I finally got to stop at Blue Ridge Seafood on Route 29 in Gainesville. Website here. The parking lot of this establishment is generally pretty full and I needed to find out what all the fuss was about. The place is not fancy inside, the only placemats and tablecloths are brown paper for eating seafood on. The chairs are stackable, or picnic tables. The restaurant is fairly disjointed and not someplace you go for ambiance. They have a bar, I know they serve beer and wine. BUT we had good fried shrimp, fried oysters, hushpuppies. The side of zucchini had a sizeable onion flavor and chunks I could do without. The lobster and crab dip was good, but there weren't discernible chunks, I have had better, but it wasn't bad crab dip in any way and it was good on a cold windy night. We both had glasses of Gray Ghost Chardonnay. This place is like an Eastern Shore/Beach restaurant in the middle of the Virginia heartland, but the seafood was of better quality than I would have thought not having that proximity to water. Anyway, I would definitely stop again, we normally have the dog when making treks up and back so we just normally don't do sit down.- 5 replies

I had a really flavorful version at Nora in Gainesville a week or so ago. It had a little raw onion and picked turnip with it, but alone, it was very good. Not bland at all due to a healthy addition of what my mom always referred to as "Syrian allspices" which are not the same as the allspice berry. I think the "allspices" are also referred to as "7 spices" but I have no idea what's in them. -
Went there twice this weekend. Big, hearty Italiamerican fare. Best pizza I've had in DC outside my own kitchen (although I haven't been to 2 Amy's yet). The chicken parm subs ooze with red and white goodness. The pizza crust is exceedingly light, but with ample structure to not bend under the weight of the rightly measured toppings. -
Anyone try this place out in what could be becoming a dining mecca? For anyone with an inkling of historical knowledge, this pairing of cuisines should be very interesting. There used to be a branch of Zed's out in Gainesville, we went a few times with the kids, and the food was good, but the location was abysmal and they were probably a couple years too early.
