King's Arm Tavern

Really fun. Food was great and following authentic recipes of the time. It’s dark and candlelit, and some punch or old stitch gets you right in the mood of sitting in a tavern in the revolutionary days.

The food is still good, but the battery powered lighting rather then candles is a disaster. The battery lights just aren't bright enough. Could not see to eat. Will not be back unless this is fixed.

Unfortunately our reservation was at 6:30 p.m. Needless to say it was dark. Dining is by battery powered candles. I realize that there was no electricity during the mid to late 18th century but whatever realism was intended was destroyed by not being able to see to read the menu or by the other diners using their cell phone flashlights!
Food was ok...My wife loves the venison, rabbit, duck pie. Try the bread pudding it is served warm and very delicious.

I would recommend the King's Arms just visit in daylight, late afternoon during the summer is great

Kings Arm Tavern continues to serve excellent food and provides a menu authentic to the era. The ambiance of the Tavern is what I love the most. A way for us to see our Founding Fathers I their own environment.

Great food. Great value. Unique setting. My favorite restaurant in the whole country

As always a great time and food was had. We missed the live music . We can’t wait to go back when things return to normal.

Great food service and atmosphere

The wife and I enjoyed our dinner very much. I will speak highly of the evening well spent.

We love this place. Their covid compliance was good . The restrictions did change the dining experience from prior visits but we understand it was going to be different. Our meal was excellent.

We always go to king’s arms tavern during the holidays. It’s always wonderful. Today was no exception.

King's Arms Tavern is a wonderful option for Williamsburg visitors! The servers were friendly and very helpful. We were most impressed with the beautifully presented, delicious food. The prime rib and fingerling potatoes were cooked to perfection. You won't want to miss trying the historic peanut soup either!

Welcome back. The experience was wonderful as usual.

Excellent prime rib dinner, all inclusive! Our waitress was always in period mode and dress....great ambiance:)

We always have an amazing experience at the King's Arm, and we were impressed by all the safety measures in place during Covid. We can't wait to go back!

Excellent meal and service. We celebrated our anniversary there for the 3rd year in a row but have eaten there many times in between.

Great service. Food is a little pricey, but totally worth it! We loved the Game pye. It's cute because they tell you stories about why we have some sayings and traditions. Just some fun history. I would highly recommend coming here. I don't think it would be good for little children, but it's a nice place for a romantic evening. Lunch might be better for kids. Also the bathroom is upstairs. I don't think there is a handicap accessibile way to get upstairs, but I would call to ask of you want to know more.

Prime rib done to perfection
Desert outstanding
Service very good
Tables spaced out nicely

What’s not to love about this place? We were so very happy that it reopened in time for our anniversary. There aren’t too many establishments that offer history and ambiance. Combine these things with delectable offerings such as peanut soup, prime rib and lamb shanks and you have yourself an experience that you will keep talking about. Excellent evening and great care provided by our host and server, Martin.

I really enjoyed dinner here. It was quiet and relaxing. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The peanut soup is delicious.

Had a very good dinner. Service was top notch as well as the food.
I left my cell there on silent. If you have ever lost your cell, you know how it feels. It was brought to the Colonial Williamsburg police. GPS is great but my server did me a huge favor. We love the taverns.
Thank you!!

It was a wonderful, authentic, historic experience and we loved every minute.

Food was delicious, ambience fun and service outstanding.

We always enjoy the Kings Arms. The peanut soup was a bit watered down - not as savory as in the past. Missed the real candlelight. My husband had the prime rib & I had the filet of beef. Both were excellent. The chocolate cake was amazing! Will stop in again.

Our server, Lynette, was delightful and we so appreciate her. The food was delicious and what would be expected at a Colonial dining spot. We would suggest it to everyone and would love to see Lynette again!!! Starting with the smoked fish dip and ham relish on Sally Lunn bread was a delightful surprise. The warm wild berry crumble was the perfect end to our salmon, game pye and tenderloin dinners. Thank you!!!

Wonderful evening! Food was delicious, lamb, beef, and salmon.

Dining at Kings Arms was a must do during our visit to Williamsburg. The service was excellent, the food was very tasty and the Rummer satisfying. The folks at Kings Arms have done an excellent job working within the confines of the Coronavirus.

No I don’t want to

Anniversary

Lovely historic tavern w good food and excellent service.

Lydia was an awesome server. Food was excellent and the portions were large.

We were at the Tavern for dinner ( 6:30 seating). If there was any complaint is the lighting is done with electric candles which made for difficult reading of the menu. The food was very good and done to perfection. Will visit again when back in Williamsburg.

Our dinner at King's Arm was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was VERY friendly and attentive. It was very romantic and quite dark, so if you have trouble with darkness you might request a table near the door. We missed the strolling musicians, but the piped in music was nice. We highly recommend the tavern dinners; they are wonderful! And a fitting ending to our last evening in Colonial Williamsburg. Thank you!

Missed the candles and yard square napkins, also live music. And realize things have to change. Food and service still great.

Everything was great except the change to dim tea lights instead of real candles. The real candle sticks definitely provided better lighting in years past. Otherwise always a great time.

Excellent, food, service, and atmosphere in Historic Williamsburg, VA.

Wonderful ambience and delicious food and drinks! Server was very knowledgeable. Missed the live musicians.

Great experience and excellent food.

Food was delicious and server was excellent! It was just a little dark but I know that was to keep with the colonial them. Excellent dinner!

The food, the ambience and the service were perfect!

The service was excellent as usual, the food was incredible and the drinks were amazing. The restaurant however was too dark to even see what we were eating and the restrooms need to be accessible for handicapped customers, not on the 2nd floor.
We still love the Williamsburg tavern restaurants and will return as we have over the last 10 years.
