Very tasty burger with the grilled onions. The house-made chips are also good. My only complaint is the tiny "side salad" that I ordered. That it would be an upcharge with my burger but was charged $7 for the small salad. Server confirmed after questioning the bill.

We stopped into Grill 309 on a Wednesday night and downtown Culpeper was busy. We circled the block…read moreand found close free parking on a side street next to Grill 309. The interior gives upscale sports bar vibes. We chose a high top table toward the back of the restaurant. Our server ended up being the bartender too. They had $5 margaritas that night so I ordered one and we started with an order of their pierogies. There were four and they were served over a smear of their beer cheese. There were ok. I wanted more seasoning in the filling itself. It was pretty bland. For my entree I got their hot dog with chili and cheese with their housemade chips. I was pleasantly surprised to see a cheese sauce on the dog. It was pretty good. Some of the chips were pretty overcooked. The service brought this score down. I think the bartender was busy but plenty of servers were available. There was a lot of conversation at the bar. We probably should have just sat there. We missed out on drink refills, having our order taken promptly, and getting the check when we were ready to leave. Overall there were a lot of interesting things on the menu. I would want to return to see what else tasted good.

First off Alicia needs a serious attitude adjustment! Maybe even walked out the door!!…read more My fiancé and I come here often- we are BDubs people. We usually sit at the bar. Although the bartenders aren't really engaging, the service is consistent and food very good. However, tonight when I found out my mother had never had BDubds I decided to bring her out. The moment we walked in the door it was chaos, unwelcoming, and just basically ridiculous. First we stood at the podium for about five minutes waiting for someone to seat us before someone yelled to us to just sit wherever we want. So we made our way to a booth by the window only to notice all the booths said 'closed'. So we just picked a table nearby only to be asked to move b/c it was blocked off. So we were moved to a wobbly table and no sooner than we sat down did this Alicia lady set a couple at that table. I mean it's been a while. But some things just stay with you.

I aged yet another year this past Thursday (one year older, but not another year wiser, healthier,…read moreor wealthier - lol), & since the pandemic nixed us going out for a nice fancy birthday meal, & since I had a hankering for my favorite "Bleu Cheese & Grilled Onion Burger" from Glory Days, placed an order which dear husband picked up & brought home. Now I've been enjoying these burgers for many years now - it's my hands-down favorite Glory Days offering. Ordered to go last year some time & was underwhelmed at how it was put together & how it traveled. This time, however - what a revelation! While of course I re-toasted everything in the oven for 10 minutes or so (fries in particular never travel well, so always need a bit of a crisp-up), whoever made & whoever packed the burger deserve awards. The burger was more than an inch thick & perfectly medium-rare as ordered. Bleu cheese crumbles were perfectly piled on the burger - not scattered all over the place - as were the beautifully grilled onions. And healthy portions of both. The creme-de-la-creme? Someone had the absolutely genius idea to place a piece of parchment paper between the lettuce/tomato/raw red onion & the rest of the burger, thus preventing those fresh toppings from not only wilting from the heat of the burger enroute, but also sogging up the bun!! I simply lifted the parchment paper with fresh toppings off while I reheated the burger & bun, & replaced them (minus parchment) when everything was hot & ready. Both burger & fries were absolutely PERFECT (side pickle spear cold & crisp as well) - just as good if not better than if I had ordered & enjoyed it in the restaurant. If I had to be anal & ding them on anything, it was that no little plastic cup of ketchup was provided, but I had my own favorite "spicy ketchup" on hand, so probably wouldn't have used theirs anyway. Bottom Line: I can only hope & pray that this wasn't a one-time thing due to someone superior manning the kitchen & that my next burger order will arrive home exactly the same as this one!!

After not frequenting this location for quite some time we started to go back on Fridays for their…read moreFriday Fish Fry which has been very good. Then we decided to go on a Tuesday and try their Tri-Fecta. BIG MISTAKE!! I selected the Chrispy Chicken Sandwich. I couldn't even finish it. I tried but but after a few bites I gave it to a friend who was with us and feeds a local ground hog. It was dry, over cooked and like rubber. I don't think even the ground hog will eat it. So, I guess we won't be going back too often and if so it will be on a Friday. I'm only giving 2 stars for the server Bryanna and the Gentilman who greeted us as both were very good.

Her food preparation reaches perfection. We have searched for good bbq and found a great place in Shawn's. We ordered extra so we could have leftovers but had no idea how much food we would get with each order. What a great surprise! Each specialty was more delicious than the next. We started with the ribs with the sweet and spicy sauce and were impressed not only by the taste but how meaty they were. Next we had burnt ends which were exquisite. The best we have ever had. We moved on to the brisket sandwich which was delicious. The sides, which included baked beans, potato salad, and coleslaw were fresh and well-made. We would highly recommend this diner. It is so nice to have a place that feels like down home and has great food.

Burnt ends - 3.5* my partner liked them more than me. I have a friend who makes the best burnt ends and I've yet to find a place that does it nearly as good. Half rack of ribs - 3* small (but to be fair I had beef ribs in mind) and decent. The dry rub was good and the sauce made it even better. Coleslaw - 5* really good and very fresh! The coconut was an interesting yet delicious addition. Mac & Cheese - 4* I liked it more than my partner. Pretty standard Mac and cheese.

Come on. But..ok. House made crab dip it is. It was like orange yogurt on a plate with hard, crunchy Pita bread for dipping. There was no crab visible or crab flavor at all. And as stated the "Pita bread" was hard. -went to the breakfast buffet in the morning, (free as its a partnership with the hotel) It was eh. Even though im not a fan of sausage gravy i did put a little on my biscuit. Its the sausage gravy that has miniscule sausage bits in it but doesn't smell or taste like sausage. Bacon was ok I guess. Im picky with breakfast. I love making my own. Anyway.. - That night coming back from events, We stopped in again for mozzarella sticks and chicken wings. These were good and a plentiful amount. Not 4 for $8 like most places.more like 7 or 8 for $12 which i feel is better. At least you're full. We noticed there was a buffet open! I asked about it. One time Salad bowl (not per pound) was $2.99 Wish I saw that before I got the mozzarella sticks! And a back room party with full on buffet and music I could hear in my room on the hill until 11pm. I didn't mind that at all. Because once the music went quiet, I could hear the butt smacks in my next door rooms.:( so where I would have given a 1 star the first night, I will give a 2.8 overall. We'll call it a 3. A LOT of locals come to have a good time and book rooms for party's and lots of buffets. Everyone seemed happy. Waitresses were nice.. we agreed to come back and put an extra effort into exploring all their options. (I didn't see peppers anywhere so not sure what the name is all about)
