Knead Bread

As a frequent visitor of New York City, I know a thing or two about amazing breakfast sandwiches.  While I love this area much more than the big city, I have been lamenting that there aren’t many options for NYC-style breakfast sandwiches here.  Well, one of our Foodies team members had mentioned that they got […]

Paco’s Market

People love to throw the term “hidden gem” around, but no place more embodies that moniker than Paco’s Market, located in the Exxon gas station on Martinsburg Pike off I-81 Exit 317 in the Winchester area.  Extremely non-descript outside, but the interior is purely authentic Mexico, and the food is no different.  If you are […]

Bonnie Blue Southern Market & Bakery

The last stop on our day through downtown Winchester was Bonnie Blue Southern Market & Bakery.  While not on the downtown Walking Mall, this spot has been a staple in the Winchester foodie scene for most of my life.  There is so much history in this building, and they do everything the right way – […]

Manolete’s Cocina Gourmet

The next stop on our culinary tour around the downtown Winchester Walking Mall was Manolete’s Cocina Gourmet.  This building has housed a handful of interesting businesses, but it seems to be very stable now with the residency of Manolete’s.  As the full name implies, they are a gourmet cocina, offering up plenty of traditional Mexican […]

T.T. Walls

Are you looking for elevated Southern cuisine in the heart of downtown Winchester?  Look no further than T.T. Walls, a newer spot offering up southern staples with a sophisticated touch.  From the daily brewed sweet tea to some of the best fried chicken we have ever sampled, T.T. Walls is truly raising the bar for […]

Oak Stone Craft Pizza & Bar

I’m always on the lookout for a good pizza, and I finally was able to make it out to Oak Stone to try their delicious, custom-built pies.  I was absolutely blown away by how fresh the ingredients were, how crispy the crust was, and how customization-friendly their menu is.  The service was incredible as well.  […]

Sabai Thai Winchester

As a Winchester resident and Foodies expert, it is kind of embarrassing to say that there are a handful of restaurants on the Winchester Walking Mall that I have never dined at.  My goal is to cross every restaurant off that list by the end of the summer.  Last week, we took a trip out […]

New Town Creamery

By now you will probably get the hint that we are an ice cream family.  Luckily, as Winchester residents, there are so many ice cream places to try out.  Last week, we went to New Town Creamery in Stephen City (I-81 Exit 307) to celebrate the end of the school year, and this place did […]

Dairy Corner

It’s spring time, so that means it is officially socially acceptable to go get ice cream after dinner now!  If you are in the Winchester area, there are plenty of options for ice cream, but one that has truly stood the test of time is the Dairy Corner at the I-81/Rt. 7 juncture.  They are […]

Taste Buds

Whenever we are in the mood for a delicious pizza, we always go to Taste Buds located right on the VA/WV border on Route 11.  This has been our go-to spot since we moved to the Winchester area.  As with any area, there are plenty of pizza shops to choose from, but we constantly find […]
