Take your time. This may require more than one trip. Give your parents or grandparents a trip down memory lane for some of the toys/figurines displayed. The smile on their face will say it all.
Wow amazing puts things in perspective. Also nice to not see “politically correctness”
Try adding Reese's Pieces to the pancake batter - melts into a great gooey, peanut-buttery pancake. Potato cakes are extra awesome with grilled onions and shredded cheddar too.
Damn hot chicken - as advertised. Very hot but edible. Chicken is so good that merely "hot" might be the better route, letting the flavor come through more. Mac and cheese was great. Fries were good.
GPS may indicate that you have arrived, even if you are still on Interstate 66. From exit 60 VA 123 toward Vienna/Fairfax. Keep right at the fork. Right on Fairfax Blvd. Right on Waples Mill Rd.

The perfect meal starts with the Fried Green Tomatoes with 1870 sauce and ends with a piece of homemade pie. Great dinner specials and happy hour deals. LOVE THIS PLACE!

So cool! Go on a tour and see all the floats and how all the decorations are made!
Very sobering to see the history of lynchings that have been through the south. So many, yet so many more unreported. A memorial worth walking thru.
Make all the time you can. This is not a place that you can rush through. Peace.
Watch out Hill Farmstead. Hands down the best beer in NC and best beer since I was in VT. Experimental. Unafraid. Mind blown.

Read Ray Arsenault's book. It will change the way you view civil rights in the 1960s south forever..
Not a huge place but certainly big enough to tell this important American artist's story. Interactive displays. Help you get a true spence of his life and times and how he has influenced artists now.
Country ham and red eye gravy is soooo good!!! Also really like hash brown casserole.
Can't say how absolutely AMAZING this museum is. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours here to really get a good grasp of the history here. Warning: pretty graphic images, not always suitable for kids.
The steak tartare really is a standout. It’s served with crispy oysters instead of bread or crackers, such a unique preparation and so tasty.
The food is really good, actually it's great. The Braised Ox-Tails, and The Fried Green Tomatoes are so good. The customer service was great also. They are so attentive to the customer.

For couple’s soaks, make sure you’ve got the right building. There are 3 on the grounds and only one does this. You feel regenerated, relaxed and silky smooth when you’re done with your soak!
Pretty cute show. The kids loved it. You have to eat with your hands, so if that's not your thing...this show isn't for you. Also, they don't serve any alcohol what so ever!
Where do I begin? Woody's Fish Tacos. Bratz Y'all. French Truck Coffee. Mrs. Linda's Yakamein. SHULTZILLA. Zeus' Place. Hand shaken lemonade. Gourmet Cupcakes. Live music. Fun. Sun. Shop. Eat.

This spot is kind of amazing. I mean not exactly a justified Beard award...the pork is really good but the bread immediately gets soggy. Can’t beat the price and visiting these parts is an experience
Be sure to save room for dessert. Their "Virginia Peanut Pie" is a must try. Get a slice for the table & yourself. Smiles are guaranteed to follow.

Everything is good. Trust chef's opinion when it comes to fried vs. grilled and always look for more seasonal specialties.
Love this place! Seems very LGBTQ+ friendly. My favorite is still the fried oyster mushrooms in sweet chili sauce. I’m always amazed by how filling everything is (even without a meat substitute).

Best kept secret in Mississippi! Catfish is whole and the dusting they use for batter is outta this world. Shrimp are spicy, in case your kids (or you!) are sensitive.
Twisting the Cyclone was the best they could do for this old classic. Feels 10 times faster and probably the best coaster in the park now! Smooth and fast. No more neck pains and back adjustments.
