The Two Door: Where Everyone Knows Your Name

People come from all over town to eat and drink at The Two Door restaurant at 176 Hamilton Ave in Chickahominy. The restaurant is a longtime destination, and, on a recent fish and chips night there wasn’t an empty seat in the restaurant.

The Two Door has two main specials, Thursday night is chicken Parmesan and Friday night is fish and chips. Both nights require reservations at least a few days in advance to secure a table.
