Our first time to Yorktown and had no idea what to expect. The riverwalk area was short but nice. What made it great was this restaurant. The restaurant was busy. We only waited about 15 minutes. But the view of the water made the wait enjoyable. The atmosphere was appropriate for a casual place. Lots of dark wood, a bar, booths and, I assume, faux copper ceiling tiles. We were seated in a high table near the window with a view of York River. Our server was great! She helped me make a choice of beer. The double IPA was citrusy which I like. I was torn between the fish tacos, a loaded baked potato with "famous" chili, or grilled crab sandwich. She said beyond a doubt get the tacos. She was so right! I love fish tacos. The Booming Tacos, an off-the-menu item, was over the top. I mean there was so much rockfish it was over the top of the grilled flour tortilla. The moist blackened fish pieces laid atop spring mix and drizzled with a creamy spicy boom boom sauce. My husband had the Rachel, a turkey sandwich on rye with Russian dressing and coleslaw, it came with french fries that seemed to have a bit of a coating that made them very crunchy. Everything was great. If ever back in the area, this will be the place to eat. read more

Nice people. Good service Their chili is directly out of the can Hormal canned chili. Tasted like absolute nothing. Had to add salt and pepper to taste anything and then just didn't even eat 1/2. Paid an extra $1 for cheese and onions on top. I'm talking bye 7 little cheese pieces and the same with tiny onions. Their clam chowder was salty. And other than the fried seafood, it wasn't worth the cost. Need to remind ourselves this is tourist trap with bumped up prices for quickly made (and not properly seasoned) food. Major disappointment and a waste of $30 for a sandwich, fries and a cup of chili read more

Yorktown Pub - Strait out of a can chili. Had to add salt and pepper to taste anything. Was still hungry but left the last 1/2 since it didn't taste good - Pubs Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Yorktown Pub never disappoints. I first visited about seven years ago and knew I had to come back -- and I'm glad I did. The vibe is exactly what you'd hope for in an old-style pub: relaxed, welcoming, and full of character. The food is great, the portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for both food and alcoholic beverages. If you're in the Williamsburg / Yorktown area, this spot is definitely a must-visit. It's the kind of place you look forward to returning to again and again. read more

Yorktown Pub continues to be an amazing watering hole dive serving great bites and libations, It's been way to long and I was glad to visit them again. Nothing has changed whatsoever on the decor. A friendly host seated me and then my waitress. I was going to be easy and knew I wanted a bowl of chili on a cold October day. My best WL pushed out in 10 minutes and was delicious! If you have yet to check them out they are a must! The Yorktown Pub is legendary for the area. read more

Cute little place with water views. The service was fast and friendly. The table we were seated at wasn't clean but they wiped it down. We ordered some specialty drinks (Rip Current & Sea 2the Sun) and they were good. Then we got the Guinness beef stew with fries, and a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of chili with cheese and onions. We finished it off with a slice of German chocolate cake (not pictured). The food was ok. Nothing spectacular, but good. The cake was made by a bakery in town and pretty good! Cute local hand out. read more

Well we use to love going there as we are locals. But we got a very big disappointment on 26 th of june they decided to pave parking spaces. So we drove around 3 times looking for a place to park. Finally gave up and went to subway. Very disappointed hope the tourists can support them on the slow season read more

We stopped in today for lunch. I immediately fell in love with the whole vibe! The place was hopping. And despite the busyness of lunch rush we were greeted right away. We opted to sit at the bar, as it was just my mom and I, the bartender was friendly and even helped with my indecisiveness. Her drink suggestion was just what I needed after a morning of major sightseeing. The food was delicious! We both had raw oysters and Gonzo burgers. If you are in Yorktown Virginia I highly recommend you have a meal and a cocktail at the Yorktown Pub. Warm friendly atmosphere, fabulous food and libations. read more

I'm not sure why the good reviews. The place is cute inside and our server was nice, but the food was not good. Greasy fried seafood and frozen fries. The baked potato seemed like it was boiled. Very low quality and effort. My entire family felt ill after we ate here. read more

