Virginia’s Oldest Taverns Still Pour Drinks And Serve Supper In Rooms From The 9s

Some Virginia dining rooms were already old when the country was brand new, and a handful of them still set tables every week. These taverns once fed stagecoach riders, travelers, and town folks, and today they serve crab cakes, fried chicken, trout, and prime rib under the same beams and beside the same fireplaces.

You’ll Fall In Love With The Homemade Breakfast At This Old-School Virginia Diner

Not every great restaurant announces itself with fanfare, and the Hillsville Diner in Hillsville, Virginia, is proof that the best ones usually don’t bother. What it does instead is paint its name in bold red letters on a white building, hang a vintage Coca-Cola sign above the door, and let the food make every argument that needs to be made.

Hensley is back at Carter Fold this Saturday night

HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold is back in action after a week off for Halloween, and will welcome Trey Hensley & His Bluegrass Band back to the historic venue this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Trey Hensley is a Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Johnson City, Tennessee, whose musical journey has been intertwined with the Carter Family Fold since childhood. A true prodigy, Trey first stepped onto the Grand Ole Opry stage at just eleven years old, performing alongside Marty Stuart and Earl Scruggs. Not long after, he met Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at the Fold, where he performed with members of the Carter Family and later played at June Carter Cash’s birthday celebration—an early milestone that helped shape his lifelong connection to traditional music. Raised in nearby Telford, Trey began singing gospel at age six before discovering bluegrass guitar, quickly developing the fiery flatpicking style that would become his signature. His early career included several acclaimed bluegrass recordings with his band Drivin’ Force, produced with guidance from Tom T. Hall. Over the years, Trey has shared the stage with icons including Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys, J.D. Crowe, Peter Frampton, and

Locals Swear by the Giant, Juicy Cheeseburgers at This No-Frills Tennessee Burger Joint

The burgers here are half-pound patties, hand-pattied and cooked fresh to order. That means you’ll wait around 20 minutes, and nobody seems to mind one bit. The dining room holds only a handful of tables. A few more sit outside on a back deck. The building is old, simple, and clean, which feels exactly right for a place this focused on food.
