We arrived on a busy Sunday but were seated quickly. There is plenty of seating inside and out as well as a bar upstairs if you do not want to sit around families. The host and waitress were friendly, the waitress made multiple trips to our table to see if we were ready to order. It can get a little loud if it is packed. I ended up ordering Fish and chips with slaw and fries (Have not found a good fish and chips yet here in Front Royal) and she ordered the farm burger with no tomatoes and a side of mayo with spicy sauce for her fries. How was it...So far, the best Fish and chips I have had since moving here. Not greasy, good flavor light and flaky. Slaw was simple but good, the fries could have been warmer however overall I am happy with my meal and would order it again. Her burger came out with a tomato, seems it always does and people just don't listen and no mayo and spicy sauce. The burger was a little over cooked but the flavor was spot on, a good char, her fries were also only warm. Overall a positive experience. read more

Service was extremely slow. All of our food came out at room temperature and the French fries were so over fried it was like eating sticks. The brisket burger needed a gallon of water to wash it down but unfortunately the waitress never came by to check on us. Never going back. read more

Our family stopped here for a late lunch. We had our kids with us and all ate up in the tavern. We ordered two kids meals (grilled cheese and the soup of the day) a steak, and a Reuben. The Reuben was amazing, the steak was seasoned nicely too. A cute little restaurant in the middle of town! Definitely stop here if you're in the area! read more

It is a cute country themed restaurant. Stopped in for a quick breakfast. I was surprised when I ordered the Denver omelette. The ham was lunchmeat, diced up did not really care for that but the biscuits and gravy made up for it. The home fries are just plain potatoes cut up and put in the fryer didn't really have much taste. The toast doesn't come with butter on it the server is really friendly and fast and if you're downtown really hungry this is a quick place to get a bite I probably won't go back because there's other options in the area, but they are friendly cheap inconveniently located. read more

Main Street Mill Restaurant - The biscuits and gravy were so good. I forgot to take a picture before I started eating them. - Burgers Near Me - Front Royal, Virginia

Sat on the second floor in bar area. We were one of 4 tables and one person at the bar. The waiter/bartender was running around like he was so busy, but all he wanted to do was talk to his buddy at bar. Forgot my salad with my meal. My steak came out well done when I asked for medium-rare. My fiancés pasta had no Alfredo sauce on it at all, just some cheese sprinkled on veggies. This is his home town and hadn't been back in 25 years and was excited to bring me here....he ended up being disgusted by the service and food. Would not recommend. read more

The food was very mid , seemed like any old American restaurant. The service from our server abby was amazing, she was very attentive and kind. The ambiance was also quite cute nice panting on the walls and over seemed like a nice place. read more

Elizabeth was a sweet attentive waitress. The restaurant is so homey and welcoming. Very country feel. Food was good. Husbands sandwich he said was great and so was the salad. Soup had a ton of them and green onions. Sadly seemed like it was a gravy packet with good stuff put in it. Was luke warm but it okay. Full and most best of all for me was the coffee! Reminded us of Coffee Tree MJB from back in the day, excellent coffee and service read more

It used to be a great place to eat. Now it's not worth your time. Burnt spaghetti nasty chicken sandwich and flavorless cheese burger. Just sad read more

A lady in the local bookstore recommended this spot for lunch, it was good, but I wouldn't say it was a five star experience. Hamburger Reuben was tasty, salad was standard and good. Clean restaurant, great service though. Three stars does seem about right. A solid choice and a decent value, but not an amazing restaurant you absolutely have to put on your bucket list. read more

They need to be more open on pricing. The menu has milk for $2.50. I was charged $5 because she brought me a large milk. I didn't even know there was a large milk. Bad service by not informing me. read more

Service was great. Food not so much. Chicken tenders appeared to just the regular frozen kind that were just heated up. The breader was horrible. I also got a baked potato. The potato was barely warm. The best part of the meal was the salad. read more

We stopped in after not finding the restaurant we got off the highway for. Great find!!! We sat upstairs and the food and service was awesome!! Caroline was wonderful! We enjoyed chatting with her! All of her recommendations were delicious especially the crab artichoke dip! This Mill was a memorable stop!! read more

