    Small fries
    Sven M.

    I love this place. What a great little smash hamburger diner. The fries are heaping and the burgers delicious.

    This is one of our absolute favorite locations for burgers and fries!! Locally sourced beef, freshly pattied and cooked on the grill behind the bar, can't go wrong. Today, however, I ventured from my normal and, instead, got the Chicken Philly. I was so happy and so was my mouth and belly!! Another cool thing about this local, friendly place is that they employee lots of local high school students and graduates. Great pics up everywhere from professional sports to local high school athletics! Easy to get into, seat yourself, order food with the friendly waitstaff, then pay at the register. Great work being done here at very reasonable, inexpensive prices. Right off route 250 - easy to get to from Staunton, Waynesboro or Charlottesville. Enjoy!!

    Another episode of critique from food corner. Let me start by saying if you want tailgate and you don't have one. You need to stop here but you had better come hungry. This is where it's at. I will start off by saying they greet you at the door. The service is a rare gem for this area. Also this is the burger spot in Waynesboro across from old neighborhood Market Walmart. Tonight was dined on Philly cheese steak and a footlong hotdog. When I say yum. Doesn't even come close to how good it is. Their staff is very accommodating and will do their best to help anyway they can. Also can't forget the 2 appetizers. Cowboy bites and crack bites. Let me just say they are heavenly. Just make sure you get the tailgate space to dip them in. I couldn't slow up on em to get you a better picture and they make a fry basket that rivals 5 guys but they can't touch the quality. All I can say is if you haven't tried it. You are missing out.

    You can watch them cook your food!

    They servers know their stuff!! Polite & attentive! Space is limited so go before 12 or after 1300...it gets very crowded during the lunch rush!! Delicious homemade sweet tea! Open at 1100 and close in the evening. ...

    Forget the Five Girls Burgers. TTG is the only place to procure a delicious, juicy, tasty carnivore treat of a burger. If it's just a couple of you sitting down get the small fries, they ain't so small. Beside a fabulous burger they have one of the best service teams found anywhere. I'm in retail and take some of my guys there every now and then to show them what busting your hump and making people happy looks like. Kudos to the wait staff at TTG. You guys are top notch. Family friendly with a sports bar feel. It does get loud when full.

    Grilled chicken & cheeseburger.  Fries not pictured but the small order was HUGE!

    Awesome little joint! Very clean and inviting dining room. Kitchen looks immaculate and there are TVs for the sports fans. Servers and staff are super friendly and the food came out fast!

    Philly cheese steak with everything on it.

    Fell in love with Papa's during our first visit here. We had the shrimp basket and shrimp and…read morecatfish poboy, both served with fries. Everything came out hot and crispy, and both the fish and the shrimp had the lightest touch of batter so the seafood flavor really came through. We ordered extra sides (a steal at $3 each!) of mac and cheese and beans. You could make a meal out of the mac and cheese itself-it is a very generous portion of creamy, cheesy goodness! The standout for me of all the dishes was the baked beans. You have never had beans like this. Trust me. I rarely eat beans because they're often too sweet, but Papa's beans are only slightly sweet and laced with an amazing smokey flavor (they are cooked with smoked brisket). I'm excited to come back and try the collard greens! On top of all the fantastic food, Jamar, the owner and chef, came out to ask us about our meal, which was the highlight of our visit. You will not meet a nicer, more caring restaurant owner! He really cares about his customers and you can tell the food is made with heart. It is truly a family business, with Jamar's mom behind the counter and home cooked recipes on the menu. It is worth the wait to get food this good, so kick back with a beer at one of the tables outside while your food is being prepared with love! 5 stars for food, 10 stars for service. It's like going to someone's home for dinner. Pro Tip: You can't see Papa's from the road if you are on North Delphine. It is on the backside of the mini-market on the corner (you may see the picnic tables on the side-that's where Papa's is!).

My wife and I stopped in and got two chicken sandwiches. All and all these sandwiches alone demonstrated a keen eye for quality. The chicken was tender and the breading has a good flavor. I look forward to this restaurant opening its doors completely. If you are just traveling through the area or are a local. I except this place to become a hometown classic.

However, I have always hoped to have the other server... we were unlucky to have the same lady both times (so definitely not just a bad day) who does not return the warmth you try to give her.

