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.”

“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.”

“Absolutely love this place on our annual visit from CA, food and drink is always wonderful. But thanks to our server Tilly yesterday for making it even better! So personable, but most importantly helpful and knowledgeable in a number of instances, really appreciated all she did, having a great server elevates the experience.”

“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”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Everything was obviously home made. Best meal I have had in 30 years. Food and staff were a 15 out of 10. Highly recommend!!!”

“I’m not usually a hot dog fan, but we decided to give them a try at a local event — and they were delicious! We ordered a variety of flavors and loved them all. The owner was also super friendly too.”

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

“Wow! We decided on this restaurant impromptu, pulled up and literally walked into what felt like our family restaurant. Our server was kind, thorough, and super attentive. And the food was AMAZING. Everything was fresh, authentic and seasoned to perfection! My pics don’t do the food justice! We ordered what was recommended and I’m so glad we did. I asked for an aperol spritz during the lunch hour where Prosecco is not sold by the glass and the server went out of his way to make it happen for me. Surprise, surprise it was amazing! Thank you Ense for the service and hats off to the chef! We’ll be back with friends soon.”

“I'm visiting from NJ & had never been to this spot, but I'll mos def be returning!! I ordered a seafood combo platter and have no regrets. Food is fresh, seasoned well and the portions are more than ample. I'm trying to get back here b4 I head to NJ Friday morning.”

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

“Unbelievable birthday dinner tonight with my wife and friends. Everything was perfect... atmosphere, food, service.... 10/10!!! Cannot wait to go back!”

“Awesome food and service, will be back!”

“Anya, Christina and the chef were very nice and professional. They responded in as timely manner. They had a pleasing personality. The taste and quantity of the food was good. GThe atmosphere was excellent.”

“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.”

“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).”

“Hands down the absolute best thai cuisine in S.E. Virginia. My wife and I have dined here several times over the past few years and if we were not moving across the country we would definitely return. The owners are wonderful and always knew what our favorite dishes were. 5☆'s”

“AMAZING!!!! 100% Excellent food and service. So much to chose from. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. The bathroom could use so.e TLC and deep clean.”

“We took my mom here for lunch. The staff is friendly and attentive. My mom and I both ordered the Chef Sevan salad with Salmon. It is delicious and really fresh ingredients. My sister ordered the beef kabobs. We loved the food. There were only a few diners so it was very quiet. Highly recommend!”

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

“Great good and exceptional service. Definitely recommend!”

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

“it was great will be back”

“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.”

“First time diners. Lovely restaurant that qualifies as fine dining or a special occasion. Service is professional and our waitress was polite, pleasant, familiar with the menu and willing/able to make recommendations. For the appetizer we had caesar salad which was fresh and included lots of cheese. For the entree we ordered the chateaubriand for two. It was excellent and well prepared. Staff made sure to check whether everything was prepared as ordered including meat temperature. Our meal was so nicely presented and served that we overheard another patron ask their waiter "What is that they're having?" We definitely will return when in the area.”

“Fantastic food and service. Got seated right away and a manger took great care and pride in making sure our meals were safe from our allergies. Food was hot and delicious and came out quick. Just a wonderful experience.”

“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!”

“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!”

“One of the better spots I’ve been to—address and directions were clear, no headaches getting in. Self check-in kiosk made things smooth, and every time I showed up, they loaded me way ahead of schedule (0800 load for a 1600 appt? Can’t beat that). Guard at the gate was helpful, space to maneuver was solid, and the crew treated me with professionalism and respect—something that goes a long way out here. Didn’t see a lounge, vending, or restrooms, and no overnight parking, but the fast loading and easy check-in more than made up for it. Safety vest required, so come prepared. Overall, solid run—would definitely come back.”

“Our fav!!! We absolutely love the food and atmosphere and will go out of our way to dine here. Absolutely delicious every time!”

“Everyone check out this place. We all know that nowadays excellent customer service and good food is hard to find but I was blown away. First my matcha boba was the best I’ve ever had, then I was waiting there for my food and they brought me out a little scoop of ice cream just to be nice and then the sushi was so fresh and delicious. All around 10/10 and so clean inside. This place deserves more recognition!!! And to add, I never leave reviews good or bad but best believe, I’m going on every app I can today!”

“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.”

“We brought my mother in law here for her first time and let me just say—it was love at first bite. The char-grilled oysters? Life changing. She was mid-sentence and just stopped to close her eyes and savor (I kid you NOT!) that’s when I knew we made the right decision in bringing her to one of our favorite spots. I’ve been coming here with my husband for a while now, and they never miss. We split the grilled fish (always fresh, always flavorful), and we request the chili oil on the side because a little goes a long way. Pro tip: their house hot sauce? We buy it every time we’re there. We also ordered the ceviche (refreshing, balanced, and beautifully plated, and their margarita is one of the few in town that actually tastes crafted—not syrupy. The War & Pisco cocktail was a surprise favorite for my MIL; light, sparkling, with a perfect hint of raspberry and basil. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for a date night or introducing someone to your go-to local gem. Every time we visit, the food is consistent, the service is kind but never pushy, and we leave talking about what we’ll order next time.”

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg. Great authentic and delicious Italian food.😋”

“Great place to go for any occasion if that be studying or business meeting.”

“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”

“This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to! True authentic food. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often! Everything from the bread, pasta dishes, to the desserts are all homemade and SO good. We even had a musician come and serenade us! 10/10!!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“It’s always a pleasure when you deal with people who take a lot of pride in what they do. Madison welcomed us with a smile and made our first time at meadows enjoyable and memorable. They’re lucky to have a such a motivated and devoted employee with so much passion.”

