Lunch in Fredericksburg VA - Eileen's Bakery

Hello Lurkers,

Since I have not scribbled too much recently, I think I am going to detail the various lunch spots in Fredericksburg as we sample them in the upcoming future. Overall, we have at least 10 spots within walking distance of the office that get visited for lunch with some regularity. Anything from the walk in and get two chilidogs with other stuff on them to deli like places to some places that are a bit more upscale. Also there are a couple of places that are good enough that we occassionally drive to them (fortunately Steve's latest hire drives to the office).

For today's lunch Remus and I went to Eileen's Bakery. Eileen's does breakfast sandwiches, pastries, loaves of bread, some specialty lunch sandwiches, and a build your own sandwich option. For today I ordered a make your own Roast Beef with cheddar cheese, red onion and mustard on dark whole wheat bread. Just the right size, and the quality was decent. Remus went with their premade Italian sandwich and a loaf of their bread to take home. He also enjoyed his lunch. We also beat the rush which was nice. As a plus, the food is reasonably priced, and both indoor and outdoor seating are options. Overall, this was good enough that a repeat will occur.

Since I am thinking about it, there are two places that have been sampled this year, were rather hideous, that will never get revisited by me. The New Orleans Cafe (Soup ok, both sandwiches were bad enough that they could not be finished) and the Virginia BBQ on route 1 by Fall Hill Ave......ribs edible, everthing else sampled by me went to the trash can (NC style BBQ, baked beans and hush puppies). Only creature I would consider giving this stuff to is Solomon.

AND SOLOMON SAYS: Nor is still angry over being outsmarted by a dog! The dog that took his sock, buried out in the backyard, and then brought it in the next day - from a supposedly secure bedroom. Only a NOR would eat in a place like that!
