Chowning's Tavern - Williamsburg

The tavern has a nostalgic charm reminiscent of Colonial Times. The staff is dressed in period clothing and the food is delicious. The service is excellent as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in experiencing authentic Colonial cuisine.

Despite the negative changes made by the Williamsburg Foundation in the past year, it was a pleasant surprise to find that the food and hospitality at Chowning's is still top-notch. Our server, Mark, was exceptional with his sense of humor and fantastic service. We enjoyed crab cakes, wings, pulled pork, and shepherd's pie, all of which were delicious. We will definitely be returning and requesting Mark as our server again.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere.i had BBQ Ribs, Chips and Dip and Trio sampling of Soups. Well worth the money!

The food an atmosphere were perfection! Our meals and drinks were delicious and our waitress was extremely pleasant. I visit the Revolutionary City frequently and this is always my favorite place to eat! We were sat upstairs this time, but we could hear live music and singing from downstairs, which also added to the colonial experience in tying all of the senses together.

We dined at this restaurant three nights in a row! The hot spiced wine, hot buttered rum, and house-made chips and dips were all wonderful. The corn chowder and Welsh rarebit were amazing! This tavern is definitely a place we will return to.
