Retro's Good Eats in Colonial Williamsburg | Burgers, French Fries, Milkshakes & A Whole Lot More!
Story Description:
Hanging out with family for the weekend, we decided to break away for a midday lunch at Retro’s Good Eats in Colonial Williamsburg. This charming 50s-style diner is tucked just off the heart of the city on a short street called Prince George Street, which runs parallel to the Merchants Square side of Duke of Gloucester Street.
From the moment you approach, the exterior signage gives a clear hint of the roughly Top 10 popular menu items waiting inside. Of course, we took a glance at the full menu, but on this clear, cool winter afternoon in Williamsburg, Virginia, we had one thing on our minds. Yes, cheeseburgers and French fries, paired with freshly squeezed lemonade to wash it all down.
