HORRENDOUS SERVICE. We came here for breakfast. Seated immediately. Sat for 10 minutes without being acknowledged by any of the 5 servers. Mind you, there were 3 other tables with diners in the entire place. Another family entered the restaurant a few minutes behind, was seated, waited on, and served their drinks and yet still no one acknowledged us. More servers than tables should mean quicker service, one would think. And no, I did not bring it to anyone's attention. I shouldn't have had to. I give this place 2 stars because we have eaten here before with better service and the food is pretty good! That's why we came back! So sad. I'd hate to see how their diners are treated when they're actually busy. This has been crossed off of our list of places to hit for b-fast. Off to Cracker Barrell... UPDATE! We have been back at least twice in the past 3 months. We were greeted and shown to our table promptly by the host/hostess. Our favorite server is back, along with some new additions. The service has been fantastic, as is the food. YAY!!! Love this place, glad to be back! read more

Wow. Everything was awesome. Sausage gravy was some of the best I have had with lots of sausage in the gravy. Daughter had pancakes and literally did not have to use any syrup because the batter tasted like cake. Awesome! I had eggs Benedict and the eggs were poached perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was super tasty. We will be coming back! read more

I've driven by this place so often but its outdated sign never drew me in, not was I ever particularly hungry when passing it before. Today was different however, we were starving! After looking up places near by to eat breakfast, this seemed to be the closest. Though the main rating was 3 stars, I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The inside was very clean and had a homey feeling. It was packed but we were seated quickly and in general the service was great and quick! On to the food, it was delicious!! For your typical breakfast food. However clearly made there and not defrosted from a package. The portions were pretty big. I got the Western omelet which came with potatoes and toast. That omelet easily could have been shared between a few people. The only downfall to the place is that it isn't very cheap for a little place to get breakfast. A cup of coffee was $2 and a glass of sweet tea was $2.50. Overall after a 20% tip, out breakfast for two was $40. The trick to it though, ordering a couple side items as your meal. Enough food for the right price! read more

I have driven by this place again and again and have always wondered about it but never stopped. Last weekend I stopped. Breakfast for one. I ordered the home made chip beef gravy over toast and a side of scrambled eggs. Chip beef gravy was good. I liked it. Wish I had asked for a biscuit substitute for toast, but it was good. Eggs were good. Coffee could have tasted more like coffee instead hot water but I was more interested in my chip beef so I was overall happy. The server staff was so nice. My server was I think Kyle or Kurt..(sorry) 4 different people came over to say hello or to ask if I needed anything. I was advised of the nightly events/menu deals and asked to come back. I felt very comfortable. It was funny though...they have a flat screen TV on the wall. They put me right in front of it. I can't stand when restaurants show the news while I'm eating so I liked that they had on animal planet but wait...it was a dog having an operation! LOLOL. I didn't say a word about it. Just giggled to myself.. until one of the servers noticed it and basically was like "Yikes!" and channel was quickly turned. Great place. Good food. I'll stop in again. read more

I tried their lemon chicken and rice soup: perfection. Their Luzianne sweet iced tea doesn't have an acidic bite. Nice host and servers here every time. Soulvaki, mousakka, breakfast til 2 pm, burgers, appetizers, sandwiches and desserts round out their menu. Clean interiors with booths and tables. Their baked french toast was huge at 6x6x3 . Also, it was equally creamy, sweet and decadent. Their front windows had wreaths and inside the back room they have a fully decorated tree around Christmas time. read more

My friend ordered the meat lovers omelette and truly...what an awesome beast of a meal. I was indecisive (everything looked good) so the "pick any four" menu option was perfect. Best biscuits I think I've ever had with great gravy to match. Delish scrambled eggs (better than iHop). The drinks...phenomenal. They have a menu for mimosas and bloody marys...I had no idea there were so many cool ways to prepare those iconic drinks! Our server was very knowledgable and when I told her it was my first time visiting the place she gave me a brief snippet about the history and gave me a flyer/calendar with all of the awesome upcoming events. She even informed us that the patio would hopefully be complete by end of July...which means I'll soon be a regular! Much love and thanks for a great dining experience! read more

