I had the calamari, seafood platter with baked potato I personally didn’t like anything we ordered. I did enjoy the peach cheesecake it was the best thing we ordered. The drinks were amazing! So I recommend this place for the dessert and drinks!

This place was recommended as a moderate priced seafood place and I liked it. I had the Grilled Seafood Platter and a beer and sat on the patio. It can get a little bright as the sun sets, however the view is very nice. The service was excellent and the dinner was very good.

Great overall experience…food was fantastic! Crab legs were extremely fresh and some of the best I’ve had in this area. They also had Cobia on the menu!!! It was excellent. Not only that, we had unexpected guest…there was a large pod of dolphins right on the James. The attached images do not even come close to doing the experience justice…but I gave it shot!

The food was mediocre at best. $19.99 for fried shrimp platter. Clearly the owners or cooks aren’t southern because this wasn’t battered and fried like fried shrimp is meant to be. The slaw was shredded cabbage with a creamy something on it but not mixed in. No sweet tea.

The food here at a crab shack on the James is always fresh and very well-seasoned. I highly suggest this place if you want some decent Seafood that isn’t super expensive. It’s a great place for dates. I highly recommend it. I will say the service can be spotty at times when they are busy.

I have been visiting this restaurant when I’m in the area for approximately seven years. I’m so glad they made it through the pandemic. This restaurant checks all the marks. The view is amazing on the outside pier. The infused cocktails were excellent. I always get the slaw with whatever I order. It is the most simple, basic slaw recipe but it is the absolute tastiest slaw I have ever had. It’s like they perfected basic and went with it. But it says a lot for the business because I think they try to do the things they do well. The servers are always friendly. I had to find the location again because I was never the driver so I never paid attention. But this time I have found it, imbedded the name in my memory, and I will be visiting often.

Anytime I travel to this area, I always have dinner here one of the nights during my stay. Fresh seafood, excellent service and great atmosphere! Fantastic views at sunset!

Food was meh, overcooked or left sitting on the hotplate for too long, fish was supposed to have a sauce, but it was all very dry except the stuffed crab inside which was delicious. Crab dip was amazing. I think it might have been the servers first day.

This was our first time eating here and it was amazing! We absolutely loved the food. Our waitress was friendly along with the other staff. That being said there are three things they could improve on 1 being the stall doors in the women’s bathroom do not stay shut bc they don’t lock, 2 the outside tables are extremely sticky bc of the laqur on them and 3 when u order drinks from the bar at a table it takes forever to get your drink and when my husband told the bar tender she said you get drinks quicker if you sit at the bar bc that’s the benefit of eating at the bar. But all in all it was still worth the money.

Our server was fun, good timing for everything, attention was good, view was great too. Late Lunch was on point today we got the blackened salmon sandwich and the grilled salmon on greens and the oysters Rockefeller for appetizer. All delicious. Got the Malibu colada and it was refresher on a steamy hot day today. Highly recommended to visit this place.
