“Fantastic”

As a Staunton local, I have to say this is one of the best restaurants in the area. The food is always fabulous. You'll start with warm break served with a flavored butter. I love this. And the salads are great! Just something a little different. There are always more than enough choices for your main course which makes it a great choice when eating out with lots of people. And if you like fried green tomatoes...theirs are to die for!!! My favorite part of the meal. The atmosphere is great too.

“Very good, but perhaps not as outstanding as other reviews suggest.”

Our party of six certainly enjoyed a very good meal at the Mill Street Grill before heading to a play, but it was not, in our view, quite as outstanding as suggested by other reviews, and the cost was a bit more expensive than the pub ambiance might lead one to expect (our meal for four adults and two kids came to $190, with only a few drinks among us, one appetizer and no desserts). Also, the ribs were indeed very good, but the exuberant praise on other reviews again seems a bit over-rated. The filet mignon, paella and a blackened redfish were also quite good. Dinner was very slow coming (almost two hours for our meal), but we were informed about 2/3 of the way through our meal that one of the ovens had broken down, so the delay might not be reflective of typical service. The bread was great, but we were all a bit puzzled why the waitress took all of our bread away as the entrees were served -- we had hoped to continue to eat the bread with our meal, and not rely on it as an appetizer alone. All in all, I would recommend the Main Street Grill, but would rate it just a notch below the apparent consensus from other reviewers here.

My husband and I arrived on a Friday evening and the place was hopping! It was a 20 minute wait for a non-smoking table, which is never long, especially if there's a bar on site. We were seated well within 20 minutes. It was very crowded and pretty noisy, but the overall mood was cheerful. The menu was expansive. Most of the things on it you would expect to see on a pub-type menu, but there were gourmet type items interspersed throughout. My husband had the crab and bleu cheese bisque. It was not as heavy as most bisques I've had, but it was tasty. The bread is fresh baked and the butter blended daily.

The ribs are what people come for. They were every bit as good as advertised. The salad and the vegetables were fresh and robust looking, which is tough in December, and the orange-poppyseed dressing was really nice on the fresh greens.

The most special thing about our dinner was the service. Our waitress did not miss a detail. She was attentive without being overbearing and made sure that the meal was perfectly timed.
I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant where the service was pleasant and efficient. I really wish I had gotten her name, because she made the difference between a nice dinner and a memorable experience.

Our local B&B suggested this grill and it was superb. A short wait of 10 minutes for a table in midweek (we had not booked) indicated good things to come. The restaurant was full of local people and had a good atmosphere. The food was varied and although all three of us chose different meals we found them superb. the portions were average US sizes, good quality food that was cooked perfectly. We had ribs, steak and salmon, a marvellous peppermint sorbet and creme brulee to finish. If you are in the Staunton/Waynesboro area try it you won't be dissappointed.
