    Breakfast Burrito
    Eli V.

    If you're in Harrisonburg, you have to eat here. The breakfast is amazing and the service is just as good. they don't take reservations, it's first-come, first-served!!! and word has clearly gotten out! Expect a wait of about an hour on weekends. Pro tip: Get there early or plan to put your name on the list and they'll notify you when your table is ready.

    Neat little place for breakfast. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food! The cheese grits are AMAZING, and I love my cheese grits!!! Short wait time.

    You know you're here.

    Tight space but very fun interior. Eclectic food all done well. Lovely staff make you feel welcome. The biscuit was a highlight and the grain pancake had a lovely cinnamon kick.

    Our favorite spot to stop while on a trip to Harrisonburg. After a mediocre experience the day before we just wanted old time diner food. The restaurant itself is small, but arriving around 9AM got us a booth right away. I got an iced chai and it was one of the best I've ever had - clearly made in house. The corned beef hash was incredible and the buttermilk biscuit on the side was clearly house ande. The potato boat was also good and seasoned well. Service was attentive and not overbearing. They also offered the hot drip coffee to go which was a nice touch. My only complaint is that they serve the exact same menu on weekends as weekdays yet charge more for every item. The cost of doing business with tourists I guess? However this wouldn't deter us if we were back in the area

    Focaccia Yeah!
    Ani K.

    I loved the restaurant's decorations and vibes. It was cute and intimate. The service was friendly, personal, and efficient. The menu is chalk-full of delicious, creative, and filling food- and at a good price point. I recommend The Little Grill to anyone wanting a quaint lil brunch moment

    Overeasy eggs and their homemade sausage patty.

    Always great food & the service is good as well. The place is small so expect to wait for a bit because it's usually busy on the weekends. The ambience is eclectic and that's an understatement.

    Everybody else us right! Little Grill is a delight. Lovely food, sweet server, fun funky decor, and lots of customers having a good time. Really a great stop in Harrisonburg.

    Huevos Rancheros with scrambled tofu substituted
    Rekha P.

    Hands down the BEST vegetarian brunch I have eaten. Definitely give this place a visit. A small, cutesy place that caters to vegetarians beautifully. Had their Huevos Rancheros with scrambled tofu substituted for eggs. Delicious, wholesome and good portion size. The dish had Indian spices that were made in house. Great work guys! Keep up the great work!

    Hearty grain pancakes with pecans
    Brian R.

    Great little breakfast spot in Harrisonburg. While the place might be small and have limited seating, the atmosphere is inviting and the restaurant is very clean and organized for a busy place. The service was very friendly and cleared dishes, refilled coffee, and checked in on us frequently. The food and coffee were fresh, hot and fantastic. I recommend The Little Grill to anyone looking for a hearty and quality breakfast.

    I used to go here when I was a student at JMU back in the 90s so I'm glad to see it is still going strong. The food and the service was great. Definitely a go-to spot when you're in the 'burg. Make sure you download the app and put yourself on the waitlist. It does get busy especially on the weekends and they don't take reservations.

    Great place. Service was fantastic. Owner (I think) was out thanking people for coming. The atmosphere is great. Like walking into somebody's old old house. Reminded me of my grandparents house. Clean but definitely aged. The food was fantastic. Biscuit egg sanwhich with ham = fantastic. Focaccia egg sandwich with potatoes = perfect. Now you might think you can't mess up pancakes but you can, so I appreciated their excellent pancakes. Had the regular buttermilk and they were excellent. Got a side of house sausage. It was a patty and it fit perfectly between the two pancakes. It was great. Would eat every day. Had iced latte that table said was great. I had drip coffee and it was excellent. I want to say again the service was what made this place a great place to go.

    Breakfast

    The best spot in town! Hospitable- tasty, and such small town funky charm. Tons of plant based options and I love that they have seasonal menus! 10/10 experience, I'm actually elated we stopped in! Tatum was a kind and skillful server!

We started with an order of dolma- grape leaves stuffed with seasoned rice and cooked to just the right consistency- nothing was still crunchy, nothing was yet mushy. They vanished like djinn in the dawn, before I could get a picture. With them arrived our beverages- fountain drinks of the usual sorts. (Coke products.) As an Alan Parsons fan, I ordered The Pyramid - a homemade pita mounded with lettuce, tomato, homemade guacamole, brilliantly seasoned chicken cooked to perfection and served with rice, green beans, Muenster cheese and a marvelously spiced sour cream sauce. My Bride got the Loaded Greek- an Acropolis of fries, topped with a temple to the Muse of Gyros. Caramelised onions, red peppers, gyro meat, olives and tomatoes covered with feta and tzatziki. We split both dishes, enjoyed them thoroughly, and found ourselves sadly too full for dessert. The rice pudding and baklava combo is calling me to return... The total for this repast was a mere $34.42 before tip. More than reasonable, and just one more reason I'll be back!

I will admit I am not the biggest fan of Pho as I don't eat beef and have been disappointed in the past by most non-beef Pho options. However, this place has great reviews so I wanted to check it out. One thing about me, even if I don't like something, I will always keep giving it another shot! I'm so glad I did because the moment we walked in, I could tell this place would be good. It smelled incredible in there! Also this place was packed, and more and more people kept coming in within the hour of them being closed. You can definitely tell that this is a local favorite, especially for JMU students. I got the seafood pho and was blown away! It was so flavorful and actually tasted phenomenal. I ate every bit of it. In the past I've found Pho to be bland, but not this one! I added a ton of condiments and such to it which made it even better. My husband got a weekend special, I believe it was a pork chop plate and he really enjoyed his dish as well.

I think it was because they enjoyed working there. Or, at least it give them a chance to eat some really tasty food. I had their Cubano Tartine. That's kind of like an omelet with the ingredients of a Cubano sandwich, except for the roll, mixed in. (And yes, I get that the cooking process is a bit different.) ' Anyway, this Cubano Tartine shows up on a plate in front of me. I dig in and keep digging. The ingredients, ham, cheese, pickles, etc, were plentiful and delicious. They were sitting on an ample slice of their sourdough bread. That was the first issue. It was IMPOSSIBLE to cut. I guess I could have asked for a steak knife or maybe a power tool. But, there was so much other stuff that I was able to have a very filling meal without it. The other issue was that the lightly dressed side salad was doused in dressing. Again, didn't complain because, for me, it wasn't a problem during this visit. Issues aside, if I come back to Hagerstown, I'll look for an excuse to come back.
