Not much has changed since George Washington frequented Campbell’s Tavern for its delicious seafood in the 18th century. Dig in to locally sourced shrimp, scallops, and fish, and be sure to try Christiana’s famous Crab Cakes, Fried Chicken, Sweet Potato Muffins and Spoon Bread.
The street address is 101 S. Waller Street, with ample parking behind the tavern.

Christiana Campbell's Tavern offers a delightful step back in time with its colonial atmosphere, live music, and engaging service. Guests rave about the "outstanding food," particularly the seafood and crab cakes. While prices are on the higher side, the unique dining experience and historical charm make it "worth every penny."

    To put it mildly, ours was poor. For what we paid for a Thanksgiving dinner for two, it was our first and last dinner at this location. We arrived at 5:30 and received our drinks and appetizers almost immediately. About 50 minutes later we finally received our dinner which was cold. We sent the dinner back and the replacement dinner wasn’t much better. We noticed that others were sending back their dinners too. Without a doubt, this has been one of the worst Thanksgiving dinners ever. Our server suggested complaining to the third party agent that we made our reservation through. At this point it’s time to move on and mark this place off the list of good places to have dinner. Done!

    Thanksgiving dinner on our own for the first time in 46 years. The staff was wonderful and even though she was incredibly busy, Emily couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming and the food was great. Enjoy the excellent guitarist who got all the children to sing along. We had an excellent time.

    My husband and I had prepaid a Thanksgiving Day meal at the Tavern. We had eaten at other Tavern's in Colonial Williamsburg and were expecting standard fare. We were very pleasantly surprised that we were treated to a wonderfully flavorful and quality dinner. From the appetizer to the desert, everything was excellent, and we would recommend this Tavern very highly. We will be back for sure to try their every-day menu.

    The food was delicious, and plenty of it. This was our third trip to Williamsburg, and we’ve had dinner at several of the Colonial restaurants but Christiana’s was the best. The baked Oysters were excellent, after five hours I’m still thinking about them. My wife had the Turkey and I Roast Beef, both were moist and cooked to perfection. The sides were Mashed Potato and Stuffing, both delicious. FYI: The Stuffing was to die for. Some how we found room for dessert. Chocolate Cake, Apple Pie. Still thinking about them too. Thank you Christiana Campbells and your staff for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    Our Thanksgiving meal was delicious, however we felt a bit rushed to finish and leave in order for the next guests to be seated. Since we were required to pay in advance for the meal, it would have been nice to relax and enjoy our family time together.

    It was wonderful. It is my special place for special occasions. Service was excellent, food wonderful and was even entertained by a performer playing a replica period instrument.

    Incredibly overpriced, mediocre meal that had no charm or feeling of history as your meals are delivered in metal covered dishes that loudly bang and clang before being put on your table. So disappointing
