    French toast
    Anibal O.

    Went here on accident it was a beautiful one! Place was loud but clean, seems to be a locals spot it's small and so is is the parking lot I would go early... they serve Mexican and American breakfast and brunch... coffee was on point and we so was the soup!!! Had the huevos ranchero and French toast and it was amazing! Would strongly suggest the place

    Yet another 5-star experience. We went for breakfast and arrived around 9am on a Sunday. There were a couple tables full but otherwise fairly empty. That didn't last long! Within 1/2-hour the place was PACKED with people waiting to be seated. Despite the full crowd, we got our food quickly and it was just as delicious as before. My husband got the chicken & waffles. I got the avocado toast. Both were filling and delicious! This is one of our favorite breakfast spots!

    Avocado toast and poached eggs with home fries! Was the best!! The food is the best here and the Owners are great! Thank you for serving our community!!!

    Chorizo con huevos
    Chelsea M.

    Okay food, was not worth the cost! The kids liked their pancakes which came with bacon, but they were very dense, bland, dry, and overall okay. I had the chorizo con huevos with home style potatoes and toast. I much prefer tortillas when ordering chorizo and eggs. The dryness of the toast doesn't complement the eggs. My husband had the pancake as well and he was not at all impressed. I would prefer to go to ihop or a smaller diner for an equally good breakfast with half the cost! $80 for breakfast?! That's insane. The service was nice, and the place is cleaner than the last time I came. This time it didn't smell of urine. The ambiance feels outdated and cluttered but to each their own. I know we won't be coming back.

    My wife and I had breakfast on a Friday around 9:15 a.m. In our 26 years eating at places around Harpers Ferry, we have been to most of the ones that cater to the eggs and coffee crowd; thus, it was time to try someplace new. Web searching led to Rossy's Place. It is near one of our regular areas to shop anyway (Flowing Springs Road) but we didn't know that we had hit the food jackpot, to steal a phrase from casino advertising. The breakfast menu offered numerous choices for picky eaters. Chris loved the breakfast potatoes, we both enjoy Black Dog Coffee and we both had veggie omelets. The food arrived quickly and hot. People were chatting with the owner and across the booths to each other. As other Yelpers have mentioned, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We both cannot wait to try some of the lunch menu. I even told Rossy about DubVEatz delivery service so maybe in the future we can get delivery on the mountain! All around good experience here. [Note: the building has been painted teal so a new outside photo added.]

    Pan con chicharrón
    Ashley H.

    Came after a day at Harpers Ferry; on a Sunday the parking lot for this establishment, which is just off of a road, was almost completely full. That was the first sign to us that this was a place for locals. We happened to come the last day before they closed for vacation, so they were out of some items. No problems there, totally understand. It took awhile for them to get our order, the table next to us complained, but considering this is the reality for many restaurants during this time, I wasn't fazed by the wait. It was also at capacity, so almost every table was full at 12 PM on a Sunday. My family enjoyed their cod sandwiches, while I liked my pan con chicharron. I made a point to order something Peruvian since I'd never had that kind of food before, and so the pan con chicharron comes on a toasted ciabatta roll with fried pork, a red onion relish (which was loaded with cilantro, so if you don't like cilantro ask for regular onions perhaps), and a sweet potato on the bun. It came with a side of home fries. I thought it was really good! The sweet potato added a nice touch, and there was almost too much on the sandwich (which I liked) for the size of the roll. The table next to us got regular breakfast, which smelled divine. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd get breakfast because it looked good.

    Beef Stroganoff
    Brad M.

    "Voted Best Fried Chicken by a Yelp review." I have never read a more accurate statement. I was camping nearby and I enjoyed the food and service so much that I had to come back once more before I went home. The service was outstanding and the food tasted amazing. My first visit, I had breakfast: chicken and waffles, (I've never had it this way before) but they put sausage gravy on their chicken and waffles. It's a great combination, rich with flavor and the syrup too. I also had Huevos rancheros which was just as amazing. For dinner my significant other ha the beef stroganoff, I grew up on this dish along with Hungarian beef goulash and it's nice to see some people can make home cooked comfort meals. The chicken wings were also great, fried to perfection and with just enough spice. Lastly to finish it all off the most important piece to the puzzle here was the upside down pineapple cake. This was AMAZING. Rich in flavor it tasted great. Try it for yourself. It was comforting to find such an amazing place with great tasting food and perfect service. I'd recommend to all.

    birria tacos
    Brian D.

