Favorite Finds: Restaurants

Here's my list of good eats.

Melting Pot Pizza - Front Royal, VA
Thin crust, great sauce, and at times a pretty rough crowd. What's not to love? I grew up on this pizza, so I may be a bit biased. It's not everyone's cup of tea.

Skinny's Place - Anna Maria Island, FL
Burgers and fries. Walk right in off the beach. Don't worry about shoes or covering up. Anna Maria Island has become our go to vacation spot. This has become one of our go to food spots on the Island.

Duffy's Tavern - Anna Maria Island, FL
See Skinny's Place description.

Hula Hut - Austin, TX
I was in Austin for a few days back in the Spring, and this place was great. The beautiful weather probably has something to do with how I'm remembering this place. Available outdoor seating right on the lake.

Buz and Neds Real Barbeque - Richmond, VA
Conveniently located just down the road from where the Richmond Flying Squirrels play. Best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. We stop in any time we are in/near/around Richmond. Admittedly, it's pretty well known now, but it's not a chain, and it's great.

Lucky 12 Tavern - Nags Head, NC
Good little hole in the wall bar/restaurant at the beach. Good place for sports. Good food.

Cosmo's Pizzeria - Southern Shores, NC
Best pizza on the OBX, in my opinion. Lots of locals in here, which is always a good sign.

BBQ Exchange - Gordonsville, VA
Very nice BBQ joint. Very clean and new. Good BBQ and great sauces. Can get crowded on the weekend.
