    We stopped into Grill 309 on a Wednesday night and downtown Culpeper was busy. We circled the block and found close free parking on a side street next to Grill 309. The interior gives upscale sports bar vibes. We chose a high top table toward the back of the restaurant. Our server ended up being the bartender too. They had $5 margaritas that night so I ordered one and we started with an order of their pierogies. There were four and they were served over a smear of their beer cheese. There were ok. I wanted more seasoning in the filling itself. It was pretty bland. For my entree I got their hot dog with chili and cheese with their housemade chips. I was pleasantly surprised to see a cheese sauce on the dog. It was pretty good. Some of the chips were pretty overcooked. The service brought this score down. I think the bartender was busy but plenty of servers were available. There was a lot of conversation at the bar. We probably should have just sat there. We missed out on drink refills, having our order taken promptly, and getting the check when we were ready to leave. Overall there were a lot of interesting things on the menu. I would want to return to see what else tasted good.

    Good food, service and atmosphere. Several food menu pages and drink specials so something for everyone.

    See my two small squares of fish. Can you see them?

    I came back today with my family. I had a good time but lunch missed the mark. The Artichoke dip was shocking when it came out. It was a cup of artichokes with some type of goo and sour cream, and red onions. I wasn't a fan. I dont understand this whole Pita chip fascination in Culpeper either. I dont like it. I ordered fish taco with pepper jack cheese, guacamole and coleslaw. I didnt know that the pepper jack would come pre-melted, onto my corn tortilla and the Guacamole and coleslaw also on the taco.. Thought guacamole and coleslaw would be side separate on the plate. Including the two small peices of mushy fish, everything was one note. No texture at all. This time around the French fries were good. My Kids dad got boneless wings. They look like they came off the kids menu. Staff was still as nice as last time.

    After visiting the cider lab in summer duck, we needed to grab a late lunch somewhere. We never visit the cute town of Culpepper and ultimately decided to visit Grill 309 based off of recent reviews. We were immediately greeted and told to sit wherever we like. We chose our seat, we were brought waters, but waited a little bit longer than we would have liked for someone to come and take our order. We were starving as we had not eaten breakfast yet. We decided on the Spinach and Artichoke dip for an appetizer, the Steak Wrap, and Build your own Burger. The spinach and artichoke dip tasted decent but wasn't as creamy and flavorful as I would have hoped it would be. However, I did love the fried pita chips they served it with. To be honest... I would eat those just by themselves. My boyfriend thought the steak wrap was delicious. There was a favorable about of steak, had great flavor, and the crunch of the green veggies they put in the wrap was a nice addition. My burger was tasty. I did have to send back my bun due to something being stuck to it but they immediately addressed the issue and compensated me by taking off the one IPA I ordered. The house made French fries stole the show! They are cut and made in house and were amazing. Overall we enjoyed the local environment and appreciated the highlights of the meal.

    Ruben, Cesar truffle wrap, sweet potato fries!

    Sandwiches and wraps were delicious! Sweet potato fries with sweet dipping sauce on the side were the star of the show!

    Pierogies, OK, but a little bit dry

    During a recent business sojourn, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, where we embarked on a culinary exploration of their diverse offerings. Before I go any farther, order the apple crumb cake right now and enjoy it! So dang good! The bruschetta, while conceptually sound, arrived somewhat compromised--the bread having surrendered its structural integrity to moisture. A pity, truly. The onion rings, however, were nothing short of magnificent--golden, crisp, and executed with a precision that would make any Southern kitchen proud. The pierogies presented an interesting dichotomy: admirable in flavor yet notably parched, wanting for the velvety embrace of sour cream or a delicate butter sauce - the beer cheese was not the right combination. My grilled cheese cheeseburger delivered an intriguing marriage of comfort food classics. The flavors harmonized beautifully, though I must note the bread-to-meat ratio was rather heavy-handed--an architectural imbalance that somewhat diminished an otherwise inspired creation. My dear wife's Italian sub featured quality ingredients, though the cured meats carried a salinity that, shall we say, announced its presence with rather too much enthusiasm. I daresay the apple crumb cake transcended mere dessert to become something of a revelatory experience. A perfect 10, without question. The delicate interplay of warm spices, cinnamon and buttery crumb achieved that rare balance of sophistication and comfort that defines the finest Southern baking traditions. My compliments to the pastry chef--this creation alone would merit a return visit. To those about to nosh, I salute you!!

    Bacon cheeseburger with no bacon and a sad order of brava potatoes.

    Here's a huge pet peeve of mine. When I order food for take out and I'm in the building doing it. I truly expect the establishment to check that my order is correct. Especially if there are hardly any customers. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger but there was no bacon. And wanted the brava potatoes but seriously look at the small amount, I mean come on they're potatoes. The chicken wings my partner ordered also tasted weird definitely not good and that for $30. It's disappointing!

    The food was very fresh and was served out quickly. We sat outside on the patio, it was shaded with an umbrella and trees - very cool ambiance. They were busy for a Saturday lunch, lost track of an order - took it off our bill & made it fresh to go.

    I don't often put up reviews but this place is great! The fish tacos were awesome and the fish and chips perfect.

Entrees: daughter-bacon cheeseburger w/fries. Her dad- 1 lb of Cajun Shrimp. Me. Southwest Salad with a big Salmon added for extra $10. It was worth it and we all agreed, I scored the best dish at the table. It was delicious! (Said everyone). The waitresses were very attentive. So much so, we had 3 different waitresses asking for our order once already ordered. 3 waitresses asking do we need anything else. 3 waitresses asking if we're good. After we paid, another waitress came over and asked us if we were ready to pay. We dismissed the confusion and waved off all the drama but really, though, every waitress who addressed us everytime, was a Lot, all of those women, everytime, had smiles on their faces and were happy that we were good to go. We did enjoy our time there. Food was great.

The pickled(?) carrots were a great touch! I had a bowl of the chicken tortilla soup of the day along with the Caesar salad. I loved the salad's bread crumbs. I'm pretty sure they were made from rosemary bread, and that crunch was amazing! My mom got the Reuben special and said it was delicious, too. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for a great lunch around town. Can't wait to go back for dinner soon.

We were greeted by a gentleman who brought waters for us and then took our orders. I ordered the Voldemort sandwich and my husband ordered the Potter wrap as well as the BlackBerry lemonade. Both sandwiches came with fries. The sandwiches were good but my husbands wrap was very small and mine was light on meat. The fries were nice and crispy and the blackberry lemonade was delicious. There was light rock music playing softly, ambiance was nice. All in all a good experience aside from the smell which was giving my husband a headache. I would probably return for dinner one night. I was trying to decide between giving this place 3 and 4 stars and opted on 4 because it's new (they have food trucks but the brick and mortar is new) and they're still getting things right and the fact that we came for lunch instead of dinner so the menu was very limited and I felt like maybe I wasn't getting the full experience.
