Elkton’s Grub&Gab Diner - Diner in Elkton - 105 South Terrace Ave, USA

A quaint little diner in the main section of downtown Elkton. The food and service were great; but it is the charm of this place that draws you back. It’s like stepping back in time.

They have buckwheat pancakes! Yummy! Haven't had any in several years. They are hard to find. I also had the biscuits and gravy. For breakfast dessert (😁) I had a piece of coconut cream pie. Excellent place to stop!

A wonderful little diner in the heart of Elkton. Good food and great service. The only knock is the price. We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches, a side of potatoes, gravy w/1 Biscuit, and we both had sweet tea and coffee. Tab was $42 before gratuity 😳. Comparatively, the diner right down the road has essentially the same food (good too) but the same meal only costed right around 30 bucks

Mostly good experiences. Only been there at breakfast. I prefer strong coffee and for me, the coffee is always weak tasting and the breakfast potatoes are never browned and that's my preference as well. Food portions are great, very filling and the prices are good. Service depends on who you get. Despite being regulars, on our last visit, our server disappeared constantly as we waited patiently for our only coffee refill. Wanted to know what the pie selection was and finally flagged down someone else but when the waitress bothered to get close by, her only response was to yell rudely, "Ain't got none" as she disappeared yet again into the back. That one always looks seriously mad and we tip very well so no clue why. There was only one other table. I've worked restaurants most of my life so her attitude is unacceptable. The other server is always smiling and friendly.

It's small and always busy but, I've never had to wait for a seat. The people are kind and humorous. The signs on the wall indicate their attitude. Everything my friends and I have had has been perfect! The definition of home cooking. ❤️

We have been going to Elkton’s Grub and Gab Diner for 2 years now. Found this place last year heard about it from a staff at the Blue Elk Coffee Shop which is around the corner from them. Whenever we are visiting Massenutten we try to make it in for breakfast. The food is delicious and the staff are very nice and attentive. Seems like a very popular place for the locals it’s a small town. This time we went to the diner it felt like eyes were on us from some of the locals kinda made us feel uncomfortable. Once again the staff is friendly and food is good.

After browsing through several online reviews of various local diners in the Elkton to Harrisonburg area, we opted to give Elkton's 'Grub & Gab Diner' a visit. This decision resulted in a wonderful dining experience. The 'Grub & Gab Diner' gives you a small hometown vibe where everybody knows everybody from the moment you enter the quaint little diner with seating for approximately 30-35 customers (estimated). We were promptly greeted and told to have a seat wherever we'd like and almost immediately approached for our drink order. Although I was disappointed to learn they serve pepsi products, I opted for the unsweetened tea which was made in house and very good. I also ordered the Dilly Burger with french fries, which were made to order. As you can see in the photos, I received a generous portion of crinkle cut fries to accompany the delicious Dilly Burger. The pepper jack cheese, cayenne pepper, & jalapeno peppers give this burger a bit of a kick while managing to not overpower the flavor of the beef and other toppings. It was simply an unexpected delight and while I really wanted another, after finishing it and the fries I knew I didn't have room for a second burger. However I did order a slice of Coconut Pie which was a nice way to wrap up this meal. I wish there was a clone of Elkton's 'Grub & Gab Diner' in my hometown because I would be a regular customer. You should give them a try if you find yourself nearby.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COST! This place is a tiny little hole in the wall diner whose owner must be the cook with a HUGE terrible attitude if you, the customer, don't like something. That's not the way to run a diner. I ordered a BOWL of grits ($3.50) with CHEDDAR cheese. They delivered a small bowl (the size used for condiments and side dishes) of grits. I specifically had a conversation with the server to ensure the cheese would be cheddar and she assured me it would. They served a shredded MIXED cheese of cheddar and who knows what white cheese. I had already stirred in the cheese before taking the picture, but you can clearly see some white cheese on the spoon handle. I decided to inquire about the cheese and small bowl size and that's when it all hit the fan. I asked the server to take it back and remove it from my order. She said "I can't take it back." When I told her that I would not pay for it, she went to the cook and said, "Mama, she said she's not going to pay for the grits." Next thing I know, a woman (the cook) comes from behind, swoops by the table, snatches up the grits AND MY WATER! and keeps briskly walking to the other end of the restaurant. On her way back, I confronted her about taking my water and all hell broke loose with her lecturing me. When I told her she didn't need to have such an attitude, her response was that I had an attitude from the moment I walked in! Then she just continued to loudly fuss at me. I was done being berated and treated like dirt. I left. BUT, one of the points she made sure to state, was that tax was included in the prices already on their menu. Then, when the other person who was dining with me left, his order was $10.75 on the menu, was supposed to include the coffee and taxes. They charged him $13.00! Whatever. Not only was his food "just okay", not up to "good" even, they yell at their customers and then overcharge them terribly. Lastly, their menu items are deceiving as well. They are selling orange juice for $2 a cup and it turns out it is SunnyD (less than 5% real juice). If you care about what goes into your body, this definitely isn't the place to go. Leave this place to the local yocals and find a real restaurant that actually cares about what they serve and how they treat the customer. CAN'T SAY YOU AREN'T WARNED. And, to respond to her reply below ... she is wrong. I'm usually very tolerant and happy with most things. She is trying to make herself look right and me look bad with those comments. Not surprised after the experience I just had. By the way, the hot chocolate, which was NOT supposed to be charged, since I didn't stay to drink it, was only $1.50 (same price as coffee ... that I asked to sub for). $10.75 +1.50 = $12.25. How is that $13? I'll leave it there. Like I said, can't say you aren't warned.
