We stopped here for breakfast on our way home and was not disappointed. It's small and homey, but the food was good and the service was great!

Where to begin! Amazing experience, cute little restaurant that has a buffet but the plates are big enough to enjoy just one. Martha made the experience the best. She was sweet and funny plus quick and attentive. We hope to come back soon just to be able to have Martha as our server again. Also pancakes melt in your mouth! Love it, you must try it.

Have always driven past this place when in Luray and finally decided to stop in for lunch after exploring the caverns. We were seated right away and told about the buffet. It looked good but we decided to go with some burgers and fries. It took a little while for the food to come out, but it was pretty good. My only critique would be that the fries could have been a little crispier. Overall the prices were very reasonable and it was a cute little place.

Buffet was pretty good. I liked that there was a salad bar, but the greens were a little sad. I loved the stuff shells. The rolls were very dark and dry. Great sweet tea and chocolate pudding. Overall a cute place with friendly staff and the buffet was a decent call for the price.

this was a fun place to grab dinner after a long day of cruising skyline drive and hiking. the food was a bit overpriced for what it was, but we don't mind spending money for the experience either. my husband got the special, it was pork chops and onions in some sort of sauce that was pretty good. i got the buffet so i could try a little bit of everything- lasagna, fried chicken, fried shrimp, and lots of other great sides (chili and mac n cheese were my favorites). the salad bar is great, and dessert is a must

Roadside kitchen outside Luray, Virginia, since 1925. Down home southern cooking to match the knotty pine walls and ceiling. Obviously dated, but with enough charm to make it fit our mood from our first night in Blue Ridge country. We're sure not in Philly any more, Todo! Service was decent from the silver haired ladies in white. We had Chopped Sirloin with brown gravy, Mushrooms and Onions (side of crisp fries), and this evening's Meatloaf Special with Mashed and Cole Slaw (same gravy on the side). They were both pleasantly tasty choices, if not outstanding. On the other hand, I was talked into a slice of their homemade Peanut Butter Pie, served chilled and with a little whipped cream and chocolate drip over the top. Damned fine dessert! Not bad for a first run at dinner in deep countryside. Only thing better would have been a platter of Southern Fried Chicken, but not on the menu this night. At Brookside, the atmosphere is a big part of the show. 3.5 STARS
