Jamestown Settlement Cafe

Jamestown Settlement Cafe is a great spot to grab a bite to eat after touring the grounds. The cafe is well signed, staffed and has a selection of food for everyone in your group. This cafe also accommodates large groups with a set menu!

We were able to talk to the presenters and ask questions because of low attendance, probably due to the time of year. The outdoor exhibits are fun and interactive, and the exhibition halls inside are so informative. The staff was also personable and helpful too. We were in the halls indoors for a couple of hours and no lines or crowds at all, so it felt like we had the galleries to ourselves. We still didn't read everything even with no waiting. This is a wonderful place to visit and learn about American history.

The food was excellent! The grill was about to close at 4:00 PM and the chefs cooked up a feast for us. I am amazed that the prices are still reasonable in the wake of skyrocketing food prices due to supply chain shortages since the museum has a captive audience. This normally means outrageous prices similar to what you would experience in a airport while traveling. Between the (11) people, we pretty much had everything from burgers, Eastern NC style BBQ, fried fish, and pizza for about $103. That’s a little under $10 a person for those keeping score. That’s with no drinks. I would come here just to eat if I was in the area. Well done JS Cafe!!

The thought and expertise put into putting this museum together is outstanding. Multi dimensonicial, multi screen video presentations are not to be missed. Great exhibition of artifacts. Start at the first room and progress chronologically. The outside exhibition of the Indian village and Jamestown settlement are supplemented by period costumed, knowledgeable reinactors. Outside, on the water of the replicas of the three ships that brought the settlers to the American shore. All guides answer all your questions. Highlight of my seven day visit.

Some of the BEST pizza we've had! Seriously! We had a 16" supreme and the flavors were spot on and they weren't skimpy on the toppings. Yummy 😋
