The menu tells you exactly what you're getting and that's exactly what comes out and they execute it very well. Good portions, great prices, greater food. They didnt try and reinvent breakfast and I found that to be refreshing. We went around 12PM and there was a lunch rush but it moved fast. They also have one side of the building designated for take out. I really enjoyed my time here and loved that the waitress offered me a coffee to go as I paid the check.

Good portions and value for what I spent The Meh: Garlic knots leave a lot to be desired. It was basically doughy bread with a splash of garlic powder When I picked up from the counter, it seemed like I was annoying the staff by checking that everything was correct in the bags. Nothing was bad and I would order from here again. The restaurant itself is an older building, but looked clean and well kept.

What has happened to Paul's Deli? We've lived in Williamsburg for over 25yrs and Paul's was always…read morea favorite for locals. We used to love eating here. Every time we went we saw neighborhood friends. But things have changed at Paul's. The food is bland and doesn't taste fresh. The serving sizes are smaller. I usually get a piece of carrot cake to go. Their carrot cake used to be amazing. Tonight when I got home and opened my to go box, I was very disappointed. Not only was the cake small, it was old and dry. I have attached 3 pictures. Two pictures are of the carrot cake Paul's used to serve. The third picture is what I brought home. Also, that small piece was $10.00. We were there close to two hours and only saw one other customer in the restaurant. I'm giving 2 stars because our server was wonderful.

French fries were great! At this location, you order at the bar and the food is brought to your table. It was brought it a timely manner. This is definitely a bar like location. The tables are worn down, the floor is sticky, and the walls look like they could be cleaned. The walls are covered in photos and memorabilia and you can just tell they need a good cleaning. Food was decent, service was good, but the location made me feel kind of dirty when I walked out. If you're looking for bar food in a bar like location, this is it.

I came to Williamsburg looking for a GOOD steak... and somehow ended up at a smokehouse--and I'm…read moreactually glad I did! Rocco's Smokehouse kept popping up when we searched for places to eat, so we decided to give it a shot. We weren't really in the mood for barbecue, and they only had ONE steak option, but the menu looked so interesting that we figured, why not? There was about a 15-20 minute wait, which immediately had me thinking, "Okayyy, maybe we made the right choice!" The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and had a great vibe. IMPORTANT: Navigation took us to the wrong location, so pay close attention to the Yelp directions. Rocco's is currently operating from a temporary location. Once we were seated, our waiter was right over to take our drink order. First things first--the sweet tea is MAGNIFICENT! And let me tell you what you NEED to order: Smoked barbecue wings -- MUST ORDER -- absolutely get it! Rocco actually brought it to our table and warned us that we would be hooked and he was right! I originally wanted the lump crab cakes, but I didn't see anyone else ordering them, so I took my waiter's recommendation and went with the brisket quesadillas. GREAT decision! They were juicy, flavorful, and downright scrumptious. My partner ordered Platter #3, which came with ribs, a quarter chicken, and pork barbecue. The chicken was his favorite--he could not stop talking about it! You could really taste that smoky flavor in the meat. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good too. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by Rocco's. We went in craving steak and left talking about smoked wings, chicken, brisket, and barbecue! Would I go back? Absolutely! And next time, those crab cakes are getting ordered! #WilliamsburgVA #WilliamsburgEats #VirginiaFoodie #RoccosSmokehouse #Foodie #YelpEats #BBQ #FoodReview #VirginiaRestaurants

First night in Williamsburg we were tired from the drive and just wanted something quick and easy…read more Rocco's caught our eye, and let's be honest... who doesn't love some bbq? First impression NOISY. This place is loud. High ceilings and open dining area makes the voices reverberate throughout the woke restaurant. The BBQ was ok, chicken dried out and the pork only average. Their sauce was the perfect blend of sweet with just the right about of spice. The place was clean and the service was decent. Not a bad bbq place but definitely has room for improvement.

Thanks for the memories

What can I say about this place - it's your basic pizza joint - SUPER BASIC AND NO FRILLS - seems…read morethis place has been around since forever and has continued to stay relevant for the late-night-munchies college kids. Traveling solo, I was staying next door to (shares the same parking lot with) the Fairfield Inn right off Richmond and Bypass Roads. Arrived and checked in late in the evening and once I was settled into my room, was too lazy to head out again into the cold Winter night to find a place to eat. This pizza joint was the easy, no-hassle option to call over for a carry-out pie and can of soda. My whole order was like $13 and was ready in like 15 minutes. Couldn't really ask for more than that. The worker manning the register was pleasant and friendly. The place inside is totally nothing to write home about - this place is basically a carry out and delivery operation so don't expect even an adequate sit down, dine in area. But it's fine for what it is. The pizza itself was pretty darn good for a $10 10" pie - perfect for 1. It was piping hot out of the oven, toppings were fresh and plentiful (no skimping on topping portions - see my pic), cheese was gooey, melty and stringy, hand tossed crust was chewy just-so. Guy supplied me with plates, plastic utensils, napkins and condiment packets (you have to ask for them). I was back in my hotel room in a flash. Couldn't ask for any more. Would I seek this place out if I wasn't staying steps away at the Fairfield Inn? No I would not. Sorry - truth. But if you're staying at the Fairfield and you're looking for a decent meal that's fast and cheap and conveniently located, go here. Prices are reasonable for what you get so as a student looking for a delivery meal deal, this is probably a good choice as well. Deserving of an average joe-blow 3 stars. Not a knock - just a very average pizza spot that serves its purpose and doesn't deserve more than that.

That's right, a robot comes out of the kitchen and right to your table with your food. That's a first for mee!! The drinks were excellent too. I would recommend trying this restaurant if you're visiting Williamsburg. I'm keeping this as a great review but one thing to mention and be mindful of, CHECK YOUR BILL FOR ACCURACY! Three out of the four of us thought it was intentional that out of the 4 margaritas we ordered, all the same when we ordered them, but on the bill one of them was charged as a monster size ($30.00) when it should've been $15.00. Also an extra soda was tacked on for another $5.00. (Yeah remember us??) Hopefully we're wrong about what we think, but we're from NY and are kinda in tune to that kind of crap lol. But other than that, we all thought it was a great experience and great food too! So it's all good at the end. Go try it! But watch your bill.

He also indicated that it would take about 10-mins or so to prepare the subs as he was in the process of slicing several different types of meats. We were in no hurry so it wasn't an issue. Noel was friendly and chatty. We learned that this Subway had just recently changed owners and the new owner was doing great things for the restaurant and employees.
