    Great ambiance, service and even greater tasting food. We are in town for vacation but would definitely return to this restaurant if we are in the area.

    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.

    Cutest coffee mugs

    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

    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.

    Focaccia Yeah!

    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

    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.

    Strawberry rhubarb shortcake pancakes
    Mike N.

    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.

    Eclectic energy! We…read morewere steered here for lunch, based on its Yelp reviews. Thank you, again, Yelp. The waitstaff was more than pleasant, they were fun. 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.

Simply put, the bodega breakfast sandwich might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever eaten. I took it to eat on the road and was startled about how delicious it was. The freshly baked (you can tell) brioche bun with everything bagel seasoning on top added a great salty taste to go along with the tasty stuff inside. I've traveled all over the country for work for 20+ years, and like I said, this might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! To top it off, the staff was super nice.

Enjoyed the…read moreFull Tea, which included unlimited tea, 3 savory sandwiches, 3 sweets, and a fresh generously sized scone (today's flavor was lemon and ginger). Seriously, these were some of the best scones I've ever had - crispy sweet outer texture, soft and fluffy on the inside, no crumbly mess like other scones. Wide selection of teas to choose from - I picked the lightly fruity Lady Grey, my husband the warm and toasty Genmaicha. And the savory sandwiches were a step up from the basic white bread standard - roast beef on a pretzel bun, tuna on a croissant, open faced cucumber, chicken with roasted red pepper spread.
