Stopped in to the 4C's for breakfast. After looking over the menu, I ordered the Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, with two eggs over easy, corned beef hash, and hash browns, plus coffee and water. Food came out in short order. The Sausage gravy was a white, almost flavorless gravy. You could see bits of sausage in the gravy, but it sure did not taste like anything. It was very underseasoned. I added salt, pepper, and hot sauce to impart some flavor to it. The eggs, corned beef hash, and hashbrowns were cooked properly. The corned beef hash is of the canned variety, but it was crisped up nicely. And the hash browns were crispy. I added a bit of salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns, and hot sauce on the corned beef hash. If I had not tried the Sausage gravy and biscuits - this would have been a 4 or 5 star review. My server asked me during checkout how everything was. I articulated my experience with the Sausage gravy. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #4CsRestaurant read more

This place is wonderful! The Peruvian food was better than anticipated, especially since we don't regularly eat Peruvian cuisine. Our server, Luis, was super polite. He even explained the name of 4c's, including his own take on the name! We look forward to returning to this immaculate, family owned restaurant & encourage everyone else to do the same! read more

I'll give this place another try.... and bring cash because they charge extra for using plastic. Great costumer service. Old school vibe. Looks like Mel's Diner inside. I ordered what was called a "specialty" but it was awful. Chicken was super dry and tasted like it was cooked a day or so before and reheated. Next time I'm ordering breakfast read more

Peruvian restaurant located in Culpepper, VA serving a variety of Peruvian dishes along with typical American cuisine. The restaurant also has a coffee bar featuring freshly ground and brewed coffee specialties. Our party ordered Peruvian dishes featuring chicken and beef which were perfectly prepared and a welcome change for our palates. After all that, one can visit their pastry section or indulge on ice cream from their ice cream box. The owners Louis and Marie are engaging and Louis took a goodly amount of time chatting with us about Peru, their culture, food and lifestyles of the people who live there. Overall this spot is an interesting adventure in learning about cultural food but a history lesson as well. The ambience is quiet, and decor no frills modern dining furniture. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try. read more

There are a lot of excellent menu options and competitive pricing! Our party tried a little of everything for breakfast (omelettes, eggs meat and bread, French toast, waffles) and enjoyed it all. We loved the variety of coffee flavor options! I had a delicious SF amaretto latte and my sister enjoyed the almond cappuccino. Service is so kind but a little slow if you're in a rush and need to consider that on a lunch hour or something. Will be back to try dinner! read more

Great breakfast selections. Large portions! Our coffee was always full and hot. We will have to try it for lunch

Very nice local Culpeper restaurant that serves down home food. Great breakfast, comfortable traditional setting. Loved the country ham and the grits that came with my two eggs over easy. Just the way I like it. read more

Great customer service..good food. Waitress was super friendly. Definitely recommend.

What totally amazes me is that I haven't reviewed this restaurant before - and have gone for a few years! Honestly don't know what 4C represents, but they do all meals. Breakfast 'ends' at 1100, but is available all day. Good assortment; I've had the country style and the normal bacon/eggs. Will try something new. As to lunch/dinner.... A good into to Peruvian cuisine. My (previous) favorite was a tuna fish cake cooked inside a fried potato cake. I can never remember the name . Today, I brought my daughter for lunch. She had chicken strips with fries. I tried some fries, just the way I like them. For my meal, I tried the seafood medley. I may have a new favorite . Shrimp, mussels, 1 scallop , done with a nice, light sauce. Wow. The style of the place is casual, many locals come for breakfast and coffee. There's also a coffee bar and an ice cream area. Makes sense as it's located across the street from the movie theatre. This is representative of the Culpeper food scene: mostly casual, small assortment of world cuisine (more coming - hoping for Korean). And all our food trucks . If you can't find something beyond fast-food, I can't help you . read more

