From the moment we were greeted at the door and quickly seated, the service was exceptional. Our server was incredibly attentive, taking the time to answer all our questions about the menu.

If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely return and try their dessert menu this time.

Now I know why restaurants don't have carpet. Immediately upon entering the restaurant, there was…read morethis musty smell. I assume it's b/c of the old carpet. However, I did notice that the place was not clean and looked dirty. There were spider webs on the ledge over our booth. I know they're trying to go for the rustic look, but the place still should be clean. I had the shrimp tempura dinner with fries and coleslaw. They only gave 7 shrimp, a little bit of fries and the coleslaw was nasty. For as much as you pay you would think they would give you more food; and for the lack of attention to cleaniness, you would think the food would be better. I definitely will not be going back here. P.S. Our waiter was nice.

She was friendly, attentive, and the food came out pretty quick and nice and hot. They brought out some little hush puppies when we sat down, which was a nice little extra. I started with the calamari, and it was really good. Nice and crispy, good-sized portion, and came with a little lemon. For dinner I got the Williamsburg-style shrimp and grits. It had jumbo shrimp with a tasso ham gravy over creamy cheddar stone-ground grits, with a garlic crostini. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor. The grits were really good too. The whole dish was flavorful without being spicy or too hot. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. Definitely two thumbs up and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Williamsburg.

It's still quite wonderful and price comparable with Berrett's, which is equally excellent. I started with the compressed watermelon and feta salad. Delicious and refreshing, but I think this is too large at four large pieces. This can be ordered and shared as it's a delight in summer. I had the salmon which was exactly the right size, perfectly cooked and accompanied by roasted asparagus. My husband had the crab soup which was delicious. His entree was shrimp bucatini that he enjoyed but found the portion much too large. Service was outstanding, and my rather complex food restrictions were treated with respect and caution. This is just a wonderful place to dine, especially when you want a quiet, adult environment and be just a bit fussed over.

Driving through Williamsburg for my first time and could not be happier that this caught my eye. Service was impeccable and I quickly figured out why... Ask for the GM, Nate. He lives and breaths hospitality. I will always support someone that is trying to take an amazing Restaurant to another level! Need a recommendation?, Ask Matt behind the bar. He's a local that will never give bad advice! Hot Oyster sampler was an amazing ice breaker. Barrimundi is his "go-to", however, if he recommended the "Special of the Night" to you, I would order it in a second. Overall, atmosphere was perfect, staff was friendly and had the best experience. My vote for Best Restaurant Williamsburg.

(March 2026) During…read moreour Historic Triangle visit, my wife and I stopped here for dinner. It was close to our hotel, and we didn't want to drive far. We started out splitting the Caesar salad ($11 plus $3 extra for them to split it) and garlic knots. We didn't know we were going to also get garlic knots. After that, we split a 12" Margherita pizza ($18) and a side of meatballs (which comes in two for $8). My two complaints were (1) that the meatballs came out the same time as the pizza, so the meatballs were no longer hot. (2) the $1.95 additional service fee at the end. Otherwise, our dinner was good, and the service was great.

For entrees, we had the bone-in pork and the cavatelli, and both were excellent. The pork was probably one of the top five I've ever had -- cooked perfectly, with a great sauce on top and really good grits. My wife had a gin, egg white, raspberry, and prosecco drink. It tasted mostly like prosecco, so we weren't quite as impressed with the cocktail as we thought we'd be. One little tiff: there was no one sitting on the outside patio, so we asked if we could have the shaded table. They said no because of the staffing setup. About halfway through our meal, one couple came and sat at the larger table we weren't allowed to use, then decided they didn't want to sit there and went inside. Not really sure what the big deal was with that table versus the one next to it where we were seated on an otherwise empty patio. But all in all, it was a great meal and we would definitely go again!

They suggested this hidden gem... we walked in to an older man who was very nice and patient with my family and I. I will say the place is small with maybe 2 tables inside but a couple more tables outside. The food and the service makes up for it. I ordered the seafood platter- catfish, shrimp, crab balls, hush puppies and fries. The seafood nice, hot and fresh. They must ship this seafood directly from Louisiana. I will certainly go back again and again. Runnnn and try this place you won't be disappointed.

Oh boy as soon as I put the powder sugar on Beignets and dip the sauce that came with it. I was reminded of the time I was in New Orleans back in 2023! I ate all of them lmao, I mean I am on vacation so calories don't count. Hubby love the Gator bites, came with a tangy style sauce. I did try a bite and the blend of spices compliment the mild flavor of gator very well. I wish I had a second stomach to try other things but I was still full from lunch..... I'm was very surprised to even find this hidden gem in Virginia. Keep in mind sitting is very limit, only two small tables inside and one outside. Mainly a to go place, I would say. But that doesn't mean no flavor! Check them out guys!

This is the second time I have been to Aberdeen and both times I have had Harris James as our waiter! He is so friendly, personable, and attentive. He also is helpful and knowledgeable when you ask questions. We ordered: Crab Dip: this was toasted bread with a melted cheese and herbs topping. The crab dip came in a bowl in the middle. The dip was creamy but chunky with crab. I thought it was slightly salty, but my husband LOVED it ! Clams Casino: 6 clams filled! These wee very yummy. It is hard to find Clams Casino so I was very excited to see this on the menu. Filet Mignon with mushrooms and onions on the top, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I ordered this rare and it was very tender and flavorful! I thought it was a perfect blend of seasonings. It paired well with the mushroom & onions, as well as the mashed potatoes. Sirloin Steak with mashed potatoes and a side salad- home made blue cheese dressing. My husband wanted this cooked medium well. He said it was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. The dressing is made in house, was creamy, and paired perfectly with the salad. The mashed potatoes were creamy. The broccoli was seasoned well and I did not need any butter for them. (I forgot to take photos of the steaks) I definitely recommend Aberdeen Barn. Call ahead for a reservation and make sure you get Harris!