The menu said that the meatloaf sold fast and wasn't always available, so I had to try it. It was good, but nothing to write home about. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought the gravy did a great job of adding flavor, but it didn't impress me too much. Our wait staff was very friendly and helpful, though! read more

Very nice service but the food was terrible: cold fries, tasteless chicken and bland coleslaw slaw. We should have checked out the reviews first! read more

The food was awful. The service was okay at best. The establishment looked like it hadn't been updated since the 80's. One of the restrooms didn't lock nor have toilet paper. My husband got sick within 15 min of eating. AWFUL EXPERIENCE. We ordered cheese fries, the Reuben burger and broiled shrimp. The cheese fries were okay but it's hard to mess up melting cheese on pre frozen fries. The burger was under-seasoned. The worst was the broiled shrimp or should I say over cooked, rubbery, bland shrimp that was heavily sprinkled with Old Bay. Thankfully I ordered a baked potato because I ended up just putting the shrimp in the baked potato and that's the only thing that made it palatable. As we finished our meal, the server came over and cleared our plates and removed our drinks from the table never asking if we were finished with our drinks - which were the only mercy we had to wash down the foul tastes in our mouths. Bad all around. Do your tastebuds a favor and avoid this place. read more

My wife and I have eaten here several times and have also met out of towners here. The food and service are always great. Quaint atmosphere (especially upstairs). Sevice is always prompt and friendly. We always like walking down the quaint Main Street afterwards, checking out the cool little shops and getting ice cream at C&C. Highly recommended! read more

Nope nope Went there for British night. What a mess Waited 2 hours for our food,one person got his after we had all ate.,and we had to ask 3 times. Now I know why people said why. read more

Friendly service in a quaint town. Portions wete perfect and not super sized. Burgers were prepared well and fries were good. Special of crabcakes were more like pancakes but ALL crab no bread. Wonderful. Large and full of flavor...delicious. read more

I came in with the work crew. We were working out of town and looking for a new place to get dinner. We each ordered a different style burger. You could taste the char from the grill on my burger. The flat sliced fried potatoes were a nice change from the ordinary fry's The food was good. it's wasn't spectacular but it was good. It was a very long wait for three burgers. Sat upstairs in the tavern. It's an old building and the decor it dated. The service was amazing. I would eat here again if I was trying to kill some time. If you in a hurry this is not the place to go. read more

Service was okay. Food was good, but definitely nothing special. Ordered the chicken avocado sandwich and the sauce was great, but the chicken was pretty dry. My partner ordered the southwest burger and said it was good wasn't very spicy. The staff didn't ask how he wanted the burger cooked. read more

Liked this little place! Nustled right in downtown and easy to walk to from the Baymount across the street. Got the mozzarella sticks and tuna club. The mozzarella sticks were awesome! Came with both ranch and marinara sauce. They said they had cocktails so I asked the hostess what they had. She wasn't completely sure so I asked for a Malibu bay breeze.. let me tell you it was amazing! They should def add that to their menu bc they made it perfect. The tuna club was decent, came with a hard boiled egg which was yummy and different. Had to pick off the tomatoes bc they were green. Otherwise such a cute little place in a cute low key mountain town. Def recommend you stop here! read more

We went in prior to looking at the Yelp reviews and I'm glad I did. This place for some reasons scores low on Yelp, but I have to say that my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. It was a Sunday during the Redskins / Dallas game, so it was dead - and quiet which we both loved. The service was great. We ate upstairs in the tavern. I got the Southwest Burger. My wife got the Fish and Chips. She got a glass of house white and I got the Vienna Lager. I have to say that we thought it was good. The fish could have been a little crisper, but it was still good. My burger was excellent, and I would get it again. The bill out the door with tip was around 40. Give it a try. read more

Can't write a full review. When we arrived to celebrate a graduation, they claimed to have never received our call (talked on the phone ensuring a reservation was possible in great detail 2 weeks earlier) and told us we could sit if we could eat our meals in under an hour (had 5 children with us). Don't go, save your time. read more

