The food is good diner fare fora very reasonable price. My family would frequent this dinner and we absolutely LOVED Bobbie and the excellent service she gave! We're sad to say we won't be returning without her there.

Super experience having a Veterans Day breakfast at Frost Cafe. Frost has the ambiance of a legit main street cafe. Really attentive professional staff. Our orders came out quick hot and better than described. And oh yes. Delicious!

Simple food served with a smile. Prices were very low! I give the four stars for the value and good food. Don't come expecting anything fancy. The service was good. The atmosphere is what you expect from an old diner. Good place to drop in, get a hotdog and chips with drink. And drop 10$ with tip for the tro

First time stopping by this gem on the corner. As has been written in publications such as the Washington Post or the Virginia Tourism guide, this diner transports you back to the 1950's in its charm and style. For a Wednesday at lunch, it was pretty busy only having two available booths but ample barstool seating. After looking through the menu, I settled on the Tuna Melt with a side of onion rings. The rye bread was grilled perfectly and tasted great with the American cheese and tuna. The onion rings were great too with the almost soup like bowl of honey mustard haha. Also ordered in our party was French toast made with Texas toast and a BLT with Macaroni salad. Both agreed that their meals were delicious. I finished off my meal with a chocolate milk shake to go. It was delicious! While prices have increased since someone last posted menu photos, it was still reasonable and worth it. The three of us had full meals and I a dessert for only $40 which is great considering how things are presently. Overall, Frost is a great spot to grab lunch before walking around historic Culpeper. Main Street has a ton of stores to explore!

Reasonably priced, quaint cafe in town of Culpeper. Place was busy and casual. It's a seat yourself sort of place if area was clean or stand by it till it was. Looked like locals spot and folks outside said it was the best. Good food and service. Friendly staff. Would go again if I'm town

I visited the Frost Cafe for the first time last week for breakfast. Not a lot of parking - so had to circle the block to find a place to park. Upon entering - you have two seating choices: Sitting at the counter - or a booth. No stand-alone tables. I opted to sit at the counter. I ordered up some Blueberry pancakes, plus Corned beef hash (extra crispy), two eggs (over easy) and a side of bacon, plus coffee. As always - upon seeing Corned beef hash on a menu - I inquired if it were scratch-made. The answer from the line cook was no. She then told me that at some point in the distant past - they offered scratch-made Corned beef hash - but no one ever ordered it. My guess is that is because it wasn't very good - because if you execute a scratch made Corned beef hash well - people will beat your door down to get to it... Everything was your standard diner-grade, greasy spoon deliciousness. The pancakes were tasty, the eggs were cooked properly, the corned beef hash was nice and crispy (and plentiful), and the bacon was of course tasty! Service was good - I would eat breakfast here again! #FrostCafe

I love this little diner. It's exactly what you'd expect. Cheap food that's pretty good! I ordered a fried bologna sandwich with French fries. Their French fries are SO GOOD! Nice and crispy. The fried bologna sandwich hit the spot. Their coleslaw is very creamy and I really enjoyed it! If you order a Cheeseburger, they don't ask you how you would like it cooked, so it'll normally come out well done (and if that's how you'd order it, then it's perfect). All in all, a nice little stop if you live in and around Culpeper.

I don't know if it was because I had been craving a legitimate diner breakfast or if this place is just so freakn good. Grabbed seats at the counter and got to watch our food being made. Melted butter on the griddle and heading the sizzling just made me swoon. The chicken fried steak was cooked to perfection. Potatoes weren't the best I've had but they were still delicious. Eggs were done the way I like them. My friend also ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy. So worth the price! We also got French toast and I would definitely go back for some as well. Highly recommend if you're ever in culpepper!
