We went to L’Dees Pancake House after being told it’s a staple brunch spot in Front Royal. With that in mind, we ordered quite a bit.
We got two scrambled eggs that came with turkey sausage links, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. We also ordered a cinnamon apple pancake, a traditional pancake, and the honey mustard chicken sandwich with potato chips.
The eggs were soft and full of flavor, the turkey sausage was tasty, and the hashbrowns were soft as well. Everything was very delicious. The cinnamon apple pancake tasted exactly like the name, we didn’t even need extra syrup because every bite had apple and cinnamon flavor. The pancakes were soft and not too thick. For the original pancake, the staff cut a Christmas tree into the center, which I thought was a really nice touch. Since it’s a plain pancake, syrup is needed, and we went with the maple syrup, which gave it a great taste. Again, the pancake wasn’t overly thick, which I liked.
The honey mustard chicken sandwich was soft, and the chicken was thin-cut, so you don’t get that usual dry meat feeling. The lettuce and tomato tasted fresh and had a nice crunch with every bite. The potato chips were standard, nothing amazing there, but they did the job.
To drink, I had their hot chocolate, which paired really well with breakfast. It was just the right amount of chocolatey and not overbearing. I didn’t add whipped cream, but that is an option.
Overall, this place is highly recommended. Nothing disappointed me, and honestly, from the taste to the prices, everything was great, I wanted to keep ordering, lol. Our waitress was patient and didn’t rush us at all. We got there around 12:30pm (they close at 1:00pm), and they still let us stay and enjoy our meal until about 1:45pm. If I ever find myself in Front Royal again, I’ll definitely be back. 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place to enjoy breakfast. Parking is a bit tight and wait times can vary but definitely worth a visit. Our server was sweet and awesome and always around. Food came out on time and was delicious.

Stopped at this spot on the way through to West Virginia. We got a little lucky with timing as we got seated right away. Food came out in a timely manner. Waitress was very kind and on top of coffee refills throughout our meal. I thought the meal itself had a good portion for the pancake based dish I ordered. The party I was with got the biscuits and that could have had more portion size. But overall a good dinner breakfast meal

Such a cute dinner in Front Royal! Great service and atmosphere. We ate here for breakfast and it was the perfect spot before we explored the shops downtown. The food was delicious! Don’t skip the home fries!

What a treat! Great customer service, fantastic food, and fairly priced. That’s so rare these days. We happened to stop by when driving from DC to our home in TN and found this by way of searching for a breakfast stop. They seated us quickly and refilled our coffee constantly. The food was perfect. So happy we stopped here! I believe it was cash only so keep that in mind. We fed 8 people for under $100.

Good place for classic American-style breakfast. No mess, no fuss, just the good stuff. I got some chocolate pancakes with bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs with cheese. Food was good for the price and portion. Perfectly average, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food came out surprisingly fast despite how busy it was. Biggest selling point is their pies: I was convinced to take home a slice of cherry and now I wish I bought a full pie

This is such a cute spot! Perfect small town feel. I went by myself for a quiet breakfast, and it was very enjoyable sitting at the bar with the regulars. The prices are very reasonable. The pancakes were delicious and the staff were kind. I’d come again!

Good food with reasonable prices but not happy with all the up charges. Unlike anyone else they charge .25 to add lettuce, .25 tomato & .25 onions to a sandwich. Plus .50 if you ask for onions. They won’t tell you any of this – & only part of it is mentioned in fine print on menu. No deli & most restaurants will not charge for these extras!

Awesome place for a quick bite! I came with my son to have breakfast before heading out to Shenandoah National Park. The service was great. The waitresses were very friendly and quick to seat us and take our order. My son got some pancakes and I got an order of Sunnyside up eggs with hash browns, a toasted buttered English muffin, and some biscuits with sausage gravy. All the food came out super quick and was delicious. I really like how they turned my sons pancakes into a pig. The only minor gripe for me was the amount of sausage in the gravy. I think it should had a little bit more, but considering the very fair prices, it’s not much of an issue. The coffee here was also excellent. We also got a fruit cup for dessert which was a perfect ending to our meal.
The restaurant is on the smaller side, but we had no issue finding seating. It was very clean and had a very welcoming atmosphere. Pricing was very fair considering the food portions (not huge, just definitely more than fair). We definitely would’ve made a second visit to try the other offerings, but we didn’t have time.
This place is definitely recommended for anyone in the area.

A friend and I drove from Winchester for breakfast and it was definitely worth the trip!! It was so busy when we arrived, we got the last table! I have a baby in a car seat and the staff were so thoughtful in trying to get us the best table to fit the baby. Our server was a sweet older lady. She was so friendly and attentive and something about her made you feel like you were at grandmas house! I got an omelette and I thought it was great. No big to-do just a normal omelette and I loved it. My friend got the French toast meal and it looks delicious, she said it was great! The prices were very reasonable and the place was cute! I will be back and I recommend others try it!
