This place used to be good but I needed to update my review as it has gone down hill and the food quality has changed... last time we went was the last time we will ever go- food was cold, old tasting and I was actually scared to eat it...it's sad because this place could have been a great little place.. read more

It's rare that I write a review on the first visit, but I'm not a local & my opportunity to have a return visit is remote. We were a party of three; two of us ordered the 4-piece fried chicken dinner with side dishes. The waitress said it would be 20 minutes for the fried chicken, because they make it fresh. That was fine with us. During the wait, I was served a massive side salad that unfortunately was buried in shredded cheddar cheese. I'm not a big fan of cheese on salads... It seems like an unnecessary addition to an otherwise beautiful bowl of greens, tomatoes, sliced hard boiled egg and onions. And, the salad dressing came in packets, ugh. First disappointment. Our second disappointment came when the fried chicken was brought out. Instead of each of us getting four pieces, they had two pieces (a breast and leg) on one plate and two pieces (a leg and a wingding...see pic) on another, with the promise of another round coming. It was about another 15 minutes before the next round of chicken came (a breast, a thigh, a leg and a wingding), so the assortment was off by a thigh (our favorite chicken part). In all fairness, our sides were tasty...Finely shredded coleslaw in a sweet dressing, super creamy mac & cheese & fresh-cut french fries. They looked promising. The letdown came with the ketchup we had to ask for (because not every table had its own bottle)...it wasn't Heinz, or any other recognizable brand name. And it just didn't taste like it belonged with their fresh-cut fries. Really, no Heinz ketchup?!? This Pittsburgh guy was disappointed for a 3rd time. Before/if I go back, I'll have to call them and see if they have better ketchup on the table... Who has heard of a non-Heinz (or other brand-name) ketchup on a restaurant table? C'mon folks...you've been in business for too long not to get your timing, dressings & ketchup right! read more

This has become our go to place in the Berkeley Springs area. Delicious comfort food served pretty quickly and decent prices. Wish they would bring back the chicken fried steak though! read more

Really nice home cooking. Not a chain. Some of the best liver and onions I've had in a long time. We ate my wife's leftovers that night. Big portions. read more

Always seems to be busy but never had to wait for a table. They focus on beef, here, local and good! Full American food restaurant, but no bar. You won't go hungry! read more

Went for breakfast and OMG the amount of food for the price is amazing. And the food is really good!

Tried this place because it's on the way into Berkley Springs. The place is bigger than you might think walking in. Parking lot isn't huge but I don't think you would have a problem. You are able to call ahead and they will either bring you or just let your waitress know you already called ahead when you sit. I ordered the pit beef and mashed potatoes. I liked my meal but honestly it wasn't anything special. The beef was a little dry, was glad they had the BBQ sauce ready. The Cole slaw was great. People definitely have their own way of making it and I'm a fan of this one! They must know people (myself included) have no self control. There is a fridge of delicious looking (and tasting) pies. I, of course, sat looking at it the whole meal and HAD to try a piece. It was chocolate peanut butter YUMMMM!!! I asked for it to go since I was full from the meal. I gave four stars since the food was just ok and the service was slow. Waitress didn't check on us till we were finished our meal and I needed a refill way before that. I would go here again and now know what to expect. read more

Quaint restaurant, covenient location between Hancock and Berkely Springs. The attentive service is a rarity anymore. We had burgers - nice selection, large portion of hand cut fries. The Vegetable soup was delicious and definitely homemade. Prices were great. We have a new stopping point! read more

The FOOD - beautiful prepared and thoughtfully so. I wish I had taken a photo. We shared a steak and cheese - beautiful white rectangular plate. Cheese, mushrooms and cheese in an open presentation. Just fantastic! Fantastic service - attentive and helpful! We had been here a long time ago and remember when it was built. Thank you! read more

This place used to be worth the money now their prices truly match the portions you receive, and very bland. Been there many times before the global panic, took my Grandchildren there today and barely made it home, if you know what I mean. Straight through me. The waitress, short lady with blonde hair, seemed she wished she could have been somewhere besides there. I'm wondering if the owner retired and handed it over to someone else? Sorry, can't recommend anymore. read more

Place dosnt look like much from the outside but once you order you realize some small little hole in the wall places are the best kept secrets! Myself and my hubby enjoy are routine weekend breakfast here! We have grown to love the waitresses and there breakfast is spot on!! The sausage gravy over biscuits is OMG! so good ! the biscuits soft and fluffy and the gravy is perfection!! i also love getting a blueberry pancake which is the size of the plate you'll only need one with a side of bacon and grits!! you'll never leave hungry portion sizes are large !! This is one of our go to breakfast spots as a local you should definitely check it out read more

