AMAZING pot roast , meatloaf , and zucchini , and mashed potatoes . Great service and very accommodating. The owner even stopped by our table to check on things. We give it give stars all the way around!

Matt

Really liked the light as a feather, very tasty. The fried ravioli was probably my favorite though but the rolls were delicious too. It was fun doing some of the questions while we ate.

Aly V

The Jamaican Jerk Chicken is awesome and the salsa tastes fresh! The sweet potato cornbread may take some time to come out (because it's popular) but it's well worth the wait.

Jessica Register

Delicious food & friendly staff ! Had the portobello mushroom sandwich w/ sweet potato fries & my husband had the meatloaf sandwich w/ skinny fries . Call ahead & it cuts down wait time!

Connor Felty

Had the Pot Roast Dinner Portion and it was filling—the rest of my party had Filet Mignon and the Sunday special Turkey Dinner and loved that as well ! The messaging is awesome in our divided age too!

William Joyner

The lunch special of fried shrimp , fries , & cole slaw hit the spot simply prepared an exactly what I wanted. Also had Sunday morn breakfast co fried sirloin Benedict !excellent !

David Burke

Shrimp boat app was great. And the entrees did not disappoint either. The pot roast was melt in your mouth, my wife's steak was perfect. The sides were not treated as just sides, great food.

Lawrence Calablaster

I came here long ago. The children's pasta is great for a kid's menu. The atmosphere is the real treat. My nerdy self especially appreciated the mural of The School of Athens. Wonderful theme.

John Ciesla

Best restaurant in Williamsburg. The food and service are excellent and a nice selection of refreshments. Have been there multiple times over the years. Highly recommend eating there!

James C

The food was great and the service was outstanding. Very attentive and knew the menu so well in order to suggest things. Loved the trivia cards on the table to spark conversation. Great concept.

Molly Cushing

Gluten free , vegetarian , and vegan options are solid. There should be something good for everyone. Friendly and attentive staff . Give the beer flight a try.

Kimm Rountree

The staff is excellent and food was delicious!! Really cute place with lots of various seating areas. The manager even stopped by later into our dinner and checked on things and really listened!!

Jenny

If you're vegan get the quinoa burger with the flat bread and you're good to go (it's really delicious too)! And the service here is fantastic! Great place! Highly recommended!

Michael Huber

Good restaurant . Being GF for as long as I have, being able to enjoy bread before a meal in a restaurant is a rare opportunity. The short ribs and pad Thai were tasty.

Sue Lemm

Ahi starter was delicious! Their balsamic dressing on any salad is terrific and the grilled cheese selection for lunch - so varied & so good. Everything tastes "clean ." Service (Denise) was top-notch!

Diane Moore

Excellent bacon wrapped scallops - extremely fresh. The apple nachos were a great dessert . Service quick and attentive. Glad we got there a bit early to beat the crowd.

Michael Fuss

As an out of town Philadelphian, you could do a lot worse than Food For Thought. The food was very tasty, the atmosphere was excellent, with some very cool decor and the wait staff was excellent!

Duane Figurski

Had the Down South of the dinner menu very good I wasn’t to sure about the grits never really enjoyed grits but these were great. Also Andre and Alex were very cordial

Michael Rhodes

Weekend brunch is an absolute must. Don't miss the Eggs Benedict.

Isaac Artis

The fall off the bone ribs were awesome. The literally fell off the bone. You also have to try the sweet potato mash . I will be back.

Michelle Mean

Shrimp& grits at a medium heat are simply delicious!! Grits are creamy & everything is perfect! Started off w/crab chowder which was also ???? I will come back!

Kaitlynn Jones

They have boulevard on tap ! The atmosphere and concept/theme is really cool. Pot roast was to die for and the cilantro chicken was very yummy too!

John Gonzalez

If your not sure is you want steak or seafood , try "The Best of Both World's" ask them to upgrade you rcrabcake to a "Crab-a-bella", you will not be disappointed.

Noel Latham

Try everything! Something for everyone on this menu. Very strong vegan menu selections!

Great food, quick and quality service. Great from appetizer (bread ) - side dishes - main entrée

Jeff

The best service I've ever had in a restaurant (including 5 star). Food was great. Highly recommend the humus and the shrimp and grits . Ask for Kristin. She's an amazing waitress .

Sophia Liu

Awesome customer service; great for families! I like the entertaining table brain teasers they have for you. If you have a sweet tooth, get the creme brûlée .

Eric Olson

Highly recommend! Great service and accommodated all the dietary restrictions in our party. Gluten free , dairy free and vegetarian . Oh, and I had a great steak .

Patricia Bradby

Get the Portobello stack. So good. The cheesy grits side is also yummy. You would be silly not to eat the parmesan rolls in the bread basket . They're the best part.

Joelle C

Sausage gravy and grit cakes are amazing. First time here and won't be the last.

Gary Barrett

The best Shrimp and Grits for hundreds of miles. Tastes like Savannah!

Great, mostly what I would consider "comfort food ." Meatloaf , pot roast , etc. Once I had soft-shell crab there, and it was very good.

A MUST DO! The service and food were both spectacular!! Popular place so make sure to make a reservation !

The food here is outstanding. All of it. I had the pad Thai and it was amazing. I mixed the chicken and shrimp .

Fast service . Brioche burger was good. Wife loved the pot roast . We'll definitely come back if we're in town again.

My sirloin was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and my husband's ribs were literally falling off the bone.
