“Hidden gem, out in the middle of nowhere. Food was really good, service good. Place isn't fancy, but a great place to meet friends, have a pleasant conversation and eat tasty ”
“The people who own my local favorite seafood joint have a fancier place a couple towns over! I love everything on the menu so far. You can't go wrong with these menus, everything on it is good”
“Just driving through. Regrettably went to Mcds first but experienced extremely poor customer service there so came across the street and was pleasantly surprised. It seems just simple kindness is lacking everywhere these days. Not here. Stop by to see for yourself. Toni and other staff member were kind and treated us respectfully. Thanks ladies, wish we lived in your town.Kid-friendliness: Staff was super friendly to my 8 year old whereas many just ignore kids.”
“Stoped by after being on the road getting gas..it was so close I could’ve walked..I went through the drive thru and had to wait but worth it because everything was FRESH!! Haven’t eaten at a McDonald’s in many of years and they stepped their game up..quarter pounder with cheese and bacon with a small fry..”
“My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary there and we were amazed. The staff is awesome, the food was incredible and our waitress was impeccable. We will be back and we will bring others. This was by far THE best meal we have ever eaten, and we are from Washington DC where you can dine on Michelin star restaurants easily.This meal and restaurant supersedes all expectations.”
“Absolutely delicious food!! Large portions that left no room for dessert. Will be back soon!!Update:I've gotten hooked on the shrimp and grits. I literally make the half hour drive just to satisfy this craving. It is THAT good y'all! Even on their busiest day, the service is impeccable. Someone is always checking on you and the owner even stops by the tables to have a quick chat with diners. It's amazing!The only complaint I have is that I wish it was closer to home, but if it was, I'd probably go broke dining there every day.Also, the bartender made the most delicious virgin ginger mojito I've ever tasted and the piece of sugar cane reminds me of home! Very nice!Lovely place, fast service, great atmosphere! Will be back!!Update 2024Food for thought should be the service model that all restaurants go by! Impeccable in every way! And to get your meal within 8-12 minutes of ordering is unheard of! Totally worth the drive!Mr. Howard is such a nice man too. I truly love this place!”
“Ask for Kristy if you go!! The hostess that seated us could use some training as she had an attitude with us when we politely asked to switch tables, she threw the menus on the table and walked away. Kristy came and saved the experience for us though! We come at least once a year and she’s by far the best server we’ve had. We both got steaks this time and they were cooked very well, but the Brussels sprouts live in my mind they are so good!”
“A great dinner tonight with friends. This is one of our favorite places in Williamsburg. It is very quaint and the food is excellent. They also have a really good wine list that is reasonably priced.”
“I lived in PA for 40+ years and have eaten at almost every decent Philly Cheese Steak shop between Philly and Harrisburg. Tip: The best Philly cheese steak is in Harrisburg and Hampden Township.Rick's makes a pretty good cheese steak. The rolls aren't quite as good as Philly Amoroso rolls. But they are dense and support the cheese steak well. Nice crust and chewy texture. High quality meat and lots of it! Most beef I've ever had on a quality cheese steak. I prefer provolone, onions, sauce and light hot peppers. Rick's mixes the cheese into everything on the grill, including the sauce. I prefer the sauce poured over the steak in the hoagie roll. Sauce maintains it's flavor that way. But all in all, an excellent cheese steak.French fries were slightly under done. Need to be crispier with more color. Fries are large crinkle cut.Server was friendly and efficient. Knew his product well. The restaurant was clean and bright. Apparently it has been recently remodeled. Steady stream of business on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of parking.We'll be back!”
“Harris James was absolutely outstanding. By far one of the best waiters that we have ever had. We both grew up in Williamsburg. Food was awesome. Do yourself a favor and experience this restaurant.”
“I am a true foodie, have traveled to over 30 countries always seeking the very best restaurants I could find, and Fat Canary is one of the best....hands down ! .....the food is amazing, the soups are truly chef masterpieces. The service is always amazing. Do not believe any negative comments, I know this is an amazing restaurant based on my experiences.”
“The food is delicious, hands down. But there's always a wait, so go early. Love the atmosphere, and the staff are really friendly. Only 4 stars bc I've gone for the $1 oysters several times, and the wait is always so long that I miss the window of opportunity.Update: something must have changed because I have gotten several times this year and have had no waiting. Worth noting, reservations are required to sit inside. However, the manager, Tyler, is outstanding! And the service and food continue to impress.”
“Charming environment with very kind and efficient staff. When you walk in, the building has a wonderful pancake aroma. They also have a pretty extensive gluten free menu. Shanice was our server and she did a great job.Dietary restrictions: They have a whole section of their menu dedicated to gluten free options!Kid-friendliness: A great place to bring kidsWheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking and accessible through the front door”
“Everything was great! Small wait time was no big deal, considering the service and food that was served! Kelley was our waitress and she was awesome and very attentive! Chef's kiss ? to the chef! Food was amazing.Vegetarian options: Great lunch and breakfast options for vegetarians. Menu is clearly markedKid-friendliness: There's a kids menu in the corner ?”
