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.”

“I was in town for a week in July 2023. My Mom and I stumbled across this place. Everything was good! I would call it casual dining. You can't make reservations. It was always busy! We went back a second night before we left. I'll be in town this week and will definitely stop in. Great food and reasonable prices. I would say average to large portion sizes.”

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

“Great food great service!”

“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.”

“We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at the Fat Canary. It was a pleasure from start to finish. Ryan was our server, he did an outstanding job & suggested a wine pairing for the Foie gras that was perfect. My sister had the Scallops and said they were the best she'd ever eaten. If we lived nearby the Fat Canary would be our go to for every special occasion.”

“Adre was an absolutely awesome bar tender! Managed service in the bar and table side! Friendly, knowledgeable and extremely connected to visitors needs. Fielded questions, recommendations and able to provide feedback on the difference between farmed oysters and naturally farmed( York and James River harvests)! Amazingly efficient and friendly! We will be back!”

“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.”

“Awesome food and service, will be back!”

“This place is the best! Fresh, fast and more than adequate portions at a great price. The atmosphere is festive and relaxing for sure. Plenty of room for large parties or events. My favorite server is Ciela! She always greets with a smile and it never stops! Check them out!”

“They’re the most friendly & sweetest!! Plus their food is delicious!!! :)”

“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”

“My husband and I had a fantastic dinner with excellent service! We will definitely be going back! A new must try in the Williamsburg area!”

“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.”

“Excellent food! Great service! Eve behind the bar really knows her business, as does the Serbian gentleman who makes slamming Margueritas (cannot for the life of me remember his name). Absolutely well worth the visit.”

“My husband and I attended their recent soirée and it was absolutely phenomenal! Best drinks and food I have had in a long while that complimented each other wonderfully. The staff is truly talented and their passion absolutely shines through to the plate, glass, and the customer’s overall experience.”

“To truly experience an 18th century tavern, I would suggest visiting this establishment. The food was exceptional, and the staff presented interesting historical information in the dining rooms, enhancing the overall experience.”

“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).”

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

“our new steak house in Williamsburg. A bit pricey but perfect preparation and large portions. A couple of unique items (caramel pecan brie appetizer). Seafood done right: scallops were perfectly done and crab cake was wonderful. Steak was cooked as ordered, tender and delicious. Loved the cinnamon butter with the baked sweet potato. Overall a great meal.”

“We have been coming here for years when we come to Busch Gardens! Fantastic food and very good staff! Definitely recommend this place !”

“We were in the area for a quick meal with kids but found this treasure and loved every dishes. This is the first time my youngest finished the whole plate and the fried rice was so delicious. The Maguro Ninja was my favorite for sure, the spicy and freshness of the tuna were best combination. Miso and Tonkatsu ramen was a hit for our family too. We loved this place so much that we come back again before heading home. This will be our go to place for whenever we are in the area”

“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!”

“it was great will be back”

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

Your attention to all of our request and the excellent service you provided to our group of 25 was noticed by all of our guest. The food was delicious, the lemon drop martinis were so good. Thank u for the music you provided, the guest definitely noticed that old school music. I would recommend this restaurant for a great time for your celebrations.”

“The food is very tasty. Not much of a vegetarian selection, but their zucchini pancakes are delicious. Inside is cozy enough. I haven't sat outside, but they do have outside seating. The family that owns it is very personable. They make you feel like part of the family as soon as you sit down. They also sell the cutest and most fragrant candles. I suppose a friend of the family makes them. I'll definitely go back.”

“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!”

“Appt 8pm, checked in at 7pm out at 8.30pm.All good, it's heavy but in and out on Sunday night, nice ppl there for my experience.Almost 34k on the drive and trailer axle.”

“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”

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

“Our family hit up Column 15 for a quick breakfast on vacation. The staff wad so patient and friendly while we decided what to order and the atmosphere was so chill and relaxed. It was so nice that they provided games to play while we waited for our food. (Uno cards, chessboard, etc) You could really tell the employees are passionate about their craft.”

“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!”

“Rock star establishment!! If you’re in town check them out.”

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

“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?”

“The food is excellent. The A/C was out due to a power outage. We had to ask why it was so warm. Shouldn't someone have said something? We waited over 30 minutes four our entrees. My husband asked twice about them and it appeared we had been forgotten. There were not that many people there and a person who came in after us was served before us. When we looked at the bill we were charged for the use of our credit card. There was no apology given for the wait. Will come again and hope things are improved.”

“Sandwiches and all the food is so good. Family owned for many years. Quality never wavers! Prices have always been reasonable and you get a lot of food for your money!”

“Amazing experience! A complete menu of frozen custard offerings. Texas size servings for cups and cones at great prices. Sundaes, Shakes, all the toppings and fast friendly service. What a great surprise on a hot day having walked 4 miles around historic Williamsburg in 90 degree heat. Cooked down quickly with a medium cone of Dutch chocolate.

Parking: 8 spots by the drive thru and next to the Food Lion complex with 100 spots

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome, it's custard for heaven's sake. Parents are happily served too. ?

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp to navigate a wheelchair and room inside too”

“This food was so amazing the cook has great manners, he was such a gentleman and he served with a smile while working hard to serve me, 5 stars exelent performance.”

“Love this place.”

“The food was amazing! The server was very friendly and amazing at her job! This location was very close to our hotel and easy to get to. The building was clean and smelled great. The menu was easy to read and the prices were very acceptable. I would highly suggest visiting this restaurant if you are in the area!”

