I had a classic burger, and husband had something with Jalapeños. Daughter had a kids meal with sweet potato fries. I was mad I was too full to finish! To top that off the atmosphere was fun and very laid back, and everything was clean (added bonus)! Wait staff was very personable as well. I hope I was able to cover all the good things, but definitely a place I would recommend and come back to if I lived here.

The servers sold us on the mac and cheese when she said the sauce is homemade. For us, the burger and the onion rings were the stars!!! The batter for the onion ring is well seasoned yet fluffy and crispy. The first bite of that burger, reminded me of in and out! We also learned that the ingredients here are locally sourced which is why they are so good. The place is cute, homey, and spacious. They have a few different rooms. They also have a jukebox and I played some Dolly Patron and Miley Cyrus. It was a hit! If you're passing the town of Strasburg heading back to DC, this place is worth a stop!

Surprisingly, their habanero hot sauce was fantastic! I didn't see if they sell that stuff by the bottle but I'm sure they would hook you up with some. I got the impression that not many people show interest in it sooo, get on it! Their Cookies & Cream pie is meh but their blueberry pie, warmed up with a little whip cream hits the spot.

We had such a special stay at The Wayside Inn. From the moment you arrive, you can truly feel the…read morehistory! It's charming, cozy, and full of character in a way that's hard to find anymore. We stayed in Room 15, the Bernstein Suite, and it was incredibly spacious. The bed was so comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful details -- especially the cute vanity room with amazing natural light and the cozy seating area. The decor throughout the inn and in the room really stood out to me and was easily my favorite part of the stay. It felt like such a unique blend of historic charm and comfort. This stay was extra special for us as it was part of our 10-year anniversary trip while driving to New York City, and it ended up being the perfect halfway stop to break up the drive. It made the whole trip feel even more memorable. We also dined at Clem's Kitchen during our stay, and the food was great. (I'm gluten free and there were plenty of options!) I really appreciated that it's part of the inn, which made the overall experience feel seamless and convenient. Overall, it's the kind of place where you can slow down, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy something truly special. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you're in the Shenandoah Valley area.

Charming Place, Comfortable Stay…read more We enjoy stays at both chains and independent hotels/motels, just do a lot of research to ensure a solid, restful stay at either. This piqued our interest as the longest continuously run motel and it lived up to expectations of being charmingly quirky while also very comfortable -- plus, proving to be easy to access as a quick pit stop. Spouse & I agreed when checking out that we wished we were staying longer, to get to enjoy the surprisingly spacious sitting room and glassed-in porch -- we stayed in room #15 / Bernstein and recommend it to both couples and small families. The bed was cushy and my husband slept later than his norm, always a good sign for bed comfort. It is higher than average, so I took advantage of the provided step to hop in/out. Because the tavern is onsite, there were additional bathrooms handy downstairs when ours was occupied. As noted in our welcome sheet, water took a few minutes to warm up. So if showering and in a rush, run it first for 3-5 minutes while doing other prep. But hot water arrives and pressure was excellent. The rooms were spotless, though of course tiles and other fixtures are vintage and show age -- it's a historic landmark. We also wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the porch rockers and both the tavern or (intriguingly combined) Irish-Mexican restaurant on premises. There appears to be patio seating in back, so ask if it's associated with hotel or dining, if looking for other outdoor space. Indoors, there are public spaces (two parlors plus other spots -- it's a rambling building!) with books and a checkerboard handy. Maybe more amenities but we ran out of time to explore. It's not a B&B -- there's just a stocked Keurig in the lobby and some packaged snacks and bottled water (free but donations welcomed). But if the Tavern is closed, as it was on our Memorial Dat visit, there's a small coffee shop just a half-block away, serving breakfast late as well as some sandwiches and bowls, plus good teas & coffees. Incredibly friendly staff. Looked like a few other dining options nearby plus historic sites and walking trails. We arrived very late, and management is not onsite at that hour, but instructions for arrival were provided, comprehensive and very easy to follow. Staff on site in am were very pleasant and helpful. Tip: If arriving late & lugging a ton of luggage, ask which rooms are closest to the late-night entrance. Number 15 is on the far side and up a flight of stairs -- fine for us with just overnight totes & computer bags but just something to keep in mind if you have a lot to unload. Overall, an enthusiastic thumbs-up. It looks like it would be a fun, relaxing hub for a weekend escape. But also great as a highway stop, as it is just a few minutes' drive from the exit.

Very strong bourbon selection and a bar that knows how to make modern mixed drinks. The menu is focused on game meats including duck, rabbit and venison. We started with the pork belly bites: they are confit and then fried and come with this amazing salsa verde with peanuts and pickled red onions. Just an amazing mix of flavors that go together. For mains we went with duck and the venison. The duck was cooked perfectly and came with a very flavorful smashed potato and confit fennel. The venison was a disappointment. It was both overcooked and under seasoned. Service was good even though they were very busy. Reservations via their website at https://www.thevaultandcellar.com/reservations

The patties are pre-formed and you can choose from a variety of cheese to have on your burger. The toppings on the burger were very fresh. The burgers were topped with nice leaf lettuce and a red tomato. I was very pleased with the tomato! It comes with a pickle on the side too! They make homemade potato chips to go along with your burger. There are several items you can choose from to go with your burger in lieu of the homemade chips such as fries, tots, onion rings, etc. Since the fries are not hand cut, I prefer the tater tots. They were very good. Wishing the river would consider hand-patted burgers and hand-cut fries with options to have on the side such as a special signature sauce, aioli, parmesan topping, truffle topping, etc. This would knock it out of the park!
