7 Best Seafood Restaurants near Urbanna

“My family and I tried this gem today, and we were honestly blown away. I’m a restaurant industry veteran, and I can say with confidence: this is easily some of the best food in Urbanna. ​I had the 'Mother Cluckin' chicken sandwich (incredible flavor!), my husband loved his BBQ, and the tenders were a hit with our daughter. A huge shoutout to our waiter—he actually hand-made our lemonade, which was a refreshing touch you just don’t see elsewhere. We couldn't resist grabbing some strawberry ice cream, fresh cinnamon raisin bread, and a few tinctures from their shop up front. ​Everything was top-notch. My only heartbreak? We left our to-go box on the table! We’ll definitely be back for a round two.“

“Absolutely a great place to eat! The black and cobia was awesome“

“Urbanna Pearl Oyster Tavern is hands down my favorite hangout spot in Urbanna, and every visit reminds me why! 🦪✨ I had the Fredericksburg Artillery oysters topped with jalapeño — perfectly briny with just the right kick — paired with the most delicious avocado toast and a refreshing Bold Rock Apple Cider. Every single bite and sip was on point. But what truly sets this place apart is the people. The owner and staff are absolutely wonderful — warm, welcoming, and the kind of folks who make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. If you're in Urbanna and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. This gem is the heart of the town. Can't wait to come back!“

“It has a nice feeling of a small town cafe. The servers were great and the food was good. We come down every year for the Urbana Oyster Fest and always try to get at least one or two meals there over the 4 days we are here.“

“Excellent service, beautiful setting, food was wonderful!“

“Three girlfriends and I stayed at the Tides Inn for a quick overnight stay to celebrate a milestone birthday , and one of the highlights was having our lunch at Fish Hawk Oyster bar. It’s delightful covered terrace overlooked both the pool and the river. I enjoyed a crab salad and one of my friends enjoyed her crab cake sandwich (so much crab, NOT all filler). The service was attentive even though they were busy. We enjoyed our day 1 lunch so much we returned for our day 2 lunch before we departed! There was a cocktail boat racing event happening at the resort so it was much busier. Their flat bread, salads, fried oysters were all delicious. We hit it at the right time and got a table but wait time grew to over an hour (due to the boat races) while we were enjoying our lunch. Management stepped in to help with service during peak times. Highly recommend if you’re near Irvington or staying at the Tides Inn!“

“View is amazing. Food is good and menu has a nice variety. Of note, the eggs were brought to the table cold and were returned. Staff could be more attentive. For example, no spoons were brought out with the sorbet so we ate it with forks. We were a party of two and were seated at a 5 top which is fine but the other place settings were not cleared and sat on table throughout the meal. Didn't have a chance to eat on the patio but that looked fun. Overall, would recommend and it is nice to have available when staying at The Tides Inn.“