We decided to come here for breakfast since they opened early. Service was very fast and friendly and the ambiance felt like a diner, loud but welcoming. One person in our group got the steak and eggs, another the wahoo breakfast with pancakes, bacon and eggs and the other got the chipped beef gravy and biscuits with a side of grits. Nothing was that great. The grits almost tasted like coconut milk and were bland. They had no butter, only spread (this right here was a bad sign, any restaurant that thinks margarine is butter is a huge NO in my book) the steak was fatty, the pancakes gritty, the chipped beef gravy had no flavor and resembled wall paper paste. We've never been here for dinner and I've heard their Peruvian chicken is good but based on this breakfast (a meal that is usually impossible to screw up) I'm not sure I'm up to trying this place again. Grill 309 and Flavor on Main are way better for breakfast. I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because they were friendly. read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant for breakfast and we were looking for a great experience based upon the reviews I read, however, I can only say it was fair. We ordered eggs easy over and we received them over HARD. My wife's was so bad she sent it back and she did get it back easy over. The coffee was lukewarm warm at best and the scrapple was only grilled on one side and could have been crispier. Other than that, the service was great and the ambience was ok. read more

This place doesn't look like much, but it's hard to beat the value for the price! The prices are low but the food is pretty decent. My dad got the Peruvian spaghetti (didn't know that was a thing) and it was great! I got the veggie omelette - it was just a standard omelette but I can't think of anywhere else that I can get a 3 egg omelette for $6. Patrick the waiter is great - very funny! read more

We love the food here. The service is quick. The servers are friendly. The prices are great!

Food was excellent and the service was top notch. Very attentive and polite. Lots of menu options and a fast kitchen.

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it is my new favorite breakfast place. The country fried steak was amazing and the crust was phenomenal. My husband had a chorizo breakfast fajita thing and he said it was very very good. I can't wait to go back and try other things on their menu and I even took pictures of the dinner menu so I could go back for dinner as well. The service was a little slow and confusing but the food more than made up for it. We will be back soon! read more

What can I say about this place: 1. Great food 2. Awesome service 3. Locally owned 4. Friendly for all ages 5. VALUE!!! read more

The service was great. The food was great. The price was fair. What else is there? Went for breakfast, but I have been for lunch and dinner too. No complaints at all. It's a diner feel without the fake old time diner polished metal everywhere look that charges more for no reason. read more

Really nice family owned restaurant. Great food, good portion size and very reasonable prices. Service was fast and friendly. My steak and eggs was prepared exactly the way I like it. A hearty 2- thumbs up! read more

I like this spot because it offers a friendly unpretentious environment at very affordable prices, but unfortunately the quality of the food is a hit or miss. I've had some disappointing meals there but as long as I stick with the French toast then I am satisfied. read more

Food is good. Sometimes service pretty slow, but I still return for breakfas. I went for dinner once and they heated my peruvian chicken I ordered in the microwave. Was not a fan of that. I just come for breakfast which is good. read more

This restaurant was amazing! I was higher than Snoop Dogg on a Monday morning a few hours before I came here. I then proceeded to order a nice plate of pancakes and boy was that bussin! The orange juice that I received was brilliant! This is the perfect place to drown yourself in the goodness of their pancakes and slip away from the depressing reality we live in. A well earned five stars! I would recommend this to everyone! read more

Quality food for a country diner feel. I had a chicken melt with sweet potato fries and it was fantastic. Super cheesy and filling. Order extra chipotle sauce for the fries!! You won't be disappointed. read more

My favorite part about this restaurant is that not only is it located in the heart of Culpeper but the food, service, and atmosphere combined reminds me of America's signature small town charm. It advertises as a Peruvian restaurant but also offers a wide variety of meals throughout the day. You can get a classic burger or sub here, even ice cream. However, the Peruvian soul is not lost as they offer rotisserie chickens paired with rice and salad or potatoes. The service above all else is nothing but warm and friendly. From the waiters and waitresses to the owners themselves, 4C's make a clear effort to make each customer feel welcomed and at home. read more

A little hidden treasure ! I stumbled here after yelping for "Peruvian chicken" and I was thrilled that I found this place! Not only are the staff friendly and helpful with the menu, but the food is delicious! The prices are very reasonable and this is my new spot to go to when I want Peruvian cuisine. They also have breakfast so I will be coming in for brunch sometime soon ! Overall great experience read more

Only reason not a 5 star is that they need more servers. Owners are great, very accommodating, food is very good with a wide variety of choices. They have Hershey ice cream also. One server for a restaurant this size doesn't work. Never got one of the things I ordered and way too long of a wait. read more

I went here for the first time today with my sister & parents. My parents come here every now & then, but it was my first time. I had a sweet tea with a steak & cheese sub. The tea was great & the glasses are a really good size. The sub was very good - I subbed fries for the chips it was supposed to come with. My mom's order came out wrong, but it was an easy fix (she asked for it plain, they put everything on it - she picked it off). They also forgot her fries, & it did take like 10 minutes, but they brought them out to her. For 4 of us, it was $36 for lunch. Not too shabby! read more

