12 Best Southern Restaurants in Williamsburg

“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).“

“Been going to the Old Chickahominy House since I was a little girl. Never disappoints. Food is always delicious and the service is stellar. Highly recommend for dine-in or quick take out lunch!“

“My wife and I went for the first time tonight. Loved the jazz music playing live- a little loud but ok. Food was great! My wife had the North Carolina BBQ and she moved it. I had the chicken sandwich, so tasty! Chris was our server and she did a great job!“

“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.“

“I’m writing this review specifically for Robert, who provided fantastic service to us on the two mornings we visited a few weeks ago. I’m not entirely sure what his technical role is, but he’s helping EVERYWHERE! He comes by to check to ensure you have everything, he checks in on you while you’re getting food and asks if you need anything additional, he’s clearing plates, he greeting people when they come in, etc. I saw him engage with all other guests in the same way…he’s just a nice and super hardworking guy. We look forward to seeing him the next time we are back!“

“First time eating there this morning. Service was friendly accurate and fast. Food was great and reasonably priced. Great first impression for sure. A+“

“Stopped before leaving Williamsburg to grab lunch. Friendly service, served quickly and fresh. Definitely recommend.“

“I was in Williamsburg on vacation. I wanted to eat some good Southern home cooking. We found Munchies on line. Let me tell you, that food was Sooooooooooo Good ! Everything, I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fried cabbage, yams and the best bake Mac and Cheese I ever ate. They fry your chicken when you order it. This place is really worth the wait. So if you ever passing through or are on a vacation in Williamsburg , go check it out. Yes, they have sweet tea . Tell them the lady from Baltimore sent you .“
