applesauce. Great lunch/dinner items are the turkey artichoke panini and the balsamic pesto flatbread pizza. read more

This restaurant was AMAZING!!!! Not just the food but the WONDERFUL people! We had the chicken and waffles and the Reuben and BOTH were GREAT! Sorry, I didn't take any pics... just trust my recommendation. I'm sure everything else must be just as wonderful though. You WON'T be disappointed! I'm sad that we don't live here and we're just passing through. The ONLY bad thing I can say about this place is that it's not in Texas, where we live. . The service was TOP notch -- sooo good that I thought the man that greeted us was the owner. He told us that he wasn't, but that the owners are wonderful people. Apparently their WONDERFULNESS was baked all throughout their restaurant, because their food and staff exude the love that they poured into that place! My husband and I were blessed to have stopped in. read more

I stopped in for a quick bite. Had Corned beef hash, eggs, grits, rye toast. Done to perfection with a very warm and friendly staff. Felt like home. Great place, will come back with my kids next time! read more

WOW! We have been living in the area for three years and drove past Northside 29 multiple times always saying we needed to stop in. Finally, last night we stopped for dinner. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that we only had the burgers so I don't feel it would be fair to rate a restaurant based on something so simple. That said, the burgers tasted like they just came off the grill in your backyard with a true chargrilled flavor. The service was excellent, the very attentive waiter was perfectly on key with the exception of him not asking it we needed refills even though our glasses were almost empty. Some may think thats a plus! FYI, Tuesdays are 1/2 price burgers and happy hour domestic beer is $2 bucks!! Come on!!! I'm going back as soon as possible for their "comfort food" menu; I'm a huge meatloaf fan and its on the menu....can't wait!! read more

Just moved to the area 3 weeks ago. We were looking for a good breakfast place. This place rocks! Everything we had was delicious. Pumpkin pancakes, eggs, oatmeal , pork chop and eggs even the coffee. Our server Mary was very attentive and quick. Would highly recommend! read more

The sign outside says that they serve comfort food, and I love comfort food, so I decided to stop in. I was really disappointed when I saw the menu, because there was no comfort food listed anywhere. My idea of comfort food is macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, maybe some soups or clam chowder. This place has burgers, salads, and sandwiches. The closest thing I could find close to comfort food was the barbecue sandwich. The fries were really good, but there was a lot of fat in the pork meat. This place wasn't terribly expensive but it was just okay. read more

I stopped in here for dinner on 4-21-2018 with a good friend. I had iced tea, chicken and waffles (I'm trying this dish out to see which place has the best) and half a chef salad with ranch dressing. Our server was "Sarah M." This was my first time here. Before getting inside, we had quite a time finding parking. Needless to say, we did find parking, although it was in the back in the grass. Now comes the good stuff. My friend ordered "cheese fries" to start. Those cheese fries were plentiful. Good flavor. Hot. Fresh ingredients. Now for the meal. My chicken and waffles were okay. You could definitely tell it was chicken. It just had that "fresh off the yard" look and taste. The waffles were more than enough for one person. The syrup was nice and warm too. The half chef salad was great. Plenty of ingredients. Fresh. The best part...the iced tea. I had a whole pitcher to my self....because I was thirsty. I can see myself coming back again the next time I am in the area. I will try something different from the menu too. read more
