Restaurants in Culpeper

“This was a cozy, friendly, & delicious spot for our family. We had tried a few places before popping into this lovely place and none of the other restaurants could safely accommodate our food allergies. This restaurant made us feel welcome, safe, well taken care of, and gave us a tasty meal and kind service-all in a fun atmosphere. We will definitely be returning! We are very grateful for the safe & delicious meal, especially on a crowded night! Thank you so much!! ❤️”

“My wife and I were in Culpeper today to attend her uncles service at the Culpeper National Cemetary. After the service was looking for a place to eat. My wife and her uncle are Greek and I noticed this gem while looking through Google. We decided to go in his honor. Charlottesville has many Greek owned restaurants but our trip to Albanas was our first time at a place that served totally Greek cuisine. I can't think of the right words to describe our experience that would do justice. I think I have found a new favorite restaurant. The food and atmosphere was so delightful and amazing. The food was so fresh and everything is made in house. The pita bread melted in your mouth and my wife and I ordered the Gyro and we both commented that as Gyro fans it was the very best we had the pleasure to sink our teeth into. We had a awesome Greek salad as well and the dressing was so flavor packed and refreshing. Can't wait to make the trek back to Culpeper again soon to partake in this great establishment. We met Albana while we were there and she was very nice and you can tell she takes great care and pride in what she serves and the customer service from the other staff was supurb as well. This was also our first experience at a restaurant where a robot brings your food out to the table. I was very impressed with the people, food and atmosphere. Culpeper definitely has a little corner of Greece in its midst!”

“The food, service, and experience is always great!”

“Love the Frost Diner "café"!!! great service I feel like I am at home and the breakfast is awesome!!!”

“We are there last night and really enjoyed it. Great bbq.”

“It felt a bit unwelcoming when we walked up. No one greeted us or acknowledged us in any way. It was stuffy inside, so we grabbed a menu and sat outside. We figured out on our own to go inside to order. Pizza and beer were good. Probably won't visit again though.”

“Visited this morning for the first time. It was a fantastic experience. The staff were helpful, friendly, and most importantly knowledgeable. We made three selections. Two were guided (I was looking for an aged Cheddar with crystals) and one impulse buy. All were excellent. This is not the cheese store for your average American cheese consumer, but the perfect place for those with more experienced palates. We will be back!”

“My grill cheese was Excellent as always.You guys are AWESOME.”

“Great food, my favorite place in Culpeper. Chicken tacos are amazing. Thanks La Chiapaneca! <3”

“Best breakfast meals that I’ve ever had in Culpeper! Love this place!”

“Love this place. Amazing food options and fantastic acoustic music upstairs to heighten the dining experience. There is always something new and seasonal on the menu and the staff is very attentive. Make sure to make this a stop on your tour through Culpeper if you are coming through town.”

“Good beer and good food. Visited on a Saturday so they didn't have pitchers of beer it was only by the glass. The menus were over the bar. You order at the bar and take a seat. They have hightop seating, booths and tables outside. The have darts in the back. Dogs are welcome. Owners are very nice.”

“Yummy Raspberry Margarita! Food is excellent as well!”

“Great food, my favorite place in Culpeper. Chicken tacos are amazing. Thanks La Chiapaneca! <3”

“Friendly, family run, feels like home, plenty of relaxing places to hang out. Been going there for over 20 years. Love the place.”

“Enjoyed my Summertime Chai.”

“Everything is delicious!!! Friendly staff!!! Awesome owners!!! Stop by soon and see for yourself!!!”

“Loved this store. Has a nice mix of local items and general healthy foods plus a very impressive candy, jams, and baked goods. The chicken salad from the deli was clearly fresh and so delicious. I’m mad I didn’t buy more of it. While we were just visiting the area that weekend, I’d happily take the couple hour drive to come back (specifically for the chicken salad and candy!)”

“Stopped in last night and tried the new hand scooped flavors! They were all delicious and the staff was super friendly!”

“Bailey is an amazing woman! Staff was super friendly. Cookies were amazing!!! Definitely tell your family/friends to go visit & see what the hype is about! 🙂🍪🎉”

“*warning: this is not the correct address, they are located in Orange*Absolutely loved the donuts and so did my coworkers! They made a special delivery to Culpeper since I couldn't drive out to Orange. Faith in humanity has been restored.”

“This Coffee car truly makes the best coffee compared to any chain such as Starbucks or Dunkin! Their coffee is always delicious, made with love in a cheerful and friendly work environment, and given back to the person who ordered it swiftly!”

“I looked everywhere for a local made Caramel Cake for my wife's birthday. I called Knakal and was told they made it. They sell it in 2 or 3 layers. I ordered the 3 layers and drove over 90 miles to pick it up. It was worth the drive! The cake and icing were moist and excellent. When I arrived, I told the lady at the counter it was for my wife's birthday. She turned and went in the back about 5 minutes and returned with Happy Birthday and 2 flowers inscribed on the cake. The cake was DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. Such a great southern treat!”

