A Modern Approach to a Traditional Favorite

A newcomer with all the nostalgia, we’re excited to welcome you back to Royal Restaurant. Guests can still enjoy the legacy of this centuries-old diner, now elevated with scratch-made home cooking and warm, friendly service—plus a fresh new look.

What’s new? In addition to our beloved breakfast and lunch options, we’re now offering dinner! Whether you’re starting your day with classics like Biscuits & Gravy or Buttermilk Pancakes, enjoying a leisurely lunch with dishes like Shrimp & Grits, or winding down with comforting dinner favorites like Pot Roast Stroganoff, there’s something for every taste and time of day.

Our outdoor patio is perfect for dining al fresco, and our full-service bar offers signature cocktails with rotating seasonal drinks and bites.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Royal Restaurant remains your neighborhood go-to for elevated comfort classics. Come experience the fresh updates any day of the week—what was once old is new again.
