The following restaurants will give you a perspective of the state you've likely never seen.

1. Boudreaux's Restaurant

Located in Blacksburg, Boudreaux's is a cajun-style restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere. Word on the street is that their classic red beans and rice dish tastes even better outside.

2. Supper Southern Morsels

Norfolk's Supper overlooks Ghent neighborhood and offers delicious southern fare. This is how the executive chef describes the atmosphere: "Our menu feels like home. It feels like sitting around the dinner table on Sunday night and talking about everything. It’s comfort food. It just warms your soul."
