ben and mary's steak house

Route/US 17

Warrenton, VA

 

This is where the locals went to get a good steak, for years. Decades. Sadly, it closed down several years ago.

 

Writes Todd Middleton in FauquierNow, back in 2013:

"What's missing in the Warrenton area is a talented, motivated, passionate chef and owner. Someone with a creative, fresh approve (sic) to the food service industry. Where it's missing is the location: 6806 James Madison Highway, Warrenton, Va.

Ben and Mary's Steakhouse in days past was not only a larger than life landmark, but the owners provided great food, even better service and consistency in their product. It's where everyone went to get a great steak and a good drink for a family night out.

That type of restaurant never goes out of style and will thrive even in poor economic times. I hope someone out there is reading and listening to this and accepts the challenge of opening a real restaurant in a great location. In the mean time, I'll fire up my backyard grill to cook my own steaks . . . and wait."

 

I'm not positive, but all these years later, I think the former Ben & Mary's is still sitting empty.
