Outside of Thai Thai's
Thai Thai’s is a new restaurant that opened in the new Stoney Run section in Newport News. This is the new shopping/living/eating complex at the corner of Jefferson and Denbigh.
Thai Thai’s is a takeout restaurant that also has some inside seating. When you walk in, it looks very clean and welcoming. The lady at the register was very nice and courteous. You can eat in or take out. My husband and I decided to eat in. Click here to read more »
My sister mentioned to me that taco bell had a new menu option for vegetarians. I looked it up and voila! the crispy potato taco. She picked up a couple for me so I cannot review the actual restaurant she went to but only the items.
The taco itself didn’t look as appetizing as what is shown on the website but that is expected. I mean, the real thing doesn’t ever look as good as the pictures on the menus anyway. Once I took my first bite, I fell in love. This taco is so delicious! It has the perfect taste. My sister who got them for me says they remind her of what she remembers chicken soft tacos tasting like (she is also vegetarian).
Kudos to taco bell for adding another vegetarian option to their menu. Hopefully the interest in this taco leads them to develop even more items and *hopefully* take gelatin out of their sour cream.
I’ve heard this is a great place for delicious Vegan cupcakes. Currently, they only sell them on Thursdays but that could change with more interest. Please help our fellow vegans and request more and more cupcakes! If they get enough requests, they may start selling them everyday.

My co-workers and I decided to go out for lunch one Friday afternoon. Little did we know that our choice of where to go would haunt us for the next week. Cancun is a small restaurant down at the end of King Street in Hampton before you reach Langley Air Force Base.
We love Mexican food and have gone to Cancun before without a problem. This day, I ordered their vegetarian option that comes with a cheese quesadilla, bean chalupa, and bean burrito. We had a great tasting meal and went home that day ready for the weekend. By 4pm on Saturday, I was feeling queasy and generally sick feeling. Click here to read more »

We walked into Nonnas and were seated promptly even though they were very busy. They really have a lot of room inside their establishment and it was very clean and welcoming.
This was my third time coming to Nonnas and as always, I was not disappointed. They had Valentine’s day dinner options that seemed very upscale and delicious. One option was portabello mushrooms stuffed with risotto cheese, pesto, and more. Their stromboli’s are enormous. My sister got one and it was at least 3 meals for her. They have huge portions for the prices. Click here to read more »

Ah, Bier Garden. Most German restaurants serve a lot of meat and Bier Garden is no different. What is different is that they also have vegetarian options and quite a few at that. My friends and I always look forward to watching movies at the Commodore because we know that we will go across the street to the Bier Garden afterward. The atmosphere is very pub-like. Lots of wood and ‘homey’ type decorations. It’s a family restaurant and you can tell when you go in. Click here to read more »
My new favorite restaurant is currently Red Robin (Outside Patrick Henry mall in Newport News). I’ve been there so many times in the past few months, I can’t believe I haven’t posted a review on it yet. Here’s a review of my latest visit.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated. We noticed that there is a wait on weekends but we haven’t ever had to wait on a weekday. The waiter came within a couple minutes and took our drink order. Click here to read more »
I haven’t posted in a while (really busy) but plan on getting back in and adding more reviews (Red Robin, Nonnas, Vintner’s Cellar to name a few). In the meantime, I wanted to give support to my friend who just started a new vegetable blog. She isn’t vegetarian but is a great supporter of vegetables. Her blog will include a lot of good information on vegetables and nutrition in general. She will also be posting recipes. Check it out – http://www.veggiewiz.com/

This place is so charming and detail orientated. Right when you walk in, you are greeted by a well decorated, clean and sweet smelling atmosphere. I’ve been here before and would recommend the vegetarian spring rolls. They are super tiny and very crispy. This time I ordered the vegetarian delicious dish called Pa-Ram Jae. Although the staff didn’t speak english very well, they were very friendly and refilled my water as soon as it was half empty. They pay attention to the smallest details. Like the carved carrot flower on my plate to the decoratively twisted paper on my straw. Although it was hard to do because it was so pretty, I eventually took the paper off of the straw.

Carrot Tree – Yorktown
The Carrot Tree, looks quaint and cute from the outside. The look on the inside matches the outside charm perfectly. The service was friendly and atmosphere quiet. This would be a great place to take your mom, girlfriend or friend. It’s a bit small so large parties should call ahead.Their website had menus and hours for more information.
