    Entree salad
    Michael S.

    Decent hand formed burger and really generous entree salad for my dining partner. This is a decent place to stop in for a quick meal when in the area and I am sure it gets its share of the college crowd and their families. Generous portion of fries too, and they came out hot. Counter ordering and pick up, self-serve sodas in the dining area. Not overly memorable but it was a decent late lunch.

    Shake

    We normally research where we are going to eat. This time, we decided to stop at this cute shop when we were out for a walk. Unfortunately, we wish we had done our homework. Although the food came out fast, the burgers tasted so bland. Honestly, the patties tasted like the frozen kind you buy at the store. I am giving it two stars because they had fast customer service, the fries were decent, and the shake was good... but is that worth a 46 dollar bill?

    Crab Cake Sandwich & Fries
    Jared M.

    Highlights: Crab Cakes (hardly any fillers - remoulade had great flavor and zing), fries were fantastic, yummy milkshake, *incredibly friendly* staff. Comments: Burger was disappointing, brioche buns were a bit too oversized oversized compared to the rest of the sandwiches, a bit on the greasy side (no complaints, just be aware).

    Could easily have left off the bun!

    Ordered a burger with no bun due to gluten sensitivity. The gruff man taking my order told me I had to have the bun. Then he asked the cook who said that if I didn't have a serious allergy then I could not order the burger without a bun. I assumed they just cook the burger on the flattop and can't do it without the bread. Burger comes out, nope, just a regular burger on a regular bun. No reason not to let me skip the bun- They are just jerks.

    Food was better than top notch restaurants and everyone was so nice and friendly. It was clean and kept up !

    The guy taking the orders is...not a nice guy and kind of curt. Asked for an extra slice of cheese, paid the up charge, burger (frozen, mediocre) came with just Swiss. I went back, said we paid for a second slice, he argues tells me Swiss only. He did eventually give the extra slice of cheese, I apologized for the confusion. Went back in for a Milkshake, they are priced at $6.25 he charged me $7, 12% sales tax? Maybe. I asked him for a cup for water, (this is after buying 4 meals, 4 bottles of water, and a milkshake (~$66) and he curtly refused saying "bottled water only". Watched him argue with another guy that ordered a sandwich and got a wrap instead. The other guy got tired of arguing with him and walked away. This guy has no idea what customer service is or the value of repeat business. Should have went to the other burger place and I will next time. He earned this review.

    Solid lunch place - I stumbled in here due to time constraints that kept me from hitting up the bistro across the street. For a quick, decent meal, this place does the job. The menu is simple, it's a place full of burgers, hot dogs and milkshake options. I got a simple bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger itself was very very good. Well made, not greasy and tasty. The fries were also stellar. Maybe not everyone loves these kinds of fries, but I thought they were pretty tasty and not greasy at all. The line here was pretty long during lunchtime. There isn't a ton of seating here inside but this isn't the kind of meal you need to linger for. Plus there's ample outdoor seating which is helpful. This place is also situated in a good area close to the shopping/colonial Williamsburg area. Generally speaking, if you want a quick place to grab a bite that's decent, this isn't a bad choice.

    Retro's good eats is a nice little food diner. People at register are nice and friendly. We ate outside because we brought our dog. They came out and filled the dog water when I mentioned it was empty. I had the chicken quesadilla it had enough of the chicken cheese and peppers and onions it was enough to fill me for dinner. The quesadilla was cooked perfectly

    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.

Me n my buddy did a whirl of cheesesteak places in the Hampton Roads area. I knew about this place because of our adventures in Williamsburg. 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. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Very small place that doesn't have a lot of decor but that's ok.. the food rocks Repeat customer: yeah Dog Friendly: outdoor seating

Nothing wrong with this little grab-and-go carry out shop but at the same time, I wouldn't call it anything ahhhhmazzzzinggggg that would warrant more than just an average 3 star rating. Better than and more options than a hotel lobby self serve "mini mart." They serve self serve coffee (Members, don't forget to ask for your complimentary daily coffee tickets upon check-in!) but this place also has a barista for hot or iced lattes. Decent lattes, thankfully made with espresso shots not watered down or weak & wimpy. On par with what you would get at Starbucks. The latte menu is NOT extensive so don't expect a long latte/coffee drink menu like at Starbucks. I posted a pic of the latte/tea/juice/bfast sando menu with prices so have a look. Staff is SUPER NICE but both times I was there getting a hot latte, there was ONE WORKER each time running cash AND barista-ing. Not many more can fit behind that tiny ordering counter frankly. Thus - if you see any kind of long line, BE PREPARED TO WAIT. Or come back during non-rush hours. (Remember this is a conference center so it is highly likely conference attendees will be lining up to order before the start of the conference day and in between sessions throughout the day!) I read on their website that all their baked goods and pastries as well as sandwiches, salads etc are freshly house made there on prem so that's nice. Prices are not break the bank (for a hotel). My small hot vanilla latte was $7. Like I said - as a hotel lobby grab-and-go so you don't have to walk far or drive to get your latte-fix on, The Cupboard is right-there-convenient and will absolutely do just fine. If you DO feel like going off the property to go to an indie coffee shop, I drove to and tried the relatively new Grit Coffee in Midtown for the first time - pretty good (read my review and see my pics): Or go to the ever-famous Aromas in CW near the William&Mary campus, an OG legend which imo is overhyped but still a good option - parking can be a pain, frankly better to walk there from the hotel (it's prob a 20 min walk to Aromas but you walk straight down beautiful CW - on a nice day, can't beat that.).

    This was quite possibly the worst pizza I have ever ordered…read more The crust was thin, soggy, and completely lifeless. The cheese was essentially flavorless. But those were somehow not even the worst parts. Let's talk about the garlic. They used jarlic. Not fresh garlic. Jarlic. The wet, pre-minced stuff sitting in a jar of acid and preservatives. And you could absolutely taste it. It tasted less like garlic and more like someone poured citric acid over the pizza. That sour, metallic, preserved-garlic taste was everywhere. If your kitchen can make pizza but cannot be bothered to chop a clove of garlic, that tells me pretty much everything I need to know about the food. And then there was the spinach. I paid EXTRA for spinach. They put ONE piece of spinach on each slice. Literally. One. I actually had to look at the pizza for a moment because I couldn't believe someone had intentionally prepared it that way and then sent it out the door. One lonely piece of spinach per slice isn't a topping. It's evidence that spinach was once in the building. Charging extra for that is absurd. So, to recap: soggy crust, tasteless cheese, garlic from a jar that tasted like citric acid, and a paid spinach topping rationed out one leaf at a time. This wasn't mediocre pizza. Mediocre would have been an improvement. This was remarkably bad. The person who took my order was pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. That is the entirety of the positive feedback I have. I would not order this again if it were free. Never again
