Love the legs by Kelly R. at InsiderPages

Great Crab legs and service. The waiters dance and it is fun. They have a nice playground for the kids to play at. A nice view. The prices are not to bad but a little pricey. Great drinks too.

Crab Shack by Krystin R. at InsiderPages

The crab shack is an old family favorite. They have a great staff, and if you like seafood, you will love their crab. I would highly recommend the Crab Shack.

Great seafood by April B. at InsiderPages

As a former employee, I will vouch that (when in season) the crabs are always fresh! You just can't beat this view of the James River.

Yelp.com Review - by Jane M.

2.0 of 5 stars. This place is just ok. The sweeping view northwest up the James River is great, but the food is pretty mediocre. Their sandwiches come out soggy and oddly unappetizing (maybe it's the gigantic rolls...

Great seafood

If you like seafood- this is the place. We always find great food here. They were even open after a hurricane came through here and power was out in lots of places. Nice atmosphere and nice to feel like you...

What a Place!

Great seafood, great service, great view of the water and the bridge. What better place to eat a crab sandwich than on a dock on the James River, with glass all around to watch the boats and the gulls and the...

Yelp.com Review - by Blythe K.

2.0 of 5 stars. Be sure to ask what "Market Price" is before you order anything listed as that on the menu. One of the people I went to dinner with ordered crab cakes at "Market Price" and ended up spending $32 for...

Yelp.com Review - by Mark R.

4.0 of 5 stars. Good, fresh seafood at a great price! Avoid shrimp until after Lousiana settles down. I definitely recommend the blackened tuna sandwich (about $7), or the shack burger (topped with crab meat). The...
