This is the BEST place to eat in Harrisonburg, VA. The Lemon Poppy Seed pancakes were out of this world delicious, add the homemade jam and the homemade maple syrup!!!! The vegan sausage and seasonal veggies!!!!
If you like vegan food or never tried vegan food before this is the place. It's great!!
I love this local resturant and can remember about 12 years ago when it was owned by Ron Copeland and was a soup kitchen on Mondays who now owns Our Community Place where there are activities, a church service on Sunday, and meals free of charge for the whole community on the days it is open.
Food is pretty good. Kind of pricey for breakfast, but very delicious!
Fantastic breakfast with fresh, local ingredients. Wonderful service too!!
The Little Grill Collective has a small diner type vibe. The staff as well as the customers are all very friendly people; and the food is delicious. I'll definitely be visiting again, very soon!
The food is great. The service is slow and not good. I had to wait 5 minuets to get butter and syrup for my pancakes. Coffee and water refills took forever. They were not busy at the time. Just slow
My breakfast of eggs and home fries was way overcooked. No one checked on us until we were ready to leave and then it was like, well, sorry. My husband liked his omelet. The orange juice is fresh squeezed.
One of my favorites ginger lemonade. Great place to eat.
Best breakfast you ll find anywhere remotely close to the LGC. Awesome breakfast burrito and friendly staff. It definitely has a hipster atmosphere but has welcoming and nice vibes. The next time I m in the area, I will be back.
I had one of the best breakfasts I ve ever had in my entire life here. The staff is SO friendly and they were big help even though the place was packed. Little Grill Collective is everything I want in a restaurant. I want to eat here every day. This is just after a first impression. Keep it up guys!
such a rad little place, super cool vibes and delicious food !!
Incredible food, awesome service, must have in Harrisonburg
Expensive for a burrito filled with tofu and beans, but it was tasty.
Like a diner but with more community and better coffee. The prices here are ridiculous for how good the food is (and that's a good thing). Get friendly and get comfortable, two things that never cease to occur here. Social diets: gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy free.
We love going to this little place. Has a fun, energetic vibe! Also has more veggie and vegan options than most cafes in Harrisonburg. Unfortunately, I can no longer take the vegan breakfast foods they serve. However their Mexican food is great and can be made vegan.
I just wish this co-op included someone with a little more knowledge of how to prepare delicious, HEALTHY food. If you go here for breakfast, be prepared for eating some heavy, high-fat food and virtually no fruit or veggies to help offset all that fat.
For vegans, their tofu "scramble" is flavorful, but it is really cubed tofu that has been heavily seasoned and fried. Nothing like the moist, lightly sauteed tofu scramble recipes I make at home that have lots of healthy chopped veggies mixed in. What wouldn't I give to be served a breakfast like that!
Their side of soysage is a heavy, sticky patty that tastes too much like mushed up turkey dressing. Even the way they served my Everything Bagel today was way too heavy! It was brushed with butter or Earth Balance and then flattened and cooked on the grill - far too long. This was first time I've ever had a grilled bagel! Very disappointing.
This is really just how they like their food, though, so I did not complain. All their vegan breakfast foods disappoint me bc they leave me feeling fat and heavy after I eat them. Really need some fruit to lighten them up!
I had their buckwheat pancakes the other day, and they were way too thick ( 3/4") and really heavy and pasty. No amount of Earth Balance or real maple syrup could help them go down easily. Just sticks to the mouth. Ugh!
They are very vegan-friendly at TLG, so my hubby and I will continue eating here, just not for breakfast! Instead, we'll go when they are serving authentic Mexican food, which can be made vegan for us. Used to be served just once a week. Not sure now, but hope more often. THAT food was truly delicious!
Love the food atmosphere is amazing I ordered the groovy gravy and biscuits spectacular prices are fair we'll definitely go over and over again
Favorite place in Harrisonburg and one of the few places where I don't have to look at the menu to see what I CAN have but to get to pick what I WANT to have, so many vegetarian options! I can even get a reuben or biscuits & gravy, both are delicious btw ;-) Love how dedicated they are to fresh and local ingredients as well, it definitely shows in the quality of the food. Love you guys
Great for breakfast, I loved their pancakes. Local ingredients, rich flavors, with a laid back atmosphere.
