I was on a road trip in central Virginia and needed a place to eat lunch. In Staunton, right off Interstate 81, I found the perfect stop. A home style, family owned restaurant, serving delicious comfort food: Mrs. Rowe's Family Restaurant.

Tuscarora Mill
I was in Leesburg, Virginia for an event and decided to eat lunch there. After a quick search, I found an interesting looking restaurant nearby. Situated inside a 19th century mill, the Tuscarora Mill offers a dining experience like no other.
The Pink Poodle
I was in King George Virginia, attending a festival on a warm fall day. Afterwards, I was in the mood for some local ice cream. There was such a place in nearby Colonial Beach, Virginia, an historic beach town situated on the Potomac River. Located near the boardwalk area, covered with bright colors, The Pink Poodle can't be missed.
Red Fox Creamery
Early last winter, I was on a road trip to Winchester, Virginia. I decided to explore its main street, North Loudoun St, which has been made into a scenic pedestrian thoroughfare. Among the many restaurants and shops, one place stood out from the rest. An old fashioned ice cream parlor called Red Fox Creamery.
Marco & Luca Dumplings
I was in central Virginia doing some sightseeing. Afterwards, I was looking for a place to have dinner. Following a friends suggestion, I detoured to Charlottesville and explored their main street. The place that caught my eye was Marco & Luca Dumplings and it is fantastic!
Doshier’s Donuts
On a road trip in Virginia while looking for a place to eat breakfast, I passed a road side sign advertising sandwiches and donuts. I turned around as soon as I could and found the place, the store front of Doshier's Donuts. Much to my delight, everything there is made fresh. Even the donuts, which are fried to order!
Pop’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Company
I have been meaning to try Pop's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Company,located in Alexandria Virginia, for a couple of years now. But every time I was in town it always had long lines and I went elsewhere. On an unusually warm President's Day, I decided to endure the wait and try their ice cream. It was worth it.
Ruthie’s All-Day
After an early morning hike on Theodore Roosevelt Island, I was looking for a place nearby to eat brunch. A quick search turned up Ruthie's All Day in nearby Arlington. The name made it sound like a good, local, hole in the wall. So that is where I went. Ruthie's is certainly local, but hole in the wall it is not.
