40 Best Seafood Restaurants in Norfolk

“My daughters name is Willow B. and she was treated like a Queen; given a free T shirt, free pool, all the games and coloring books her heart desired. The food was spectacular and the hostess was 10/10“

“We came here as a group of 6 on a Tuesday evening, and we were seated at their smallest table. When we asked to be moved to a larger (there were 3 open larger tables) we were told that the "wait" was too long. All 3 tables sat empty the entire time we ate. 3 of the 6 people in our party ordered the blackened sword fish at $34/plate. The orders came as grilled and they were severely over cooked. When we mentioned that the orders were wrong, we were told that they could take that fish back add blackened seasoning and re cook the same (already overcooked) fish. We asked to speak to the manager, whose immediate solution was to take off the automatic gratuity and just not tip our server. We never got an apology for the food being wrong, and the manager was completely rude the entire time. The manager's final solution was to take $4 off of a $80 bill. We will not be back.“

“My wife, our grandson, and myself went to Saltines on Valentine’s Day which is also my wife’s birthday. Reservations at 7;45 and the seating arrangement was perfect. Kyle was our waiter. We could not have gotten a more perfect waiter. Kyle was extremely polite and was very attentive to our needs. The drinks he served were perfect. The food served was above par. He even wished my wife a happy birthday and made sure she had everything she wanted. Kyle is the sort of waiter that you look for and hope for. He was perfect for our little celebration. My thanks to Kyle and thanks to Saltines for employing someone such as Kyle. Kyle will be our waiter for future dining at Saltines.“

“Amazing dinner. Great price.“

“Had the pleasure of having a family brunch h this past weekend. They staff was great especially with the size of guest that attended. Food was great and worth the price as well as being kid friendly. 5 star all the way. Definitely would return.“

“Lunch definitely hit the spot. Perfectly cooked blackened tuna. Friendly and quick service. Great drafts selection. Will be back!“

“THE FOOD! Can’t wait to visit from MD and have more!!“

“great food and service was wonderful“

“I've had some of the greatest food and drinks but the people are the best💯‼ Megan is a doll and is the best server in VA! Come here and have a CHERRY LIME DROP, GUMBO AND SOUTHERN STYLE TACOS..you'll thank me later!“

“Oh my goodness the food was amazing! I had the Tuna Tataki and a Lavender Mint Spritz. Amazing! I can’t wait to go back“

“It's kind of a sliver of a restaurant, but worth the trip. The cook was especially cool, and accommodating and served delicious food. I had the catfish, and I believe that my wife had flounder, with mac and cheese and greens. Of course, my daughter had chicken tenders. Come to find out, the cook is a Jersey homeboy. Shouts to Fuego from Paterson aka Shamel from Staten Island! 😂😂😂 Definitely worth the trip, and would go back whenever in town again.“

“The ambiance was so romantic and perfect for our date night/celebration dinner. We enjoyed everything from the ahi tuna tartare, to the porto and cheesecake.“

“Went 2 - 3 times last year. Good food and good service. I'd love to get their salsa receipe though. I enjoyed it a lot better than most.“

“Longboards is a family friendly restaurant that is top notch with a surf and turf menu that is sure to have everyone in your party satisfied! A wonderful selection of food and really great drinks! Service has always been great. It can be busy at times but the servers treat you like you are their only table. Hands down, this is a place you have to try. Great prices and every dish is well thought out and cooked to perfection!“

“The BBQ sandwich was very good. They did notofffer Brunswick stew but will in the Fall. I loved it. I cant wait to go back !!“

“visiting in town and searched for 🦞 and this place popped up. We drove there and it didn't disappoint. All the food was amazing from the crab legs, Crawfish, Catfish. Did I mention that the prices were great. Highly recommend Ocean Blue Seafood in Norfolk VA“

“Tried the Catfish Dinner and the fried shrimp. Both were crispy, fresh, and really flavorful. The homemade sauce was so good too. The prices are great for the amount of food you get, and the staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back!!“

“Just wanted to say myself and my family had a pleasant experience dining in at this location. My family and I were visiting from CT and Kevin and his team was truly amazing and made us feel like family. The food was great as well! We will be back soon!“

