It is feasible to leave Colonial Williamsburg to eat and return, but your time will be better spent if you eat in the area.

There are many different ways to accomplish feeding your family while visiting Colonial Williamsburg and I am going to help give you some ideas.

Eat at the Visitors Center

• Huzzah!
  This is a good choice if you start out here and are ready to eat before you start exploring. They have a decent selection and a good kids menu. You can also save this for a simple dinner if you parked at the visitors Center. They stay open until 10pm. You can purchase your souvenir mugs here and refill them throughout CW.
• Commonwealth Coffee and Tea This is good for a small snack to tide you over or a drink. They are open from 9 till 5.

  A Little Fancier Fare!

• Berret's Restaurant & Taphouse Grill
  This restaurant was voted "Best Seafood Restaurant" for the last 15 years. I love this restaurant and have never had a bad meal here. It is slightly expensive, but for lunch try the outside deck.
• Blue Talon Bistro
  This is a huge crowd favorite if you ask the locals. They offer a light breakfast fare and then
• Fat Canary
  This is a highly celebrated restaurant in the area. It has been awarded the AAA Four Diamond rating 3 years in a row. Make reservations.
• Seasons Restaurant
  This is more of a family friendly restaurant. Although this restaurant is good their service is sometimes lacking. They have a weekend brunch.
• The Trellis Restaurant and Cafe
  This is one of the most celebrated restaurants in Colonial Williamsburg and the home of the famous"Death By Chocolate" dessert. You will need reservations and you should expect to pay 4$100 per person when all is said and done. Personally, I think it is overpriced and have had more than one disappointing meal over the last few years here.
  
  

  Snacks and Desserts

• Baskin-Robbins
  This is the only ice cream shop in Colonial Williamsburg. It is the second busiest in the country but they always serve you with a smile!
• Barnes and Nobel snack shop
  Located on the second floor of Barnes and Nobel, they offer a large selection of beverages and light sandwiches.
• The Raleigh Tavern Bakery This colonial bakery offers fresh baked goods as well as drinks from 9:30 to 6:00. The treats are always yummy.
• Wythe Candy and Gourmet Shop Although this is not a Colonial Williamsburg restaurant it is a tradition. Stop here to get a sugary treat.