    I live right up the road from this place, but I avoided going there for over a year after they opened. You see, over the years I have watched so many businesses go into this location and be, to be blunt, horribly disappointing. For instance, it was a bar last time, but while talking to one of the owners he told me that none of his family drank and they really didn't know anything about alcohol or running a bar. It showed, and it closed. After seeing so many businesses fail here, I figured that Rossy's was just going to be another disappointment. Holy crap was I wrong. The first signal to me that Rossy's was going to succeed was all the upgrades that they added to the outside of the building. They added a lot more parking, and just made the place look a lot more appealing. Of course, being a restaurant, decor and appearance matters a lot less to me than the food and the service. Both are outstanding at Rossy's. The restaurant was only running at half capacity when we went because of covid restrictions, so we were told there would be a bit of a wait. Based on reviews and pictures we had seen of the food, we were fine with waiting. The place was super busy with a lot of take out orders in addition to every table that they were allowed to fill being occupied. It took about 30 minutes to get a table, but was well worth the wait. Once we got to our table, we ordered a couple appetizers which came out pretty quickly. We got nachos topped with lomo saltado and buffalo shrimp. The lomo saltado was fantastic. The steak is super flavorful and tender. I would like to tell you that the shrimp were delicious, but my wife ate them all like a ravenous beast before I could get any. Judging by the fact that they disappeared in about 60 seconds, I'm guessing that they were pretty delicious. My wife got the fish and chips, which she loved. The fish was well cooked and flaky, with a nice crispy shell of batter around it. My personal recommendation is that when your server hands you the menu, just give it right back to them. While the menu has a lot of great items on it (like the fish and chips), the real story here is the SPECIALS!! I had been seeing pictures of the birria tacos on facebook for a couple of weeks before we ate here for the first time, so I knew that was what I wanted. I had never heard of birria tacos until I started seeing posts about Rossy's birria tacos online. For those unfamiliar with them like I was, birria tacos are made by braising beef in a flavorful broth. The meat is removed and shredded. The tortillas are dunked in the broth, then loaded with meat and cheese, and then onto the flat top to get the cheese melted. Along with the two tacos, you get a bowl of the broth that the meat was cooked in. First of all, look at the picture of those tacos. I don't want to exaggerate, but each taco weighed about 75 pounds. I think I dislocated my shoulder picking one up. The tacos are so juicy and flavorful, and the broth is simply amazing. I would buy it by the gallon. It really is a huge amount of incredibly delicious food for the price. If you are looking for a great meal with great service, Rossy's is definitely a top notch place to go.

    The food is ok, it's way overpriced, service is horrible and slow. I stopped for lunch and spent an hour and half. Not a restaurant I'd go back to.

    $123 for breakfast! Outrageous! While I understand that the price of food has increased exponentially, this is almost unbelievable! My husband, kids and father in law went this morning and had a mediocre experience in general. My husbands pancakes were so hard and stiff he stated they could be used as frisbees. Everything else was average. $4 cup of brewed coffee??? Come on.... They will not return. The service was only mediocre as well. This is DC prices in good ole' Charles Town WV. With these prices, you would expect the food to be phenomenal but sadly, it's not. Buyer beware.

    Heuvos rancheros
    Ward D.

    Driven by here a 100 times. Now kicking myself for not stopping to eat before today. Went in at about 10:00 and had a delicious brunch. Huevos rancheros were excellent. Nice crispy tortillas with the perfect ratio of black beans, ( a nice twist on refried pintos), eggs and a nice fresh ranchera sauce. My son had Huevos con chorizo and he devoured them. I believe the family here is Peruvian and there are authentic Latin dishes as well as a good assortment of traditional American food. This is a hidden gem. Don't judge this book by it's cover. It's clean and appealing inside and the service was top notch.

    Country Meatloaf

    Small little restaurant with plenty of great food. I ordered the meatloaf, although a bit on the salty side it was cooked well. The veggies perfectly cooked and balanced the meal. The mashed potatoes are incredible, very tasty. The absolute best part of the meal was the tres leches dessert! A repeat visit is needed just for the dessert alone. Looking forward to trying out their other dishes as well. Good place. The staff is amazing and very attentive to your needs.

