Their Vienna lager did not disappoint. It was light, crisp, refreshing, and just malty enough to wash down the tasty noodles I enjoyed alongside. I also really loved the community vibe of this place, with a huge beer garden and plenty of indoor seating too. I also appreciated the super friendly service and welcoming crowd of locals. The parking lot was a bit tight and I learned the hard way why most folks backed into their parking spots (it was a tight corridor backing out)!

The German Dog had a great combination of sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard, with plenty of topping in every bite. The corn dog was golden and crisp on the outside with a juicy hot dog inside. The real surprise was the pickle fries. They were crunchy, tangy, well seasoned, and especially good with the dipping sauce. The menu has a lot of creative choices beyond ordinary hot dogs, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The restaurant also has a welcoming, family-owned feel that makes the experience even better. A fun local spot with great food and plenty of personality. We would definitely return and try more of the menu.

I ordered Fried Crab Claw Cakes that came with potatoes and a slaw. All were very tasty. My husband got the Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya and loved it. We took desserts for later at the hotel: My husband's brownie was good and they packed the ice cream separately, so that made him happy. I had the peach cobbler, and while good -- I tend to like my peaches a bit more "peachy" ....they use lots and lots of cinnamon and allspice. The fruit was dark brown.

The Virginian burger also salty, and the crab cake, small and underwhelming. The Chicken wings tasteless and dry. On too of this i had no choice but to pay a 10% tip for "take out prepare ".

We started with homemade chips for the table and we got down to ordering. I had the Waygu burger and my wife had the salmon burger. Both were overly generous in size, quite filling, and reasonably priced. I really didn't see what the rest of the family had due to my place at the end of the table, but everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. We ended with each couple sharing a large warm fresh baked cookie. I'm looking forward to them opening a location closer to St. Louis!

Meatloaf was good and the flatbread was quite delicious. Kids enjoyed their food as well. Onion rings as well, can't go wrong.

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially for locally owned businesses, but my experience at…read moreCook's on October 25 was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it. What makes it even more frustrating is that I reached out to the restaurant directly the following day, hoping to give management an opportunity to address the situation before posting a public review. Four days later, I have received no response. Unfortunately, that silence has only reinforced the impression that customer satisfaction is not a priority. My wife and I were enjoying an evening in Williamsburg with another couple. I recommended Cook's because I had previously enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. Unfortunately, while the food was once again very good, the service was among the worst I have experienced in quite some time. After being seated and provided water, we waited approximately 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging our table. During that time, the booth beside us was cleared, cleaned, and seated with new customers whose orders were taken while we continued to wait. I attempted twice to get the attention of passing employees before finally having to raise my voice just to ask someone to send our server over. When our server finally arrived, there was no apology, no acknowledgment of the delay, and very little courtesy. She took our orders with an indifferent attitude that made us feel more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. Unfortunately, the service never improved. Our drinks took another 15-20 minutes to arrive, and once our food was delivered, our server never returned to check on us. No drink refills, no inquiry about our meals, and no attention whatsoever. We eventually had to request our checks, which were incorrect despite having specifically asked that they be separated by couple. The irony is that the food was excellent. Every person at our table enjoyed their meal. But good food alone cannot compensate for service that makes customers feel completely unimportant. Three of the four people at our table have worked in the restaurant industry. We understand that restaurants get busy, mistakes happen, and employees have difficult days. We weren't expecting perfection. A simple apology, a little courtesy, or even the slightest effort to make things right would have completely changed our experience. Instead, four customers left with little desire to return. I was particularly disappointed because I had recommended Cook's to our friends. As we left, my wife said, "I never have to come here again." Our friends expressed essentially the same sentiment. Rather than immediately posting a negative review, I took the time to send a detailed, respectful email to the restaurant on October 26. I explained our experience, complimented the food, and made clear that I wasn't seeking anything complimentary or special. I simply wanted management to be aware of what happened and hoped to hear their perspective. No response. Not even a brief acknowledgment. That may be the most disappointing part of this entire experience. Poor service on one evening can be an isolated incident. Ignoring a customer who takes the time to provide thoughtful feedback creates an entirely different impression. I live in Williamsburg and genuinely enjoy supporting local restaurants. Dining out is expensive, and when customers choose to spend their hard-earned money at an establishment, they should reasonably expect to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. Cook's clearly knows how to prepare good food. Unfortunately, based on our experience and the lack of response afterward, I am left questioning whether they place the same importance on taking care of their customers. Good food brings people through the door. Good service brings them back. Unfortunately, Cook's gave four satisfied diners very little reason to return.

I went for the tried and true Alewerks because I love everything they make. And indeed, it was cold and hit the spot. Even though I did not give any specific instructions for the cheeseburger, it came out amazing, as did the French fries. I had two more beers (one more Alewerks and the Brass Tap double IPA) before calling it a night. I am blown away by the quality of the food and the service and I cannot wait to return!
