    Breakfast
    Anna A.

    Stopped here on our way to Mt Vernon for an early breakfast. Large parking lot right next-door. This is a great place with amazing service!! We both ordered the chicken & biscuit with gravy and it may have been the best chicken we've ever had!! The biscuit was also delicious and the gravy well it made the meal!! We sat inside since it was early but there's a spacious outdoor patio. Jessica our server was so sweet and efficient. Highly recommend!!

    Food is always fantastic here. I got a buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato tots. There are so many options on the menu. Only negative is this spot it generally packed during lunch. The inside is a little bit compact so sit outside if you have the choice! Food and service is always great. Ask for the garlic buffalo sauce!

    Loaded Brussels Sprouts

    After hearing positive reviews from locals, I had to try it for myself and I was not disappointed!! Mason Dixon Cafe had a welcoming environment and friendly service on a weeknight. The loaded Brussels were perfectly crunchy and I loved the feta and balsamic topping. The food servings were huge for the sandwiches - I really liked the Jive Turkey for a thanksgiving vibe. It was messy though!! Enjoyed the meatloaf sandwich too, even better the second day as leftovers! Looking forward to trying more of their expansive menu :)

    Stopped by on our way to DC and glad we did. Found this little gem that offers indoor and outside eating options. Their food is made fresh and they provide generous portions. I was also surprised by their variety of food and drink options. Food was delish. We shall return.

    Shrimp & Grits

    The shrimp & grits are fabulous!!! I popped into Mason-Dixon on Labor Day and it was packed! This restaurant must be beloved locally. Luckily, I did some research beforehand, so I knew to join the online waitlist before I left to head there (&probably should have joined even earlier than that!). The wait ended up being about an hour and you can check your number on the waitlist, which helped everyone manage their expectations. Eventually, I was sat at the bar. I ordered a coffee and the shrimp & grits, and later ordered biscuits & gravy to go. Coffee came out quickly but the food took over a half hour. Service at the bar was not good. She never checked in, never offered to refill my coffee or give me water. I always had to wave her down. The lady next to me never received her orange juice either. The food was amazing though, so I see why people love this place. Since I was sitting at the bar that directly looks into the kitchen, I could see how fast and hard the kitchen staff worked. When there were any issues, they immediately worked to rectify it. The shrinp & grits are delicious and unique. I've never had one where it was more soupy with so much sauce. The flavors were amazing. I will dream of this dish lol. Overall, I would totally come back again if I'm in the area!!

    You can't compare this gem to any other place in Fredericksburg. Everything on the menu is delicious and even the vegan. Cocktails are crafted by season and hats off to team for fast service! Nothing fancy about the ambiance but get there early because there is always a waitlist.

    We came back here for breakfast since we were in the area. I ordered the ham and cheese omelette with home fries. My daughter ordered the Veggie sandwich. My the southern breakfast sandwich. The staff is still friendly and very patient on waiting on taking our order. This has become an iconic place in Fredericksburg to eat and usually stays crowded. The coffee here is pretty good. The prices are reasonable for the area. The portion sizes are good. All the food was very tasty. The home has a lot of flavor to them. Still this place does not disappoint.

    They're dead serious when they say their pancakes are huge LOL.. Love this place for breakfast whenever I visit FBurg. Their menu is really really big, I'm sure you'll find something that you like

    Omelet with Swiss cheese, home fries, waffles (very good! Ask for crunchy) and a fruit salad.

    Visiting VA for a few weeks. We stop by for breakfast on a Sunday after the gym. We had to wait 40 mins or so but at the end it was worth it. Very good food. Service was great/ very humble and home cooking feeling. I Will definitely come back. Please not they close at 2pm on Sundays...Again, the ambience comfy... relaxed

    Yum!

    Some good some bad usually depends on if they are busy are not! The food is usually good.

    We were told there'd be a 45-minute wait, and it was absolutely worth it. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was incredible--fluffy French toast with perfectly seasoned potatoes, and rich, flavorful Eggs Benedict that were beautifully presented. Everything was cooked to perfection. Delicious food, great service, and warm vibes. We'll definitely be back!

    We first walked in with our service dog, that had been in the car for 12 hours all the way from South Florida, she doesn't like to eat in the car, and our hotel was t ready just yet, so she was hungry. Upon walking in 2 employees gave me a very unpleasant stair down as I walked in (not sure if they realized how unwelcoming their faces were). When I asked for a table out of the way because I need more room, the very first thing they asked me was that a service dog, I said yes, and they looked at each other with a puzzling look which I didn't understand before one lady walked to look for a table. Now, my dog is a hypoallergenic, non shedding golden doodle... she was sitting on the floor next to me, and smelling all the smells and excited to be out of the car. You can be a service dog and still be normal and smelling food, and walking around your handler with excitement to be out of the car. It took her about 5 minutes to relax and lay on the ground next to me. I would like for the staff to be more aware of their faces towards people with service animals. Now the food. On my 12 hour drive, my have a lot of time on my hands while my husband drove. So tic tok to the rescue for places to eat. Well... tic tok let me down big time. I ordered the shrimp and grits. For $19 I was extremely disappointed. Being a Florida girl, I didn't know you can mess up shrimp and grits. The sauce for the grits was so overpowering, I found little to no grits and it was like a soup, way too watery. I asked for a side of grits to try to make it palatable. Didn't work. The coffee I ordered was decaf, not sure if it had been sitting long but it was so bitter I couldn't drink it. My husband chicken soup had zero noodles and poutine was average (and he is generally very fair with his reviews as he was a general manager). I do not recommend this place unfortunately. We only ate because we were starving (and saving our appetite because the tic tok video said it was so good). As a family that travels A LOT, we encounter lots of eating establishments, this is my opinion, save your money because they are also overpriced for what you get, the flavor and food quality.

    Great smooth-tasting coffee! And I was so happy to find…read moreburek! The burek was really good and exactly as I expected. We miss it because we used to have a Balkan restaurant near our home but it closed down. Not all the pastries were up our alley but the coffee alone is worth a trip. Can't wait to return!

    My wife and I were running errands on the Martin Luther King Jr holiday, and we decided to take a…read morebreak and have some lunch. As usual, my wife started looking for a place we haven't been before. Having been in Fredericksburg now for almost 2 1/2 years, the list of such places is getting shorter. We were out Route 3 west of 95, and she found a place called Affogato Europa Cafe. It's a family-run cafe and bakery featuring pastries, sandwiches, coffees, and lots of other sweets. It was a very clean, friendly looking place. We looked at the menu and my wife decided to have a Beef and Onion Burek, which is a traditional Balkan flaky pastry filled with, in this case, beef and onions. It was fantastic. Very flavorful and the pastry melted in your mouth. I'm a sucker for anything with the word "breakfast" in it. I had the Balkan Breakfast Panini. This marvelous sandwich contains egg, chorizo, cheese spread, provolone, tomato, and arugula. It was outstanding and the chorizo was very tasty (though a bit hard to bite through). I know I love a sandwich when after I put the last bite in my mouth, I feel a little sad because it is all done. Such was the case here. My wife had a Cortado espresso, which she loved but was a bit strong for me. I had a London Fog, which seemed like a latte with a hint of Earl Gray tea. I loved it, and when my wife tasted it she pronounced it "nummy". She doesn't use that word a lot so when she does I know she loves it. After lunch we split a Lava Cake, which is a small but decadent chocolate cupcake. The dining room was small but comfortable. The servers we encountered at the counter were very friendly. Rest room was very clean. It's not really close to us, but when were shopping out on Route 3, we'll certainly try them again.
