Our group who were participating in a archaeology lab expedition at James Madison’s Montpelier went here for dinner. Everybody raved about their meals. The food had great flavor and presentation. We had a chef in our group and he loved his meal. The service was attentive and friendly. This is a must do restaurant!

We finally got to try this place for lunch. You order at the counter, and before you know it, your food is brought to the table, very quick service. Be aware that the burgers are big. My husband ordered a double, and luckily, before saying I'd have the same, I asked how big they were. The hamburger patties are one third pound! A single was plenty big for me. We ordered an order of fries to split, that too was more than enough for both of us. They have other sandwiches and hot dogs on the menu too. 3 kinds of fries. The guys working there seem to want their customers to be pleased, they'll build you a burger any way you want it. One negative thing. The ladies room smelled like a urinal. Looking around, I saw it was clean enough, nice even, but I think the culprit was that it had the original wooden floors that have no doubt picked up some smells over the years. A new floor might be in order.

A new restaurant. Opened in feb 2011

I called in a to-go order as I left the James Madison Museum. The nice lady on the phone was knowledgeable and took my order quickly and without issue, stating that it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. I got there in about 5 and had only been sitting for a couple minutes and it was ready for me. I got the TLWBLT with gouda on toasted sourdough. It was fabulous and not massive, though a little hard to get a bite as it was thick and full of bacon, lettuce and tomato. It came with some ruffle potato chips and a pickle spear. It fit the bill and was delicious.

Real Food my go-to lunch spot during the week in Orange. Paul's menus change weekly and focus on locally-sourced ingredients. His menus are creative without being fussy. His summertime salads and sandwiches that feature stone fruit are sublime. For what one might spend on a fast food lunch, you can have an entrée salad with a cup of soup, or a sandwich with a side salad or cup of soup. I eat here nearly every week. In July, one week featured a salad with cantaloupe, Kite's country ham, roasted peanuts, greens and a white balsamic vinaigrette. I liked it so much, I stopped in three days! The hours of operation are limited, but this is a spot not to be missed.

The restaurant doesnt face the main road. So you could easily drive by it if they didn't have the sign on the road pointing to it. Look for that.
Make a reservation on peak nights. They were very accommodating to us without one, however, when we explained we were driving through town on the way to see family and had found them on Trip Advisor.
The French onion soup was excellent. You get soup or a salad and one side with most entrees. They have a wide variety of menu options including seafood, steaks, pasta and sandwiches. They have a kids menu. But there's no seafood on it if that's what they're hungry for.

Friendly, family style atmosphere and pretty good food. From outside the murky glass patio enclosure looks rather gloomy, but it's actually a nice bright place. Big portions and reasonable prices.

My Avocado offers delicious, fresh food, amazing coffee, and wonderful, friendly service.
The style is like Chipotle, where you select the ingredients you'd like for your salad, burrito, or bowl. When you first try My Avocado, your initial reaction will be "delicious!" -- and I'm sure this is because of the fresh ingredients they use.
In addition to the main course, they have soup of the day, wonderful desserts, and amazing coffee.