“Definitely one of the BEST Italian restaurants I’ve ever been too! We are on vacation, and was blown away! The service, our waiter, and food was amazing! I highly recommend going here!”

“Great Atmosphere!! Great Food!!”

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

“Love this place.”

“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.”

“cute set up The owners were very friendly coffee, donuts, and bagels were all very good”

“We had very friendly and attentive service. A wide variety of choices, many of which would be well-known to diners who know Greek food. I was with a group of five people, and didn't want to take up a lot of the server's time asking about what the choices contained, so I just chose a gyro, which I had in the past. It was good but I would have preferred more lamb than beef in that combination.”

“Stopped in today. Staff personnel were great and the coffee was amazing. Will definitely be a regular from now on.”

“This place has clean, great customer service and delicious food. My cookie was so soft and warm that it tasted like it was freshly out of the oven. The milkshake had the perfect blend of rich, creamy vanilla that flowed smoothly through my straw. I would definitely recommend this place. 10/10”

“Food was amazing! Nice serving sizes! Will definitely come back when I come back to Virginia!”

“Giuseppe’s has a phenomenal staff and their food is TO DIE FOR!! The chicken masala is my favorite dish of all time. Family owned and absolutely recommend”

“Jake "Demigod" was the best employee ever to scoop up a dish of sensational strawberry ice cream”

“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!”

“This is a wonderful restaurant. Not only is the staff attentive, knowledgeable and helpful, the food is delicious. Our son is very picky about chicken alfredo. In fact he refers to himself as a connoisseur. His quote was that this is the best chicken alfredo he has had at any restaurant yet. My husband and I both had the chicken parm which was amazing as well. Even our grandson loved the food! We will be back for sure!!!!”

“This was the first time that we ever heard of this place and figured we’d try it. We really liked it! It was a huge piece of chicken on a great roll. We both had the cheesy bbq chicken sandwiches. It was soooooo good!
The French fries were so good as well. They are fresh cut shoe string. They have for seasonings and we got the sweet seasoning. It was great! I would tell anyone to try it and hope they bring one of these up north closer to us!”

“Best soft serve around! Old school ice cream”

“We have always loved walking Capitol trail with our kids, but having spoke and art there now makes it so much more enjoyable! First walk of the season, we stopped in for lunch and were totally unaware of the live music!!! What a great addition to this already amazing little place! Thanks for a great day!”

“went to try it for the first time and WOW!! the aroma smacks you in the face when you get out of the car. and inside, it just gets better. the counter staff greeted me instantly with a kind smile and a "blessings". she helped me with selecting items from the menu and we got the 2 meat bowl with steak, chicken and fried rice. I joined my family outside in the lovely open grassy area and waited as my kids and dog played. I went back in to get my order and she told me that she would bring it to me. 'we do it for everyone'. I thanked her and went back out. shortly after, she arrived with our meal and joyfully chatted with us, and the other family waiting, for a moment. we shook hands and she departed, however we did not, because I could not wait to try it and HOLY HEAVEN what a bite!! this place is full of amazing smells, people and food!! do not miss this gem! also, we live a little way out and the meal was still piping hot when we got home to finish it. Bravo Hibachi Buddha!!!!”

“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?”

“I drive 4 hours from Pennsylvania to eat here. Everything is impeccable”

“Great staff, great food, will eat here again!”

“What can I say except Go Go Go!!! I love this place and their drinks are goooood!!! I left my wristlet wallet on my seat and about an hour later I realized it and called. They had it. Fully in tact, everything still inside (cash and all!) I love this place!!! The drink with the corona is sooooo GOOD! Tell them Mrs. Hibachibuddha sent ya!!”

“My wife and I drove down to this location prior to coming down on June 27 with the Girls Scouts. We wanted to see how good the food was and the condition of the restaurant. We weren't that please with the first visit, but we introduced ourselves to the P.O.C and the attitude changed which wasn't a problem. When we drove down a week later with 50 Girls the food was a lot better, and the service was great. The manager stated that she tried the day prior to call workers in to help with the service because not only did they have our 50 to serve but another bus load came in 20 minutes later. I normally don't give 4's or 5's on rating but when you have over 100 ppl to serve plus the other customers they deserve it. The food was up to temperature the 2nd visit and fresh. The 5 servers that was there did an outstanding job!”

The Josie sauce served as a dipping sauce was addictive and the burgers were some of the best I’ve had. The crunchy edges of the smashed burger, soft bun, fresh lettuce and Josie sauce is created perfection. The best part though was the service. The place is clean and well designed with a fun mural and the people were all super friendly and helpful! If you have room, they have tasty gelato and yummy salted chocolate chip cookies. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing experience! This coffee reminds me of Europe in all the right ways! The owner is so kind and very talented! Highly recommend coming in and sitting in this cozy lounge!

The Bicerin is DELICIOUS!”

“Murdoch’s is a excellent choice for a high quality dinner in Ford’s Colony. The restaurant is higher-end with comfortable seats and TVs by the booths. The menu is a bit limited, but the food is very good. For starters, I ordered the wings and deviled eggs, which were delicious. For my main entrée, I ordered the meatloaf, which was served over mashed potatoes and green beans. The food tasted excellent and was prepared well. The service and overall environment were also exceptional. I really enjoyed my dinner and I highly recommend dining at Murdoch’s.”
