HOLY COW! What a place! Beautiful, beautiful, homely, family like place! Not just a great place but GREAT FOOD! They brought coleslaw out first. I thought what a coleslaw! I have never tasted coleslaw thus good. I thought the KFC coleslaw was the best but I was wrong! I thought that was the best but when I tasted the broiled scallops, oh, wow! Then the Oysters, soft crabs, hush puppies, the Best hush puppies, ever, the steam shrimps, and the best tasting shrimps ever. Oh, by the way, even their homemade cocktail sauce was the best also. It's just simple ketchup and horseradish, I asked. I am so glad that I decided to give it a try today!

Parking: Plenty of parking spaces.

Blue Ridge Seafood has been on my radar for a while and I finally made it. Don't let the packed lot fool you, they have a lot of room inside. There's quite a selection of items and I went with the Blue Ridge combination: sauteed crab cake, haddock, shrimp, sea scallops, and clam strips. Sides I chose were fries and corn. All the seafood was perfect. The crab cake is a little on the small side and the clam strips are always a mix of little fried bits and bigger strips, but it's a great meal. Shrimp and scallops are going to be my go-to. Staff is friendly and attentive. We've been back a few times since.
