Cute little restaurant in an old church complete with stained glass windows and high ceilings. Had a simple grilled cheese and chips and it was delicious. The whole party loves their meals and the service was kind and quick- recommend for a good lunch

What a great place to eat and relax! The chicken, bacon, ranch sandwich was delicious. The side salad was fresh and crispy. The taco chili was perfect, and the ham melt was fantastic! We loved the entire experience!

The bread was a little to hard for me. More than one soup choice would have been nice. Service was great. Taste was ok but roast beef could have been more tender.

Food was decent but was surprised to see automatically 20% tip on my check. “It’s what we do now” the waitress says. For proof there is a picture me here and the Automatic Gratuity.

A very classy, yet comfy atmosphere; great open space with multiple dining areas. The service was perfect! Greeted with a smile, and seated immediately. My waitress (Erica) was great!!! She guided me through the menu and helped me find just what I was looking for. I’d highly recommend the raspberry cheese pie!! ❤ Definetely a jem to embrace in Shenandoah.
