A local Williamsburg treasure. The country ham is tasty and pleasantly salty. Their pies are made by hand with the freshest ingredients. Call ahead to get squeezed in for lunch but the breakfast you just show up for.

Unless you research this restaurant you aren’t aware of their two seatings policy. We arrived at 10:45 and were pretty rudely advised we wouldn’t be seated for 45 minutes. We just left. We are new here- welcome to Virginia ☹️

The "fruit salad" was lettuce + canned peaches + pineapple + mayonnaise + cheddar cheese. A lot of people in the reviews have said that "oh that's how they used to eat it back in the day" — to which I say...there is probably a reason we stopped eating it like this.

After that "appetizer", we were greeted with "Becky's Luncheon", which was two pieces of overly salty ham (that had the after taste of playdough) sandwiched by two sad pieces of "biscuits" — the biscuits were just flat pieces of bread that was neither a biscuit nor bread. They also had a weird aftertaste. We couldn't even finish this sandwich, it was just simply awful.

On the bright side, their slow-cooked brisket (the daily special) was phenomenal — definitely should have ordered this twice.

Their sides — cole slaw and chips — tasted and looked like they were bought from a grocery store. I'm pretty sure the chips were just Ruffles.

For dessert, the coconut cream pie was great. Although the bottom crust had that playdough/cardboard aftertaste yet again. But the actual pie itself was good.

The waiter was nice, although she was very rushed and didn't get to our dessert order for a while.

Lastly, the overall ambiance of the place was fantastic. They have a really cute cat and the decor is stupendous. Really gives a nice homey feel.

Overall, not a bad place to visit once, but the food is certainly nothing to write home about. I'm sorry for the critical review, as I really wanted to like this place (went here for my birthday). I'm just trying to be as honest as possible.

Finally ate breakfast here after years reading about it. Nice old historic home set up as restaurant and gift shop. Generous portions, though if vegetarian or vegan the only offerings are oatmeal and fruit. Well worth the visit, I think.

Vegetarian options: Oatmeal and fruit

I went here three years ago and hope to visit again soon when I come back to see family because of the lovely experience I had. Such a beautiful experience! The food is good, and the service is amazing.

We enjoyed their soups, sandwiches, biscuits, and pies. The coconut pie was delicious, but we especially loved the chocolate, lemon, and apple pies. The soups were savory and flavorful.

The servers, owners, and everyone involved were so polite and caring. All the staff were sweet and thoughtful, making it such a delightful experience.

They have restrooms available and accept debit cards, credit cards, and cash.

Food is not impressive, waiting time to the table 1 hr .

Pretty average. Food portions are small for their price. Service is ok.

Today's my birthday so I took the day off of work and headed with a friend to Old Chickahominy House for breakfast. I got the Old Chickahominy breakfast. The country ham was shaved and so delicious with the hot biscuits. We even had a slice of pie before we left. DELICIOUS.

I LOVE the Old Chickahominy House! I always get the Melinda's Special along with coconut cream pie. The food is delicious, and the service is great. A very quaint atmosphere with very friendly employees. If you've never been there it's a must... destination stop.

Parking: Limited parking places, but worth visiting for a delicious meal.
