    As a commuter through the state of Virginia, I easily could have stopped at one of innumerable NOVA…read morerestaurants, or in Charlottesville, but I determined that this place in relatively rural Culpepper was worth a shot. The owners have a separate Thai restaurant downtown; this noodle-focused pan-Asian place is newer. I tried to manage expectations, but was impressed in every respect. The brick corner building has received an interesting buildout and Bose speakers trumpet mood music. The menu is broad and includes some vegan options. I ordered some dumplings, which I wouldn't have done if I'd known how huge the entree would be, but the dumplings were excellently presented with vegetable garnish and I ate them quickly. They offer a series of tropical fruit drinks, and I got one with longan, which is a little like lychee; the beverage came in its own bottle and had several whole longan fruits in it and was sweet and strongly flavored. Despite the strong start, I still expected less from my ramen that what I ultimately got. Even a good premium ramen bowl rarely has the beautiful array of vegetable toppings I got here, including pickled ginger, kimchi, mushrooms, corn, and bok choy. Ample tofu was provided for protein and the noodles were of a green kale-infused variety. I was offered dried pepper for seasoning and a spice tray if I needed it, but the thought barely occurred to me. It was an enormous bowl and I ended up taking some of it to go. I was easily going to give them the five stars even before they offered me a complimentary dessert that was a little bit like a sticky mochi. The one thing I'd ask is that they label the menu a bit more clearly as I got the sense that a lot of the general Thai dishes could be vegan but it wasn't as clear as I would have liked it to be. But the quality and variety of flavors was as good as I could possibly ask for.

    So delicious! Service is great. The atmosphere is relaxing…read more This place blows away all other places that I thought were great out of the water!

    Came here with mom and sisters. We were seated right away on Saturday but we came around 5:15 pm…read more The place wasn't full yet. They don't take reservations. We ordered fried calamari. It came with a hot marinara sauce. It was delicious. My mother ordered broiled flounder with baked potatoes and salad. I ordered make my own 3 items which included fried Soft shell crab, fired scallops and crab cake with sides of baked potatoes and onion rings. All dishes came with hush puppies. My sister had fried oysters. They said the broiled flounder had no taste. I liked all my dishes though the crab cake was saltier for me than I normally like. They give you all sorts of sauce and special butter for the baked sweet potatoes. The waitress was really nice and came back and refilled my soda a lot. It's an old restaurant and the ambience is lots of people come here for seafood. Considering it's not close to any sea, it's pretty good. I forgot to take photos to share. When we left around 6:30 the parking lot was full and people were waiting for tables.

This is peak blue crab season. My husband said it was his best blue crabs experience so far. We really enjoyed the seasoning on top. Our waitress (blonde short hair) was so friendly and checked in on us at the right intervals. I always see this place as on R29. Glad we checked it out! We want to try some of their other seafood offerings next time.

We had to drop off some items in the area and wanted to get dinner before heading back, so we looked over the menu and reviews. It seemed like it would be perfect for seafood lovers, and we were able to snag one of the last tables available. From the time we walked in, the service was amazing. The staff made great recommendations, checked on us frequently without being intrusive, and made sure we were enjoying our first experience there. Even the other customers were super friendly and told us they had been coming back for years for the great food and service. We both loved our meals. The breading on my fish was really crispy (a recommendation from the server), and the hush puppies were delicious. The portions were very generous, and I really enjoyed my leftovers the next day! The decor there is also super cute. They have several old soda machines outside and adorable crab-themed items inside and outside. Even though it's a bit of a drive, we both agreed that it will be well worth another trip in the future!

    Stopped in for lunch at Crabby Maggie's while visiting Strasburg. I'd seen the place pop up on…read moresocial media a few times, and since it's the only dedicated seafood spot in the area, it felt like a must-try. Parking is a bit tight, and the layout of the lot is... let's just say, a little confusing. I thought there might be an exit on the opposite side, but that might've just been me overthinking it. Inside, the place has a cozy, casual vibe, and there's also a nice outdoor patio if the weather's good. What stood out right away was the owner--the same person you see on their social media sharing specials--was actively working the floor. He was taking orders, cleaning up, and checking in on tables. Always great to see that level of involvement and energy. We went with the fried baskets, and the portion sizes were huge--definitely felt like a good value for the price. (Check out the pictures!) Everything we had was hot, crispy, and satisfying. We saw a few other dishes--like the tacos and steak--go by, and they looked just as tempting. I've already made a mental note to try the scallops or one of those tacos next time I'm back.

    What an experience. By myself on business. Bar was full, or so I thought! Danny cleared a spot and…read morehad me seated in less than a minute. Which is also why, unfortunately I don't have pictures. This place is so on point with service. Danny making the drinks and his oyster shucker getting it done quickly to the back of the house bringing out my lobster bisque. Oysters were spot on. But the bisque. One of the best flavors. To Danny's credit I asked about the clam chowder or the bisque. He said they were both great but very different. Off his description I chose the bisque. OMG! With my issues I need to be safe and this was so good. The food, the environment, but most importantly the service was great. If you are here, sit at the bar and hope that Danny's there and in charge. He gets it.

I got the clam chowder to start. I was not use to the sourness of the chowder. It was like someone squeezed too much lemon into the chowder. Not a lot of clams either. I would not say that is a New England Calm Chowder. For entrees, we got the Rockfish and fried oyster Po' Boy. The only miss on the Rockfish is the corn. They were not sweet at all so do not match well with the clams. The fried oysters Po' Boy has a generous portion of oyster and fries. The dipping sauce was really good with the fries. Only miss is the pickle onions is really sour. To end the night, we had the key lime pie. It is a good ending to the night. Interestingly, I had sour tasting in all my food.
