Next time you’ve got a craving for rich, comforting foods, don’t try to resist the temptation. Here are four restaurants in or near Manassas, Virginia, that serve traditional country fare.
Okra’s
Okra’s is a Cajun-Creole style restaurant that’s comfortable and casual. Located in the heart of the downtown arts district, it’s a favorite gathering place for happy hour specials, patio dining, and authentic cuisine.
Start your meal with black-eyed pea hummus or fried alligator bites, then move on to a plate of mouthwatering crawfish etoufee spooned over white rice. For more than 20 years, Okra’s has been serving up tasty sandwiches like the blackened catfish wrap. Try a classic Southern libation like the hot and dirty martini or the hurricane that packs a category five punch.
Ashton Avenue
Are you looking for a place the whole family can enjoy? Then head to Ashton Avenue for a kid-friendly place where you can order up everyone’s favorite down-home country cooking. This neighborhood-style venue offers a wide variety of comforting dishes from the well-stocked salad bar to the selection of gyros and burgers. Also on the menu are fajitas, lasagna, steak, moussaka, and decadent, homemade desserts.
Kids eat free on Mondays, while mom and dad can grab a half-priced adult beverage every Wednesday. Check out the pasta bar on Thursday, which has an all-you-can-eat selection of sauces, or try the Sunday brunch. The kids will love the omelet station, and parents will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Country Cookin
What’s for dinner tonight? How about a juicy USDA choice steak and a variety of traditional homestyle favorites? Country Cookin has what you’re craving, including the new country tots. These delicious little morsels are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they’re perfect dipped in their signature honey mustard sauce.
Visit the unlimited hot vegetable, salad, bread, soup, and dessert bar, then order an entree. You’ll discover hard-to-find Southern classics like country fried steak and liver and onions. Get your cornbread the old-fashioned way, or try the housemade pinto beans that are slow cooked for 8 hours. Choose from the meatless menu or the ocean’s bounty like the fish and shrimp platter all at Country Cookin.
The Bone
Historic downtown is home to The Bone, a high-end local barbeque joint that delivers unsurpassed smoked classics. From pulled pork and beef brisket to traditionally tart Southern collard greens, The Bone is hands down one of the city’s best joints for country cooking.
Got a large family or group? Try the Boss Hog. It feeds up to a dozen people with 3 pounds of meat, a slab of ribs, a whole chicken, and 4 quarts of sides and buns. It’s a big hearty meal, so bring your appetite.
