Six of us went to lunch on graduation day at James Madison University without a reservation. The…read moreday was cool, but we were really, really hungry so we agreed to eat outside. There was a heater, so we figured we could stand it. The hostess rearranged the tables to seat us close to the heater, and left menus. Soon a waitress came with water and took drink orders. Not long after she returned to take our food orders. While we were waiting for the food, someone brought us some warm blankets. All through our meal people kept checking to see whether we needed anything. It was the best service I have seen in a long time, and I arrange a bi-monthly lunch outing for a club I belong to. The food was delicious. The salmon sandwich was incredible, the burrata appetizer was to die for, and I wish everyone had such good French fries. Everyone enjoyed their food and the warm welcome from the staff on a not very warm day.

Rocktown Kitchen scored a hat trick today. We sat outside on the deck on a perfect March day…read more Sophia was excellent and provided fantastic service. We ordered one of the specials, which was a grilled chicken, Gyro sandwich and substituted the side with the arugula salad. The Gyro could have used a little bit more seasoning but was very tasty. The arugula salad was the best I've had and served with beets, feta, onions, pecans, and couscous. We actually ordered a second one. We also ordered the Reuben sandwich which was served with a hefty portion of corned beef and served on marble rye. We ordered it with a cup of the potato soup which was blended with leeks, carrots, celery--delicious. Great experience!

I got the hearty grain short stack and it just alright as far as pancakes go. The canjun-spiced potatoes my partner wanted must've been the tail end of the batch, with a lot of little burnt bits. My chai was delicious, however, probably the best I've had in a while. I'll give em a 3.6 for this visit, with the caveat that we'd definitely give them another try.

Absolutely 1 of 2 best breakfast spots in Harrisonburg. Our other favorite is Heritage bakery…read more.. the theme of bakery lets you know that both places make all their bread and baked goods fresh! They don't gave thousands of dishes but every dish is thoughtful and each ingredient necessary to pull off the perfect bite. I think the fig pig tartine might be one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The fig jam on freshly baked sourdough with fresh prosciutto and white cheddar, nutty arugula and the perfect sprinkle of lemon jest completes the dance in your palate. It's a must get. If you want something hearty... the sweet and hot breakfast biscuit will hit the spot. The jalapeño mixed with pear jam on a freshly baked biscuit... and the gooey white cheddar... so so good! Everything is fresh and delicious! A lot of breakfast places serve burnt industrial coffee... but they serve the coffee from Chestnut Ridge which is just across the street in the basement... but it's amazing! Fresh squeezed orange juice is pricey but delicious and the decor is beautiful! Get here before the doors open and wait in line or you'll have to wait a bit. But you can get on the waitlist and go to the stores across the street.

I appreciated that they were able to give me half/half on the greens and roasted potatoes as sides for the frittata. The Okay: service fell a bit short at times.

All in all, would definitely give them another try.

We came for dinner, and were served by Molly. We've been coming here few times a year for the past…read more12 years. 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!

Love a classic afternoon tea that won't break the bank? Heritage Cafe is the place. 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. A lovely way to spend a late morning or early afternoon in downtown Harrisonburg.

This coffee shop mad the list because of their name. Black Sheep Coffee sits on the corner of the historic town of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The coffee shop is bright and open. The baristas were friendly and engaging. The left side of the coffee shop is perfect for groups studying or just hanging out or if you prefer sipping your cortado solo than you can settle into one of the comfy leather wingback chairs.

I didn't like how the ice was a scooper and it's out for everyone to use, and we all know not everyone washes hands properly. Your food is brought to your table. We ordered the bao buns.

We also had the fried chicken, it's a cutlet that's cut up. Wish it was crispier. Last but not least, we had the corn cheese dip - I think that's what it was called. It was ok, nothing special to be honest. Tasted like creamed corn. Also got the ube cloud latte and that was amazing!
