I tried eating here about a year ago, but when me and my family stepped in to be seated. No staff was visible, aka nobody waited on us. We stood there for 5 minutes or so, finally just gave up. I did look at the menu before we left the prices were outrageous. $12.99 for Mozzarella sticks for example. read more

Breakfast was most enjoyable. The chicken fried steak was excellent! Service was very good. The dining room was festively decorated for the holidays. read more

This place was on the hotel grounds we were staying on! They were never super busy which was awesome and they had great daily deals like $5 margaritas on Thursday's! The staff was friendly (as long as you didn't come in within an hour or closing, as their frustrations were clearly visible) and the food always came out quick, hot and tasty! It had a cool vibe, not kitsch or under decorated but felt just right, like a neighborhood bar. Only draw back was how early they closed for a bar on a hotel property. Highly recommended Checking out if you're in the area. read more

The Mac and cheese was noodles with nacho cheese sauce over the top. The kids cheese pizza was Red Baron single serving pizza. It was also really slow. read more

We've been coming here for a couple of years but this has been closed because of COVID. It is back open and we have been impressed. It is nice having a place back open on the resort that we can walk to. Breakfast was made to order and perfect. We came back for dinner tonight and the food was excellent. We love Williamsburg but having somewhere close after traveling is nice. read more

Powhatan Grille - Turkey Reuben - American Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Lack luster selection of food. Service was slow and inaccurate. 2 dinners arrived 15 minutes after others were already served. No entertainment as in the past. Disappointed restaurant was closed Monday read more

The menu shown in Yelp does not reflect what is actually offered. There were only 3 entrees- chicken tenders, fish & chips, and pasta alfreddo. There were appetizers and various burgers and sandwiches. The service was slow and the food was not memorable. read more

Dirty dishes on tables all around us. The service wasn't so great. Apparently they are in transition and gave us menus that they didn't have everything on the menu. The staff was trying, but it's clear they don't have enough people working there. I hope it improves. read more

Don't eat here. We are waiting for an hour for food. There are only 3-4 tables with people. It's not that hard. This is insane.

Wonderful service! Thanks so much! Very knowledgeable and very helpful, we will be back, they also knew about the resort and all of the surrounding attractions. read more

Service is very slow. The food is decent for the price. If you are staying at the Powhatan resort and don't feel like driving out, I suppose this is an acceptable option. But be prepared to spend an extra 30 to 40 minutes just waiting. Waiting to order, waiting for the food, and waiting to close out the bill. read more

Basic menu. Basic, average food. Fulfills basic need to eat without being memorable. The staff was friendly and attentive. Open rectangular dining room, clean without much character. read more

Stopped in for breakfast during our stay in Williamsburg. Our food was great and everyone was very welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

We had dinner (take out) from here while staying on the resort. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the wings and that would be my only complaint. The wings were breaded which is totally my fault for not asking. I prefer them naked then fried and flavored. The cheesecake we had made up for it though. read more

So this has fallen off the grid since Covid and was closed for some time. Reopened last May. Wife and I ate breakfast here this morning and now dinner. Give it a chance if you haven't tried it yet. Service is friendly and it doesn't take long for the food to come out. We split the Fish and chips and turkey Rueben and both were delicious. No complaints what so ever. Support your local restaurant on the resort. read more

This place may not be as bad as some of the older reviews let on, but there is nothing special about it. Like most of the other reviews state, it is convenient if youre staying on the property, and most, if not all, of the meals are simply frozen dishes warmed up in some manner, but its not horrible. We ordered the some apps and 1/2 price beers (5-6pm happy hour), and the kids ordered a cheeseburger and hot dog. The inside is decorated nice enough, doesnt seem old or in disrepair, plus there is a bar with TVs. The 1/2 price "rail" drink we ordered (gin and tonic) didnt taste like anything like gin or tonic. This place is OK and convenient, but not great, and there are other places to go in the area. read more

Great food at a fair price, love the breakfast. The wait staff is nice and attentive and the restaurant is clean. Great visit!

