This place is located on Route 1 south of the WalMart and Costco. If you pass the Goodwill going southbound, or the Costco going northbound, you've gone too far. It's a hole-in-the-wall diner, but it's cheap with big portions and the coffee keeps coming (although the can of Diet Coke will cost $2.25; I needed it). Today I got 2 scrambled eggs (they looked like they were more than 2), 4 slices of bacon, real home fries, and 2 large pancakes for $8.99 plus tax. I'm going to get 3 meals out of it. The eggs and potatoes needed some salt, but not a big deal. Breakfast is served all day and the rest of the menu includes burgers, fried shrimp, and a whole lot else. I could go to Denny's for the unlimited Diet Coke, but Elsie's is very much local and worth patronizing. And I could probably cut back on the Diet Coke...

To continue the journey though Loudoun.... Carolina Brothers Pit Barbeque is a pretty solid rendition of Eastern North Carolina style barbeque. That is typically, whole hog, with a thin vinager-based sauce. I am not sure if it is whole hog, but it is definitely sauced with the vinager based sauce. In the past I remembered thinking it tasted watered down from being on the steam table too long. Today it seemed pretty fresh. In fact it was quite good, not as good as the better places in NC, but at least in the same ballpark. Super casual place good for lunch. I didn't try the ribs or beef bbq, but from past visits (granted 2 years ago) I think you would be best to stick to the pork. Sides, the baked beans and mac and cheese, were solid on this visit. This place is also right off the W&OD trail, for any bicyclists.
