50 Best American Restaurants near Toano

“Was very impressed with the new renovations, kind prompt service and the meals were great. I would recomend the Stonehouse Grill to anyone for a great dining experience with a fantastic view of the green.“

“We ate here today.The food was excellent. We had the shrimp boat as an appetizer. Enough for two. My husband had the combo, potroast & meatloaf with mashed potatoes & gravy, along with creamed spinach. I had the crab-a-bella with jasmine rice. Our server was Brandon C. This was our 2nd visit during our vacation. We encourage all to visit this resturant.“

“Once again, Jamie, Allison and everyone in the bar are the best. They treated us like family along with our daughter and son-in-law who went later in the day. Drinks are excellent. Daily specials are fantastic. Staples like the Thai Poppin Shrimp and Sesame Encrusted Tuna appetizers and entrees like their Bistro Steak, Shrimp & Griis or Virginia Style Jambalaya are incredible. Second Street easily offers the best dining experience in Williamsburg. You have to try it!“

“March 2025 | Spring Menu | My friend had the burger. It was his second time at Amber Ox, two different seasons, same protein. He loved it. He compared it to the fall menu burger and was so impressed that it was done this way. It was my birthday. I got the pork chop dish. Although, I love your menus, this is absolutely my favorite. I will be back before the end of the season for another taste. The staff were wonderful and attentive as always. You made my birthday dinner. Thank you so much.“

“Great food. Great service.“

“We made a late dinner reservation for my family. When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated immediately. We had a nice table in their dining room and our Waitress Samantha took our order quickly. We stared with the fried oysters which were absolutely delicious, then I had the Blue Cheese Burger, my sister had the turkey burger and my mom had the shrimp and chicken jambalaya. The kids had the chicken nuggets and grilled cheese. Everything was delicious and I loved my burger. I am not a huge blue cheese fan but that burger was amazing. Everything was made fresh and the service was excellent. I will definitely be back.“

“Great service and great food. Been three times and each time I’ve gotten Caesar salad that i shared with my husband. Best Caesar salad we’ve ever had. And also got the Huntsman Chicken as known as chicken parmesean the best anywhere. My husband had their salmon dish he said it was the best he ever had. Highly recommend“

“First visit but definitely not our last. Cute place, hippy vibe, great food, fantastic staff.“

“Took my husband here for his birthday. Beautiful view with the outdoor dining. Service was decent, the guy seemed to know how to juggle the tables to give good service. The food… well not so much. I had the special, asparagus was not cooked or prepared correctly. The cherry tomatoes and spinach great together with the linguine. The meat was leftovers from the night before (very well done when I asked for medium) ok with that. My husband’s meal was the pork chops with gravy and onions. The pork chops were disappointing and paper thin. Otherwise, the service decent, polite and got to the point with no small talk (which we like) and the views were beautiful!“

“Another great night at the Aberdeen Barn. Drinks and appetizers at the bar. Enjoyed an awesome conversation with a couple from Bethesda. The bartender, Ron, did a great job making all of us feel welcome.“

“We are from Tennessee. I spent 6 years living on the coast of SC and moved back several years ago to my hometown (and knew not to order seafood when in a landlocked state).I took my family to Berret’s and my oldest son who loves seafood is now ruined from eating it back home because of his newly acquired taste of fresh seafood that he got from this establishment. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular.“

“Great sandwiches and right on the runway. Highly recommend for lunch.“

“The food is excellent and our server Matthew was the best! He was personable, excellent communicator, knowledgeable, attentive and we enjoyed getting to know him. Everything we ate was delicious. Center Street Grill is a hidden gem in Williamsburg that we stumbled on thanks to a post on Neighbor to Neighbor. When I read the post I had to check out and I am so glad my husband and our good friend did. We were not disappointed and ready to go back! We will definitely add Center Street Grill to our go to place for date night and a hang out with friends!! I highly recommend!“

“A fun place for family night out or date night! Awesome food & great service.“

“I ordered the pork schnitzel. It was delicious - crispy outside and moust and tasty inside. Liked the red canbage. A little too much garlic on the spaetzle but still delicious. I had one of the house drinks and it was very smooth and had a nice combo of flavors.“

“Very nice place, historical, ground are lovely..... food service was a little slow but not unbearable, cocktails were delicious (and also a little pricey), the food was expensive for what we ordered, but it was tasty overall. They didn't have a dessert with chocolate, so that was disappointing to some in our party.“

“Was pretty upset we didn’t get to go there Fourth of July weekend. But it’s Pretty cool they shut down and take the holiday off though. More small businesses should do that when they can. We have Been before and the steak and cheese are always killer. Hopefully I get to go back soon“

“Derrick our waiter was exceptional! My daughter and I recently went to a luncheon program in the Regency Room. Other years there has been a buffet, but this time it was a set plate affair. Flank steak was on the menu! My daughter is vegetarian! I quietly inquired of Derrick if a vegetarian plate was possible? As he brought everyone at our table their meat meal, he set a vegetable meal in front of her! She was surprised and delighted! He saved the day!“

“What a wonderful evening we had! We sat at the bar and were offered cocktail suggestions and pairings. The food was absolutely wonderful. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating. The chef/owner came to see us after dinner too! We will remember this as one of our the best nights out!“

“Amazing food! Definitely returning.“

“Great breakfast of pancakes and waffles. Bring your appetite. The two pancakes are huge!“

“We loved our dinner here tonight! Our waiter, George, made the meal more like an event. He shared tons of stories and stayed to talk with us well after the dinner was over. The food was amazing but the service was even better!! Thank you George!!“

“Fast, friendly service. Great food. Loved this place on our vacation!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience from the welcoming greeters at the door to our wonderful server. The food was amazing from pea soup to steak to dessert, and the punch bowl! The Pringle’s ginger beer drink was very good, too. My daughter loved the oysters. It was a wholesome experience with live music and authenticity in the details (even the silverware is made in Williamsburg). It was also a treat to eat somewhere where historical figures dined in colonial times, but also really an art form to serve a menu inspired by recipes from the 1700s (and everything tasted amazing and fresh). The service was pretty impeccable for the whole staff (lots of servers, greeters, and staff).“

“Aside from my welcome at hotel reception, eating at the Golden Horseshoe Grill was my first impression of Williamsburg—and it was lovely! Each person who worked there was very kind, and I got to interact with at least five of the restaurant staff. The pulled pork was delicious. I sat outside and got to enjoy the view. Good people and good food. Definitely recommend!“

“This French-Belgian brasserie, near Colonial Williamsburg's Merchant's Square, served the juiciest, most tender Steak Fritte I've enjoyed in a decade. Fresh truffle fries and mixed field greens made for appropriate sides. 10/10

Wine snobs will rejoice in upright erudition after seeing the wine list. 10/10

The service was professional and friendly, and my meal arrived sooner than expected for such a refined destination restaurant. 9/10“

“The House Dressing. IYKYK“

“We enjoyed our dinner and our server, Jared, was attentive. The choice of a 70's radio station was a bit odd and even though I like the music, it would have been a more pleasant dining experience if the volume was a little lower.“

“Very nice owner and big portions.“

“Driving range is nice. The course itself is challenging, but fun“

“Our server Faith was great, she had a busy section but she didn't let her stop providing the best service possible. Overall food was great and when it comes with a smile it's even better. Definitely coming back again and asking for Faith

See you again Faith
