Food was cold. Knife could not cut prime rib. Service was slow and inattentive. Our server was tied up with spending all his time with another table. Staff were taking down Christmas decorations at 6pm while people were eating dinner. When we left- host couldn't be bothered to look up from his phone to acknowledge us. read more

We visited Aberdeen Barn in Williamsburg for a birthday dinner. It was my first time there and the server we had was absolutely amazing. His name was Hubert. By far the best server I have ever had. His customer service and hospitality was beyond expectation. Thank you Hubert for making my birthday dinner a rememberable one. read more

We had an outstanding dinner last night. Harris makes us truly feel like a guest, not a customer. He so effortlessly moves and takes care of our every need. I had the Restaurant Week special, Shrimp and Corn Chowder, salad, and Surf and Turf of Prime Rib and tuna steak w/potato. Great value for $44.99. Everything was prepared perfectly medium rare and was wonderful. My wife had the petite filet, and excellent as usual. This is old style traditional dining, which is great occasionally, taking our time while dining. read more

Excellent across the board. Quick and attentive service by Hubert. Crackers and cheese (a nice touch) followed by exceptionally fresh and delicious salads. Steak and prime rib perfectly cooked. Everything served piping hot. Definitely makes you glad you came! read more

This was an incredible dining experience. I'm from the Midwest, and this was like a slice of home! Reminded me of a classic steakhouse. Mike was our waiter, and the service was over the top fantastic! We all had the prime rib and lobster claw three course special for restaurant week, and oh my Lord was it some of the best eating I've had in the last few years. Have lived here for years, and somehow have never tried it. We'll be back, and hoping to get a table with Mike! read more

I must say I had higher expectations based on the previous yelp reviews. Don't get me wrong the food is good just not great. I had the prime rib, decent flavor. I would order it again if we went back. They don't have a great selection of sides typical baked potato and broccoli or salad. Restaurant was definitely dated had that old funky smell when you walk in. Service was also just ok. Waiter was older And hard of hearing, messed up two of the orders. But he did try hard. read more

The best service in town! We hosted a large party for an Anniversary Party and this restaurant was the best possible location. It has separate rooms for parties. The owner was so flexible with the planning allowing us to structure the evening in the manner that best suited us. Then upon arrival, our staff for the night: Kyle, Brandon, and Wendy introduced themselves and was with us the entire evening. Everyone at the event thought the food was excellent and the service was top drawer. I cannot recommend this more for any dinner but particularly if you have an event that you are planning! read more

First off, this was a 1JAN25 dinner, so it was surprising that we were able to get a reservation in a quiet ambiance. Mr. Harris James our serve also made the experience more special in his service to our table. My ribeye was cooked to perfection and the old fashioned was amazing! Looking forward to visiting again. read more

I really enjoyed my food and service at Aberdeen bar. Harris is the best server. The oysters and the black and blue bites were great appetizer. Even the crackers and the cheese they gave was amazing. Lamb chops were perfection and the seafood combination did not disappoint. Make sure you ask for Harris section because you're gonna have a great experience. Definitely will be back if I'm in Williamsburg. read more

Had dinner there on 28 Dec 2023. There were 6 in our party. Every meal was cooked to perfection! From the fillets, to the tuna steak, to the nicest example of prime rib I have ever seen! Everything was perfect! Including the superb service provided by Hubert, our server. His delightful demeanor and warm smile just made the night perfect! read more

The service and food are outstanding. We both had the New York Strip. It was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. I would give it five stars except for two things: 1. The decor needs to be updated. It feels like the set of a Chevy Chase or John Candy family vacation movie. 2. The music. It was a constant barrage of 50 year old Motown hits. It just made the decor seem that much more dated. read more

The food was magnificent only surpassed by the service provided by Harris James! If you visit Aberdeen Barn make sure to request his section. You will not regret it. Get the French Onion soup or the Caesar salad. Both are beyond scrump read more

We were here years ago and just came back. It's still a great traditional non-chain restaurant. It was a quiet evening since this is a bit of a slow season. I had sirloin steak and my wife had seafood platter (shrimp and mahi). We used a coupon which was a great deal. My steak was perfectly done and flavorful and the sides were nice. Our waiter, Harris, was so personable and friendly - great service! . We remembered him from our previous visit. Loved the personal service. We really enjoyed our dinner. read more

Aberdeen Barn - Sirloin and redskin potatoes w/onion ring - Seafood Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

The building has an old steakhouse feel. Went there for steak and seafood but ended up with just seafood. I had the Mahi Mahi which was flaky with good flavor; not overwhelmed by the sauces. My husband had the fried seafood trilogy because we had to find out what fried scallops tasted like. They were delicious! Not rubbery, and the fried flavor was not overwhelming. They gave us crackers and cheese, and bread while we waited. Prices were reasonable. The only low spot was the waiter being rude to the elderly group next to us. He was obviously impatient with them. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and it has by far the best steak we have ever had. The service was impeccable.

