50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Richmond

“Food was outstanding, from the Cobia special to the rhubarb hand pie. Excellent food would highly recommend“

“Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here. Everything was perfect from the atmosphere and service to the creative and masterfully prepared dishes and cocktails. It is evident that the staff are well trained and attentive and the head chef is a genius. I plan to come back here again for sure“

“Delicious food. Huge entree/pasta portions so would recommend family style - everyone get something different and share. Can't go wrong with any of the appetizers, also fairly sharable. Only thing is the room is packed to the brim with seating so you have squeeze through to get to your table, and it's incredibly loud.“

“Nice place. Good ambience and hygienic. The food was good. The dal and paneer was good the papdi chat was a disappointment. Also the hara bhara kabab turned out to be aloo tikki. Overall I would say the place is good but the food is average.“

“Wonderful evening by the river with our new friend Cece as our server! The food was yummy. My husband had fish and I had shrimp... so beautifully prepared and delicious! Cece was the best!“

“Service was amazing. Jarred was very informative and pleasant. Checked on us numerous times, making sure we were well taking care of“

“We had the best dinner with the greatest waitress and superb cocktails this weekend! Thanks for the tremendous experience!“

“Fried clam basket were Great, fries were well seasoned“

“A sheer delight! Every single detail was a fresh surprise. The chef, hosts, cooks, and servers were fabulously attentive. The decor was completely custom and provided a fresh ocean-side vibe. The atmosphere was calm and sophisticated. But the food! What an amazing menu! The flavors, textures, presentation, and quality of the food were elegant, creative, and delicious! I will plan to go back often! Our friends were offered amazing wine and champaign pairings. We enjoyed 6 courses including tune ceviche, braised tuna and sea weed, scallops atop a corn/salmon patty, flounder with a crab sauce served on succotash, mushroom ravioli with hanger steak, and pannetoni with pineapple and mint.“

“Fantastic. You can tell the chef and waitstaff care about the quality.“

“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.“

“Decided to treat myself to a Mom break, had a book, a great drink, and a delicious, FRESH and all home made meal. Music was great and the whole atmosphere was just perfect and relaxing. I had the most amazing oysters, and all of the food was AMAZING! Chicken Caesar Salad 🥗 was incredible! Kudos to the Chef(s) and staff!! 🤩🤩🤩 Jamela was my server, and she was not only ridiculously kind and welcoming, but completely knowledgeable about the entire menu, about all the locations, what to recommend and all of the different delicious sauces! She is an absolute gem 💎 . Thank you so much for seeing a tired Mom, and providing a level of GENUINE Service and kindness that I haven’t seen in quite a while. Bless you all! Thank you Croaker Spot! -Karma“

“this place rocks!!!! The wings, oysters, and shrimp were cooked to perfection. It's definitely on my list for a return visit. Well done guys, your patience waiting for us to make up your mind“

“Good prices, great seafood and sides! If you just want something for yourself or for the whole family. Not a lot of room inside the business, but fair for takeout. The owner is the nicest man, greets everyone that walks through the door. This business is for takeout only, order before you leave the house and pickup once there or you can wait for it, stays pretty busy, especially on the weekends.“

“Food was outstanding and the owner was incredibly friendly! Couldn’t decide what to get so ended up ordering 4 items and they were all fantastic (bun bun special, lemongrass pork bahn mi, Korean popcorn chicken, and the bulgogi fries). Highly recommend trying this place out!“

“Ordered 4 dozen large jimmies! Q delivered heavy, amazing crabs. Great place and great service! Thank you Q“

“Price is great, crabs are delicious, cooked hot to order. And the customer service is outstanding!“

“The seafood is always fresh and good! Most boils are in a bag full of spices and water creating a slushy juice inside of the bags! I don’t prefer that. The food here is steamed and placed in pans. I have been coming for a few years 5-6 times a month and there has never been an issue. Good Job!“

“Best Bologna Burger in Richmond!

If you're in Richmond, VA, and craving some seriously delicious comfort food, look no further than Parks Combo 2. I’ve tried a lot of spots in the city, but nothing comes close to the magic they serve up here, especially when it comes to their Bologna Burger and Pork Steak Combo.

The Bologna Burger at Parks Combo 2 is hands down the best in Richmond. They’ve perfected the art of balancing flavors and textures, giving you that perfect bite every single time. The bologna is cooked to perfection, with a crispy edge and a juicy center that melts in your mouth. Pair that with their fresh toppings and soft bun, and you’ve got a burger that’s both nostalgic and utterly satisfying.

But that’s not all – their Pork Steak Combo is a must-have as well. The pork steak is tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. It’s got that perfect char on the outside while remaining juicy and succulent on the inside. Every bite is packed with rich, savory goodness that keeps you coming back for more. And when you pair it with their classic sides, it’s a meal that hits the spot every time.

