If you’re cruising through Front Royal, Virginia, and your appetite craves something seriously satisfying, Spelunker’s Burgers & Frozen Custard is the hidden gem you need to know about. I walked in expecting your usual burger joint — and walked out daydreaming about their Cavern Burger.
Let’s start with the fresh ground burgers. Spelunker’s doesn’t mess around here — these are juicy, flavorful, made-to-order patties that put fast food to shame. The Cavern Burger is the star: simple, classic, ridiculously good. Feeling indulgent? The Bacon Cavern Burger adds crispy, smoky goodness that takes things up a notch. Want more meat? The Double Cavern Burger is a beast, while the Junior Cavern satisfies smaller cravings.
Surprisingly, their subs are just as memorable — the Cheesesteak is rich, gooey, and packed with savory bite. The Chicken Philly hits a lighter note without losing flavor, and vegetarians will appreciate the hearty Veggie Sub.
Craving comfort food? Their Chicken Sandwich is crispy and golden, while the Homemade Chicken Strips are exactly that — fresh, crunchy, and served hot. Even their Hot Dog hits all the nostalgic notes.
For sides, French Fries are crispy perfection and Onion Rings come thick-cut and satisfyingly crunchy. Little ones have their own lineup: Kid’s Burger Meal, Hot Dog Meal, Grilled Cheese, and Chicken Strip Meal — all kid-approved.
Wash it down with a classic Coke, Sprite, or even a Barg’s Root Beer, but whatever you do, save room for dessert. Their Frozen Custard is legendary — rich, creamy, and dreamy whether you go for vanilla, chocolate, or flavor of the day. Don’t skip the Shakes, Malts, or Sundaes, and if you’re smart, grab a Take-Home Pint or Quart.
Spelunker’s menu is a crave-worthy adventure — trust me, once is never enough.
