They serve breakfast and lunch and they are only open until 2pm. Rule if the parking lot is full the food is great. Service is on top of things and the restaurant is family friendly! read more

Terrible customer service, I went to try and enjoy a meal with my family, my baby accidentally spilled food while she was eating and Brianna (I believe shes the managers daughter) was being very rude about the situation. I picked up as much as i could after my child but it seemed that Brianna wanted us to do a detail cleaning on our table/floor area. This does not feel like a family or kid friendly restaurant and I am extremely upset with the way we were treated, and not only that, a hair appeared on my food, and I didn't make a big fuss of it (which I should have, since it really seemed to bother Brianna the way my child eats) but they did nothing to try and help me in that situation, they seem to be worried about the wrong issue. read more

Papermill Place - GREAT pancakes and bacon! - Diners Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Holy unseasoned food, Batman! I ordered the veggie omelet and it was sooo bland. So very bland and sad. Ever the optimist, I ordered biscuits and gravy to go. But, the biscuits tasted like nothing and even the sausage was bland! I have never met a pork dish I didn't like, so I was very confused. How exactly does one make pork bland? I tried adding salt, but it just sat on top of the lumpy, crumbling biscuits like bits of sand. Can't believe I paid $30 plus tip for prison food. read more

Great food, service, and live entertainment. We also loved the atmosphere. We recommend.

The last time I ordered a grilled ham and cheese and egg sandwich.It was a beautiful sandwich. Today february the fourteenth I ordered the same thing , home fries and a Grilled ham egg and cheese sandwich. The home fries were good but the sandwich was a disaster. I was really disappointed in it. For the price I expected more. I hope the next time they do better. The service was very good. Yvette Took my order. She was very pleasant. Paper milk places always been a place of good food.Good staff friendly atmosphere. read more

I went to college in Winchester, VA and this was my favorite spot for years. After many years away from my college town, I went back for the apple blossom festival and made sure my trip included stopping by Papermill Place. They have the most delicious breakfast in the area. I'm a sucker for their biscuits and gravy. My boyfriend got a breakfast platter and it was a huge serving. We're always surprised by the quick and friendly service along with how inexpensive the meal is. We'll be back Winchester! read more

Went today for lunch. I got meatloaf, fries & cole slaw. The meatloaf was horrible, so salty it was not edible. The fries were fair and the slaw was fine. To add an extra vegetable it cost $4.50, I think that is overpriced for a side dish. Oh and disappointed that they serve Pepsi products Haven't been happy on my last visits here. I don't I'll be going back. read more

This was, by far, the worst experience we've ever had in Winchester. We came here based on outstanding reviews and recommendations about the food, but unfortunately, that was not our experience today. The sausage we received was burnt and inedible, while the house potatoes were poorly seasoned and overly soggy. To make matters worse, our server was unprofessional--she didn't even introduce herself and exhibited a negative attitude throughout our visit. read more

My buddy and I flew to Winchester Airport to find a place for breakfast. Got a ride here after a recommendation, and was very pleased! It was busy on a weekday morning, so we grabbed to seats at the bar, and sat next to a few regulars. I ordered a Steak & Egg Omelette, and was quite impressed!! Steak & Egg Omelette, and they use FRESH jalapeño read more

Lightening fast service (thanks, Andrew!), generous portions, the best sausage I've maybe ever had. What's not to love?

Best pancakes and gravy! Such fresh food and coffee. Very friendly staff, fast sevice.

Breakfast while in town attending the regional Apple Blossom festival- had an opportunity to grab a hearty breakfast before the day's activities. While the food was decent enough, be aware that wifi is spotty and the restaurant is hesitant to give up a password. Lots of senior patronage as a local, friendly gathering place. Suggest hash browns over home fries with your breakfast. Good food, just not overwhelming. read more

We've been a few times, and food is always good. Service can sometimes be perfunctory...I get the feeling that the place really caters to locals. The kitchen does seem to be a bit single-threaded, but the food has always been good when it comes out. We particularly like sitting at the counter and watching the food being made. read more

Service was wonderful, all of the servers were super nice. The food came out in less than 5 minutes. Food was also great. Would recommend!

