Mineral Restaurant

Dec, 2024. Another good quick lunch at Subway in Mineral, VA before doing our grocery shopping…read more We ordered the footlong #21 fresh value meal to share, which consisted of the Honey Mustard BBQ Chicken sub on a toasted Italian Herbs & Cheese roll ($10.99/1010 calories), a bag of chips, and a small (20 oz) fountain drink (+$2.99). The sub was described as combining rotisserie-style chicken, 2x melted Monterey cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, honey mustard, and BBQ on a roll. We loaded the sub with fresh spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, and pickles, and the honey mustard sauce. The sub tasted great -- but we were surprised that it seemed to include bacon, which wasn't part of the description, and didn't have a taste of BBQ (my bad, it seems that I needed to request both the honey mustard and BBQ sauces). Later at home, when we reviewed the receipt, we realized that we had been served value meal #20, which consisted of the Elite Chicken & Bacon Ranch sub on a toasted Italian Herbs & Cheese roll ($11.49/1160 calories). The description of the sub was very similar to that of what we originally ordered, except that it included bacon and different sauces (if ordered). Unfortunately, it was also a bit more expensive and had higher calories than what we ordered. Of note, the preparation area where the meats and cheeses are added to the subs is now blocked from customer view, so we would not have been able to see the mistake when the bacon was added to the sub. Also of note, the chips display has also been moved to a less congested side.

That's not realistic when I'm already 30 minutes away and home. Honestly, with how often they mess up orders, I'd be worried for anyone with a food allergy -- a wrong order isn't just annoying, it could actually hurt someone. Save yourself the hassle and order in person instead. These aren't complicated sandwiches to get right.

On October 20, 2025, I visited Subway Store #16846-0 and placed an order for two 12-inch subs and…read moretwo 6-inch subs. I have been a loyal Subway customer for many years, but this visit was by far the worst experience I've ever had. Upon entering, I immediately noticed that the windows and food display glass were visibly dirty, and there were flies inside the restaurant, including inside the cookie display case. The overall environment appeared unsanitary, and the food itself looked like it was in poor and possibly expired condition. There were crumbs and food debris scattered throughout the preparation area, and the cutting boards appeared unclean. Additionally, the staff member who assisted me was unprofessional and unfriendly. I waited several minutes before being acknowledged, and when I was finally helped, I was met with a poor attitude. When checking out, the cashier overcharged me -- I ordered two 12-inch subs and two 6-inch subs, but was charged for three 12-inch subs and one 6-inch sub. Due to the restaurant's unsanitary condition and overall experience, my family and I did not eat the food, as we were concerned for our health and safety. I am therefore requesting a full refund for this order. Please investigate this location immediately, as it presents serious food safety concerns that could put customers at risk. Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and confirmation of my refund.

It's completely empty. Since I always ask them to cut my sandwich in three pieces so I can share it means two people eating the end pieces get mostly plain bread. Add to that stale bread and toppings that aren't fresh and it adds to the disappointment.

I hate to be the barer of bad news but this little small town restaurant has only one thing that brings townspeople in and that is the fact that it is the only semi-real restaurant in town. We lived in Mineral for about a year and had the misfortune to be able to sit down and eat at the Mineral Restaurant. Won't be back to this restaurant ever!!! The appearance is not just run down (which might be excusable) but is extremely dirty. The dirt isn't even just on the ground where you might hope it would be. The walls and ceiling were filthy as well. You wouldn't even know if dirt were falling from the ceiling into your food. Nasty inside and out! The food wasn't even just terrible. It was outright nasty. I ordered the open-faced roast beef sandwich and what I got was two pieces of dry toast with a few slices of packaged roast beef with a few drizzles of some kind of completely bland sauce on top. There was no flavor whatsoever and the portion was ridiculous. I was absolutely speechless. The staff could have cared less whether we had showed up for lunch or not. I really mean cared less as they gave us the bare minimum where service is concerned. There really isn't much reason to continue on with this restaurant but I will say that we won't be back and that is for certain. I DO NOT recommend the Mineral Restaurant for any meal whatsoever!!! read more

The view was beautiful, and I imagine it's even better around sunset or at night.

It took about 15-20 mins for the bartender to get to us, she did acknowledge us before then tho. They should probably have 2 bartenders on weekends; one on well and the other serving guests. Eventually we were able to give our orders. I ordered a blueberry basil martini with vodka, my husband got a pineapple ginger drink (I think). My drink was ok, the basil was over powering tho. My husband liked his. For an appetizer I ordered the sausage lentil soup, it was really amazing. The flavor was savory and the sausage was minced so you didn't have any huge pieces. For dinner I had the saffron chicken ragu. I enjoyed this pasta. The pasta isn't home made but you can tell it's fresh (not dried out before cooking); It reminded me of a cheesy spaghetti, the chicken is minced as well so it's not like chopped/sliced chicken breast. My husband ordered the summer pasta. I liked that one as well. It had whole garlic Cloves, which I love garlic, and a fresh light flavor to it. For dessert we ordered the vanilla bean crème brûlée, no complaints there. The restaurant itself is small, a bit loud since it was busy, and you'll definitely need some patience on a busy night. Overall, I'd def go back if we're near the area.

Awful service and disappointing food…read more We had dinner at this place, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. There were three young ladies serving, but they seemed more preoccupied with sipping their Frappuccinos than taking care of the customers. We were given water, but then had to wait for our beer because they disappeared outside. We waited again to place our order, and then waited a long time for our food. When the pizza finally arrived, it came without a plate. We had to ask for one while the server was busy chatting with the other young ladies. The service was simply horrible. As for the food, the ravioli were undercooked and the pizza was very average. We left extremely disappointed and will never return. AND... be aware of their rating! The restaurant offers customers a free dessert if they write a good review and show it to the servers. So, keep that in mind when you look at their reviews and overall rating.
