Martinsburg Food Truck Festival
I am a huge fan of food truck culture, so when we got the opportunity to head out to the Martinsburg Food Truck Festival in early October, you know I jumped at the opportunity. There were food trucks lined up and down the main streets of downtown Martinsburg, as well as other vendors selling household […]
AJ’s Diner and Bar
One of the newest restaurants to open up in the Eastern Panhandle is AJ’s Diner and Bar, located in Spring Mills on Route 11. This place combines two cuisines you rarely see fused together – Indian food and traditional American food. This is a genius marketing tactic, as many people love the adventurous flavors that […]
Sexi Mexi Burrito Bar
In downtown Winchester, there is a spot serving up Mexican food – with a Dutch twist! Sexi Mexi Burrito Bar, located on Boscawen Street, serves up traditional Mexican dishes with some Dutch flair. While they have traditional dishes like nachos, burritos, and tacos, they also have Dutch-inspired flavors and drinks, including a beet-infused drink that […]
Ichiban Japanese Steak & Seafood House
Sometimes, a trip to a restaurant is an entire experience, not just an opportunity to dine. Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting Ichiban Japanese Steak & Seafood House in Winchester, VA, located on Pleasant Valley Road. This was much more than a simple lunch – it was a full-fledged experience, and one of the […]
Sal and Gino
Tucked away in Stephen’s City, Sal and Gino is an undercover gem that I am so glad we unearthed. While the building may be non-descript, the food and the service are anything but. We were treated to smiling faces from the minute we stepped in, and the food they served us was some of the […]
Las Caverns
Our last stop in Front Royal was to Las Caverns, the first Peruvian place that we have visited. While there are a couple of Peruvian restaurants in the Eastern Panhandle, both chain and mom and pop, this is the first spot in the Northern Virginia area that I have been to that serves Peruvian food. […]
Los Portillos
Our next stop on our tour of Front Royal was to Los Portillos, a Mexican restaurant that serves up some of the most authentic and tasty Mexican food I have ever had. We have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants during this Foodies journey, so we are always intrigued when we get to a […]
El Maguey
The next stop on our tour through Front Royal took us to El Maguey, a Mexican restaurant serving up plenty of authentic Mexican dishes. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and this, along with the delicious dishes, made our trip really special. Price 💲💲out of 5 Like with pretty much every other Mexican restaurant […]
Castiglia’s Italian Restaurant
Our Foodies tour brought us to Front Royal, Virginia, where we were invited out to a handful of restaurants in the area to sample some incredible Italian, Mexican, and even Peruvian cuisine. Our first stop was at Castiglia’s Italian Restaurant. With my Italian heritage, I grew up with my mom and my great-grandmother constantly cooking […]
Mi Degollado – Charles Town
Let’s get this out of the way – there are a lot of Mexican restaurants in the Eastern Panhandle and the surrounding areas. We have tried a lot, but each restaurant has their own unique flavor, both aesthetically and menu-wise. Mi Degollado has always been a favorite of mine, so I’m so happy we got […]
