This seems to be a small place, but it's larger once you get inside and we receipted immediately. I wanted to try the biscuits and they were perfect as were the Home fries. The fries were not a bit greasy. My husband had an enormous blueberry pancake with Virginia ham both excellent. Service is great and our waitress moved around like she owned the place. I mean that in the best way. Just outside the historic district. This is a great breakfast spot. read more

The service feels very down to earth. You choose your seating. It's very diner feel and bit on the hole in the wall. Since I didn't have breakfast I ordered my staple of biscuits and gravy. The gravy and sausage were great. The biscuits were moist and perfect. The eggs were good but I like them more runny. I would go back. read more

Five Forks Cafe - Biscuits and Gravy - Diners Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Classic family diner, favorite of locals for breakfast and lunch. For dinner try the sister restaurant Honey Butters.

I've driven by this diner /cafe and have always wanted to try it! The outside of the building is quite inviting with its colorful red, white and blue exterior! We were seated right away, and the place was busy! Our server was pretty "matter of fact" - no pleasantries or smiles! Let's get down to business and order our breakfast! Well okay! I do love diners like this one, no nonsense, 70's orange vibe, classic menu! The grits and eggs were great, my bacon didn't come out like I ordered it and our server put in for more, but it never came. They were busy, so no worries, she adjusted the bill. My favorite thing? The toasted cornbread!! Yummy! The pancakes were huge! We will be back and I have a feeling they may get an extra star next time! Breakfast served all day, closes at 2pm. read more

Breakfast was ok. Pretty standard Portions were big on a kids meal. Coffee was good. Server was just ok. Not too overly friendly. read more

This place reminds me of the local joints you would love to have in your town! Cozy and family like atmosphere filled with regulars and visitors alike! Our waitress was wonderful and we shared some laughs! I didn't get pics of the food as we were too busy chatting & catching up with fam! We ordered many dishes but the winner of the morning was def the grilled corned beef & hash!! Best I have had a long time! Crunchy and soooo perfectly cooked! I would just go and eat that with a cup of Joe! read more

Five Forks Cafe seemed like it would be a great little mom and pop greasy spoon. It was not. The positive: 1. Hot cakes 2. A perfect egg over-easy 3. A fabulous egg sandwich 4. Delicious sausage gravy The meh: 1. Service was friendly but not attentive 2. Biscuits tasted like Grands Frozen Biscuits The negative: 1. Hash-browns were not seasoned and definitely frozen because they were still cold in the center. 2. The corned beef hash was easily identified as canned by the tiny dehydrated potatoes and potted meat consistency. 3. Terrible coffee read more

Stopped in late morning wanting breakfast. 1st timer here but there seemed to be lots of regulars. Quick service and good food. I had the big breakfast. It was good read more

Decent diner food. It's an old place so don't expect nice or modern decor. We ordered the $12 reuben sandwich comes with crinkle fries, $8 bacon egg breakfast sandwich (they are charging .50 cents extra per egg! and this sandwich has 1 very thin egg), $6 onion rings, $3 coffee. Everything tasted pretty good but the reuben didn't have much meat. The bill came to $32. read more

Great breakfast variety which is my preference with plenty of food. Also sandwiches to burgers with a fairly diverse options. Today had the French toast combo with eggs and choice of bacon, ham or sausage. French toast were light and the taste was excellent. Wife had eggs over easy combo which were delicious. Quick service and always staffed well. We come back often. read more

My son and I come here a lot for breakfast, they have his favorite pancakes in Williamsburg. We come here wanting and expecting an old diner experience, and that is what we get. It's somewhere we can stop at before school as we have been in and out in under 25 minutes before. Not coming here to be catered too, just to get breakfast in a cute diner. read more

What a cute diner in Williamsburg! Yes, you read that right, I said diner not cafe! When I first mentioned to my husband I wanted to try out Five Forks Cafe for breakfast he initially was hesitant as thinking it would be a fru-fru place being some high end cafe: I assured him that reading through the reviews the food was good and it was more like a diner then an upscale cafe. When you walk in you can see right back into the kitchen and the cooks were right there on the grill making the food. The place looks like your typical old-school diner you would find where you can sit at the counter and see your food being prepared. We were sat right away and had a very pleasant waitress who was as sweet as could be. We ordered the following food to try: Corn Cakes with honey butter: loved these! I didn't even use syrup just some of the honey butter. Great flavor. Sausage Gravy over biscuits: also good flavor. Nice spice. Pancake: We like them more fluffy but it was still good. Eggs, bacon and hash browns either came with our meals or were ordered as sides and they were all cooked well and yummy! They had a cinnamon roll as a special of the day and it was very good! Nice, flakey and came out hot! This place will be going on our breakfast rotation list for Williamsburg!! read more

