The Main Street Mill - Front Royal

The Main Street Mill (500 E. Main St., 540-636-3123) shares a parking lot with Front Royal's tourist information center. Alice Barnhart opened her restaurant in 1997 in a former grain mill: bare beams and wood floors, ceiling fans and tongue-and-groove wainscoting reflect the rooms' origin. Hearty shrimp-and-crab chowder served in bread bowls was $6.95. Customer favorites include the ribs, slow simmered and finished on the grill.
