    Royal Restaurant is a staple for Alexandria and it's easy to see why. Great, creative food, awesome service and a cool vibe. Plus, they have a late-ish kitchen. Just go. You won't be disappointed.

    I’m so glad I chose Royal Restaurant for my birthday breakfast! The manager and staff were excellent and the food was just what my family and I needed to start our weekend off right! I will be back.

    This place is close to our home so we have hopes for it. Tasty cocktails and excellent fries with our sandwiches. $5 beer is a winner. Need more vegetarian options. Maybe a veggie burger?

    The food was very good! We ordered a good number of the appetizers for the table. The burnt end empanadas and lemon-garlic wings were to die for! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their entrees. The shrimp & grits were a hit, the brisket hash and the chicken & waffles too! Definitely recommend

    The food was delicious and the service was great. We were greeted and immediately seated when we arrived. Our wait person was friendly and professional and made our experience enjoyable. I'll definitely return and tell my family and friends about the Royal Restaurant.