While being very busy for a Friday lunch rush, they were able to seat our party of six pretty quickly. The food all came out quickly and tasted great. I got the reuben and it was very good and not too greasy. They also had malt vinegar for my fries, which were crispy and hot. It was loud inside, as expected for a pub, but we had no problem hearing each other. read more

While visiting the historic town of Yorktown Virginia my wife and I decided to try Yorktown Pub after the Trolly driver recommended it to us. We got there around lunch time and had to wait approximately 10 minutes to get seated which wasn't bad. My wife started with the Beer Battered Onion Rings which were good. She ordered the Fried Rockfish Sandwich and I ordered the Seafood combo. Everything was good. Both of us had mix feelings on the fried Rockfish. I was a little tuff and had a different taste. My oysters, shrimp and crab cake were good. Our sides were potato salad, coleslaw and fries which were also good. Overall we had good service and the place was nice. My Seafood Combo was $40 which I thought was a little expensive. read more

This place was great! The staff were absolutely wonderful. They were very understanding of my dairy allergy and helped me thoroughly order from the menu to ensure I did not get anything with dairy. It took her a lot of trips back and forth to the cooks with questions but I thanked her endlessly, as it's so hard to eat out with an allergy! Her help was so greatly appreciated. The food was great! My husband enjoyed his fried shrimp and the fries were top notch! Atmosphere was homey, beachy, and welcoming. Music choice was perfect and the location across from the beach was great! Would definitely recommend! read more

For 4 years now--this is the only place I will eat: I have never had a anything but the best food (granted: I only do ahi and fries). Ever since my start of Beach Day Friday tradition, I have gradually built up a posse of fellow RVA beach-goers. Each visitor is pushed into a midday Yorktown Pub lunch--needless to say, no one has visited another place since! Yorktown Pub has now been etched into their mindset as the complete Beach Day Experience. PS--sitting at the bar offers the best local-ish experience: the two bartenders Ive had over these past 4 years not only give me the best recommendations, but also they remember me and my friends, not locals, but we are treated as locals and feel sooo welcomed! Thank you Shauntae and whole staff and management, for the beautiful experience. I will ALWAYS RETURN (just keep up the amazing work, service, and fresh food)! read more

We came to the Yorktown Pub while visiting the Yorktown Battlefield and Yorktown Riverwalk and Beach. The place is cool on the inside, small, but comfortable. We ordered some chicken fingers, sweet Thai chili calamari, and hush puppies. Everything was pretty good. I really enjoyed the calamari. We saw other tables getting sandwiches and they looked big and delicious. The service was just ok. It took a while to get drinks and our order in and our drinks were not filled very regularly. read more

This is our last time at the Yorktown Pub because they are all of a sudden charging an "order processing fee" G voiced his dissatisfaction to the manager who said if you don't pay I'll call the police. He said I'll pay but we're local and we won't be back. She said "I don't care if you come back or not!" The waitress said they added that fee to help pay for the addition they're building. #tiredofrestaurantaddedfees read more

Another great spot at Yorktown Pub! The food and service are both excellent. My personal favorite is the clam chowder--loaded with big, hearty chunks of clams. You definitely won't leave hungry. Parking is limited, and since it's right across from Yorktown Beach, it can fill up quickly during busy times. read more

I'm a foodie on the beach! I love to find great food all over and this was one spot that runs through my mind aloft. The dining room/ bar area stays busy but the staff is friendly and fast with assisting patrons. I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich with fries. Y'all the food was so good. I had to go sit down on the beach and enjoy my little meal feet just kicking back-and-forth with the waves chicken breast was juicy jerk. Chicken seasoning was really good. It wasn't overpowering like the bun was all chopped up and soggy. It was more like they actually cooked the chicken with the marinade and then prepared the chicken sandwich fresh so it was really good. Have bacon and cheese. I added pickles. It was really good sandwich. The fries were good. They were hot. They were crispy. I'm definitely coming back again. I know you guys are all thinking wow a chicken sandwich but you'll be surprised how many times you order a plain basic chicken sandwich and get something that just not even edible. Can't wait to return. read more

