I visited the place ten years ago in Front Loyal. It was very unique and food was great. When I found out the new location, I right away pay a visit. But...the service was disappointing the food was burnt and over seasoned. read more

A standout and truly unique place. It's more than a restaurant. You'll dine on perfectly cooked steak and God-approved chimichurri or other treats while taking in eclectic art, unexpected hospitality, and maybe even philosophical conversations with the owners. As someone who has traveled extensively in the US for decades this stands out in the best way. Can't wait to return! read more

Found this gem to meet some friends who were passing through on their way back to VT, and so glad we did! Their sauces, condiments, and breads are homemade, and you can taste the difference. We ordered the chicken sandwich and two black bean & sweet potato quesadillas, and added a quarter pound of skrimps (yes, their spelling). Wish I had ordered a larger amount because they were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We made sure we told Robert that! Fresh, intentional food made by people who clearly care about what they're serving. Thank you for all the fun stories, Robert; we'll be back next time we're in the area! read more

Fabulous food. Tried Blue Wing Frog based on others reviews they weren't wrong. Delightful grilled chicken on mixed greens salad with house made dill dressing. My partner said it was the best cooked spicy shrimp she'd ever had. read more

I had the "Philly" - absolutely amazing. Juicy, well seasoned. The home fries and the house made ketchup were super tasty. I cleaned my plate. Oh, and if you get Robert started on the jokes, they will keep coming. Definitely stop by if you're in town. read more

Stopped in for dinner and found a delicious meal and delightful service. The sauce for the burger was delicious and the potato fries were an excellent addition to my meal. Husband had the shrimp which he said was very good. read more

We had a great experience--everything was fresh and flavorful. The cod tacos were perfectly crispy with just the right balance of toppings, and the salmon Benedict was rich and cooked beautifully. The grilled shrimp salad was light, fresh, and full of flavor. Overall, a really solid meal--we'll definitely be back read more

We were fortunate enough to visit this place on n a Monday night when they were open but business was quiet. As a result we got treated like family! Robert and is wife is the owner and he actually sat down with us for the beginning and ending of our meal and answered our many questions about the place. It was a very down homey, historical setting and the chef creates meals from different countries, making everything from scratch. I had an African tomato based stew and hubby had catfish tacos. Both were excellent! I am gluten intolerant and will definitely call ahead when traveling through to try other GF options, especially the GF carrot cake they occasionally make! I'm noting this place and plan to return! read more

Nice people. Great food! Finally a restaurant that is sensitive to folks with gluten intolerance. Burger was great. Salads are super. The tacos are terrific! The blues winged frogs look fun. read more

Returned for a long overdue dining experience- absolutely wonderful shrimp + chorizo + rice gumbo. Portioned well - no boxes needed and spices just right. Kelly makes a perfect Bombay sapphire martini and the carrot cake is spot on- not too sweet and sticky. The Frog continues to live up to my last review, would give 6 stars if possible. The location is a lot cozier than the Front Royal one - and the little heater in the dining room adds a lot of character. Rock on you guys! read more

Wonderful spot with amazing service and food. Unexpected treat on a long road trip! Highly recommend!!!

Staying the night in town-picked this restaurant using Yelp. This place is a gem. We had the Argentinian flank steak & Lamb kabob. Both were excellent -ate it all & was tempted to lick the plate. This will be on our must visit anytime we are close by. read more

Delicious food and friendly service! I love the location, as well. We sat in the nook at the front and had a great view of the sidewalk and all the people in downtown Strasburg. read more

The food blew us away when we were looking for a hearty, heathy meal on a Monday evening. The owner was beyond patient and kind when we showed up 15 minutes before closing. Just look at this amazing food! read more