We like going here because it's always consistent. Very good pancakes and diner food. Fairly priced and friendly service Kinda old homey local place. Probably best breakfast-lunch place in town. read more

For the past few times (more than 4) my online order is never correct. It's like after the line disconnects, you do whatever you want. Didn't ask for double bacon, but somehow ended up with that. I asked for turkey sausage, I don't eat pork!! Ordered scrambled eggs with cheese that never even made it with my order. Your customer service is no longer good. When I come sit, no problems. Online orders are horrible!!! After 6yrs, the past few have gone down hill. Won't be returning... disappointed! Didn't even send plasticware.... read more

Papermill Place - Out the entire order, this is what I got.... - Diners Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Just started eating here last week. Food is fantastic. Staff is friendly and very nice. Service is excellent. Very nice ambiance. Plenty of parking. It's amazing, there are always a lot of customers but it never seems to slow down the service. Never a long wait. Everything is always cooked perfectly and made to order. Highly recommend. Hours are 7am to 2 pm every day. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is ok, however there needs to be some attention to toasted items like english muffins and toast. These items should not be hard and have butter in clumps. The scrambled eggs should be fluffy and not chopped and over cooked. The service is good. The kitchen is slow. The ambiance is not welcoming. The staff was told to not talk to the customers, other than to take an order (especially the regulars). I find this offensive. As a regular, i spend around $8k a year in the restaurant. I have heard the managers admonishing the wait staff on the serving floor several times. I also heard a manager talking about asking a customer to leave because they were sitting too long. As a customer we like to eat at places that we feel welcome. Work and dinning should not be a dreadful experience. read more

Ok I decided to drive out and was hungry and I stopped by around 10AM during the middle of the week and was surprised and happy to see that there were a good number of people coming into eat. They have a great menu with plenty of options and the portion size was excellent I got a single pancake with a side of meat, I chose bacon, and was pleasantly surprised to see they gave me 4 strips. I would certainly recommend this place, if I'm out this way I will certainly stop by. read more

Ate breakfast at this diner. The cook looked like he was still in high school. The pride he took in his job and keeping the area clean was amazing. Service was great and prompt. read more

Looking for a home cooking type of restaurant, this place was suggested by a person at the Virginia welcome center. So my dining mate and I decided to have lunch there. A nice comfortable restaurant with reasonable priced menu. However I was disappointed with my meal. My go to lunch is chicken salad so I ordered a chicken salad plate with 2 sides. I chose green beans and coleslaw plus I ordered a separate side of onion rings. The onion rings were good but there is where it ended. I did not like the chicken salad which texture was very finely ground and bland tasting and no real chicken flavor . The coleslaw so sweet I could not eat it, not sweet and tangy just sugary tasting. The green beans tasty though. My dining mate ordered a tuna melt and a separate side of macaroni salad. He liked the tuna on rye said it was tasty but said the macaroni salad just ok and a little too sweet. Since we were passing through the area, on route home, I doubt I would return here again. Although the portions were good, plated nicely, reasonably priced and friendly service , what we ordered was nothing memorable for our palates. read more

Food was very good. Large portions and sausage gravy is the best. My favorite local place to go for a southern home cooked breakfast. read more

A very welcoming restaurant. The staff were friendly and service was quick. The food was A+ when we ate the Meat Lovers Breakfast and the Haddock dinner. The atmosphere in the restaurant was like your favorite place to eat back home. We stayed in Winchester on vacation, 2 days, and ate at the Papermill Place both days. The best choice we could make! read more

