I also have a friend here who knows the owner of a restaurant named "Shorty's" in Williamsburg, but they haven't been there or could provide any details about it.

My wife has eaten there and said it is okay.   Diner type food and open for breakfast/lunch.  Williamsburg is king of breakfast/pancake places.

Thinking out loud to the group... maybe we could start to compile a short list of fun and reasonable $$ places for a group night out..?

Wondering a few things as well. Does this resort deliver breakfast to the condos like they did at Pinehurst? Trying to figure out if we need to do some type of food shopping since we will be late checking in on Thursday due to playing Royal New Kent at 2:00. Inquiring stomachs want to know.

I would eat ice 3x a day as long as we all get to hang out and play golf.  Also, my waistline could probably use the break

@Golfspy_CG2 would need to tell us what was packaged into the bundle.  The packages shown online include breakfast.   I also don't know  if there is a time/date for us to go to HQ.

I'm willing to help put together a list of possibilities.  If we don't get breakfast, there are about a million pancake places.   Also since it is a tourist area there are $-$$$$ type of places.

Y'all had me at pancakes.

Per Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake_house

Some U.S. cities have a significant number of pancake houses. For example, Williamsburg, Virginia, has the highest per capita ratio of waffle and pancake houses in the world.

Thank you for the articles, Chris! Now I'm going to have to look up some of the pancake houses in the area, I've been looking for a place that has some peanut butter pancakes since Parkway Pancakes closed down in Pigeon Forge. They are not healthy and a real sugar buzz, but I like them.

Thanks for sharing this Jamie.

Maybe someone from that area may chime in with some remarks about it, if they visited it?

 

So two of my favorite places for dinner in Williamsburg are  both a bit on the nicer side than diners.  But for dinners I've always loved  Trellis, mainly because of their famous desert Death by Chocolate  and a nice steak  and seafood house right outside the gates of Kingsmill called Whaling Company.

I'm pretty sure our package does not include breakfast, but I'll check on it to be sure.

All this talk of food has me starving right now.

Gee only 106 days of hunger to go.

It was pancake day today!

[GolfSpy SAM]

(Actual footage of @sirchunksalot day 1 of the trip)

The real question is, do they serve crepes (aka: "really thin pancakes")?

For dinner, we should probably go somewhere where this is a cooking method:

Don't forget to say grace before the meal. I'll go first:

 

And at the end of the three days, you'll all see why this has been my motto for 20 years:

It's going to be a pancake massacre, I can throw down on some. I might be all jacked on Mountain Dew afterward. 

I also looked it up and they do have crepes.

Typical breakfast @sirchunksalot Jason?

Asking for those who may also want to partake during the MGS outing.

I do love a traditional breakfast, although to get one we do breakfast for dinner. My wife is not a morning person so most of the time I have breakfast burritos. I get up so early during the week that is the most practical thing for me to do.

Similar to the Full English Breakfast!

2 eggs, sausage links, bacon, blood pudding, cooked tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes, beans, toast with butter and marmalade, orange juice and tea or coffee.  Shoot now I'm hungry again 

Teaser, the Culture Cafe that is 6 miles and 14 minutes from Kingsmill Resort (according to Google Maps) has an English Breakfast for a reasonable price.

Only a couple minutes from where I am staying at according to this map............................... possibly a meet for breakfast could be in the plans

No doubt about it, just gotta decide and you know there is only one real answer.

Besides, we really do want to witness the technique now made famous by the expert and King of the False Turn (and even doing all that feel bad not being able to play as well as you do )(not really)

If it was feasible for me to make it, I absolutely would. Sadly not in the cards for me this year but hopeful for future events!