Yorktown Pub - Pubs Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

The place is cozy and old fashioned, nice and comfortable. For a place that is primarily a bar, the seafood is very good. That's good if you are near the water. I had the blackened flounder and butterbeans. My wife had the seafood combo. Other people recommended these dishes and they are indeed good. Prices are reasonable. We generally don't drink alcohol so we can't review this. If possible, I would rate it 4.5. The wait people are friendly and helpful. Parking was easy in public lots (it was November. Others say it is tight in summer). Yorktown is great place for walking and patriotism. read more

Yorktown Pub is the perfect place to stop for Lunch if your exploring the colonial parkway. I stopped in after driving from Virginia Beach and it didn't disappoint! The pub is quaint but has enough seating for larger parties. The bar offers a mixture of craft and domestic beers and serves them in a unique mug. The menu is what you would expect at a pub with a lot of local seafood options and specials. The service was outstanding! Nicole at the bar did an amazing job and I plan on coming back! read more

My wife and I stopped in before touring the Yorktown Battlefield Tour Friday afternoon. They were pretty full, we had to wait 15 or 20 minutes before we were seated. We opened with adult beverages as we peruse the menu. I have not been there for probably 25 years and I am happy to say that it hasn't changed! Still as wonderful and delicious as always. For our main courses, my wife ordered their Pub cheeseburger while I decided on the full order of fried Chesapeake oysters. With my fried oysters, I decided on having their fresh green beans and coleslaw as sides. What a wonderful decision as the whole meal was absolutely delicious! My wife truly enjoyed her Pub cheeseburger! We even walked out with a Yorktown, pub, T-shirt, and sweatshirt! So happy we were able to fit this wonderful place as we traveled reminiscing Lane! If you're in the area, visit! You will not be disappointed! read more

If you're in Yorktown, Yorktown Pub is a must-stop. The clam chowder is hands down the best I've had--rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor in every bite. You can tell it's made right. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, with great views and friendly staff that make you want to stay awhile. Perfect spot to grab a drink and a great meal after being by the water. I'll definitely be coming back just for that chowder alone. read more

We were traveling with our grandchildren and needed lunch. As this establishment was along the water it was an attraction for us. It had that ole' pub look and it did not seem over-crowded. So, we went for it. We were seated by the hostess who was quite pleasant and soon met our server Hailey H. She quickly took a drink order, two water and two sodas, and gave us a fair amount of time to peruse the menu. My grandson ordered the spiced grilled shrimp dinner, our granddaughter went for a plain cheeseburger, I had the house salad and an appetizer sized order of mussels and my wife had a cup of clam chowder and a Greek salad. The food came out hot/cold as it should and it was very good. It clearly did not sit under a heat lap waiting for our server to pick it up. The ambiance was ok but maybe due for a deep clean. It was a well-oiled machine and the staff made our experience there a good one. We left an appropriate tip for Hailey and left the establishment fueled up for the afternoon. We recommend the Yorktown Pub for a good seafood meal, and rightly so with the bay right outside its front door. read more

Stopped here for my seafood fix while here in VA. We ordered some raw oysters that were good but were a little muddy for my liking. The fried seafood was mid at best, the fried oysters were cooked so bad they were stuck together and overly breaded. I was very disappoiinted here. read more

Came here because we were craving clam chowder (it doesn't come with bacon like it does in NC! Hooray). We both got a bowl and finished it before I realized I didn't take a picture. So good. I got the rockfish sandwich. It was a big filet that was cooked to perfection. Being from Florida, I am picky! My husband had the Rachel and said it was great. Ambiance and service was good too! Highly recommend. read more

