Service was amazing. Food was great and their homemade BBQ sauce is a must try. I only wish they bottled the sauce!

Friendly and efficient service Decent portion sizes of some seriously underwhelming food Fairly expensive read more

Food was good & Priced reasonably. Service was ok but servers need to be properly trained in my opinion, young server who you could tell didn't have much experience in waitressing. read more

Came here for the 1st time about 2yrs ago and ordered the Garlic Chicken Linguine pasta, it was packed with flavor. The noodles were a brown color and well seasoned. Went back a few times since then and the recipe isn't the same. It's regular noodles and I had to add so much salt because it was bland. Maybe the 1st time I went the chef had a really good day tried something new. read more

Cute little place with a neat story. We were immediately greeted and taken to a table when we entered. Our waitress came right over and took our drink orders. I ordered a burger and fries and my wife had a side salad. The food came out very quickly. My burger was delicious and the fries were perfect. My wife enjoyed her salad, especially the dressing. We found out that they make their own. Overall an enjoyable experience. read more

Ollie Cat Cafe - Half pound angus beef burger. - American Near Me - Luray, Virginia

I just had the best burger of the year at Ollie Cat Cafe on West Main Street, Luray, VA. Locally sourced, the medium finished half pounder was almost delicate in taste and texture, with a subtle sweetness I had never experienced. Maybe it was the sweet grass from the valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains, or perhaps something extra added to the feed (malt, corn), but whatever it is, the bite/chew was exceptional. That is not intended to shortchange the house itself. The large dining room and bar were dated with a cross section of antique tables & chairs, mixed with a bit of whatever they could find, making for an eclectic comfortable space. From our deuce in the front window we had a good overview of the customers, many of whom were from out of town, and found the place online (as we did) seeking a laid back place to chillax on a Friday night. We sampled local brews, too. An Octoberfest and Red Ale from a nearby hopsmeister. Should have gotten their name, but my curiosity was dampened by hunger. Still, they were both decent, if not best in show. Had a great conversation with Shannon, the better half of the new ownership tandem. She explained their short history and how they were searching for a community they could be part of, and discovering it in Luray. Understandable, as this seems to be great small town America. Wish them great success! read more

After checking out the disaster of restaurants at Luray Caverns, we gladly headed into town and found Ollie Cat. The entry is a little weird- its off the side parking lot and down a set of stairs. Inside feels like a old fashioned diner. The servers were very friendly, but a little overwhelmed by the lunch crowd. For the food, we started with an order of the pierogies, which were quite tasty if a little bit on the greasy side. I went with the blackened chicken sandwich for my meal which was actually quite good- loaded with flavor and well cooked without being overdone like so many chicken sandwiches tend to be. Its definitely a good option if you find yourself in town! read more

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our visit to Ollie Cat Cafe after visiting Luray Caverns. I really appreciated the warm hospitality of the staff. It was clear that the owners really cared about their community by the display of support for different local fundraisers. We also really enjoyed the food and eclectic decor. My boyfriend got a country fried steak while I got a classic chicken noodle soup and fully baked potato. We left feeling super satisfied and full of joy. read more

We stopped here after a day traversing the Skyline Drive. The food was delicious. My wife and I shared a salad (delicious), then each had the Chicken cordon bleu sandwich. A nice sized chicken breast, fried perfectly with ham, Swiss cheese on a fresh roll, it came with Dijon mustard. Each came with a side, my better half had loaded fries and I had the mixed vegetables. Many places the veggies are mush. Here they were cooked to perfection, then apparently sautéed with wonderful savory seasonings. Our server was very good, and the owner, a lovely woman stopped by and chatted with us. This is a must eat place in Luray. read more

If I could give more stars I would. I went here on a larger school trip with more than 10 people aging from 5-42. The waitress was phenomenal and the food was even better. The portions were just right (I highly recommend the penne pasta) and the prices were good. Desert was even better with an impressive amount of unique options- try their carmel apple cheesecake! I was ext impressed. The food was quick despite the Friday evening crowd and it was hand delivered by the chef. The vibe in the cafe was a mix of family style and grandmas house, a perfect place for a chill but cheerful evening or lunch. I can not say anything negative about this restaurant from an outside point of view and as a future tourist I'll gladly stop at Ollie Cat Cafe!! Also- speaking with our waitress, she mentioned the shelf on their wall being a collection of thrifted items and second hand collections. Their shelf is for sale and has a variety of trinkets and figurines for any occasion or style!! This was a super neat touch. read more

The food was so good here! We got a few salads, kids plates, and chicken wings! My salad was so nicely chopped, fresh and well presented. V and the other staff were great too! Definitely recommend! Just has that low key but cute vibe place! read more

