We stopped into Oh Sweetie after a long day of traveling and walking around all the shops, hoping…read moreto grab some ice cream and relax for a bit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and great service, which was honestly the perfect end to a long day. The selection was amazing and the ice cream was so good that we came back again the next night. And somehow it was even better the second time. We tried different flavors and were completely blown away. I honestly can't remember the last time I had ice cream this good. Every bite was delicious. The line can get pretty long at times, but let me tell you, it is absolutely worth the wait. If you're in Williams and even remotely thinking about ice cream, just go. You won't regret it. This place is cute and clean! I wish I had pictures of our cones and floats but we dug in immediately!

Oh Sweetie, my only regret is buying just one brownie!!!…read more Brownies are my fave and the ones at Oh Sweetie will have you saying just that after on bite; "Oh Sweetie!!" They offer a variety of brownies and they are a huge brick of chewy, fudge brownie goodness!!! At $6 a piece, it is worth every cent and very reasonably priced!! The store is in the historic downtown area of Williams, right on Route 66!! If you are ever along Route 66: Be sure to get your sweets on Route 66!!!

There aren't many options in town here if you want coffee, breakfast sandwiches or a pastry. This…read moreis pretty much the only game in town. (I think there's a Starbuck's inside a Safeway.) Brewed Awakenings was really doing the business the day we came with a line out the door. The drive-thru line snaked on forever too. My husband and I decided to get a simple coffee and a pastry to go so we wouldn't have to wait. The very, very sweet cashier misunderstood me asking about a bear claw (maybe she didn't know what it was?) and steered me towards something else with almonds. It wasn't my first choice but ended up tasting pretty good. I was just impressed by how kind and nice she was even though there were so many people waiting to order.

We were headed out of town early in the morning and wanted a quick bite and some coffee. Fast food…read morewas a "plan B," and we like supporting local. My wife found this place on Yelp and it looked like it fit the bill WOW! This place was VERY popular on the morning of July 4. Inside was packed, there was a line out the door, and the drive-through had a line down the street. We parked and joined the line, which actually moved quickly. I appreciated the efficiency of the order processing, despite people in line ordering drinks for their whole family (some having to check in and get answers to questions via text or phone). Since my wife and I were both present in line, we were ready to go when it was our turn. She wanted a pastry and I mostly drink black coffee, so our order was filled immediately -- I was presented with a cup and directed to the self-service pump machine at the end of the line. The coffee had a nice roast and good flavor. As it came from a pump, it was not "freshly brewed," though I assume it was "very recently brewed." If you want the freshest, you'll have to wait for an Americano, but if you want fast like I did, get the drip coffee and get on your way. :)

I was staying overnight on a vacation roadtrip and came in on May 30th at 615 am after finding this…read moreplace on Yelp. The waitress Maria L. sat me at a table. I asked for coffee and she handed me a menu and she asked if I knew what I wanted to eat. I said I needed some time to look at the menu and she frowned and walked away without saying a word. It was obvious she thought I was going to be there a while and didn't want me sitting at the table long. She returned with the coffee and said "You know if it gets busy...." leaving the sentence hanging. I replied I would leave if it did (the restaurant only had maybe 3 tables full at that point, by the time I left at 640 there were two tables empty). After eating the food, which was quite good, I promptly packed up and left as soon as I could 25 minutes after being seated. I walked down to Brewed Awakenings, got a coffee there and sat down at my computer to do some work. In a small restaurant I totally understand that you need to keep tables moving so there is not a wait, but there is a polite and subtle way to message to a patron that they need to move along so other folks can sit down. You can deliver the check early, ask if you are finished, ask if there is anything else you need. Ways to communicate to a patron that they need the table. This was certainly not it. I eat out often, I tip very well, but I have to say this is the first time I felt unwelcome and rushed at a place in a very, very long time. While the food was good, this was not the way to start off day 2 of my roadtrip. In today's economy, making your customers feel like they need to eat and run, and doing so in a rude way, is a master class in how to make your restaurant fail. I do not recommend this place.

The Historic Brewing House is a chill place to get local, craft beer for a pretty decent price. My…read morehusband and I split a flight, and most of the beers were quite delicious. Children are allowed in this brewhouse, but I found it to not be the most exciting place to bring children. The bar had two arcade-like games (a shooting game and ski-ball). The shooting game was broken but charged us anyway (a manager had to refund us), and the ski-ball was entertaining, but with the amount of kids, and there only being one machine, it was a challenge. I wouldn't call this a sports bar either. There were some TVs but nothing big or to write home about. Come here for a chill time with adults to enjoy conversation and great beer. They have a fairly large merch section in the back, with tons of great shirts and items to take home.