“Ordered the fajitas for two special for $24.99 to go. I couldn't believe how generous the servings were and to get beef, chicken and shrimp for this price is unbeatable. The taste and quality were outstanding. The small restaurant is located in a shopping strip and was packed. This restaurant needs to be in a space with at least 2 times its' current capacity. The staff kept me in the loop on my order status while I was waiting.”
“As a Cuban who has lived in Richmond for the past two years, I have been so disappointed by the lack of authentic Cuban cuisine and false advertisement of such at certain restaurants. Ironically enough, having been at a “Cuban” restaurant for breakfast led me to research actual authentic Cuban cuisine, which is how I found K’Bola. We drove an hour out to Williamsburg just to have our cravings satisfied and it did not disappoint! The food is absolutely delicious, 100% authentic, and the service is 10/10. We will definitely be coming back for more and don’t mind making the drive at all. So worth it!”
“I had the flounder. I only thought to take a picture after I ate most of the flounder! My older boys liked the ravioli with chicken. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was excellent and food was prepared quickly.”
“The ambience and decor was lovely and comfortable. Our waiter Carlos was very genial and helpful. The food came very quickly. I had scallops, corn, grits, and green beans. That were the best scallops I have ever had an addition scallops or plentiful amazingly. It was all delicious with green beans and vegetables all cooked perfectly and tasty Had fried green tomatoes. I asked to speak to the chef who is Ken Brown. He was very generous with his time to spend a few minutes with us. My husband had tuna with Matt and cheese, which was delicious. We had complementary cornbread and hush puppies to begin with we have been in many five star restaurants , and this was the best food we’ve ever had”
“From ambiance & wafting aromas when you first walk in to receiving your meal everything is great. Quick & attentive service & friendly and calm environment with intimate dim lighting and inviting decor. My favorite dish is the curry goat (spice level 3 is perfect for me- I love hot dishes) plus garlic naan bread. Pear + honey ice cream dessert is delicious and unique! Definitely suggest to all, less busy throughout the week & busier on the weekends, delicious either days.”
“Awesome dogs! The atmosphere is comfortable, the hot dogs are great, and the beer is cold. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about his dogs—this is important if you are a serious dog lover. What more can you ask for?Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space with a comfortable and friendly environment. High chairs are also available.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out of the restaurant.”
“Came here after an unpleasant experience next door at Olive Garden. Restaurant closes at 10pm. We had a party of 8 and walked in around 8:25pm. We had left Olive Garden due to them making us feel unwelcome for coming in so late with a large party. Our server Juliette at Carrabbas was amazing. She was very sweet and attentive to us, even being close to closing time. The manager Rachel was awesome as well! We thanked her and her staff for a great dining experience. Thank you Carrabba's! Eat here instead of the Olive Garden better staff, better atmosphere.”
“We are so excited to claim Marsala Craft Indian Kitchen as our new favorite restaurant in Williamsburg, VA! We felt a genuine warm hospitable welcome as we were seated immediately in a lovely atmosphere. The quality of service was so impressive and it was obvious that the family who owns Marsala Craft went above and beyond to accommodate our family’s dining needs. Our choice meals were absolutely the best Indian food we’ve ever had! We loved the comfortable vibes, while enjoying every bite of deliciousness! We thank you for your impeccable quality of food and service. You certainly exceeded our expectations! We look forward to trying new menu options and of course making more memories for years to come!!”
“Absolutely a must do if you are in Colonial Williamsburg. Authentic experience complete with music, colonial dress and even a few other suprises that only enhance the overall vibe. I wasn't sure what to expect from the menu as the offerings weren't as numerous as one might expect. We had the Chicken, and To Fry Fish and both were 6 Stars on a 5 Star scale. Cannot wait to go back!!”
“Coffee was decent, not the best I’ve ever had but also not the worst I’ve had. It was a decent wait for our lattes to be made considering there was only 1 person in front of us. Wouldn’t go out of my way to stop here.”
“Amanda was incredible. She was attentive and professional. The food was delicious and reasonable b. Our food came quickly and had great flavor. The drinks were wonderful and ”
“We've been here for breakfast several times and have never been disappointed. The fruit is always fresh & plentiful. We decided to try lunch and it was even better than breakfast. The club sandwich is a must try!! We take advantage of the punch card and get every 5th meal free. Definately one of our favorite places to eat!”
“Laura is a sharp, attentive, friendly and personable server. The food and drink are locally sourced and they're gluten and allergy friendly. Highly recommend!”
“We happened upon this spot because everything else was super crowded. It was busy here too but the bar area was open seating and we quickly snagged 2 spots. We ordered drinks & pizza at the bar. The bartender was very friendly. They accidentally fixed our pizza incorrectly but quickly remade it. They offered us the first pizza for free, so we had a lot of pizza! I recommend the thin crust, it was really good.”
“Absolutely delicious food, especially the tacos. The oysters were not the best I’ve had only because I’m a professional oyster diver and connoisseur. Heard they have great cocktails but I got a lager which was great. Thanks to the owner, mike wazowski for the wonderful experience.”
“Best pastries in the area…they don’t do the typical super sweet pastries, but the delicious only slightly sweet pastries you find in Europe. Absolutely fantastic.”
