Best Authentic Restaurants in Colonial Williamsburg

The Groaning Board dinner was an incredible meal and value in historical Williamsburg. We were fortunate to find a reservation, and the potion was generous and hot and delicious definitely will return!

When you visit colonial Williamsburg find a way to get to the Gabriel Archer Tavern. Everything was exceptional and we had an experience to remember.

As usual, tonight was a wonderful dining experience. The holiday decorations, the warmth of the fireplace, and the delicious food who could ask for more! But of course, you add our server, Gail, and you have a perfect night.

The waitstaff is wonderful. Charming and well trained. We were not rushed at all and could savor the entire experience. Well worth the money!
