 Food at Chowning's Tavern by deecat Chowning's Tavern is located east of the Courthouse. It was completed in 1766 and Josiah Chowning advertised, when he opened his tavern, "where all who please to favour me with their custom may depend on the best of entertainment for themselves, servants, and horses, and good pasturage." Today Chowning's Tavern has been rebuilt, and it resembles an 18th-century alehouse. This tavern serves such specialties as Brunswick stew, Welsh rabbit, oysters, clams, hearty sandwiches, and "Chowning's good Bread". It's furniture is sturdy, country-made chairs and tables, but it is still comfortable and cozy. It's really neat that colonial games (Gambols), music, entertainment, and light food and drink occur every evening. Also, during nice weather, guests can request being served in the garden behind the tavern with its grape arbor.
Allan really enjoyed the oysters and clams. I loved the "Chowning's good Bread". The atmosphere is delightfully comforting. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: East of the Courthouse

 Christiana Campbell's Tavern by deecat Seems as though we ate in restaurants that are labeled as "Taverns"; however, they did not seem to be typical taverns.l King's Arms Tavern A select group used to patronize King's Arms Tavern. George Washington was one who ate/drank here. Today, they serve traditional southern dishes such as Virginia Ham, fried chicken, peanut soup and game pie.We were quite pleased with our meal. Shield's Tavern On the other hand, the lower and middle class frequented Shield's Tavern during the mid 1800s. It's located on Duke of Glocester Street. Today, they serve crayfish soup, spit-roasted meats, and a sampler of 1740s food. We also enjoyed this Tavern very much. Christiana Campbell's Tavern specializes in seafood from Chesapeak Bay plus Southern fried chicken, Virginia ham, and spoon bread. Allan loves seafood, so he was "in heaven" here. I certainly enjoyed the meal also. Located on Waller & Francis Back Streets
We enjoyed Virginia Ham, Crayfish soup, spoon bread, and the seafood. Probably we had the most interest in and fun with the 1740s sampler. Leave a Comment

by Yaqui This is a wonderful little restaurant and with some really good food. I was happy to find it right outside getting back from walking so much I was really tired and hungry. I asked the folks inside the visitor center where I could find a nice sit down place close by. They were so happy to point me to this place, which was right outside to the left down the walkway from the center. Yay, it was appreciated to have it right close by.
Had a very nice garden salad and hamburger. Very good eating indeed! Leave a Comment Theme: AmericanPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Just down the walkway from the Visitor CenterPhone: (757) 229-2141Directions: Off of U.S. Route 20

 Vintage Valentine Card From My Collection by VeronicaG This is one of our favorite colonial era restaurants in historic Williamsburg. It is an 18th century tavern specializing in seafood. The staff is costumed and ready to please! Musicians stroll by your table playing tunes from the 1700's. The meals are wonderful! Be sure to make a reservation because all of the historic restaurants will fill up quickly. Hours are 11:30 am-2:30 pm for lunch and 5 pm-9 pm for dinner. The restaurant is closed after the summer season. We always dine here in the evenings by candlelight.

Most people from out of town visit Williamsburg via Interstate 64, but they often miss the treasures on the back roads. Hog Wild in nearby Toano is one of them. It is not an old established favourite- it opened in 2005. Many of the previous occupants of this location were bars or roadhouses. One of Hog Wild's predecessors boldly admitted to serving moonshine. Locals were relieved when the owner took out the bar and put in a family-style restaurant. Outside, Hog Wild has the feel of a roadhouse and you can smell the smoked meat from the parking lot. Never call it a "barbecue joint". Hog Wild offers a lot of seafood and Creole items. The owners consider it more of a smokehouse. Everything there is homemade including five barbecue sauces served in boxes intended for beer bottles. They offer a North Carolina style vinegar based sauce, a South Carolina style mustard based sauce, a St. Louis style sweet and spicy sauce, a New Orleans style tomato based sauce, and a Tabasco based extremely hot sauce called Cajun voodoo. The decor on the inside is a little mundane and drab, but the smoky aromas outside the restaurant and in provide all the atmosphere I need.
I had the chicken dinner which consists of a half chicken with a mildly spicy dry rub. All entrees come with cheesy cornbread and either a salad and one side dish or two side dishes. I had the barbecue beans and the collard greens. The chicken was outstanding, the cornbread was better than most, the beans were a little too sweet (a bit more dry mustard would balance it out), and the collard greens were served as whole leaves, but were great just the same. en español, em português Leave a Comment Theme: BarbecuePrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 8864 Richmond Road West, Toano, VA 23168Phone: (757) 741-2515Directions: From Williamsburg: West on Rt. 60, 2 miles (3 km.) past Toano Middle School to Anderson's Corner, left on Rt. 60 West toward Providence Forge, 1.5 miles (2.5 km.) on right side.Website: www.hogwildsmokehouse.com

I always seem to find an Applebees whenever we have been to the states. They are known as 'neighbourhood' restaurants. The decor wherever you go is always the same. The staff are usually really nice, the place is clean and the food good. I like their cocktails as well. But a little on the pricey side.
I had a pasta meal which was lovely. My husband had steak and the boys as usual had burgers. I never eat a sweet but they had different things and all enjoyed them Leave a Comment

We visited Denny's twice whilst in Williamsburg, once just myself and my husband, while the boys were at Busch Gardens. We had brunch, and then once altogether for breakfast on the morning we were leaving. Exceptionally busy that morning as it was a Sunday and also a holiday, Labour Day weekend. But the staff were really good, quick, thorough and very polite. I have always been pleased with Denny's.
I had a breakfast meal, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns (I love hash browns from Denny's, we dont really get them in the UK) toast, etc. My husband had museli (or rabbit food as I would call it - lol) Food always hot, and service always good. Leave a Comment

We went into this restaurant one evening, lovely white table clothes, glasses on the tables sparkling, waiters all dressed nice. But what a let down. We ordered our meals, 4 in all, our sons friends meal arrived. He sat waiting to start thinking as we did that our would follow. But no we waited and waited, in the end calling the waiter over, he apologised and rush off. We told Gareth to eat his but he wanted to eat his meal with us. The waiter eventually returned and our 3 meals had been 'forgotten', they apologised profusely, and we did after a wait get them COLD!!!!!!!!! My husband asked for them to be heated. This took a while, and mine was still cold and dried up when it returned. Consequently I never ate my meal. It was reduced from the bill.........I suppose thats the least they could do. Never been in one of these restaurants before and would certainly never entertain one again.

Never heard of this chain before. It was the Saturday evening of the Labour Day weekend, and the heavens had opened, rain virtually flooding the street/car park. Had quite a wait as you would expect on the holiday weekend. Service and staff were excellent.
I had a chicken meal and it was lovely, but far too much on my plate. My husband also had a chicken meal and the boys I think had burgers. I would definitely eat at a Friendlys again if I was in the states and saw them. Leave a Comment

by bugalugs We did not have time to stop for a meal but we did pop into Chowning's or should I say we decided to sit outside to the rear in the shade and enjoy an ice cold drink. Sandwiches, bbq, rolls, and other refreshments, including ice cream could be bought here. In the evening from 5-8pm there is family entertainment when there is singing and everyone can join in. Here I am looking at the map and wondering if my feet can stand anymore walking.
