This place seems to be almost a staple of our visits to Williamsburg!…read more The food here is just very delicious overall. We have yet to come here and not be satisfied or happy to have visited. This is another one of those Williamsburg gems that is totally worth visiting if you're a BBQ type person. The prices are reasonable-ish for the food type and service has always been outstanding for us. Between the decent beer selection, craft drinks and great bbq, this is another (one of the many) food places that are a must-visit to Williamsburg! Regarding parking, make sure you park in the back area. GPS always seems to want to put you in the front where there isn't a lot of parking available.

That's about $15-20 a day at nearly $600 a month of revenue any smart business person would appreciate, especially in the off-season. But I guess I'll never come back here again. I'll just continue going to fresh market and Harris Teeter. They are limited on their salad bar and hot bar but at least I won't get a disgusting attitude from a miserable looking cook. You're not the only one working bro all of us are working. I came in at 7:30 no big deal. I stood there. People were staring at me until finally the guy came over with a negative attitude like I'm bothering him and gave me a disguesting attitude and look. He said we're not open and I said it says seven on the door and he looked at me like I was stupid and treated me like I was equally stupid and said that's Friday and Saturday all right well I'll never come here again. How about that? Sorry I bothered you. Maybe you should lock your doors until you're open how about that? I am so sorry. I work hard and anticipated to spend my money here. I'll take it somewhere else. Out of every single restaurant in business that I deliver for in this area and I deliver for every single one of them 60% of the staff has this attitude just like a FU get out of my face don't bother me attitude probably the same people that wanna raise and make more money, but you scare customers and money away yeah that makes a lot of sense geniuses for sure.

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 night in Williamsburg we were tired from the drive and just wanted something quick and easy…read more Rocco's caught our eye, and let's be honest... who doesn't love some bbq? 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.

It has a pretty unique selection of dishes not commonly offered in most Chinese takeout places. I consider their offerings more authentic. The serving sizes are huge and can be eaten family style with friends and family! There is a distinct aftertaste that is similar across the dishes we ordered. I'm assuming it's from the oil or base they use in their dishes. But it's not enough to deter me from trying their other food items! Will definitely be coming back! :)

Peter Chang (Williamsburg)…read more GOOD: mixed meat Mei fun was excellent. Service was good and friendly. Prices are reasonable (but*) BAD: The pork fried dumplings needed a longer fry. They only appeared to touch the frying pan for barely a minute. They had a steamed, flimsy texture, and I was going for that nice crust, which separates a pan-fried dumpling from a steamed dumpling. My server was very good but the kitchen was very slow tonight, it took almost another twenty-five minutes to get the entree out after the appetizer, and the restaurant was only moderately busy at best. The table next to me also had to wait for every course. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. Even the dumplings that were under fried had good flavor. *Please be aware, which came as a shock to me, that the restaurants on that particular street are subject to a 12%to 13% percent sales tax, which was really off putting. I would still go back to Peter Chang's but probably another location because of the tax and the slow kitchen.

3.5 stars for Lodge Restaurant, the restaurant at Williamsburg Lodge…read more It's actually 3.5 stars for the Friday seafood buffet dinner. It was good. It wasn't the best, or most inventive, seafood I've had. Considering this is Williamsburg (a destination not known for its marine cuisine), the Lodge Restaurant does a pretty nice job. It's pricey, however. I believe it was around $35 per person -- add in the requisite alcoholic libations, and you're dropping a pretty penny in this joint. The food abooooounds here, which is nice. There's a huge variety of hot and cold items to choose from. There are nicely prepared salads, and a decent crab bisque to start you off. There are king crab legs, peel-and-eat shrimp, and oysters on ice. There's lemon tilapia, dill salmon, mussels, and fried cod in the warmers. I thought the crab legs were really good, and the peel-and-eat shrimp were lovely: firm, and plump, and juicy. Aside from the seafood, there's a selection of fruits and cheeses, salads, side vegetables, a bread station, and a smorgasboard of tempting desserts. There's also a sushi station staffed by sushi chefs, but I found the sushi pretty typical and uncreative, and the rice was hard-ish like the sushi you get out the refrigerated section in Giant. Not to mention the wasabi was graying, which is never appealing. The ambiance at the Lodge Restaurant is a bit formal and classy -- still, this is a resort town, so you don't need your finery. They say the dress is casual, but I definitely wouldn't want to show up in my Disneyworld tee and torn jeans...lord knows some fools certainly do, tho. The dining room is nice, quiet, and upscale. The service is professional, if cold. I found our "server" (cuz on buffet night he didn't have to do much but uncork our wine and keep it coming) a bit aloof, but maybe they're trained that way to be in-keeping with the more formal atmosphere. Still, it probably wouldn't have killed him instantly to smile or exude some warmth. All-in-all it was a pleasant experience. I wouldn't be adverse to coming back for the buffet, or maybe stopping by for brunch.

