Virginia Dining

Dining in Virginia is about more than just needing to eat; it’s an entire experience. Next to ethnic shops, you’ll find five-star restaurants, a regional buffet, traditional diners, and fresh seafood-on-the-boardwalk. Those traveling to Virginia will almost all agree that the dining there can be a real treat. Some of the kinds of restaurants that are common in Virginia are American, Mexican, Italian, Asian, international, fast food, casual dining, family dining, fine dining, diners, steakhouses, southern, seafood, specialty, vegetarian, ice cream shops, coffee shops, delis, barbeque, and cafés.

One of the most traditional styles of restaurant is the Diner. Though many people think about diners with disgust, the Diner experience in Virginia is really about a small expense for home-cooked, southern-style meals in a comfy, country setting. Decorating the Virginia countryside, Virginia diners often operate just as they did in the ’40s and ‘50s – sometimes in the same converted train or trolley car that they originally were converted from. With the regional dishes like country ham, grits, and Southern fried chicken plus the fun decorations and attitude, Virginia diners are exciting for those visiting with nostalgia and those visiting for the first time.