Awesome place for breakfast! Omelette and breakfast burrito were delicious. Coffee was great, service was prompt and friendly. Locally sourced food with veggie options but also real eggs and breakfast meat available. Doesn't look like much from the outside but comfortable inside. Hope we can come back soon.
Delicious breakfast. Great vegetarian options. The eggs and much of the produce is local. Great atmosphere!
This restaurant used to be one of my favorite places for breakfast. The past few times though, the service has been atrocious and the food is not even better than a national chain. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.
Absolutely amazing restaurant tucked away on an unassuming street in town. Potato boat blew my mind - so it's definitely recommended. Basically all ingredients are sourced locally and when the cooks put em' all together, life is made.
Everyone was very nice and welcoming the food was excellent and our server/waiter Tyler was very nice, helpful and just a overall nice person. He knew his menu and gave great suggestions. I defiantly recommend this place for everyone and try something new too!
One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Worker-owned, excellent food! This place knows what works and what to keep. No complaints in 20 years of going here.
Great food in a fun and energetic setting. This is my favorite breakfast or brunch in The Burg (or, maybe, anywhere).
We really enjoy unique eateries like this. Good food and service.
This is a cozy little place with fresh food and friendly staff! The looks from the outside do NO justice. Go inside and have the breakfast burrito!
Awesome place. Good veggie options for breakfast. Supposedly employee owned whatever that actually means.
This place is a little gem! Was passing through on my way home to NC from Philly and Harrisonburg was the halfway point. I am vegan and I am so glad this place came up when I searched for vegan restaurants. Don't judge this book by it's cover. The food here is hands down the best I had my whole trip...including the "vegan greats" in Philly. I had the Lambert's way breakfast platter. It came with soysage, scrambled tofu, home fries and groovy gravy, plus a side. I got the vegan chili. And don't leave without grabbing a vegan oatmeal, chocolate chip cookie for the road . You won't regret it . Great prices and great food. I will be back! And the customer service was top notch!
Fantastic, tasty food at a good price. All locally sourced. Great service. A very down-to-earth, community feel.
A cute classic spot . We went here for an appearance / performance and enjoyed local poetry . Seating was limited but the crowd was large so it was a good night ,Filled with great people .
Delicious vegan friendly restaurant that also serves meat. It is a small but very popular place so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table.
Awesome food as always! Great local restaurant that serves fresh and locally sourced food. Vegan and vegetarian items are staples.
We ate there the other day. This is the potato boat with a fried egg added and a side of groovy gravy to go on top. Delicious!
It's a place you must visit for the food, don't let the garage look fool you, there's a lot of charm there when you look around.
I can't begin to explain the amazing experience I had at the Little Collective. Everything was amazing! And the fact that the owner was out on the floor with her staff is just Awesome! Everything was fresh and local! So much so that I went to have breakfast multiple days the week I was in Harrisonburg. Definitely a recommended location.
Has a very nice list of vegan dishes. I had vegan sausage, biscuit, and scrambled tofu. It was pretty good but the scrambled tofu wasn't the best I had. The waitress was really kind, even with it being packed she still made time to ask us if we needed anything else.
I love the atmosphere in this place, and the breakfast grinder is the best sandwich on the planet. I love that it's employee owned and they use as many local ingredients as possible.
Quaint spot in a quirky location - worth the time and parking issues. The Hungry Mother bowl was amazing and yummy. Many other options on the menu that I will come back and try!
Ausome place and service . Best local food from produce . Loved it
Excellent place, excellent staff, excellent food, excellent price!
Had their sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit for Sunday brunch. Food and service was excellent. A great place for locally sourced food, as well as lots of healthy food options (vegetarian, gluten free, etc). Would definitely recommend!
Cute restaurant, mainly vegetarian with a few dishes for us carnivores. All locally sourced produce and drinks, very friendly staff and clean tables. Can't ask for a better brunch location.
