More of an Inn
  • Tip Rating:
  • Restaurant Name:
    Chowning's


    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.

    I wouldnt bother!

  • Restaurant Name:
    Fireside Chophouse


    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.

    %CV%S5%B%M%fcDenny's:
    Cheap and Cheerful!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name:
    Denny's


    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.


    Favorite Dish:
    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.

    Very friendly

    Friendlys


    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.


    Favorite Dish:
    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.

    %CV%S5%B%M%fcApplebees:
    One of my favourites
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name:
    Applebees


    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.


    Favorite Dish:
    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
