(March 2026) During our 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. Holly was our server and she took good care of us. She had several recommendations from the menu. From that, I was sold on the wings, and got the 8-piece ($13.50) with garlic Parmesan sauce. My wife got the chicken quesadillas ($8.29). Everything was excellent, except the upcharge for using a credit card to pay. Finally, I want to add that I loved the local (i.e. not where all the tourists go) neighborhood vibe with lots of sports memorabilia. read more

Popped in after a long hot day of touristing & we were looking for something with a more local vibe. Since it is what I like to refer to as "lupper" we sat at the bar & were greeted by Don. It was just slow enough at that time of day to interact and chat just a bit with Don & a coworker. Our drinks were spot on and my husband tried the happy hour sliders and enjoyed them. I ordered the shrimp Cobb salad & it was delicious. We would absolutely try to stop again if in the area. read more

This was our first time at the Sportsman Grille. Four of us went specifically for burgers, and oh boy what a burger! In addition to an 8 oz. patty, the buns are soft, they don't overwhelm the burger, and they hold together. Love that! You can build your own burger or choose from their selections, which include blue cheese burger, a burger topped with North Carolina BBQ, the Bourbon one with an onion ring, bacon, and cheese, and a grilled cheese with a burger. Plus there are a few more. Quite the variety! They also come with a side. The burgers were good--not overly seasoned. The Tuesday night we went, the place was packed by 5 pm. They had two birthday parties happening. Service was really friendly and helpful, though a little slow, probably due to the number of customers. It took 30 minutes for our burgers to arrive. I don't know if they take reservations, but we walked in and were seated right away. Parking is free and right out front. They have several TVs on the walks so you can watch your favorite sport. read more

We were staying nearby and needed to get a quick bite with kids. We went in about 6pm on a Saturday and it was a 45 minute wait for 6 people. Not a terrible wait time, but they said we could sit in the bar if we found a seat. We were lucky enough to find a seat for 6 of us and it did not disappoint. We ordered happy hour drinks and the chicken quesadilla appetizer. It was really yummy. I ordered the southern salad with chicken and the batter on the chicken was awesome. The waiter was great and was quick with the fountain drinks and bar drinks. After eating I can see why the place was so crowded for dinner. There was no attitude here, they staff were so welcoming and accommodating, great place for a family dinner. read more

I started with the cheese quesadilla, which was not completely horrible; it just lacked flavor. They were edible, but I had ordered the Salmon New Orleans along with a side of onion rings. Instead, I received a piece of salmon on a plate with French fries. Remember, I ordered onion rings! Additionally, I had five shrimp in a bowl on the side, but my first shrimp still had the shell and legs on it. I initially thought that was how they cooked them, but the rest of my shrimp had no legs and were likely just dirty shrimp. My wife ordered the seafood platter, and the presentation was terrible; instead of the onion rings she ordered, they brought her fries. The most upsetting part was the drinks, which tasted more like sour lemonade than the Long Island tea, which I ordered. Unfortunately, this place is completely off my radar now. read more

**Review is about the food from a carry out order** First thing is first, the WINGS were really good and the size of them make up for the somewhat steep price. Cheese fries were okay. The fried chicken Mac & cheese was a hit! The burger was good as well, we ordered just the burger with cheese. Overall it was an enjoyable dinner but it did feel like a bit pricey for American grill food read more

Went back twice in the last two weeks and had the same great waiter.He was kind and efficient , and apologized when things were taking a bit longer than expected. Food was all good, club sandwich, Rueben, chicken tenders, and the all you can eat crab legs Friday nights. They did raise the price to $56 per person, but I know food costs are going up, so now you know. The one item that wasn't the best in my opinion is the potato skins we ordered. A little overcooked. Greets place, especially if you like crab legs and can come on a Friday night. read more

One of the cheapest lunches for me and my fiance, food was great and a great portion. We ordered wings, and the chicken sandwich. Our waitress was super sweet (holly) and told us her faves on the Menu. read more

Food was ok. Service was slow. Ambiance is average 'bar' scene. There's room for improvement. Bartenders had their back to the bar patrons for most of the time. read more

Sportsman's is a local watering hole that sports lovers and families can go and both are welcome and comfortable. We went on a Saturday night to watch college football, eat wings, and have a few beers. When we arrived the hostess had a hard time figuring out where to sit us so we could see the specific game we were hoping to watch. Once that was resolved, we waited about 10 minutes for a server, which we realized was because said hostess didn't tell the server she had sat us. Luckily from there, things improved. Our server was extremely apologetic, quickly got us some beers and a menu, and made up for the oversight of the hostess. We ordered cheese sticks, which we forgot to take a pic of because we were hungry. They were a great size, covered in a delicious marinara, and gooey cheesy deliciousness. I had wings and my partner had a burger. The wings were massive! Great breading, flavorful sauces, and plenty of bleu cheese. The burger was ordered medium rare and cooked to temperature. The fries were crispy and not soggy. Overall a great dinner, with a good tv view. You might wait a little longer than you would if you were to go to a chain restaurant, but the food is so worth it. We look forward to enjoying more wings, beer, and shorts here soon! read more

