Franklin’s Smokin’ Barnyard
One of the best hidden gems in the Winchester area is definitely Franklin’s Smokin’ Barnyard. As a food truck, his location changes, but for the most part, he is either posted up at Weber’s Nursery on 11 by Rutherford Plaza, or at Solenberger’s Hardware off of I-81 Exit 315 in Winchester. For our stop this […]
Snow White Grill
One of the most polarizing restaurants in our local area is the Snow White Grill. The consensus for a long time was that they had phenomenal burgers and fries, but they had very inconvenient and non-intuitive hours, so hungry patrons constantly had to look elsewhere after an evening on the walking mall in downtown Winchester. […]
Sclafani’s NY Bagels
In preparation for the snow event this past weekend, my family stopped in at Sclafani’s NY Bagels in Kernstown, VA (one exit past Winchester on I-81 South) to get some bagels to enjoy over the next few days. Sclafani’s has the feel of a traditional NY bagel shop, with plenty of flavors of bagels and […]
Jimmy Joy’s Log Cabin
Last weekend, for a family birthday, we went to Jimmy Joy’s Log Cabin between Hagerstown and Hancock for a seafood feast. Being that we are hours away from the beach, there aren’t a ton of great seafood options in this area. Jimmy Joy’s is one of our favorites because of their food, customer service, and […]
The Country Inn at Berkeley Springs
The Foodies crew took an adventure to Berkeley Springs to take in the winter festivities of the area, and this past weekend we shared a family dinner at The Country Inn at Berkeley Springs. We love this place, and have been multiple times. With an extensive menu and cozy atmosphere, this is a top spot […]
El Rancho Plus
Last week, we were in the Northern Virginia area, and my little one was craving some queso dip from a Mexican restaurant. The first Mexican restaurant we could find in the Purcellville area was El Rancho Plus, so we tried them out. It was a small, homey type of spot, with a more limited menu […]
The Pub
One of the biggest hidden gems in the Eastern Panhandle is The Pub, located on Route 11 between the VA border and Inwood. This nondescript hole in the wall has really good food and a lot of charm on the inside. Don’t let the exterior fool you – this spot is very clean and well […]
Pack’s Cones-N-More
One of our all time favorite ice cream shops in the Winchester area is Pack’s Ice Cream. They have delicious custard, Dole Whip, and all kinds of crazy ice cream concoctions. Pack’s has multiple physical locations, including shops and carts, throughout the Winchester area, and we are so excited that Pack’s Cones-N-More is located right […]
Jin Zhou Gardens
There are a plethora of Asian restaurants in the Winchester area, and we wanted to try something different for dinner the other night. We had noticed a place on Route 7 called Jin Zhou Gardens and decided to give it a try. We got a handful of items with our pick up order. Price 💲💲 […]
Granny’s
One of our go-to breakfast spots in Winchester is Granny’s. Owned by a family friend, this little hole in the wall is one of the best restaurants in Frederick County. We have been for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they are most known for their delicious breakfasts. Last weekend, we had a chance to go […]
