    This is a hidden gem. Right new downtown front royal. It is a blast from the past. Opened in 1964 and still retain that same charm from yesterday. The foods was very good and the prices were very good. It is a local hangout everyone that came they called by name. JUST REMEMBER CASH ONLY.

    I came here to eat around 730am on a Wednesday morning. There were about 3 other tables eating here so it wasn't very busy. I came here with my oldest son. I had the hefty pine breakfast and a glass of water and he has a meat omelet and a cup of coffee. I had a sip of his coffee and it was phenomenal. You would think a simple cup of hot coffee would be just that simple but this one wasn't it was delicious very hot and fresh. All in all a great meal and the waitress was nice and came by and checked on us a few times!! One of the best parts of this review compared to my review 4 years ago is that the restaurant area was not smoky!!

    Came in around 8pm (an hour before close) and was promptly greeted and served. Some of the other reviews mentioned slow service, but im pretty sure it just took 5 minutes for the appetizer and 10 minutes for our main meal. I was super impressed with the fast and friendly service. The mozzarella sticks were definitely just the frozen stuff delivered from Aramark, but it's not like I expected a hand made gourmet appetizer at $4. Now the country fried steak was just ...yummm. I've been going on this kick of southern food, so in the past two weeks, I ordered country fried steak from Cracker Barrel, Pink Cadillac diner in Lexington, and now at Knotty Pines. The country fried steak here was by far the best. I don't know if it was frozen from Aramark too, but if it was, I don't even care. The gravy was thick and oh so good. The fried steak was crisp and yummy. Hands down, best country fried steak. The ambiance was pretty cool. It's just a tiny little dining room with a bunch of booths and a milk bar. The biker bar is attached to the same building but it is separated by the kitchen so you have to go outside and go in through the separate door to enter the bar area. It's kind of cool though bc on one side of the kitchen you have a well lit itty bitty diner with people eating pie and biscuits. Peak through the kitchen door to the other side, and the dimly lit bar area is filled with country music, bikers and whisky. Knotty pines is one of my favorite hole-in-the-walls for sure.

    Oh my.. where do I start.... the service was great. However it took them over 45 min to get our food out. Reading some of the previous reviews this seems like an on-going issue. Ordered grits and they were out. However, in the hour we were waiting for our food she gave me grits on the house. Food was decent, nothing to write home about. The dining area had tiles falling from the ceiling, and had a generally dirty appearance. Probably will not be back unfortunately.

    Too many fights and other badness in the bar section, and kinda generic food in the front. Only takes cash, so be prepared.

    Cheap, average diner fare. But a bit slow since the kitchen also services a bar on the other side.

The drinks were affordable and strong, which was a definite plus. However, my main issue with The Lodge is the seating situation near the stage. If you're sitting in front, be prepared for people to stand directly in front of you during the drag show. I would've preferred if the drag queens, owner, or even security had stepped in to ask them to move. It was frustrating to have 6-foot-tall, 300-pound women completely block our view--especially after paying $18 per ticket. Also, watch out for this one wild white lady in a black shirt and floral shorts who acts invisible and blocks multiple people. If you ask her politely to move, she'll argue with you and even try to escalate things by telling you to "step outside" like she's about that life. Overall, for our first drag show, we had fun--but if you're going to enjoy the performance, be ready to be annoyed because no one there is enforcing basic courtesy or crowd control. Yes this is coming from the gorgeous black queen with the pink/purple hair

Looking for great house music, cheap drinks, and a small town vibe that still has a piece of metropolitan life? Go to the Lodge. The drag queens are fab and super sweet and all about the jello shots lol. My wife and I went and had a great time though it was sleepier than we remembered it. Fair warning it is located in an area that's very dark at night so be on high alert. If coming from Hagerstown it will be on your left, if Frederick your right.

Everyone was so personable from the minute we walked into this elegant manor house. Cocktails and conversation were on point. The dinner service just flowed effortlessly like a well thought out symphony -- each dish took us to a higher level of culinary bliss as we were lulled by the expertly paired wines. Owner/Chef Dane stopped by our table at the end of meal and was so delightful to talk with. We had a terrible storm during the dinner service, apparently a tree went across the road nearby and knocked out their internet service preventing them from being able to check us out at the end of the evening. Their response -- don't worry about it all -- we will just give you a ring sometime tomorrow and take care of it; what more could you ask for -- just classy in every way!!!