Mrs Yelp and I decided on a little road trip today. Came here for lunch. Place is very busy. Service was nice, pleasant, and prompt. We had the crab dip and it was more than enough for two people. Needed a bit of salt I though. Mrs Yelp and I agree that it was large enough for a table of 3-4. Mrs had the fried shrimp and I had the gumbo. Gumbo was good with a bit of a bite. The fries were spot on. Location is spot on. read more

Went here on a couple of dates back in the summer of 2024. There was a wait of about 15 minutes. Service was fine but the food was meh. Haven't been back and won't go back unless it's to see a band and not eat. I refuse to spend money on food I can make at home that's infinitely better. read more

Whenever I'm in town, my first thought goes to the delicious crab cake at Yorktown pub. I seriously cannot wait to get there to have it. Being lactose intolerant I can't have crab cakes where ever they serve it. But luckily here I can and it's big and delicious! I got the sandwich and needed to pass on some of the bread just so I can finish the crab cake itself. Worth it, delicious, my favorite thing here and I highly recommend. Also the gumbo was fantastic. Everyone who works here is the suuuuuuper nicest. Very chill spot to visit with killer water views outside. Only strange thing is getting ice in my mimosa but not a big deal, still very tasty. Always have a great time here with the best company, amazing food and yummy drinks. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great location and place to cool off from the heat while visiting the beach. I enjoyed the daily board that displayed both drinks and food specials. Our waiter was both attentive and kind. For food we ordered the Thai calamari special with an order of fries; the fries were beer battered and had cooled off by the time they reached the table. We also ordered the pub burger medium which was great quality hand made however lacked seasoning and the add ons presented on the menu. The beer selection was decent. Will say this place appeared family friendly and the price point is extremely reasonable for waterfront. Drinks were around $7 a piece. read more

Sweden you first walk in you think you're walking into a bar. Doing a great business, the place was jammed but just not at the bar. Even families jammed the place. We ordered steam shrimp, sandwiches, salad and fried shrimp dinner. When the brought in the steamed shrimp I couldn't believe my eyes. They were huge. I didn't get a chance to try them as I had fried on its way. When my platter arrived I also had giant shrimp and green beans & their homemade potato salad. Everything was excellent. However the potato salad was a little too creamy for the amount of potatoes. It's a lot closer to home than some other favorite places we like to frequent. We will return read more

This has been our go to spot for years for good seafood. No longer. The food quality has been steadily declining and recently hit rock bottom. On a recent visit I ordered a soft shell crab special, one of my favorites. The plate that was served contained something resembling a crab, but had been heavily battered and deep fried to the point of being inedible. Today we ordered the fish and chips special and were served fish bites, clumps of fish again heavily battered and deep fried to extinction. Our waitress explained that,that's how we prepare this dish. We told her flat out that the last time we ordered the same dish, we received a beautifully fried filet of cod, not a plate of fish turds! Sadly, that will be our last visit to this establishment and I heartily recommend all to give pass it up as well. read more

Initially we were supposed to go for just a drink, but we ended up driving to Yorktown to view the man made beach front. Parking is only available to customers at the pub, and since this is a tourist destination an empty lot is hard to come by. We shared with the hostess of eating outside, which was tented, and mosquito guarded by their nets. However, the plastic did obstruct the view of the water. Our waitress presented us with the specials and menu. She was nice, but I think the pub was short staffed, since it took about 20 minutes after our drinks were taken. We decided on a bowl of New England Clam Chowder, and the steamed Sampler. The sampler came with 6 oysters, 6 clams, and 1/2 of shrimp. They were delicious and fresh. I can't stop raving on the clam chowder with chunks of potato, and oysters. It was savory and wonderful. The shrimp was not deveined, but still good to dip in the melted butter. I'd recommend the Oysters topped with some horseradish, and hot sauce placed on crackers. I also dipped the steam clams in the butter as well ;) Overall, great food, but service can be spotty.

We ordered jumbo shrimp, baked potato, battle burger and potato salad. All very good choices. read more
