I'm a local. I live less than 4 blocks from this place. I could go to any local place - I know…read morethem all - and I come here for breakfast at least once a week. The location is perfect. Hohl is a block from Merchant's Square where all the shopping for Colonial Williamsburg is and it's literally next door to the parking garage. Park in the garage for 2 bucks and walk 60 seconds to Hohl. The service is great. It's limited - you order at the counter and they bring it to you - but it's always friendly and prompt. The prices are reasonable. It's not cheap, but it's not stupid either, and the whole experience is totally worth it. The food is uniformly excellent. Tasty, served hot/cold as appropriate, innovative and well presented. My favorite is the house muesli. Fabulous. The seating inside is kinda close and cozy, so know that going in: if you have more than one small kid, please do everyone a favor and eat at the picnic tables outside. This place is a full-on local's favorite. Do not miss it.

When asked about preparation and ingredients in regards to food allergies, he always went to ask the chef. Our group ordered the fish and chips, burger, Count of Monte Cristo sandwich, chicken salad (which came in a tortilla bowl), and the Reuben sandwich. It was a quiet lunch as we were enjoying our meals. They also were awesome in providing separate checks for everyone. A fun feature: dog bowls filled with popcorn were brought to the table to enjoy while our food was being prepared! This is a new location for the Hound's Tale. It's quite large and it has a separate bar area. Parking is free and plentiful in front.

The service was amazing, we were told about the menu, the history of the table we were sat at, even how they clean it with water and vinegar to keep healthy. The thrifting that took place to make all the pieces look nice in the space. Now to the food, I had the tomato toast as my entree, it was simply the best, freshest thing I've ever tasted. I couldn't believe my mouth. The tomatoes tasted so fresh and the sourdough bread was amazing. We were told all the food is locally sourced down to the bread from across the street. The kids macaroni and the kids Ao Burger was very flavorful. Boyfriend had the Ao burger and he stated it was delicious. I would highly recommend! I believe the server we had was Jazmine, she was very nice and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, the vibes and was on top of drinks and made our first experience there a great one! Thank you!

Our food was very good, the poutine was honestly one of the best things I had to eat in a long time. Mixed with the fried egg every bite was genuinely a "perfect bite".

And the fresh air felt great. Onto the food. The salted butter bread though tasty was tough to cut and served at room temp. The almond butter and apricot jam were fantastic but the bread was tough to bite. We both got the poutine which he enjoyed, I thought it was bland and lacked much in the way of flavor. Disappointing plus not much in the way of tater tots. They didnt have the doggie menu I saw online which is why I came here but they did make up a beef patty with rice. My dogs ate the beef and played with the rice. And tap water was served which wouldn't have been so bad bit again it was served at room temp which made it taste odd.

You can grab a sandwich (lots of great options) and their house dressing alone is worth the stop. Seriously delicious. But the real fun is the cheese counter. You can build your own cheese board, browse all their incredible cheeses and charcuterie options, and then... here's the best part... Take everything downstairs to the cellar, order a glass (or bottle) of wine, and just enjoy. No rush. No fuss. Just good food, good wine, and a great atmosphere. It's one of those spots that feels like an experience, not just a meal. Fun, relaxed, and so, so yum. If you're in Colonial Williamsburg, don't skip this one. Grab cheese, grab wine, and settle in -- you'll be glad you did.

We didn't get a chance to try anything since it was close to closing time, but I can definitely see this place getting super busy on the weekends.

All the previous times were all excellent with the food and beverages ordered. Let's see if this visit continues the good luck. We were immediately greeted by the staff and promptly seated. To my surprise, they completely remodeled the restaurant. Going from 9 tables to close to 30 and looking gorgeous from head to toe. For the entire hour we were there, it was a sight that I can't forget. Congrats to Tipsy Beans for this :) Enough gloating about the interior. Let's discuss the food. My beverage was a large iced Mud Turtle latte and my meal was a meat lovers omelet with mushrooms added (for only 25 cents extra). Everything was excellent. The latte wasn't too sweet which was very good for me. And their tall glass (which is new for remodeling) was really cool. The omelet was cooked perfectly with the protein and veggies all coming together. A home run all around. Thank you Tipsy Beans for making us feel at home. Top notch service to go with a wonderful meal to start the morning. We'll be back again soon :)

We sat in the back new area and it's a little less light back there. Service was good even on a busy morning! I didn't like how they charged for bbq sauce for my fries!
