Hands down one of the best experiences we've had in Williamsburg!…read more No doubt the best burgers we've ever had too! Huge, juicy, well seasoned, fresh and delicious! My husband got the Pastrami Burger, I built my own double and we shared the Farmers Fries. We won't even talk about the house Garlic Aioli, yummy! Even the pickle spear was good! Customer service was on point too! We didn't wait for anything and we were constantly asked if we needed anything from all the staff. Everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. Bonus...this spot was clean.... Like clean clean! I have a bit of OCD and everything from the booth, hanging light over the booth and even the pictures on the wall near where we were sitting was spotless. We were seriously impressed especially since this was our first time eating there. We've been in Williamsburg for nearly 2 years and we waited 2 years too long! Thank you to the entire staff for being so courteous and making our experience everything it should've been. We'll definitely return!

We were looking for somewhere to eat in Williamsburg and came across this spot. At first glance, it…read morelooks like an upscale restaurant, but it's actually casual dining and kid-friendly. 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.

We did not have a reservation, but easily found a table at the bar. The servers were personable and super helpful. We actually enjoyed sitting in the bar area watch the various trays exit the kitchen window. Mixed drinks had a fresh taste. We ordered the pimento cheese dip ( savory) and the soft" melt in your mouth "biscuits served with an array of butter/spreads. The beet salad was earthy in a good way with a great mix of beets, nuts, brie cheese,and fresh greens. The smoked chicken was not dry with a smoked flavor . The creamy greens had an excellent texture . I actually ate all of the grits ( I am usually not a fan of grits). They had a mashed potato taste/texture and were amazing!

Me and my "Usual Suspects" made our way out to The Hound's Tale, and it didn't disappoint. The space hits you right away... cozy without trying too hard. Eclectic art, warm finishes, and a staff that knows how to read the room and keep things moving without hovering. Comfortable. Intentional. Dialed in. Now... it just so happened to be everyone's "cheat day," so discipline never stood a chance. Within minutes, the table looked like a comfort food summit... bacon cheeseburgers, loaded hot dogs, fries doing what fries do, and of course... the gratuitous side salad to keep things respectable. Bottom line: solid pick for a laid-back night with friends. Good energy, satisfying food, no pressure. Recommendation level: Go enjoy!

Watched an episode of JOLLY on YouTube where Josh and Olly went to a Freddy's and it looked pretty…read morecool. Low and behold there is a Freddy's in Williamsburg, so we decided to take a little "part-of-the-day trip" to chrck it out. Upon entry, everyone working there greeted us and were super friendly. It was pretty busy in there, and i found the tables and chairs to be super close together and i felt a little claustrophobic. Maybe it was the abundance of the color red. The lady who took our order at the counter was very patient while we figured out the menu, which is mostly smash burgers in a variety of iterations, along with a variety of sides. I ordered a "single cheeseburger " with a side of shoestring fries. The cheeseburger is actually a smashburger that is practically a paper-thin "burger". It was very bland, to be honest. Their burgers, unless otherwise specified, come with pickles, mustard, and onions. The shoestring fries were awesome. Simple, not greasy. My husband got 2 Steakburger Tacos, which he said were "just okay". He also got a side of tots, which he found to be overly greasy. We couldn't leave without trying some of Freddy's Frozen custard. I had a small cone of vanilla, which if blind-taste-tested against McDonald's soft serve, i wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Which is fine. We also got a chocolate malt shake, which was super good. Was it worth the drive? Meeeeehhh. The best things were the shoestring fries and the milkshake. Oh, they also serve Pepsi products. This is the first time that I have ever seen Pepsi Zero in a soda machine at a fast food restaurant. That was pretty cool. It's the little things. Would we go again? Unless there was a much closer location in RVA, probably not.

The Fat Canary remains our number one choice for a fine dining experience in Williamsburg…read more The food, service, and ambiance are all excellent. During our most recent meal, we enjoyed the blood orange martinis, the ham and mozzarella appetizer, short ribs, fish special, and crepes dessert, plus a bottle of pinot noir. The restaurant bills a 3.5% surcharge to support the kitchen staff. I would much rather see that incorporated into the menu prices. I don't understand why it's separate. I understand providing a competitive edge to staff, just build it into the prices.

I don't know what the difference is between this Rick's and the other ones, but this one feels the most authentic and just what a cheese steak should be. The seasoning is simple, nothing overpowering. The bread could use more toasting, but it compliments the meat seasoning very well. When it comes to Cheese Steaks, it doesn't get more authentic and true to taste than this. I like the fact that they also have some great chicken cheese steaks (the fam isn't a fan of straight steak) with the same level of attention to detail as the original. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. it's a big, big, win. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: The inside is very simple.
