Nearly every town has got a family-owned diner or eatery that’s been around for decades, serving decent (or better) food quickly and inexpensively. In an age of retro, these are the real deal.

  • Greasy Spoons

    Wasn't I amazed to see that was so well traveled in the "greasy spoon world". I saw this article and as soon as I flipped the page the sign for the for the 2400 Diner in Fredericksburg VA hit me in the face. I then started really reading about the other dinners and low and behold I have actually eaten in 4 of those well known establishments. The Horseshoe, in South Hill Va, was one of my mother's favorites, Perly's in Richmond, we would eat there after shopping on Broad St all day, The 2400 Diner was introduced to me by my husband about 20 years ago, Fredericksburg was his old stomping ground and he ate there often growing up, and Doumar's in Norfolk, I went there with my daughter and her college roommate about 3 years ago. So I was trilled to see how accomplished a "foodie" of the "greasy spoons" I am. All great places to get a home cooked meal or just a old fashion greasy burger!

  • Dinners in Mathews County

    You have several places to check out, The old Richardson's Drugstore. Great sandwiches and seafood and Linda's Diner just off Rt. 198. Both great stopping off places to grab a quick bite for lunch.