Let me first just be very clear that this is not a reflection of service provided. If you do decide to eat here, you may feel inclined not to tip well because of how trash the food is- but please remember that's not your waiters fault. Tip them correctly. The food is awful. I paid $14 for a chicken club that was rubbery- the avocado was squirted out of a bottle onto a small piece of lettuce in a fashion that looked like my infant shit on my sandwich. Terribly bland and was very clearly a frozen chicken patty that was wrapped in a paper towel and warmed up in the microwave. My mom had a salad, which in itself is pretty hard to mess up because it's just fresh veggies, but for the price was underwhelming. My dad got a crab cake sandwich and I could tell just from looking at it that it wasn't fit for human consumption. So if you must eat here, maybe just stick to what tastes okay when reheated, like maybe chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Don't drop your money on the steak or anything that requires a skilled cook. read more

It's just ok. We had a certificate from the resort, which basically covered most of our meal, so we can't complain. Typical grill food. It will do in a pinch if you are hungry and don't want to leave the resort. Don't expect anything remarkable or memorable. Our server was friendly and the hostess was welcoming. read more

Food was boring. Service was not very attentive. No reason to go back. Ate here one night while staying at the resort. Asked for bar service. Bartender took several minutes to come to the bar. Then kept going to the back without asking if I needed anything. read more

We had breakfast at the Powhatan Grille. I had the country fried steak and eggs. It was delicious. We also had the biscuits and gravy with home fries. They were fantastic. Service was very attentive and the restaurant was clean. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Food was blah service was blah. Only reason we can is cause we had vouchers for $50. And for two adults and two small children our bill was $50.48. Yikes. Wayyy overpriced. When I went up front to ask the manager if he could swipe my card for the .48 he look at me and said yeah you have to pay that. Well obviously that's why I'm asking you if you can swipe my card... whatever. Still tipped 20% probably shouldn't have but know not to come back. read more

Since we had a gift certificate from the resort that covered our breakfast, I really can't complain too much about this place. However, I would have probably given the grill a 1 if our meal had not been covered. My fiance and I visited the Powhatan Resort this past weekend through a Groupon deal and we were very surprised at how nice the condos and campus were. Our last morning, we went to the grill to use our gift certificate that was part of the Groupon. Our server was nice, but either was brand new or just not a good server. I was a server for many years in college and my fiance has his degree in food service management, so we are both aware of what it takes to serve. There were not enough customers in that place for her to basically ignore us the whole time. The coffee tasted like water, the ketchup was more water than ketchup, the "home fries" were clearly just frozen potato squares with no seasoning...I couldnt even eat more than a few bites. I got the omelet with crab and tomatoes in it (can't remember the name)- the omelet was actually pretty good...not the best thing i've ever had (you could tell the crab meat was low grade)- but still good. My fiance got some sort of layered egg with sausage dish that he said was good. It took way too long for us to be greeted, then only my food came out and I guess the server forgot to enter my fiances order. His came out pretty shortly after, and she did come over and apologize but that was the last we saw of her. She never checked on us after we got our food, and we had to ask the manager to finally get our check. Overall, I don't think I would ever visit there again- even with the free certificate. read more

This is convenient as a resort guest, and the food is good. We waited awhile for our food, but hardly noticed because we were in good company. We each had very different dishes (pasta, steak, and chicken) and we all enjoy them and were unable to finish the large portions. I probably wouldn't travel in to the grille unless I was a guest here but we enjoyed it and everyone was very cordial. read more

Deeeeeeeeelish! Our group went for breakfast the weekend before Christmas--the food was excellent, the staff was friendly, helpful and attentive and the restaurant was delightfully festive for the season. I had the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon and home fries. All was perfectly cooked and seasoned! read more

Breakfast was amazing. Perfectly season home fries, nice crispy bacon, the best country fried steak I've ever had. We were a little nervous after reading some of these reviews. I'm not sure how the other meals compare to breakfast but we will definitely give them a shot. read more

This is the casual restaurant at the resort where we're staying. We hadn't had a chance to go shopping so we couldn't make our own breakfast this morning. We got a late start, so we arrived around 10:30. It was set up for a buffet, but whether it was for breakfast or lunch wasn't clear. We both ordered a crab omelet w/ green onions and tomatoes. It was accompanied by potatoes that looked as if they came from a bag, and a homemade biscuit. The biscuit was small and tasty. The omelet was good. Service was good. Alan realized after we'd left that he'd probably left his cap there and when we returned to check tonight the young woman at the front desk returned it to him w/ a big smile of evident pleasure. Nice. read more