This place is a pleasure to rate. Tuesday is half priced burgers. They don't take anything Away just because their half priced. Our burgers were done just as we ask. Cole slaw and French fries were also top of the line. We were seated very quickly and had our order taken quickly even through they were busy. Service is above average and it's very clean place with lots of parking. We will be going back again soon. Must try Now I know why there's always a lot of cars there. read more

a great little diner along Rte29. Lots of other places nearby but I always end up here. Locals and friendly service. read more

I don't know why this place has such a low rating. Northiside's become my go-to place for dinner after hiking in the Thornton Gap area of Shenandoah National Park. Its a little ways out from SNP, but if your headed back to DC or Baltimore, its right on the way home. Better than trying to find a seat at the snooty establishments in the Sperryville area, that's for sure! Hey, you try going to the Inn at Little Washington after hiking Old Rag, see if they'll give you a seat :) I've taken fairly large groups of sweaty, tired hikers there, they seat us with no issue, no complaints. Split the checks without any problems, service is just what I would expect at a family restaurant. Food is good, cheap, and most importantly for a post-hike meal, portions are large. I got a double cheeseburger last time I was there, and I swear, this never happens to me, I couldn't finish it. My only wish, is that they were open later. Finished a 20 mile hike at 8:30pm last weekend (yes, in the dark), arrived just as they were closing. :( Wound up at some other establishment which shall remain nameless, at far less and spent far more. read more

I'm a little surprised by some of these reviews. The place is not phenomenal, but I really enjoy going here. I have been here a handful of times. I believe the first time I had a veggie panini that I really enjoyed. Many other times I have ordered a turkey reuben, which is a favorite of mine, and I thought it was pretty decent. I don't think the side dishes, specifically the mashed potatoes have ever impressed me too much, I will admit. As far as breakfast, I think their breakfast burritos are very delicious, as well! In fact, I would probably order that every time I went here if they served it all day! Regarding service, I feel as though the wait staff has always been incredibly friendly and accomodating. I think my only complaint is one day we visited with two young children and we were seated in the bar area, where I had never been before. I was a little put off simply because there were some slightly rowdy (I mean like cursing a little, but not crazy rowdy) gentlemen at the bar, which wouldn't bother me at all had I not had my small children there. Otherwise, the back area was kind of nice and quiet, with its own restroom and changing table that I desperately wish I had known existed during a previous visit (HA!). read more

This was first time here for breakfast and it was pretty good. I do check yelp before going so I didn't have a high expectations. I was greeted at door right, server came to to table very quickly and the food was very good. Oh, and the place was very clean. Only thing negative was that it was chilling in the place. They could had turn heat on just to take the chill out. And they need to turn music up more do you done hear other tables conversations. I will be back again. read more

Great diner for this area. The food is always fresh and delicious. They make awesome pumpkin pancakes in the fall with fresh pumpkin. Breakfast is served until 3 on Saturday and all day Sunday. There is also a cool patio area and a bar that is past the main dining room. Almost (or just as) important as the food is the staff. They are amazing. Always warm and friendly, you can tell they enjoy coming to work. read more

Service was good, breakfast not so much. Kids breakfast were stale Mickey mouse pancakes that were either premade then frozen and microwaved or the kind you get from a box, not sure which. My kids could not chew it. My breakfast omelet was fine, but nothing to rave about and my toast was over toasted. Husband liked his biscuits and gravy. May try this place for lunch sometime, when I'm in the mood to give it a second chance,.but no for breakfast read more

I love this place for so many reasons. 1. The servers. They treat you like a local, like family. They keep it real and communicate with you so you never feel forgotten when they are extremely busy. 2. The food. Breakfast until 2pm. I have the hardest time making a decision on what to get just with the breakfast menu. I've never had something I didn't enjoy. 3. The Drink menu. Specifically their Bloody Mary menu. They have a Mary or Maria lol for any one. I have been struggling to find a good and proper Bloody Mary without being overwhelmed with horseradish. This place takes the cake with the perfect ratios in their house blood Mary mix. read more

Nice find on the drive to Charlottesville. Authentic Greek food and very friendly staff. Family owned and operated. Loved the gyro!