This traditional dinner serves breakfast and lunch. It's totally informal and the service is wonderful. I've been going there for years, mostly for breakfasts but also for an occasional lunch. Their French toast and the plate-size blueberry pancakes would keep me coming if nothing else was on the menu. read more

This diner serves very excellent food. We went 3 times for breakfast while in the area and were impressed every time. The best hash browns I've ever had - not the slightest bit greasy. I had the Greek omelette which was so flavorful and well cooked. My husband loved the corn beef hash and biscuits and gravy. I also noticed the food was not as salty as some diners, which is a great thing. The customer can always add more and not all of us want it. read more

A real locals diner. Best pancakes ever, and a friendly staff. Good prices and great value. We went three days in a row when we were in town! read more

Wow you will not leave here hungry. As others have said this is what it is, a straight forward diner. Something's do not have to be anything more than what the customers want. The eggs were cooked perfectly the coffee was a mild roast. I do agree with the cleaning comments and change out stained ceiling tiles that are stained and maybe some new blinds. With that being said I personally would not change a thing as it feels like going back in time. Simply good food. read more

Want a classic greasy spoon diner? This is it. Hidden gem, off the beaten path? Yep. Everything that my family had today was delicious and the portions were generous. The ONLY reason that they lost a star was because the prices have really skyrocketed for most things. The prices are just too high for a diner. I love this place, but it's the truth. The breakfast sandwich with feta, spinach, and tomato was amazing. My wife's corned beef hash was huge, and though she didn't like it, i felt like it was great. My two daughters each got a confetti pancake, which were bigger than their heads! My son had the French toast sticks and devoured the entire meal! read more

Our all time fave - we love the Greek sandwich! Best deal in Williamsburg served by the best waitresses (Lori and Silva have been serving my man this yumminess for nine years and they made a fan out of me too!) It's busy but worth the wait. Try the Reuben for lunch! Yum! read more

Had a great experience. Service was attentive. Food was delicious and quick. Make sure you get the breakfast sandwich. Amazing value and damn near full after the sandwich alone. Onion rings are some of the best in town - nice and crispy. And if youre into pate and the likes, you'll love the scrapple. Would highly recommend and would go back. read more

Really busy on a Sunday morning but got a table in 25 minutes. Good old fashioned local diner. Staff really nice despite being busy. Food came fast. I had country fried steak and it was good. The other person had the waffles and by the look of her empty plate it was good as well. read more

How in the hell does this place get 4 stars? The restaurant itself could use an update. It is old and tired, but more importantly it could use a deep cleaning. I don't mind a local joint with some character but it has to be clean. The food was nothing great. Frozen burger patties, frozen fries...nothing made from scratch. Our server was friendly but the service was incredibly slow. Our food sat in the window for an extended time and was cold by the time we received it. The worst offense was watching a server take food off of one plate with her bare hands, put it on a different plate and then serve it to a customer. Yuck! The health department should shut this place down. We certainly won't return. read more

The food was average, service average, atmosphere average. Server did not ask about food once she placed it in front of us. If she had I would have pointed out that my omelette was not prepared properly. It was missing the hash browns inside and I received the wrong toast. read more

Best part about this diner was the cornbread! The menu is okay, food quality wasn't quite there. Portions are okay. I enjoyed trying a new spot. Wasn't as friendly as I thought it would be. Small inside. Pricey for what you get. read more

The five sports café in Williamsburg was pretty easy to fine and offered free parking right on Syed This is a long time establishment with a very classic menu that I really enjoyed My waitress was very attentive and checked in on me frequently to make sure the excellent coffee never Ran out. I asked about the blueberry pancakes and she said it was one of their specialties so I ordered them and was very happy that I did This is not a fancy place but a good place to go to for groups of four or less to have a really classic diner menu with very fair prices. I would highly recommend read more

