Dale House Cafe

We discovered the café by accident, and were pleased with the offerings. The menu is not overwhelming, but it’s all you need. We had the North Carolina barbecue and the turkey sandwich with brie on a cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. The barbecue is juicy and good quality, not at all commercial tasting. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the service was fast. They have lots of homemade sweets if you like that. The seating by the water is lovely.

Good spot (warning it is a slight walk from the parking lot behind the visitor center). I had the turkey brie sandwich with apple and cranberries on the sandwich. The bread was cinnamon swirl. Great sandwich for stuff you think would not go together. The devil egg potato salad was very delicious.

Visited historic jamestowne in December 2022, week between Christmas and New Years. Was pretty deserted at opening but got busy pretty quickly. The dale house cafe on property actual had reasonable priced food. We didn't but any because we already had food plans but some of the items sounded good and also baked goods. I've included pictures of some items and the menu. I would consider eating here in the future if I visited again.

This was an absolutely brilliant cafe! Hot chocolate was a pleasant treat after a thrilling, unexpected, quite enjoyable and educational guided tour with Mr. Tom Patton from Aldrich Bed & Breakfast. The cafe offers excellent choices of sandwiches, a variety of snacks and other hot beverages that hit the spot on any cold winter day or well just any day you may have an opportunity to visit this once in a LIFETIME IN THE MAKING HISTORY… during three tour met archeologists who were actually digging for over 400+ artifacts from the original settlements of the English at Fort Jamestown! We actually witnessed the findings too! WOW! Was also blessed to witness use of new ground penetrating identification technology being used to fine areas where they should dig next! AMAZING! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

*Small warning* this is not a roadside restaurant it’s within Historic Jamestowne! The employees were friendly as heck and the food was pretty good too! Had the Special Wrap of the Day: “Black beans, Chickpeas, in a Chipotle Ranch sauce w/peppers, onions, Cheddar cheese and tomatoes all wrapped in a warm tortilla.”The side was a double Egg Potato Salad. Definitely not your standard “Tourist trap food fair!”
