This lunch with friends was to celebrate a birthday. Almost all of us had their wonderful gourmet burgers. The other person had "probably the best fish tacos I've ever eaten". The burgers are truly superb and well worth the journey. I had the Stroganoff Burger...MoreThank you for selecting us for your special birthday gathering. We look forward to your return. - Alan

Valentine's dinner. Didn't feel like driving a great distance so decided to visit the Blue Ridge Cafe. Previous visit was outstanding. This visit, for Valentine's dinner was somewhat disappointing, perhaps partly due to expectations. My wife's dinner was good but barely warm. My meal was a bit more disappointing. Steak was cooked medium but was extremely dry (not juicy at all), lobster tail was too chest, crab cake reminded my of a cod fish cake. However crab dip was very good. Service was very good, but this time the kitchen was their downfall. Was not that busy as we arrived shortly after 1pm... So expected that the kitchen would not be rushed and could devote time to achieve excellence. Didn't happen, especially disappointing on a special dinner day.

Had a great breakfast to celebrate my birthday with my hubby! The truffled eggs Benedict was excellent! Farmers breakfast for my husband also was great. The house made sausages are always a special treat! We even were treated to mimosas because we had to wait a bit for our food! Jack’s Shop Kitchen is such a great addition to Ruckersville!

I've become a regular at Sombrero's. The owners are beautiful people who simply want to provide a good dining experience for their clientele. Very informal atmosphere, delicious food, and very affordably priced. I had the breakfast burrito at about 9:30am and it was so filling that I'll be skipping lunch! I probably should have carried half of it home. Their coffee is not the boring drip-style. This is really finely prepared coffee, dark and flavor-packed -- I'll be alert all day! And all for six bucks -- are you kidding me??!! Stop in, enjoy, you won't regret it. Thank you, Bernardo and Lucrecia for your nice little restaurant and for your entrepreneurial spirit. Keep up the good work!

Nice as it was, the Greene Eatery suffered the vagaries of a population that didn't understand it. Some folks thought it was "Fussy", others were insulted by the Hours of Operation. Whatever the reason, the Town lost a unique restaurant and a golden opportunity. Too bad for us, Stanardsville!
Next up in this location, is some form of Mexican. I wish them well!
