Story

Food For Thought is a family restaurant in Williamsburg, Virginia, that’s as engaging for the mind as it is for the senses. Surrounded by quotes and images of inventors, scientists, and social leaders, our atmosphere aims to inspire families and encourage discussion over wholesome, delicious food.
Food For Thought’s menu is as diverse as the great thinkers themselves. Our diner’s choices vary from American classics, ethnic dishes, healthy vegetarian options, or one of our nightly seafood specialties. The foundation of our menu is built upon American staples like our famous Fork Tender Pot Roast, Grandma’s Meatloaf, and “fall off the bones” ribs. America grew up on these meals, and we love paying homage to our country’s past. To complement these favorites, we added some newer, more contemporary flavors and ideas like Pad Thai, Jamaican jerk chicken, flavored butters, and original vegetarian dishes. To ensure everyone finds something they love, we also provide a gluten-free menu, a kid’s menu (with healthy options!) and our “Magic 55” senior’s menu. Our food is prepared with love and served with pride.

A truly wonderful meal is a combination of good food and good conversation -- so talk about the special people featured here. Talk about the contributions that these people have made to the world! Have a meaningful conversation about how everyone can be great in his or her own way.

Excellent food and service!!!! My child has food allergies and I was super impressed at their attention to this. The waitress and manager looked into every item we wanted to order to be sure it was safe. All of our meals were excellent. My child was able to order dessert for the first time in a restaurant because of their attention to food allergies. You will wait for a while if you don't arrive super early but it's worth it.

5 stars for Food for Thought! Our dinners were exceptional! I had the Salmon with apple salsa asparagus and sweet potato fries! WOW every part of this meal made me happy. The apple salsa paired perfectly and the sauce for the sweet potato fries was so delicious I tried it with the Salmon and oh my! Yummy! My husband had bacon wrapped scallops and the sauce again perfectly paired!!! They were so good he never offered to share. That has never happened. Our waitress was training, both girls were fantastic and attentive. Although the place was pretty busy we had no wait to be seated and the food came out quickly and hot. Definitely recommend

Meal was great. Service was wonderful. I ordered the plate with both meatloaf and their pot roast because they both sounded great and I was not disappointed. Both were very flavorful and fall apart with a fork tender. I got the asparagus and I don’t know what was in the sauce that they put on it but it was awesome. And 3 out of the 4 people in my group ordered the sweet potato fries and all but one fry was eaten and the only reason that one fry wasn’t eaten was because it had fallen on the floor and been picked pack up. Those fries are amazing. Definitely don’t pass them up if you like sweet potatoes at all. The only reasons I can not give this restaurant five stars is because when they are busy which is most of the time their parking lot is packed and it is to small for the restaurant. The only other reason I have is both times I have been there there has been a mix up in plates, not a big deal as they where extremely apologetic and fixed it immediately both times.

Excellent service and amazing food. This was my first time visiting Food for Thought. The server was very friendly and very helpful with helping me decide what to get. There's a very joyful and lively environment here. The manager comes out to personal introduce and meet first time patrons which was a very nice touch. The food was a little pricey but so worth it. I'd recommend this place all day and night because everyone really needs to try it.

Overall, I think the place is awesome. It is the perfect place to bring the family or a large group of friends to enjoy a night of fun. I really was digging the atmosphere as well. That being said, I went on a date with my fiance here and it was a bit loud. The food is fantastic but it's definitely fit for a large night out type of setting. What really killed the intimacy was the fact that the two of us ended up setting at a table for 6 by our selves. So again, while my experience wasn't the best I highly recommend "Food For Thought" if you are looking to have a fun time with friends and family!
