This is where we had our tenth anniversary dinner and yes it was worthy of that honor! I'm not really sure why a kettle corn stand is ranked higher than a historical site with fine dining, but I'm going to do my best to remedy that issue. First, the parking was very easy, right behind the tavern. Second, they welcome... More

Been there twice - in 2003 and 1998 and it was much better then. Our food was so-so and the rolls were cold and dry. I would try other taverns.

Very touristy and over priced. I ordered a mint julep and it was completely watered down. Food was merely ok. Only the home made ice cream was good.

We so enjoyed our dinner here. I had the seafood dish (with pasta) and my husband had the pork shoat, I think it was called. We also had a dessert but we simply can't remember what it was! We both know it was delicious though. We ate upstairs and it was lovely. It was early so we didn't get to... More

Seafood is their specialty. Average is the quality. Go for the show, the entertainment, and the atmosphere. I love Williamsburg as a whole but, I think the food quality has slipped in recent years. The service and the entertainment is very good.

Excellent food, atmosphere, service, and entertainment! Can't even think of anything more to say. No words to describe this fantastic experience. The sweet potato muffins-to die for:)

Wife and I dined here due to enthusiastic suggestions we had received before traveling, and we were not disappointed. The food was first rate -- easily one of the two best meals on this trip. The service was well-informed and very responsive, somewhat difficult, I think, when you consider how busy the restaurant was as well as the need for... More

CC's has always been and continues to be my favorite tavern. We dined here twice during our week's visit. They have great seafood and a vegetarian entree among their choices. I had the vegetarian dish on both visits. The service is always great. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the main reason we go here to eat... More

Christiana Campbells Tavern is more show than restaurant, an excellent show. We have been there 6-8 times and we will return, but not for the food. The food is fine, filling, somewhat interesting, but no better than that. The service and the colonial show and entertainment are thoroughly enjoyable. Our bill before tax and alcohol ran about $70, and it... More

Prices here are extreme for the quality of the food. You could do as well at Cracker Barrel for a lot less. A few of the seafood dishes are nopt bad, but most are the same as you would receive at a chain restaurant. Portions are just too big. The average traveller has no desire to take any away with...
