In a virtually empty restaurant it shouldn't take 45 minutes to get lunch. There was hairs in my daughter's sandwich. The food wasn't good. The fries weren't even salted. Our server didn't seem to care and when my daughter said she didn't want a remake of her sandwich you could hear them say just throw that sh!t in the trash. Wouldn't recommend. This happened yesterday we arrived about 11:50 served after 12:45. read more

Love this place! I got the country cafe breakfast bowl and added sautéed onions. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the food came out. The service was great. Love the simply country vibes of this place. What a great find on my way through town! If I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely be back! 10/10 highly recommend! read more

I came to a nearby Inn for my birthday dinner last year, and I stayed in a quaint little Bnb in nearby Culpepper. The next day, I started my long journey back home, and it included a stop downtown for a nice breakfast. There were a few options, but overall, the Country Café looked like our best bet. So we parked in the very rustic and fun parking lot, and headed on in. Stepping into this place, there was an instant vibe of everyone in the room being regulars and had been going there for many years. There were pictures of people and newspaper clippings and all sorts of small town stuff all over the wall that I loved. It made me real homesick for my small hometown. So even though we were outsiders, I felt right at home, and our super friendly server helped us with amazing service was start to finish. Looking at the menu, it was small and simple, my favorite. Do a few things perfectly rather than many things poorly. Browsing the menu, I only ever had the one option, the Country Boy Breakfast (The way grandma fixed it! 3 eggs any style served with 2 bacon and 2 sausage, fried potatoes with gravy on top and a biscuit). Usually, normal breakfast items don't fill me up, but boy howdy this one did. Well-scrambled eggs, skin-on potatoes, a well-peppered gravy, and sausage And bacon. So good. I enjoyed this a lot. I also got to sample some sort of apple cobbler French toast. It's not on their regular menu, it was a special they had going, and it was also good! This was quantity and quality! I love the skinny toast French toast, because it's soaked and cooked all the way through. And they certainly gave us enough apples on top. A good breakfast dish. Overall, I am a huge fan of this place. I don't know if I will ever come back, but I can guarantee, if I ever Am near Culpepper again in the AM, I will be making a special effort to return. read more

Country Cafe & Catering is a small joint offering tasty breakfasts! I ordered 2 biscuits with sausage gravy, two eggs over easy, breakfast potatoes and two slices of bacon - plus coffee and water. The food came up fairly quickly. First off - a lot of places offer a sausage gravy over biscuits - BUT a lot of places do not manage to get the gravy to actually exude a sausage flavor. But Country Cafe did it - the gravy comes off with a distinct sausage flavor. The eggs were cooked properly, and the bacon was crispy and tasty. The breakfast potatoes were rather bland. Salt, black pepper, and hot sauce were deployed in the appropriate places across the meal. Service was good. I would eat here again. #CountryCafeAndCatering read more

Good ole fashioned diner/hole in the wall place to grab breakfast! Seated immediately and got coffee served to us right away. Coffee never went empty which is always a plus! For food we ordered the following: Country girl breakfast -very good and added a side of apples which were delicious. Eggs cooked according to preference and biscuit was nice! Country Boy breakfast- husband enjoyed all on the plate including the breakfast potatoes smothered in cheese and sausage gravy. I stole a piece of bacon and it was very good! Pancake-unfortunately the batter was off the day we visited and had a lemon aftertaste. Told our server and she took it off our check. It's not much to look at inside but service is fast and kind and the food is good breakfast food. read more

Pros: I love small down breakfast eateries. I know that everyone other than us in that building was a local and a regular. I also love a breakfast place that has daily or weekly specials that aren't on their regular menu. Service was super, exactly was you'd expect in the South. And the food was all delicious. Cons: I can't think of a con. This place is just good. They even had a meal that satisfied my boyfriend, and he has quite the appetite. Tips: I got a special, some apple French toast. And it was great. If they have anything like that when you go, get it! Great amount of gooey, delicious apples. read more

You can get breakfast until 2. The Mexican omelette was really good. Coffee was excellent.Friendly service and food comes hot. This is a little hole in the wall place. Not fine dining. But clean and good food. read more

The reviews did not lie. We wanted to finish our trip south with some authentic southern biscuits and gravy and the Country Cafe did not disappoint. It's a little, local place, complete with friendly faces and helpful staff. The sausage gravy was smooth, creamy and flavorful. The grits were absolutely delicious as well. They had decaf coffee which is always a plus for me. Yelp never lets me down! We were so excited to eat our breakfast that we did take any photos for this one. read more

