Sunken Well Tavern 720 Littlepage Street, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

"The Sunken Well has hands down the best burger in the’Burg. The menu is varied but I can’t help but get the dirty burger every time and I’m never disappointed. The burger is cooked to perfection. Thick and juicy. The chili is awesome (delicious on its own) and the onion rings are crispy and delicious. (Best I’ve had also) The wait staff is always friendly. I ride my motorcycle all over the state looking for great burgers and this one is my all time favorites."

"First time coming here after hearing good things and wow, Very impressed! I had the eggs on jersey with Taylor ham! (Can’t usually find in VA) and my boyfriend got the country fried steak. Then we had to try the soup of the day Cajun chowder (which is pictured after we already ate some. ) I’m absolutely coming back and bringing people! Brandon was our waiter and he was awesome!"

"Great small town local eatery! The food was great quality at a reasonable price for downtown. I got the Chicken Sesame Salad and it had great taste and presentation. It is a small place, so not ideal for those who aren't comfortable being close with others. I did see that they brought out a coloring book and crayons for a child in another party. The onion rings are fantastic here!"

"My roommate and I stopped by here on a whim not knowing anything about the place...Oh boy did we stumble upon a local treasure. Sunken Well Tavern is probably one of the BEST restaurants in town. The food was delicious, the wait staff were all very pleasant, and the restaurant itself is very cozy and clean. I also thoroughly enjoyed the funny decorations hanging on the walls, bonus points for creativity. However, the best part of our visit to the Sunken Well Tavern was the incredible live music. I didn't get the name of the band, but they were singing bluegrass the way it was meant to be sung! I will definitely be bringing my family here sometime to enjoy this hidden treasure in town."

"We had our dog with us and wanted a dog-friendly place. While Sunken Well has a nice outdoor garden-style area, it had just rained. Luckily, they had two tables out front under their awning. Folks were nice, service was attentive, food was totally amazing. I had a huge cheese burger and really stellar onion rings. We started with kom pau brussel sprouts, YUM. We also had the crispy chicken salad, another hit! The Sunken Wall is in a neighborhood near Mary Washington University."
