Restaurants in Williamsburg

“Me Yaca is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. Our waitress was so wonderful and attentive and the food was great. The lobster is to die for!! Our experience was great from the time we stepped into the door until we left. You won't be disappointed!! I would give it more stars if I could.”

“On Sept 9 2022 my friends visited Carrabba in Williamsburg during our excusion. The server, Laura, was more of a treat than what we could have imagined. She was friendly, acompandating to us, the seasoned ladies. She knew what to say and how to interpret facial expressions. She didn't get upset when a dish had to be sent back. The manager was gracious also. But Laura, is the consummate server and needs to train others on how to be kind to others whether you want to or not. Give her a Raise!!! We will be back.”

“Great food and excellent service from our waitress Amanda!”

“When we arrived we were told the wait would be 20 minutes, but we're called to a table in 5 minutes. The waitress immediately came to our table and took our drink order. Drinks took 10 minutes then we ordered and our meals were done in 10. The service was incredible and food was perfect. would definitely recommend it”

“Outstanding seafood, a welcoming atmosphere, and impeccable service. Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in Williamsburg. Already looking forward to my next visit!”

“This is a great dinner spot. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely on point. Server gave great suggestions for both food and drink. We will be back.”

“This place is everything you could ask for in a hotdog place. My only complaint is that we aren't local!!! we may or may not choose our next vacation location close by just to be able to come here again.”

“Kingship coffee is so good I decided to serve it exclusively at my Bistro & Bakery. Viktor is expertly knowledgeable in the many facets of roasting and brewing, it is mind boggling. The customer service is a standard bearer for other local businesses.”

“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.”

“Keep up the amazing job. The food, service, and hospitality are at its finest. We look forward to seeing you all soon. We travel from Hampton roads area to enjoy a delicious meal. Teresa and friends.”

“Anya, Christina and the chef were very nice and professional. They responded in as timely manner. They had a pleasing personality. The taste and quantity of the food was good. GThe atmosphere was excellent.”

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had. This is real authentic Italian food.”

“We dropped in for lunch for the first time and we are glad we did. The Philly cheese steak sandwich, pastrami sandwich potato wedges and coleslaw were all absolutely delicious. Definitely a gem within the shopping center.”

“Absolutely authentic and delicious! We tried a little bit of everything, but that slab of fried catfish won - hands down! Gatorade bites were fantastic and the shrimp po boy was loaded down with shrimp.”

“Everything was obviously home made. Best meal I have had in 30 years. Food and staff were a 15 out of 10. Highly recommend!!!”

“Delicious food and wonderful service.”

“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!”

“Awesome food and service, will be back!”

“Unbelievable birthday dinner tonight with my wife and friends. Everything was perfect... atmosphere, food, service.... 10/10!!! Cannot wait to go back!”

“We Truly Enjoyed Our Recent Mother’s Day Brunch!!!!! The Service Was Great & Our Meals Were Delish ?”

“Very fast service.Highly Recommended”

“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).”

“Hands down the absolute best thai cuisine in S.E. Virginia. My wife and I have dined here several times over the past few years and if we were not moving across the country we would definitely return. The owners are wonderful and always knew what our favorite dishes were. 5☆'s”

“What an amazing Gluten free menu! The best Gluten free Italian we have had in years! Thank You so much for such an amazing dinner.”

“An absolute gem of a restaurant. Very friendly staff, good food, extremely fresh ingredients, everything was done that day nothing had lingered in storage it was incredibly fresh.

Nice selection of international wines as well. We enjoyed several bottles and look forward to exploring others.

There were 7 of us on a rainy Wednesday night and all 7 enjoyed the meal, all 7 making plans to return and telling friends to be sure to go.

The meal was well paced, no one felt rushed, the staff was very helpful and engaged in joyful conversations.

As mentioned definitely going back.”

“Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and great wine”

“Absolutely a fantastic experience in every aspect. From the welcoming staff, upscale club house, impressive and well manicured golf course, restaurant workers, etc….my wife and I had a day we will never forget. We will definitely be back again.”

“There were four of us that went out to eat we started with appetizers the couple we went with, had the peppered sea scallops, and the New Orleans style barbecue shrimp each couple shared the appetizers, which were delicious for the main course. I had the 12 ounce fillet mignon, which is called the Oscar nine, which had a marinated portobello mushroom cap under the fillet and on top was jumbo lump crab meatwith asparagus and sauce, my wife had the pan roasted chilean Seabass with rice a side of asparagus with hollandaise sauce and sweet potato we also split the twin South African rock lobster tails to make it a surf and turf special. Our friends had the fillet 8 ounce with lobster tail, baked potato and our other friend had the cowboy cut ribeye steak bone in Oscar style with a side of asparagus with hollandaise sauce and scallop potatoes are served. Jake was fantastic. He was there if we needed anything. They also brought bread and rolls to our table along with honey infused butter to start the meal, and I had a dirty martini with three olives, and ended the meal with black French pressed coffee and a snifter of white Sambuca with three coffee beans. They also split an order of crème brûlée for dessert. The meal and dessert and appetizers were all fantastic. Highly recommend will definitely come back. It was worth the price.”

