Getting your order out Route 3 west

Lake of the Woods and Locust Grove are about 23 miles from our kitchen, roughly 35 to 38 minutes' drive in light traffic. From Southpoint you head north to I-95 Exit 130, then west on Route 3 past Chancellorsville and the Wilderness battlefield. Route 3 through Central Park can crawl on weekend afternoons, so leave room when you are collecting for an evening event.

Place and confirm your order at least 24 hours before the event; pickup at our Southpoint Parkway kitchen begins when we open at 11 am. If you are already in Fredericksburg for errands, picking up on the way home is a natural fit. We also deliver here: Lake of the Woods and Locust Grove are inside our delivery area (50 miles from the restaurant), so we can bring the order to the clubhouse, a church hall or your home. Delivery is $10 for addresses within 20 miles of the restaurant, $20 for 20 to 40 miles and $30 for 40 to 50 miles. Orange, about 40 miles out, is within range too.

Who we feed out Route 3

A mezze spread for a clubhouse social

For a standing social where guests graze and chat, small bites work better than a plated buffet. This spread for 30 leans on Lebanese mezze: dips, grape leaves and spinach pies by the dozen, a tabouleh tray and bread, with baklava to finish.

Hosting a larger clubhouse event? Setup and wait staff are available on request, priced with your quote, so the committee can enjoy the evening too.

If the social runs through dinner, add a hot tray or two. Cheese pies and kibbie make it heartier, and kabobs can be mixed by the skewer (a kabob minimum applies).

Questions people ask

How long is the drive from Aladin to Lake of the Woods?

About 35 to 38 minutes in light traffic, by I-95 to Exit 130 and then Route 3 west.

What is a good amount of food for a clubhouse social?

Use the mezze plan above as a starting point; it sizes a grazing spread for 30. For a sit-down dinner, cover each course once: each large tray serves 20–22.

Do you cater in Orange?

Yes. Orange is about 40 miles from our kitchen, roughly an hour's drive in light traffic, and inside our delivery area (50 miles from the restaurant).
