13 Best Seafood Restaurants near Topping

“This place was a great spot. It's a really cute restaurant with a beautiful outdoor seating area right by the water. The oyster soup was good, raw oysters were delicious. The scallops were huge and perfectly cooked. The waitress was friendly and efficient. Only a reason a star is down is because they couldn't give a side salad instead of chips on the side of the roll- seems like something they should be able to substitute. Also the fire pits were not working and it was a bit chilly.“

“The colonnade is perfection. The food top of the line in taste, presentation and portions. The service with Heather is amazing. She describes each dish and remembers everyone’s name truly exceptional. The entire evening is a special experience. Great way to celebrate the season.“

“I kept hearing about how good Rita’s is and had the chance to try them today. I’m so glad we did because I got the special of the day, fried sugar toads, and let me tell you they were delicious! It was my first time having sugar toads and boy were they good. Thanks for the great meal Craige!“

“I can not say enough good things about Miss Mary's. Amazing! Anything smoked...get it! My go-to is the salmon, fresh & smoked. Tried the smoked trout & it was so good I even bought a fillet for my parents to try.I love knowing where my fish is coming from & how its fished.“

“Food was delicious. A little small portion-wise but delicious nonetheless. The service was fast and accurate. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. Their desserts are amazing. I was recommended the apple pie with vanilla ice cream and I would definitely recommend it to everyone else!“

“What a great experience. Was a tough find with the long dirt road but keep going you will get to a place worth visiting. Great positive atmosphere and really good food. Staff was a good help with directing and friendly. Very impressed and hope to coming back very soon.Parking: Park beside the fence and walk around to the water“

“I live locally and had to run “into town” for a few things. My husband and I decided to make an impromptu day date of the trip and stop somewhere for a bite together.I will admit, this was not our first choice, we actually checked out 2 different places on the Main Street strip but one was closed and the other was only carry out (they had 3 or 4 “tables” but they were literally the size of a small tire lol.)We finally settled on Donna’s and I’m so glad we did!I ordered a burger and fries, my husband ordered a crab cake sandwich and sweet potato fries. We also ordered hush puppies as an appetizer. As a Maryland native I am happy to say that the crab cake was amazing. NO FILLER and good sized for the price. The burger was more than I expected it to be, I was honestly fearful it would be a premade patty (which always seem to taste more like grease than beef) and I was happy to find out that I was worried for nothing. The burger was bigger than the bun and, according to the menu description, a half pound in weight (before cooking) and beyond tasty with the perfect crunchy sear!! My meal was $14, the crab cake was $20, and the hush puppies were $5 (for 10). We both ordered beverages and, while I’m not one to typically gush over unsweetened iced tea (always my beverage of choice at restaurants) the iced tea was PHENOMENAL! It actually tasted like what fresh iced tea bags smell like when you open the box (instead of dirty tea water like you find in most restaurants).All in all, I am so glad we ended up at Donna’s on main and, at a reasonable $40 for our meal, we will definitely be returning to experience more of the menu in the near future.“

“This place is a 10. Exceptional food and service. Our waitress Tia was awesome. Great ambiance. The legit, authentic and delicious lumpia was a very nice surprise. The jumbo shrimp cocktail, the shrimp, filet and scallop kabob, the jumbo beer batter shrimp, and potato au gratin, loaded baked potato etc etc were all perfect. My highest possible recommendations. We will definitely be back.“

“My husband and I LOVE Dredge!! The owners and staff couldn’t be friendlier and the food is consistently delicious. The atmosphere is fantastic - you instantly feel comfortable and welcomed. Whether you’re dining at the bar or sitting at a table, you’re bound to have a wonderful time. Their specials are always great, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The best!!“

“We really enjoy the Chesapeake Restaurant when we come down to stay at Tides Inn! A wonderful getaway from Alexandria VA! My wife got the fettuccini and I ordered the catch of the day, Rockfish. Delicious items and the service is awesome from CC and Meghan! Wonderful staff always at the Tides Inn! If you haven't been I highly recommend it!“

“Me and my friend did a little "Oyster Tour of the Middle and Upper Peninsula" and Fish Hawk was stop #2. While we only had the oysters (which were FANTASTIC!) the atmosphere of the place and decor (including the whole Tides Inn) were top notch. Nothing compared to our bartender Frank! He was so nice, and knowledgeable. We got there close to closing but he took time to give us a tour and a fantastic history lesson about the Inn and the area. I would have come back because all 3, Food, Service and Atmosphere but honestly you can have ok food and atmosphere. People make it great. Frank is great and we are gonna make another trip soon because of him. Yall have a gem!“

“Came for dinner and was quickly seated. Lots of group seating as well as tables and booths in the back. Definitely off season as there was a lot of open space that is likely filled during season. First off, this is a bar. And as a result, it was bar food. Not that it's a bad thing, but I think it's a misnomer to call it a restaurant that serves alcohol. It's the other way and the food is limited to quick, bar foods. It was tasty, but the variety is definitely limited. Started with the rum punch and fried oysters. Would highly recommend both. Then went with the fish tacos which were again good, but was hoping to get some more substantial food. Finished off with a micro slice of key lime pie. Tasted really good! But I doubt I would do it again. Great place for drinks and have food if you want a bite.“

“I like to support the local businesses in Urbanna but I was tempted to leave a one star review. 3/5 of our dishes had many small hairs in them. Someone needs to stop trimming their pubes in my food. I don’t understand how there could be that much hair. It was at the point where there was more hair than food. I must have found around 5-10 hairs in my food. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t want to cough up a hairball.“
