But it's real and it was really good. Husband thought the burger and hot dog were top notch. Both came with chips and a pickle. And the price was excellent - less than Subway or McDonald's or the like. My only complaint is that I will probably never be in the area again.

Poppy's Place in Front Royal is a TOTAL return to another time. Poppy, after whom the restaurant is…read morenamed, is the grandfather of the people who work (and I suspect at least partially own) the place. You walk in and order at the counter. This is a down home breakfast place where clearly everything is made to order from scratch. When we arrived, there was a woman waiting on a large takeout order. The order was for the wedding party for her daughter who was getting married that day. The bride so loves this place that she wanted her wedding party to share breakfast from her favo spot. So you get the picture. Very simple, very local. We ordered an array of breakfast items that included omelettes, grilled cheese, egg and cheese and pancakes, toast, along with coffee. The service was wonderful, the people who work here are wonderful. The food is good, certainly not great. I am from a bigger city and perhaps my expectations are skewed from that. This is a great place to visit for breakfast just outside of the National Park and it feels nice to support the local business. Just know what to expect.

And fast, food was here in less than 30 minutes at lunch-hour...no one can beat that in the area. The delivery person was so polite and had the best smile, not sure if he was an employee or from a delivery service, he made my day. Highly recommend Poppy's Place.

Stopped in to visit Ben's Diner for breakfast. Ben's Diner is located in a retail shopping complex…read more It's rather big on the inside. I ordered Sausage gravy over 2 biscuits, plus 2 eggs over easy and an order of hash browns, plus coffee and water. Food came up quickly. The sausage gravy tasted "sausagey," but it was a tad too salty. The eggs were cooked properly, The hash browns were of the type where they are premade and then either deep fried or cooked on a flat top. They were hot, crispy and cooked properly (you get 2 of them). Coffee was good. Service was good, paid with Apple Pay. If you add the tip as part of your digital transaction - they give you the tip back in cash to place on the table for their server. Was surprised by that - never encountered that before. #BensDiner

Service was fairly quick, and my salisbury steak was the best I've ever had. The sides of coleslaw and (super buttery) mashed potatoes were also flavorful and filling and balanced the meal out perfectly. We found the peach cobbler to be a tad sweet for our taste, but it was such a hearty meal overall.

The Emporium was fun to visit before and after we ate, and the food was fabulous! As one of my friends said, you can't go wrong with a grilled cheese with tomato. I want to go on record as saying that the tomato soup was the.best.ever in the history of the world. Most people in our group could only eat half of the large and delicious sandwiches. I can't even remember what everyone had, but everyone was very happy with their meal and vowed to return. Service was good, but a little dippy, as though the counter staff was new. Definitely friendly, though! Best parking is behind the restaurant at the entrance to the Emporium.
