Dining Options are Numerous in New River

In the many decades since Daniel Boone blazed the Wilderness Trail through the New River Valley, entrepreneurs have risen to the task of feeding travelers and locals. As dining out has evolved from necessity to social activity and entertainment, a wide variety of eateries has opened, embracing a plethora of tastes and cultural preferences.

 

Variety
With close to 40,000 students from around the world at a community college and two universities, burgers, pizza, subs, and chicken wings are staples on many menus.  If you want delicious food with quality and taste you can rely on, you’ll find it here!

 

You’ll uncover enticing ethnic entrées from far away lands like Japan, Italy, China, India, Australia, Vietnam, Greece and Mexico. Regional America is well represented with buffalo burgers reminiscent of the Wild West through Cajun country’s jambalaya and blackened everything and up to the New England coast famous for fresh fish and lobster. You can dine around the world without leaving the area.

 

If you are accustomed to good ol’ Southern cookin’—warm homemade biscuits, apple butter, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and pecan pie, for example—you’ll fit right in with the old-timers along with some newcomers and visitors.

 

Something to Suit your Style
The restaurant styles are as numerous as the food options—from café and coffee shops, fast food and slow food, take-out and delivery to impressive buffets, rustic wood and antiques atmosphere, linens, candlelight, soft music, and of course, fine Virginia wine.

 

So bundle up your appetite with a sense of culinary adventure and see what’s cookin’ in the New River Valley.