I'm surprised to see so many negative views, but admit this was my first visit to this restaurant and it was just for breakfast, which was excellent. It was a rainy day on a Saturday morning and there was a crowd trying to get in around 11 am. It was hard to find a place to stand and didn't want to get soaked, so a bunch of people started crowding the tiny doorway- not a great idea in a COVID era. My wife and I were about the 4th people in line, and we had just beaten the crowd I guess because soon enough, that doorway was jammed. Some old lady kept getting right in my face. Neither of us had masks on and frankly, I'm not that worried about catching anything, but damn, this woman was two inches from my face and it was getting to me. I'd like to see this restaurant invest the few dollars it would take to get some kind of seating system that uses technology to keep people from crowding the small area, not only due to covid, but because you have to fight for your spot in line and make sure you memorize who was in front of you and I saw a lot of awkward situations taking place- some old geezer decided to just march to the front of the line and a lady and her little son had to tell him they were next, etc. Just give people a pager or even an online seating system- all the old people that ate their had phones, so they could participate. We were seated rather quickly as the servers, cashier, and cooks were really rolling people in and out and it reminded me of the diners I see back in my hometown in NY. Just a team of people working together to get their customers seated, fed, and paid up. They all did a great job. My wife and I both had breakfast- she had French toast, hash browns and fruit I think, and I had pancakes, eggs, hash browns, and sausage. Our food was great- the French toast was not the huge, super thick bread that some places think is good but I don't, it was good old fashioned French toasted and it tasted great. The hash browns, I always prefer them over home fries, and PP is the rare place that offers both, were also very good. The thing that stood out to me were the pancakes as they were really, really, excellent in my opinion. They were light, fluffy, cooked perfectly and they had a great taste. I could have eaten another stack for sure and I'd drive the hour to Winchester just to have breakfast at PP again. Our waitress was a pro, a skinny little older woman who hustled her tail off and never forgot a thing, never stopped moving, yet found a way to be extremely friendly. She was awesome. The cashier who rang us up (a dedicated cashier was a very good idea) was friendly and fast. We'll be back one of these days! Thank you Papermill Place staff, you all did a great job with a very big crowd. read more

Papermill Place has the RUDEST manager I have EVER met. I took a friend there for lunch. My friend works very close to Papermill Place and only has 45 minutes for lunch. We ordered a tuna, and chicken salad sandwiches. After about 20 minutes I went to the counter as I didn't see our waitress to ask how long it would be as we were on a limited lunch break. The person at counter asked where I was sitting and I pointed to it. The Manager proceeds to come to our table with a check in hand barking at me, "Your order has only been in the kitchen for 10 minutes and we are busy!" Yes, there were a few tables of people maybe 8 tables of people with at least 5 wait staff. As we were leaving, I saw the Manager and told her, "You were rude." She proceeded to yell at me in front of customers, "You were rude, this isn't a fast food restaurant!" I was rude for politely asking a question?!? read more

Great local place for home cooked meals. Service is always friendly. Can get busy on weekend mornings. Been coming here for 15 years and always great experiences read more

The grill cook needs to learn how to fix a grill cheese sandwich. Un melted cheese between 2 slices of lightly grilled Texas toast is NOT a grill cheese sandwich. And your potato salad made my husband sick. Since Alex left, your food has gone downhill. read more

This use to be one of my favorite breakfast locations, not anymore. Upon arrival a waitress asked how many would be in our party, I said 3. My daughter and I had arrived separately from my son. I was informed that the supervisor/ owner prohibited seating unless all parties are inside. My daughter and I were hungry, so I told my son I'd order him his food to go. I informed the waitress that sat us that we'd only be a party of two. I heard the supervisor/owner reprimanding the waitress who sat us, thinking we broke the rule. The prices have increased, which is expected. Our food wasn't like it used to be, portions are smaller and unseasoned food. I asked if they are under new management and they are not. The customer services is lacking, the food was fair, the prices have increased and if anything do NOT ask to be seated even if someone is looking for parking. read more

This was my second time at the place because the first time was so phenomenal I had to come back a second time but something was different. The coffee tasted different and the fried potatoes really weren't fried potatoes cuz we were the onions like last time. The breakfast sausage could have been chopped up rather than put in the burrito whole. New cooks? read more

Prices have gone way up ($4. for a side) and the quality has gone down. Folks who can afford it, don't mind so much when prices go up a little, as long as the quality stays the same or gets better. Such a shame to see one of Winchester's better restaurants go downhill so fast. read more

Average food, decent service, small serving size. Ordered an omelette and it looked like it was kids' size.

