    Chicken n fries
    Dave F.

    Waited about 20-25 minutes to be seated..with many open tables. Wmbg has a server shortage. Ok, this is the only negative comment. First thing, the service was impeccable and Thank You Chasity! Stopped in after the "re-opening" and the renovations and extra space looked great! Started with poinsettias and deviled eggs. Deviled eggs were good, had a unique taste that we couldnt identify. Wife had the chicken n fries with a side salad and she loved it. I had the shrimp tacos and opted for the side salad and it was Amazeballs! Thank You chef. Also got to nibble on the chicken and it was fabulous!

    What a great place! I got the Butterscotch Latte and added schnapps to it. Iced. The service was attentive without being annoying. The ambience is cafe, as advertised. The brisket & sweet potato hash was wonderful. I'd go back!

    Hit it out of the ballpark again. Anyone who's in the 757 need to go to this restaurant you will not be disappointed. I give them a A+ plus again!

    We had lunch at Tipsy Beans Cafe while visiting Williamsburg and it was a great stop. When we first walked in, I assumed it was counter service like a typical coffee bar. After checking in at the bar, we were told to grab a seat and that a server would come by, which they did promptly. The menu leans heavily into brunch, with plenty of options, plus coffee made just about any way you want it. True to the name, you can also add a shot or a bit of booze to just about anything. Service was fast and friendly throughout. I ordered a breakfast benedict and a mimosa, both of which were excellent. My daughter went with pancakes and really enjoyed them as well. Overall, a great experience and an easy recommendation if you are in Williamsburg and looking for a relaxed brunch or lunch spot.

    Catfish platter $15

    4 stars because it's a cluster, no reservations, doesn't pick up the phone, the wait times are ridiculous & not enough space for parties waiting. IT'S SMALL I tried to call in my order but I got the voicemail almost every single time. Finally, after calling about 10 times I got through and placed my order. They told me the wait was going to be about 15. It was about a 10 min drive and when I got there, I still had to wait. There wasn't space for me to wait so people thought that I was waiting in line each time they walked in. It's super busy, but super small. I waited in the restaurant for my order for maybe an extra 20 mins. So, the wait time was 15 but I waited about 30 mins total. I ordered the catfish platter with fries. They definitely seasoned the catfish and fried it hard. The fries were thick cut and seasoned, but they weren't fried long enough. 3 fish platters cost $50. I would try this place again, but maybe a lot earlier in the day. Because this place is very inconvenient.

    Wow if the crowd and the wait are indications of how great the food is, then might as well give a 5 star without ordering, It also helps they were recognized for 2024 Coastal VA choice. Located in a shopping complex with just steps from the Movie Tavern. This location is accessible with ample parking. Seating is available inside, on patio and at the bar. Even for a person walk-in, the wait is more than 20 minutes at 12noon on a Saturday. You heck in and your name and number are taken so they can call you when seating is available. I finally got seated at the bar. Noticed that they not only spray/clean the counter but also the bar stool - kudos! Jessie at the bar was friendly and personable. Lots of cocktail and coffee offerings! Everyone seems to belong to a happy team, interchangeably having each other's backs from calling the waitlist, to bartending, to making coffee. I ordered the Morning After Burger. It was a toss up between that or shrimp and grits, both were marked as favorites. I was able to substitute French fries with fruits, no issue. The burger was delicious. Definitely worth the long drive from VA Beach! Oh, I ordered the tower carrot cake and it was good!

    I am so glad I went here this morning! Best breakfast, great cocktails, boozy coffee, amazing staff, interesting menu, clean and crisp dining area! I just felt like needed to lay out the highlights right away. So much of this place made me smile and happy. I got a Bloody Mary well maybe two, alright three geese. Jess my serve was on top of her game, beautiful, sweet, and foresight full. For my entree I was served crab cake egg Benedict! Sooo amazing. I did get a side of bacon but to my surprise I was so full from the eggs Benedict I couldn't finish the bacon!? I unfortunately did not try the boozy coffee but I will next time definitely. Don't miss out on this wonderful Williamsburg gem!

    Catfish & Cornbread special
    Ashley W.

    Absolutely love this cafe in Williamsburg. The food is always so good. I had the catfish & cornbread that was a special for the day. My favorite was the apple cider mimosa.

    EVERYTHING was PERFECT! SERVICE....drinks.... Food...... I waiter ( forget his name) was beyond amazing! Was our first time and he gave us the run down and checked on us as well as recommended items! Food was cooked with love and drinks were on point! Definitely will be back !!!

    When in Williamsburg you need to stop in! Nicely decorated small and cozy. They have an extensive selection of lattes and Coffees and they have a full bar with signature cocktails and shooters, snd by the way the huge list of lattes can come with liquor to give it a punch! So good! I had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. Simple but was so delicious. The bacon was the surprise. Cooked to perfection. Avocado toast has lemon juice chili flakes with 2 fried eggs amazing. My one suggestion is if you get there early it's a very popular spot as it can get very busy and now you now why.

    Crab cake burger
    Euni B.