If you want to talk sports, go here. I had a job interview and sent an email asking if they would have the Cubs game. Michelle answered with a resounding Yes! So after my interview I went and within a minute Donnie the bartender turned it on for me. I enjoyed a great hot dog and fries and loved talking sports with the regulars in there. The Cubs lost but I still left smiling. If I get the job, I'll be back! read more

Our last outing was a Friday night for all you can eat crab legs. Our party of 6 ordered the legs. I was the one who didn't order them I tried the shrimp corn chowder. The broth was good but the shrimp seemed hardly cooked. I asked about the BBQ and was told it was very good. When presented, I discovered the bottom bun was totally soaked wet. Not appetizing. I was finished eating long before the others as they were still ordering more legs. Their orders came with hush puppies. No one was eating them so I grabbed one. They were charred beyond eating; hard as rocks. I mentioned all the above problems and dissatisfaction to our waitress who was a fabulous server. But I must admit she wasn't accurate describing the BBQ. There didn't seem to be much on the menu that interested me, hence the BBQ. I'm sure we'll venture here again for the crab legs, but who knows what I may find interesting read more

A hidden gem. Great service in Resturant and back bar area. Food is great comes out hot and delicious. . Burgers, salads, prime rib great.

Good ambience, customer service, and of course food. We'll be back for more! Hope to try the crab legs at a later day.

Great spot to watch a game, grab a cold brew and good food. Staff is wonderful. My go to spot when I'm in town.

The food is great but the service is poor. This is the second time I've been here and had to walk away without being served. We waited over 10 minutes just to order our drinks, but it was done by another server. The hostess even came by shortly afterwards to take our drink order. Our server finally stopped by and said she will be a few minutes. Ten minutes after we got our drinks from the other server we had to walk away. Our server never came back. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants when I'm in the area. Now I'm second guessing myself. read more

I can't believe Sportsmans is getting low ratings! This was one of the best places to eat we've had will in Williamsburg. The waitress was funny, friendly and excellent at her job. The atmosphere was engaging (though the booth bench was not very comfortable), and the food was lovely. I ordered chicken wings expecting the typical, daintily tiny wings I'm used to at home, and was pleasantly surprised at the size of these wings. Crunchy with homemade dipping sauces, and enough for a serving meal, I totally enjoyed it. My husband had the Carolina burger. It was amazing! Bacon, pulled pork and hamburger with lots of pickled tomatoes and cheese...mmmmm! Or drinks were filled without us asking and a take away drink was provided with my left overs. Great place, will return!!! read more

I saw the reviews and the rating and I was skeptical. But boy was I pleasantly surprised. I loved this place. So much so we went the next day for lunch. We liked dinner better but lunch was still good. The food: we got wings and they were excellent. They really know how to do wings. My family is from Buffalo so I know a good wing. We got naked Caribbean dry rub. Delicious!!!! Highly recommend. I got the special. The ribeye. It was 10 ounces so don't dream of Ruth Chris giant 32 oz steak. But was it lacked in size it made up for with flavor. We all tried each others meals and everything I had was excellent. Shrimp, the chicken wrap, fries, potato salad, you name it. For lunch I just got the burger. It was good. Not great. Next time I do lunch I might just get the wings. VERY IMPORTANT: KIDS EAT FREE. You just have to mention it. I'm not lying. Just mention it. The service was amazing. Bridgette was our waitress and she was incredibly nice. This place is a lot better than their current rating in my opinion. read more

Stopped in today for lunch. Restaurant not busy at all, maybe 5% full at the most. Server was too strung out to even pay attention and let me finish my order. Took over 20 minutes to get my food. Ordered extra crispy wings and a burger. All came out at once, Wrings were mediocre at best. Burger was though, bun was stale, fries were already cold. Did not send anything back because the server presented himself as one who would spit in your food. Once he picked up my plate it took another 25 minutes and me asking another server to get my check and test I timed it. I will not return and strongly do not recommend anyone eat here. read more

Been here a few times, great prices and good size plates. Good beer selections with a full size bar. Staff was prompt and sweet. Great sports memorabilia if that's your thing. Burgers are very good, don't forget the brownie and ice cream! Good parking and southern hospitality I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. read more

Had a group from our neighborhood meet for drinks and food. Called ahead for 25-30 guests; food selection, service, pricing, all beyond expectations! We will return again. read more

