DoG Street Pub

Stop in for a drink and stayed for dinner.There is more than the food we remember about our visit here. It was late afternoon and early evening and another time when the original intent gave way to a better and more enjoyable afternoon.We had been doing a bit of touisting during the day and went looking for an afternoon 'sit down' and then find dinner. The AMBIENCE sold us. We sat at an outer window and watched the people go by, locals and many times obviously not-local.At one point there was an organized run, not a competition but organised in a casual manner. Numerous people were out walking their dogs, who being a dog person I always notice.I was able to locate another beer to my taste and my wife a cocktail. Dinner was Shepard's Pie for both of us, a favorite when we find it and I will make it at home also.The dinner tasted very good! An observation we both made was an abundance of mashed potato. There was potato on the bottom of the plate, the meat seasoned and tasting really good, and then another greater amount of potato on the top.For us this is a frequent, not complaint, but observation and certainly not in what I believe is the traditional way to is cooked. We simply dug the meat off the top of the bottom layer and ate our meal.It didn't interfere in the enjoyment of our dinner nor the flavor. We simply don't like that amount of mashed potato in ratio to the meat.Would we return if given the chance? Certainly and asking for a window or outside table. We might try one of the other Irish oriented items.....Bangers and Mash? maybe?

I was surprised by this establishment. It was a nice evening so we got a table outside, which was very nice. They did put pork in a lot of their items, which made it a little bit difficult to decide since neither of us eat pork. My sister really liked her chili, which honestly could be a meal on its own. I tried the cheese dip with naan and it was very good. I was very disappointed in my corned beef brisket sandwich. I saw photos on here where it had tons of meat and looked great, but this sandwich barely had any meat at all. I actually took out all the toppings from one half and put it on the other, eating it as a half sandwich - and it wasn't very full still. My sister got the chicken Caesar wrap, which she said was pretty good.For a drink I got the Pimm's cup, which I felt was one of the best I've had. I even went to a Pimm's bar and this one I liked more. Would I go back? Yes! I would just not recommend the sandwich I got.

DoG Street Pub is a bank-turned-restaurant located in the heart of Merchant's Square. It has such a charming atmosphere with a rich history! We stopped by for a quick lunch during our day trip to Colonial Williamsburg, and it was a delicious break from the mid-day heat! The menu offers mainly British cuisine like Shepard's pie and fish and chips, but I took the American route and ordered the chicken wings. I loved the crispiness of the chicken skin and the buffalo dipping sauce. My sister loved her Cesar chicken wrap, with her favorite part being the sun dried tomato/basil tortilla. My mom tried the Rail Sandwich, which is one of the most popular dishes at the DoG. She especially enjoyed the sourdough bread and the unique toppings on the sandwich!DoG is equipped with a full bar, and it also serves flavored teas/lemonades, San Pellegrino, and Coke products. What really made DoG a 5-star experience was the service from our waiter, Yusuf. He was really one of the most polite and enthusiastic people I've ever met! He told us the history of the restaurant, gave us an overview of the best items on the menu, and showed his commitment to allergy-friendliness when someone in the party next to us said she had an onion allergy. Yusuf was amazing, and I would honestly come back to DoG just to see him again!

Delicious pub in a fantastic location! Stopped here for dinner on my recent trip to Williamsburg. I ordered the roasted chicken dinner and it was good! Service was good! Loved the atmosphere! Portion sizes are literally insane! Would stop here again!

Popular spot, solid food. This place was packed on a weekend, but we were lucky enough to get a seat after a wait. Service was a a bit slow, but that was likely reflective of the dinner time rush on a Saturday night. I decided to try a beer that mimicked the recipes used in colonial times. It was delicious and very fun to try! The fish and chips were tasty. The fish was moist and the fries were fairly standard. For the price, I would have expected a larger portion. The space was a bit cramped and the chairs sometimes made grating metallic noises on the floor. But it had the charm of a downtown pub that more than made up for those shortcomings. Overall, this is a great option for a downtown Colonial Williamsburg meal!

Just a quick visit, they were incredibly busy, but despite being so, the service was great. There was a special event in town today (Lafayette 200 yr anniversary of his 1824 visit), so the town is slammed. I was attended to promptly, and seated, and waited on quickly. I had one of their IPAs, which was a special version brewed in honor of Homecoming for William and Mary, and I had the beer cheese appetizer. Both were great! Prices were reasonable. Restaurant was noisy, which is to be expected of a pub. Outdoor seating available. I would definitely return.

First stop in, in ages, and just like I remember.For me this was always one of the og spots for craft beer in Williamsburg. They have a respectable amount of taps (16) with local variety and also stock a pretty broad array of cans and bottles. This particular trip I had a 2017 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. Also tried a couple sours and wheat beers in a flight a friend grabbed.Not a beer fan? They have a full bar and wine.Overall, feels like an upscale version of a traditional pub you'd see in a movie. Fits Williamsburg's vibe very well. Food wise, again pub style. Burgers and sandwiches, salads, and pub favorites - fish and chips, shepherds pie, bangers and mash. I went with the Stout Chili which was surprisingly large for a starter but packed with flavor.They also have a limited but cute patio space and last but not least, staff is always super attentive and upbeat.Definitely recommend.

On vacation and decided to grab a small bite to eat here. Was seated immediately in the back. Our server was with us in good time with water and gave us more time to look over menu. My wife ordered a bowl of split peas with shaved corned beef on top which she enjoyed. I ordered the chili dog with onion and cheese. This dog is a grilled foot long on a 8" hoagie roll. Ve filling and good. The food was good and we were checked on several time during our meal.

Delicious food with great service! Have been here several times and the food is spot on every time. They have some of the best appetizers, just delicious. The Ruben croquettes are to die for, unique and just delicious. And please try the stout chili, chicken tiki masala dip and beer cheese. Sandwiches we tried, truly enjoyed, and recommend: corned beef brisket, amazing; fried eggplant, unique and very flavorful; honey ham and cheddar, simple but so good, the bread is key; dog street and lamb burgers, the tzatziki sauce on it was so good. Very cozy atmosphere as well, definitely feels like an authentic pub.

Located conveniently just outside of the main drag of colonial Williamsburg, this cute little restaurant is serving up "British food with an American twist." And I would say they're doing exactly that!The cocktails here are absolutely absolutely wonderful, and the food is like nothing I've ever had before. The fusion of American cuisine with traditional British fair is really interesting and something I didn't know I needed. They have a really lovely outdoor patio to enjoy the nice Virginia evenings, and the wait staff is excellent. If you were looking for some thing on the more inexpensive side of dining in Williamsburg, I definitely recommend checking out dog!
