Planning a romantic dinner for two or looking for a pizza to share on the beach with your family? Historic Yorktown has several locally owned restaurants with amazing culinary talent and the menus to showcase it. You're bound to find something for even the pickiest of palates in your group. Our food isn't all that makes our destination unique. Whether you grab a seat overlooking the York River, or get your meal to-go and set up a picnic—you'll find yourself surrounded by beautiful panoramic waterfront views. Be on the lookout for dolphins, stingrays, and a variety of impressive military ships that pass through the channel every day!
Speaking of views, the patios at sister eateries Water Street Grille and Riverwalk Restaurant have some of the best, especially at sunset. Their streamlined single menu features everything from seafood and brick-oven pizzas to gourmet burgers and pasta.
One of the busiest shops—no matter the time of year—is Ben & Jerry’s! It’s no wonder with 36 different flavors and the ability to personalize your order. Get your ice cream scooped into a chocolate-covered waffle cone with sprinkles. Go for a vegan Non-Dairy flavor made with almond milk or sunflower butter! Or ask for an added pump of caramel to go with your hot fudge sundae.
Known to us locals simply as "The Pub" - this beloved spot has been serving some of the best seafood to the community for more than 30 years. You’ll find freshly shucked oysters, amazing crab cakes, and an always delicious "fish of the day" which you can order blackened, broiled, or fried. That's in addition to other specials like their Greek Gyro, Thai Chili Calamari, Clam Strips, and Lobster Rolls.
Life is short; eat dessert first! That’s the motto at Carrot Tree Kitchens where owner Debi and her staff bake cakes fresh from scratch, daily. While they're probably best known for their signature triple-layer carrot cake filled with decadent cream cheese frosting—the bakery serves up a variety of delicious desserts for every palate. With so many options from which to choose, why pick just one? We certainly never do!