4C's must stand for Can't Cook Chicken Correctly. The food was horrible. Got a meal to go. When I opened the box at home the smell was horrible. The chicken smelled like fish. Took a few bites then right into the trash can it went. That was the first and last time I will go there. Another thing to mention is this is the only Peruvian chicken place I have been to that you can't see the chicken cooking. read more

Driving through this beautiful old school town of Culpepper Virginia we decided to stop for breakfast. This place had the right look and appeal of and old town diner. We walked in and the place was half full. It was moderately busy and had 3 waitresses and 2 waiters. No one seemed overwhelmed. Right from the start the experience was less than perfect. It took the waitress 10 minutes just to ask us what we wanted to drink, then an additional 10 minutes to take our order.( Keep track, we are up to 20 min just to order.) When my wife asked if the sausage gravy was made at the diner, her answer was "I have no idea". 10 more minutes pass, the waitress returns and asks me if I want a biscuit or toast. I was dumbfounded. Although we were in absolutely no rush, the clock was still ticking. So now at about the 40 min mark, the waitress returns with check in hand and asked if we wanted anything else. I said yes, how bout our food. She was oblivious! At that point I'm ready to walk out, but my wife reminds me we are in no rush. Another 15 minutes pass and our food starts to arrive. Of course the order is wrong. I am now totally frustrated with this place and just eat so we can get the heck out of there? We get the check and leave. This place is awful. The food is average at best and the sevice is terrible. I could understand if it were busy, but it was half empty and 5 servers. If I could give this a minus rating I would. read more

so me and a few friends had just got done rock climbing across the street and me and the boys popped in here because we were really thirsty, my friend was hungry so we ordered. i wanted a smoothie and our waiter was really rude about it, one of my other friends ordered a chocolate malt and it tasted horrible. some of the food is good, but i wouldn't recommend it. read more

Very friendly and accommodating to my needs. Luis, thank you for your patience today.

We stopped at the 4 C's Restaurant for breakfast, on our way back home after visiting Luray Caverns and Cooters. We were waited on right away. Our waitress brought our drinks out soon after, with a smile. There were locals in there having breakfast as well. The food was good, as well as the coffee. The prices are reasonable. Will return the next time we are in Culpepper. read more

I've been here several times for their top notch breakfast and will return for their diner style omelets French toast etc. however, I'd never tried their dinner menu until tonight. Wow! I've been missing out! Everything was fresh and home made. I'd never had Peruvian cooking but am completely hooked! If you haven't tried this gem for dinner you owe it to yourself to give it a chance. It won't disappoint! read more

I love this place so much. Came in today and remembered our usual orders. They had coffee at our table in less than a minute. Great food, friendly staff, and friendly atmosphere right in the heart of Culpeper. You hust can't beat it. read more

Stopped here for lunch. The Ruben was to die for. I recommend the yucca. Will be coming back again.

I frequent here often..and each time..the service is getting worse. I get the same thing every time. Today.. no coffee..no jelly and no service..no followup if I need anything. And there is only 6 people in here...so it's not busy... Guess what, no tip.. read more

We have only tried breakfast here, which is generally good. They do make a mean Greek Feta Omelette! My wife raves about their French Toast as well. Typical small town diner atmosphere. This place seems to attract a lot of the after church crowd on Sunday mornings. read more

I like coming here for breakfast on weekdays. Service is good when they aren't busy. But once they get busy then expect to wait or sometimes you will have to remind your waiter of what you need. read more

Love this restaurant! Great food - have never had a bad meal from here! People are friendly and great family owned, local business. Wonderful Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken and other Peruvian dishes. Full service American Diner food as well - anything from pasta to Burgers to a fabulous Reuben sandwich. Something for everyone and in a clean and airy atmosphere. Breakfast is a favorite at our office, but it is a treat no matter what time of day you are there. Carry out is available and always fresh! read more

Diner type setting with some Peruvian dishes. Some better than others. Good service, slow food. All in all, decent and interesting.

In summer be sure to ask Luis and Maria about the avocado and crab salad and get the flor de Jamaica drink or Chicha morada which is tasty, Peruvian and very good for your heart. Bon apetit read more
