Cute little cafe and bar, quick detour on 66. Super reasonable pricing, great food. Two televisions and good space, enjoyed a small town American bonhomie. If you are a coffee snob, then put some butter in the black coffee they serve and you should be fine. read more

Great little cafe, it was busy when we visited but they communicated well and got us a table very quick. There are plenty of seating options to include a bar and outdoor area. The breakfast menu is nice as they have many options. Everything came out quick and tasted great. The prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit if you are in that side of the county. read more

Old Salem Cafe - Eggs, Sausage, Home Fries and Toast - American Near Me - Marshall, Virginia

Amazing! Hospitality and food were fantastic. Lovely home town cafe and a beautiful bar. We will be stopping again when passing through. Thank you for being so kind. read more

Great Breakfast food! Good coffee, OJ. Super friendly staff! Not super crowded, decent bar space as well.

Service was great, food was great too. Small diner with casual vibe. Great stop on long car ride.

My second time going. For a storefront cafe, it has charm and familiarity. Staff are friendly and the wide variety of food is delicious. They accommodated our group of 10 in less than ten minutes, got us hot coffee and juices. Raved food included the Eggs Benedict, Corned Beef Hash, and pancakes for the kids. read more

Old Salem Cafe has become a breakfast staple for our family! They have a wonderful small town feel/atmosphere, excellent food, great prices, and the staff are the amazing! Lindy is always happy and attentive (although all the staff rock) and she always takes care of our toddler, making her laugh and going above and beyond for her to enjoy her breakfast. We have tried other diners/cafés in the area, but Old Salem Cafe is the best! Plus they serve real bacon and sausage lol (FYI the other diner in town is halal, so bacon and sausage is not pork). read more

Very welcoming. We found on Yelp. We all enjoyed our breakfast choices. We loved the homey, community vibe.

Friendly service (especially for 7am!) and tasty breakfast with large portions. The biscuits and gravy were peppery (which is how I like them, but beware if you don't love spice) and the omelette was nice and fluffy. They had grilled tomatoes which was unusual and a nice surprise! The only bad thing was the coffee. Really didn't like the coffee: it was weak and tasted cheap. But the place was jumpin' on a Saturday morning! Nice little pit stop on our road trip. read more

Old Salem Cafe - Corned beef hash, rye toast, eggs over medium, and grilled tomatoes - American Near Me - Marshall, Virginia

So glad I happened upon this place as a pit stop on a road trip to Shenandoah. Cheery service, beyond tasty food (ESPECIALLY for the price), and a small-town, rugged cozy feel and aesthetic. I suggest the liver and onions for a full, satisfying meal, but my partner got the Rueben sammich which was MOUTHWATERING, with no shortage of cheese melting out the sides. Only comment is that they seem to have missed the two calendar turns since 2020, as they still have their "TRUMP 2020" signs up. If that kind of thing perturbs you, I'd recommend skipping this place, but I didn't mind, just thought it was humorous. read more

Everybody was more than happy with their meal with fresh bath was friendly I wish I had the time to stay stick around all day and have a few drinks some of the locals look like a lot of fun. read more

Had the best bowl of chili today! Great flavor and a generous helping! Wait staff was friendly and fast.

Good, home-cooked food. Great service, friendly home-town folks that will make sure you're taken care of.

Stopped by for a grilled cheese and patty melt. Grilled cheese is pretty good. The patty melt didn't cover the corners, so it felt like a really unbalanced sandwich, with a really small round patty in the middle of it. read more

Love this place! Great staff and wonderful food! Always a perfect "go to" place It's right in Marshall off of exit 28 on I-66, quick and easy, yet sooooo yummy every time! read more

Stopped in here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning on my way out to visit Shenandoah National Park to see the leaves turning. Ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits, plus corned beef hash and two eggs over easy and coffee. The sausage gravy needed to be hotter temperature-wise, it was luke warm. The corned beef hash was canned hash. The best part of the meal was the eggs - ordered over easy, were cooked perfectly. And the coffee was decent. While paying my bill, I shared with the woman ringing me out they need to do something about the temp of the sausage gravy. She said she would pass it on to the kitchen. Service was good. read more

While making our trek from NYC back to SC saw this place on list of food stops along the freeway. So glad we gave it a shot. I opted for the special burger cooked medium with jalapeños and pepper jack, lettuce and tomato. Tasted like a Whopper, but juicy, with some heat. Went with onion rings and washed it all down with a Coke. Burger was one of the best I can remember and rings were on point as well. Service was friendly and competent. Felt like a cafe should. read more

