3rd Generations Grill — Restaurant in Waynesboro

February 6, 2025 - I’d like to give a “ 4.75 rating” . . . but this app won’t allow me ! Overall, it’s a good pub, good food, and great service!

My wife & I walked in , a big call out, “ Welcome” from Josh, who greeted us! 😃👍🏼 Sit anywhere, not crowded. As we looked over the beer & wine list. . . I noticed craft beers 🍺 😃👍🏼 , but No dark beers ! Nut brown ales, medium bodied ? They did have Guinness. Hopefully they can add a few darker beers.

After ordering, we looked the place over. A good size circular bar counter. Maybe 12 to 15 tables scattered about , with a corner reserved for live music. Every Friday & Saturday night from 7 to 10 pm local bands play a variety of music. No admission, and I hear . . . there’s lots of dancing!

Back to food, Josh brought our steamed SHRIMP 🍤 as our appetizer! 1 pound of shrimp cooked with an Old Bay spice. So yummy! My wife said her Chicken Caesar wrap was Very good! Then my Crimora arrived, w/braised beef, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, and herb aioli on sourdough bread! Excellent sandwich, that dips & licks the Au Jus sauce! Delicious! 😃👍🏼. My Kolsch beer, 🍺 would be a better spring & summer selection, but it’s winter in February . . .

Kudos to owners Chris & Mark Allen in Waynesboro ( VA), their pub offers good food, good service , music & dancing. I’d wish for a darker & heavier ales & porters in winter...

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at 3rd Generations Grill, and it was an evening to remember. From the moment we walked in, the laid-back atmosphere set the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable meal. The walls were adorned with vintage music posters that sparked some fun nostalgia, and the live music from a talented local band added the perfect soundtrack to our dinner.

We started with the Homestyle Hush Puppies, which were warm, crisp, and paired beautifully with a sweet spread that added just the right contrast. However, the standout from the appetizer list was without a doubt the Deviled Eggs. Filled with an Adobe Chipotle mixture and topped with Maple Candied Bacon, they were easily the best we’ve ever had—bold, smoky, sweet, and creamy all in one perfect bite.

For our main course, we went with the Fish Basket, which featured lightly breaded rockfish served with fries and coleslaw. The fish was tender and flavorful, with a crisp coating that didn’t overpower. The fries were golden and satisfying, and the coleslaw was fresh and tangy.

3rd Generations Grill impressed us with both their food and atmosphere. It’s a place we’ll definitely return to—and bring...

I've been coming here for many years through many changes. I do miss all of the sandwiches they made that were named after local towns. I like the creativity different deli like sandwiches. * They have started bringing them back since the last review. That being said, I like this place and the food options. The food is always good, the drinks are well made and the beer changes. That last part can be frustrating but keeping stouts etc. in the summer is pointless so I understand. I can always find something I enjoy with my meal. The staff of great and, live music on weekends and a relaxed atmosphere that is still child friendly. A bar that is a repurposed bowling alley is a nice touch as well. As a fan of a good burger with an equally good beer this is always an option. There is also everything from shrimp to several kinds of tacos. Damn good fish and chips etc.. Any place with live music with an outside seating area and many other seating options, give this...
