My brother George Brewer is the General Manager at the Country Suite Inns in Abington, Va. It is an awesome place to stay with an awesome staff. Give it a try next time you are there or your first time there.

This post just made me hungry! It's always great to frequent locally owned restaurants compared to the chain ones. You're so right that food always tastes better. I love the variety of restaurants here and especially that tavern.

I would definitely try these 5 and the few other ones, too, if I make it to Abingdon. It's always good to know some recommendations than flying in blindly and picking somewhere.

Scallops, stuffed chicken breast, and a fried tomato BLT, now I'm super hungry. Amazing that there are so many great restaurants in one place. I love restaurants that are located in historic buildings, especially if the building is haunted. Somehow the ghosts make the food more yummy. #WeekendWanderlust