    Deceivingly small establishment from the looks of the outside. Sat at the bar due to the wait. Too cold to sit outside. If you have a a large party this place is not ideal. Name plays off the selection of coffees and alcohol. I tried the almond joy latte which tasted just like the name but I'm not sure if I loved the coconut flakes in it. Ordered crab cake burger which was okay. Being picky ... the tomato slice was very small and thick cut. And the lettuce ... well you see the picture. My friend ordered the deviled eggs. Not impressed with that either. The filling was very runny and looked like they rushed the order. She also ordered the fresh pork rinds. Also subpar for being fresh. Some were so crunchy it was uncomfortable to chew. The staff were all VERY friendly. Possibly return for a drink but maybe not the food.

    Shrimp and grits with Andouille sausage gravy.
    Michael J.

    Stepped into this little cafe on a weekday morning and was immediately blown away by the upbeat atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. I ordered shrimp and grits for breakfast and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Grilled shrimp, a delicious Andouille sausage gravy, and perfect, creamy grits. Fair prices too!

    This place is hopping!! We stopped in to kill some time before our Neverland Escape room adventure.. We ordered the Peanut Butter Puddle, the Funky Monkey, and the White Chocolate raspberry lattes. Service was slow but friendly because it was crowded but we had some time to burn.. It was chilly inside even with my coat and sweater on. Nice place to stop by!!

We weren't sure where the restaurant was located within the building so we stopped to ask where the Terrace a room was at a hostess stand where three women were working. They all stared at us like we had dropped from the sky and then one woman gestured down the hall. Except it wasn't down the hall. We were in fact at the Terrace Room hostess stand. Sort of an odd beginning. We were seated at a two top with one chair and a couch with huge pillows scattered all over that left no room to actually sit. Had to toss them to the center of the couch to squeeze in. The menus are giant in size so it's hard to lay them down on the small table. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We started off with a bourbon cocktail that included some candied ginger and was very refreshing. The server gave us each a small cube of bread and some butter. It was sort of comical how miserly they were with the bread. The menu offerings were sort of odd but we were able to watch what other tables ordered to make our selections. The entree prices are pretty hefty. We each got a Caesar Salad to start that was good. We both settled on the brisket sandwich (a July Fourth special) and one of us got the fries and the other a side of summer veggies that was squash & zucchini. The sandwich was okay but nothing grand for $21 and the veggie side caused us to both explode with laughter at how meager it was. C'mon folks, squash is dirt cheap so load it up. Absolutely ridiculous. Their wine selections were not super familiar to us and pricey but they give you an ample pour. The Inn itself is very beautiful and the night stars shimmering on the reflecting pool out front is very romantic. I'd recommend a drink at the bar and skipping the $200 dinner for two.

It was awe inspiring to think Jefferson and Washington ate and drank here after House of Burgess meetings. We made a reservation on Open Table for an early dinner since we were traveling the next day. (No lunch reservations taken). They are set up in various rooms throughout the house and the servers and staff are dressed in colonial garb. They speak and serve in old school Fashion which is delightful. They even had a gentleman walking around playing music from the time period. I enjoyed a Rummer refreshing cocktail while hubby had an Apple Jack old Fashioned. The drinks average $15. They also have a fine assortment of wines. They brought a bread basket with super fresh bread and mini corn muffins. They also brought whipped butter, a Virginia ham spread and corn relish. All excellent! We saw peanut soup in several places and ordered it here. It was very different. Very peanutty and super filling. I ordered the crab croquettes which were flaky and delicious. The sauce had just a bit of zing and completed the flavor profile perfectly. Our server Lynette was such a sweet lady. I adored her and she even tied the giant napkins for us to prevent spills and mess. (It was super hot though and we took them off eventually) For dinner, hubby got the beef steak. It had a seasoned butter was cooked medium rare, exactly as hubby asked for. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delish. Also came with perfectly cooked stemmed carrots and string beans. It was a little pricey at $58, but you are also paying for the experience and atmosphere. I was a bit full from the bread, muffins and croquettes, but dug into my onion pye. It was served in a deep tin, covered in a flakey crust and topped with an over light egg, fun onions and scallions. It also came fresh veggies. So yummy!

There tends to be a line to get in if you don't have a reservation, but we were seated soon after we got in line around 1:45pm. Their menu is sourced from recipes from the colonial era and the staff are all dressed in the latest colonial fashion. I ordered the fish sandwich which I thought was too salty (perhaps this is period accurate) but my family really liked it. I liked the chips it was served with! I also tried the peanut soup which tasted like drinking peanut butter and I'm not sure if that's for me, but my brother loved it. I had a bit of the beef hash which was pretty tasty! I also had the chocolate tart which was very chocolatey. For a drink we had the non alcoholic orange ginger peach bowl, which served our family of 5 just fine for $16. There was entertainment during our meal, a woman came around and sang a colonial song before taking out a recorder and playing a dancing song. This was fun! Our waitress rubbed us the wrong way. She repeated our order several times to us because she was not writing it down. I was not confident we would get the right food. When we tried to add other things she made us wait since she was busy committing everything to memory. She seemed annoyed when we put in other orders for food, but she did bring us an extra peanut soup "in case" we wanted another one, since we had put in an order for a soup after we initially ordered. She did not really seem keen on serving us. The service was slow, too. At the end of the meal, she put something of ours on another table's check, then took our check back to add what she missed. There was also a bowl of soup on our check that we did not order and the card was charged twice, plus another $18 charge. Not sure what ye olde POS system they're using back there...
