I stopped in to get takeout & got to speak with Corey & a few others..all down to earth good folk. The greens are so good that I literally shed a tear! Ate them sitting in the parking lot. Couldn't stop cause they are THAT good. The chicken is perfectly cooked, juicy & seasoned. The crab bites are ridiculously good! Corey Jr. & his staff are top tier & very much appreciated. Wonderful menu that brings back wonderful memories of home. Thanks y'all!!! Kudos

Our hostess was friendly and found us a clean table right away. My MIL was happy to see a baseball…read moregame on one of the large TVs and enjoyed having a good view of the game while we waited for our food. I appreciated our server, Emily, as she took time to repeat our order and made it a point to ask if we needed anything after bringing our drinks. She was very attentive. Food was good. We enjoyed the Chips & Dip Trio appetizer. The Lemon Pepper boneless wings were tasty. And the Mango Habanero wings had some heat! All-in-all this was a great meal.

While visiting Williamsburg, we decided to grab some dinner. As we were passing by the Big Yellow…read moreWinged Buffalo, the two 15-year-old boys immediately spotted it and said, "That's what we want to eat!" So, of course, we listened to the teenagers! That was our first mistake! We walked in and were seated shortly after 7 PM. Our waitress greeted us, took our drink order, and returned with my soda. The kids' lemonades were still being made, and my fiancé's beer hadn't even been poured by the bartender yet. It ended up taking 8 minutes after receiving my drink for the waitress to bring the rest of our drinks. Normally, I wouldn't make a big deal about that, but there were maybe 25-30 people in the entire restaurant. Looking back, that probably should have been another sign to leave. But after two kids and two adults had been in the car for three hours, we were hungry and ready to eat. Once we finally received our drinks, we placed our orders. While we were waiting, the gentleman at the table beside us asked to speak with the manager. His wife turned around and explained to us that they had ordered their food, but the two kids' meals still hadn't come out while the adults were almost finished eating. You could see that both parents were upset and frustrated, and the little ones were clearly just ready to have their food. The wife knew the husband was going to be angry so she prepared us for it and stayed she hoped our experience would be better! When the manager came over, shs explained that the kids' food "didn't look presentable to send out," that they were short-staffed, and that it would be ready soon. Oh my, Kids food didn't look presentable enough? It's BDubs not anything fancy! The manger definitely was in the wrong, if there isn't enough kitchen staff trained to prepare food than they shouldn't be opened for business! At that point, I remember thinking, Oh golly... this isn't going to turn out well. And unfortunately, I was right. When our food finally arrived, the wings were extremely overcooked and absolutely drenched in sauce. My 15-year-old son, who loves our hometown Bdubs, could only choke down 3 of them. I tasted one myself, and honestly, I can't even describe how much teriyaki sauce was smothered on it. I ordered the patty melt. It was overcooked & super dry amd definitely not worth the price. The fries were loaded with salt, and the other two meals in our party were, at best, just okay. By the time we finally left, we had been there for over two hours. For what we paid and the overall experience, it simply wasn't worth it. Even the restroom could use a good cleaning. I always try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt because everyone can have an off night, and I understand that staffing issues happen. But with the lack of people in the restaurant, the long wait for drinks, the issues we witnessed at the table beside us, the quality of our food, and the amount of time we spent there, this was unfortunately not a good experience. I definitely would not recommend this particular location. Two teenage boys picked it because it looked like a great place to eat, and unfortunately, it ended up being one of those vacation meals we'll remember for all the wrong reasons!!!

Rick's Cheesesteak Shop is worth the hype! I popped in for dinner just before closing on a Monday…read more The man behind the register was very friendly. I ordered their original cheesesteak with several toppings- jalapenos, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms. The eight inch (the smaller of the two options) was more than enough food for one. The meat is loaded on. I used a fork to eat some of it so it wouldn't fall out. They sell Coca-Cola products, including Cherry Coke. The sandwich itself was very tasty! The cheese it comes on is out of this world. Inside, there are murals, tables, and a few places to charge your phone.

I kept boasting about how good it was, so much so we drove from Chesapeake to Williamsburg JUST to eat dinner here. Is it that good? YES.. it's that good. I don't know what more to add other than the fact that if you're a Cheesesteak fan, it is mandatory to come visit here - you won't be disappointed.

