They were busy and staff seemed overwhelmed. Our server started off friendly promising to bring us popcorn and waters for the table – she never did. Once our food came she did not return to the table until the end of the meal. I let her know that the burger was not edible for me due to being well-done (photos attached). She offered to replace the burger, but my party was already done eating. When I got the bill I asked her why she was charging me for a burger I couldn’t eat. First she tried to tell me I had eaten most of the burger so I needed to pay for it. Then when I showed it to her, she stated she offered a new burger. Great, when we were done eating. Pros: Pimento dip was good, chicken and waffles good. Cons: This place isn’t cheap for what they provided or lacked (our server was incredibly rude trying to insinuate I ate the burger when I did not – I ate 3 bites and the fries. I took a photo.), my burger was way over done, our food took forever to come, our server didn’t check on us, and acted like it was inconvenient when we asked for anything.

We went at around 8:30pm on a Friday and were seated almost immediately. They served us complimentary popcorn for the table. The restaurant was definitely busy and could use an extra waiter or two. Our waitress was very kind though and we didn’t feel too neglected. The food was pretty good. I very much enjoyed the lamb chops. They were seasoned nicely and not over cooked. The portion size was quite large for the lamb chops. We also got the Scallop Mac and Cheese. For me, it was a bit oily, but overall the flavor was nice.

Had a great dinner. The lobster ravioli was delicious and the short ribs were also amazing the young ones had a burger off the kids menu that was sich a huge portion. The Lamb melted in your mouth. And definitely get the pretzel to start things off.

Nice place with good atmosphere that seems to be very dog friendly. Could have been a better experience as the waitress was not friendly at our first interaction. I ordered the North Carolina ribs which looked good at presentation but were very dry and we didn’t think it was worth $23 for only three bones. My wife had the steak that was very tasty and drinks were good as well. A little overpriced and then our server got overly friendly when we got our checked making excuses why service was late and her attitude. Maybe she had an off day.

I had an enjoyable dinner at The Hound’s Tale. I ordered the flank steak and it tasted alright, though I’ve certainly had better. The steak came with delicious truffled fries and sautéed mushroom gravy. What I found very unique was that each table got their own pop corn bowl prior to the meal. As for the staff and service, it was quick and friendly. The prices also weren’t too bad considering this is a tourist heavy area. Overall, I would recommend dining here for a pleasant meal in Colonial Williamsburg.

We were looking forward to visiting The Hounds Tale. Unfortunately the food was not very good. Appetizer: Mac-n-cheese egg rolls were vey good, but cold in the middle. Scallops and Mac-n-cheese was ok but not very flavorful.
