Enjoy A Tasty Meal From Magpie Diner, Located In A Converted 1950s Tire Service Station In Virginia
It never ceases to amaze us how many of Virginia’s most loved restaurants are located in buildings that served totally different purposes. Take, for example, Magpie Diner. This trendy and modern diner is located in a building that used to be a tire service station in the 1950s. Much of the integrity of the building is intact, but it serves a completely different purpose. Step inside today, and you’ll be delighted by this fascinating history. And just wait till you check out the menu!
Magpie Diner was established in 2020, although the building itself has been around for decades. Renovated and revamped, it now houses one of the best breakfast spots in town.
How about a stack of French toast, fresh blackberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup?
The breakfast sandwiches are also a big hit. Select your choice of freshly-baked breads, croissants, or bagels, and fill them up with a selection of eggs, cheeses, bacon, sausage, or ham.
If you're open to trying something outside of the classic diner menu, opt for the breakfast tacos, made with scrambled eggs and chorizo. They're life-changing!
The best part of all? Magpie also doubles as a bakery and coffeehouse. Order up a freshly-baked pie (or a slice) to enjoy along with your morning brew.