Ollie Cat Cafe - Cobb Salad - American Near Me - Luray, Virginia

Stoped for dinner takeout while staying in a cabin close to Lurray Va. it's interesting neighborhood place with very friendly service. As we walked in person that I'm assuming was bartender greeted us and gave us a menu to order from. She was very helpful when I asked where can we eat since we had our dog with us and she gave us directions to park with benches that was close by. We ordered out good and waited a bit. Place got busy and everybody was hustling. It's furnished with mixed matched tables/chairs/booths and very casual atmosphere. We ordered two cheese burgers and one Philly cheesesteak sandwich, all come with sides we picked fries and onion rings which come with special sauce that was tasty. Burgers were good, Philly cheesesteak good too. It's a good spot for casual quick meal with friendly people! read more

Only 2 servers and they were working so hard! Food came quickly and was good. Based on ratings, I expected more. Pasta serving size is not big and came with a bite of bread. read more

Ollie cat is good. It's a burger/fries/pasta/salad place. It is among the better restaurants to sit in and eat at. Service is very good. Ambience is nice. People who like low spice food. Some of it might be the type of food available to for restaurant to buy. Visiting once while in town is good for me. read more

One of the best restaurants in the area. Full bar great service and what we had for a late lunch was great!! Atmosphere is not five star but I put more weight on menu choices food quality and service than I do for the building. Worth a shot if you are in the area!! read more

Nice little restaurant in the town of Luray. The service was great, very helpful in deciding was good to order which I ended up with the steak and soup of the day. read more

We ordered potato skins to start out our meal. As we were waiting for the skins I noticed the ketchup dispenser on the table. It looked like a science project. Ketchup stuck to side so abundantly it remined me of something id just seen in the caverns. The skins arrived and were clearly frozen and heated. We left to afraid to try actual dishes. If the ketchup dispenser looks like that, what would the kitchen have looked like. The only positive was the waitress forgot to charge us for our ice teas and soda. read more

Absolutely delicious food! Really something special. You can tell care and detail went into our meals. Overall the ambiance is ok, and staff were nice. Doesn't look like too much from the street. The owner was very happy to talk to us and share her story about leaving her life in FL to come up here and pursue her dream with her husband to own a restaurant. She also was exceptionally kind to the kids in our group. read more

Ollie Cat Cafe - Such friendly staff! Catered to the kids with personalized suggestions, coloring pages, and stickers. - American Near Me - Luray, Virginia

So maybe it was because staff was new, but service was slow. Food was so so. Our bill was almost $60 for two people. We left there hungry.

I stopped here on my way to join friends at an Airbnb in Luray. I came in and was greeted by a friendly male staff - I asked where I should make a carry out order. He yelled to another server and asked who was taking orders and they agreed he would do it. He then asked me if he could make some recommendations and once I confirmed I was fine with that, he shared what he liked and had a friendly disposition overall. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and proceeded to wait at the bar. The owner came over and got my payment and offered me water while I waited. My food came out and then my friends became hungry! FYI, I had checked in with them to see if they wanted food or wanted to meet up to eat. They texted their orders and I ate my food at the bar while I waited, the owner came over to me and chatted with me while I ate and waited, she was very friendly. My food was damn good, well cooked, had very good homemade honey mustard and yummy, crunchy and well seasoned fries. The owner proceeded to leave and there was no one working the bar, my food came out and the waitress who brought it out sat it at the end of the bar, so I assumed it was not for me. After a bit, the owner came back as she appeared to forget something, she looked at the to go order, seemed displeased and brought it to me. I believe her displeasure was in her staff as I was the only one sitting at the bar and her staff could have at least asked me if that was my order. I liked the restaurant and would go back if I was in Luray, but there could be a touch more organization and I would encourage them to focus on diversity as the establishment is lacking in this area. read more

Owner must have friends and family posting reviews- no way this is a 4 star place! Two other tables in the whole place and it took an hour to get sub-par food after we ordered. Waitress begged us not to walk out- she said the owner takes the walk outs from their checks! McDonald's is a better option! read more

2 of 4 meals terrible. 1 was not edible (the special). Meat on Ruben the texture of jerky. Philly cheese steak served without the cheese. Service slow at an off hour. Disappointing. Recommend finding another venue. read more

Had a great lunch here. 4 of us, one had the Philly, it was delicious and well seasoned. One had the cod sandwich, said it was good, plate was clean so I believe it. One had the kids cheeseburger, she said it was tasty. And I had the 1/2 pound burger. Cooked perfect, and very well seasoned. French fries were had by all and they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect. Place has a diners, drive ins and dives kinda vibe. Service was exceptional, that is all I can say about that. If you are in Luray, I would recommend that you check this place out for lunch. read more

