We found this restaurant as we were exploring Williamsburg. After checking in to our motel, the…read moreCrest Country Inn, we needed dinner, and I am so glad to have found this place. We walked in and immediately greeted by both a server and the bartender. Lots of comfortable tables, a large bar, and an area to play pool and throw darts. Once we found a table we realized how family-friendly the restaurant was as there was a section of board games, card games, group games that people could come in and just play as they were enjoying their evening. Our server was friendly, suggesting a drink special and letting my husband sample a couple of beers before he settled on a local ale, and the bartender very easily switched the drink special from a vodka base to a bourbon base. I highly suggest a Kentucky Mule at this place! We ordered fried corn nuggets as an appetizer, which came out quickly and were very yummy. My husband ordered the steak sandwich which was well prepared and not overcooked. I had the broasted chicken with mashed potatoes and corn and was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes. As we left, we chatted with the bartender, and then the owner of the business and they were the nicest people. Asking why we were visiting the town, where we were traveling to, where we were from, and even going so far as to compliment my nails! This restaurant is a must-try when you are in the area.