Not the worst. Not the best. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The place was not very busy at all. We sat upstairs in the tavern. Atmosphere is drab and dated, but not in a quaint way. Food was ok. Fries were cold and not fresh. Our server was friendly and attentive. My kids enjoyed their food, even though the cheese was barely melted on the grilled cheese. My husband and I each had a beer, one from South St. and another form Goose Island. This place has potential, but it will be a long time before I give it another shot. read more

The chicken avocado sandwich was terrible. The chicken had no seasonings, bland, and the lettuce was brown. The fries also had no seasoning. A little salt would have helped. read more

I have lived in this town for most of my life, and I have been in this restaurant a few different times. If you want sub par food with a up scale price this is the place for you. I have tried things across the menu and nothing has been worth paying the amount that they ask for. If you want diner food go to moms kitchen at least you get what you pay for and aren't expecting better. read more

In the area to do Skyline Drive - in an old mill - rustic - food just ok but locally brewed adult beverages

The best thing I can say about this restaurant, is the waitress was very nice. The food was awful. The salad was brown and old. The Potato skins had "chili" on the top that made them soggy and there was very little cheese. The spicy chicken Alfredo had dry Cajun spicy sprinkled over reheated dried up chicken slices. I am normally not super picky about my meals but this is so bad, I had leave a review. Do Not go Here!! read more

The greeter at the front door wasn't very pleasant, but our waitress was great and the food (Reuben and hot chips) was fantastic. Fairly priced, hot, and fresh. Clam strip serving could have been bigger. read more

Pleasant sitting on the outdoor deck for lunch, but harried unwelcoming hostess and oh the food- not good. Sub par French fries with the mediocre fish. The taco bowl was bland, no olives, v little salsa, and maybe three or four taco chips in a taco bowl that was inedible. Should've checked the reviews first. read more

1st time here and we had a wonderful lunch! Service was prompt and friendly, our server was spot-on and the food was delish. We had Cheese Fries for the appetizer, they were as good or better than OB. I had the Cobb Salad, portion size was just right and all the ingredients were nice and fresh. Hubby had the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes & green beans, he was making yummy food noises the whole time while eating, so I'm thinking it was pretty good! Hint: save room for the Funnel Cake fries for dessert, you'll be glad you did! Overall, an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up! read more

