Texas Inn: Your Corner Diner

We have new downtown neighbors! We're excited to share a wall with Harrisonburg's recently opened downtown diner: the Texas Inn! There's everything you'd expect an old fashioned diner to offer: red bar stools, friendly and knowledgeable staff, all day breakfast and lunch (and we mean all day - they're open until midnight during the week and 2am on the weekend), reasonable prices (many of their menu items start with $3, $4, and $5), and an unbeatable location. They even have the convenience of a walk-up window for to-go orders! Learn more about this new corner diner!

Special thanks to owner Katharine Corgan for answering our questions and introducing us to this new gem!
