We stopped into Grill 309 on a Wednesday night and downtown Culpeper was busy. We circled the block…read moreand 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.

My daughter and her dad, and I, ate an early dinner at Grass Rootes Saturday afternoon…read more We were seated quickly and with a smile. Appetizer: lamb lollipops (3), delicious. Very tender. 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.

My wife had the salmon salad, and I went with the Bonita springs chicken. They were both okay. Also had the crab dip for an appetizer. That was a bit greasy/oily, and not very good. The place was not very crowded, but boy to they keep the music playing loud. Too loud, in fact. Not a big fan of loud restaurants, where it's difficult to have a conversation in your booth.

You can taste the alcohol subtly, but not enough to make me gag. I'm not from the area so I wasn't aware, but the tax (sales + Culpeper County food & beverage) rate is 11.3% which is intense. Just an FYI if you're also not from the area and wondering why your bill is that high.

The place was busy but not packed and once they cleared the table our large party was sat quickly. The service was ok at best... our server was rather inattentive. We had to ask for silverware, plates, and napkins. We placed drink orders and an entree order as soon as we sat as one in the party hadn't eaten.... Fifteen mins later we put orders in for appetizer and everything was just slow. I'm just now posting this as it was stuck in my draft box from last year... maybe it's gotten better but who knows; we'll skip it if we're in the area again.
