Southern Stomping Ground

Dear Imaginary Friends,

A new restaurant in Alexandria celebrates the South and its foodways in a whole new way. 

"Stomping Grounds" on Mt. Vernon Avenue serves up delicious biscuits decked with tasty fried chicken thighs. They are served up two ways: the Classic serves up the above with pimento cheese and a few sweet pickle slices. 

The Un-Classic has a delicious non-traditional sauce.  It gets my vote!!

The Farmers Salad is not my fave. It is super healthy, but has a bitter taste. 

I love the mismatched china and the friendly owner. 

The service could really use some consistency. Sometimes it is great and sometimes non-existent. 

It is worth eating here, and you can also get take out. 

Bon appetit,

 Your imaginary friend Patsie
