This is such a gem in Williamsburg. The service was great, the drinks were delicious, the food was good.... except they put cilantro as a garnish on everything we ordered. I hate cilantro and will always ask to keep it off a meal, if its listed. The mussels frites I ordered had literally an ungodly amount of cilantro on top... which was not mentioned on the menu. The fondue had cilantro on top, the cornbread had cilantro on top. Cilantro is not a garnish. Once, I picked it all off... everything was great.

Nick and his staff have created a welcoming atmosphere and food/service was 10/10. I had the cheeky grill cheese, Mac and cheese (Carls way), and side salad. Everything was on point.

We stopped here on our way through and it’s definitely worth the little drive off the highway. The staff was so loving and kind to our toddler. They were attentive, the food was awesome! The whole place is a vibe. I HIGHLY recommend.

Great fresh food. Fried green tomatoes were the best I've had in the East TN/KY area. Notably comfy bar stools too.

Atmosphere is great, service was exceptional! I had the fried oyster po' boy. To be fair, the oysters- although fresh and with a golden flakey breading- were eclipsed a bit by one of Chef Nick's spectacular sauces. My server seemed to really love her job and spoke with enthusiasm about the menu, especially dessert. Good food and true service are rare, so I will definitely be back.

Southern sophisticated experience! Be prepared to pay a bit more for dinner than you would at a typical restaurant.

JUST GO. we were driving through from Atlanta to Ohio and I googled where to have dinner. it was FANTASTIC food, cocktails and service. less than 2 miles off the highway and a real respite. real quality food. if you are the type of person who seeks out something other than fast food you will be pleasantly surprised. we will be back.

We got off the highway looking for a bite to eat, not expecting anything special in such a small town. We went to the Hunt and Harvest, and we were blown away. Everyone we ate was delicious. Our waitress was great. And the decor was amazing.

The Hunt & The Harvest, nestled in the heart of Williamsburg, Kentucky, offers a dining experience that blends fresh, thoughtfully crafted dishes with warm, inviting service. This local gem is a place where the atmosphere buzzes with comfort and charm—a true reflection of the care put into every plate.

Chef Nick and his team have built a menu that highlights southern staples with a modern twist. The fried green tomatoes stand out as some of the best in the East Tennessee and Kentucky region—crispy, tangy, and perfectly balanced. Dishes like the fried oyster po’ boy showcase fresh seafood enhanced by boldly flavorful sauces, demonstrating a mastery of both quality and seasoning.

The vibe here is laid-back yet lively, with a bar that’s as inviting as the dining room, complete with notably comfortable stools that keep you lingering for just one more round. Service shines as much as the food; attentive and genuine staff turn a meal into a memorable occasion, even welcoming families with toddlers with equal warmth.

That said, diners sensitive to cilantro should take note: several dishes and garnishes feature it prominently. While some guests might find this herb overpowering when unannounced, the kitchen’s passion for fresh and vibrant ingredients is clear. Removing the cilantro, a reviewer found the dishes exceptional, which speaks to the kitchen’s ability to craft delicious and well-balanced meals.

Overall, The Hunt & The Harvest is a destination worth veering off the highway for—a place where fresh ingredients, creative recipes, and heartfelt hospitality come together to create a true taste of the region with a contemporary edge.