I like this place - even if it is like being in a time warp.
A real gem. Great, attentive staff, even when the place is bustling. Very good food, satisfying, carefully prepared, good flavor. I loved this place.
Good food with a strong commitment to local ingredients.
Always fresh, always friendly. My favorite is breakfast, and I always get the Wheat Blue Monkey pancakes.
Great food. Great service. Breakfast burrito is my favorite choice.
A lovely locally owned venue. Their evening programs are great, too.
Great menu options for vegans to omnivores with a large % (almost 50) of locally sourced eggs, meat, grains, etc. Get there early since it fills up quickly, esp on the weekends
It's a cute hip looking place. Food was simple and decent considering the price.
Great breakfasts! Omelettes, 'cakes, real home fries. Good home cooking.
Cool little place. Great food and service! The potato boat had amazing flavors in every bite.
The blue monkey pancakes are truly wonderful. The rest of our experience was a bit of a let down. Slow service, waaaaaaaay over cooked potatoes, and a mushy biscuit that was about the size of a half dollar
This is the hidden gem of Harrisonburg! Been around since the dawn of time (kidding...maybe) and everyone who works there greets you with a smile! They are so accommodating to your dietary restrictions and the food is always delicious. Whenever someone is in town I always take them here to show them how amazing The Friendly City is!
This restaurant has been always been a favorite. The wait is always worth it - such a good breakfast!!
Very interesting little place. A breath of fresh air from the chains that dominate most towns. Terrific pancakes.
The embiance was mindful and grounding! I really enjoyed how everything was Soo fresh!!
Always has been one of my favorites. It was the first place I went to eat when I moved to town, and is the place I have enjoyed the most ever since. Excellent food, people, service.
Friendly and helpful service, old southern charm with a menu ranging from traditional to new age.
Approx 28 min wait which isn t really the big problem. The problem was the 35 mins it is taking to Make an omelet. I suppose I m the one at fault for not just going to grocery store, buying eggs and making one myself..
Delicious Vegetarian food...love the ginger lemonade. The Cinnamon French Toast is to die for!
Great pancakes. Great eggs and bacon all local farm to table...
I love this joint and whenever I have to make the drive down I-81, I time things so I am hungry and ready to eat by the time I get to Harrisonburg, home of this hippy-run gem. This time I got the tofu scramble, which is curry-licious. The portion was small, but it was inexpensive enough that I could have ordered two servings and still felt good about the cost of the meal. If locally-sourced restaurants are your thing, you gotta stop in.
Food was good. Waitress was pleasant and we didn't have to wait long. Menu was limited and quirky. Portion size was sufficient and waitress was pleasant.
Excellent food, excellent service. Somehow it keeps getting better without really changing that much.
Eclectic place off the beaten path! Best cinnamon French toast I've ever had! Great service! Super experience!
Great locally sourced food. Love the pancakes and omelets they are my favorite
Cozy, simple and tasty. Impressed by friendly service and healthy breakfast prepared from local ingredients. The pancakes are ginormous!
Its the best period. Everything is home-cooked and delicious. Plenty of Vegitarian options. Original menus items and awesome Mexi/Indian Nights!
Great little brunch spot. Great food & great service. We wanted to eat at a local spot and found this one in Harrisonburg.
What a wonderful breakfast find! I had lemon poppy pancakes made with fresh lemon juice and topped them with fresh blueberry preserves - delicious, different and so filling. I also had a fresh strawberry lemonade that was so tasty and refreshing that my husband had to order one for himself. Great service and food!
There is not better place in Harrisonburg to have a sit down breakfast. If you have not been here you are missing out
In life only death is certain! Try their ginger lemonade!
Best breakfast place in Harrisonburg hands down! I'm not vegetarian and I love the food. They have local bacon and eggs with blueberry buckwheat pancakes to die for. Ask for the veggie hash with an egg on top, delicious!
Good idea, disappointing execution from the brunch menu. Maybe lunch and dinner is better?
Great food, most of it local, and the staff is friendly.
