About Yorktown Pub
What a great stop after a day touring Yorktown Battlefields. The fish of the day was Halibut. The fried shrimp said it was hand breaded. So I was torn and got both! The green beans had some nice zip to them. I went blackened on my fish and it was delicious. The crab dip was a hearty helping and worth the price. I highly recommend to any tourist this low key stop. My wife took video of the noises I made enjoying my food! They are not publicly available at this time! 😉
We ate there one day and went out of our way the next day to go back. Service is good, parking is ok, but we walked from the shuttle stop. The bacon cheeseburger is great and is very thick like burgers used to be. The fried mushrooms were fresh and crisp with a side of ranch. It can be a bit noisy, but it IS a pub.
It's been a while since we visited Yorktown. Yesterday we returned, and that means lunch at the Yorktown Pub. The pub is a local place with local seafood, a rarity in the USA these days. My wife and grandkids enjoyed the Bang Fish Tacos. The spicy sauce on the fish was popular. The fries were quite crispy and flavorful. I had a dinner of York River oysters. These oysters are succulent and flavorful. The oysters are also large. I enjoyed them a lot. I'm looking forward to returning.
For starters, this place is in a great location in a historic area and right on the beach. There was some sort of musical event nearby when we stopped by. Parking out front seems somewhat limited, and they appear to be vigilant about enforcing it, so I don't recommend you park and go to the beach before or after. There are probably nearby public spaces, but we didn't look into it. I wish we had more time, but we were just passing through. The food was good. The hamburger was tasty, and they had ample seafood options. The calamari was on the special menu (should be a regular item), and I regret not trying it as it had banana peppers and Thai chili sauce which is right up my alley.
Been coming here since first getting stationed here back in the 80’s. The location, food, drink, atmosphere and staff are all top notch. Probably my favorite eating/drinking establishment in the Tidewater area over the 40 years I’ve been coming here - Love it.
