“Friendly, courteous, clean, fast. I was in town for an event and wanted to try the pulled pork. I got the meal with fries and a side order of baked beans. I sat next to a family hosting their North Carolina siblings and they traveled an hour north just for the barbecue because they like it better than NC BBQ! On my other side were a couple who drove an hour from Richmond just to get BBQ and onion rings! They've been going there on beach trips since their grown children were little. (I love the large size, and volume, of fries but the Onion Rings looked fabulous) The power went out before I had time to finish half my food. Nobody panicked. The staff and management handled things the best they could while allowing us to enjoy the experience and share stories about what makes Pierce's such a wonderful place. Maybe they can franchise to my home in Pittsburgh??? Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience. Congratulations on more than 50 years!!!“
“The food was absolutely delicious. This was the most tender, juicy briquette I've ever had. The fried cat fish was AMAZING. The mashed potatoes and cornbread was delicious. Even the coleslaw was really good. Our server Jen took great care of us. ?“
“Excellent food & service last night at The Jefferson Restaurant. Many choices on the menu. Had the blackened catfish & loaded baked potato with green beans, my husband had the southern combination of ham and fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy & greens beans too. Both were equally delicious! We were ready to get our ticket, when the waitress brought a selection tray of yummy looking desserts. Since she went to all the trouble of bringing the heavy tray, we had to choose one, so we decided on the banana/chocolate piece of cake to share. Oh my!! It was heaven. Oh and let me tell you the atmosphere was like stepping back in time. Colonial decor & even the servers were dressed colonial style. If you're hungry and want great food and service, you must stop at The Jefferson Restaurant.“
“Chowning's Tavern This family-friendly tavern offers lunch and dinner; of course Colonial Williamsburg is family friendly and we recommend Chowning's Tavern for families. We have taken care to frequent Colonial Williamsburg for decades; Probably the Christmas season is our favorite, and the long hot humid summer is the season we avoid. Any frequent visitor to Greater Williamsburg is in for a culinary treat; we focused our first few years on Colonial Williamsburg dining, and we still recommend the historical taverns. Dining in the 18th Century setting is provided at the following: * Christiana Campbell's Tavern® * Chowning's Tavern® * King's Arms Tavern® * Shields Tavern® Over the years Chowning's Tavern has evolved to "please families" with a fast food backyard grill. Limited menu and service hear. Caveat: avoid the backyard if desiring an authentic Colonial Dining experience. Please read reviews prior to visiting Colonial Williamsburg. We recommend above stairs dining; servers have had some training. Great tavern ambience. Chowning's Tavern may offer the best economy dining experience. In the 1960's we "discovered" Brunswick Stew, and this is still on the menu; moreover, my wife has added this stew to her offerings in her kitchen. Take care in personal review of colonial dining. Chowning's Tavern may or may not be a best bet for romantic dining. The tariff is appropriate for the fare.“
“After a long day of driving we decided to stop at the Williamsburg Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner. The atmosphere was very nice and clean, our steaks were delicious, but the best part of our experience was OSCAR, our server. He was so kind, attentive and professional. He kept the glasses filled, and kept checking to see if we needed anything. I noticed he did the same for all of his tables. Even though he was busy he was always pleasant and smiling. He is a true asset to the Longhorn Steakhouse family. Give him a raise!“
“Stellar food and service. The biggest compliment I can give is that our kid DEMOLISHED the adult portion of the pulled pork sandwich and never touched the fries. Everyone knows the kid eats the fries first! For the adults, you definitely can’t go wrong with the ribs, and the brisket dip is on point. The beer selection is pretty good too. Definitely recommend!“
