Went here for wine & dine. I was not the host. Arrived and was told they couldn't seat us until the entire party was there. Twenty people were coming. I suggested that they couldn't possibly want this many people in foyer until all arrived. Young lady should have consulted management about it but didn't. We knew where we were supposed... More

Food and service were far above average for a touristy place like Willimsburg, VA. The burger was just wonderful, and wife had the scallops which were tasteee.

We literally just came back to our hotel from Second St and I had to write a review. If you are in Williamsburg you MUST go here. First, the atmosphere is great, a little dim, but very airy and open. You do not feel cramped. The waitress was very attentive, she recommended certain dishes she has tried which was very... More

It is really just an average neighborhood place, easy to meet someone for lunch, but the food is quite ordinary.

My wife and I recently went to Second St. with our 2 year old and was able to have a great time. The food was simple great. Some of the best food that we have had in our week in the area. The service (our waitress was Patti) was great and attentive. We never felt that our daughter was not... More

I ordered the burger with cheddar and a side of onion rings, my wife decided on the goat cheese - strawberry - pecan salad. Both were very good with very attentive service.

I'm a foodie and dislike anything remotely like a chain restaurant. That said, I have children (4 and 6) so when traveling, it can be slim pickings. Second Street turned out to be a perfect mix of nice, but also family friendly. Our waitress, Lacy, was fantastic. She was incredibly attentive and understood that timing is everything when eating with... More

We loved Second St. so much we returned the next night of our stay in Williamsburg too! First night, Lacey was our server, 2nd night it was Mary. Both were knowledgable of the menu and steared us to great choices! We enjoyed some traditional "southern" food of fried green tomatoes, fried oysters (very sweet), shrimp & grits (divine). My husband... More

This was our third time to indulge in Second Street's goodies, and we were not disappointed. It was hot, so we ate inside (nice porch outside for good weather) today. Our server Lacey took great care of us--she is top-notch. I tried the turkey panini and found it delectable. My wife had a turkey burger and was very happy with... More