Parks Combo 2 isn’t just another spot in Richmond – it’s a local gem. Whether you're a longtime resident or just passing through, make sure to stop by and try these dishes. Trust me, once you’ve had the Bologna Burger and Pork Steak Combo, you’ll be hooked!“

“One of my fave places in RVA“

“I was in Richmond for a few hours, so I decided to try Sugar's Crab Shack. I really didn't have high expectations due to some of the reviews. I am glad that I stopped by because I really enjoyed the food. I had the whiting salad, fried shrimp, and I tried the deviled crab cake. I really enjoyed everything and will be back. The employees were also very friendly and helpful.“

“I have eaten here at least ten times, and every single meal has been fantastic. The bartender has the biggest smile :) I plan to keep coming back. Good job Crafty Crab for putting such a good team together!!“

“Best crabs and service in town and always cooked fresh!!“

“Customer service,from Tyler, was top notch and the food was cooked to order, so it was scrumptious! The catfish was not highly breaded and the lemon pepper fries were different, but delish. I'll definitely return on a regular basis.“

“Best seafood boils and service in Richmond!“

“A very fun experience!! Come on out. You’ll have a great time!!!“

“The food was delish!! The drinks were good. We had a blue berry lemon and Richmond Rita for drinks. As far as food, we had crab dip, tipsy fries, salmon and Alfredo pasta, and catfish shrimp basket.
The bartender was great! Everyone their was nice! It will be on my go-to list!!“

“This is my "GO TO PLACE" for delicious fresh seafood!!!“

“We actually went to the Juicy Crab and after 20 minutes we never got our drinks we had ordered and thought it would be best to try this place, Crab Du Jour. It was fantastic!! All the food was fresh and delicious. The service was great also! Every team member we spoke to were nothing but polite and professional but also had a great sense of humor. We will absolutely be back and I cannot wait!!“

“On 08/03/2022, my wife and I brought our cousins here to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The food and service was excellent. Our waiter was Sean. HOWEVER, during the reservation process, I was asked at least twice if there was a celebration and if so what type. I indicated on both occasions that it was a anniversary. I just assumed that when I was asked about the occasion that this occasion would somehow be acknowledged. It wasn't. (Happy anniversary). I heard the waiter at the table next to ours wish the celebrants a happy anniversary. Also, based on other reviews on this site, I noticed that a dessert was given to the celebrants as a memento. Not to our party. As I said, the service and food were excellent but missing the little "happy anniversary" left me and my wife feeling a little empty.“

“ultimadamente como que están dejando la comida muy salada especialmente la bandeja mixta. digale al cocinero que use menos sal. y menos sal alas snow crabs“

“lokeman’s Best wings are the best! I have nothing bad to say about this spot! Every time I come there, they are clean, polite and i never have anything wrong with my order. The wait time is never bad , and. the two guys who are typically up front are really cool and helpful.With 30 different flavors, you can’t go wrong ( in my opinion, go for the 24 karat wings. They are 🔥 )“

“A solid 4 out of five. The wings are good the mango habanero sauce is great. However the wings are a little dry I guess overcooked. The rice bowls are very tasty chicken and lamb are a favorite. Decent pricing across the board and I will definitely return.

Parking: Nearest strip mall lots of places to park“

“Our server, Jane, was amazing. She provided great descriptions of the specials. She genuinely enjoyed her job. The food was delicious! Everyone was friendly and smiling. Oh and they have an awesome reward program!“

“I have eaten here at least ten times, and every single meal has been fantastic. The bartender has the biggest smile :) I plan to keep coming back. Good job Crafty Crab for putting such a good team together!!“

“We left our brother's after a cookout, and our son was hungry??‍♀️. McDonald's is not an option, and instead of Royal Farms or stopping in the city, we decided to stop here, and get crab legs. It was $20, and they seasoned and steamed them for us. We took them home, melted our own butter, and my son and I ate our fill! They were delicious! Thankfully, Dad just cracks them, and doesn't eat them. Thankful that we visited, and will keep it as an option in the future.“

“Be sure to stop by on Prime Rib Thursdays!“

“Came in before a show at the Camel. Service was wonderful. Amongst myself and company we tried the oysters, fish chowder, chicken wings, trout de florentine (sp?), and three of the cocktails which I forget the names of but they were delicious. Lovely experience and bartenders were especially hospitable (we sat at the bar).

Def plan to return. Oysters were great. Very few places in town have actual choices in selection.

Parking: Not sure about designated parking. Found some street parking within a block or so.“

“The food and the staff is amazing highly recommended.“

“We have been here a couple of times and it is without a doubt the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in RVA! The restaurant is attractive and spotlessly clean. The staff is professional and friendly.“

“I wonder if this is a more authentic experience than most Americans want; loud, cramped, and bussling, this place is an experience. But the food is good, if perhaps the fish tacos, one of our 3 dishes , was bland.

The medium sized margarita was giant and a fair price, and not too sweet. You can find better but you'll pay double.

A good experience overall.“

“Enjoyed a great day with amazing food and wonderful service! Thank you for being dog friendly, that was one reason we came. We will absolutely be back!!“

“Best Mexican food. Good service and friendly staff. Everything there is so good.“

“Great start for a roadtrip! Relaxed, homemade feel with a sensible menu. The meal choices are practical for the location and perfectly satisfying. It’s a perfect family owned, small business that shows great pride in their work. Will definitely stop by on the way back!

Parking: Located right off the highway.“

“Really good food and selection from steaks that was excellent to fresh fish. We enjoyed it server alert and efficient service.“

“It was as always, great atmosphere, great service and great food.“

“Very upscale and very good service“

“I live Yoshi Sushi! They have always given me great service and very tasty food. I worked with sushi restaurants for about 10 years and I can say that the quality is great for the price. I always get the Tropical roll, it’s like dessert. The sushi rice is delicious, cooked just right. Nothing worse than sushi with overcooked rice. The foods that come from the kitchen are also great. Shrimp and veggie tempura, hibachi, and yaki soba are among my favorites.“

“Mike’s Pizza & Grill is a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel right at home with their friendly and welcoming attitude. The atmosphere is cozy and has a real homey vibe. The food is absolutely fantastic — a solid 5/5! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The burgers are worth mentioning — they’re big, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pizza is great too! Plus, the prices are super affordable, making it a great spot for families or anyone on a budget. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and great people!“
