Woodbridge is packed with standard dining options, but the real magic happens in the historic buildings and unassuming corners. Here are five culinary secrets you need to check out.
Strickland’s Steakhouse
Housed inside the historic 1900s Woodbridge National Bank building on Main Street, this is a modern twist on the traditional steakhouse. Owned by a local husband-and-wife duo, it features a speakeasy atmosphere on the first floor and serves premium dry-aged steaks. The 20-foot ceilings and crafted cocktails make it the most stunning hidden gem in town.
Hichki
This is not just another standard Indian restaurant. Hichki is bringing unique, mind-blowing dishes from every corner of India right to Woodbridge. From Ram Ladoos to an unforgettable Bihari Chicken Curry, they are pushing boundaries and serving up explosive flavors. It is a fine-dining experience that completely redefines what you expect from local Indian cuisine.
Woodbridge Brewing Co.
Far more than just a place to grab a beer. This spot is a legitimate culinary gem that combines a rustic-chic decor with an incredibly vibrant energy. The menu is carefully curated to elevate standard pub fare into something memorable. With locally inspired drinks and a staff that treats you like a regular on day one, it is a must-visit destination.
Violette’s
A bi-level contemporary speakeasy experience redefining “vibe dining” in Woodbridge. Designed to intrigue, the space features warm salt brick accents and a mixology-driven energy. The transition from a high-end dinner to artfully crafted late-night cocktails is completely seamless. It is intimate, electric, and easily the most anticipated new venue in the area.
