About

The Stalactite Cafe at Luray Caverns is widely viewed as a overpriced tourist trap. Most reviews are negative, focusing on the poor quality of the food—often described as microwaved or canned—and the high prices. While some visitors appreciate the convenience after a cavern tour, the general consensus is that it is better to bring a picnic or eat elsewhere in town. Service is occasionally praised, but it cannot overcome the dissatisfaction with the food.
