Not repeat worthy. Fish tacos were overly salty and dry, the Brussel sprouts were undercooked, and the Painkiller was 3/4 crushed ice. Their remedy was to microwave the Brussel sprouts (which were still crunchy). No price adjustment on our bill. We paid and will not return.

Absolutely loved the experience! The food was flavorful and perfectly prepared—the entrée was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and paired well with fresh green beans and perfectly roasted potatoes. The cheesecake was rich, creamy, and easily the highlight of the night—one of the best I’ve had. Drinks were smooth, refreshing, and well-balanced. Everything from the food to the overall vibe made for a great dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Came for a Sunday lunch date, definitely the best pick me up on a gloomy day! The she crab soup tasted like a hug, and their salmon BLT is so fresh. Hubs got their fried flounder basket and it literally melted in our mouths. Loved the chill vibes, great place to go if you want a calm kind of lunch. 10/10, highly recommend

One of the best views in Hampton/Fort Monroe and I always forget about It. If you are a fan of outdoor dining, this os right on a marina with views of the HRBT. The outdoor seats aren't the most comfy, but the food is outstanding. It sounded pretty loud inside. Probably the best crispy clam strips I've ever had. We shared the 2 seafood combo and had amazing flounder and shrimp (we added the clam strips as an app.) Everything was fantastic.
I want some more! Perfectly crispy chicken, even the shrimp was poppin'! The Mac, the kale salad, the frozen strawberry, just good to the last drop. Ate the leftovers 2 days later and it was still bangin'!

I’ve been coming to Dead Rise whenever I can for over 6 years. The menu has always offered a nice variety to satisfy seafood cravings, and the views outside are always beautiful. The fans, the atmosphere—it’s always been an amazing vibe.
I’ve never had an issue with service. In fact, my service today was top tier as always. But the food quality has significantly declined.
I paid $36 for a dish that had no more than 4 shrimp, which were heavily peppered and soaked in butter. The crab and scallops were also disappointing. The vegetables tasted like they came straight from a frozen bag, and the potatoes had no flavor at all—no seasoning, nothing.
I didn’t even finish my meal. I just asked for a box so I could take it home and season it myself. While sitting outside, two different groups leaving asked me how my meal was. I told them it wasn’t as good as it used to be—and they agreed, sharing that they had to send some food back.
At the end of the day, I feel like I only paid for the service and the atmosphere, not the food. Really, really disappointed because this used to be one of my favorite spots.

Better good than the annoyance suggests. Very casual.
