We were visiting from out of town and the great reviews led us to the Knotty Pine. The overturned grease bucket by the dumpster should have been the clue to leave. But we went in to find a restaurant that was frozen in 1964, when it opened. We recognized the linoleum flooring from a house we’d lived in…in the 60s. The AC units had clearly been leaking, air vents not cleaned, and everything seemed covered with a thick coat of grease, including the menus. The blinds were so dirty, flies everywhere, poor lighting, and ceiling tiles appearing to be ready to fall. We could see where there used to be charm but it needs some serious TLC. There was no music playing but if there was, it would have It felt like we weren’t supposed to be there. Pros: The food was decent, very affordable, and the service was friendly. It definitely has a “regulars” vibe. Don’t forget your cash!

Loved it! Our server, Philip was fantastic. Everything was cooked to order. We had cheeseburger, double cheeseburger and hot roast beef. Our sides were fries. Though not homemade, they were delicious. The gravy was so thick and great flavor. We also had a potato pancake. The bill was close to $40 and definitely worth it!

My family went here for an impromptu breakfast and I have 0 regrets. Our waitress was so dang sweet. She knew the apteins coming by name, and made sure everyone felt welcomed. The food was so tasty. We got pancakes, French toast, eggs, home fries. Some of the most comforting home cooked style meals I’ve had in a while. I hope the owners of the building are able to get some funding to do critical structural repairs of the ceiling. This place deserves to have long lasting spot here in Front Royal!!!

This place is THE perfect little diner! Donna was awesome. They even made my son a huge Micky Mouse pancake. I would definitely recommend. The place did smell like smoke, and there were hints of conferderate flags in the decor. Other than that….things were great!

The food was not up to par. Sausage was raw and the bacon was over cooked. I guess they were out of white bread, we were served dry wheat toast. When asking for butter, we received a cup of melted margarine. The condition of the interior was beyond words. Dirty and in desperate need of repairs. Emergency light at the front door was hanging by the wires only. Flies and bees flying around. Really disappointed. Not recommended.
