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.”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“The food is absolutely amazing but the experience and attention was world class! The attentive nature of the staff the impeccable food quality made this experience so memorable. Jordan our server was on point the whole time. The Manager Marquita and Director of operations who unfortunately I don’t know her name made our night unforgettable. We had arrived earlier however had to leave before ordering. We really wanted to
eat here though so after dropping the kids off we came right back. We were surprised they remembered us and made our evening unforgettable! I’m honestly struck by the hospitality and we will make this a regular stop on our visits! Thank you so much!!!”

“This place is everything you could ask for in a hotdog place. My only complaint is that we aren't local!!! we may or may not choose our next vacation location close by just to be able to come here again.”

“Everything was phenomenal, the burgers were really delicious and the fries were also phenomenal. I would definitely would recommend this place to my friends”

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had. This is real authentic Italian food.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“We are Greek and this is the finest Greek restaurant we have found from Norfolk to Richmond. Very authentic and great tasting food, excellent service and a super atmosphere! The owner Hope even visits your table to ensure that everything is good. Definitely a family atmosphere and fine dining! Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Delicious food and wonderful service.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

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

“Awesome food and service, will be back!”

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

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

“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.”

“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”

“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).”

“What an amazing Gluten free menu! The best Gluten free Italian we have had in years! Thank You so much for such an amazing dinner.”

“This is one of our favorite places to eat! So authentic and fresh. The owners are incredibly kind and hospitable. Amazing wines from Anatolia. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”

“Under new management everything was amazing fresh and delicious 😋 new and improved recipes and you can tell the difference”

“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!”

“Appointment was at seven got here at six got the door at seven empty by 9 AM
There’s a sign there that says you can check in four hours early. I wish I would’ve done that. I waited to check in an hour early.
There wasn’t a line I was just right in the middle of shift chain”

“The food was AMAZING! Catfish, shrimp, crab balls, hush puppies and even the fries perfectly seasoned and fried. The jambalaya was packed with flavor and delicious. Only downfall on atmosphere was size inside but service was friendly and personal. Price was great for amount of food - best deal so far in Williamsburg.”

“They have so many amazing flavors! I always pick up a quart or 2 from the to go freezer. Check their Facebook page for the monthly flavor calendar and descriptions. The quarts are on sale on Thursdays. Its a little pricey, but its delicious and worth every penny. They also have a rewards program. The large ice cream cones are huge! My 13 year old daughter got over zealous and ordered a large one time and was not able to finish. We know better and only order small or kiddie sizes now because its devastating to not be able to finish a delicious dessert and watch it melt or have to throw it away because you cant eat it all!”

“We always eat here any time that we are in Williamsburg. I almost always have the same thing because it is just so damn good; hot pastrami sub and an order of fries. The sub bun is perfect and the pastrami serving is very generous and very flavorful and very filling too. The fries serving fills the plate and cooked just right. On our way back home, we stop by again and take a sub with us to enjoy that evening. This Deli has our strongest recommendation.”

“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!”

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

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

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

“We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Chris's mom and talking with her for about 30 minutes. What an incredible family! They will forever have our business when we are passing through. We are multi-storefront business owners. Owning a business is hard, owning multiple even harder and even with no power, they gave my family of 5 an amazing experience.

Now, as for the cookies! YUM! Truly homemade with love! They didn't last long at all in our hotel room. Go ahead and order that 12 pack! You won't regret it. The ice cream was the best according to my 3 teens!

When you guys make your way into North Carolina, let us know. 😉 Keep being the incredible family you are. I am honored to have crossed the path of your cookie shop on our vacation!”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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”

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

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

“Love this place.”

“We dropped in for lunch for the first time and we are glad we did. The Philly cheese steak sandwich, pastrami sandwich potato wedges and coleslaw were all absolutely delicious. Definitely a gem within the shopping center.”

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

“My family and I all love 7 Mares Mexican Grill! I was raised in Southern California, and this restaurant tastes like home. The staff are warm and friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The Quesabirria street tacos are my favorite. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re looking for good comfort food ?”

“Excellent ramen and Poke!”

“Very fast service.Highly Recommended”

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

“Had to wait longer than expected to be seated, but the quick service & the delicious food was awesome and worth the wait!! Definitely a must try when in Williamsburg!!”

“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!!!!”

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

“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?”

“Don’t trust me, trust the parking lot. This place stays packed when the OPEN sign is on.

When you stop in, you’ll find a quick and fun atmosphere.

Don’t get the Bronx style tough! Save some for me!”

“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!!”

“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!”

“We ordered pick up thru postmates Saturday April 20th and we were extremely happy with everything we ordered. we ordered the quesabirria which was so big my 3 yr old thought it was a pizza and I was so happy with the size because I got to eat it for a couple days for lunch too. we also got the beef tips chimichanga dinner, queso dip and guacamole. Everything was just so delicious. I will definitely recommend them and I will definitely order from here again in the future! Thank you Juan's Taqueria for a lovely dinner experience! - Williamsburg location”

“My first time visiting this place yesterday. I enjoyed the whatever bowl. I will be returning tomorrow. 😊 The ladies at Virginia Beach store was very welcoming and friendly.”

“The happiest employees I've ever seen. They remembered me after only one visit which is a big deal. My coffee was perfect. Alot of return customers because they were addressed by name. This store is doing something right.”

“Our waiter, Chris, was so helpful and wonderful to have as our server today. We go there quite a lot and have never had as great an experience as we did today. It was an extreme pleasure. You are lucky to have him and the customers are as well!”

