    Take home goodies.

    Yummmmmmm. Klines is an institution to those who went to JMU. They have several locations around Virginia and the ice cream is sooo good. Flavors change every so often and are posted on their website. The best vanilla soft serve fresh ice cream around and the hot fudge sundaes are sooooo good. They have some fast-food BBQ, fries and burgers fare as well but I've always stuck to the ice cream. Bathrooms are large and clean and I like the old vintage concept with the open-air seating and garage doors with the old neon sign.

    ROACH in the hot fudge.

    We will NEVER eat here again. We visit the area several times a year and went for ice cream tonight at Klines. Our 10 year old daughter was eating vanilla custard with hot fudge when she dropped her spoon and started screaming. Upon inspection of her spoon, we saw a ROACH!! A ROACH WAS IN HER HOT FUDGE. As you'd expect, we're all grossed out and our daughter is traumatized. My husband plans to go back tomorrow to tell them how disgusted we are. Words just can't express how nasty it was...that's why I attached pictures

    Klines Diary Bat is amazing, I love the decor it's happy and colorful. My favorite go to's are the Raspberry and Coconut shakes. The staff here is beyond friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of their product. I great added bonus is the pup cup treats for our furry babies!! I highly recommend this place for your latest sweet tooth or quick lunch fix!! The Staunton location also offers a party room for your loved ones special bday!!

    Oh my god this place is cool and the ice cream well let me just say wow. This is actually the second time I was here. The first time was two years ago we happen to be going to the fast food place next-door and I saw this place and said I want to check it out. This time driving back from North Carolina we just decided to get off and get some gas and to stop get something to eat and it happened to be the same exit as two years ago. what's the odds of that. So I ended up having a hamburger and french fries with a soda. The hamburger was big and fresh she asked me how do I want it made and what do I want on. And of course just about as much as a fast food joint but better food.

    Perfect place if you are looking for ice cream! Delicious soft serve and plenty of options for everyone. Great vibe with plenty of seating. Staff were quick and friendly. Great way to end a hot summer day!

    Very pricey for what you get food wise, and very limited choices and flavors, definitely wish there were more to choose from.

This place started around 1952. The order was given from a touch tone phone at the table to the front counter. We thought tnat some of the younger customers would not know how to use a dial telephone. Drive through service is also available, as it has been since the 1950's. Ordered a burger basket (burger and fries) $8., a chicken tender basket (five chicken tenders with fries) $11.50, onion rings, chocolate malted milkshake, chocolate ice cream dish, We got the food in about fifteen minutes brought to our table. Very reasonable. The 2 oz burger that I received was worst of all the items that I had. It was tasteless and reminded me of a smalll burger at Burger King. 1.5 stars. do not recommend it. We hope that the recipe for the burger would be improved. The crinkle cut French fries were average 3 to 3.5 stars and not plentiful. Could have used more. The onion rings were one of the two great items that we had. They were very good in every way. 4 plus stars. My mallted milk shake was good and the price was reasonable. It was appropriate for a 1950's restaurant. 4 stars. The chicken tenders were large had good taste. 4 stars. Rolls came with the chicken tenders. They were soft and had good taste. 4 stars. The chocolate ice cream, along with the onion rings was the standout best item that we had. 5 stars for the chocolate ice cream. It was creamy with a deep chocolate flavor and the ingredients in it were quality ingredients. Loved it. We enjoyed the good music with the meal. Everyone who worked there was very nice to us, including the manager. We will love to dine there again and hope that it can be soon. Thank you for the nice 1950's style food.

We stopped in Thursday February 5, 2026. The cozy space, complete with a locally painted on the wall, gives it a warm, welcoming feel. In speaking with the matrade we learned the name of the restaurant comes from the Native American word that has become Shenandoah. After 20 years in business it's clear this place has deep local roots. The staff was friendly and attentive. Kyle, our waiter, did a great job and worked seamlessly with his teammates to make the experience memorable. We started with cocktails -- my wife had the Sage Advice and I had a classic Manhattan. Proper cocktails for sure! The crème brûléed cornbread and sweet potato bisque were standout starters. Probably could have stopped eating after those starters...For mains, my wife loved the pork loin and I enjoyed the pan-seared trout. We finished with the banana mousse, which was absolutely amazing! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're passing through Staunton. definitely worth the stop.

We did the crème brûlée cornbread for starters and then I got the ribs which were amazing. They came with fried rice which was good too. My friend got the beet salad, scallops, brussel sprouts, and spaghetti dish. All was delicious as well.

They have two vegetarian tacos, and I rather liked the more "real food" sweet potato and black bean than their tofu taco, but both were delicious. Upon seeing they had a seasonal special salsa; I was glad I took the option to order it as it was delectable and I liked it enough to haul what I didn't use back with me to save for another day. Their rice and beans have a vegetarian option, and given the option for various indulgences, I went for a semisweet chocolate cake, the sprinkles on which were unnecessary but fun. The salt level in something (or everything) was excessive, which had me gulping water. And it's a shame, because they could dial it back and this would still be some quality food.
