The tuna on sourdough was also nice and fresh , the bread is slightly toasted which made it hold up well to the tuna without getting soggy.

But be warned the only restrooms porta potty. Definitely will be back !

I stopped in for dinner , after the Luray Caverns and Cooters, yesterday, June 13, 2026, and felt…read morethat warm, homy feeling as soon as I walked in. Shannon, the owner and I chatted for quite awhile on how "Ollie Cat Cafe" came to be. The restaurant location on how many different things it was previous was quite fascinating, soda shop, pharmacy, opera house. Loved, the vibe and feel from this small town cafe. The atmosphere, passion, and dedication of Shannon , as one of the owners is something; I personally haven't seen in quite awhile in a restaurant. I ordered the Panko seasoned flounder sandwich that was outstanding, delicious, light and flavorful. The sandwich came with the side, and was delighted that they were fresh vegetable medley with the perfect amount of seasoning. Wonderful staff and dining experience. If you are local to Luray, VA , Harrisonburg, VA or surrounding areas; support Ollie Cat Cafe, youll be happy you did. If your on vacation, and looking to support, a local hardworking couple and a unique flavor palate menu, that Tim & Shannon bring with their Florida background, this is your cafe.

I was really pulling for this one, but it just fell flat where it really counted. The local…read moreneighborhood vibe was there, the eclectic decors was really on point and I loved the vintage booths. The waitstaff were very friendly, and the place was really well kept clean and presentable. The down side... right off the jump, the water they served us was not drinkable. I'm not being pretentious here, I was legitimately concerned after taking that first sip if I was going to spend the night over the toilet. I did not take another sip, and told my family not to ether. The food took a while, and I don't mind a wait for good eats. But the other reviews on here were right, it was tasteless and seemed to be served right out of a frozen food box. I had the chicken parm sandwich, the scolding hot marinara sauce was burnt by every measure, and the fried chicken patty was still cold in the middle. To the restaurants credit, they did not mess up the fry's. My family's meals were similar, with my wife having the cordon blue with similar results in the fried chicken, and my daughter who loves chicken fingers, not eating more than the one. Overall I think this place has the potential to be good, but they need to fix their kitchen before they do anything else.

You need to treat yourself to the sublime. I did that on Saturday night. I had dinner at Porch & Vine Restaurant in Luray, VA. The Ambiance is warm and welcoming, as is the staff. The menu is creative and prepared to perfection. Everyone LOVES what they do and it shows in their attention to detail and the service they provide. Treat yourself after a long day or a tough week, have an inspiring experience at Porch & Vine in Luray. Outdoor seating available when Mother Nature co-operates.

I just want to say that I had planned an entire weekend to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and I…read morewas completely disappointed by how we were treated. I had been messaging the owner, Tony, weeks prior to arriving and he had seemed very supportive and excited to have us. We had planned to have a printed menu with catered specifically to us and when we arrived all we got was a tacky birthday balloon on the table. The hostess was definitely treating us differently and we were some of the only people of color in the restaurant. I have been to other places in the Shenandoah area and I have never experienced something like this where I just felt like I wasn't welcomed at all. I highly recommend Rhouse Wine if you want a similar vibe with very accepting and friendly staff. I had gone up to tell the hostess about my previous emails with the owner and she said "oh I forgot I got a text about something but the printer is down". She was being very dismissive and condescending towards us but very friendly towards everyone else. I really feel conflicted about this because the food was great (except the short ribs were too salty) and our server seemed nice. But I felt rushed on my way out when we got our bill just after receiving our dessert and I had noticed that people kept getting little gifts from the server with their bill and that never came. We didn't even get a candle or anything on the dessert. What was supposed to be a special night, turned into a terrible experience I hope no one ever has to encounter.

Wonderful pancakes, egg sandwich, and avocado toast. My eggs were a little past over-easy but it was the only thing that wasn't perfect (and the host offered to have them redone but I said it was fine). We got a blueberry cream cookie and a lemon bar as an appetizer because sometimes we're a little extra and they were SO GOOD! I love a good pastry case and theirs was top notch. There were plentiful refills on the coffee (nice and hearty brew). Our server was so attentive and nice that we tipped extra. Just an all-around surprisingly excellent experience here.

I stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday and the place was busy! As fall foliage is over, I can…read moreonly assume these are locals. That tells me I've discovered something, since locals know the best places to go. I changed my plan from a soup and sandwich to a sandwich with a side based on my (outstanding) servers' recommendation. I selected the 'Monaco' but all the options looked good (and I love the names). Since it's a coffee shop I stayed for a cappuccino, which was served in an adorable tiny cup Great service. Not a fancy place but doesn't pretend or need to be.

I'm giving three generous stars. I wanted to love this place and I want them to succeed, but my…read moreexperience was average, at best. Firstly, the menu has nothing exciting to offer. A menu should make your mouth water. This menu made a couple leave after taking one look at it. My husband ordered a salad and it was the saddest, most basic thing I have ever seen. It was iceberg lettuce, a few other things, and a chicken tender cut up into the tiniest pieces. I had a burger w/ PB & J and I don't think they could have put less PB & J on it. The burger did not seem to be great quality and was grey in color. Onion rings were a star here! The sweet tea was also very good. Our server was overwhelmed and did the best she could. I think she was the only server working a handful of tables. She was friendly, but felt scattered. The restaurant had several dirty tables and tables that were dirty underneath. Likely the result of a young diner, but it gave an overall appearance of being unclean. Decor was stark. I hope our experience was just a bad night.

Must visit bakery when in Luray VA or checking out Shenandoah National Park (45ish mins away)…read more Located on main street, we were lucky enough to grab a parking spot right in front. Main Street both feels & looks like a home turned into a bakery, it also smelled delicious inside. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They greeted us within seconds and also gave lots of great recommendations for shops/restaurants around town. This was my first time having quiche and Chef Chuck did not disappoint. The bread pudding was also amazing! Not normally a fan of raisins in baked goods but was still tasty. We ended up coming back Saturday morning for the cinnamon rolls and really glad we did. They were fluffy and delicious but not too sweet. Highly recommend stopping by if you have a chance.

Stopped by Skyland Diner during a visit to Shenandoah National Park to grab lunch between hikes…read more The biggest highlight is definitely the views. It's hard to beat sitting down for a meal surrounded by such beautiful scenery, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. As a vegetarian, I found the lunch options a bit limited. I ordered the Brussels sprouts and the ALTO vegan sandwich. Both were perfectly fine, but neither really stood out. The food was average overall, though I was grateful to have vegetarian options available while spending the day in the park. I did notice their dinner menu includes a roasted vegetable stew, which sounded more up my alley, but unfortunately I was there during lunch hours. Overall, come for the incredible views and convenient location while exploring the park. The food didn't wow me, but it served its purpose and the staff made for a pleasant experience.

The rate is…read morefor the food or drinks, I hate those who rate on the service, a bad waiter or waitress, really doesn't tell me about the food. I only want to know about the food quality. So, this place had awesome service. The waitress was polite, attentive and yet her broken English worked perfectly for the position she was in. She knew the menu and came back to check on us more than a few times. 4/5 stars for the service. She was the best thing about the place. For the food, 1 star. The pictures on the yelp site showing the food explain it all. Notice some images show the food with excess liquid, I mean watery beans without any flavor? And then the rice was served without any seasoning. The guacamole came with huge chunks of tomatoes and it was hard to separate the avocado from the tomatoes. When we sat the waitress brought out chips and salsa. Half the chips were going stale. The salsa was good but more of a liquid consistency. We asked the chips be sent back and new ones brought out. The waitress did without a complaint. Then the things went downhill fast. My wife ordered the Chicken Fajitas for two, "Meh." I asked her about the beans and rice, "Meh." At least the margarita was good. It was sweet, but that is common and can depend on someone else's palate. She requested the corn tortillas because she forgot to order them at the beginning. The waitress brought them out without a problem. They tasted, "Meh." I ordered the Deluxe Burrito, it came out looking like a Picasso done by a three year old, filled with beef from a chef who used to work at the Bell. I tried to eat it but, "Meh." Long and short, nothing had seasoning unless it had the wrong seasoning and nothing was done right. This place deserves a 1 star.
