The staff was super nice the moment we walk in the door. Our Server (Emily) was supper knowledgeable and made suggestion's that where on point. Plating was nice to look at and tasted wonderful. Rib appetizer was fell off the bone tender, better than some BBQ joints. My wife had the Nutty Chicken, Mash Potatoes and Beets with citrus. I had the Peppercorn Encrusted Tuna , Mushroom rice with zucchini. Portion size was appropriate and the flavor profile of our food could not be beat. The restaurant has quotes post on the walls from historical figures that I fell in love with, after mentioning this to our server, she gave me a printed list of all the quotes. Thanks for a great dinning experience!!

We were seated right away, and our service was awesome from start to finish. FOOD REVIEW Thai Poppin' Shrimp 5/5 - I really appreciated Robin for making sure we had a great experience with this dish. Berry Burrata 3/5 - Not my favorite, but still decent. Asian Chicken Wraps 3/5 - This was okay, just a little too saucy for me. Fried Green Tomatoes 5/5 - One of our favorites. The pimiento cheese paired perfectly with it. Carolina Burger 4/5 - Huge portion, and my son really enjoyed it. 2nd St Burger 4/5 - Another big portion and overall really good. Kids Pizza & Tenderloins 3/5 - Decent for the kids, though the pizza bread was a bit dense. DRINKS Margarita 4/5 Prickly Pear 4/5 Robin really made our experience even better. She checked on us frequently and made sure everything came out right. The portions here are on the larger side, so I'd recommend ordering family-style if you're dining with a group. Overall, the food was great, and the service made the experience even better.

I searched for French dip in Williamsburg. Second street bistro kept coming up on ChatGPT. I looked…read moreat the menu and saw a brisket sandwich. When I got to the restaurant I asked if they had horse radish: no. Au jus: yes. I wanted a piece of Carrot cake but I thought $18 was exorbitant. I opted for the pecan pie instead. The online menu said they had some crispy chicken dinner... It was no longer part of the menu when I arrived to the restaurant.. My significant other is allergic to shellfish, and does not eat pork... There weren't a lot of entrée options for him because there was pork all over the place. I did order him some salmon since he could not get the chicken. He liked the salmon. The broccoli had no flavor on it. And the brown rice pilaf was equally Bland. The brisket sandwich was ...okay... but dipping it in French onion soup calling it onion jus.... It just pissed me off. I think the menu was overpriced for tourists. The staff seemed to be doing the best they could. I guess I'll continue my hunt for the best Friend dip in Williamsburg. I'm down here a lot.

They couldn't have been nicer on a busy afternoon, accommodating us outside on their sunny patio. The menu is simple but varied and has something for everyone. Service was prompt, accurate and friendly. Our beverages went down easy; courtesy refills were appreciated. We all wished the food was better - large portions, but quality more like "tired diner" than fresh and delicious. A few of us didn't finish and some didn't feel great a few hours later. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things or hit a bad day. Sorry.

It was 1:30 and they were already sold out if their Cowboy Cookies so I took that as a good sign to come back and grab one of those when I need a cookie fix! I was there for their pumpkin cheesecake roulade and their pumpkin caramel cheesecake roulade and they did not disappoint. Both were absolutely delicious. They have an area before going into the restaurant for grab-n-go goodies and people behind the counter to get you backed goods as well as food items such as soups, meats, prepared salads almost like a deli. There are also frozen cases with frozen items and baked goods out in the counter to grab. Service was nice from the ladies behind the counter. Can't wait to try out the restaurant soon!

Let me say that…read moreWilliamsburg parking is often a nightmare, but there is a lot in the way of fair-priced parking lots nearby. Everything we had, I would get again. The "chilli eggs" were great. The lamb was so good we saved half just so we could have it later in the day. The lattes were solid, too. For a place where you have to wait in line to pay and have your food brought to you, it is not cheap. But the prices don't feel like you're being gouged either. Just don't expect to get out of there with two people and pay $30 dollars. It will not happen. Also, don't expect quiet. This place is loud. Small rooms with lots of chairs and nothing to cushion the noise. My perfect visit: 1. Have someone order the food and find seating. 2. You go to the dessert place a few doors down and get a medley of treats. 3. If you're two people, order three things and share a bit of each. 4. When you're almost done, order two coffees to go then sit back down. 5. Someone will bring you your coffees and you can walk out with drinks in hand and snack on chocolate covered items as you walk back to your car. 6. Complain that you should have gotten the large coffee and didn't ask for napkins so your fingers are a bit sticky. 7. Drive contentedly home and talk about what your favorite thing was. 8. No, no one is nice about merging back onto that highway, but that's not Hohl's fault.

It is a cute place to stop and get something to munch on while your visiting Jamestown. They have quick snacks and some nice sammies & real food to eat if your hungry. My friend got the minestrone soup which she said was very good. There is a patio that you can sit outside & enjoy your food or snacks on a good day. I also took note of the local items they happened to carry like the fudge and the honey. The staff was also nice & helpful. A solid place to visit in the Jamestown area when your in need of a quick bite or drink.

If you are stopping at the museums at Jamestown - give this place a try!

I did not expect to find food this good at Historic Jamestown.

We had lunch at Tipsy Beans Cafe while visiting Williamsburg and it was a great stop…read more When we first walked in, I assumed it was counter service like a typical coffee bar. After checking in at the bar, we were told to grab a seat and that a server would come by, which they did promptly. The menu leans heavily into brunch, with plenty of options, plus coffee made just about any way you want it. True to the name, you can also add a shot or a bit of booze to just about anything. Service was fast and friendly throughout. I ordered a breakfast benedict and a mimosa, both of which were excellent. My daughter went with pancakes and really enjoyed them as well. Overall, a great experience and an easy recommendation if you are in Williamsburg and looking for a relaxed brunch or lunch spot.

IT'S SMALL I tried to call in my order but I got the voicemail almost every single time. Finally, after calling about 10 times I got through and placed my order. They told me the wait was going to be about 15. It was about a 10 min drive and when I got there, I still had to wait. There wasn't space for me to wait so people thought that I was waiting in line each time they walked in. It's super busy, but super small. I waited in the restaurant for my order for maybe an extra 20 mins. So, the wait time was 15 but I waited about 30 mins total. I ordered the catfish platter with fries. They definitely seasoned the catfish and fried it hard. The fries were thick cut and seasoned, but they weren't fried long enough. 3 fish platters cost $50. I would try this place again, but maybe a lot earlier in the day. Because this place is very inconvenient.

We also enjoy their Maryland crab cakes. but they are spicier. My husband really likes their coffee selection. They have bins and bins of beans that you scoop, grind, and bag the amount you want to buy. I like that they carry some David's teas and Harney & Sons teas. Their bakery offers some delicious small dessert so you can buy the small size to try it out or for variety. Their flowers are lovely, though on the more expensive side than Trader Joe's across the street. Staff are friendly and efficient. I have especially found them helpful when I buy a meal package during the holidays. These packages come with meal, dessert, and flowers. They are a big hit in our home. Parking is easy, and the store is just off Monticello Avenue.

I do love diners like this one, no nonsense, 70's orange vibe, classic menu! The grits and eggs were great, my bacon didn't come out like I ordered it and our server put in for more, but it never came. They were busy, so no worries, she adjusted the bill. My favorite thing? The toasted cornbread!! Yummy! The pancakes were huge! We will be back and I have a feeling they may get an extra star next time! Breakfast served all day, closes at 2pm.
