Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Grass Rootes opened in the spring of 2016 in the oldest commercial building in Culpeper, Virginia. Throughout its history, the building has been used as a tobacco warehouse, a tin shop, stables, Civil War jail for both the Union and Confederacy and a hardware store. It is said that the ghosts of soldiers and slaves still roam through the building. Respecting the building roots, Grass Rootes restaurant retained the old exposed brick wall and covered them with photographs of Culpeper from different eras. Bright cushions on the red banquettes along the wall create cozy, inviting atmosphere. The basement is brought back to the original 19th century jail look and now serves as space for private parties. Grass Rootes serves simple, small menu of exquisite dishes made from scratch from local seasonal ingredients. Everything is literally brought from local farms to the guests’ tables. Special attention is paid to the guests with special nutritional needs. Local musicians perform on certain nights.
