Disclosure: A 25.00 gift card to Stamey's was provided in exchange for this post. The first thing I noticed when we drove through Greensboro was that there were a ton of BBQ restaurants. And by ton, I mean one on almost every single corner. We aren't huge BBQ lovers, so during our stay in Greensboro we decided we would pick only one BBQ restaurant.  We choose to try Stamey's and regretted every second of it.Founded in 1930, Stamey’s is known for it’s “Lexington-style” pit cooked exclusively over hardwood coals barbecue pork and “secret barbecue sauce”. The secret barbecue sauce was a watery, sugary, … [Read more...]

When it comes to tacos, I typically enjoy mine pretty plain. Lettuce, tomatoes and salsa and I'm a happy mama.

Each recipe draws its magic from international influences and every plate receives the freshest local ingredients available. I was extremely impressed with how large of a menu I was presented with.

Guests can choose from a variety of burger options including the Hops Classic, … [Read more...]

When you first approach Tony & Milena's 'Pizzeria', which is located in a small strip mall off the George Washington Memorial Hwy you really aren't sure what to expect. It looks like any other small town pizza joint that serves greasy pizza and over prized wings...However Tony & Milena's is  nothing like that. Actually, to be honest I'm not sure why they even call it a pizzeria. It's atmosphere and food feel and taste more like a fine dining Italian restaurant, with out the dress code and price shock. Our waiter, Max was attentive and helpful. He explained everything on the menu to us, and … [Read more...]