AWFUL. GROSS. Nasty. I could go on, but I'll resist. This place used to be AAAAAAA-mazing! The food was great, prices cheap, large portions, friendly and prompt service and clean. The last 4 times I have been there it has consistently went down hill!!! Service is slow, we have had to ask for our drinks, ask for refills (ON COMPLETELY EMPTY CUPS!), food was brought out luke warm or cold. It has been dirty, tables sit with dishes, flies are inside...food portions have went down in size. I also had a tip put on a card AFTER I had paid and LEFT! I only seen it on my bank acct, called management and per mgmt it was an "accident". It didn't even make the bill an even amount (like a round up tip--say 51.14 to 55.00) it was like 58.83. they did credit it but I have zero belief it was accidental. Avoid this. Until new mgmt or staff take over; this place was once a gem and now is a lump of coal. read more

I left a review previously, but unfortunately things have gotten worse here. The last time my husband and I ate here the restaurant was filthy and had flies everywhere! My iced tea tasted funny and I asked the waitress if I could get something else. She said yes and then explained that I wasn't the first to say it tasted funny and it was probably because they don't clean the tea containers daily anymore. The food has gone down in quality, standards and taste. This is very sad since when they first opened it was very good! My father in law just ate here last week. He ordered a hamburger and thought it tasted funny. Turned out the meat was spoiled. He wound up with food poisoning. The waitress did take his meal off the ticket and sent another girl into the kitchen to check on the meat. She indicated it might not be in the refrigerator and could possibly just be sitting out getting too warm. It's very concerning what is actually going on at the restaurant now. I hope they look into the issues and make the needed changes. Especially the issues with food standards and quality. But my recommendation to you at this time is just don't stop here. Keep going. There are other restaurants in both Berkeley Springs and Hancock where you can eat. read more

Not from the area, just passing through. We seen the sign on the highway and decided to stop here because it wasn't a chain restaurant. Boy did we have a treat! The owner was very happy to have our very large group and the food did not disappoint! My daughter said it was the best Club Sandwich she's ever had! My BTL was phenomenal! The guys had breakfast and they were beyond pleased! We can't wait to stop there again when we pass through!! The owners literally made us feel like family! You can't beat that type of service anymore!! I'd give 100 stars if I could! read more

Ok. We stopped despite the average Yelp rating and were very glad we did. It's country cooking. If that's not what you want don't stopped. We really enjoyed it. Liver and onions were on point read more

I've tried this place a hand full of times since it opened. I've never had a decent meal and the service has always been lacking. I haven't returned in a couple of years and I probably won't. read more

Excellent burgers and my husband had the beef pot roast which was also delicious. Not many restaurants offer several side choices with a burger. We live a couple hours away but we will definitely be back. read more

We have driven by here a number of times and have always talked about stopping by..first it looks old but retro on the inside. The staff are really friendly and we went with the recommended Cheeseburger and fries for him and I got coleslaw instead of fries and we both got Swiss Cheese. The slaw and fries were very good, the burger was good size and the meat looked good. Well.....the burger was greasy, almost soaking my bun, and there was,it seemed like, 1/4 pound of cheese on it. Now I like cheese, no, I LOVE cheese but this was so much that I had to take some off. Last of all is the bathroom...now no one has ever accused me of being ocd but beside the toilet tank could use a swifter and the corners of the floor needed a good scrubbing. Hopefully the place can get a good physical upgrade. I'm willing to try there again but will not be getting the cheeseburger or melted cheese on anything read more

This place is terrible my wife, kids and I literally waited an hour and half for our food to even begin cooking. Only to have them come tell me what I ordered wasn't available. Then when I didn't want anything they magically found "enough" to make mine. The floors were covered in food they use 2 liter soda and throw away plastic cups. I will never come back and I will steer anyone away from this place that asks. Should have just went to McDonald's. read more

My wife had her debit card compromised. No more here for us. Food good though. Parking ok

My lunch experience was OK. You seat yourself, so you hope someone notices you after you sit down. This took a little longer than it should have in my case. The good news was my fried fish sandwich was really good. Unfortunately, the fries were cold and mushy. Hence the 3/5. read more

