What a great place for breakfast, and guess what – you can get up late and still have Pancakes, Eggs, an Omelet, a Waffle, because Keystone Grill serves breakfast and lunch all day! The lunch menu offers Burgers, Sandwiches, BBQ, Salads, Hot Dogs, Ribs, Chicken & more. They have milkshakes and ice cream cones too. Be sure that you take a photo in front of the LOVE sign out front and when you come in take a selfie with Big Boy too. It is all fun, and delicious.

If you have not toured the Keystone Antique Truck & Tractor Museum, it opens at 10 so schedule your breakfast or lunch so that you can see the hundreds (not an exaggeration) of tractors, trucks, incredible classic cars and so much more. When you are dining, you can look in and see a small portion of the museum collection and you will not believe it until you see it all.

Shrimp Mofongo (perfect for garlic lovers), the HUGE Cuban Sandwich and a Beef Empanada (the pastry/crust is amazing) was perfect for a lunch. Everything is so tasty and freshly made from scratch. Speaking of which, note the sign that is above the counter telling you to patiently wait for your masterpiece. If you’re in a big hurry, come back and try it another day. This is a super casual place with a few tables and chairs, and where the food is the star attraction. And the desserts can’t be missed.. You can call and order food to-go too.

]]> WTVR – It has all the makings of a tall tale. They say that down in Colonial Heights, there’s still a living witness to, not just the Civil War, but the American Revolution. As far fetched as that sounds, it’s true.

Sitting high atop a hill in the 300 block of Virginia Avenue, right next to the historic Violet Bank Museum, you’ll find a truly unique tree that, in the words of one arborist, is hiding in plain sight.

Locals call it the ‘Cucumber Tree.’ Technically, it’s a Magnolia acuminate, native to the eastern United States, but very rare this side of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

“This is a remarkable, giant old tree,” said Joel Koci, an urban forestry expert for the Virginia Cooperative Extension. “I like to think it’s 300 years old and has seen an awful lot of history.”
