So, you're visiting Williamsburg and want to know where's a good place to eat. A quick drive down Richmond Road and you'll be convinced that this small town has more restaurants than residents. There's definitely no lack of choices.
Most visitors tend to focus more on dinner, and we do have plenty of wonderful options for evening dining. However, do yourself a favor and skip the fast food for lunch and try one (or all) of these local establishments for sandwiches that you'll crave long after your vacation is over. Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que – Ask anyone in town and their #1 recommendation for lunch will 9-times-out-of-10 be Pierce's. It's a long-time favorite, and it's always busy for good reason. Their unique Virginia BBQ is unlike any BBQ you'll taste anywhere, and I'm willing to bet that once you try it, you'll be back! They sell bottles of their "secret" sauce, which is pretty darn tasty although not an exact match to the real thing. For families with picky eaters, they do serve other items on the menu, so there's something for everyone. NY Deli – You can't beat a hot sub from NY Deli. Everyone in town has their own personal favorite – a hot Gringo, a hot Holly, a cold Italian, etc. Go ahead, ask someone. But this place isn't just sandwiches. They have a fantastic Greek salad, and their pan-style pizza is another favorite. And those desserts! I recommend calling in your order ahead of time. This restaurant gets packed! The Cheese Shop – Located in Merchant's Square on Duke of Gloucester Street, the Cheese Shop is a lovely little place for lunch. Don't be surprised to see a line outside the door if you go right at lunchtime. This is one popular spot for a sandwich! It's the fresh-baked bread and delicious house dressing – you'll want to pick up a few jars on the way out for you and your friends—that makes these simple sandwiches so special. You can also enjoy a glass of Virginia wine with your meal to complete your local-flavor experience. **Header photo is of a Cheese Shop sandwich, from the Cheese Shop website**
