  • Michie Tavern is located a ½ mile from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. They serve southern fare such as fried chicken, stewed tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and mashed potatoes with gravy. This is all you can eat, so you will not leave hungry. Come along with us as we go to one of our favorite restaurants in Virginia.

    I’d often heard of this place but had never been until today when y’all took me there to celebrate my birthday. I was pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent, and the chicken was definitely some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Everything I ate was excellent. I highly recommend the place. My first visit but not my last, I hope. It’s easy to see why y’all loving going to Michie’s!
    A big THANK YOU to my family for a very enjoyable outing.

      This would be a great trip for you! Monticello is only a 1/2 mile away as well as other historical sites. Lots to do in Virginia! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

    The best restaurant in Virginia?!?!? I am sold. I definitely want to check this place out. We have been wanting to go to Monticello as well so we will need to hit this place up on the way. Thanks for sharing your review!

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Год назад +1

      It's so good! Monticello is one of my favorite historical places to visit That would be a great day for you to go to both. Have you seen the re-enactor that does Thomas Jefferson? We have seen a couple. On our last visit the man who portrayed Jefferson was amazing.

    Best restaurant in Virginia? Back when business had me going into Richmond several times a year, there was a restaurant on West Broad Street that I recall as "Demetris", or something like that. They were excellent! But, we're talking 20+ years ago... Only been to Charlottesville a few times. Home of the closest "never seen" TV station when I was trying to pick-up distant TV stations, WVIR-TV 29. I like the layout of this place. There's something to be said for preserving history, lest we forget. I like the combination of the fried chicken and pulled pork barbecue. Looks like David's mom got a great birthday treat! Another great video! God Bless!

      I'm not familiar with Demetris. I did see a Demi's Mediterranean Kitchen online. This is a great place and a favorite of ours but not sure if it's the very best. It has some of the best chicken you will eat. I agree that it is so important to preserve our history. You will not be disappointed here. Thanks for watching!

      It is one of our favorite places to go and eat. Charlottesville has so many good places to choose from. Glad it bought you some positive vibes as you thought about your hometown. Thomas Jefferson has always been fascinating to me and all of this different contributions and talents.

      It is good chicken! I never fry chicken at home but I do like to get it when we go out to eat. I think you would love this place. There is a little store right beside the tavern that we went to as well. If you are into history Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home) is only a half a mile away. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

    The tavern is beautiful. It’s worth a visit but we weren’t impressed with the food. It was disappointing after reading all the promising reviews.
    Thank you for the video. 🙂

      This place is amazing! I highly recommend this for you and Marie to try. The fried chicken is some of the best chicken you will get anywhere. If you like apple cider you will love it here. So good!! The time frame is colonial here and they have done a great job with the building and grounds. Hope you get to go one day. Thanks for all your support! Have a great day!

    I am a Michie. It is pronounced like Mickey...a hard K sound. It is Scottish. I was born and live in Virginia and can’t wait to visit the tavern again. ❤

      That is so cool that you are a Michie! I have heard it pronounced both ways. Thanks so much for clarifying that for us. We really love going there. Hope you will get to Virginia and Michie's Tavern again soon! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

      Yes they do. They have a sidewalk without steps that you can take to get to the restaurant. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    I went there last weekend and was sorely disappointed. It is billed as “southern fare” but tastes more like hospital food. In my opinion, the veggies tasted like they came out of a can and were cooked with little or no seasoning. The stewed tomatoes were atrocious, very sweet from sugar, I suppose. The chicken thigh had very little flavor. The pulled pork BBQ was more sauce than meat, but it did have some flavor. All this 💩 for $25 or so per person. KFC or Golden Corral are better.
