“ Last week, we met with some friends out in Charles City County for a dinner out at Cul's Courthouse Grille. Now, I apologize for the lack of photos for this review! We were chatting and carrying on and having such a fun time that I didn't want to stop and take photos. When we first arrived, parking was easy to find and plentiful. We were greeted at the door immediately by who I believe was the owner's son. Right away, chairs were flying all around to make a table for a party of nine. The chairs around the table were mismatched in the most charming way. It was as if each person had a personalized seat. The wooden booths were lined with overstuffed cushions, and looked inviting. No sooner than we were seated, we were offered menus and drinks. The menu was quite creative and inviting! My husband decided on a cider to start his evening, which he enjoyed. It was delicious! It wasn't too sweet, as hard ciders go. So, our friend ordered the fried green tomatoes and onion rings for the table to share. What an exciting time it was for my husband who had never tried fried green tomatoes before! Both appetizers hit the mark on being golden brown and delicious. The crispiness of the onion rings and fried green tomatoes made for a satisfying crunch. The sauces with each were perfect for added flavor. And again, our appetizer plates were adorably mismatched. This made for a true family dinner feel! When it was time for the main course, the same gentleman who seated us, served us. Chatty as we were, he asked us to please quiet down for a moment so he could make an announcement. I felt a little bad, as I didn't want to be rude to this kind man, so I immediately quit talking. "Everyone enjoy your dinner!" he cheered as he finished dropping off the last few plates of food. What a warm welcome! For dinner, both my husband and I ordered a favorite: the cheeseburger. Charred flavor, melted cheddar, and toppings united for a flavorful, juicy burger experience. And the seasoned fries were just that! Crispy and delicious. As we were winding down our evening, the owner of the Grille came over to our table to chat with us. She was a pleasure to chat with! Even the restroom had personality - it was decorated with festive white lights, some charming fabrics, and a full-length mirror. You can't say we weren't treated like family at Cul's Courthouse Grille - because we were! From the minute we stepped foot in the door until we left, Cul's welcomed us. . ”
“ Our Family Gathering met here and SO enjoyed the place, the people and the food! The staff was VERY efficient and the cook certainly was very talented, as we LOVED our SUMMER SALAD which included Mandalin oranges, strawberries, grilled chicken and many other selections, with tasty dressing options to go with it. And the Peach Cobbler made dessert a fabulous close-out for this wonderful choice of "Where to meet?" The drive from Williamsburg was a beautiful drive, given the beautiful day. I look forward to our next visit here! ”
“ Stopped by for an early Saturday lunch and tried a few new dishes. Food: Lobster Bisque was still delicious as last time but it cooled very quickly. I love my soup hot, so next time I might ask for them to heat it up hot! Chicken wings-very good and the one sauce was flavorful. Good ranch and blue cheese as well as it came with carrots and celery. Fried green tomatoes-nice and crispy coating. Crabcake sandwich-not much filler (barely any) lots of crab! Also came with a pasta salad that was good. Our server was sweet and checked on us often. Brought my husband a sample of a beer on tap to make sure he liked it. The owner even stopped by and talked a little football with my husband and made sure our meal was good. The restaurant is in an old house and literally has a homey feel. There is a small bar and it's not overly large inside, altogether about 8 tables. The bathroom is also large one stall! Food www still great 10 months later and will stop by when driving through. ”
“ We had looked of for a place to eat after fishing & came across this place. Parking was kinda small but alot of ppl in & out so it wasn't to bad. They had lady singing out on the patio. A lot of ppl ate outside today. We came in, order our food. Everything was very good. Only thing we didn't care for was the stares but oh well. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch with family. It's a pretty cool old country store turned into a restaurant. It's got casual good vibes. Food was delicious, I had a burger specifically. A decent little draft list. Fun place. ”
“ Update: Have been here every time we visit the area, but haven't reviewed in a while... This place is still awesome. The food is fresh and homemade. The table of 4 next to us each got a different meal and were raving about it so much, they passed their plates around the table so they could each take a bite. So funny! Today we ate outside on their great little side patio. We tried the homemade chocolate mousse cake which was incredible. Eric waited on us and he was not only attentive, but extremely personable. Hubby enjoyed the selection of area brews available. Highly recommend! ”
