Walker's Dam Grill

After reading reviews we were looking forward to going. The place has great potential with it's location but the food,not so much!Please limit your menu and learn how to do a much better job at cooking what you do focus on. Everything was over salted and so disappointing and mediocre! Surely they can set the bar higher and do better! We will not be back.

I'll admit I was skeptical, but the pizza was really good, and the salad was so fresh and delicious. I'm super picky about salads too.

For being at campground I didn't expect the food to be this delicious. One of the best Italian seafood dishes I have ever had. Cute little restaurant. I recommend trying it out. A lot of choices on the menu if you don't like seafood like I do.

We are locals and found this the first time on Groupon. It is now our "special occasion" go to for the best meals we have ever had. We have taken our out of town children with their kids, and they agree. We're retired and on a budget or we would be there once a week. Ditto about the outdated interior and limited seating inside. VERY CASUAL DRESS! No debit/credit cards, but they have an ATM which of course carries a fee for that service. The servers are outstanding and we always look forward to their house salad and garlic knots. Hope you try them out. Enough reviews here to let you know not to expect a "FINE DINING" atmosphererequiring suit and tie. THE FOOD IS THE STAR!!!!!

This is literally 5 star food in a 1 star location. Now don't get me wrong being located on a campground is one thing, but the ambiance gives you the feel of a high school lunch room too. (Oh did I mention that they do not accept credit cards..cash only) My wife and I came in this place with a suit and dress just by viewing the menu online alone. Also you must walk through a small rickadee door to enter this restaurant. (Be careful going through the 1st door will send you to the general store) As we were eating I saw a huge cat walk across the outside patio. Perhaps it maybe a local cat.Now with that being said I must say that this is absolutely the best food in this area by far. I had the porterhouse steak, and it was amazing. I may have tasted one better in my lifetime and that porterhouse was almost two hundred dollars while this is under thirty dollars. My wife had the stuffed crab ravioli. It was delicious also. The garlic knots were a little hard at 1st, but the 2nd batch was on point. The staff was also delightful and kind. I recommend Walkers Dam Grill for its amazing food. (Shorts and T shirts recommended)

We were staying at a resort in Williamsburg and read great reviews about the food, so we decided to take the 30 minute trip. The place is located on a campground and is pretty rundown. The hostess is not very pleasant and we had to walk through the serving station to get to our table. The biggest issue was the sweltering temperature inside the restaurant. It was at least 85 degrees inside, and although our server told us that the A/C was indeed on, there is no way I would have stayed if we didn't have four hungry kids with us and we'd just driven 30 minutes to get here. So we settled in, very uncomfortably, and prayed the food would be worth it.The kids' meals were inexpensive (four bucks for pasta) and passable. The adults ordered eggplant rollatine and a caprese salad. The salad was a giant platter of mozzarella slices (average), tomatoes (underripe by at least a few days), artichoke hearts (canned), two types of olives (tasty), and a few roasted peppers (tasted homemade). Now onto the star, which was the eggplant rollatine. It was literally the best version of this dish that I've ever had. The ricotta was divine, the sauce perfectly spiced, and the eggplant delicate and delicious. Based on this dish, I can see why people would want to make the trek to this offbeat spot. I can't truky recommend this place because of the horrid heat and the dirtiness of the kitchen (which can be clearly seen when you enter the door, since the kitchen door was propped open due to the heat). Our server was a total sweetheart, and confided that the owner of the building refuses to fix the A/C due to the cost. However, the eggplant dish was a standout. If you're willing to make the trip to a campground to find it, don't mind the sweltering heat inside the restaurant, and can deal with a dirty kitchen, then you are in for a treat with most of the food items.

Fantastic Italian food!! The service was friendly and polite. The garlic knots were delicious and came out hot. The Italian salad was fresh and the Italian dressing was just right on the salad. My husband and I shared a penne pasta dish and my parents shared the lobster ravioli. Everything was hot and delicious. It was so good that we decided to try dessert. We all shared the tiramisu. It was fantastic!! I haven't had tiramisu like that in many many years. This place does take credit cards even though their signs say they don't. Just call ahead because she did tell us the wifi is iffy sometimes and when the wifi is down they can't process the cards. This place is also out of the way but it is worth making the trek to get there. This is a must go to if you're in the area. We will be back!

Like many have mentioned, this is in quite a bizarre location for a restaurant. It's in a camp ground/trailer park and right on the river.The appetizers are all quite good, from the seafood soup to the garlic bread. There's not many restaurants where I'll consistently order the same thing; however, in this case the phrase "if the machine ain't broke don't fix it." I always ordered the rack of lamb. I always got it medium rare and it was perfect. The seasoning was a mixture of spices that I couldn't name except basil. The spinach and greens made the meal perfectly balanced.I'd highly suggest this restaurant to everyone in the Williamsburg area, it's better than 95% of all restaurants in the New Kent/Williamsburg region.

This was our first visit to Walker's. First the good news, we started off with the stuffed mushrooms appetizer. Excellent. The salad was delicious (the house dressing is all they offer but it is very good). My husband's main course, Chicken Limone, was excellent. I ordered Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli with Bolognese Sauce. It was okay but not hot.Now for the bad. Since we were celebrating my husband's birthday, I made reservations for 6 pm on Saturday. We were seated in the corner booth with me facing the A/C intake. This was not a pleasant site because it was extremely dirty. In fact I could see black dust hanging off of my husband's bench. That sort of ruined the dinner for me. One wonders what the kitchen looks like. After we were seated I could see that there were plenty of seats on the patio and it was a lovely evening. If cleanliness is important to you I suggest you say something to the owners. The food is good and this is a popular spot so I don't want to discourage anyone from going. But I will think twice before returning.

First, it was weird having an Italian restuarant on a lake that is a camp ground.The house salad was good and the garlic knots.Out of the four in the group, two were satisfied with their food, but those two eat anything. The other two in group had not so good time with food. I had the soup and it was SALTY, which othrrs in group confirmed. Informed server and all she did was smile and say sorry. It still made it on my check at the end.The other meal was tasteless and fish had too many bones...This place is a hit or miss.