I was told to try this cute little hike in the wall. I was not disappointed. I ordered the 2 eggs, fried oysters, potatoes, and toast! Everything was delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection. Very crispy. The potatoes added the perfect balance to the slightly salty oysters. The food was hot and fresh! Our waitress was amazing. She brought everything out with a smile. Overall, I would highly recommend! read more

Small little place that serves up some wonderful food. The service is great and everyone is so friendly. We stopped in for breakfast and ordered two eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes and a side of biscuits and gravy. The portions were very generous and the prices are really reasonable. The only downside is the parking but overall well worth giving them a try. read more

Date of visit: July 4, 2021 I hate to say this is a little hole in the wall" but it is! And it was so good!! We love to eat at local places and this is definitely local! Take the front steps at your own risk and over look the facade. The food was very good and so was the service. Hubby got the steak and eggs. The steak melted in your mouth and the flavors was on point! read more

The food is excellent and the prices are good . The food comes fast and hot . Just don't go there wearing a uniform for a company they don't like or they will talk bad about where you work to the whole restaurant while you stand there. I was got be a regular but I'm not going back . It's always nice to tip a 100% gratuity every time but then have someone actively trash talk your livelihood to everyone. read more

Been here twice. First time was lovely - decent service and delicious food. Second time? Horrible. Went on a Sunday morning. Service was less than mediocre, coffee was watery, and the food was mostly just disgusting. Based on our previous positive experience, I was so excited to try their crab cake for breakfast. It was quite literally fish slop - mushy, gray, and under-seasoned with no crispiness. It was so gross I barely finished that one bite. My husband ordered a "ribeye" that looked like a scrap from a dog treat and tasted foul. Neither of us finished our meats. Despite the food being leftover on our plates and our disappointment, not a single person in the place picked up our cues, or at least they did but refused to acknowledge the situation. Additionally, a different couple who came in a while after us got seated at a booth we had been previously asked to move away from...no big deal, I thought, until we saw that they also somehow got their food before us. Anyway. This place seems to be a hit-or-miss depending on who is cooking and certainly caters to the local clientele. On a positive note, for being such a tiny place, it feels reasonably clean. We're so disappointed that this last visit was a poor experience because we enjoyed it the first time. read more

I brought my wife here to celebrate her birthday. It was our first time here and we were very impressed. They were busy, but the service was quick, professional, and the food was excellent. We will definitely come back. Truly a "little gem" in the heart of Culpeper! read more

I've been back 3-4 times lately for breakfast on weekdays and have had some really nice meals. Bacon perfect, eggs served hot. They Will fry oysters and serve them with eggs if you like although they don't always have them. I like to splurge for a treat sometimes. read more

Country Cafe & Catering - Special today. Biscuit and gravy, eggs and some taters. - Southern Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

Not great, eggs seemed nice and fresh but biscuits were subpar and potatoes were awful.

The food here was decent, however the sausage was dry both in my patty and my wife's omelet. The service was great and very friendly. The ambiance was rustic but clean. It was an ok place for breakfast. read more

I enjoy a cozy-feeling breakfast joint, and they had yummy biscuits and sausage gravy. Sitting by the door is uncomfortably cold in winter, as other posters had mentioned. Love how down-to-earth and kind the staff is. Such a simple, economical and uncomplicated place to eat breakfast! read more

Incredible food and service. The food came out lighting fast and was hella delicious. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful country breakfast. Had scrapple, two eggs, home fries, toast and coffee. All was done perfectly. Will definitely return.

Stopped in here as the reviews looked a bit better than most breakfast places in Culpeper that were open early. Brought my in laws with us since they were on their trip back home and needed some food. I'm a little disappointed as yes, it's a small place, but, the service could be on point. The vibe I picked up is that unless you are a local and a regular, you get mediocre service. I was not impressed with the food. It was bland. "Fried" potatoes had no flavor, no seasoning, eggs were blah, and bacon....tasted extremely old and not fresh. I would not stop here again unless we would really need to. read more

Country Cafe & Catering - the front of the building - Southern Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

It really doesn't look like much inside or out but the food was pretty good, served quickly, the prices were reasonable and the wait staff was friendly and competent! Only negative was that when people come and go through the front door, there's a blast of outside air that comes in-since it's freezing outside now and the place is popular, we had a cold blast of air every few minutes while eating. read more

