Waterfront Restaurants with a View
Veal Milanese
Vito's on the Lake The veal milanese was served with pasta and a delightful arugula-tomato mix. “The veal portions were generous, wonderfully tender, and subtle. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce...delicious!” |
Snow Crab Legs
Tim's at Lake Anna If you want crab legs, head to Tim's at Lake Anna! Beautiful view of the water while you dine, in or outdoors. A large menu full of many items, but there's something about crab legs. A definite must have at Lake Anna! 
|
Beef Brisket
Billiken's BBQ Company The beef brisket is slow-cooked on site and served fresh, with your choice of sides. For the little ones, try the 2 BBQ sliders kids special! |
Hibachi
Asian Cafe The freshly prepared hibachi (available in filet mignon, ribeye, chicken, shrimp, vegetable or a combination of chicken/shrimp) is delicious and the lunch portions are a bargain! |
Jumbo Lump Crab Cake
Anna Cabana The jumbo lump crab cakes are often called the best in the state, with a panoramic view of Lake Anna from their outdoor dining deck. 
|
Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla
The Cove at Lake Anna Just one of the specials at The Cove is the Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla. |
Fish Tacos
Tim's at Lake Anna The fish tacos at Tim's can be served with fish that's broiled, grilled or fried, topped with red cabbage, special sauce and a pico style relish. |
Calzone
Vito's on the Lake The calzone - stuffed with cheese (both mozzarella and ricotta), I often order this dish with half of the usual amount of cheese because they really stuff it full.

Off-Water Lake Anna Area Dining
Fredericks Hall Casserole
Tavern on the Rail The baked Fredericks Hall Casserole contains crab meat, baby lobster tails & shrimp in a delightful medley of seafood flavors in a rustic old railroad station in a farm setting, family owned & operated by Ken and Melody Bowers. Make sure you say hello as this couple is part of the restaurant's charm! |
Hunan Shrimp
Chef Lee at Lake Anna The menu at Chef Lee is abundant and one of the favorite dishes is the Hunan Shrimp. |
Meatloaf
CJ's Steak & Ale The long time lake restaurant offers a tasty meatloaf with mashed potatoes meal that make the must try list. CJ's has a lively bar. |
Local Restaurants
Pizza
Mineral Restaurant Absolutely the best pizza in the world. Sometimes I order just the cheese so I can savor every bit of flavor. Extremely reasonably priced (the 2 large cheese pizzas special is only $11.99!) and worth twice what you pay. This is an authentic small-town diner filled with locals that know where to eat. The staff are local folks earning a living and will treat you with a southern smile and you could easily become a local if you go there more than once. Joe and Vito are the owner/operators and you can find them there every day. Great conversation mixed with hard work keeps their seats filled day after day. |
Surf 'N Turf Baked Potato
Joe-Joe's Super Heroes & Pizza The loaded surf-n-turf baked potato is an entire meal on its own. The named would lead you to believe it's only a pizza joint, but the owner, Joe White, is constantly adding new items to the menu, including this incredibly tasty meal that you have to try! Joe White grew up on Lake Anna after moving here from Ohio. He brings a multi-cultural flair to his food and he's a great conversationalist. |
Pancake Breakfast
Floozie's Pie Shop Don't let the name fool you, this restaurant has much more to offer than simply pies. One of the few establishments to offer breakfast in the area, the Floozie's Pancake Breakfast is amazing, served with your choice of sausage or bacon and topped with freshly whipped butter. Also worth trying: the omelettes. Say hi to the young ladies behind the counter, they give the place the southern charm it aims for. This restaurant also has a retro vibe and excellent decor. |
Fried Oyster Dinner
Obrigado The fried oyster dinner (cornmeal crusted & fried to perfection Chesapeake oysters) is served with a baked potato and slaw. With an artistic ambiance, Obrigado offers many choices in fine Mediterranean cuisine. |
Chiles Rellenos
Sabor a Mexico The Autenticos Chiles Rellenos are cheese-stuffed fried peppers, served with rice, beans, and tortillas, all available in this full service Mexican restaurant in the town of Mineral. Seats are limited. |
Southern Fried Chicken
Rosa Mae's Cafe In the town of Louisa, you'll find southern soul food favorites at Rosa Mae's Cafe - try the traditional southern fried chicken with mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, collard greens & cornbread for the true soul food experience. |
Cheeseburger & Fries
Smokin' Eddies BBQ Located in the town of Louisa, Smokin' Eddies is known for their barbeque & they do everything well on a grill, my favorite is when they offer the cheeseburger & french fries special! |
Hot Dog
Frostie's Rail Stop One of the last few places that sells hot dogs and ice cream reminiscent of the Tastee Freez days of the 50's. Offering shaved ice and soft serve in a variety of flavors, you can pick up a hot dog and add your favorite dessert. |
Super Deep Fried Double Banana Split
Joe-Joe's Super Heroes & Pizza In addition to pizza, subs and other savory items, Joe-Joe's also offers creative desserts like the must-have Super Deep Fried Double Banana Split. The picture says it all. |
