I've passed by this spot a thousand times and never thought to go in--tucked, as it is, in the…read morecorner of a large parking lot and abutted by big box stores, it didn't necessarily call out to me. 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. No photos this time because I am a pig man and I tend to eat half my plate before my brain says, "hey! Yelp review inbound!"

It was a Saturday night and our group of 7 wandered in and found a table. We were waited on right away and our server was awesome. Drinks came out quickly, but it took a while for our food and apps because it was PACKED so we expected it. Our server was right on top of our empty drinks so no worries. When we finally got the food, it was typical bar type food. Some of us loved our meals and some of us not so much. It also turns out there was a band that night so we hung out to see them play and I am sooooo glad that we did! If you ever get the chance to see Dry River Band, go immediately! They were fantastic and it's easy to see why they have such a following in the area. My only complaint is that there is only one bathroom for women so the line was 6 deep at one point. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our visit and will be stopping back the next time we're passing through.

For lunch, we had the Apple Brie and Turkey sandwich. That was such a good combination. We also had the Arugula and apples salad. It also was good. The main tasting costs $20. They also offer an option to customize your wine tasting for $30. Both provide four wines. We customized and had the Sauvignon Blanc, the Viognier, the Rose, and the Petit Verdot. All were good, and it was fun tasting such an eclectic mix of wines. The staff are kind and professional. Our server gave us a little history on the vineyard, which we really appreciated.

When traveling solo it can be tough to visit wineries even if they're dog friendly outside because you're expected to go inside to order, and I refuse to tie my dog up. Not this place - he was gladly welcomed in the tasting room! The other patrons were super friendly and after seeing me take a picture of my dog they were quick to jump in and make sure to do a whole photoshoot of me with him. All the staff were in love with my dog and even grabbed some treats for him. Basically, if you have a dog...this is the place to go! I got the white wine tasting flight and didn't love a couple of the wines but I'm admittedly not a wine snob and I mainly drink sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio. Have never been a fan of chardonnay so I don't think it's that theirs is bad - more of personal preference and I'm sure others love it! I ended up getting another glass of the Vidal Blanc because that one was excellent! We visited 10/26/25 and loved seeing the fall colors in the background. It was pretty empty on a Sunday so we easily got a front row table where we could look out at the vineyards/trees/mountains. Will absolutely be back here if we're ever in the area again!

I can't remember it all, and it was quite overwhelming. I do know they didn't have a welcome mat, which is what I really wanted. I was told they'd hopefully have one by the holidays. So I'll be returning...also because it's where I travel for work. But if you're in Staunton, this shop is not to be missed. It's like a musical etsy conglomerate. Respect it.