Maybe it was just when I went but oh man was it absolutely ROASTING in there. Like it doesn't need to be 97 degrees inside. Turn the A/C on!! Food was okay, on par with being your average bar food. The girl serving everyone at the pool tables was hustling though. She deserves a 5 star review of her own.

Great for happy hour…read more The cocktails and bites on their happy hour menu are great. There's a wide selection and they taste good too. The fried brussel sprouts were so good I'll order them every time. They are crispy outside while being perfectly cooked inside with parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar. The margarita was smooth and not too strong, which works for the time of day. Service is pretty fast and they make sure you get what you want (salt vs no salt on your drink). The outside seating is metal but comfortable and is covered so there's shade. I ordered more food to go and it came out in a timely manner and survived the trip home.

There was plenty of seating and they also offered outdoor seating. This night they had a live band performing outside, which was pretty cool. I ordered the watermelon rite and my husband got an IPA. He ordered wings and got lemon pepper and Korean BBQ, which he really enjoyed. My daughter got an avocado burger and I ordered the cod tacos. Overall the food was pretty good. Service was good also. I dont remember our servers name, .but she was really nice and answered all of our questions. It was a cool spot to try in Williamsburg and we wouldn't mind stopping by again, if in the area.

The name doesn't give it away, but this is a really nice korean fried chicken joint that also sells…read morea selection of other korean dishes like tteokbokki, japchae, jajangmyeon and so on. Their chicken platters are either fried or tikkudak (fried then baked/grilled over charcoal) and the pieces are huge that a 10pc set of wings is easily more than enough. You get the usual sauce selections that you would find in places like CM Chicken or Bonchon (yangnyeom, snow onion, curry, soy garlic, etc). And you also get the option to choose between traditional wings, tenders, or a whole chicken for all their flavors. We highly recommend eating their chicken with a nice lager or ale. It's a refreshing pair. They will take your order if you choose to sit down, but if you're just ordering to-go they have a self-ordering station that you can fill your order in! Either way the staff is very nice and accommodating and are happy to receive questions about their dishes if you aren't familiar with the food. The inside is unique, with a cafeteria style vibe. Seating is easily available for one or more guests. Bathrooms are single stall only but are spacious and clean. Highly recommend this place! :)

I came to Williamsburg looking for a GOOD steak... and somehow ended up at a smokehouse--and I'm…read moreactually glad I did! Rocco's Smokehouse kept popping up when we searched for places to eat, so we decided to give it a shot. We weren't really in the mood for barbecue, and they only had ONE steak option, but the menu looked so interesting that we figured, why not? There was about a 15-20 minute wait, which immediately had me thinking, "Okayyy, maybe we made the right choice!" The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and had a great vibe. IMPORTANT: Navigation took us to the wrong location, so pay close attention to the Yelp directions. Rocco's is currently operating from a temporary location. Once we were seated, our waiter was right over to take our drink order. First things first--the sweet tea is MAGNIFICENT! And let me tell you what you NEED to order: Smoked barbecue wings -- MUST ORDER -- absolutely get it! Rocco actually brought it to our table and warned us that we would be hooked and he was right! I originally wanted the lump crab cakes, but I didn't see anyone else ordering them, so I took my waiter's recommendation and went with the brisket quesadillas. GREAT decision! They were juicy, flavorful, and downright scrumptious. My partner ordered Platter #3, which came with ribs, a quarter chicken, and pork barbecue. The chicken was his favorite--he could not stop talking about it! You could really taste that smoky flavor in the meat. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good too. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by Rocco's. We went in craving steak and left talking about smoked wings, chicken, brisket, and barbecue! Would I go back? Absolutely! And next time, those crab cakes are getting ordered! #WilliamsburgVA #WilliamsburgEats #VirginiaFoodie #RoccosSmokehouse #Foodie #YelpEats #BBQ #FoodReview #VirginiaRestaurants

First impression NOISY. This place is loud. High ceilings and open dining area makes the voices reverberate throughout the woke restaurant. The BBQ was ok, chicken dried out and the pork only average. Their sauce was the perfect blend of sweet with just the right about of spice. The place was clean and the service was decent. Not a bad bbq place but definitely has room for improvement.

I love Oceans & Ale, so when it came time to hold my retirement party, choosing their private event…read moreroom was an easy decision. The room is terrific--comfortable for 24-28 people, with doors that close it off from the regular restaurant so you can celebrate properly without annoying everyone else.

Everything went off even better than I expected--and I went in with pretty high expectations. I can recommend O&A without reservation for a private party or celebration.

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.
