Francesco's Bridgewater

I appreciated the homemade aspect but the food wasn’t seasoned and wasn’t good. Our waitress was great and love the family feel but other than the huge portions it’s a no for us.

The menu here is vast. We enjoyed the pasta and chicken parm. The spaghetti sauce was a sweet sauce. The service was exceptional. I love that they had Bluestone wines as we just finished doing a wine tasting there.

We went for Sunday brunch. Most of our party got the buffet. So, once the waiter finally took our orders we were able to eat. The brunch buffet isn't huge but it is sufficient and everything tastes good. It consists of breakfast food, pizza, and salad. It wasn't very crowded when we started eating around 11:15 AM but was filling up by the time we left. Our waiter was overwhelmed and not friendly. All he had to do was a few refills (most of us got water so he gave us a pitcher), pick up plates, and bring out one order from the menu. The person who ordered off the menu waited so long for his food that he decided to just get something off the buffet and take his order to go. This was definitely the worst service I've had at Francesco's. I'm sure they are understaffed, but it was really bad. T

Stopped in for lunch and had an amazing time!! Sharon was so kind and personable and gave us great recommendations for what to enjoy for lunch! The steak and cheese was the best my husband has ever had. We will definitely be back!

I enjoyed the food, service and environment. A good country drive from 81 near JMU or other area attractions, but we'll with the trip. Hank made the experience that much better.