“every single item I've ever tasted has been truly inspired by all the gods! if you want breads baked to perfection this is your spot!”

“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!”

“Clear directions to location. Arrived at 0510 for a 0600 appointment. Checked in on Kiosk. On dock by 0530. Loaded by 0615 and headed to the scale for check out. Only gave 4 stars because of the parking lot. Be sure to watch out for potholes.”

“The 757 Key Lime is the “Best Ice Cream I have Ever Had”.

Eating it was a core food memory in my life.

The key lime was perfect, the little crust bits were perfect, and the marshmallow-y stuff in it added such good texture. The flavor and texture were just a match in Heaven.

No exaggeration. This was The Best Ice Cream I have Ever Had.

The key lime is only available every once in a while. Good thing or I’d be broke!”

“Our fav!!! We absolutely love the food and atmosphere and will go out of our way to dine here. Absolutely delicious every time!”

“Great place to go for any occasion if that be studying or business meeting.”

“Everyone check out this place. We all know that nowadays excellent customer service and good food is hard to find but I was blown away. First my matcha boba was the best I’ve ever had, then I was waiting there for my food and they brought me out a little scoop of ice cream just to be nice and then the sushi was so fresh and delicious. All around 10/10 and so clean inside. This place deserves more recognition!!! And to add, I never leave reviews good or bad but best believe, I’m going on every app I can today!”

“I am a new customer and I am very pleased with everything”

“We brought my mother in law here for her first time and let me just say—it was love at first bite. The char-grilled oysters? Life changing. She was mid-sentence and just stopped to close her eyes and savor (I kid you NOT!) that’s when I knew we made the right decision in bringing her to one of our favorite spots. I’ve been coming here with my husband for a while now, and they never miss. We split the grilled fish (always fresh, always flavorful), and we request the chili oil on the side because a little goes a long way. Pro tip: their house hot sauce? We buy it every time we’re there. We also ordered the ceviche (refreshing, balanced, and beautifully plated, and their margarita is one of the few in town that actually tastes crafted—not syrupy. The War & Pisco cocktail was a surprise favorite for my MIL; light, sparkling, with a perfect hint of raspberry and basil. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for a date night or introducing someone to your go-to local gem. Every time we visit, the food is consistent, the service is kind but never pushy, and we leave talking about what we’ll order next time.”

“This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to! True authentic food. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often! Everything from the bread, pasta dishes, to the desserts are all homemade and SO good. We even had a musician come and serenade us! 10/10!!!”

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg. Great authentic and delicious Italian food.😋”

“Yes. They do give you a lot of steak, but the taste is so bland. At least throw some Montreal seasoning on it. Folks think it's good now if you do that it's really gonna do well. I give it a 6.2 out of 10”

“We always eat here any time that we are in Williamsburg. I almost always have the same thing because it is just so damn good; hot pastrami sub and an order of fries. The sub bun is perfect and the pastrami serving is very generous and very flavorful and very filling too. The fries serving fills the plate and cooked just right. On our way back home, we stop by again and take a sub with us to enjoy that evening. This Deli has our strongest recommendation.”

“Came here with my mother-in-law and will rave about the amazing kashmiri, sweet and tangy Chaat of the Day and lamb roth josh that tasted just as amazing the next day. 5. Stars!”

“An excellent diner in throwback fashion with Southern hospitality and tremendous food. Jackie our waitress was warm, charming and attentive. Great food, great ambience and friendly service. From a NJ native where diners abound, this one is a gem.”

“Love this place.”

“you have to try the cinnamon swirl pancakes. awesome! and you'll get at least 2 meals out of one order.”

“Might be the best moussaka we've ever had, so good. The pastichio was also very good. The desserts were incredible, especially the Blackforest Cup!!! We're coming back for another. The service was perfect.”

“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.”

“First time ever going and WOW were the cookies worth every penny! They were even amazing the next day! Staff was so friendly and helpful with ordering. Definitely will go back next time in town!”

“cute set up The owners were very friendly coffee, donuts, and bagels were all very good”

“Went last night and the food and atmosphere were wonderful. The workers were awesome and super friendly.”

“Great chicken sandwich. I got the Nashville hot. Good bite and the chicken was juicy. Could have been a little hotter but a good taste nonetheless. I’ll have to try the custard next time.”

“I usually visit Spartan Gyros whenever I’m in Williamsburg. I usually get the Prometheus Gyro because it’s so good. If I was able to I’d stop in more often and try other things but I can’t pass up the Prometheus!”

