Food Truck: Bald Guys Pies – Billsburg
Our focus is Neapolitan style pizzas but once we get our feet wet we will start to break out some Detroit style as well as some other cool stuff. We thrive on lifting up fellow small businesses, and supporting wherever we can, so our veggies will be bought from our neighbors any chance we get, and we use organic flours grown and milled in the USA!

About the Show
Mike DeMoss will be performing live at Surry Seafood Company. Join him for a musical night.
If you’re exploring Williamsburg, Virginia and wondering where all the good vibes are coming from, there’s a solid chance it’s Mike DeMoss holding court with his signature acoustic style. Mike brings the same smooth vocals and easygoing charm he’s known for on the coast, but with a Williamsburg twist—think colonial‑era ambiance meets modern‑day “wow, this guy’s good.” Whether he’s playing on a breezy patio in Merchants Square or moving indoors when Virginia weather decides to be dramatic, Mike’s sets always feel warm, relaxed, and just a little addictive. Locals love him, tourists stumble into a show and instantly become fans, and Williamsburg gets one more reason to brag about its live‑music scene.

On The Water: Surry Seafood Company
The Surry Seafood Company is one of those waterfront gems that feels like it was designed specifically for people who want fresh seafood and a view worth bragging about. Sitting right on Gray’s Creek, the restaurant serves up everything from just‑caught fish to oysters so fresh they practically introduce themselves.
Add in live music drifting across the water, cold drinks, and that laid‑back “this is exactly where I want to be right now” vibe, and you’ve got one of the most relaxing dining spots in the region. Whether you’re on the patio soaking up the sunset or inside enjoying the AC on a steamy Virginia day, the atmosphere hits just right.
And honestly, half the fun is getting there. Taking the free Jamestown‑Scotland Ferry from Williamsburg turns dinner into a mini‑adventure — the kind where you roll down the windows, feel the breeze, and pretend you’re in a Nicholas Sparks movie (minus the drama). The ride is quick, scenic, and surprisingly charming, and when you pull up to Surry Seafood Company on the other side, it feels like you’ve discovered a locals‑only secret. Great food, live music, waterfront views, and a ferry ride that costs exactly zero dollars. That’s a win all the way around.
