“Great food and service. Gluten free options are incredible. Never had anything I didn't like. They even provide a gluten free dinner roll.”
“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.”
“We are so glad we found this place. The drinks and food were outstanding. Our server Kristy was super. Very knowledgeable on the menu and helpful when we had questions. I had the Bison with butternut squash ravioli which was amazing. My wife had the meatloaf. We talked about our meal for the next several days. I wished we had room for dessert. We did take cookies home.”
“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.”

“We are from Tennessee. I spent 6 years living on the coast of SC and moved back several years ago to my hometown (and knew not to order seafood when in a landlocked state).I took my family to Berret’s and my oldest son who loves seafood is now ruined from eating it back home because of his newly acquired taste of fresh seafood that he got from this establishment. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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”
“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'm a local Chesapeake Bay Writer, and after being homebound for three months due to a post-op knee infection, I'm finally able to venture out and about Williamsburg, seeking a different writing atmosphere than home. Anonymous Coffee was low-keyed, comfortable -- kind of the anti-Starbucks. If you need a change-of-pace place to plop down and work, I highly recommend his coffeehouse.”

“They’re the most friendly & sweetest!! Plus their food is delicious!!! :)”
“March 2025 | Spring Menu | My friend had the burger. It was his second time at Amber Ox, two different seasons, same protein. He loved it. He compared it to the fall menu burger and was so impressed that it was done this way. It was my birthday. I got the pork chop dish. Although, I love your menus, this is absolutely my favorite. I will be back before the end of the season for another taste. The staff were wonderful and attentive as always. You made my birthday dinner. Thank you so much.”

“One of our absolute favorite lunch spots in all of Williamsburg. Their lunch specials can’t be beat! I always get the Rachel sandwich with fries, and my partner always gets the steak salad. $13-15 price range for a very nice atmosphere and the best servers around. 12 out of 10 for their lunches!”
“I highly recommend taking at least one meal at Kings Arms if you're visiting Colonial Williamsburg. The food is excellent and the staff are extremely accomidating. Kings Arms is a top level dining experience and a "must" visit if you want to experience a taste of Colonial dining.”
“We were in the area for a quick meal with kids but found this treasure and loved every dishes. This is the first time my youngest finished the whole plate and the fried rice was so delicious. The Maguro Ninja was my favorite for sure, the spicy and freshness of the tuna were best combination. Miso and Tonkatsu ramen was a hit for our family too. We loved this place so much that we come back again before heading home. This will be our go to place for whenever we are in the area”
“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).”
“They have the best fried flounder and oysters and their appetizers and desserts are out of this world. The staff is so friendly if I didn’t live out of state, I’d eat there every week!”

“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!”
“Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere! My friend and I each started with a crisp, cold, and delicious Classic Greek Salad. He had the Gyro (huge), and I ordered the Greek Burger. The burger was amazing, if a tad sloppy with the all sauce and feta. Knife and fork time! I didn't mind one bit! The fries were fresh, hot, crisp, and delicious! My friend raved about the gyro, and we immediately agreed to visit again soon! Gotta get some baked goods and take photos next time!
Update: Still no photos, but Mom got the strawberry cheesecake for us to "share." She left two rather small but absolutely delicious bites for me. I'll be back!”

“The quality, speed, service are all absolutely top notch. Truly a Williamsburg gem. I appreciate their attention to detail: I put in an online order and requested my toppings be on the bottom (makes it easier to eat) - they noticed my request and fulfilled it. We first got around to eating here like three months ago, and we've been back twice already. Definitely in our regular rotation. I will also say that hilariously, I thought instead of ordering two dogs, I'd order a footlong instead. Dunno if they have larger buns, but online ordering didn't give me the option. So I had a hilariously huge foot long dog that was as thick as a kielbasa on a regular bun. Was it delicious? YES. Will I do that again? Nah. But it was a fun "mistake" lol. (I couldn't pick it up with the bun - I had to chop the ends off. So it was super super delicious!) Oh, and how they package everything to go - they put thought and care into that. They cover things with foil to help keep the heat in, and it works. Again, attention to detail, and they care about quality. Love these guys!”
“Was pretty upset we didn’t get to go there Fourth of July weekend. But it’s Pretty cool they shut down and take the holiday off though. More small businesses should do that when they can. We have Been before and the steak and cheese are always killer. Hopefully I get to go back soon”
“It was our first time visiting Keland's and we tried the crab balls, alligator bites a and catfish poboy. Everything was cooked to perfection. To top it off, the customer service was impeccable. Shawn ensured that we were satisfied and provided excellent hospitality. We will definitely return to try some of the other items on the menu.”

“Never have been to Meadows before; but I will be back. The custard tasted sooooo good. The people were nice and patient. Everything looked so good and it was hard to make a choice. The portions were good, the added items in the sundae were fresh, crunch, and tasted good. Thank you for a great experience!”
“I have been following HB on social media for a while now and decided today was the day since I was in Williamsburg. I ordered two pork egg rolls, General Tso Chicken and beef with fried rice. The beef and fried rice were my favorite but everything we ordered was delicious. Ahhhhmazing! Totally worth the wait for me to make it there from Gloucester. We will be back! Thank you and your wonderful helper that was assisting you today.”
“We are visiting from New Jersey and ate here on our first night in Williamsburg. I wish we ate here on our last night because my husband and I cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was here. We love supporting local restaurants and trying a new restaurant each night but we contemplated each night if we should go back here because we could not stop thinking about all of our food. They had the best baked clams I have ever had and their key lime dessert was so light and refreshing. I’m currently 8 months pregnant and was really upset I couldn’t try any of the raw options so we will definitely be coming back here once the baby is here. Noah, our server, was amazing and the whole ambiance was so relaxed and chill. Highly recommend, it is worth every penny!”
“The outdoor seating is comfortable! There is indoor seating as well. The live music is entertaining and the food trucks are terrific. Try their Free Verse beer! 🍻
Check their schedule for what and when a food truck is there!”

“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 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 family and I all love 7 Mares Mexican Grill! I was raised in Southern California, and this restaurant tastes like home.

“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!”
“A great, casual place with outstanding food & super nice staff. We had the Korean sandwich, the bbq sandwich & the slider, along with loaded fries. Everything is cooked to order which means your food comes out hot & fresh. I had the rosemary pepper seasoning on the fries- so good!
The restaurant is very clean. Staff deserve a shout- out: Keysean, Taneea, Walter & Javier- great job!”

“Thank you Robin, for making our experience at Bonefish truly memorable. Everything was perfect and right on time!”
“Me and my boyfriend had the best time here last night celebrating our 6 year anniversary. We had looked around for a good place to end off the night with and this one showed up and looked so good. It was so much better than the pictures, Ian was the best. We would tell him what kind of beer we liked and gave us ones to try and they were always perfect, he even helped me look up my favorite beer so we get figure out what it was made from so I could find the best one for me. Him and another customer helped us find more places to go on our trip, it was just the most enjoyable experience at this place and we can not wait to go back.”