Well today was our second visit, with the first time being about 8 months ago…read more Frankly, I could cut and paste my last review for today. It was absolutely just a good as it was 8 months ago. Our server and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. I'm sure our water and sweet tea glasses were filled 2 or 3 times without asking. The food: well we like what we had before so much the wifey and I had same things. Her, the Saag with Chicken and me, the Shrimp & Chicken Zafrani. Both tasted great. The only thing is for me - I do wish my meal had maybe 1 more shrimp and 1 more chicken piece. Now this was the lunch meals, so maybe the dinner meal has a bit more. But still for $20 it was a nice meal. As for the location: Still after 8 months, looks great, well kept and clean. I will be back again and recommend you give this place a chance.

This…read morerestaurant was executing at a very high level and it seemed like every dish was prepared with care and thought. The service was friendly and very informative, which was nice as we made decisions. The ambience was also excellent; we sat outside, but would've been happy to sit inside in the lively dining room. The standout dish of the meal was the baked Chincoteague clams. These were flavored with Thai green curry and were excellent bites. The smoked pork taco was also very much a stand out, the smoked flavors contrasted well with the freshness and it relief belt as if this taco provided bang for buck. The other dishes were well executed. A crab gazpacho with grape and other aromatic flavors as the base was well done but there was not much crab and so did not feel as if it was a particularly worthwhile dish to get. The grape flavor was also somewhat too prominent for my liking, but the dish was refreshing and light as promised. The brussels sprouts were solid but not particularly memorable. The oyster taco was slightly overburdened by slaw and proved somewhat more tangy than what was called. I would definitely come back for the clams and the smoked pork taco and would be interested to taste the raw preparations as well as the fried chicken taco next time.

Chowning's Tavern…read more This family-friendly tavern offers lunch and dinner; of course Colonial Williamsburg is family friendly and we recommend Chowning's Tavern for families. We have taken care to frequent Colonial Williamsburg for decades; Probably the Christmas season is our favorite, and the long hot humid summer is the season we avoid. Any frequent visitor to Greater Williamsburg is in for a culinary treat; we focused our first few years on Colonial Williamsburg dining, and we still recommend the historical taverns. Dining in the 18th Century setting is provided at the following: * Christiana Campbell's Tavern® * Chowning's Tavern® * King's Arms Tavern® * Shields Tavern® Over the years Chowning's Tavern has evolved to "please families" with a fast food backyard grill. Limited menu and service hear. Caveat: avoid the backyard if desiring an authentic Colonial Dining experience. Please read reviews prior to visiting Colonial Williamsburg. We recommend above stairs dining; servers have had some training. Great tavern ambience. Chowning's Tavern may offer the best economy dining experience. In the 1960's we "discovered" Brunswick Stew, and this is still on the menu; moreover, my wife has added this stew to her offerings in her kitchen. Take care in personal review of colonial dining. Chowning's Tavern may or may not be a best bet for romantic dining. The tariff is appropriate for the fare.

Typical Chinese take-out spot as far as menu and the actual establishment itself. Its pretty clean and for once the staff is actually really friendly! Foodwise, this place is alright. My roomie, sister and I ordered there out this weekend and thought it was so so. I ordered steamed vegetable and tofu, my sis ordered the vegetable lo mien and my roommate ordered their pork mei fun. The flavor here is way better than the last two places I tried but still not as good as what I remembered from my childhood back in OK. The steamed veggies and tofu were smothered in this clear sauce that was savory, it looked pretty gross quite honestly. The veggies were good and I'm glad they didn't use baby corn, however the tofu wasn't steamed at all but deep fried. The pork mei fun was okay according to my roommate and it actually had various veggies and eggs in it too. My sis was a fan of the veggie lo mien and I too thought it was tasty as well. Overall, this place isn't the worst but it's still missing an element flavor wise. The ladies here were very nice and the food was brought out fairly quick. Maybe I'll give it another shot. I also liked how its near the CW because you'll see people dressed up in colonial clothing ordering Chinese food, which I must say is pretty unique!
