Restaurants near Gloucester Courthouse

“Had an excellent time here for a dinner for 2. The pork chop was delicious and cooked to perfection. Half rack of ribs was finger licking good. The Lulu coleslaw was surprisingly tasty.

Super attentive staff, we felt very well taken care of here. Environment was cozy and inviting, a place you can feel good going casual or step it up for a date night.

It was our first time here but already have plans to try some of the other menu items.”

“Most authentic Italian food for miles. 10/10”

“They have the BEST staff and the BEST homemade ice cream flavors. Our favorite flavor is Lavender Honey but all of them are great.”

“Wife and I stopped here for lunch while passing through. She had alfredo and I had manicotti. The food was excellent! This is a little family restaurant but the interior is quite cute with a nice Italian theme. They were actually playing real Italian music and speaking to each other in Italian...very cool!”

“My husband and I enjoyed our Valentines dinner this evening at Olivia's in the Village. We had a 6:30 reservation and even though the restaurant was very busy, we were seated immediately. The food and service were wonderful as always. Thank you!”

“Last night, we held a 65th birthday party on the deck to open Fiorello’s summer al fresco dining experience. If you are considering a party at a fine dining establishment, I highly recommend Fiorello’s Ristorante Italiano in White Marsh (Gloucester County, VA). The food is delicious, and the service was beyond compare. We had a private party on the deck for dinner and live music. Fiorello’s staff went above and beyond our expectations. A good time was had by all.”

“I ate the best sandwich in my life at Sweet Tooth Cafe today. the staff was wonderful and patient with us. the food is incredible. The baked goods fabulous.”

“Had a fantastic experience with Scoot's BBQ! Got it for lunch and was not disappointed. Tender and delicious brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. If you are in the area, it is a must try!”

“Great food and Much better service”

“IDK if yall have been to IDK Raw Bar & Grill but I have to brag about our experience. The staff was kind, accommodating, and fast! The building itself is really nice and the table tops and counter tops which were done by the owner are super cool. The food yall! The food was amazing! I tried a little of the crab cakes my husband ordered, best dang crab cakes I've ever had! The fried pickles were great, a band mate had a reuban which he said was great and my daughter had the steamed shrimp! Also amazing! But, my favorite of the night was the bottle caps. Fried jalapeños. So great I ordered some to go too. We will be back for the food! This place was really quite wonderful.”

“My husband and I actually prefer Los Portales in comparison to Juan’s. However tonight was awkward, because after TWO bites into my delicious steak fajita taco salad we were splashed by the busser who was NOISILY bussing the booth to my left (and before that, noisily bussing the booth behind my husband). She apologized, but it was too late—I was grossed out and went in search for the manager while wiping my face and arm. Long story short—we were offered another meal, but just too grossed out to stay and eat. Our waitress was so apologetic and would not take a tip. We do like the food, but it will be a while before we return. Noisily bussing tables using a bussing cart next to patrons who are eating is a very unpleasant distraction and just tacky, PERIOD!”

“The Office has been my go-to spot for great drinks, great food, and absolutely stellar service for 5 years now. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're ever in the area and need a good drink, check this place out.”

“If popeye's chicken is the devils chicken than I'm thankful that chick-fil-a is the lords chicken 🙏. I have never had a bad time or bad food here. And the employee Derrell is hands down the nicest dude on earth and I would be so upset if he left there.”

“The caterer for my wedding on 6/14/25 backed out the night before with no refund. Patriots Grill was able to come through in the 11th hour and help us out. Everyone was fed and happy, the food was great, and I cannot thank Gabriel and his team enough for their empathy, help and support. A wonderful family owned place with a great heart!”

“Awesome local spot with seriously good beer! The Strawberry Blonde Ale is a standout — crisp, light, and just the right touch of berry. The whole place has a relaxed, family-friendly vibe with plenty of outdoor seating and room to hang. Perfect for a sunny day, and definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to.”

“Visited this restaurant today for the first time. Food was excellent. My husband is a big burger guy and he has now found his favorite burger spot. I had the crab cake sandwich with fries and I can honestly say the chef did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and delicious. We definitely will be back again.”

“People are very nice the food is ok but could be better would let to see more quality food for the price should be bigger place not very much room in the whole place very crowded all the time not that it's not saying it's not good food just needs more room I prefer not to be hitting so strangers in the elbow while eating”

“The food here is amazing and the staff is so friendly. My family has been coming here for the last 7 years and we will keep coming for many more.”

