Luca's Italian Restaurant: Italian for breakfast?

by b1bob

Providence Forge, or anywhere in New Kent County, for that matter, isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think of Italian food. Luca's Italian Restaurant doesn't look Italian from the outside despite the red, white, and green sign. In fact, it's a struggle to find it even on Route 60 east. The key landmark to look for is a shopping centre with a Food Lion cattywampus from it. The New Kent Republicans were allocated a portion of the restaurant one Saturday morning when the lieutenant governor and the local delegate were there to speak. Being an Italian restaurant, I was expecting maybe biscotti and coffee for breakfast. However, it was a more americanised buffet-style breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, grits, and breakfast potatoes. With the lieutenant governor and the local delegate as guest speakers, some folks almost had to be turned away...

Rose's Crab House and Raw Bar: A tolerable second choice

by b1bob

Rose's Crab House was our second choice. Lee was so intent on taking Christian and me to Smokin' Joe's Barbecue for lunch. He was angry to find it closed on Sundays. However, he found us a good second choice. When you think of the Northern Neck, you think of seafood, specifically crab. Rose's was decorated with nautical themes, like you find at many nice seafood restaurants. The decor was only slightly overdone. This restaurant has a case of the cutes. On its loo doors, instead of saying ladies and gentlemen they have buoys and gulls. Beam me up! That type of decor could even by material for a stand up comedian. Lee made fun of me all day long for having taken the picture. Aside from that the food was great and the service was attentive. Rose's is a little pricey at supper, but it is very reasonable at lunch. I had the crab omelet which simply consisted of eggs, cheese, and crab meat....

Smithfield Confectionary and Ice Cream Parlor: We all scream "ice-cream"

by k_k_g

Smithfield Confectionary and Ice Cream Parlor is a top notch ice cream parlor where I had the best ice cream that I ever had on my vacation in the US and that means a lot coming from me since I’m really not an American ice-cream fan but more a Italian ice-cream fan. The style makes the store very cozy and it seems that you jumped back to the ’50’s, plus the portions are huge…slurp!!! Oh, you can also order sandwiches if you would like to dine there.

Virginia Diner: Virginia Diner

by b1bob

Though the Virginia Diner has become popular for folks who travel along Route 460 from Richmond to Tidewater, the Virginia Diner hasn't let it go to its head. That is, the menu and prices haven't gone upmarket and it retains its small-town diner atmosphere that has served it well since 1929. That shows in the friendly and fast service and in the portions. Since Wakefield is in the heart of peanut country, it isn't that surprising that Virginia Diner would have peanuts for sale in its gift shop. barbecue & chicken 2 pieces of Southern fried chicken and vinegar-based pulled pork barbecue. I am also keen on their Brunswick stew.

LEGENDS BREWHOUSE: PAC 10 VT MEET

by mtncorg

Voted the best outside deck in Richmond, Virginia, Legends Brewhouse does off a spectacular view out over the James River and the Richmond skyline. I had an great opportunity to meet up with VT’s own Hopkid here as we discussed life on the Right Coast of America over some tasty burgers and good beer. The place is a popular place with locals hidden away over in South Richmond.Go Bears? Beer and burgers!

BISTROT BELGIQUE GOURMANDE IN OCCOQUAN: A VIRTUAL TOURIST FEAST!

by mtncorg

Occoquan is a small town with an old history just south of Alexandria and Washington, D.C.. The town has preserved its small historic core as a collection of popular shops and restaurants laid out along the Occoquan River. As can be seen on the edge of town, Occoquan developed as a result of waterpower, lying on the fall line. A new freeway bridge adds a overwhelming sense of unreality to the setting.What brought me here was the chance to share a meal and a fresh Leffe blonde beer on draft with VT member travelfrosch and his lovely wife, Sara. A great way to end an afternoon of wandering about in the nearby forests of Prince William Forest Park and a chance to have one of Belgium’s great culinary delights - steamed mussels. The restaurant is not very large, but with good weather there is a delightful outside sitting area. The food is good, the beer superb and the company...

Buster's Steakhouse: Good food in the middle of nowhere

by b1bob

Lee and I had intended to eat supper at Sheldon's in Keysville. Due to our later than planned departure, we were dodgy on whether we would make Keysville before their 9pm closing. We had just made Amelia by 8. Despite having a late lunch, I was getting hungry, so Lee and I reluctantly postponed Sheldon's until another trip to Southside. Buster's is a steakhouse, bar, and grill on route 360 in Amelia. The service is first-rate and the atmosphere is what you would expect of a roadhouse in rural Virginia. en español, em português, en français I had the barbecue sandwich with fries. The barbecue was pretty good in a vinegar based sauce (certainly better than the tomato based sauce from a tin at Buddy's Place down the street), but the fries were a little flat.

Stop-In Food Store: Waynesboro - Great soup for only $0.99!

by matcrazy1

Stop-In Food Store is a chain grocery store. We stopped in Waynesboro on the way from Charlottenville to Staunton. We were looking for some food to buy at low price. That store didn't look attractive to be honest. We didn't buy anything there except home-made, thick, vegetable soup which cost only $0.99. Believe or not, it was probably the best soup I ever had in the USA. So, I took the second bowl and I noticed that two other local customers did the same thing.

Brookside Restaurant: Luray - Homestyle cooking

by matcrazy1

I never expect good food in very touristy places like in Brookside restaurant located by parking lot to the Luray Caverns visited by half a milion visitors a year. I do expect high prices, crowds and often long waits for service. To my surprise it worked quite differently in buffet style Brookside restaurant which offers homestyle cooking and a friendly family atmosphere. Well, it wasn't my best restaurant in Virginia but very good. There were very few visitors that cloudy October day, so we were seated immediatelly. The service was fast and good. As for the interior design, the building looks better from the outside, in my opinion. I had Virginia ham steak which was a bit salty but very good. Urszula had delicious beef steak and salad bar. The only bad thing was Urszula's American beer. She should have ordered local wine or water as I did. The portions were not that large as in some...

29 Diner: Fairfax - Breakfast in old American diner

by matcrazy1

Nat (b1bob) chose this restaurant for our last meal on American soil in the end of our fantastic southern odyssey just before flight back to Poland from nearby Dulles Airport. And it was a perfect choice, thanks Nat. The building is a preserved streamline modern diner and quite popular place as I noticed. The smoking section, with tabletop jukeboxes in small booths, however, has an old-fashioned feel. The menu is far larger - and far more eclectic - than you might find in a typical diner. Inexpensive breakfast is served 24 hours a day and 29 Diner is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. They are closed on Christmas Eve for about 12 hours and that's all. The only thing noteworthy about the breakfast is that it's the South, so you can get grits (a type of maize porridge). According to the official website, the 29 Diner building was delivered to its location in 1947 and is registered Virginia...