“Delicious food- fun vibe! We will be back!”

“Jake "Demigod" was the best employee ever to scoop up a dish of sensational strawberry ice cream”

“This is a wonderful restaurant. Not only is the staff attentive, knowledgeable and helpful, the food is delicious. Our son is very picky about chicken alfredo. In fact he refers to himself as a connoisseur. His quote was that this is the best chicken alfredo he has had at any restaurant yet. My husband and I both had the chicken parm which was amazing as well. Even our grandson loved the food! We will be back for sure!!!!”

“Are there any locals living in Williamsburg? I saw online that this place is very suitable for retirement life. Can anyone introduce it to me?”

“Alewerks where Santa goes for a cold one.”

“We have always loved walking Capitol trail with our kids, but having spoke and art there now makes it so much more enjoyable! First walk of the season, we stopped in for lunch and were totally unaware of the live music!!! What a great addition to this already amazing little place! Thanks for a great day!”

“We ordered pick up thru postmates Saturday April 20th and we were extremely happy with everything we ordered. we ordered the quesabirria which was so big my 3 yr old thought it was a pizza and I was so happy with the size because I got to eat it for a couple days for lunch too. we also got the beef tips chimichanga dinner, queso dip and guacamole. Everything was just so delicious. I will definitely recommend them and I will definitely order from here again in the future! Thank you Juan's Taqueria for a lovely dinner experience! - Williamsburg location”

“My wife and I drove down to this location prior to coming down on June 27 with the Girls Scouts. We wanted to see how good the food was and the condition of the restaurant. We weren't that please with the first visit, but we introduced ourselves to the P.O.C and the attitude changed which wasn't a problem. When we drove down a week later with 50 Girls the food was a lot better, and the service was great. The manager stated that she tried the day prior to call workers in to help with the service because not only did they have our 50 to serve but another bus load came in 20 minutes later. I normally don't give 4's or 5's on rating but when you have over 100 ppl to serve plus the other customers they deserve it. The food was up to temperature the 2nd visit and fresh. The 5 servers that was there did an outstanding job!”

“Love this place.”

“The room is much smaller than what they used to have dedicated to this service. Therefore the tables are closer together. On the day we were there. It was only about half-full, so we had no problems in that regard. Otherwise, the space is nicely decorated and comfortable. Michael, our waiter, was prompt, helpful, and friendly. He anticipated many needs and was responsive and thoughtful. He meets the high expectations one would have at this kind of facility and price point. The food was fresh, well-prepared and, at times, imaginative/ innovative. There was a good selection and all of the various dishes ordered at my table came out right, and were delicious. The coffee is abysmal so, if you like good coffee, it's best to avoid it here. The orange juice was thick and fresh, not thin and watery as it often is in restaurants. The poached eggs and omelets were textbook perfection. It was very nice to have a selection of usual things with optional regional twists. There also was a good array to meet everyone's dietary considerations. I do think the food is much more consistent and enjoyable than it has been the last few years. I give it a solid A.”

“you have to try the cinnamon swirl pancakes. awesome! and you'll get at least 2 meals out of one order.”

“We love going to Frothy Moon every Monday for Moms Muffins and Minis. Plate Fete’s pretzel bagel breakfast sandwiches are SO delicious. We also love the brown butter cinnamon rolls and the Black Forest sandwich cookies. 10/10 recommend. Such a fun way to start the week!”

“This was our first time at Chicken Salad Chick and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, there staff was courteous and efficient, and the service was faster than expected.
For first timers: 1) you choose type of sandwich (chicken salad, turkey or pimento), 2) type of bread, 3) flavor style, 4) side (1 or 2 sides). You can also add dessert.
We were a party of 3 adults. We had 1) Sassy Scotty chicken salad, toasted wheat w/ lettuce + tomato, fresh fruit side. 2) 2 scoop chicken salad w/ crackers: Kickin Kay Lynne + Jill Pickle w/ pasta salad side. 3) Classic Carol chicken salad on croissant w/ lettuce + tomato & 2 sides: Mac & Cheese + Fresh Fruit. All meals come with a sugar cookie & pickle spear.
All the food was excellent. The fresh fruit was very fresh and crisp. There are so many different types of chicken salad to try here in varieties ranging from savory/ spicy to traditional to sweet/fruity. If in doubt, you can ask for a sample & the friendly staff will gladly accommodate you. If you like chicken salad, this is a great place to go! I will definitely be back and would recommend this place to everyone who likes a good chicken salad.”

“Great pizza, light thin almost flaky crust. Delicious. Didn't realize from website, no in door dining or table service. Only outdoor covered patio. Table next is had BBQ and brisket, claimed it was the best they ever had. We will be back.”

“Andrew and his team always provide an incredible level of service, and the food that comes out of the kitchen is right up there with the best that the area has to offer. Great job, folks!”