“Well, apparently I’ve been missing out for the past 20 years! We’ve always gone to another Italian restaurant on the other side of town, but I’m moving soon so we decided to try out Antonio’s since it’s around the corner from my new home. WOW!! Talk about delicious! Seriously, we both said it’s our new favorite Italian restaurant in town. Can’t wait to go again!”

“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!”

“I wish my local Starbucks was as awesome as this location. I decided on this location to get some work done and 100% made the right decision. There is ample (and comfy) seating, it was clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. It is clear they have a huge regular customer base because almost everyone who came in the staff knew by name.”

“I plead the 5th but willing to give it another chance!”

“I love my daily stop at this Starbucks outlet. Baristas know my name and favorite drink. Often have samples out ?

Vegetarian options: ? love the impossible burger!!!”

“We went in this past weekend cool off and get a smoothie. And found a rap that I like and ask the employees if they could put that in a pita for me instead of the wrap. They didnt even blink an eye and said no problem. It is rare to get that kinda Great Service.”

“A bit slow about a minute longer to get my drink, but it's worth it. My drink(iced caramel cloud macchiato) was made better than other establishments near my location. Overall service was well done and I had a great experience.”

“This was a whole different chick-fil-A experience as the restaurant is hidden in an historic building on the fringe of the College of William & Mary. Best part of all though were the people working there. They're experts at empathizing and communicating with college aged students. The place has an entirely different vibe and I felt like I was in a strong community of people who know and care about one another. Oh and the chikn ? was delicious too”

“the cleanest buffet we have been to fresh food all employees were very pleasant”

“Always friendly and courteous. Very clean and organized. The employees go above and beyond and make the experience much better. There's something to be said for doing more and making the customer happy. That should be acknowledged. This store is definitely doing it right.”

“I go here more than I should. The service is great and the drinks are consistent and always made correctly. Kylie and Yolanda stand out in terms of customer service and are always super friendly.”

“Great food. They want me to type 25 characters”

“This is my usual Starbucks and the baristas are always wonderful! My orders are accurate and everything is the perfect temperature. Parking can be frustrating due to the layout of the shopping center but the drive thru is convenient.”

“Out of mocha and espresso machine wasn't working so I had to get half decaf. Could have been an incredibly frustrating experience but the girls working there were so amazing that it made the experience very pleasant after all. They deserve a raise for having to deal with so many issues out of their control but still remaining positive and professional!”

“Big shout out to Jayme for being awesome.”

“Good food and service at a reasonable price.”

Met the gentleman who owns Pierce’s during our stop today before returning home and what a nice, pleasant man! You will not regret eating here!”

“We have been to Sals twice now. The pizza and pasta are amazing. Such a great family-friendly restaurant. The service however was only mediocre. It was difficult to get the waiters attention and he wasn’t friendly or attentive.”

Amazing assortment of freshly made pastries (including multiple gluten-free options!) and delicious breakfast & lunch foods. Highly recommend this cafe for one of the best atmospheric and tasting experiences in town!”

Thank you Juan's Taqueria for a lovely dinner experience! - Williamsburg location”

“I recently visited The Swirl, a delightful local ice cream shop, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff member who assisted us was incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the warmth of the place. The fact that they had not just one, but four different vegan options – raspberry, lemon, strawberry, and chocolate – was a pleasant surprise for my plant-based preferences.I opted for the raspberry and chocolate combination, and it was a delightful burst of flavors. My husband, on the other hand, indulged in a banana split and a black and white cookie, both of which he thoroughly enjoyed. The diverse menu catering to various preferences showcased the thoughtful consideration put into creating a truly inclusive and enjoyable experience for all customers.The atmosphere at The Swirl is nothing short of charming. The fun and vibrant decorations create an inviting environment that immediately puts you in a positive mood. It's evident that the owner(s) poured a lot of love and care into curating not just a menu, but an entire experience for their patrons. This little ice cream haven is a testament to the passion and dedication behind its creation, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a sweet escape with a side of kindness.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fabulous, highly recommended! Varied menu, great daily specials! Top notch!”

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

“The Cupboard ~~ Great little spot to stop in for a snack or drink. Especially terrific is Siba, the nicest of ladies who makes the best hot tea anywhere. Who knew adding orange slices and cinnamon sticks could turn it into something special!”

“The elegance of the decor is very elegant, and the food is perfect plus great place to be”

“We visited with our pup and sat on the patio, which was lovely. They offered us water for her and were so sweet. We ordered from the brunch menu. Eggs Benedict classic and a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was tasty, but very hard to eat, as there was an entire sausage link on it, not cut up. Eggs Benedict was just ok. The sauce was thin and not terribly flavorful, and the eggs were overcooked. The super salad was fantastic, so I'd like to try some other items on the menu, as they looked good, and would definitely give it another try. Pretzels and cheese appetizer shared at our table was also very good!”

“We LOVE this restaurant! Always our first and last stop when visiting the area. Delicious bbq and I love the fries! We love it all, including the wonderful desserts.

“Service, food and server was amazing! Delicious food. Friendly, quick and attentive server. The corn muffins and baby back ribs are AMAZING!!”

“Food and ambience was wonderful! Meal was delicious! Our server was not very friendly. When she first came to our table I asked her to please move to the other side of the table since I am deaf in one ear. She made a face and moved but did not even say it was no problem. She was very insensitive to my condition. In the middle of our meal I noticed that everyone else was served butter and muffins which we never got. I asked the server and she said we were supposed to have them. She did not even apologize for the mistake. By the time we were served the muffins our main meal came. I would have liked them at the beginning of our meal like every other patron. I was not happy with the server.”

“Love this place.”

“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.

The menu looks amazing and the owners were so polite and were so welcoming!!”

“We recently stopped in for lunch! The food was so good. Service was great! Highly recommend!”
