    Chicken bacon ranch tacos
    Justin E.

    A cute little restaurant, nestled in the heart of downtown Culpeper. Stopped here on a whim on my way to an event and had a really nice time. We sat at the bar for a quick meal and the servers were all friendly and attentive. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch tacos based on a few other reviews and they were pretty good. The sweet potato fries were my favorite though. The drinks were well-priced and it had a decent enough bar vibe that we really enjoyed ourselves.

    Really tasty American food that goes a step above. Even the kids chicken tenders were hand breaded, seasoned to perfection, and delicious. The maple bourbon burger was bomb and the drink menu is extensive! Would definitely recommend. Staff is friendly and service is speedy.

    Got the chicken bacon ranch tacos with fries, which all was great! Service was quick and efficient. Atmosphere is pretty chill; suitable for individuals, families, couples, and friends.

    This place did NOT disappoint. We experienced an incredible welcome from the staff, and they were exceptionally accommodating to our child. Our server provided him with your standard placemat & crayons, and then a sheet of super hero stickers. She also really interacted with him every time she visited our table, something I truly appreciate. To start off, my wife ordered a margarita flight, economically priced at $12. She gave them two thumbs up. I ordered the Cajun Shrimp Pasta, which was rich, spicy, and overall phenomenal. My wife ordered a vegetarian style mushroom Cajun Shrimp Alfredo burger, which she had no complaints about, and our son got the chicken quesadilla from the children's menu. I don't know if we're just accustomed to kids menu food being haphazardly prepared and chucked onto a plate, but his quesadillas looked superb. Lastly, the atmosphere really echos the historic feel that the rest of this part of town exudes. We had no issue parking, and then quite enjoyed walking a short distance through the historic district of Culpeper - and you won't regret it either.

    Chicken Nachos

    Decided to try Sweet Roux during an overnight stop in Culpepper, we could not have been happier with our choice. The restaurant is located in a vibrant downtown Culpepper district. Shops all seemed to close around 5:00pm, but wow what a cornucopia of choices. Roux offers great drink specials, Guinness as well as a great Irish coffee. After the waitress brought waters and our beers, we ordered an appetizer of Chicken Nachos. We travel regularly and the flavor of the chicken was amazing, it really made an otherwise traditional plate of chips, cheese, beans & peppers shine. We also ordered the Shrimp Tacos with a side of Mac 'cheese & Jägerschnitzel (Pork Tenderloin pan fried to perfection). The menu noted the pork came with cheddar mashed potatoes & he ordered a side of broccoli. While we waited for our appetizer, we had another couple of stouts. Unfortunately the appetizer arrived the same time as the entrees, kind of aggravating, but what are you going to do, you eat. The kitchen took it upon themselves to substitute the potatoes for sauerkraut, yuck. When my husband brought to the waitress's attention, she corrected with apologies. Our meals were excellent, only wish the shrimp had not been fried, but they were very tasty. Wish we were going to be in town longer, would come back and sit at the bar and try the shrimp & grits Until next time! Thanks from The OBX Joneses

    Excellent balance in this Crawfish and Shrimp potato

    Want some casual hometown vibe with an upscale and healthy food experience? Highly recommend Sweet Roux in Culpeper. Had a great date night and tried out this new fave for Restaurant Week. Great menu with excellent execution by the Chef and Staff. The wait staff is so friendly and the bartender takes pride in his work. Let's keep this gem in our town!

    Chicken and Waffles with a view outside

    Stopped in for restaurant week since I was in the area. Too early for their dinner specials but most of the items I was interested in were available off the regular menu. Started with the fried green tomatoes- simply some of the best I've ever had. The breading was light and crisp and the bbq sauce they were served up with was on point. Then on to the chicken and waffles - the chicken was juicy and flavorful and though it looked overcooked it actually wasn't. The waffle was a little more spongy than crisp but it was still reasonably light and very tasty. The highlight though was the bourbon maple syrup - I practically licked the dish clean it was so good! It's seat yourself and half the tables are blocked off due to Covid, The decor isn't much - industrial meets diner, is the best I can describe it. This is not a fancy or romantic restaurant just a comfortable place with really good food. Kudos to the waitress who was friendly and very fast with clearing the plates - I wish I got her name. Great value for money. If you're looking for a good meal in Culpeper this place should be at the top of the list.

    L-R Mediterranean salad, Chicken Wings, and Grilled Salmon entree.
    Anita T.

    This is the kind of restaurant I wish was a block away from my own house. It is a stone's throw from the lovely suite we rented for the night, and a careful skim of the reviews here told me that we should try it for Carry-Out. We like to eat fairly wholesome and not go overboard on carbs, and Sweet Roux offered many Mediterranean options. I ordered a Mediterranean salad and the husband ordered the salmon entree. Oh, and wings to share. About online ordering-it's usually not as accurate as call-in ordering anywhere you go. Unless you don't stray from the order at all. So I wasn't surprised that they forgot the Buffalo sauce we requested on the side. But since it's a minute away from where we were, my husband had no problem retrieving it. And I won't take a star off this time-lol! The salad was fresh and tasty, and came with falafel. The salmon and sides looked perfect, and hubby reported that it tasted very good. Wings were good too with the hot sauce to dip them into. So for carry out, this earns a " thumbs up".

    Pimento Cheese with Pita Bread
    Larry W.

    We stopped in for a quick snack and a couple drinks the other day around noon. There was one other patron in the restaurant. I ordered a Miller Lite, my daughter ordered a water and we ordered the Pimento Cheese Dip with Pita Bread. They were out of Miller Lite, so I ordered the next best thing.....Crown Royal on the rocks (double). MY drink was served quickly, my daughter's water not so quickly....we had to ask again. Back to my Crown Royal I have to say they give you a very generous pour! Like I said there was only one other customer and she checked out right after we ordered. You'd think Pimento Cheese and Pita would come out fairly quick, but it took about 15 minutes which is a bit long. But we weren't in a hurry and it did seem like they were doing a good amount of take out orders. My first bite of the Pimento Cheese threw me for a loop, it tasted like nothing but bacon. I'm from NC and have had my share of Pimento Cheese and have never even thought about adding bacon, even though I love bacon....just not in my Pimento Cheese. THANKFULLY the second bite tasted nothing like bacon and after eating more of the Pimento Cheese I didn't taste bacon again and don't even think there was bacon in it. But I'm telling you, my first bite had the flavor of bacon and I'm sticking to it! lol The Pimento Cheese Dip ended up being pretty good and the pita bread was fresh and warm. But I would have preferred pita chips or crackers with the Pimento Cheese. When we got the bill, at the last minute I decided to have one more drink added to the original bill. Well my first drink was $6.99 which for a double Crown Royal is a great price and part of the reason I ordered another. Well when the bill came back it was $12.99 for each drink which is still a decent price. I didn't say anything because it was an obvious mistake, but I wish they would have honored the $6.99 price for Double Crowns because I'd probably still be there! LOL Our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed or maybe involved in something else and could have been more attentive considering we were the only ones there. But overall we liked Sweet Roux and will try it again!

    The food was so-so. It tasted like frozen food that was bought from a wholesale club, then cooked or microwaved.

    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.

    Stopped by Grass Rootes on a Friday afternoon and everything we had was really great!…read more We started with the antipasto board to share which was a great blend of cheeses and a couple meats. 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.
