Stalactite Cafe - Luray

All we bought were two yoghurts, but we were surprised by the common courtesy of a smile, tray, placemat, and napkins. Common courtesy with a smile! Uncommon.

Very clean, courteous, and friendly people. Food was tasty and quick. Cost effective too.

Here you are finishing a nice tour of the caverns and ready for a nice meal at the “cafe restaurant.” You crane your neck to look at the menu and all seems well and good with reasonable prices. Buyer beware! The pictures you see following this review may be disturbing for some, viewer discretion is advised. As I finished my payment, I immediately see the clerk take two extremely small round pre packaged Jimmy Dean bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit and get placed in a microwave powerful enough for industrial use. After opening the package there’s about 1/2 an egg cemented with what appears to be yellow plastic cheese and a round piece of what they call bacon. I feel bamboozled and quite disappointed. Two coffees, two so called bacon egg and cheeses, one muffin and a danish was not worth the 23+ dollars. One star for the very kind service from the lady behind the counter. Minus four stars for having less than comparable food to seven eleven. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the tale… Ps… coffee tastes like water flavored with coffee. I would rather drink the water from the dream lake inside the cavern. Update 20 minutes later Found a quaint coffee place called Broad Porch. It’s located a little further away if you want quality food coffee for two people under $20 see last few photos.

Very good and convenient! Simple good food and nice people. Can’t find nice people everywhere you go these days! Thank you!

It's a cafe attached to the caverns with the sole purpose of getting a few extra dollars out of cave patrons. You're not coming here for an elegant meal. Grab a $5 cheeseburger or a $5 chicken sandwich or a $5 plate of cheap nachos and enjoy after a couple of hours of walking the caverns. There is some outdoor seating which is actually quite nice when the weather is right.
