21st Street Seafood Raw Bar

Place is great to eat but they add 20% gratuity to the check and some service is definitely not worth 20%. Ordered all you can eat crab legs and waited a very long time in between plates. Ran out of drinks multiple times. If you get Mike as a server your best bet is to just go home it’s not worth it.

before you order food look at kitchen and bathroom they are nasty to say the least. I paid 30$ for 5 fried oysters and a big pile of cold freezer fries. when I spoke to waiter he was not concerned he only said have a nice day, he was smug and dismissive. 4 people were dinning with me stake was tuff most of our order didn't come till after we were done. Mandatory 20% tip may be why waiter really didn't care. I could go on but you get the idea don't eat there!

Went Saturday for lunch, place was great. Server was attentive and food was good. The kids pasta was way better than I expected. It wasn’t busy so I think that helped with having a good experiance.

A cozy little place, we went there to get their all-you-can-eat crab and shrimp. The crab was very tasty and sweet and the dipping sauces were good, customer service was top notch and the waiter was very nice. The AC was blasting though and we had to find another table to sit, but overall the experience was good. The only suggestion I would make is to put less seasoning on the crab as it got way too salty way too quickly and it was starting to get difficult to appreciate the flavor of the crab meat.

Our server was really nice..the food was not great... the menus were dirty, everything smelled like fried food
There is a service fee not mentioned anywhere....and an alcohol fee...so basically everything on the menu is more expensive.....there is also a no cash fee...

Before considering tipping them, remember that they already charge you a tip.
Tipping culture is getting stupid and crazy.

My wife and I had lunch there. We love seafood, so it looked like a good place, and we were not disappointed. I took the seafood ceasar salad and 6 raw oysters, and she took the seafood plater. Of course, we shared about everything. Everything on the plater was good. Crab cake, flounder, shrimp, scallops, even the mushrooms. The raw oysters were fraiche and tasty, the salad was... you know a ceasar salad. The crab tasted good, and the shrimp, cold, did not have much taste. But we enjoyed our meal, which what we wanted.

Food is always delicious but the automatic added tip of over 15% is a little much. Should be able to tip what we want. Which we do tip very well but would like it to be our decision

I visited this place, and one thing you can not deny is how large the steamed shrimp, fried shrimp and oysters are. Also, it's very tasty, when you visit try the seafood soup as well?

The food was okay. I went last Saturday for all you can eat king crab legs and the waiter informed us it didn't start until the following Saturday..then why are you advertising it online and on the menu? And they didn't offer any replacement seafood!! We are not from Virginia, so we won't be going back to that specific restaurant when we do go back!!

The only thing I didn't like about this place. Was that on all the social media platforms. Even on the same day that we went. It's posted thirty seven for all you can eat, dungee crab legs and steamed shrimp. However, when we got there. The young lady informed us that. The cost is tweleve dollars more . That the price went up. Only reason I didn't leave. Was because it was my birthday. This totally didn't sit well with me. Besides that. The service was fine. Food was fine.

Best broiled seafood platter at the beach. Make sure you get there before 6:00 and get your $4 well drinks.