“Could prove that my online delivery was confirmed and expected to be delivered to my door. Manager Jeremy stated that he could care less that I could prove it but ended up wanting to take care of the delivery service payment out of the delivery person's tip. I think that's horrible! Everyone deserves the money they earned because they worked hard for it. To just dismiss proof and is crazy! Just FYI, once I got the food, it was freezing cold and wasn't offered a receipt. Be warned. The John Tyler's Papa Johns doesn't look out for their staff nor provide customer service like it used to.”

“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!”

“We always eat here any time that we are in Williamsburg. I almost always have the same thing because it is just so damn good; hot pastrami sub and an order of fries. The sub bun is perfect and the pastrami serving is very generous and very flavorful and very filling too. The fries serving fills the plate and cooked just right. On our way back home, we stop by again and take a sub with us to enjoy that evening. This Deli has our strongest recommendation.”

“A first class restaurant we were warmly greeted by the manager, Ashley. she has a great personality. Our waitress Jasmine was the best we’ve ever had. She knows her stuff. Food was fantastic. A big drink menu plenty to choose from food was outstanding. If I had employees like Ashley and Jasmine, I would still be in business.”

“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.”

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

“Went last night and the food and atmosphere were wonderful. The workers were awesome and super friendly.”

“Fabulous, highly recommended! Varied menu, great daily specials! Top notch!”

“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!”

“Stopped at Corey’s Chicken Shack today.I saw they have a new location adjacent to Rodeway Inn on Richmond Rd. Tried their fried chicken to goOMG ! Worth it! They have an extensive menue,breakfast ,lunch and dinner.Goid prices for what they are offering.Dine in or take out.Staff CJ was great.Good customer service and speakers two other languages!! Tony ,one of the Chefs came out to the front and I asked him his experience in the kichen.Found out experienced in Southern cooking as well as Greek and others.Then who comes walking in but Mr Cory himself.! He has been in the business for 30years and it shows.I urge you to try it out! Well worth it for good cooking and great staff!???”

“This is the best pizza I have EVER had !!!!”

“The Cupboard ~~ Great little spot to stop in for a snack or drink. Especially terrific is Siba, the nicest of ladies who makes the best hot tea anywhere. Who knew adding orange slices and cinnamon sticks could turn it into something special!”

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

“just loves the owner... very polite and caring..very professional and great service..very recommended”

“The elegance of the decor is very elegant, and the food is perfect plus great place to be”

“Food and service were great. We had the surf and turf special which is an extremely good deal. My steak was undercooked for my liking and the staff corrected it immediately. My only complaint was that we had a very early reservation. In fact we were the first in the restaurant. We were in a room with about 9 tables around the edge of the room. The next party to be seated in that room was right next to us. It would have been nice to spread parties out for a little more privacy.”

“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!”

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

“excellent service and super attention from our server Liss, despite the lengthy wait for entrées coming out of the kitchen . good teamwork by the front of house staff. Food was very good.

“Love this place.”

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

“I was introduced to them at the farmers market and I’m in love! I have yet to have anything bad from there and have already been there twice since my initial visit on Saturday”

“Lola and Jordan gave me a great first experience as well as preparing the best boba tea my girlfriend and I have tasted. We both got the mango and strawberry lemonade tea with jelly and boba and everything was amazing! 100/10”

“The food is delicious. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. The lady who took the order was not so pleasant rough. I will not return because she charged extra for shrimp when I asked she said no. Also she was cold…”

“Really enjoyed my lunch here. The kickin kay lynne salad had lots of flavor and a good spicy kick. The grape salad is so refreshing. The sandwich is a good size, there are a lot of side choices, and you get a pickle and a small melt-in-your-mouth cookie. So it's a pretty good value. Will be back to try more things!”

“There are many tourist type restaurants that people will recommend you in Williamsburg and let me tell ya, skip it. Go to Dizzy Izzy’s where you will find a true family owned local spot near Jamestown beach. The owner was so nice and talked about his menu. He explained how much of the items are house made and/or made with imported ingredients straight from Italy. We had a couple subs on freshly made ciabatta bread that was so incredibly good. We also got some of the chocolate chip cookies and my goodness, one of the best chocolate chip cookies I have had. We will definitely be back to try some pizza soon!”

“We love going to Frothy Moon every Monday for Moms Muffins and Minis. Plate Fete’s pretzel bagel breakfast sandwiches are SO delicious. We also love the brown butter cinnamon rolls and the Black Forest sandwich cookies. 10/10 recommend. Such a fun way to start the week!”

“This has become my go-to Starbucks whenever I'm in this area. Plenty of parking and lots of seating, inside and out. The staff is friendly and efficient. The place is spotless clean. I highly recommend. There's also a drive-thru but I have not used that yet.”

“I love coming to Murdochs and requesting Amanda S. She is so bubbly and knowledgable about the menu and drinks. The food is great but we mainly come for the service!”

“excellent, professional, luxurious! the Matcha Mamba was the most thought out, perfectly crafted latte I've ever had in my life. and I am a batista.”

“This is our go to when shopping at the outlets. Make Me A Plate never disappoints! The food is always fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Every meal tastes homemade and prepared with care. On top of the great food, the customer service is outstanding—friendly, professional, and welcoming every time. If you're looking for delicious food and a great experience, I highly recommend Make Me A Plate! 🙏 Candi &Geo”

“It's convenient and clean one stop shopping for food, gas and restrooms. Service and prices are good. They serve up the best custom ordered philly cheesesteak sandwiches! Vegetarian or whatever, they've got something for you.”

“Stopped by for the first time yesterday. I ordered on the app & picked up through the drive through. The orange chicken & rice was delicious! I didn’t care much for the noodles, teriyaki madness has better noodles, maybe they should change how they cook them or something. I tried a small side of the dynamite sweet & sour chicken…that chicken is HOT! It doesn’t taste bad but it is too hot for my liking. Will definitely come back for more orange chicken & rice though!”