For the food, it was very pretty! It is definitely made with love! Just... not a ton of flavor. The in-house Honey Dutch syrup was sweet but not the in the traditional way that one associates with vanilla and they don't offer any other alternatives so I don't recommend ordering the French Toast as they are quite dry. They would have been lovely with tbe SMALLEST amount of syrup. The fruit portion was incredibly generous however. My partner's breakfast plate was again, underwhelming but not bad.

This Charming (yes, a capital C) place opened in downtown Waynesboro, Va as one of the first spots to help turn downtown around. With a miss-mash of antiques everywhere you turn, including old china for serving, you can't escape its eclectic creativeness. It has become a staple for brunch and lunch every day they are open. On a recent Thursday I found my self off from work so I met up with a friend for lunch. They were packed, luckily I knew to call ahead to make a reservation. Highly recommend! Although if you don't, they have a large communal table available too. The great thing about SBL is that everything is great. My favorite soup is the tomato basil bisque. I've had a variety of their salads and sandwiches as well and have never been disappointed. But on Thursdays I just learned, they have the grilled salmon BLT. This thing is massive, messy, and delicious. I may be taking another Thursday off just go eat this thing again.

    We had a large party and it was on their prime rib night…read more Drink orders were first, and it took an exceptionally long time to get our orders. It wasn't very crowded, maybe 6 or 7 other tables with 2-4 people each. You had to pre-order your prime rib to ensure they had one for you. Not wanting the prime rib, I ordered the pork chop dinner along with the two sides. They were out of pork chops. They asked what else I would like, I asked if they would do the prime rib at the pork chop price, about a $15 difference. They (the server) said no. The only other choice was sandwiches or a shrimp scampi. I didn't want either, so I just asked if I could get the sides instead (a baked potato and asparagus). She said she would put the order in. When the food came out, all I ended up with was my appetizer (6 oysters Rockefeller). I asked about the side and was told by yet another waitress that they don't do that. Three different waiters/waitresses. No manager ever came over. Way over priced (1 shrimp scampi -$32, one half Caesar salad - $6, one half order (6 anorexic) oysters Rockefeller-$19, 2 good old fashions - $30 plus a mandatory 20% gratuity. I still had to stop on the way home to get something to eat. Poor management and exorbitant pricing makes for a poor business model. But I guess the members get a pretty steep discount so they gouge the non-members to keep the doors open. Not likely to go back and would definitely NOT put my name on any kind of recommendation for this place. Spend your money elsewhere, anywhere, just not here.

    Servers were friendly. Food is very good. Great big television to watch sports in the bar.read more

Well thank goodness I finally decided to nip in to 3rd Generations Grill last evening for a hot meal and a cold beer after a long day. I was quite happy with the experience. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but the dining room is large, open, and features a nice bar at the back with a decent selection of draft beer (sadly no dark options for the porter- and brown ale-loving crowd) and sundry spirits. The walls are plastered with rock & roll posters (they get extra credit for the Ziggy Stardust poster on the left side of the room as you enter) and the space is clean and well lit without being antiseptic and blazing. I think with a larger crowd (it was a bit sparse on my visit) the room could be a bit loud, so if quiet is your thing maybe plan for a low traffic time. After negotiating a workaround for the QR code-based online menu (I deduct a full star if that's my only option for ordering because I think it's poor service), I ordered the Generator burger from my very friendly, helpful, and service-forward bartender. What's great is I told him what I was looking for and he competently guided me to one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Double smashed patty, double bacon, cheese, onion. I added lettuce and tomato because I want to dupe myself into believing I had a vegetable that evening. Comes with side of their hand-cut fries and is a hearty portion of well prepared food. When I say this is a two-handed-eat-over-the-plate-like-a-caveman burger, that's exactly what it is. Thing is a monster of beautiful beef and bacon and cheese (sorry vegans, try again). Oh, and the food came out in good time--not fast food, but good food fast. I have a minor quibble with the fries which, while hand cut and nicely seasoned, were a bit under and kinda soggy. Not inedible, but could be better. I think if they blanched the fries before the final cook they'd achieve a crispier outside with that nice cushy potato centre you want in a French fry. But that's the only quibble. Service: six stars Food: four stars Ambiance: four stars Value: five stars I'll be going back again, for sure.