WARNING: You may be shocked by the mean behavior I will be sharing of the Main Street Mill Restaurant staff. I have never left a bad review for a restaurant. But in all of my 50 years, I have never had as HORRIBLE an experience as this place. Neither have my kind aunt and uncle who will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary nor my cousin. My husband and I are local residents and ate here a few times and had decent experiences (when it wasn't busy). But the first night of Festival of the Leaves was packed. We are patient though. We were a table of 5 and there was only one table that could accommodate us but there were dirty plates on it since it hadn't been bussed. They offered us a table for four while we waited for the table and told us it would be a 10 minute wait. My husband and I shared one chair sitting back to back. We were never offered any water or menus during this time, we were ignored. After 15 minutes we asked them if we could move to the larger table. The waitress who just started bussing didn't seem to care. She took a few plates away and went on to do other things. After 10 more minutes, we asked another waitress if we could move and she explained in a harsh tone that they were busy (no kidding). It would have been nice if we could sit normally like the rest of the restaurant with one person to a chair though. We didn't care if the table was dirty. But maybe she thinks it's ok to be rude to an Asian? I noticed none of the other mostly white patrons were sitting two to a chair for almost half an hour. So then we were seated at the big table and she took our drink order. A few of us were ready to give our food orders too but she only took my aunt's order. She just walked off before anybody else could speak. A few of us got our drinks after several minutes. The other two waited several more minutes while she brought out an appetizer for my aunt, the mushy canned green beans. We waited a while before we got the crab dip, but we had no napkins for this dish with a messy sauce. We had no silverware either except for the spoon to scoop the dip onto the bread and slightly stale chips. Eventually they took our dinner order. We waited a long time, but we waited patiently. The only thing we asked for was silverware when we got the food and they said "they were working on it". The Cobb salad had no salad dressing. The fish and chips had no tartar sauce. My cousin wanted Thousand Island dressing for her reuben, but never got an opportunity to ask for any. And they forgot my aunt's chicken meal completely. She had to remind them 15 minutes after she finished her side salad and asked them to take the chicken off the order as we just wanted to leave after a 2+ hour ordeal. The angry waitress was purposely ignoring us most of the meal. We never got napkins unlike other guests.We noticed other patrons were served long before us and not given surly attitude/evil eye. The waitress was stomping up and down the stairs and in and out of the kitchen in a foul black mood. I've never seen anyone in such a rage at customers in all of my life - and 3 of the people seated at this table have worked in food service in our younger years. We finally asked for the bill. They brought it, but then they didn't come for the credit card and didn't ask if my cousin needed a box - she didn't eat much of her meal. My aunt finally ran out of patience and walked up with the plate to the host's station at the front to alert them that she wanted to leave and needed the box. She just stood there with the plate. They ignored her request and gave her attitude like she was going to steal the plate. Obnoxious. A few of us walked out of the restaurant after paying and she was still waiting for the to go box with my cousin. She told my cousin that she threw her food on top of the dishwasher bench. The food we paid for. My cousin finally completely exasperated at being treated so poorly all night said you don't have to be a bitch about it. And then the angry waitress went mental screaming at the top of her lungs to get the F*CK OUT OF MY RESTAURANT!!!! GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE!!!!! I"M GOING TO CALL THE COPS IF YOU DON"T GET OFF THE PROPERTY!!! Went on and on like a nut case. Just nasty. My uncle went back into the restaurant to calmly ask for them to remove the tip after what they did. The angry woman said "she would get around to it when she could" and ignored him while he waited there patiently with my husband. They just stood there. The other wait staff couldn't figure out how to issue a refund. My aunt, cousin and I waited in front of the restaurant while the angry one came out and served other people on the patio glaring at my cousin. She knocked over a drink, breaking the glass and she made angry remarks again at us. Really, she was unhinged and angry all night. We never got the refund. You may want to rethink coming to this piss poor establishment. read more

My first time here was great food was not dry, waitress was wonderful an middle age lady, who cooked our food herself it was perfect, then tried it for a second time, food was not as good but thought we'd give it one more try for an 3rd time extremely disappointed she messed up my order the chicken was super dry could barely eat it & she hardly gave me an appropriate discount, if she would have we would be coming back but not worth the money to waste to maybe get a good meal, & very dissatisfied read more

Had an awesome lunch and Micky took great care of us. Would gladly eat here again. Fajita salad was incredible!

First I must disclaim bias, the chef is a close friend ;-) But seriously, this place is consistent enough to be a staple for my family. We have our faves we recommend, the soft pretzel ham and cheese, the taco salad, the crab artichoke dip is well worth it, the chicken fajita salad. The close walk from home adds to the appeal, as well as the location, right on main street. One of the few beefs I have, is that the business does not order from one of my preferred distributors, but that has more to do with me than you ;-) If you are local, it is also a great 'third place' where you will most likely run into others you know. read more

Tonight may have just been an off night but I ordered a steak med rare, came out well done. They took it back and brought me out another steak that was RAW. I asked for a box and took it home to cook it to medium rare myself. Also, horrible service right from the start. I will never eat there again. If a restaurant has steak on the menu, they should be able to at least get it right the second time, when not cooked right to begin with. The only reason it got a 2 star instead of a 1 star, is that they took 50% off the steak. There are quite a few other places to eat here in Front Royal. read more

I won't lie... I wasn't expecting much. I mean... it's Front Royal. Wife had the Pasta Perfection and I had the Meatloaf. Both were really good with interesting flavors. I know that this will sound strange but, the meatloaf tasted like Christmas. Yes, that's right... it tasted like Christmas. Staff was very friendly and attentive. From our experience the place is much better than their rating. read more