Found this little place by searching here on Yelp as we were approaching Front Royal on our way back home from DC. We are glad we stopped. It's a small place with seating spread out nicely so as not to feel like you are right on top of other diners. Local photographers have art displayed on the walls for sale. There's a small stage for live music. When we enter we were greeted, handed menus, and invited to sit wherever we wished. It's very casual and the serving staff (just 2 on a Sunday night) worked in tandem to ensure everyone was well taken care of. All the staff was pleasant and friendly. The menu is varied and we were tempted by many selections. We saw the salmon come out to the table next to us and it looked delicious. However, we opted for the Blue Wing Burger and the Shrimp Tacos. The flavor of the burger was fantastic. You can tell this is fresh burger and as a bonus, it's locally sourced. They make their sauces in house. The ketchup had more of a marinara texture and flavor. The mayo had herbs in it and was lovely. The brioche bun is also made in house. We added an egg for $2 and it was cooked perfectly for that ooze. The burger came with with "homemade garlic tots" which were like home fries at other places. The flavor was good. The shrimp for the tacos were perfectly seasoned and grilled. They are complimented again by the sauces and sides. The cilantro cream was delicious and there was also a spicy pineapple sauce for drizzling, or dunking if you please. The cabbage slaw enhanced the tacos but could easily be eaten as a side. Our only complaint was that the portion sizes were appropriate. LOL We would have loved the oversized American portions! We could have eaten much more. Oh, and I had to Math! 10 shrimp divided into four tortillas?? Why???? read more

We were greeted by the owner with a big "Welcome to my home!" You could immediately sense that it would be a special place. The steak dinner, chicken dinner, and burger were all delicious. Clearly fresh and homemade. The burger was so fat, and my son inhaled it. We had fun conversation with the owner throughout our visit. Everything was clearly made with a little bit of love stirred into each meal. Dessert was the banana cake with espresso icing. Absolutely delicious. Ambiance was very cool and a bit eclectic, yet Casual. Artwork was all made by a talented local artist. Also tried a glass of mead for the first time - very tasty! They've been open 1 1/2 years, and I truly hope word gets out and business grows! read more

Food was incredible and we were extremely satisfied. Stopped by after a day of hiking and rock climbing, tired and hungry. The lady inside greeted us and offered to whip us up a quick appetizer while we waited for our food to be prepared. We got our main food to go to be able to eat outside in the courtyard next to the restaurant since we were traveling with our dog. Everything about this place felt like home. read more

I almost never write 1-star reviews, but my experience here (food + service) was so incredibly terrible all around, especially given the good reviews on Yelp. The staff initially seemed nice, but by the end they just said sorry once and didn't seem genuinely apologetic at all. We arrived around 2:15pm, well past peak lunch hour. Most of the tables were empty. We ordered a burger (medium) and shrimp poboy, as well as 2 cups of ice water and a cup of coffee. It took about 10 minutes for the water to arrive, and another 10 minutes for the coffee (it was fine, nothing special). I finished my water within the first couple minutes, but the server did not offer to refill our empty cups for the remainder of the service. We waited an additional 30 minutes for our food. No one came to check in on us the entire time. We got up ourselves to check in with the server and he said we were next. Waited 10 more minutes... finally, we got up to leave. We went inside to pay for the coffee and they told us our food was ready. In a valiant effort to support small businesses and not waste food, we paid for the food (with tip!) and took it to-go. When we arrived at our hotel 10 minutes later, we were utterly disappointed. The burger: we ordered it medium but it came out well done and completely dry/crumbly. We ordered the burger with cheese ($1 extra) and bacon ($2 extra) but they didn't add either. The potatoes were cold and hard (but in all honesty, much better than the burger). The poboy: the sandwich had completely fallen apart and we had to eat it with a fork and knife. The shrimp was COLD. The lettuce was soggy (after just a 10 minute drive home). The sandwich tasted like a cheap salad that had been doused in thousand island sauce with some cold shrimp tossed in. The best part of the meal was the side of mac & cheese. And the sauces that came with the burger. So completely frustrated with our entire experience here. I know it's tough in these pandemic times, but this restaurant truly needs to step up and improve their food and service. read more

Worth the wait! I like that they lay out the expectation in advance- good food takes time!! So true. Don't go if you're in a hurry but rather save this yummy experience for a day when you can chill and converse, sip a cold VA beer, and enjoy the sunshine outside or their welcoming inside area. They are honest in that you won't get KFC drive through service so kindly don't jump on the review wagon of " it took a while to get our food". Now for the good stuff! I love the vibe. It's local, it's chill, it welcomes trail goers, locos, and weekend warriors. What a great place to grab lunch when headed to the Loudoun wineries or from Loudoun to Charlottesville. They support local breweries and farmers - love this! If you don't support local as a food and beverage establishment you should! Grab a VA beer. I had an Octoberfest from Blue Mountain and Devils Pony from South Street. Food was so good. The chicken lettuce wraps were not only tasty and a HUGE portion but so beautiful. My boyfriend had the bacon, lettuce, avocado sandwich. The bread was homemade and quite dense - almost had a faint sweet potato or pumpkin flavor. I enjoyed sitting in the sun and having a laid back lunch. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely delicious. The chefs and owners really know what they are doing! Friendly and in the old downtown area.

