Upbeat vibes and fun atmosphere with live music on a Friday night, but the food was not memorable. The Chili queso chip appetizer tasted alright, but was barely luke warm when it arrived. The smoked steak and cheese sandwich checked all the boxes on paper, but there was something missing in the flavors. To me, it was boring. I tried one bite of the bourbon buffalo chicken sandwich and I liked it the best out of the three items. I did not drink with the meal, but I thought it was cool that they offered serve yourself beers on tap with a case of refrigerated glasses, in addition to a traditional bar counter setup. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating in the parking lot if you want to get closer to the band. read more

The burgers are not as good as Five Guys, though equally as expensive. Basically everything in this area is DC prices now. Restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe on the inside.. looks like a good place for 30 and 40 somethings to hang out on Friday and Saturday nights. It's a bit of a maze actually getting into the parking lot. The guy who took our orders was friendly Probably wouldn't go back again, unless it was with a group and they wanted to go there as there are many other options in the area read more

Great stop from 95- instead of fast food or going into Fredericksburg for finer dining. Of course I loved it! 90s Gen Xer! Loved all he artwork and Rolling stone framed covers. Tried their beef brisket without bbq sauce-- which is homemade but sweet. Still fabulous having cut out an ingredient with no subs! Well I did add their 240 sauce which was great. No ketchup needed! Just use that for tots! And what a respectable establishment-- no fries available-- ONLY TOTS! The owner / chef must be very familiar of the only good part of 80's/ 90s school lunches! Thanks for the nostalgia read more

I was just WOW'd by this place! We are first timers and seriously blown away by the so delicious and fresh food along with the superior service. Every staff member gave us a warm welcome.

After a very long day I wanted a burger! Lol a vegetable burger that is. Luckily there's so many tasty places to eat in Fredericksburg Gourmeltz wasn't hard to find. The vegetable burger was good, different. Imagine a grilled cheese veggie burger sandwich. Extremely tasty. You won't get the thickness of beans and veggies but, it's good. A definite must try. The sweet potato tots were exactly what you would expect. 10/10. So good. Plus, if you're looking for a sports bar this is the place. Each wall has TVs! And the crowd is a vibe! read more

Gourmeltz - Veggie Burger Melt w/ sweet potato tater tots. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

I had read the reviews for this casual eatery and decided to check it out. It's a nice lively funky place with live music some nights a week as well as trivia. There are tables to sit but we opted to sit by the bar counter. Our server was nice, but as we interacted with her, she just seemed nice but not really interested in any deep conversation...superficially nice. Everything seemed like a canned phrase that she used to greet customers. The food was good though, we got a chicken and waffles (the waffles could had been crisper) and a Cobb salad. Not a bad place for a quick meal. They have a full bar, so I got a cocktail and my husband got a beer. read more

Well I was finally able to make a visit to place. They are located in Southpoint off exit 126, on a corner next to HCK Hot Chicken. Before you walk in, they have a large patio seatings with umbrellas on your left and a double sided bar. The interior WOW... I wasn't expecting how spacious and vibrant it is. The bar has high chairs all around, multiple tv monitors, very colorful murals all throughout the building. As you walk up to the counter, there's a large overhead menu if you plan for carry out and if you're dining in. your server will bring a menu to your table. I ordered 3 items: 1) Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip 2) Grilled Beef Hot Dog 3) Smokehouse Bacon Bleu Burger. The Buffalo chicken dip arrive to the table with multiple warm pita bread which are light, crispy edges and soft interior. The dip itself was creamy, chunks of chicken and sprinkled with bleu cheese crumbles. As you prepare for your first bite, you're already anticipating and it was incredibly flavorful and deep. It is a must get item. You won't be disappointed. The bacon bleu burger stated it has two meat patties, bacon, onions, bbq sauce, bleu cheese and cheddar. It was also served with any side of your choice (tater tots) It was tasty but unfortunately the only thing I was able to taste was the bleu cheese which overpowered the rest of the ingredients. The tater tots were perfectly prepare. The outside was lightly fried and the interior was soft. Before ordering their grilled 1/4 pound beef hot dog, there are multiple topping of your choice. I select ketchup, mustard, chili, nacho cheese. When I took my first bite, it was complex, delicious and messy. I didn't mind the messy part because it was all worth it. I wasn't able to stop until it was all gone. I had impeccable service by my server Shannon R who was attentive, friendly and humorous. All staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. While you eat, there's a music video that won't disturb you and your guests. They have live entertainment on Saturdays with a band and karaoke. If you haven't made a visit yet, you're missing out. The atmosphere is relaxing, welcoming and energetic. I'll definitely make another visit to try other items on their menu. read more

This place has big potential. We stopped for lunch on our drive home. It's about a mile off 95. The decor is so fun! Bright colors, art, lots of music decor and photo worthy backdrops. It was so hot on our particular day, but it has a great patio. Our highlights were the chicken and waffle sandwich and regular tots, so good. The waffle themselves were 4.5-5 stars. The grilled cheese taco with grilled chicken was just okay. I got the honey chipotle sauce. On the side, I chose sweet potato tots. These could have used more crunch and some salt. The sauce with it was an interesting concept, somewhat like the icing on a cinnamon roll, but it didn't quite work for me. My husband got the brisket sandwich and we probably should have read it more closely. It was much closer to a patty melt in flavor with buttery toast, melted cheese and creamy slaw. I think he was expecting a more meat forward sandwich. I think it was a 4 star sandwich, but he wouldn't order again. The server was super friendly. We saw only cute, bubbly female staff. read more

