Foster’s Grille

Good wings and fries, great service even after the snowstorm!!! Thanks!!!

I am very lucky that i am find this Burger
the food is just awesome. staff are very knowledgable on their work. Tnx owner.

Burger joint, food tasted alright, nice people and had a private area we could use for the kids soccer team.

The food here is great. the service is horrendous.
I’d gladly give a full 5 starts for the food, but unfortunately the very poor customer service takes away all those stars.
The fries are hand cut and amazing. They even have malt vinegar on the tables for the fries and it’s oh so yummy. I really enjoy the garden burger. it’s better fried than grilled, somehow it gets tough and chewy on the outer edges if grilled.
The kitchen staff always appear to be working hard and cleanly.
Sadly the counter/​wait/​manager staff are snippy and borderline rude. They always seem to have their attention elsewhere, and do not like to be asked questions. Ideally you’d go in knowing exactly what you want to order and ideally that would not include a milkshake. Ordering a milkshake is too much work for the counter staff (they are the ones making it) and you’ll feel like you just asked them to scrub the floors with a deck brush on their hands and knees.
It’s almost impossible to get someone to answer the phone for a call in order.
The Foster’s in Marshall does not have these customer service issues at all.
The restaurant and restrooms are always clean and there is plenty of parking space!

If you’re looking for a hockey puck to gnaw on, Foster’s is your place. The burgers were SO overcooked as to be inedible. Even our son (who likes fast food) didn’t want to eat his burger.

Stopped by this evening and had the daily special — a chiliburger and fries. The fries were great as usual, and the sandwich was good. (Chili was nothing special, as someone else pointed out, but it went well with the burger.) I have probably been here 8 – 10 times over the past year, and I got the impression tonight that they were trying a little harder to please. The place seemed cleaner and in better repair than in the past, the burgers were cooked just right — not overcooked as they too often were previously. The wait staff was also more attentive and friendly, walking around asking customers if they needed anything else. Oh, and they have hard cider on tap now. Give them a try — it’s a pretty good burger.

Char burger was charred way past edible. Chili was disgusting, tasted canned and like it had been sitting all day. The fries were ok without the chili and the only part of the meal we found palatable wax the boneless wings. Bathrooms were clean. Can’t see ourselves returning.

You get a decent burger here.
Not quite 5 Guys but not too bad for Warrenton.

Service. It’s all about the service. I don’t care if you’ve got the best burger ever — if you make it hard to get — I’m not going to be a happy customer. Sure enough, I left unhappy.
When you couple Foster’s arcane ordering system with particularly inattentive employees the result is going to be frustrating.
If you’ve never been to Foster’s, ordering food there is bizarre. You fill out a paper order sheet with what you want and hand it to a cashier who then enters your order into the computer and collects your cash. And this is better than me just telling the cashier what I want? How? Adding complexity to a simple process is never a good idea.
On my last visit, I happened to fall in line behind a mom with six kids (each with a separate order sheet!) at a register being manned by an inexperienced employee while two other employees watched that one struggle.
Maybe someday one of Foster’s owners will go to a WaWa or Sheetz and take a look at their touch screen ordering system and it’ll hit them — «Wow! Look at this efficient ordering system!» «Let’s do this!»
Then, I’ll be back. But not until then.

A friend and I stopped here on the way through Virginia on Thursday afternoon for lunch. It is a cute place with lots of décor. You order up front using a paper list that you give to the staff and they bring your food to you. There was lots of seating inside but we chose to sit outside as it was a nice day. I had an excellent veggie burger that was perfectly crisp on the outside and succulent on the inside, and my friend had the bbq hotdog which he enjoyed. He thought the fries were good but I thought they were so-​so. A little bit pricier than I was expecting (~$ 6 for a veggie burger with no fries/​drink) and that is probably because it is next to a hotel. Food service could be slightly quicker but everything was clearly made to order, so no biggie. Good place to stop on your way through town.

Lunch service is very slow and it wasn’t that crowded. A hot dog and bowl of chili cost= over $ 10 which is expensive for this type of place. 45 minutes later and I still hadn’t received my order. Kind of greasy spoon type burger joint. Very confused kitchen, guy up front has to constantly fix screwed up orders and they DO serve people at the same table at widely varied times. We ended up asking for our money back and going somewhere else because our hot dog still hadn’t made it to the grill. People beside us were just as PO’d. Do not recommend this place because I didn’t even get to taste the food.

We used to go here for lunch semi-​often & they’re usually pretty busy. The burgers are pretty good & so are the fries, but it is very greasy. The food comes out in an ok amount of time, but don’t go expecting super fast service. I typically get the kid’s menu (lite fare as they call it) because it’s smaller portions of the food. There is an outdoor patio you can sit on if the weather is nice or you can sit at the bar area.

All my coworkers seem to be obsessed with this place and always want to eat here. But the few times I’ve been with them, I’m always left feeling… well, meh. I’ve experienced better. To be fair, I don’t eat meat, so I’ve never sampled the burgers. But my two-​star rating is based on several encounters with the (poor) service here, which is really quite important to me in a dining experience.
Foster’s is a burger joint, and not much more, so they pay very little attention to non-​burger menu items. The first time I went with friends, I was excited to see a veggie burger on the menu! How thoughtful. But when I stepped up to the counter and happily asked for the veggie burger, the girl at the register snorted, «We don’t have those any more.» Really? Maybe you should remove it from the menu then. Her dismissive «you’re so annoying» attitude really put me off. Service could definitely use some polishing. I ended up ordering a salad which was boring and uninspired. Kind of like McDonald’s, only even McDonald’s has gotten with the program and is serving more interesting ones.
Service is consistently slow here. You order and then find a seat to wait for them to bring the food out. I usually find we’re waiting quite awhile, tho. And then the food’s brought out little by little, so everyone’s eating at all different times. That always frustrates me at a restaurant — timing is everything in a kitchen, from a Michelin-​rated dining room to a lowly burger joint. Not really a fan of this place.

How can you not love Foster’s Grille? If you’ve never been here, you simply have to check them out. (Other locations are in Marshall and Haymarket.)
Foster’s has burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken sandwiches, wings, salads, and other staples of quick American food but they are known for their burgers and fries. They also have a daily special, usually a combo of some type, and killer milkshakes.