My first trip to this place was for lunch with a friend. We both ordered the fish & chips. The waitress didn't tell us that you can have it seasoned several ways. We got ours in what appeared to be a thick batter, not greasy, but flavorless. Fries were crispy and not greasy, but no seasoning. The water had a funny taste, maybe their water filter needed to be changed and the coffee was bla. Waitress was nice and pretty attentive, but we won't be back. Disappointed read more

Best food great place love! Bartender with the zz too beard is halla cool!! Yep! This is the spot

The service was slow. We waited about 45 minutes for our food. The restaurant was cold and drafty. It was way too bright in the dining room. I ordered a Greek salad and was served another salad. The appetizer came out with the main entree. read more

This is three (3) times in a row that my take-out order wasn't correct. Today I ordered BBQ wings and got honey mustard wings. Last time I ordered same BBQ wings and when I got home, I had breaded wings with a side of BBQ sauce. Time before that I ordered 12 wings and got 8. C'mon guys...get it together. Never had bad service dining in, but if you order take-out...lesson learned here is to check it before you leave. read more

Came in and we were met by a grumpy hostess (because we asked for a booth?) who sat us and we were ignored. When we got mad and started to walk out (because we were tired and hungry from a long day) and this large white girl who seemed to be the boss actually had the gall to say "if you were a little bit nicer I would've took you right away". What?? Then I called and asked for the manager and they said the manager isn't in today. What a joke. This place has a bunch of regulars it looks like. THEY get treated good. read more

Very disappointed with our visit today. My wife and I ordered the Thursday night special Prime Rib cooked medium which we have done multiple times. Tonight mine came out medium and my wife's was extra well. She wasn't going to say anything but I convinced her. The waiter went to the lady manager and we could see them talking, he then came back and said there was nothing they could do. We paid for everything, boxed up the over cooked prime rib and fed it to our dogs when we got home. The problem is the manager wasn't professional enough to deliver the news herself and made the poor waiter. We still tipped over 20% because unfortunately he works for a manager that wouldn't be qualified to manager a 7-11. We have been eating here for years and this might be the last time. We can take bad food, bad service but not being respected as a customer is too m read more

Feels like a hole in the wall sports bar, but being by Busch Gardens it's a go to spot and close to hotels!

Met a friend on Friday night for all you can eat crab legs. They come with one side and are at market price. Our waiter was attentive and was on top of bringing out my crab when our plates were getting low. The sports decor and plentiful tvs are great for any sports fan. Recommend and will go back. read more

I have given this restaurant more than enough times (over a 6+ year time frame) to come to a clear and concise conclusion that they just don't care. I have been here with my cousins on several occasions, and they come almost daily. Each time I was highly disappointed, long, excessive waits, food over cooked and/or order incorrect. Today at my little cousin's party, everyone waited excessive amount of time, food was incorrect. My cheese sticks were not cooked completely, wings were overcooked and I had 8 drummies and 2 flats. I asked for breaded and fried; they brought back out naked. That is not the worst part. My order was $31.55 w/ tax and included gratuity. There were three different charges on my bank statement of $58.75, $85.60 and the original $26.85 before tip had fell off. How does this happen??? I will have to contact my bank to get this taken care of, BEWARE!!! I will not be back, EVER!!! read more

1The staff is very freindly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. There were several tvs with sporting events. The tables are varnished wood and were a little "sticky", but not bad and I soon forgot about the tables. The food was very good, we had a flight of soup. All of the soup was very good, I don't think you could make a mistake. The club sandwich with fries, the sandwich was very good as well as the large stack of fries. The BBQ bacon burger was very good! The cole slaw was delicious. If you are in the area I recommend stopping in, you will leave with left overs! read more

Sat at the bar side of the restaurant, it was dark inside, three big TVS for games in the bar section, if that's what you are looking for. Bartender was nice, she came over within a few minutes and got us drinks. She seemed pretty busy, but it didn't take too long to get drinks. And they were good, nice and strong. I got the Ruben sandwich. C- It was, OK. The cheese pull, I will have to admit was pretty epic!! However, the corned beef was definitely refrigerated and warmed up to order. It wasn't tough, but it wasn't a melt in your mouth - fall apart - kind of meat. And the bread was so buttered, but couldn't taste the bread at all. I took three bites. My friend got the Birdie Chicken Salad B+ It was a little on the sweet side (I liked it) and the chutney was sweeter then average. It had a good taste and the flavors went well together, I would order this again. Onion Rings B+ They are breadcrumb type- and they don't fall apart when you bite into them! Very good texture and taste, but they seemed like any other sports bar food truthfully They also had good dipping sauces. Sorry but for me, its a one and done. If you are looking to watch them game and have some drinks, might be an OK place. I guess its bar food. read more
