Indian Fields Tavern

The food and service here are phenomenal. Lisa was our server and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. They have a great patio area along with screened in porches. Right off the Capital trail so walkers, bikers and alike can stop in for a refreshing drink and meal.

A bit shaky at first, not sure what was going on but guessing they were just slammed. Out of a few things i kind of wanted but that happens. Got the fried chicken sammich, jeez! The food there was REALLY good. The layout itself is a bit...odd because it's a converted home but it works really well. Definitely recommend!

Great food in beautiful country setting. First time visitors, had the Charles City burger, steak fries for appetizer, & bread pudding with ice-cream for dessert. Enjoyed a concert in the barn by Buckshot VB. We'll definitely be back!

We were going for a drive along Route 5 in Charles City county Virginia. We stopped at Shirley Plantation and on our way back from Lawrence Lewis Jr Park on the James River we saw this neat Bistro on the roadside. The place was hopping from roadside traffic and bicyclists from the Virginia Capital Trail.
We ordered the Blue Crab Rangoon appetizer which was crunchy, hot, fresh and delicious.
I ordered the Tavern Burger, which had a hint of pink (the way I like it), was juicy and very good. My son had the BBQ Dry Rub chicken wings which were seasoned to perfection and were pretty big for wings. My wife got the Charles City Burger and loved the bacon jam on it. The Country Cubano sandwich is OH So delicioso!
Their summer side of Pasta Primavera needed better seasoning and the pasta was a little overdone.
The atmosphere was great on a beautiful day. We ate on the screened porch and was able to hear the live music coming from the patio.
I would highly recommend this place.

We often stop here on our way to NC or on the way back. It's about 45 minutes outside of Williamsburg on John Tyler, which makes it a great date place for a special occasion. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Tonight there were more people than I have ever seen (their overflow parking had overflowed), I was really worried we would be waiting for 30-45 minutes. I honestly don't know how, but we were seated right away and there were still empty tables around. They even were able to accommodate my dog who was in the car traveling with us.

I love how many different types of seating they have-- which is a strange compliment, but they have (non-crowded) indoor seating, a bar, two porches (screened), a patio, and tables on the grass. Tonight there was live music. There is other nights, but I don't know the schedule. However, it's still very intimate and easy to relax.

The food is excellent. They have seasonal dishes and standards. Nothing I have had there has been bad, subpar, or even "just okay." I've always come away thinking, what an amazing chef. The portion sizes are well thought-out and filling and they have a good selection of beers and wines.
