Paul and his team did a PHENOMENAL job on our wedding in September 2021! Everyone absolutely raved about our food for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. The beef tenderloin was so tender you could cut it with a spoon! My dad loved it so much he asked for a whole plate.
We couldn’t be happier with the Real Food team and I will definitely be using them for any future events I hold!! An incredible hidden gem that I was so fortunate to find!!! #realfoodrocks
Absolutely amazing. Just passing through town we saw it and were intrigued immediately. Only open from 11-2 it's certainly worth the stop. Inside is small, cozy, and inviting. The owners were joyful and helpful, very involved in the community and their restaurant. Their limited menu is nothing to be intimidated by because the few items they offer are out of this world. Simple, fresh, and homemade are words best used to describe my sandwich and cookie experience. Both were not too much and left me feeling full but not sluggish. We aren't from around Orange but we were not disappointed and certainly will be coming back.
They use fresh, local ingredients and the menu variety each week is amazing. My favorite sandwich I ever had in my life was the strawberry, goat cheese, with honey on a baguette they had several months ago. I couldn't recommend this place more!
Really fresh, local ingredients. Had the brocoly soup and roast beef sandwich. A+
Paul just catered my daughters outdoor wedding for 50 people at our our home and it was fabulous! We received so many compliments on the food and the professionalism and efficiency of the 4 Real Food wait staff supporting our event. Mitch was my staff lead and was highly experienced and loved by all. From food service to champagne toast to cake cutting and to clean up - all ran smoothly. No stress for me. Paul assisted with menu planning and delivered high end results. I would highly recommend Real Food for a special any event. Ive also had the the week day soup and sandwich lunch available at their location and that also did not disappoint. Real Food is a gem in Orange Virginia!
We stayed in Orange for a week not far from Real Food, in the time of COVID-19, so no dining in. We ordered the PASTITSIO, which was awesome and the best meal we had in Orange. The bechamel sauce sent raptures down my girlfriend's spine. Her appreciation of top-end food is far superior to mine. We also loved the tahini green beans. We had left two messages the day before about our order, but didn't get a confirmation until late in the evening (9:30pm is my memory), but it was worth the uncertainty. We definitely want to try more of their stuff.
This place is a treasurer for being in such a small town. They have a rotating menu every week which can be found on their website and it's always completely unique food. Rarely do you see the same sandwich on there twice and they have a simple menu of cold sandwiches and salads. I would highly recommend this restaurant to any of my friends.
Very good food! So fresh and well prepared. The people there are very congenial & warm. I definitely recommend going there, it's open for lunch only; 11:00-2:00.
Good cookies ;-)