Very nice place. Friendly people. I stopped in for a quick lunch. My meal included the homemade chips. They are OK, a little on the soggy side. For the convenience of location and the cleanliness of the restaurant, I would definitely return. "Yay, I'm a fan." read more

Nice place, good food, good service, good selection. What's not to like? We stopped in for breakfast. Nice range of choices. Clean with both booths and tables. The reviewer that talked about bar stools and greek had to be reviewing the wrong place. Nicely remodeled and decorated. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, locally sourced and reasonably priced. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because a few items must have been prepared and then kept in a warmer. Meant we didn't have a long wait for food which is great but it trades crispy bacon. Be great if there's a way to keep the service snappy and food crunchy. We'll be back. read more

The food was terrible (pancakes, eggs, and corn beef hash) and when I ordered the corn beef hash it was burned badly so I sent it back the waiter returned with the same dish just the burned portion scrapped off which is ridiculous to say the least Won't ever go back read more

A great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! They have a huge menu filled with several different options to fit everyone's needs. It is family owned and has a great atmosphere. My family and I enjoy eating their for breakfast after church on Sundays and on Tuesdays for their half price burger night! Stop by and you will not be disappointed. read more

We really enjoyed our meal this evening. Since we are from out of town, it's been nice to stop by a place that had great tasty food. We had the lamb gyro dinner (included Greek salad and fried zucchini) and the corned beef Rueben with home cooked potato chips. It's so hard to find food that isn't a chain, but this was a great find. Next time we come back from the San Francisco Bay Area visiting family we will be back. read more

If you remember this a bar that serves food you will enjoy the food. I had the fish and chips. The fish was rolled in corn flower, too much of it. The service is great and I sure the bar food is good and I will know next time. read more

Terrible. The food was disgusting and the service wasn't any better. This was our first time and last time eating here.

We ate here for the first time. We've passed it for the last 12 years and decided to try it. No one said hi when we walked in. It took five minutes to figure out which of the 6 open tables to seat our party of three. Waitress was nice. Mozzarella sticks were good. Hamburger from hell came without the fixings. Waitress caught it and brought it. Bloody Mary was okay. Son thought it was weird his hot dog bun was toasted and felt hard "like a rock" in his words. I decided to splurge on the $16 greek gyro platter. Terrible idea. The plate was a small, narrow rectangle platter. Small greek salad. Gyro was gray with dried out burned edges. Fried zucchini was uneventful. We paid $50 with tip. No one said bye when we left. Personally, they couldn't have cared whether we were there or not. read more

I would NEVER Go here again in my entire life. The place is gross, the bar was sticky and hadn't been wiped down in a while. When I went to the bathroom I saw the biggest roach crawling up the wall! I brought it up to a guy and his wife r who said tHey were the one owners and they were very rude and saying that I was lying about it. I would never give this place another penny of my money. JusT gross! read more

My first time here. Nice restaurant, bar, service. clean and the breakfast lasagna was incredible!

I patronize Northside 29 two or three times every month, and I have never experienced anything other than good service and tasty food. Breakfast being served until 2PM is huge to me, and yesterday we had a Western Omelette, pancakes, home fries, English Muffins, all kinds of good things, between noon and 1PM, and everything was fine. Empty glasses were promptly refilled, empty plates were promptly cleared away. I am dismayed by some of these negative reviews, and wonder if these people would be unhappy no matter where they went and no matter what they ordered? read more

Everybody knows that a mom & pop restaurant is WAY better than any chain franchise, right? I mean, you have REAL people making REAL food because they LOVE what they do, right? Yelp says this is a Greek diner. It might have been at one point, but now it's just vile. After morning picking apples in Stribling Orchard, I was ready for some lunch. Yelp says "Greek diner" and like an idiot, I believe Yelp. Nice looking rustic exterior, the sort one expects from a rural diner that's been expanded over the years. Inside, no diner, but a bar, some wood paneling, and a bunch of tall stools that exist for the sole purpose of making people uncomfortable so they'll leave. There's also a separate diner area we'll just refer to as "Hell." Hell is where, in spite of the fact that it's 50 degrees and you tell the staff that it's 50 degrees, they turn off the A/C only to turn it back on again. Nice enough server, though. I can't really blame her for the plates of inedible slop described as "souvlaki." When I get souvlaki, I get chunks of grilled pork, not shredded strips of grey mystery meat in French dressing. I said "French dressing." On a Greek dish. Of mystery meat. Anyhoo, I ask the waitress about the fact that my grilled pork chunks are shredded mystery meat in what tastes like candied teriyaki sauce and could they have possibly sent me the wrong dish? No, she's afraid, that's the chef's "special marinade." I should have smiled, choked the stuff down, and left but instead, like an idiot, I decide to send the plate back and get the gyros. This is where it started going downhill. At one time, "gyros" meant "lamb meat heated on a rotisserie, shaved off, and grilled, served with pita, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, feta, and tzaziki sauce." At Northside 29, "gyros" means "strips of Sysco Grey Bologna Product heated on a greasy flattop, served with salt, deepfried pita chips, salt, and salt, with a side of salt for dipping." All the while, since the place is empty, the staff kid is wiping the tables down with a spray bottle of Pine Sol which, thanks to the blasting air conditioner, is getting all over the food. This probably improved the flavor. The kids order chicken tenders and french fries and they have no problem eating them, but then they have no problem eating boogers so what do they know. I'm sure their breakfasts are alright. Could they screw up fried eggs? Maybe. I'll never know. All I know is that I won't come within 50 miles of this place and if you want to be served terrible "Greek" food in a refrigerator, you can't do much worse than Northside 29. read more