Dropped in for breakfast. There were folks sitting outside the Cafe but nobody was smoking. I went in and sat at the "bar" area since I was just one person, and I had some blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon, and tried some corned beef hash since it had been years since I last had any. The food was very good, even though I couldn't eat all of it. The service was excellent and friendly. This is a great place for a quick meal. Prices were reasonable as well. read more

Breakfast Breakfast Breakfast I can't get enough of this place when it comes to breakfast. Not a huge menu, but what is one there is delicious with smiles and welcoming staff. Love the mimosas as well. read more

When the morning cook looks at the only two black people in the restaurant and asks if they are related. Because "they look alike", I'll go somewhere else. Then asks why "I look so mean?" Because comments like that are not necessary or wanted. read more

On our way to NC from VA, stopped by for breakfast, food was delicious and served hot. Tried their scrapple-pretty good, had never had it before. We sat outside and they were very accommodating with our group of 6 plus a dog. We had omelets, french toast, over easy eggs with their house potatoes which are a must. We had mimosas, coffee and hot chocolate. Recommend giving this place a try. However, I was a little bummed out once the food was brought out, our server never came back to ask if we needed anything else, we had to ask twice for condiments we requested and ask for the bill. There is always room for improvement! read more

Music too loud. Food is mediocre and not worth the trip. One of the waitresses not waiting on us came by our table we asked if there was breakfast and she answered no so rudely. read more

Great little place. Friendly staff and good food! They also have great live music on the weekends

We were road-tripping and stopped here after seeing a sign on the highway. We were not expecting much and were pleasantly surprised! We had a patty melt, a turkey club, and a massive platter of fried oysters. Everything was really well prepared. Onion rings were delicious, and the fries and hushpuppies were too. Great value for the price and very friendly staff. It seemed like a place that locals enjoyed. read more

My husband and I visited this cafe for the first time this past weekend. What a great experience! The staff and food were excellent. We plan to make this place a regular stop when we visit the area. read more

Brian and I really enjoyed our Lunch here, the service and the food was good, We will come to this place again. Thanks The Lee's read more

Good food. Quick service. We went here after a hike with 2 adults 8 kids. We ate outside. We sat close together but some at different tables which worked for us. Kids tired the frog legs as an appetizer and it's true... "tastes like chicken" Just an FYI... Smoking is allowed outside but we were on our way out before someone decided to light up. read more

We were looking for the Old Salem Cafe after coming off 66 West on route from Dulles to central Virginia. We turned into a near vacant shopping plaza and saw a bunch of closed or vacant businesses. We got back on the road and checked out every different direction and still couldn't find it. As we were giving up and heading back to the interstate I suddenly saw it at the end of another building in the Plaza. We went in and there were a few good old boys drinking coffee. The menu looked interesting and we both ordered the scrapple omelets. It came with potatoes or grits, and toast. It was a ton of food and everything was piping hot and delicious. The waitress was a doll and we discussed or difficulty finding the place and she said many people coming off the road tell her that. She has reported this to the owner but apparently they don't care about the business they may be missing. The cook also came and spoke with us and the locals said hello. Friendly atmosphere. Only three complaints, no gluten free toast available, when I asked for another side instead was not told that there would be a 50 cent up charge, and a couple of pesky flies. Love to support local Mom and Pop type places. Will be back if in the neighborhood. read more

I'm pleased to report that Kevin Whitener is now helming the new location in the Food Lion shopping center on Winchester rd. I've been a fan of his since his days of owning the Rail Stop in the Plains down the road. Kevin always comes out for a chat and to make sure everything is good. He's a great chef and a really nice guy. I love the country fried steak. read more

Found this place by accident as we exited the freeway to go elsewhere. Food was homemade and good. I had the catfish sandwich which was hot and tasty. Try them out if you are in the area. There are some good unique items on the menu. read more

After I got a cup of mediocre Chile and ate it I realized they had a big Trump 2024 sign inside. Felt like barfing up my lunch. Becides that, a diner is no place for politics. read more

One of the stranger places in the area, they do know how to pour a drink and have a decent breakfast. I say strange because it is a normal diner by day and somewhat of a terrible night club at night! The staff can be great or they can be grumpy, you never know what you will get! I stick to breakfast time here about every few months. read more

Went last night for bingo Monday! My kids had a blast, nice friendly small-town feel and the food was excellent. I had a Reuben with a baked potato - the sandwich was amazing and the potato was perfect. We also ordered chili and a cheeseburger and everything was delicious. Great owner, great staff, great patrons - we'll return for sure!! read more
