The downtown dining scene in Culpeper has recently become aimed at the many yuppies now in the area. If you want a good meal at a nice place, be prepared to pay for it. The older restaurants whose customer base consisted of the farmers and their families who came into town are long gone.

The places downtown, Foti's, Piedmont Steak and It's About Thyme, are decent but do cost more than the chains. Most locals don't even go there. Outside of downtown, Glory Days is one of the better chain restaurants and Osaka's is a decent Japanese-ish place. As a lifelong resident, I still enjoy Country Cookin'.

Culpeper Thia........the best Thia I've had state side. Good ambience/price, very friendly staff and heavily patronized by yuppies and normal people.

Wasn't looking to have to pay more than $50 for two people. Any non-chains outside the downtown area? |

Your best bet is to park in the municipal lot by the depot and take a nice stroll down Davis St and take a gander, many good eats and may be some specials running. "It's about Thyme (Euro cuisine is nice, has a patio area and even a deli....also located by Knackels Bakery for a walk and dessert in the park. If all the Stuff on Davis St seems too rich hook a left on Main St and you have very good Thia and I think there is new rustic BBQ place too. You can spend the $ on food and then get some great free entertainment: Packard Theater |

I usually like to have a plan already in place, but I think Saturday will be a good day to just walk around and eyeball a good place to go into. |

It's About Thyme is the best of the 4 main restaurants downtown, but it is expensive. Foti's, Hazel River Inn, Piedmont Steakhouse (on the backside of the block) are all quality restaurants. Culpeper Thai has fantastic Thai for the middle of nowhere. If you are looking for a little less money there are two restaurants a few miles west of downtown on 522 that are worth checking out. Both are in the same shopping center and both are good. Shawn's Smokehouse BBQ Company Atheneans Restaurant |

Another vote for Shawn's BBQ on Sperryville Turnpike. It's right outside the 'downtown' area and is pretty much the best BBQ I have had outside of Texas.
We typically get the sampler platter for $30 (for the wife and I). We ALWAYS have enough food left over for dinner.

A little ways out of town on Rt 29 in Madison if you like German food. You can go do the wine tasting thing nearby at Prince Michel Winery on 29 closer to Culpeper.

Get a gang to go hiking in the mountains all day and then gorge on heavy German food in the evening

And I get to wander through the Gray Ghost next door, never know what I might not be able to live without.

Ended up at lucios, as the lady was feeling Italian.
We passed a few of the places mentioned while walking around. About thyme looked to have a much older crowd. the tai place will most likely be put on the short list of places to visit next. |

No mention of the German restaurant Rathskullers(spelling?) that is in the basement of Hazel River Inn? It is a good place. Don't waste your time at the Bavarian Chef. It's to German food what Taco Bell is to mexican food.

That's pretty cool of Shawn's! I can't say I'm too overly surprised concerning Mcdonalds. It is the lower echelon of fast food, even if they have tried to improve their image by 'fancying' up their buildings.

A few years back I would fill in for a bank in culpeper part time, usually just 2 or 3 weeks a summer, and the people from knakal's would occasionally bring us a box of doughnuts. Omg
