Menu consists of Burgers, Sandwiches, Wraps, and other items. Service was fine and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The Gyro Feta Burger was below average. I ordered it without Feta, but the tzatziki sauce was very weak. Burger meat had no flavor. The fries were tough to describe as they might have been overdone and old, but were edible. My friend's pretzel bites were just ok. Overall, the food left a lot to be desired, and Grill 309 would not be on my return list.

What totally amazes me is that I haven't reviewed this restaurant before - and have gone for a few…read moreyears! Honestly don't know what 4C represents, but they do all meals. Breakfast 'ends' at 1100, but is available all day. Good assortment; I've had the country style and the normal bacon/eggs. Will try something new. As to lunch/dinner.... A good into to Peruvian cuisine. My (previous) favorite was a tuna fish cake cooked inside a fried potato cake. I can never remember the name . Today, I brought my daughter for lunch. She had chicken strips with fries. I tried some fries, just the way I like them. For my meal, I tried the seafood medley. I may have a new favorite . Shrimp, mussels, 1 scallop , done with a nice, light sauce. Wow. The style of the place is casual, many locals come for breakfast and coffee. There's also a coffee bar and an ice cream area. Makes sense as it's located across the street from the movie theatre. This is representative of the Culpeper food scene: mostly casual, small assortment of world cuisine (more coming - hoping for Korean). And all our food trucks . If you can't find something beyond fast-food, I can't help you .

Stopped in to the 4C's for breakfast. After looking over the menu, I ordered the Sausage Gravy &…read moreBiscuits, with two eggs over easy, corned beef hash, and hash browns, plus coffee and water. Food came out in short order. The Sausage gravy was a white, almost flavorless gravy. You could see bits of sausage in the gravy, but it sure did not taste like anything. It was very underseasoned. I added salt, pepper, and hot sauce to impart some flavor to it. The eggs, corned beef hash, and hashbrowns were cooked properly. The corned beef hash is of the canned variety, but it was crisped up nicely. And the hash browns were crispy. I added a bit of salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns, and hot sauce on the corned beef hash. If I had not tried the Sausage gravy and biscuits - this would have been a 4 or 5 star review. My server asked me during checkout how everything was. I articulated my experience with the Sausage gravy. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #4CsRestaurant

I ordered a cheeseburger medium rare and it came out well done also with wilted lettuce. DIL ordered chicken and it was ok.

I am giving this IHOP 2 stars ONLY because on Fathers Day we went here and service was very good…read moreand food was almost perfect! AND they were extremely busy... it was Fathers Day!! Since it was so great and my adult children and grandchildren were treated well, and so were we, we all decided to go, again, the very next Sunday. Really expected a great time. Everything was different. My daughter in law was treated terribly and looked at by the person who seated them - and the server, as though she was from another planet. We arrived shortly after they did and 20 minutes later was approached by another person (?) and was informed our server would be with us very shortly. 20 minutes later a server came to our table to take our order. There were 2 other tables that had guest seated... servers and management walking around with nothing to do while we waited... The server introduced herself as if she hadn't seen us - though she already took my son's and his wife's drink order - and I was very upset. I was trying to keep things happy, I joked around a little and told the server we'd try and take it easy on her and then I placed my order first and then we proceeded around the table. 45 minutes later... no food was served yet... another 15 minute....no food. My husband got up and inquired and was told it takes time. 10 minutes later, we left and the manager stopped us in the parking lot and informed us our food was ready and they were ready to serve it... My son explained to the manager that we had been there on Father's Day and even when it was so busy and we had expected to wait a while for food, we had it within 20 minutes... and we had already been there almost 2 hours and we were going elsewhere. I felt this restaurant was very prejudice - my daughter in law is Asian and it is VERY sad when she is treated this way, even by the manager. We were all treated badly. She is the most loving and caring person I have ever met. We will never return here... and I love IHOP... but seems like this is becoming a normal for IHOP.

DONT BOTHER! staryucks is better and cheaper! plus the owner is a nasty mad at the world moron who is only there to take your money for over priced goods. me and my bf were really excited about having a coffee house so nearby. not just a staryucks! our first experience was fine with this place but then we came back a couple days later... what a rude awakening!!!! the lady behind the counter was very rude she treated us like she didnt want to serve us. and on top of that she didnt even get my drink right. i did not notice until i had sat down. when i went up and asked to get the correct drink she had a major attitude with me. i asked for the number of her boss and she said she owned the place!!! wow i feel sorry for anyone that goes into that shop and has to deal with the monster behind the counter and greive for anyone employed by her!!!! DONT BOTHER WITH THIS COFFEE SHOP!!!!!! read more

I was very disappointed with the Frozen Hot Chocolate, after having read a prior rave review of it and having gone out of my way while walking in the heat to try it. It was a runny, soupy, unfrozen, not particularly chocolately concoction with a slightly powdery taste. It definitely was not worth the premium I paid for it. I love the shop itself, the two-star rating is for the Frozen Hot Chocolate. The shop is comfortable, with a relaxed, mellow vibe and a great song list playing. I was here last summer and I'll probably return (I have friends living nearby) but I'll be ordering a more pedestrian tea or coffee, not the overpriced not-really-frozen hot chocolate. read more

Best coffee in culpeper. I don't go for the specialty drinks, just plain coffee and it's much better than starbucks. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches are just awesome. The pricing here is equivalent to starbucks but the coffee and pastries and the ambience at the shop is much better. The Service is great And the special music guests make it more fun. read more