I walked into Fred Harvey expecting the usual sad hotel buffet vibes--lukewarm mystery meats and…read moreregret--but instead, I got pleasantly schooled. This place is surprisingly decent, and in buffet land, that's basically a Michelin star. Breakfast? Solid. Dinner? Also solid. They're pulling double duty like a champ without breaking a sweat. The bread is fresh-baked and dangerously addictive (I may have committed carb crimes). The pasta station had me twirling happiness, and the omelette station was flipping out perfect custom creations without judgment. But let's be real: the true MVP was the soft serve. That creamy, dreamy swirl machine had me acting unwise. I went back for thirds and zero shame. Shoutout to the staff--they're genuinely nice and accommodating, like they actually enjoy their jobs. Rare as a perfectly cooked buffet egg. Whether you're fueling up before a day of whatever you do in this area or winding down with dinner, Fred Harvey delivers without the usual side of disappointment. Pro tip: Leave room for the soft serve. Trust me. I'm basically a professional now. Would return. Might marry the soft serve machine. 1 Star - Fred Harvey Gift Shop: Where the Souvenirs Are Fine, But the Racism Is Vintage I came for some overpriced keychains and maybe a magnet to remember my surprisingly decent meal at the attached Fred Harvey restaurant. What I got instead was a masterclass in selective hospitality from an old white-haired lady behind the counter who clearly moonlights as the neighborhood gatekeeper. First incident: Restaurant's closing, gift shop too. My son lags a few steps behind (you know, kid stuff), so we're casually browsing while waiting. Out comes the yell: "We're closed!" I politely explain we're just waiting for him. "You need to get out." Cool, cool. Right then, a white lady and her daughter stroll up. Same situation--waiting for hubby. Suddenly it's all "Oh ok dear, no problem! Take your time!" The contrast was so stark I nearly got whiplash. Round two, breakfast the next day. We actually wanted to buy stuff this time. Walk straight from the restaurant (it's connected!) into the shop. Another white lady enters from outside. "Darling, we're closed." She says she'll just grab a couple things--boom, "Ok that's fine!" Then my son swings around the corner and it's instant yelling: "WE ARE CLOSED! You can't buy anything!!" I jump in: "We came from the restaurant, we were already in here." Her response? A legendary "SO!" My white friend (who could pass for Latin) had to step in and point out the obvious double standard before she grudgingly let us shop. At that point? Zero desire to give her a single dollar. I wanted to vault the counter and test if that hair was a wig, but I'm a lady who respects her elders--even when they don't respect basic decency. For context: My kids are half Black, half Spanish. Beautiful, polite, and just trying to buy some tourist junk like everyone else. The racism was so blatant it ruined what should've been a harmless five-minute transaction. The shop itself? Meh souvenirs. The experience? 1 star and a lifetime of side-eye. Racism is alive and well in the gift shop, folks. Skip it unless you enjoy vintage prejudice with your postcards. Would not return. Might mail the manager a mirror instead. I would be giving the restaurant a 5 star review for the amazing service and pretty impressive buffet experience, but the gift shop ruined that guys. For a town that gets 100% of its income from tourists, it's crazy that being ethnic will get you treated like this.. please address this.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this buffet. This was, without…read morea doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food quality was completely unacceptable. Most of the "hot" items were cold, tasted like they had been sitting out far too long, and seemed anything but fresh. The carving station was the worst part. The meat I was served was severely undercooked -- to the point it was inedible. I actually had to placed it on a napkin, and the waitress took it back to show her manager because of how bad it was. That alone should tell you everything. The service didn't improve the situation either. The check-in process was disorganized and unwelcoming, and overall the experience just felt poorly managed from start to finish. For the price you pay, this place is absolutely not worth it. There are far better options out there. I would not return and definitely would not recommend it to anyone. We paid 72.00 for this buffet which wasn't posted anywhere when you walk up or I would have not eaten here !

Kitschy brewery and restaurant with amazing service and food…read more Server was great at answering our questions and pointing us in the right direction when it came to their food and drinks. I had a smoky old fashioned to start my night and I kept going back to how great it smelled and how smooth the taste was. I chose to have it with their own house bourbon. Food wise, we went with their Canyon Tacos and shared an order of tots. The frybread was crispy and pillowy, the meat was very well seasoned and the pickled red onion really brought the whole dish together. The tots were nice and crispy without being too oily. The place itself was like walking into Williams itself. Lot of wood and mountain core decor with a small creek/wishing fountain. The front part of the place is where you'll find their gift shop. There is also some games upstairs. And they sell their beers and spirits. This is a great place to spend a few hours.

Extremely disappointing inventory management!…read more Every single time I visit this location, the frozen food section is nearly depleted leaving the frazen cases with lots of bare shelves. It is only an aisle and a half, yet there are consistently massive gaps where products should be. As the only major grocery store chain in a busy tourist town, you would think management would understand the high demand. Instead, the bare shelves show a complete lack of competence from whoever is currently managing this department. They are failing to meet basic retail standards, losing sales, and making the store look terrible. Occasional out-of-stocks are normal, but this level of chronic emptiness points directly to poor oversight and incapable staff needing to be put in place. Hopefully, store leadership addresses this management failure soon, because the current situation is incredibly frustrating for customers.
