Location: I-95, exit 118 – Thornburg, Virginia

We got off on this I-95 exit to go to a Subway for a change and when we saw Angela’s we said why not. That was 4 years ago and we stop every time we head South on I-95 now. They have great seafood, spaghetti and grinders especially there BLT. You won’t be sorry.

Location: I-95, exit 92 – Ashland, Virginia

If you’re looking for a nice restaurant that serves great prime rib or ribs, Smokey Pig is the place. It is located in Ashland, less than 1/4 mile west of I-95. This place is hog heaven! When you enter you’ll be greeted by just about every pig curio that has ever been made… pig shirts, earrings, hats, jewelry and statues and in the waiting room which is inside the restaurant. The covered waiting room holds about 50 people. You’ll find that on weekends the waiting room is full! Most waits are less than one hour. The food is well worth the wait. They are closed on Mondays.

Location: I-95 Exit 150 Triangle, Virginia

When you’re driving through Virginia, check out Dent’s Seafood. It’s easily accessible from the Triangle/Quantico exit (150, I believe). It’s a small, mom & pop kind of place that serves great grilled and fried seafood… and you can pick up fresh fish to prepare at home. They have good prices, too.

Location: I-95 Exit 52  – Old Towne Petersburg ,Virginia

Wow!!! What a great place… we found The Bistro by accident as we headed to the outerbanks.  We found it even though it is off the beaten path just a bit.

Talk about southern hosptality! The waitress we had was very friendly. We felt like we were honored guests in someones home, especially when the owner/ chef came to our table and spent some time with us.  My family loved the pineapple curry sea bass and the sausages and glazed grapes.

We just happened to stumble upon some great Italian food last night at exit 152 just south of Washington, DC. It’s called “Tiziano’s”. There was live music and they give all the women a rose on Saturday nights. I had spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread, and my wife had manicotti with a creamy tomato basil sauce that might have had a white wine flavor. The garlic bread was as good as any I’ve had and I’ve had alot. I recommend Tiziano’s to all I-95 travelers!

Location: Various locations along I-95

When traveling on the Interstates I look for good food cooked fast. I don’t usually stop at truck stops but this one time I decided to try the Travel Centers of America Country Pride. They have the best pancakes and coffee I have ever had !! If you ever want some good food stop at Country Pride.

Andrade’s is located at 7 Bollingbrook Street in Old Towne Petersburg. This is our favorite restaurant in lovely Old Towne. They have plenty of free parking and are in the heart of the shopping area of renovated Old Towne. They serve Mexican, South and Central American cuisine with an upscale flair and in a lovely setting. We enjoy the large outside patio when it’s warm. They often have music in the Summer. Their prices are reasonable too!

Location: I-95 Exit 130, Fredericksburg, Virginia

Save us from the fast food we are surrounded by on I-95! We purposely make Fredericksburg, Virginia our half way point just to eat at the Bonefish Grill.The fish is great, fresh and original. There are many around, as this is a chain, but none as convenient to I-95 as this one.
