50 Best American Restaurants in Williamsburg

“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.“

We felt so special and taken care of, truly an amazing visit. 10000/10!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good eats and great service“

“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.“

“Outstanding service, very welcoming staff, outstanding ribs! The location is Williamsburg, VA.“

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

“Tucked away in Colonial Williamsburg, the Terrace at Williamsburg Inn is a true hidden gem. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere serene, and the service consistently outstanding. Perfect for those seeking a quiet, refined dining experience.“

“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!“

“We ate at the Eagles restaurant the day we arrived at Kingsmill. On our first day we enjoyed the delicious Ruben sandwich, the fries, the huge onion rings perfectly cooked, a very fresh side salad and a shrimp po’boy that was running over with shrimp. On another day we ordered the honey BBG wings. We will visit again the Eagles restaurant the next time we are in Kingsmill.“

“Great food casual atmosphere friendly servers and watressses just to name a few.“

“A little hidden gem in the west gate resort. You do not have to stay at the resort to go. Good food and great selection of Sly Clyde and beers as well as canned mimosa ciders and wine. Pizza was great. Outdoor seating is nice as well. Check it out !!“

“The waitresses at both the lunches were friendly and attentive to my needs. I went for lunch a few times and had dinner there once. For both lunches, I had the Buttered bun Bacon Cheeseburger (medium well) with my choice of Swiss cheese, fries, and drink. I liked it so much that I ordered the same thing the second time. For dinner, the waiter was also friendly and attentive even though he was busy. I had the fish and fries, in which, was super yummy. Also ordered the bacon cheeseburger and fries to go. That way, I'd have it in the room for later. Will have to go back sometime and order both the bacon cheeseburger and fish meals again.
Thank you“

“Came here New Years Day 2023. What a delight our server Sunni was! She didn’t miss a beat! We thoroughly enjoyed the chowder and the biscuits and honey butter. Kyle the Bartender was such a talent!! Really knows his stuff and an equally personable and professional like Sunni. (I wish the property supplied them w proper Bing cherries to go w a Manhattan instead of Maraschino cherries which are best used for Shirley temples;)). Food: Very impressed w the food! Cudos to the chef! And such a nice presentation!! My swordfish was perfect!! As was all my husbands choices. Definitely one of our new favorite places. Way to go Kingsmille on the newly reopened restaurant!!“

“We enjoyed another exceptional dining experience at the King’s Arms Tavern this evening, marking our fourth visit. The outstanding cuisine and service were truly commendable.“

“Second time this year we visited. Wonderful food, great service. Worth the wait. We really enjoyed the entire experience.“

“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 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).“

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

“Great Atmosphere!! Great Food!!“

“This place was clean, food was great but the service was lacking.“

“Ooooh! These Duck Donuts were super soft and delish!!! Peach Cobbler was my favorite! Other flavors were Oreo, Cinnamon, and Blueberry!!!

We went back the next day to get more Peach Cobbler, Cinnamon Sugar, Strawberry Confetti, and Coffee Cake 😋“

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

“We drive from Newport News every few months! Food is delicious and service is excellent!“

“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.“

“My wife and I visited Williamsburg Winery on Saturday night for the first time, and I have to say, we were truly impressed. The entire establishment is absolutely beautiful with such a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in.

When we went up to the bar, Stella took care of us, and wow… she was incredible. Her customer service was outstanding. She made us feel like we had known her for years. She was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does.

We each had a glass of wine, and honestly, I had no intention of purchasing a bottle that night. But because of Stella’s exceptional service and recommendations, I ended up taking one home. That says a lot.

You all have an amazing team member in Stella. We’re already looking forward to coming back!“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Very welcoming place. Everyone is nice especially the waitress. Food is good and prices are reasonable.“

“The food, service, and ambiance were all so lovely. From start to finish, it was a great experience! Would recommend and will definitely be going again. Melissa was a fantastic server.“

“Love Aromas! My fiancé and I were in town for the weekend, we were recommended to Aromas from a local and it did not disappoint! The coffee (cold brew and latte) was great, the food was filling and fast and the atmosphere was lovely! We will be back next time we are in town!!“

“Friendly staff. Chill atmosphere.“

“It's been far too long since my last visit here, and I am delighted that today's lunch more than lived up to my memory! I ordered my favorite, the chicken Cæsar salad, and it was fresh, crunchy, and full of shredded rotisserie chicken. My dining companions had the steak-frîtes and the bœuf Bourguignon - the steak was apparently just a *bit* overcooked but the truffle fries are to die for. The bœuf Bourguignon was incredible, the sauce deeply flavorful and unctuous. My cucumber cocktail was light and refreshing, and glory hallelujah, they've brought back the big bowl of chocolate mousse that I haven't seen since before lockdown (so yummy I forgot to take a photo). The mousse is delightfully smooth and not too sweet, a perfect end to the meal. Our server was lovely, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu (I don't remember her name, but she has Rainbow Fish earrings!) I left with an utterly content stomach, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice owner and big portions.“

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

“I just celebrated a three day Family Teunion at the Colonial Heritage Club. Corey Pollack the facility Director of Happiness was amazing. The entire staff was are five to our needs all weekend.“

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

“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.“

“The House Dressing. IYKYK“

“Trivia is the best! People behind the bar are cool and helpful!“

“This New Year's Eve, I celebrated by 70th Birthday! We reserved a waterfront condo. Everyone was blow away by the facilities and the location! We had guests to come, as far away as ATL! The party was a blast! It's 4 days later and people are still calling to say Kingsmill did not disappoint and to let me know, my seafood Gumbo was the best they ever had!“
