Shields Tavern Colonial Williamsburg

We had the good fortune to eat a meal at Shields Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. this is a restaurant in a tavern from the 1700s that serves 18th century "inspired" food that the likes of George Washington might have eaten.

 Starting with a tasty locally brewed beer

I tasted some of this 

"Mr. Shields’ Apple Salat—Season Greens with chopped Apples, Blue Cheese, Golden Raisins, and

spiced Pecans with English Malt-Vinaigrette"

It was very tasty

My son went with the "Carolina-Style Barbecue Sandwich" and said it was some of the best he has had.

This is my "Roast Beef Swiss Dip" delicious comes to mind, a little heavy on the onions but they were good too.

Desert was the yummy "Caramel Apple Pie"

We even had some live music

I noticed Shields tavern has dinner plays on certain nights, we did not try that but it sounds interesting.

I would like to go back and spend more time exploring the history here, but I imagine a lot of people say that and then rush off to Busch gardens.

Busch Gardens and Water Country Williamsburg

Busch Gardens is known and one of the cleanest regional parks with some of the best food, it is also a self proclaimed Worlds most beautiful park.

I give this park a high score in all three of these areas. We tried a Ice Cream shoppe called Josephine's "Creamery de Chocolat" that has a nice selection of sundaes.

 We had a delicious old fashioned banana split.

We had plans on trying Trapper’s Smokehouse which has very good reviews but did not make it this trip but here are a few pics.

We had to try Das Festhaus and see the show while we ate.

If you go here ask at the ticket booth or the cust relations booth for a pre pay dining option. We were givin a deal that is not advertised for around $17 we got the entree, 2 sides and a drink. It is really a good deal if you get the 16.99 platter.

The food was good here although the ribs were a little tough, there was a lot of meat on them

We did not have a meal at Water Country, but it did look like they had some good options, like Chicken and funnel cake, or create your own Salad.

If you go I hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did. I like roller coaster and there are plenty of good ones here as well as a great dark ride.
