Spring Chicken
I appreciated the homemade aspect but the food wasn’t seasoned and wasn’t good. Our waitress was great and love the family feel but other than the huge portions it’s a no for us.

The menu here is vast. We enjoyed the pasta and chicken parm. The spaghetti sauce was a sweet sauce. The service was exceptional. I love that they had Bluestone wines as we just finished doing a wine tasting there.

We went for Sunday brunch. Most of our party got the buffet. So, once the waiter finally took our orders we were able to eat. The brunch buffet isn’t huge but it is sufficient and everything tastes good. It consists of breakfast food, pizza, and salad. It wasn’t very crowded when we started eating around 11:15 AM but was filling up by the time we left. Our waiter was overwhelmed and not friendly. All he had to do was a few refills (most of us got water so he gave us a pitcher), pick up plates, and bring out one order from the menu. The person who ordered off the menu waited so long for his food that he decided to just get something off the buffet and take his order to go. This was definitely the worst service I’ve had at Francesco’s. I’m sure they are understaffed, but it was really bad. The waiter was tripping over chairs and banging into things and seemed angry to be working. I actually felt bad for him. He was just very unpleasant. Thankfully the food was good and we were able to have a nice family outing. The rest of the staff seemed friendly and welcoming.

Stopped in for lunch and had an amazing time!! Sharon was so kind and personable and gave us great recommendations for what to enjoy for lunch! The steak and cheese was the best my husband has ever had. We will definitely be back!

I enjoyed the food, service and environment. A good country drive from 81 near JMU or other area attractions, but we’ll with the trip. Hank made the experience that much better.

This restaurant has very good customer service along with very good food that was worth the amount of money I paid for it. I really did enjoy the interior decorations also along with the music and plenty of space in between tables. I would highly recommend this restaurant to people who live in Bridgewater Virginia and even outside of Bridgewater Virginia if they want to have good food along with a good time!

Cardboard crust pizza, unsalted, rubbery fries, chicken jerky on our sub, and rude staff. . .
This place was a huge disappointment. Our party of 4 walks in, and one of the two women behind the counter say, “Wait, I’ll be with you.”
They have many options on the menu – but our food was very DISAPPOINTING. My Ceasar salad had parmesan powder cheese on it. When i asked about it, the waitress said if I looked for the powder cheese, I would see it. The chicken sub had chicken that looked more like a jerky dog treat.(picture below) Our pizza slices looked like LITERAL cardboard with cheese poured over it. I had never seen anything like it. The tomato on the sub had the hard bottom piece on it, and the fries were like short, rubber pieces. Our fries had no salt at all. Also, the ceiling is painted black (it has a dingy feel), and the music was obnoxious. On the way out, we saw 4 pitchers of soda or tea that had been sitting out on a counter for over an hour, not covered at all. I wouldn’t waste money here again.
*The extremely thin piece of meat in the picture below is the entire piece of chicken from half the sub.
I usually always try to say something positive about a place, but I can’t think of anything. . .Don’t waste your money!!
**I would recommend ‘Vito’s Pizza Pie’ in McGaheysville if you have the time. It’s about 20 minutes from Bridgewater.

We arrived at 12:45 for the lunch buffet that runs from 11:00 to 2:00. Most of the trays were empty or very near empty and what was left in them was hard and dry. I went to the front counter and ask if they had any sauce for the calzone and was told yes but it would cost extra. The different pizzas they had out were ok, nothing special. The front of the house staff spent a lot of time on their phones. I don’t know what the menu items are like because we unfortunately got the buffet. This was the worst dinning experience I have had in quite a while and definitely will not be back.

Nice, quiet restaurant. Stopped in for lunch and tried the buffet. It was just ok. Nothing really wowed me that was on it. The best item was the buffalo chicken pizza. Friendly service and good people. However, midevel Italian food