“Great Staff - Friendly Service and the Food is delicious! Highly recommended!😋”

“Tried going for dinner tonight and one employee made us change our mind. From the moment we walked in the door, he had an issue. Then was complaining because they were running low on bread and continued to talk about it. While we waited maybe 5 minutes that all he did, we are almost out of lettuce and bread, we are going to have to close. Then another employee walked out of the restroom and he told him we are almost of of fricken bread. We turned around and walked out. Usually it's a wonderful experience, just not tonight.”

“For sure some of the best wines and sangrias I’ve ever tasted. I love the colorful design of your labels! The cranberry lime and the vanilla chai are to die for. By far my favorite winery at the Caledon festival today. So glad we found yall!”

“Went here for a friend's birthday. The food was really good! Our cook was really great as well. He is pretty funny as well. We got served our food pretty quickly as well. I liked how efficient it was! The price here is really nice as well. Pretty darn cheap, too. Would definitely come back!”

“We enjoyed our visit to Dano's. The food was fresh and the service was friendly! We had pizza, wings, mozzarella sticks, and fried mushrooms... oh, and fries! Those fries were so good!!

So the pizza was delicious. Had plenty of toppings. We had a meat lovers and it did not disappoint.

Oh, we had a steak n cheese sub, too. It was just right. I ordered the 6 in and it was filled with good steak & melty cheese - I added mushrooms and sweet peppers 😋. I tried to get a good picture (after I'd been munching on it 😂) to show you the inside, but the pic really doesn't do it justice. I'd asked our server about the bread before ordering, and the bread was literally perfect. It had the slightest toast which gave it wonderful texture while maintaning the soft freshness throughout. (She told me you can order your bread anyway you like, so if you're more of a toasted bread person, let them know.)

The wings were really good too. Good sauce flavor (we had hot) and they gave us more sauce upon request. The wings were cooked well, creating a tender bite with just the right snap.

The mozzarella sticks had crazy cheese pull! And the marinara that came with was a good accompaniment. Finally, the fried mushrooms were run of the mill, but again, fresh and served with a great attitude.

The owner made rounds to check on us and make sure everything was to our liking. That was thoughtful and welcome.

We would definitely go back again.

(Don't judge these pics; we started eating before I thought to take them.)”

“My daughter in law and I stopped in for the first time yesterday. We both got the Monte Cristo, and OMG!!! Soooo freaking delicious! That jam, powdered sugar, cheese, sourdough...oh and the meat...messy and yummy! I splurged on the cinnamon toast crunch mega bar. All I can say is...I ate the whole thing! We'll be back!!!”

“Always good food, great staff and friendly prices! We'll be back and if you're in the area you should try them too. Then check out the mural on the end of the mall.”

“I went to lunch at sals on Sunday afternoon, right as you walk in the restaurant is clean and visually appealing. The staff greeted us warmly and sat us almost immediately. Our waitress was a woman named Chey and she was so incredibly sweet. Very helpful with our questions, very kind and very quick to take care of us. The food came out very fast, was fresh and absolutely delicious. We will for sure be coming back! Thanks again Sal and Chey!”

“Opening day and I was in and out in 15 mins!! That’s pretty good. I believe these are the same owners as the Yorktown location and they run a top notch store. Clean and efficient! So excited to have them in Gloucester right around the corner. Great job to their staff today! It was busy and they were all well composed. 👏🏻 😋”

“Papa John's is my favorite fast pizza. I no longer live within 1 hrs of one, and definitely not within delivery distance. Thus particular one was cleaner than most, on my way elsewhere, and an apt reproduction of the company product. 100% of what you desire from chain pizza.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Cindy for our wedding cake, and she exceeded every expectation. From our first tasting, her sweet and genuine personality made us feel at ease. It was clear right away that she cared about making our day perfect.

The four-tier cake she created was stunning—honestly the most beautiful cake I’ve ever seen. It was a true centerpiece at our wedding. We couldn’t decide between strawberry and coconut cream, so she made both flavors and it was a hit! The cake was incredibly moist, and the buttercream was unbeatable. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it.

If you want a baker who not only creates a gorgeous cake but also pours love and care into making your day unforgettable, Cindy is the one for you! Highly recommend!”
