Country Cookin - Culpeper

Delicious comfort food that truly satisfies! The macaroni and cheese is a must-try, packed with at least four different types of cheese. Even the carrots were surprisingly tasty. You won’t find mashed potatoes and gravy like this in many places. We will definitely return. I just wish the country cooking restaurant in Orange, Virginia would open again!

The prices are excessive considering the portion sizes. Our food arrived cold, and we received only about half of what you'd expect for the price. The prices range from $5 to $10 more than they should be. Save your money and choose a different restaurant.

What a disappointing reopening! This restaurant missed the mark in every way. The food was both undercooked and overcooked, and the service was extremely slow. The place was dirty and seemed unchanged from before. Save your time and avoid this spot; it likely won't last much longer.

Some background, my wife and I used to love Country Cooking pre-pandemic), so when we learned they were reopening we had to go. We waited for 30+ minutes to get in as the line was out the door and this were the fun came to an end. Let’s start with being seated at a wet table with no menus, or silverware. It took forever but after about 15-20 minutes our waitress showed up. We got menus and a our drinks ordered. 15 minutes goes by and we get 2 flat cokes, 2 flat diet cokes, 1 flat Mello Yello $15 wasted). We also get to place our orders. Country fried steak w/ baked potato, meatloaf w/ sweet potato and 3 kids meals. We all head to the salad bar, and find its half full. The eggs were frozen into a giant block and the lettuce was browning… We were all disappointed but made due. We get back to the table and still have no silverware. I find the waitress and let her know. The food comes in an expected time. The meatloaf was smaller than my kids kids burger, room temperature, and didn’t taste much better. The sweet potato came plane and very small, the smallest one I had ever seen. We got the waitress to get some butter and brown sugar. The country fried steak was the same size as the kids burger, room temperature, but at least it tasted okay. The potato was small like red potato small, cold, so when the butter arrived it wouldn’t melt. The kids food was no better I am not getting into that, let’s say I stopped at McDonald’s on the way home. We all went to get desert. Nothing but tapioca putting. I spent over $65 dollars about $30 more than I used to spend), got about half the food, the food was not good or cold. The service was slow very slow. The waitress was nice, but that doesn’t excuse the performance. My wife refuses to return and I am with her on this.

I also noticed that they have different specials during the week. On Mondays, kids eat free with the purchase of one adult meal (up to two kids can eat free), which is a fantastic deal for parents like me. However, unlike other buffets, you are not allowed to take any leftovers home. Overall, I had a very positive experience, and the prices were quite reasonable. I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Country Cookin!