Needed to be in Winchester to get a windshield replaced at Winchester auto glass. The receptionist recommended the Papermill for breakfast while I wait.... "it's only a block down" So after a pleasant walk, I make it into the Papermill and am greeted with a smile, and a "go ahead and seat your self" at which point I noticed the place is full and I'll be taking a seat at the counter, where a great mix of men are seated from coat and tie , to the Sheetrock worker sitting next to me. Let me tell you now this is not foo foo coffee and scones! This is Black coffee, real eggs, and no kidding hash and pancakes! All of which you can sit at the counter and watch being made! I will say the locals with special dietary needs can still get some egg whites and sliced tomatoes. No questions asked. I felt at home, it was clean, busy, and other than the occasional phone calls for the gentlemen getting the day started, it was all conversation with strangers, which turned into breaking bread with friends. Will I be back? You bet. read more

Nothing special about this place. Insipid food. Not your best place to eat if you are a minority. Some waitresses lack customer service. Always packed. I do not recommend read more

Great service and great standard breakfast: 2 eggs, home fries and bacon. Our food was ready and served in less than 10 minutes!

Sometimes it's the little things in life. By little I mean chicken and dumplings, green beans with ham hock, sweet tea (aka, molasses in a glass), and apple cobbler. Yep, the little things. This is the place to find those little things and then some. It's the kind of place you'll be called "sweetie" whether you're 10, 40, or 72. It's the kind of place where your glass never goes empty and someone will ask if you want dessert before you even finish the main course. Where cornbread comes standard and a smiling face is guaranteed. To my knowledge, it is the best country-style breakfast and lunch/supper you will find in the area. And yes, you just might find a chicken bone or two in with your dumplings. But hey, that's how you know they're homemade. read more

Rode in on a Saturday, getting there 1300 or so. Parking lot was full, and we waited a bit, but were seated in 5 minutes. Place is a favorite among the old folk, and as the other reviews said, the menu is replet with comfort food selections. I had a mushroom Swiss burger with fries and pickled beets as a side. Food came quickly, and it was good. Waitress was very attentive, but not a pest. Of course I had pie too. Cherry pie, and good, but I think it may have been mass produced... We found this place while looking for a place to ride on a pretty Saturday in February. My buddy had seen it listed in one of those 30 places to eat in Virginia lists. I've been to many places to eat in Virginia, and I guess if I had to list 30 places, I'd put it on the list. And, in an area with tons of chain spots, it is a nice local color place. They also serve breakfast all day, but def a comfort food diner type of fare... Ought to go check it out, and anyplace that has pie is always a can't miss spot... read more

The food used to be so good here not anymore ... Eggs were burned and..toast was hard as a rock.. never again...

Stopped for breakfast while on vacation. It was a really excellent meal. The breakfast menu is extensive and I choose the eggs, corn beef hash (not too salty and meat was fresh and tender) and potato combo. My husband chose the pancakes. The biscuits were fresh and fluffy and sausage gravy was a little gooey but tasted fine. Everything was delicious. Our waitress, Holly, was very busy but did a great job. Staff is masked and there are Plexi-glass booth dividers between booths. Nice that they care. Definitely on my "return to" list. read more

This local diner has home cookin' and did an OK job with breakfast when we visited early last year, but today we tried lunch and all I can say is: NEVER AGAIN!!! My husband got their ground beef dinner with mashed potatoes that tasted instant; the whole plate was drowning in horrible brown gravy and the meat was so bad he only ate half. The stewed apples he got as a side were disappointingly overcooked, but the good news is that teeth were not required! My BLT almost got sent back because the toast was lightly burned, but it was tolerable overall (but not worth repeating). I upgraded from chips to fries and they were fairly warm but bland as all get-out, and clearly frozen, not fresh potatoes. They were straight cut, not the ripple cut shown in some online photos. I saw someone nearby get pancakes and they looked very thin and dark, and as I was leaving I saw a woman about to dive into a plate of something that looked EXACTLY like the dog had eaten it and given it back! The floors were filthy and someone else's used napkin was jammed between my booth seat and the wall -- ICK!!!! The waitresses were super-duper born naturals and we were surprised by a voluntary 10% senior discount when we checked out, so we added that to the tip. Sorry, not going back. read more
