    The service was friendly, proactive and helpful. The food was outstanding. The building is Hopper-esque. They have a tight, focused menu and the only dish that appealed to me was sold out at 7.30pm on a Sunday. Sadly. So i had biscuits and gravy. Outstanding gravy. Not a fan of biscuits, they looked awesome though! I would definitely take a southerners there again.

    Everything was delicious and the service was great, the chicken biscuit was especially good. Our favourite side was the definitely the collards. Very glad I got a cinnamon roll to go! For sure will be back on a future visit to Williamsburg.

    Come for the chicken stay for the pie. I got the chicken and waffles, it's bone in chicken very crispy taste great. The waffles are soft and come with some cinnamon butter and blueberries. I had never had c&w with blueberries but it adds such a nice flavor. I also got a slice of apple pie warmed up with ice cream. The apple pie is fresh and full of flavor, just the right amount of food not huge plates or huge slice. The rest of their pastries and menu look just as good, will be back and trying the biscuits.

    Classic diner atmosphere with good beverages and desserts. We got the vegetarian “chicken” biscuit and three sides - coleslaw, black eyed peas, and mac n cheese. The biscuit on which the chicken sandwich was served was hot and delicious, and it was dressed with a honey butter and hot sauce. The sides were good as well, though the mac n cheese was nothing to write home about. The real reason we came was the banana cream pie which was incredible - a perfect dessert. We also had a cup of coffee and the sour cherry lemonade.

    Pies’n’Thighs is one of the best spots in Williamsburg for southern comfort food, handmade pastries and local craft beer. Their cinnamon roll is incredible - chefs kiss! It’s soft, buttery, you can tell they’re fresh from that morning - think Cinnabon but better. I’m always down for a sweet treat and everything here hits - the pies, the pecan crunch donut, ugh everything is just so good when it’s made from scratch and so much care. The Hippie Banjo for brunch (hello Sprouts!) and the Fried Catfish Plate are my other favorites. I love their sandwich bread (pro tip I think you can buy it) and the tarter sauce for that catfish is perfection. They also carry really good local craft beer from other half, evil twin and Grimm, which makes dinner and weekend brunch even better. The staff is always friendly and knowledgable- they know exactly what to recommend- the GM even told Me about their new ice cream shop, Heap’s Ice Cream ,where they use Pies’n’Thighs pastries for ice cream sandwiches (like what, def going next time) Last week I tried the chicken tenders (I think they’re only in house) and they were juicy, crunchy and full of flavor. The sauces were great too but I’m a Ranch girl through and through. The food and drinks give an elevated vibe at night, but it’s also the perfect cozy bakery to stop for coffee and pastries on the way to work. I highly recommend Pies’n’Thighs - good food, good vibes and the nicest staff.

    I absolutely loved my meal at Pies n’ Thighs! The combination of crispy chicken tenders with the incredible, buttery biscuit was heavenly comfort food. The baked beans were the perfect savory side. I finished with a slice of their pecan pie, which was rich and perfectly sweet. Highly recommend!

    The food that we ordered was mouthwatering and made us feel as though we were in Atlanta instead of Williamsburg. The catfish was flavorful and reminiscent of southern Friday-night fish fry, but boneless. The shoestring fries and cornbread were nice additions, but the black-eyed peas, while ultimately flavorful with a reminiscent tang of Louisiana Tabasco peppers in vinegar, were served cold more like a wet bean salad that a traditional southern side of peas. Absolutely recommend the Palmer! The only negative was that we entered there were no tables and we asked if we could be seated outside. Were were told that even though it was cold out that it was fine and that they would be out to take our order, but after 15 minutes of waiting no one ever came out and when a table opened up it was given to a couple that came in after us. While we were able to get the next table that opened up, we were ultimately not happy with that aspect of our experience at the restaurant and prevents me from leaving 5 stars, though I would be interested in returning the next time I am in the area to see if we have a better experience the next time.
