My server Michael was amazing. he was so fast, a pleasure to speak with, and got everything we needed. I don’t like seafood very much, but I will be coming back specifically because of the great service i received.

I had the pleasure of being served by Kenzie during my recent visit to Awful Arthers, and I cannot express how impressed I was with her exceptional service. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel incredibly welcome. She was attentive without being overbearing, always ensuring our glasses were filled, and our needs were met promptly. She had a very positive attitude and friendly demeanor truly elevated our dining experience. I hope Awful Arther’s recognizes how lucky they are to have her on their team.

Our server was super sweet and accommodating. The menu has gluten-free items marked, which was a plus for me, and the music bingo was a blast. I don't drink so I just ordered a tonic water with a splash of cran and the server was kind enough to go pour it herself, to make sure that there was no alcohol in it. She really went above and beyond for all of us. I couldn't have it, but the rest of the party had the fish and chip special and raved about it. I had the barbecue nachos. They were delicious and I didn't have any issues after.
Dietary restrictions: Their barbecue nachos were marked as gluten free on the menu and I didn't get sick after so I think they pay careful attention to cross contamination.

When we travel out of our landlocked home, if we're near seafood, I find a way to try it. I have to say, this was some of the best I've had for quite some time. The oysters on the half shell were a fabulous start to the evening, especially since the horseradish they provided was amazing. My wife had a wonderful shrimp Po-Boy while I enjoyed a crab cake and scallops prepared by blackening. Delightfully, the crab cake was mostly crab, and the scallops were buttery smooth, and perfectly cooked. The blackening was just right, not overdone. PLUS the best hush puppies I've had, with a side of char grilled garlic butter asparagus.
Finally, a glass of peach cider along with my wife's Chardonnay, and we were set for the evening!
Can't wait to return!

Food was good. Place looked run down and service was good. Waitress was on point and very friendly
Stopped at Awful Arthur's Seafood in Salem, VA. Don't let the name fool you, the food was five star. Cod was cooked to perfection, flaky and light. The shrimp was beautifully cooked, we had some home made key lime pie for dessert. Planning on stopping here on our way back home.. The food was so great we were 1/2 way done eating before I remembered to take some pictures. Our waitress was great, she was fast and friendly and thank you to the cook for a great meal..

Nice place to eat or have drinks. The bar area is cool. The fried food is always pretty greasy, but still good. The tacos are a really good choice

Horrible customer service. Such rude disrespectful employees! No wonder everyone has to drink to put up with the "bartender" wanna be!
