The reviews of Food For Thought are spot on. Although it is located out on Richmond Road, on a busy highway, the food, service, and ambiance more than make up for the location. The menu is very eclectic and interesting, with daily specials in meat entrees, fresh catch, and vegetable sides. The pork pot roast was the most interesting entree...

We traveled with my parents and our two kids to Williamsburg and it is always hard to find restaurants that we all enjoy. This has awesome home-style meals, great choices (not just fried stuff) for kids, perfect portions, and completely acceptable prices. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Having read so much about Food For Thought my friends and I were disappointed when we arrived. I should say that we were all seniors and looking for a quiet night out so on arrival we realized that we had chosen the wrong kind of place. The dining area was full with young adults and families and they were all...

I am sorry you were disappointed with your visit. We try to provide an atmosphere that is conducive to conversation and dialogue. We've tried hard to make the acoustics just right for such an atomosphere. Sometimes Guest's enthusiasm makes it a little loud in some sections of the restaurant. Our Guest demographic is very broad and depends a lot on... more

We came to this restuarant in hopes that the reviews that we saw would not let us down. We were not let down at all! The food was so good, as well as the drinks we had. Our server was a little slow but I could handle that.

We had late lunch here this week based on other TA reviews, and weren't disappointed! Our server was really friendly, and tolerated our 18 month old very well. It wasn't too busy when we went because of the time, so food came out pretty quickly. Hummus plate was a hit with the whole family! Daughter had the kids portion of...

I was reading the reviews on TripAdvisor for a different restaurant(Seafare) and one of the posters had written that the people should park in Seafares parking lot and walk across the street and eat at the food for thought restaurant since their parking lot is always full. They gave seafare a bad review, but raved about 'food for thought'. I...

The family ate here about a month ago and it was phenomenal so my wife and I decided to try it again on "parents night out". It again was spectacular. Started with a local Charlottesville Hefeveizen "Love" beer... was outstanding, smooth, and refreshing with a hint of banana believe it or not (I'm not a fan of banana but this...

My husband and I stopped here during a trip to Williamsburg. I will say that the website didn't prepare me for the atmosphere of the establishment, I expected something more diner like, but it was nothing like that which made me like it more! I truly loved my experience here and it far exceeded my expectations. Our waiter was DJ...

Food For Thought is always the best restaurant experience we have on our annual trips to Historic Williamsburg. There is a large white piece of paper on the table to entertain the kids while the adults eat one of the best meals of their life. The kids menu has reasonably priced ribs and crabcakes!The service is impeccable and the owner...

We went here for dinner. My husband had the pot roast sandwich, I had the side item meal and we split the hummus appetizer. The food and service were both excellent. Bill came to around $30 which I don't consider over priced!