We have been wanting to stop and eat here for awhile and today we had the opportunity. We wish we hadn't. They had just stopped serving breakfast so we couldn't get ideas of what to order off the other patrons. Since we were still on breakfast time we went for the all day breakfast. Who can screw up breakfast? Well they can. Hash browns were deep fried fastfood triangles. Eggs over cooked and rubbery. Bacon plenty of it but hard as a rock and no flavor. Sausage same thing cooked so much it was dry and hard jerky like. Coffee smelled great but tasted like the local water. After watching the lunch service come out i am glad we didn't try something higher priced as there was nothing fresh all food service freezer and canned food with the possible exception of the French fries and i say possible as you can buy frozen that look the same. read more

Food was very good. But the service was horrible. Lot of waitresses, but most were standing around. The ones that were working were rude. Won't be back. read more

We were looking for something not too far off the beaten path. Food was MADE FROM SCRATCH and DELICIOUS! We were thanked more than once for coming in. SUPER FRIENDLY service! Great stop! read more

"I LEFT MAD " --- I don't know how good the food taste because I never got to eat any. My wife and I were seated and sat there for around 10 minutes with absolutely no service! waitresses made eye contact with us but never made any effort to get to us.. I finally decided to get up and just leave!!! I will say the food looked good the other customers had but the management could work on the friendliness and service of their staff. read more

As advertised the chicken was excellent the deep fried breading was very good. I could say it was the best chicken I have had. The menu clearly states there is a 20 minute wait and that's exactly what it took. However, the potatoes and gravy and green beans where from a can in a truck stop variety of food. The inside ambience was 1950s chrome tables and chairs. The prices were very reasonable and reflected the decor. With a mixed review I would go again. read more

I recently started going to the Potomac River Grill, and I am glad I did. I passed it so many times heading to Berkley Springs. It has a good atmosphere and the food is very good, moderately priced, with large portions. The waitresses are very friendly. I would give the Potomac River Grill five stars out of five. read more

The fried chicken is delicious, with the fries and gravy mmm mmm. Add a salad and you got a feast.

My family of five stopped here on our way home after some hiking nearby. We had worked up quite an appetite and this place did not disappoint!! Every one of us had a wonderful meal... eggs and bacon, delish homemade beef and vegetable soup, a steak and cheese and a burger. Everything was hot, delicious and homemade and the service was great! We will be coming back for sure! read more

This wonderful diner has friendly small-town service and generously portioned meals. After camping for the weekend in Green Ridge, my friends and I were hungry and looking for a hearty meal. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and my husband ordered a cheeseburger. Although the portions are large, I'm glad we both ordered fries because they were too good to share! We all were satisfied with our meals, the friendless, and the bill! read more

This was a pleasant experience. I ordered the salmon with the homemade coleslaw and seasoned fries which came piping hot. The salmon was flavorful. My friend had the huge bowl of homemade chili which and a plentiful Cobb salad. Our service was great. Prices reasonable. This was a great choice when traveling through. read more

Normally a great place to stop. The waitresses are efficient and nice to talk to. Their fried chicken is wonderful. Last 2 times we stopped in, however, they were out of the chicken. What's up with that. They were even out of beef? I don't want a sandwich. I'll improve the rating if they bring back the chicken. read more

Disappointing. My steak was chewy and mostly inedible. Everything else was fine. But come on, it's got grill in the name and a cow on the sign, they should be able to cook a steak. Upside is the staff was friendly. read more

Great meal, generous portions and friendly servers. Very nice small business . Short drive from 70. Glad we stopped

Stopped here for an early lunch on the way to Blue Ridge Parkway. Bacon cheeseburger, BLT and large fries to share with two iced teas for around $20 bucks nice quaint country diner with friendly staff. read more

This is worth the short trip of the interstate if you need something to eat. We like to stop at places that we do not have at home when traveling and this place did not disappoint. Between us we had the double decker BLT. Cheese steak sandwich and a cheeseburger. The hand cut fries were the best! read more

Nice local place and appeared to be a good place for breakfast. Service was really slow for two orders of bacon and eggs. Food was served cold and was not seasoned. read more

Got the Hawaiian Burger. It was really good and so was the service. Could have been a little cleaner but actually like the small town dinner feel. read more

Stopped by for Sunday lunch Nov 10, party of five traveling and looking for a local place to eat. Slow, very slow service, several of us had a taste for their advertised french fries, they were cold when finally served, were not able to eat. Sandwiches severs were not as described on menu. Staff had little time for us but always seemed to group together at counter. Had to bring check to them to leave. Guess this is why so many McDonalds are long the highway. read more
