    Pizza
    Grace P.

    Golden Pony is fire, vibes r cool, good music clean space. I got the pizza and it was so insanely good. I also got the pretzels as an appetizer and they are so soft. The best thing about golden pony is there prices. So cheap for such good food.

    Cauliflower Wings
    Ashley R.

    Very good vegan options! The cauliflower wings were some of the best I've ever had. (And I've tried them at lots of places) ... we got buffalo, pineapple habanero, and golden. All good but Buffalo and golden were our favorites. The vegan ranch was also very good!!! And nice to find vegan ranch in general. The quinoa cakes were also so good, with the red pepper sauce being a real highlight. It seems like the mushroom Rueben could be veganized by omitting aioli and cheese. They had vegan pizza too. And a vegan salad - not enticing to me lol. They were out of the vegan cheesecake sadly due to supply chain / distribution issues with the ingredients. It may or may not ever return they said. They did have a vegan sorbet option but we didn't try it. We don't live nearby but if in the area again we'll definitely go back.

    3.26.2022 Fantastic service delivers an eclectic menu and signature cocktails, add the extended happy hour and you are Golden Pony Boy! Drink recs: Mrs. Rodriguez & the Dirty Duke Food recs: Pork Belly on a bed of sweet corn succotash, Nscho with a blend of Mexican and African flavors and Loaded Fries (standard bacon, cheese and chives). Pizza menu looked great but we ran out of room. We'll be back soon for patio dining (just a bit nippy this evening).

    Wonderful vibes in this place

    The food and drinks spot on, wonderful workers nice vibe, love the arcades rock music chill all out 100% my favorite bar

    Outside patio with shade and a cool breeze.

    Great place and great service! We eat our food too fast before we can take any pictures and I didn't want to post pictures of cleaned plate. We came here for breakfast on move-in weekend for JMU. It was "the hole in the wall" find 2 blocks past the main downtown. Go an extra two blocks and you find perfection. The pinball machines in the entrance and a gorgeous back patio under the shades of trees. We had the BLT (amazing garlic mayo) and a plate with eggs, bacon and sourdough toast. French 75 mimosa style drink was sweet and light. Richie Valens is a coffee drink which will definitely wake you up. We will be back!!

    Huevos Rancheros. YAS

    Huevos Rancheros here where pretty tasty. They let you have your eggs however you want and serve it with their spicy chili. It comes with two warmed tortillas and you can put the ingredients on the shells yourself. It makes for a messy but yummy brunch. I have also been here for the nightlife and concerts. The stage area has a bar downstairs and there is plenty of room for dancing and jamming out. Check it out if you're looking for life music in a more private and intimate setting than Clementine's.

    Great place for drinks! Plus vegan food options. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a nice tree covered patio out back.

    I found out they have a new chef and they got rid of a lot of the vegetarian/vegan options. I will miss the prince burger dearly

    I can't eat pizza anywhere else without longing for a pony pie, a heavenly slice of Frida Kale-o.

The vibe is truly what you make it, there isnt a large crowd or loud music, so bring the right company and you're guaranteed a great time. Whether you're rolling in with a big group or just a few friends, they make it easy, with separate checks, and even personalized orders by the awesome bartender. The experience is smooth from start to finish, so nothing gets in the way of enjoying yourself and the company you are with. Between the delicious food, good energy, and conversations that seem to flow effortlessly, it's the kind of place you'll want to linger. And let's not forget the art covered walls, perfect for capturing those Instagram worthy moments. If you wake up hungry and ready for brunch, Clementine is definitely the spot to be.

The experience usually great, which is why we keep coming back, and the menu is always fun! The service started great and the food came looking fantastic as usual, until I found a long hair in my bowl. Molly was very apologetic once we showed her the hair and she took it inside to show the kitchen. I told her I don't want another bowl , as I didn't want the food to go to waste and didn't have time to wait for a new one. Here is were the service turned south; - Molly didn't come back to check on us or fill the water cups - We didn't get a discount of any kind in the check, as you would normally expect! - I expected the chef or the manager on duty to come out and apologize, but that didn't happen. - Finally, Molly brought our check when we finished eating and didn't ask if we are interested in desserts, as typically the case! Just very odd reaction to an issue Like this, and shows lack of professionalism and training on behalf of the management on how to deal with bad customer experience like a hair in the food. By the way, I'm bold, so the long hair is from the kitchen!

It's small inside, but jam-packed with a hundred unique musical novelties. Jewelry shaped like instruments, umbrellas with notes on them, bowties with piano keys, wine bottle holders made from actual piano keys, a small selection of vinyl records, books...one on how to tune a piano, CDs, etc... I can't remember it all, and it was quite overwhelming. I do know they didn't have a welcome mat, which is what I really wanted. I was told they'd hopefully have one by the holidays. So I'll be returning...also because it's where I travel for work. But if you're in Staunton, this shop is not to be missed. It's like a musical etsy conglomerate. Respect it.

They come to Staunton from all over the world and It is a great blessing to have them here to share their talent.

It is a wonderful surprise that they are located in Staunton and not a large metropolitan area!