This was our second visit to Northside 29. Service is only good if you're a regular patron that they know by name. Several people seated after us were waited on first. We waited at least 10 minutes to give our drink order. When our server finally filled our drink order she disappeared before we could even put in our food order. Another 10 minutes passed and we finally got to order. Sitting here waiting to see how long it takes to get our food. read more

It was a mistake stopping here for breakfast. My sister and I were served pancakes that had molded fermented blueberries in them. After getting our waitress's attention (she was having a personal conversation with all the other servers there talking about unprofessional topics) we brought it to her attention. Instead of apologizing and offering new pancakes she told us the blueberries were fine in the bag they came from and it wasn't bad, but offered to open a new bag and remake the pancakes. I got another pancake (which was fine) but my sister didn't. They offered to take a $1 off the bill. The manager never came over to our table and the waitress continued to give us very bad service. Sadly, after going here for the last 26 years, I won't be going back. read more

If I could give it negative stars I would! Food is mediocre at best, definitely not worth the prices. But what really makes it appalling is I overheard some of the staff complaining about customers calling them racial slurs, i've never been so disgusted in my life.... When I tried to bring it up with somebody they just shrugged like nothing had happened and it wasn't a big deal.... i'm honestly shocked. Stay AWAY from this place. read more

We live in Snow Hill thought we would stop by and try this place out. I went this for lunch on 6/10/2015 after using the restroom I advised the staff there was human feces all over the mens bathroom stall. IN the time we were there not one employee wen it to check it out. Waited for 20 minutes for the worst Gyro in humanity after two bites I paid and left. I advised the manager on the way out and she stated we have never had a complaint and I said I am sure you haven't and she sarcastically yells by as I walked away. I would not recommend this place to eat or even relive yourself. read more

First time I've eaten at this establishment - I had heard they remodled and reopened and was curious. I ordered the meatloaf from the 'comfort food' part of the menu, with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies as sides, and have to say it was terrific all around. I'm a huge meatloaf fan - when done right - and Northside's version was unique and quite tasty, with a sizeable portion. The bread that came with the meal was excellent - no little thing. Light and flaky. Service was very friendly and very prompt ... wait staff was young and eager, and if a little too 'eager', very forgiveable, as I'd rather have someone check on me one times too many, than rarely ever. Price was a little higher than anticipated, but in the end worth it. I'll definitely be eating here again, soon. read more

Don't know what others are talking about. While they may have had some staff kinks early on its been good lately. Burgers and Greek entrees are great as us breakfast. Rice pudding is the king of the dessert table! read more

Perfect little, nondescript restaurant / diner on the north side of a very busy US highway (29). The food is fresh and tasty, nothing fancy, just good food and not expensive either. The place is unusually clean for that type of establishment INCLUDING the bathrooms. Staff are friendly, personable, attentive but not hovering. And the coffee is spectacular!!! read more

I came here today for brunch. Let's just sum it up by saying a full week with family visiting from Maine, a party of 7, several kids, separate checks, and a highly hung over aunt. Lol They were right on top of it from the second we walked in the door. Brittany concocted something for this hung over aunt (no names) lol That brought her back to life. She knows what she is doing. Our waiter Justin was awesome!!!! The food and service was as 5 star as it gets. Kudos to them for dealing with our party with high professionalism! read more
