    Corned Beef Hash
    Lisa C.

    Five Forks Cafe seemed like it would be a great little mom and pop greasy spoon. It was not. The positive: 1. Hot cakes 2. A perfect egg over-easy 3. A fabulous egg sandwich 4. Delicious sausage gravy The meh: 1. Service was friendly but not attentive 2. Biscuits tasted like Grands Frozen Biscuits The negative: 1. Hash-browns were not seasoned and definitely frozen because they were still cold in the center. 2. The corned beef hash was easily identified as canned by the tiny dehydrated potatoes and potted meat consistency. 3. Terrible coffee

    $6 onion rings

    Decent diner food. It's an old place so don't expect nice or modern decor. We ordered the $12 reuben sandwich comes with crinkle fries, $8 bacon egg breakfast sandwich (they are charging .50 cents extra per egg! and this sandwich has 1 very thin egg), $6 onion rings, $3 coffee. Everything tasted pretty good but the reuben didn't have much meat. The bill came to $32.

    My son and I come here a lot for breakfast, they have his favorite pancakes in Williamsburg. We come here wanting and expecting an old diner experience, and that is what we get. It's somewhere we can stop at before school as we have been in and out in under 25 minutes before. Not coming here to be catered too, just to get breakfast in a cute diner.

    What a cute diner in Williamsburg! Yes, you read that right, I said diner not cafe! When I first mentioned to my husband I wanted to try out Five Forks Cafe for breakfast he initially was hesitant as thinking it would be a fru-fru place being some high end cafe: I assured him that reading through the reviews the food was good and it was more like a diner then an upscale cafe. When you walk in you can see right back into the kitchen and the cooks were right there on the grill making the food. The place looks like your typical old-school diner you would find where you can sit at the counter and see your food being prepared. We were sat right away and had a very pleasant waitress who was as sweet as could be. We ordered the following food to try: Corn Cakes with honey butter: loved these! I didn't even use syrup just some of the honey butter. Great flavor. Sausage Gravy over biscuits: also good flavor. Nice spice. Pancake: We like them more fluffy but it was still good. Eggs, bacon and hash browns either came with our meals or were ordered as sides and they were all cooked well and yummy! They had a cinnamon roll as a special of the day and it was very good! Nice, flakey and came out hot! This place will be going on our breakfast rotation list for Williamsburg!!

    Want a classic greasy spoon diner? This is it. Hidden gem, off the beaten path? Yep. Everything that my family had today was delicious and the portions were generous. The ONLY reason that they lost a star was because the prices have really skyrocketed for most things. The prices are just too high for a diner. I love this place, but it's the truth. The breakfast sandwich with feta, spinach, and tomato was amazing. My wife's corned beef hash was huge, and though she didn't like it, i felt like it was great. My two daughters each got a confetti pancake, which were bigger than their heads! My son had the French toast sticks and devoured the entire meal!

    Cute diner that was conveniently located on our way back down to NC. I got the French toast which I'd never seen made with anything other than a brioche bread but it still tasted good! The server was also super friendly and attentive!

    Chili omelette
    Debra G.

    The food was average, service average, atmosphere average. Server did not ask about food once she placed it in front of us. If she had I would have pointed out that my omelette was not prepared properly. It was missing the hash browns inside and I received the wrong toast.

They also came with fries or onion rings, funnel cake fries, and a drink of your choice. Two of the guys had the root beer and said it was pretty good. Now as for the dogs, the two guys that had the coneys were happy with them, although one was hoping for a little more spice from the chili, but it was by no means bad. The burnt ends dog was said to be pretty freaking good. As for the American dog, we'll that was a different story. It wasn't a bad dog, but it tasted like it had been boil cooked and not cooked on the griddle. Additionally, it wasn't really that warm. I guess warm is a good description for it. It would have been better if it was hot and you could see some cooking marks on it. Alas, it was and had neither. But again, it wasn't a bad dog, but it could have been much better. The onion rings were pretty tasty though, as were the funnel cake fries and crinkle cut fries. This night was Wednesday, so it was trivia night. At 6:30. At about 6:00 people really started to come in, and by 6:30, the place was packed. Guess trivia night is a big hit... The people working there were super friendly and you fealt as if they were happy to be there. I would have given it 5 stars, but tbe warm dog just brought my experience down a bit. But don't let that stop you from going there, because you'll probably have a good time with good food and good people.
