So you’ve come down to the Northern Neck area for the weekend and you’re looking for a great place to eat in the Lancaster County area? If so, good for you, as you’ve come to the right place. Despite the fact that you’re at ‘the Rivah’, Lancaster County is full of great dining experiences, no matter what your liking may be.

The following list is simply my opinion based on personal experiences as well as the reviews I’ve heard from many people over the years. Also, the list is random, done in no particular order.

 

Top 4 Restaurants in Lancaster Virginia

1. Sandpiper Restaurant: Located at 850 Rappahannock Dr in Whitestone, The Sandpiper has been a staple of excellent dining in Lancaster County for decades. With their popular steak and seafood dishes, one is sure to have a wonderful dining experience at The SandPiper.

2. Willaby’s Restaurant: If you’re looking for great sandwiches, burgers, and barbecue, Willaby’s is one of the Northern Neck’s best. Located in Whitestone and overlooking the beautiful Rappahannock River, Willaby’s is also one of the more popular catering companies in the Northern Neck area.

3. The Lancaster Tavern: Easily the most historic restaurant on this list, the Lancaster Tavern not only is located in old-town Lancaster in a building that is older than anyone reading this article, but they also serve as a well-known bed and breakfast in the area. If you’re looking for a fine dining experience with a historical twist, The Tavern will be perfect for you.

Also, as a web guy myself, I’m very impressed with The Tavern’s website, so give it a look.

4. The Oaks Restaurant: Located at 5434 Mary Ball Rd in Lively Virginia, The Oaks has been around for years and has quite the local following. With their excellent crab cakes, burgers, and steaks—The Oaks will likely be a great fit for anyone looking to please their palette.

There are many types of Northern Neck waterfront property.  All of them are beautiful and wonderful in their own way.  We think it is great that there are many types as this allows to suit many personality traits and preferences.

Chesapeake Bay Waterfront Property

This typically means a property that is directly on the Chesapeake Bay.  Easy access to open water for bigger game fishing and sunrises over the water (if you are up that early). Bay Front allows for the wide variety of water depths that people are looking for at their docks.

River Waterfront Property

River waterfront means something a bit different than most places in the nation.  Our grand rivers in the Northern Neck are rather large, wide, and deep.  Most of them have tides and are salt water.  This is because our rivers contribute to the Chesapeake Bay.  This offers spectacular views, great fishing, and water depths for any type of fishing.

Creek Waterfront Property

Last, but definitely not least, is creek waterfront properties.  Deep water creeks can be found in the Northern Neck.  They offer beautiful views yet sheltered waterfront enjoyment.  Creek waterfront often is situated close to larger bodies of water as well.  They offer a wonderful array of waterfront property traits.

Canal Waterfront Property

These properties are normally in community layout and man-made or enhanced canals are strategically laid out to provide water access to the homes.  This water access normally leads to some large body of water such as a creek, river or directly to the bay.

 

The Landing at Totuskey Creek is one of the most unique deep water gated community that is currently offering properties that you can find in the Northern Neck.  Boat slips with full hookups on our floating docks are still available.  Fifteen feet of water at the dock.  Great waterfront views.  Only 5 minute boat ride to the Rappahannock River.  Tons more to talk about.  If you have questions or comments about waterfront properties in the Northern Neck we would love to discuss them with you.