“We went to Los Potrillos after hearing about it from locals. Wide variety on the menu. Don't let the location or inside scare you away. Greeted and served by young lady at the counter. She was helpful with descriptions and menu you choices. We had the Gringa, Enchiladas Verde and a Gordita. You will not walk out hungry.”

“always love going here, enchiladas are good, and so are the street tacos”

“One of my favorite, if not the absolute best, places in Culpepper!! The chef is Italian and cooks everything from scratch. Not a microwave in the joint. We couldn't believe how good the food was. We come here every time we pass through on the way to Lake Anna. The cocktails are also on point, with a prohibition flare. There is great history here too! Ask for Sam, she's either bartending or serving tables. You won't regret it!”

“Stopped to grab a quick coffee as we were traveling and stayed for over an hour! Great coffee and delicious danish, even better company and conversation!! They also welcomed our dog inside and gave her the best treat she'd ever had. A wonderful unexpected gem near the hotels. Thank you!”

“The food is very good but they seem to close earlier than what is posted online.”

“Love the quesadillas, great place to take the family. Ronnie and Maria are the best.”

“We love Green Ribbon, wonderful food and excellent service. They go above and beyond to provide your wants and needs! Can’t visit them enough!”

“The most Authentic Mexican Food in Northern Virginia must try I dare you!”

“Had lunch today at Luigi’s with Classmates! Our headcount kept changing but they were so nice & said all would be ok. There were 18 of us & all able to be close together in catching up! Food was delicious & all being served same time! Thank you so much for making our impromptu gathering a huge success! See you again soon!”

“Was a bit skeptical walking in. Decor is not why I'm here however a little goes a long way. Too many fake flowers, real plants add warmth. Had shrimp tacos and salad. Food and service were excellent. Will definitely come back. Quick, quiet lunch place”

“Great service and friendly staff”

“Wonderful place to eat. Food is excellent and always fresh. Prices are very reasonable and great value for money. I have been a customer since 2015 and the quality only gets better. I highly recommend their Rueben - it is the best in Culpeper!!”

“The food is amazing. It's an easy stop off Rt 29 and the staff very helpful. The place was spotless. I wanted to bring home one of everything!”

“Torta de carne asada !!😋😋”

“Don’t let the negative reviews keep you from great pizza! The pizza here is great! We almost didn’t visit, but are so thankful we did! This is a no fluff place, with a “hole in the wall” vibe. The pizza was honestly, the best pizza in this town. Crust was fantastic with great flavor, sauce was great with hints of basil, and the cheese was perfect. Not a thing wrong. Quit bashing this place, as if you could do it better. Instead be nice, and if you’ve never been — it’s totally worth it. To the owners — we came because of the negative reviews. Glad we did! First timers and we’ll be back and will further encourage others! Thank you for great pizza!”

“I would give it two stars. I ordered the hamburger medium rare and it came very well done. I asked if I could have the house salad without the blue cheese and I was told I could, but it came with blue cheese. No waiter ever came back to our table to ask if everything was all right. I had to flag down a waiter to return the salad with the bled cheese. A waiter did show up after we finished eating to refill our water glasses and to inquire whether we wanted to order dessert.”

“We have loved Rhonda’s hot dogs for years and because they are so tasty and because of her outstanding customer service, she is a “regular” at all of our special events here at Bees & Trees Farm! While we love several of her dawgs, this newest one (with the avocado) is OUTSTANDING! Never would I have put these flavors together, but they create such a party in your mouth you just HAVE to try it!! It comes spicy or hot! Check this bad boy out—thank us later 😉”

“Tops China, always does a great job!”

“Their hot cocoa is delicious and the owner was very kind, welcoming, & helpful!”

“Such a cute little gem in Culpepper! Sushi was HUGE portions. Very filling. Priced very reasonably for sushi especially for portions. It’s takes a lot to rate sushi a 5 for me. Maybe if there was just a little less sauce it would be a 5, and I technically didn’t try the fish so can’t fully rate yet.

Will be back if I’m in town, so glad I stopped.”

“!!BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN AREA!! Having lived 45 years in Los Angeles where authentic Mexican food is king, I can honestly say that this restaurant surpassed all expectations. Don't let the small size of this restaurant fool you. What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in food and service. The food was hot and excellent. The young woman who waited on my was professional and courteous. One thing besides food and customer service, that makes or breaks a restaurant with me is cleanliness. Sparkling clean. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Bahia Salgados LLC is a very dependable business which caters Brazilian tasty finger food with precision and quality. Her founder and CEO is a very responsible and capable individual that has set her priorities in producing quality products and excellent customer service to her clientele. We have continuously ordered finger food from Bahia Salgados LLC along the years and have never been disappointed. We highly recommend Bahia Salgados LLC with no reservations.”

“was just here for lunch for the first time. the amazing woman that took my order seriously made my horrible day of disasters a million times better and she didn't have to. top notch service.”

“What a nice lady! The cake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted, she was very open to do what I wanted and great prices! She got to my house to set up the cake on time and was so sweet to my family and daughter. Will be having her make my cakes from now on. Highly recommend.”