“Best seafood I have ever had! Attentive friendly service, prices amazingly reasonable!!! All stars all around! Nihya is the greatest—thank you!!!“

“It’s extremely HOT in there and customer service isn’t anything extraordinary or anything it’s a simple what are you ordering ?here is your clothes pin type of deal.
But the food was Hot and delicious!
Overall I’m happy“

“Always Amazing!! Best homemade bread! Had the softshells tonight incredible! Love the syds barrel cocktail whiskey! The mudpie is maddeningly scrumptilicious“

“This was my first time visiting. I got my order to go, it was packed well and stayed worn the whole way home. WOW, the flavor was incredible! I can’t wait to come back and dine in next time. Service was great, it smelled so good, atmosphere was great and it was clean.“

“I've been ordering for a few years now. I ordered my husband the vegetable pancit today and was not disappointed. I've ordered general tsoas chicken, sesame chicken, sweet & sour chicken, the fried Chinese chicken wings, egg/shrimp/spring rolls, crab rangoon, and all versions of rice. It is the BEST in Norfolk easy. There must be an actual chef back there the food is incomparable. They definitely should have 5 stars but... hey if you guys are reading... get rid of all that junk in the lobby, and work on better customer service! It's not terrible but you'd probably have 5 stars by now...the food is beyond 5 stars!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Amazing food, friendly service. Definitely a great place to eat cajun seafood“

“The owners are super nice! We stopped in without calling and they didn't order any oysters for that day. Instead of sending us away, the owner give us the ones that they were going to eat themselves. Everything is super fresh! Highly recommend!“

“The setting is gorgeous, but the interior could use a designer for a more coastal environment. The crab cakes are the best in the area, but they need better healthy sides. I also had the best soft shell crab in the area there a few months ago. Hire a chef versus a cook. More healthy versions of seafood are needed versus mostly fried and salted. As an excellent cook, I could turn this place into a hot neighborhood spot that people could walk to/from. Many times the price does not meet the quality of food unless I order the crab cakes. I have seen waiters bring out broccoli with worms moving around and florets that have overstayed their time in the kitchen.“

“5 star food, service, and vibe. crab sakes were delicious!“

“Un buen lugar muy limpio , excelente atención muy buena comida . 👌🏻“

“Best Catfish in the City. If you see the truck you better run it down!!“

“This was my 1st time eating here and let me tell you after looking at those mouth watering photos I just had to try it, let's just say they have a new customer on there roster. The smell of good food hit me in the face as soon as I walked in. The smothered Liver & Onions over rice, a side of mac & cheese and collard greens definitely hit the spot but I didn't stop there you know ya boy had to try the chicken wings. Definitely coming back!!!!!“

“This place takes me to my childhood back in the day when I lived in Lambert's Point and there was this place called the Rice Bowl on the corner of 39th and Boydens Ferry rd. accross the street from the corner market. This is where I fell in love with fried rice, small smoke, chop suey and of course yak, Norfolk style. So if you're feeling a little nostalgic for old style neighborhood Chinese takeout you should go there.“

“An errand brought me in the area at lunch time. I bought the Mushroom and cheesesteak sandwich. It was ready in about 10 minutes and I was out of there. They are very efficient and delicious food. Hard to beat. They also sell Herr's chips, but you will pay a premium. The half is sufficient for most for lunch.“

“Delicious food ? pan seared salmon salad, cabbage and Mac and cheese are ???“

“This is in the Sheraton hotel and the atmosphere was lovely with a harbor view. The menu is basic but with solid choices and the food was exactly as anticipated. The waitstaff was very pleasant but not very attentive. They were very slow to acknowledge and seat you. We had time to kill so not a big deal but if I had time constraints I probably would have been annoyed.“

“Amazing 38 flavors and fresh food 👍👍👍“

“They use to have the best fried crab batter. Not anymore.The batter is thin and crunchy and taste bad.I seen the lady pour some white stuff into the grease out of a large box. I've been going here for years. Never again.“

“Lemon Pepper wings are on point each and every time. Don't forget the Arnold Palmer tea!!!!??????“

“The food and the atmosphere was great. Karaoke singers were awesome and very engaging with the customers.“

“giant fish sammich, grilled salmon“