You're better off driving 2 miles away outside the resort for food that's actually good and not overpriced for no reason. I don't think anyone gets food from here without the free vouchers. Let's just say I paid $7 for a Key Lime Pie which was actually ONE slice of the most sour and vile thing I have ever had in my life. read more

So, we are staying at the resort and had a $25 voucher. Good thing because the breakfast buffet was pretty bad. After we all tried everything on the line I asked the server, who was very nice, if any I the food was actually made fresh here. She wasn't sure but did find out for us. As we figured she said EVERYTHING on the buffet except for the french toast and pancakes, were packaged. That right folks, prepackaged scrambled eggs, home fries, grits... you get the picture. Tomorrow we will be sure to have breakfast elsewhere. read more

Food was decent, overpriced, and came out very slow. AND they were out of hamburgers that night. BTW - they don't like when you offer to go to store and buy ground beef. Everyone in the restaurant was complaining about speed of service. Food here should be cheap to keep people on property. read more

Wonderful staff, excellent atmosphere, best breakfast in town! Melissa and Kimberly not only have a great experience for breakfast but shared local information to save us time throughout our day. Would highly recommend for anyone! read more

This is dinner by CostCo. Don't get me wrong, I like CostCo but nothing served here is house made. It is obviously all bought prepared (probably frozen) and then fried, baked, etc. to serve. We only came because we had a $50 voucher from the resort, and we likely won't be back. If you just need a bite and don't mind food basically on the level of frozen pizzas, then this is fine. Just know what you're getting and set your expectations accordingly. read more

Food was similar to a frozen dinner. Nothing special. Chicken tenders were rubbery and fries were greasy. Caesar salad was not cut up well at all and small for the price. Other than convenience I wouldn't go back. read more

Chicken po boy, ouch. This shouldn't be on the menu. Theres really no hope of actually eating this as a sandwich, i just knife and forked it. Ultimately it was kids chicken fingers on a subroll with sauce. I tried something new and instantly regretted it. I swapped my side for onion rings and found them to be quite good. They seemed fresh and were done properly. read more

This review is based on breakfast only. I stayed at the resort over a weekend and decided that I would eat a breakfast at this location only because I had a coupon. This was the best breakfast that I have had in a very long time! Service was okay, but the meal was done to perfectuin. It was so tasty that you could have gave me the rudest, most disrespectful waiter/waitress and I wouldn't have cared! Hats off to the chef/cook on the morning of Saturday, October 21st 2017. I wish I had of complimented you then but I was in a hurry and had to rush out. read more

Informal atmosphere, good food, great server, enjoyed the Cabaret Divas.

We ate dinner one evening while staying at the resort. I had a hamburger, which was actually pretty tasty and cooked to the correct temperature. My companion had a taco salad, which was perfectly edible and utterly forgettable. The kids all had various items from the kids' menu, most of which were frozen reheated things like chicken fingers and pizza. The live music that night was enjoyable. Our server was very sweet and took good care of us. The menu is very limited and basically exists of very standard fare that is fine if you're just looking for a meal onsite (for example, if it's your first or last night). read more

Stopped in for breakfast, served 8 to 11 am. Had great eggs benedict. The potatoes with onions was perfect. I do not know about lunch or dinner, but would come back again for breakfast. Karina our server was wonderful, friendly, and fast. read more

costumer service is exceptional, the food is amazing !! Love !!!! Norman the server is AMAZING !!!

Eating here is not a good idea. Yes it's close but don't you want good food? Here's my experience in short. Sent my food back bc it had two things I'd asked not to have on my sandwich. It came back twice with something wrong and ice cold. For 14$ I was shocked. I told the waitress who simply did not know what to do and then said she'd already printed the ticket. Long story short I paid for the food I didn't eat and was too tried to continue to ask for assistance. While eating dinner I saw the waitress twice. I gave it two stars because my drink from the bar was ok and the waiter did change the channel on the tv so my young kids where not looking at the news. Last the restaurant smell like chlorine from the pool below. I'm sure there is nothing they can do about that; however if you are a smell sensitive person or looking for a quality dining experience this is not your place. It's more like the clubhouse lunch shack for the pool with Red Lobster prices?!? This is my first time not leaving a waitress a tip and I felt horrible ;-( But we gave her two chances to fix the situation. Won't be back and likely will not return to the resort as well. Yes, over 14$ and I'm ok with that. read more
