A Major Determinant in Returning to a Restaurant is DESSERT, Dude!!!
Here Are Our Best Bets:
(Not Listed in Order of Preference)
Bread Pudding
Restaurant One

John Hagan’s Tavern
c.1785
Fine Food & Drinks
5018 Old National Pike
Braddock Heights, Maryland 21714

The outstanding item here (not to be missed) is the fresh, baked-in-house desserts including a delicious bread pudding, cheesecake (made with raspberries recently), a rum cake, and chocolate parfait - save room for these as they are exceptional.

Restaurant Two

Mealey's - New Market, (MD)
(Located at 8 Main Street - Take I-270 from the DC area I-70 South of Frederick
Then on I-70 East to Route 75 and New Market.)

Check out the menu at Mealey's Restaurant. The atmosphere is that of an early tavern with several rooms for your dining experience. Mealey’s combines casual and fine dining in a warm historic atmosphere. Dinner is served six night per week-Lunch Friday and Saturday.


The Bread Pudding (with bourbon sauce) at Mealey's is round, deliciously sweet, and not overwhelming in size (allowing for a comfortable conclusion to an excellent meal). The bourbon sauce is unique in our experience and makes the Bread Pudding here worth recommending a trip to this restaurant for the dessert alone.

Restaurant Three

The Coach Stop - Middleburg, (VA)
(Located at 9 East Washington Street.)
Take the Greenway (Dulles Toll Road) or Route 7 from the DC area.

Check out the menu at The Coach Stop. The Coach Stop offers breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. Their menu is traditional American and items are homemade and delicious.

The Bread Pudding is warm, dark and smooth as a super chocolate cake, but with a perfectly unmistakable home-made pudding flavor. Even the vanilla ice cream served with the pudding is superb. We meant to ask what the brand was, but it worked so well with the pudding, we decided it really didn't matter.

Chocolate Cake
Home-Made Pies

Moms Apple Pie Store
220 Loudoun Street, SE, Leesburg, VA 20175
(NOTE: Web Site says Herndon, but Store Located In Leesburg)

Here's is what the folks at Moms say about their pies and you'll get no argument from us:

"We still peel fresh, Shenandoah Valley apples and hand mix only premium fresh and frozen fruits for making Mom's pies. We add sugar sparingly, so you can savor the fruits of Mom's labor in all their naturally potent splendor. And Mom's crust? This is one crust that won't be left on the plate. Mom's crust is super-flaky and very tasty."

Our personal favorites are their bourbon walnut pie, their chocolate pecan pie and their wonderful quiches - oh my, they are just great, unbelievably great!!
