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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Christiana Campbell's Tavern offers a delightful blend of history and dining in Colonial Williamsburg. Guests rave about its "fantastic atmosphere" and "delicious food," with standout dishes like the seafood pye and crab cakes. The live period music and attentive service from staff like Timothy and Amanda enhance the experience, making it a must-visit for both history buffs and food lovers. However, be prepared for a "pricey" menu, and check options in advance for kids or specific dietary needs. Overall, it's a memorable step back in time with culinary charm.

    While the quality of the food is not commensurate with the price, I still recommend this restaurant, to persons visiting Colonial Williamsburg. Tonight, enjoyed the" Christmas experience", a prix fix, prepaid holiday dining event. The crabcake starter was flavorful but a tad overcooked. The sirloin main course was definitely overcooked and just saved by the au jus base. Mashed potatoes and the spoon bread were the highlights. In spite of a lackluster meal, the evening felt festive and included a brief performance by a celtic harpist who entertained us with a few christmas pieces. The servers, dressed in period costumes, were friendly and food delivery was prompt.

    A last minute trip to Williamsburg I’m sure we got the very last and latest reservation available on a busy Grand illumination weekend. We were seated in the basement which doesn’t have the same ambience as the main dining room, but we at least had one visit from the entertainment during our meal. Pre Fixe dinner was just ok for the high, prepaid price tag but our server was very pleasant.

    Alexis was incredible and the best! Had a small issue with steak temp but went above board to make it right. Can't beat dinner by candlelight and a roving balladeer plus a great server with an even better attitude. 💯

    As always, the food was fantastic and entertainment superb. Heather did a great job taking care of us and making sure we were happy and cared for, which was even more amazing considering it was the last night of Grand Illumination and extremely busy. Flawless experience!
