Royal Restaurant

Service was good, sat outside and heaters kept you warm-definitely a nice Saturday morning. Had French toast-not as good (soggy middle) as the first time I had it. Royal breakfast good-love the 3 sausages ( a little too greasy) . Had coffee w/cream sugar-love the cups n saucers. Second poured cup was cold , had to wait for new pot. Nice place.

Finally stopped in to see the changes at Royal. It's definitely gotten a facelift but still feels nice and comfy like before. You know what also didn't change? The lovely service.I just went in for breakfast and it was the big Royal one. If you need to get some carbs in, this will do it. I really liked the texture of the pancakes even though it was a little browner on the bottom than I'd like. I'd come back again for them though. So, right now, it's a 3-star for me because it's A-OK and I didn't feel I needed to run back there even though it's SO close to me. I'll definitely try it again for lunch or dinner and maybe something there will keep me wanting more.All in all, this is still a solid spot to come and have a good meal with generous portions.

Nice corner spot in Old Town, have been going by it for years & decided to try today. Super friendly greeting & conversation by the Hostess. Seated quickly in nice dining area near bar. Plenty of room inside (seating not over crowded). Easy to read menu, with unique breakfast selections to more traditional. Our waiter was also doing bartending duties, I think somebody was late. He was friendly and answered our questions about the menu and seemed to be handling both his duties well. My wife and I had some more walking to do so we decided to split the breakfast burrito. It was plenty for us and even felt we had a little room to try one of the delicious looking cakes displayed on the bar. Burrito could have been a solid 5 - I loved the concept, the flavors were there, the cheese wrapped around the tortilla was delicious with a little crunch. The green sauce around it was awesome. Only complaint was that it was served on a skillet and expecting a little suzzle, but it was not really warm. If warmer, it would have been a 5 ++. The cake looked amazing, but was a little dry, frosting was delicious. My wife barely ate any so I tried to finish, I cannot waste any cake, not even dry cake- LOLThe additional help arrived during the meal, she was also great. Coffee was hot and stayed full. Our burrito was brought out on separate skillets which was really nice of them as we did not expect that. We will be back, want to try the New Jersey dish. We will probably resist the cake.

Apparently, I never have Southwest food before until last Saturday and I was not disappointed! The corn bread was moist, a hint of sweet; and had corn kernels and the devil eggs were good not as creamy as i like it. The chicken and Waffles were the BEST I ever had! The Waffles were super light, airy; and crispy; the chicken batter was light, flavorful, juicy, crispy; i think the chicken was brined because it was packed with so much flavors! The service was excellent and the place was cleaned, cozy; and bright.

Great Food... Large Portions... Shrimp and grits...,excellent...Pancakes...Terrific Place is spotless

Nestled close to Old Town Alexandria is Royal Restaurant. I believe they recently made updates to the restaurant with a new patio. They have their own parking lot and there's also lots of street parking options. The service was good and their smash burgers were divineee. I could've eaten 5 of them. I definitely want to check out their happy hour as it gets warmer too. I'm curious about their signature espresso martini and can't wait to give it a try next time.

The food here is incredible.The first time I was here, I came with as friend for breakfast. I had a crispy delicious salad with fluffy eggs. My friend had syrupy fluffy pancakes. I had to come back.I was shocked/delighted to see that they had a fabulous nicely decorated outdoor space too.Came with two friends visiting from out of town and the stroganoff that my friend hand arrived in this beautiful bowl that you could definitely see the bottom of when he was done.Hubby had this sweet and savory bbq sandwich that I kept going back for more. Next time I'm ordering either of those two dishes.If you go,check out the decorated bathroom. The tiles are beautiful.

Last night, we made our first visit to the Royal since its remodel. It looks pretty good and we like the new outside deck.Aside from it being a gorgeous evening, we chose to eat outside because the inside was set to the lowest temperature I have ever encountered in a restaurant. What the...Service was excellent.The dinner menu has a bar food/Latino emphasis.We both ordered the Meatloaf Melt. This is an outstanding and delicious sandwich. However, the flavor of the shoestring garlic-epazote fries was offputting and I shoved them to the side.

It was my friend's birthday, so of course we needed weekday brunch! The Royal Restaurant in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia has the best service. Everyone there is extremely sweet and accommodating. Their twist on a Caesar salad was a pleasant surprise, the burger was cheese and delicious, and the chocolate cake was so moist.

Excellent food! Meatloaf was spectacular. Cannot recommend enough. Wife had a great steak. Nice drinks. Great staff.