Not what I was expecting. So the Good: atmosphere was nice and managed appropriately. Waitstaff was attentive. That's about it. Now for the bad: starter crackers and cheese was horrible, think cheese wiz in a bowl and crackers are run of the mill 2 per pack wrapped in plastic ritz. Dinner bread was warm but tasted and looked like Walmart frozen dough. Steak was correct temp but void of any seasoning. Thank goodness for steak sauce. TV commercial made this place look so good...Such a letdown. read more

The food was very good. We used a coupon for two that outlined a three course meal. The choices were fine and the food was well prepared. It cost about thirty dollars each. The service was excellent. The restaurant itself is a mainstay of Williamsburg. read more

This place is phenomenal, open for dinner only so after 4:30pm. The bar service was excellent, the bartender Ron is an excellent asset to this place. The food was nothing short of heavenly, I had the lamb chops, totally worth it. Nice bar ambiance, had a great time talking, laughing, eating, and drinking. This is not a place you'll regret going to. Give it a shot. read more

This was a great experience, all I can say is great. Now I am not much of a steak person but this was good. The food was nice and the menu was diverse. But what made this place great was our waiter Harris he was nice and polite, definitely a great guy. The only criticism I have is the website was not specific enough about the location be careful if you're making an online reservation and you want to go to the Richmond Road location. The online reservation takes you to Virginia Beach. The food was a bit pricey other than that a great experience. read more

As a first timer at this restaurant, I'm truly blown away with this place. The food was great. I absolutely loved the cheese and crackers. We ordered potato skins as an appetizer. They were delicious! The steaks were very good and juicy. Mashed potatoes were perfect! Harris was super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable with the whole establishment.

We went to the Aberdeen Barn while we were visiting Williamsburg, VA in October. It has a warm and cozy vibe and we had an enjoyable dining experience. We ordered the Prime Rib dinners and this was prepared to perfection. Plenty of real bacon bits, shredded cheese and sour cream to put on our baked potatoes. Our waiter, Harris James, provided teriffic service. Very attentive to all our needs. We were so full, we couldn't finish all of our food. Harris packed up our goodies to take home and invited us to return again soon. read more

Me and the girlfriend went there tonight and had an okay meal. The service there is absolutely amazing! The guy that waited us was super nice and attentive but the food was very average and the steak I got was very under seasoned but perfectly cooked. My girlfriend got the scallops and shrimp and her shrimp was very over cooked with her food also under seasoned. The spiked coffees though were a cool touch and tasted great. Most likely wouldn't return but the staff there is great. Overpriced for what it was. read more

Aberdeen Barn is consistently great. The food is always cooked perfectly, the salad is always fresh, the house made blue cheese dressing is a must, but the service is really exceptional! Ask for Mr Harris James and you will be treated to a fine dining experience. He is the best! read more

Not a great experience last night at the Aberdeen barn. A party of six looking for a steak and seafood house. Reviews were pretty good online so we thought we would try it. Our waitress was a sweetheart, she was very pleasant. However, the entire dinner experience was over two hours. We waited and waited and waited for our food, a combination of steak and seafood. And then once it arrived, it was only average at best. My wife had the fried shrimp. It was $20. It was as if they picked up frozen shrimp in a box from the local local grocery store and threw it in the microwave for four minutes. I had the 9 ounce filet. It was lukewarm when it arrived, there was nothing special about it. I graded this at three although if our server was not so wonderful, it would be at two. We will definitely not be heading back to this restaurant in the future Close to $100 when tax and tip or added in, our experience fell flat read more

We came to Williamsburg as our family Christmas vacation trip, and visited the Aberdeen Barn for a nice family dinner out with our kids. Our experience was nothing short of perfect, thanks especially to our server Ron! Ron not only was on top of everything we needed, but quick to suggest favorites and best preparations for those who ordered steak. I'm sure we never had an empty drink glass or an empty dinner roll basket. The couple if drinks we ordered we also just right. As foster and adoptive parents, I cant tell you how much a smooth and enjoyable experience was appreciated, on top of escaping the 44 inches of snow where we live! We will surely visit again when in the area!! Thank you Aberdeen Barn staff! Also worth mentioning-all staff were wearing masks as well as gloves and seemed to be exceptionally following any Covid protocol in place. read more
