Final Word
These restaurants aren’t just a place where you can buy some good food, these buildings have witnessed truly historic and important moments through the centuries.
Eating in one of these places can be an amazing experience and I believe everyone should eat in at least one of them. The culture, the tradition and the history can be tasted with just one bite.
Take a step into the past with just a delicious meal in any of these 8 wonderful restaurants, we bet that the ambiance, the gourmet food and the staff will make you never want to leave again.

WOW – this is fascinating. Keeping on my ‘travel bucket list’ emails.
Lucky enough to have been to 3. Would personally also add Beechman arms if Rhinebeck NY to the list though the inn itself, like the wayside Inn in MA are mire spectacular tan even the wonderful food.
It is amazing that these landmarks have been preserved! How precious is our history. We have one here in Natchez called Kings Tavern. It has a history to match the Natchez Trace, with weary travelers stopping there. At present it is up for sale, and it is so sad to see it just sit there. We are a tourist town, and no one has picked up the challenge to save it.
None in the South. The yankee barbarians burned them all down.
While in Boston years ago, we ate at the oyster bar. It was really great as I just love our American history, so much of which has been lost.
What about the WASHINGTON INN & HOTEL in Princess Anne Md? It was constructed early 1800’s. Legend has it that George Washington walked those floors. Martha Custis Washington had relatives a few miles south of Princess Anne, the legend fits.
