Virginia Diner

Steve’s take

About thirty minutes off I-95, the Virginia Diner has been serving peanut soup and country ham since 1929. This is the kind of place your grandparents ate at, and the peanut pie is unreasonably good. If your route takes you through the Wakefield area — especially if you're heading to Virginia Beach or the Outer Banks first — this is a legitimate destination meal, not just a pit stop.