“Awesome food! You must stop by there! 😍”

“Great place, good bar drinks and nice managers”

“Friendly service and great atmosphere”

“If you’re ever find yourself driving through VA, you NEED to detour to Culpepper and stop here! Bbq was on point! Smoke ring on the ribs and brisket was perfect! Nice bark and crust on the ribs. The green beans, Mac n cheese and coleslaw are perfect! Cornbread was similar to a corn casserole type and was delicious! The Santa Fe Quesadilla had the best cheese pull I’ve ever had with a quesadilla, delicious and was flavorful with each ranch sauce they gave! the pulled pork was melt in your mouth!! And to top it off YOU have to end your feasting with the Banana Pudding! OMG it was so divine and one of the best banana puddings I have ever had at a bbq establishment! 10/10 would recommend!!”

“The food was absolutely delicious. The waiter was wonderful. The music and atmosphere were pleasant. I will definitely be returning for more memories that need to be made there.”

“Ate here and the food is amazing. The only thing I could remotely complain about is the chips,they're paper thin. Overall,it's a pretty nice place to eat. Thanks Dylan for recommending.”

“Great food quick service can’t wait to go back! 🌮🌮🌮🌮”

“Been coming to the 4Cs for several years after church on Sunday and for evening dinners from time to time and their service has always been fantastic and this family owned restaurant has great personality!”

“Always seen mangochon snacks on the road going home. So I finally went and stopped by for a quick snack. Love the peaceful vibes and the foods super delicious and fresh 🥳”

“Best Little Caesar’s around. Great customer service and one of the best tasting pizzas around!”

“We were there this friday June 23 2023 We had a new waiter been there 2 days was very pleasant and like his job. Our food was excellent. We have been there many times and we had a few bad things but very few. All our waitress have been very good. But the gentleman that been there 2 days if I had a restaurant I would have hired him and help him make his career with my company the best. He very eager to learn. We ask him question that he didn't know but he went straight and found out and was right back. When he was at the table I told him he was doing a great job. I would like for you he is appreciated by his customer. Thank you Joe and Patti”

“Great place great people. Had family get together for daughters wedding. They made it effortlessly amazing. Will be back every time I am in Culpeper. TY”

“always very nice and fresh food.”

“The last two times I have gotten there steak and cheese sub it has been realy good.Makes me think they are doing something different.”

“Food was great. Went back a 2nd time and was a little disappointed because they didn't have chopped boiled eggs on bar for my salad, but that was only due to the issues going on with eggs. I'll go again, but call and check if they have eggs on the bar 1st. Lol. It's a 35 minute drive for me.”

“GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE ! NICE ATMOSPHERE !”

“Yummy”

“Our go to place for pizza and subs. Highly recommend the steak quesadillas!”

“This Chick-Fil-A has been on point for the last 10+ years. The other day I ordered 4, 12 count grilled chicken nuggets with side salads (truthfully, I wanted the fried but I was trying to be good 😉). On the way to my destination I ate my grilled nuggets - Delicious! When I opened up the bag, (now mind you I NEVER check to make sure I have everything, they are always on point) there were 3, 12 count fried nuggets. Well, I guess the good Lord knew what I really wanted and blessed me 3-fold. We ate them & enjoyed every bite!”

“From this point forward, i will never go here as a customer again. Accepted an order at 9:26p.m. and arrived about 10 mins later to pick up a larger order for a customer. had my drivers license in hand and showed the employee the order info on my phone and i was told that they didnt have an order for the customer. i called the customer to inform them of this, and then staff claimed someone else, a dasher, had picked it up already. i was speaking with the customers husband who told his wife, the one who placed the order a few minutes before 9:00p.m., who wasnt happy about spending $140.00 and not receiving their order, nor was there any notifications that a previous dasher had picked it up. i conducted myself in a professional manner while of them were on the line with me, and the other with management. i asked if it could be remade and to speak with the manager while customer was on the line. the manager on duty, then came back out and very unprofessionaly accused us of attempting fraud and stating they would remake it only if a new order was placed, resulting in the customer having to spend another $140, while waiting for a refund from doordash, and was simply mad because i notified the customer, to try and resolve the issue at hand and get their food to them, which doordash wouldve instructed me to do. ive been doing this a few years now and have enough deliveries under my belt to know. manager was just trying to get me on my way to cover up what likely happened was that they close at 10p.m., the order had been there for a bit and they probably cancelled it because items on their order were being talked about around the window where orders are handed off to servers to be bagged as well. to my own credit, and customer can vouch becuase they heard everything id said on their end, and the manager looked like shed seenna ghost when i asked her myself "i was unprofessional to staff? and asked if id ever so much raised my voice, talked to them in a condescending manner the way she did to me and the customer on the phone, very rudely, or say a single curse word?" when i didnt.. and customer then told me to not worry about it any more and they appreciated me going out of the way to try and get their order to them, and time spent as well. and gave me their number to personally call them once i was done working because they wanted to make sure i was taken care of for that as well, despite not getting their order. cooperaten will be notified, but id clearly suggest training your staff on refining their interpersonal skills in an environment like this, or step down if they cannot handle the responsibility that comes with it.”