I've been going to Country Cafe since 2006. They treat you like family and have the best SOS. When Sherry was there she would let my oldest daughter work while she was waiting for her food. Putting clean silverware and napkins on the tables, wiping down tables and chairs, etc. She would also pay her in candy and gave my son candy because he was cute. If you're looking for a friendly place to go after church or on a lazy Saturday morning, this is it! read more

Neat little cafe we decided to try out after driving past it a few times. The servings are large and you get a lot for your money! We've been there twice for breakfast and once for lunch. My first visit I had the French Toast with Bacon. The French Toast was yummy! If I recall correctly, I wasn't crazy about the bacon. My husband had the scrapple, eggs, and home fries. He said it was really good. For lunch, I had the BBQ Lunch Special for $6.00. I ordered the Pork with Onion Rings...out came TWO pork sandwiches! AMAZING lunch deal and the food was good! Staff was very friendly...we'll be back! read more

I give this place 5 stars because I love their breakfast and their style. This place is a good spot for traditional country breakfast with a dinner style menu. The parking is very limited and so is the seating, but that's all apart of the ambiance. Every time I eat here I feel like I've stepped back in time. read more

Loved the cafe & service. Great prices and good amount of food. Definitely worth trying and coming back

Visiting the area and stumbled on this little jewel. Great breakfasts, friendly service and great prices. You need to give it a try. Only concern is limited parking, but worth it. read more

Staff was friendly but not in a hurry, food came out quickly. Hubby said his club sandwich was really good. Thick cut ham and lots of bacon, tomato and lettuce on toast, although it was wheat, not the white he asked for. My Philly Cheesesteak was basically meat on a hogue bun; very little onion or cheese, and no peppers. Meat was tender and tasty tho. The Kringle cut fries were barely cooked, so soft, not crispy. Limited choice of canned drinks or tea. I think they are more versed in breakfast, as that's what most of locals ordered. They seemed to have a lunch special, but you had to ask about it(which we didn't know to do). I gave it 4 stars, but it was really 3 1/2. read more

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. I visited for Sunday brunch and was thoroughly impressed with the food. It was perhaps some of the best brunch food I've ever had. The restaurant is very quaint. The staff were all friendly. The prices were incredible, especially given how delicious the food is. I got 2 pancakes (1 was probably enough), friend potatoes; and scrambled eggs. Every piece of my food was fresh and tasty. I definitely will return any time I'm in this area and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in some delicious brunch! read more

Service is great. People attending are very courteous and polite. The food has a great taste. I had the western omelet and gravy with biscuits and cold tea. The food came out quickly and again it tasted how a cooked home breakfast should taste. read more

Diners. I love diners. In fact, I might love diners more than I love freshly baked black and white cookies, and that's saying something. More than diners, I love LOCAL diners. Places where real people go to have breakfast (by far my favorite meal of the day), meet their friends, and partake of traditional American breakfasts built around eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, and the like. But enough about me. Here I sit in the Country Cafe and Catering in Culpeper. I've just wolfed down a delicious mushroom and onion omelette and gotten on the outside of about a gallon of freshly brewed iced tea. The restaurant checks all the boxes: It's comfortable without any pretense. The staff are cheerful, friendly, genuine and warm. The clientele are polite and affable. The restrooms are clean, and the food is good. Very good. And eminently fairly priced. And, did I mention that the food is very good? But back to me. And food. And the Country Cafe and Catering. (Because, really, the three are existing in kind of a state of quantum entanglement right about now...) I have two, um, idiosyncratic breakfast predilections: One, I love feta cheese in my omelettes (and in just about everything else), and my favorite breakfast side is sweet potato fries. (Yes, I know that's heresy to all you dyed-in-the-wool hash brown and home fry fanatics, but what can I say? I'm an iconoclast.) Unfortunately, feta and sweet potato fries are not regular menu items here. On a whim, I asked the server if, should I show up in tomorrow morning with a block of feta and a bag of sweet potato fries, they'd add them to my omelette. Not only was the response positive and friendly, but I was introduced to the cook (who was, unsurprisingly, affable, friendly, and positive - are you sensing a theme about this place, dear reader?), who enthusiastically agreed (a) to add the feta and sweet potato fries to tomorrow's breakfast and (b) that said elements were a fantastic addition to almost any meal. I'll be back tomorrow, and you should be as well! If you're in Culpeper and in search of good food, good people, and a good atmosphere, look no further! read more