We researched a bit and saw that Snallygasters was nearby had good reviews and the food pics looked good so we checked it out. Atmosphere was cozy with interesting decor and a lively crowd of customers in almost a full house as this was Sunday night. It took a little time to be seated and have our order placed but again they were busy so when our Waitress Piper came she was more than accommodating, super friendly and kind to us which made it all good. She guided us through the specials and since we were new to the restaurant steered is to some good choices. Our meals arrived hot fresh and delectable as this was fine cuisine and not your ordinary restaurant fare. We had a shrimp and chorizo dish and also a chicken and vegetable dish which both looked amazing and tasted even better. We were very pleasantly surprised and devoured both our entrees!! Lol! We even ordered dessert to go as we saw another table served a huge piece of ny cheesecake and being native New Yorkers on vacation we thought how appropo as we'll bring it to our room and enjoy as it was getting near there closing time (9pm.) We will definitely be back after enjoying so thoroughly our first picks as we are intrigued to see how the other dishes are. Our only small complaint would be the dessert we brought back to the room was a very small tiny slice and not like the one we saw in the restaurant being served to the table behind us and for ten bucks we were disappointed at its size even though it tasted great. Our waitress Piper made our evening enjoyable being so helpful and nice and we really appreciate that as the server can make or break your meal. Last thought many dogs allowed in restaurant. ( 3 at the time of our dinner.) We love dogs and we're petting the one nearest to us as it kept walking over to my wife as she was seated awaiting our order however it was inconvenient navigating the dining floor with so many pets about and eating with them in such close proximity was a turn off I will not lie and these were not service animals. Over all we really enjoyed Snallygasters as the service of Piper was great and the cusine superb and the atmosphere lively and clean. A bigger piece of dessert and more restrained pets would be an improvement in our opinion. Still all in all we give five stars and highly recommend. We will be back soon.

    We had a wonderful dinner here. A real gem! Will be coming back as soon as possible, especially for…read morethe drinks!

Like an hour (ish) drive. So what's happening in HP? The Barn out Washington St. had a MemorialDay weekend all-day mostly-country music event 2pm to 10:30pm! Very nice. They have a great little bar inside, and sometimes have food from one of the restaurants across the parking lot, or just walk over for takeout, or i think i read that they deliver here. By the way, parking can get a little tight for a bigger event like this one, but we were early enough, maybe 1pm, and we scored a space when someone left. I might as well add that there's several clean restrooms sort of across from the bar. We settled into a huge comfy couch near the back of the hall, behind the seating for roughly 30 at tables and picnic tables. There was also seating for roughly 20 at tables out on a deck. The first solo singer-guitarist, D.C.'s Kate Smiles, had a lovely voice and sweetly original interpretations of rock and pop and country songs that i knew, and a presence that made me say, Hey, Wow, I can relax in this mellow mood with a really nice whiskey from a list that my local bar would envy. By the way, they were out of the local whiskey, Devil's Due, so i had a warming fiery oaky slightly-sweet Elijah Craig bourbon, neat, with a water back. Mmmmm. The second musician, W.V.'s Andrew Copenhaver, moved among soulful blues and country, some classics, some modern. He could put an edge on his voice, and he could hit some deep bass notes, so it was a real pleasure when he gave us Folsom Prison Blues. When you can hit that low note, you have a right to do some Johnny Cash. By now i was into some crisp local beers. That little bar really has everything, including a versatile bartender who made every drink we knew, and we sampled his skills as the third musician, NoVA's Mark Cullinane, took the stage. He had a wide range of country songs, including a moving original that made us feel we were driving in our pickup behind his dad's. He had a great rich tone and great range. Like the second musician, he used some kind of looper to create full layers of harmony. What with all the beverages, we started to fade a little as the music moved into the set by NoVA's seriously-country Rowdy Ace Band around 8pm. They really lit up the hall and the patio and probably a good piece of nearby Harpers Ferry. We eventually moved on to our reservations for dinner across the parking lot at Snallygaster's restaurant. But that's another story. We had a terrific afternoon and evening. The Barn will definitely be one of our go-to spots in this town, and we'll be looking to hear these musicians again!

I appreciated their thorough vegetarian labeling; of course some things were not available to me that I wish they would make vegetarian, but the most important thing is being able to make informed decisions. I skipped the ma po tofu this time, but they claim it offers genuine numbing sensations and they did enough to convince me that it might be worth coming back to try.