(Updated rating) Good and unique comfort food, Good & attentive service, and great ambiance with very nice art and posters. We dined in and I had the funnel cakes fries 10$ (with chocolate and strawberry sauce), the southern cookout melt (with regular tots) 14$, the chicken and waffle sandwich (with old bay tots) 13$, and tried 2 wings (1 bbq & 1 tipsy Thai). The funnel cakes fries were a pretty good appetizer and tasted good with both chocolate and strawberry dips/sauces. The southern cookout melt was solid but the Mac n cheese was pretty disappointing (dry) and there could've been a bit more boq sauce and pork but it was still solid. The chicken and waffle sandwich was easily my favorite and tasted very good. The tots were pretty solid and the sauce that came with it complimented them very well but l'd definitely say the old bay tots were the better choice. The tipsy Thai and bbq wings were decent but l'd say bbq was the better of the two. All in all, this place was pretty good and I would definitely recommend it. read more

Gourmeltz - Pretty disgusting feathers still on multiple wings - Sandwiches Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

My wife and I stopped in on a whim one day, just looking for a quick bite and what an amazing surprise we found. This place isn't serving your average grilled cheese. These are real, thoughtfully crafted gourmet sandwiches absolutely bursting with flavor. Every detail, from the ingredients to the presentation, feels elevated and intentional. I ordered the Beef Brisket Bomber, and let me tell you whoa, that's a flavor bomb if I've ever had one. The brisket was smoked to perfection tender, juicy, and full of that rich, smoky goodness that makes you stop and appreciate every bite. It's clear they know what they're doing in the kitchen. The sandwich was perfectly balanced, cheesy and savory with just the right amount of texture. And don't sleep on the sides the tater tots were a great choice. Crispy, golden, and seasoned just right, they paired perfectly with the sandwich and rounded out the meal in the best way. Since that first visit, I've already been back three more times, and every single experience has been consistently excellent. At this point, I proudly consider myself a regular. Whether you're looking for comfort food done right or want to treat yourself to something flavorful and satisfying, this place is absolutely worth it. Highly, highly recommended. read more

First time trying this place. It was ok. A little bland but definitely edible. Maybe if it wasn't takeout, the texture would've been better. It wasn't bad, perse, but we've had better. read more

Last minute stop on the way back home, my son said he wanted a sandwich for dinner and this place popped up down the street from our hotel. We were in for a treat. We walked in during karaoke! I forgot to get a picture of the menu but they had some funky options. I Love that they had a full non meat menu! I got the chik'n and waffle sandwich and some sweet potato tater tots. That sandwich was GREAT! And the tater tots were crispy and hot and yummy. It also had a full bar attached with self pour beer and LOT of places to sit. The service was great and I enjoyed the karaoke with my meal. Very funky place. read more

The service was good and friendly. The food in my option was not. I ordered the burger.. the meat tasted off and I couldn't finish it due to the taste. My stomach did turn about an hour later. Unsure if it was because of the meat or the excess grease/butter on the bread. Not a fan. read more

Really chill place, there's an outdoor section where we sat that's dog friendly. It's a 90s music themed bar which was a cool vibe. It's not normally full service, usually you go up and order your food and they bring it out to you but the when we sat down at one of the outside tables the bartender came up and did full service which was really nice. The food was super good, I got the brisket salad and my friend did the chicken and waffle melt which she said was yummy and we shared a large side of old bay tots which was super good. Great vibes overall, would definitely come back! read more

Got take out from here, so I can't comment on the ambience beyond my brief visit inside. That being said, I will definitely return for in person dining. It's an eclectic 90s vibes restaurants with a great soundtrack and relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent, although the jalapenos on the nachos were seeded and a bit rough, but there's folks who would like that so I suppose it is to taste. The brisket sandwich is amazing, one of the best I've ever had. read more

We got take-out but everything was SO GOOD! The Southern Cookout is a grilled cheddar cheese sandwich with bbq pulled pork, mac & cheese, and caramelized onion. YUM! I'm glad I got the tomato soup, but the sweet potato tots with cinnamon sauce were also a good side option. read more

Really nice place, friendly, food was great! I got the brisket and it was delicious.

Driving by and thought we'd give it a try! Walked in to a clean atmosphere with lots of TVs. The young lady at the register was helpful and patient with our first visit.

Found this place on the humble as I was in the area to actually go eat somewhere else and decided to stop here instead and check it out. So glad I did. If you are looking for some southern eats then Gourmeltz has the perfect melt for you!! The Southern Cookout needs to be in your hands making its way to your mouth!!! Nestled in between two buttery pieces of toasted bread, think teas toast you get BBQ Pulled Pork , Mac and Cheese dressed with melted cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. You will need some napkins after feasting on this meaty melt!! I also tried their cucumber salad which was pretty tasty as well. The interior is a vibe all its own. From the beer taps where you can basically pour your own beer or the bar where you can grab a bevy. Plus if you are a local brewery fan the also have beer to go from local favs like Hardywood and a few others. They also have great HH specials as well. read more

Honestly, I don't know how this place is still in business. I have been here probably a half a dozen times where I keep trying to give them a chance. Every single time I leave super disappointed.

We are obsessed with Gourmeltz! Not only do I appreciate what the company and its owners stand for, but I love that they offer plenty of vegetarian options, including a vegetarian Chicken and Waffles, a plant-based version of their most popular item! The fact that they keep a veggie chicken patty in stock is something worth celebrating. My favorite sandwiches are the Veggie Chicken and Waffles, Veggie Bourbon Buffalo (mozzarella sticks on a sandwich? Heck yes!), and the Veggie Burger Melt. Each sandwich is served with a side to complete the meal: tater tots are their potato of choice here, and they even have amazing sweet potato tots (which are hard to find) that are served with a delicious cinnamon sugar dipping sauce...YUM. I crave Gourmeltz weekly and it is a place I will continue to support as long as I'm in the 'Burg. Thank you, Gourmeltz, for having delicious options for everyone! read more