Stopped on our way to Jamestown and Williamsburg as it seemed out of the way and not your typical tourist spot. We were right on all accounts and couldn't of been more pleased. Generous portions of home cooked meals with genuine hospitality. A word of warning though; the 'breakfast sandwich' will feed 3 and as good as mom will ever make. While they don't appear special in any way the onion rings were tender and delicious and the generous portion seemed to disappear with everyone having to try them over and over. Definitely recommend stopping for a bite if you're in the area!!!! read more

This was a random selection my family made for a quick bite to eat as it was close on our way to Jamestown. We enjoyed that they practiced social distancing and the place is your regular diner. Clean, quick service, and good food you are familiar with. They have "regulars" which I always appreciate. The cook was very kind and made sure our food was top notch and the hostess as well. Willing to stop here again. read more

Great little diner. It's my son's favorite breakfast place in the area. Everything is always good and reasonably priced.

Wife and I had the mushroom Swiss burger. She had the onion rings and I had the fries. Also ordered a side of fried okra. My burger was great. It had fantastic seasoning and the fries were also equally seasoned. The okra seemed to have little to no seasoning. The wife's onion rings were delicious as well. It's a cool little place kinda tucked away from New Town and the other shopping area. We will be back for sure. read more

Best breakfast with a good cup of coffee. This is a down to Earth place. A good local place

Food was hot and everything was cooked to order. Service was excellent. Very popular with the locals so must be good. Eh?

There are some foods that, when I see them on the menu, I must try it. Country Fried Steak is one such food. At FFC, it's only on the breakfast menu, so I need to get there early to try it. Three days ago I had the chance. Sitting at the bar, I ordered Coffee, CFS, and Corn Cakes. They were busy; I had perhaps a 15 minute wait for my food to come up. No worries; I was in no hurry. The Coffee was good, as usual. The CFS, generously doused with gravy, was good. I ate and enjoyed every bite, but it's not good enough for me to repeat. And the Corn Cakes. I believe, that in my 60+ years, I've never had Corn Cakes. Basically, I think, pancakes made with cornmeal instead of flour. I was first struck by how dry they were. So I slathered on butter. That helped, but still too dry for my taste. I requested syrup and was given a cruet of HFCS. Use sparingly. Still too dry. So half-eaten, I abandoned the Corn Cakes. I was full, so I headed out. I love this place and will certainly return, but now I know what not to order. If I get there early, I'll have the Greek Omelette for breakfast; if i arrive later I'll have one of the many sandwiches I've not yet tries. read more

The good? Service is wonderful. Portions are out of control. And the place is always packed!

Terriffic. This is a diner and they do it well!! Breakfast and lunch only. The menu is not too big and not too small - but just right and there should be something for everyone in your party. Waitstaff is really terrific and welcoming. The cooks know their stuff- the eggs are always perfect no matter how you order them. I had an omelet that was colorless on the outside - something that a fine dining restaurant would consider a French omelette and charge $25 for. But really a terrific spot and fast! They get you in and out pretty quick which is perfect for a busy weekend. read more

OoOoOoO....Corn cakes!! These look exactly like those flat, round discs made of batter called pancakes, griddlecakes or hotcakes. My love for cornbread but my dislike of pancakes had me on the fence whether to order. I took the leap of faith and got it with the corned beef hash and eggs. Loved the corncakes with syrup and corned beef was the traditional type that prepared me for my long exploration day in Colonial Williamsburg. Minor gripe: What I did not like was the way they set up their waiting list. We came in and got on their list and they allowed others that came after us to sit down first. Furthermore, once we sat down, the server took orders of those who sat down later first. Where is the logic? read more

I Yelped my way to thus lovely local foodie restaurant. It was easy to locate and we met some wonderful Williamsburg natives. We had the sausage biscuit and gravy combination with loaded hash browns (mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and delicious cheddar cheese). The food was amazing. We enjoyed fresh brewed coffee with our meal This location is quaint and homey. You have a main waitress but they all work together to keep your coffee cup full and your food served piping hot. A nice flow of great customer service. We drove an hour to try this restaurant and it was worth it. You will love anything you select. We saw people ordering a bit of everything on the menu, all smiles and giggles as we all ate as much as we could. Most people leave with rake - out dishes because the portions are huge. You need to go and experience the food, service and love from the locals. read more