Ollie Cat Cafe is such a lovely and beautiful restaurant. The staff is friendly, the food is and was absolutely wonderful. The customer service and the Aura (atmosphere) was peaceful. If you're going through Luray VA or if you're a local and haven't been to this restaurant well then this restaurant should be on your bucket list!! trust me you'll love it and won't regret it! I work here my name is LeAnn and I love my job , my co-workers & my bosses (the owners) I'm not sucking up or kissing anybody's a** I'm being genuine and honest -LeAnn read more

The service was fantastic, food came out hot and fresh. We never had to look for anyone to help us, someone was always there. Everything was good, soup was a little salty. The fried cheese cake wasn't for us but the chocolate cake was delicious! Would recommend stopping in and getting read more

asked for the Cajun chicken pasta. NO Cajun seas on it what so ever. said they forgot to put it in it smh

The service was horrible the owner scared a little girl and said it was going to be 30 min when we saw tables open and asked why we could not sit there she got in our face and said that she had to get the flow of her restaurant down and account for everyone but apparently not us. read more

Food okay. Service horrible. Three tables got up and left while we were there trying to pay our bill. The food is over priced as are the adult beverages. Don't go to this restaurant if you can avoid doing so. Owners need to be there and not assume all is well with the haphazard dregs they have as employees. read more

Staff was very nice ! But if I had to compare the decor and design to something, it would be to that of a yard sale. Very strange vibe. A lot of seafood for a "cafe" in the mountains. I mean cmon, where are you getting swordfish from ? lol. There is a speaker of a cat meowing ? Maybe it was an actual cat? Who knows? Ordered chicken tenders with BBQ sauce that tasted like general tso's sauce. read more

Ordered takeout, waited quite a while for it. After paying the bill, noticed charges that weren't explained before hand. One was for the mere fact that it was takeout! The other, we haven't figured out. The grilled mahi sandwich was very good, and I would have rated the restaurant higher, but for the unexplained and unposted extra charges. read more

Well, based on the ratings, we feel that we should've had a better experience at this restaurant. The quality of the ingredients weren't up to par. It seemed they were having trouble with the service as well as some things were forgotten. Based on the ratings, we were just expecting a better experience overall. We would not eat here again. read more

stopped in for lunch today after visiting the luray caverns and found this spot on yelp. as usual my fellow " yelpers " made the perfect recommendation! we had sandwiches and salads and both enjoyed our selection. betty was super attentive and rounded out the visit for well above average. the dining area is cute enough but the service and food are the high points for sure! read more

The food was ok, I enjoyed my steak and cheese sandwich, I found it agreeable. My husband ordered the fish sandwich. He was not impressed. The fries were spot on. It was a cute cafe, the story of Ollie was endearing. Our server, Kara Rose was attentive and super nice, I loved her. Overall it was acceptable I would return. read more

I went to lurray caverns from the dc area and stopped here for lunch afterwards. It far exceeded my expectations!!! The cod sandwich was absolutely delicious. The bun was amazing, the fried crust flavorful, the fish was fresh. Even the coleslaw was delicious. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll go again. No idea how this place only has 4 stars. It's been awhile since I was so pleased with a meal. Thank you, Ollie cat cafe! read more

A cute spot, but three people in our party ended up with food poisoning. Everyone who ordered burgers or a hot dog got very sick.

Amazing place and people food is always amazing and folks make you feel at home perfect for a family dinner or a night out

Delicious no fuss food with amazing service! Came here after seeing the Luray Caverns. There was a cafe onsite but it had terrible Yelp reviews. We got the pierogis and the Cajun chicken pasta. We decided to split the pasta and Betty our server was kind enough to split the side salad that came with it. The pasta was definitely the highlight. So glad we stopped in! Will definitely be back if we are in the area. read more

Luray is home to three rather pricey, tourist-focused restaurants, at least 10 pizza places, and the Ollie Cat Cafe, the closest mid-priced place in town that doubles as a watering hole (although their hours are a bit weird). I don't have cable or satellite TV so if I want to watch a sports game, I have to go to Hawksbill Brewery...but I digress. Ollie Cat is a very comfortable place with a solid menu of Americana (burgers, sandwiches, fish, wings, etc.) The place has a cat theme which is perfect for cat lovers like me. It actually reminds me a bit of the Fat Cat Cafe in Grand Lake, CO, another town that is adjacent to a National Park. Everything works about this place and the owners are wonderful. The best restaurant in town IMO. read more

It was fabulous. The people, the atmosphere, and especially the food! We had chicken parmigiana, hamburger, non meat burger, chicken salad, chicken fingers...there were no leftovers! And dessert! The owner stopped by the table and told us the story of Oliver, who the cafe is named after. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area or even just ready for a drive!! read more