They do have delicious shrimp. We had the Shrimp Po'Boy and Grilled Shrimp Salad. Highly recommend both. Service was excellent. The owner is very friendly and full good stories! read more

Delicious food and friendly service, in an historic building. A true five star experience. Highly recommended.

OMG!!! We did a long road trip but don't like eating in chain restaurants. Found this restaurant on Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend had a shrimp po boy and I had grilled vegetables on homemade focaccia bread with homemade hummus. Everything was absolutely delicious! The owner and the staff were friendly and informative as well as very attentive. Cloth napkins and lovely eclectic surroundings... a definite must if you are anywhere near Strasberg VA! read more

Stopped in today for dinner while visiting the Front Royal area. Absolutely everything was 5-stars from the atmosphere/decor, to our waiter who was also the owner, to the apps/entrees. Potato pancakes as a starter was killer. I had a 16 ounce ribeye cooked to perfection (medium rare) with a grilled shrimp add on. Shrimp were amazing and could have easily stood on their own as a separate entree. Our other entrees were also right in the money from the perfectly prepared tofu to the house made dressings and sauces. Highly recommend this cool joint with great eats and friendly staff. Looking forward to my next trip down in Virginia! read more

Delicious food, comfortable atmosphere, and kind people working here. Little gem that we always try to hit when we're in the area.

Friendly service, fresh food and great coffee! Just what we wanted after a long day hiking Old Rag. You can find some hearty burgers and tacos on the menu, but also some great salads. I rarely have a shrimp salad where the meat on the salad lives up to the hype on the menu, but they did not disappoint at BWF. A fair portion of large shrimp cooked and seasoned perfectly. The coffee is fresh ground to order and prepared pour-over, and was excellent. I will definitely stop back the next time we're in Front Royal to try some other things on the menu. It's a great find in an area otherwise surrounded by greasy spoons and fast food. Great stuff (and local beer and wine as well). read more

The sign on the wall says a lot about what this place embodies. A little bit pricey for the area, but you're getting value for money in terms of a clean meal with local ingredients that will leave you satisfied with large portions! The host was extremely friendly and you can had a passion for fresh homemade food. read more

A relaxing rustic spot to grab some amazing food. The meals never disappoint and are very flavorful. The food is made to order with fresh local ingredients. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I have a lot of food allergies/sensitivities and they are very good about recommending a safe options or making a few modifications to make a dish safe for me. My favorite lunch dish is the bacon avocado salad with grilled chicken and my favorite dinner dishes include the shrimp tacos or the shrimp dinner. The shrimps are always cooked to perfection. My husband's favorites include the Cubano sandwich, the Shrimp Po' Boy or the Blue Wing Burger topped with bacon, egg, cheese, fried egg and chimchurri sauce. If your enjoying an adult beverage the cobbler mountain ciders are fantastic and we really enjoy the Terra Barrosa wine. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I LOVE the Blue Wing Frog! This charming cute local restaurant offers fresh, wholesome, housemade items and a nice selection of local craft beer. We ordered: Falafel Bites (super crispy bites that had a lovely vegan tzatziki sauce - yum! Definitely not your typical balls of falafel, but shaped like mini pucks and just so tasty!); two bowls of their Creole Chicken soup (filled generous with hand-pulled chicken and veggies, this soup just hit the spot and was so perfect for a cold day!); The Cubano (grilled sandwich, jam-packed with Swiss, housemade mustard, house-pickled pickles and tons of slices of sweet ham and Cuban roast pork; this came with a side of 'garlic' taters, which were roasted potatoes with herbs, and served with a side of housemade ketchup); and, RK's Famous Skrimp Po'Boy (grilled shrimp on a toasted housemade brioche roll, filled with tons of lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and dressed with chipotle remoulade; the brioche was toasted perfectly, making it nice and crispy, and that sauce was just MONEY!). We also couldn't leave without grabbing some of their housemade cookies (such as oatmeal raisin, rosemary shortbread, ginger molasses, etc.). One of the owners, Mr. Hall, was so welcoming and so sweet! He had a great sense of humor, and he shared with us about the restaurant beginnings and some of the stories behind the menu items. You can tell that he has a lot of heart, and that a lot of that love goes into all of the items that he offers to his customers. The restaurant itself is spacious, has plenty of seating; don't forget to check out the 'giant picnic table' in the other room! There's an ice box and a water and an unsweetened tea dispenser, both self-serve. You check out the menu and order up at the counter once you're ready, but you grab a table of your choosing, and the food will be delivered to you. The staff here are so friendly, and all of the food items are of generous size and have a clean, fresh taste to them, but still being super flavorful and delicious! Definitely check this local gem out - you won't be disappointed! +Chicken Creole soup! +Falafel Bites +RK's Famous Skrimp Po'Boy +ask for Mr. Hall! :D +friendly staff! +plenty of parking next to the building read more

We stopped here while passing through Front Royal. We always love visiting local spots, and this definitely seemed a big draw for the community. Friendly staff, live music, and a great steak. Service was a little slow and the chicken dinner wasn't a huge hit for my husband. But we appreciated the experience! read more

Great food. Casual atmosphere. Very nice local venue. Very friendly .I would absolutely come back.

My husband, daughter, and l thought we would try the one in Strasburg on Saturday after hearing good things about it. There was a couple at a table in the empty dining area. We sat there without having our drink or food orders taken, as a gentleman and another couple, and a table of 12 came in and was seated. The gentleman and second couple were waited on. At that point, we got up and left after waiting almost 20 minutes. We will not be going back, and l will not recommend it to anyone. read more

This place is a gem! We were traveling and could not take any more fast food, decided to give this place a try. We were not disappointed! We were greeted by super friendly owner and staff.

I can't wait to go back! I almost asked if I could buy this salad dressing to take home! It's a must try place!! read more

Great local cafe in Front Royal. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon on our way back from Luray. Seating was prompt and friendly. I ordered a Bloody Mary and the fully-homemade Reuben and my wife ordered the sangria and shrimp salad. All the food was delicious! The Reuben was fully homemade from the bread to the Corned Beef to the Sauerkraut. The shrimp in the shrimp salad were awesome to.

Outstanding quality made-from-scratch food that is, in a word, delicious. The service was great and the owner, Robert, is delightful. It seemed to take a while for the food to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. The fish tacos (made with catfish) are the best I've ever had, and the ginger carrot soup was outstanding. The ambience is a bonus. Love the handmade wood furnishings (made by the owner) and casual decor. read more

I was a patron of the business before they moved. Very allergen friendly, all the chefs enjoyed experimenting with food and learning. While for some it mat be pricey, if you enjoy personal connection with curious chefs and asking about the ideas behind the food, as well as anything that may be being experimented on currently, then you will enjoy this cuisine. I went on a slow afternoon, and found the pace of the chefs even more enjoyable than the food read more

After a very exhausting hike nearby, the boyfriend and I decided to stop in for some hearty sandwiches. I saw the great reviews and was excited to give this place a try. But then walked I waslked into one of the slowest/strangest services I've had in a long time. I immediately ordered an ice tea because I wanted something refreshing after being in the sun all morning. Then somehow the server just completely forgot about us, even though we were the only customers actually eating inside. I stared as my ice tea in a to go cup continued to sit on the counter, glistening with condensation, beckoning me to reach out and parch my thirst. Perhaps the server didn't want to rush us? Maybe he just forgot he made my iced tea and went to go do something else. I'll just wave him over. Oops, he went outside and started chatting up some other customers. Like 15 minutes later he comes in and does a double take on us. He totally forgot about us! It was more funny than anything. He apologized, handed me my tea and took our orders. Food: Yeah, I know that was a long intro. I said all of that to say it was already 2 in the afternoon, we were starving and I wasn't super please with service thus far. That is until the server apologized and spoke to us a bit and we found out he is just an ultra chill guy and wasn't done purposely. Also, the food was outstanding! I ordered the Po Boy and the boyfriend ordered the Cubano. Both sandwiches were a tad nontraditional but incredibly delicious. Rather than having a heavy fried shrimp with sauce and lettuce, this one came with huge, plump grilled shrimp tossed with the remoulade sauce and cabbage. The Cubano, just as huge as the Po Boy tasted meatier than most Cubanos, not as cheesy and was topped with some hefty pickles in the middle. Overall, the food far outweighed the few extra minutes we had to wait for our drinks and convinced us to return next time we're in the area. read more
