    Absolutely LOVE this place! Spent a week in the area and ended up here 3 times! 2 out of the 3 visits, I went straight for the OBX Peel & Eat Shrimp, which were AWEsome. Girlfriend went for a little variety each visit - was happy with each meal. Great 'seafood shanty' atmosphere & great views! Another constant was top-notch service - servers were affable, efficient, & knew the ins & outs of the menu & specials. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my 'home base' for good food & drinks. Highly recommended!

    Servers are always friendly and attentive! I love when the bartenders make something fun after I give them a free pass to make whatever! Tom is the best! If you're from here, you know parking is not going to be ideal but you get over it! -1 star because I feel like the variety and quality of the food has decreased with slight price increase over the last few years. I understand raising prices, but the last few times we've been, menu items I have not been available and the food was semi-Bland unfortunately

    Finding this place was such a catch! (Get it? ) I don't live in the area, but I don't think you cod do better than Hole in the Wall. Don't trout me and just go! I had the fried oysters, my partner had the grilled sea bass, and both were amazing! It's a lot of food with the sides, but the views over the water are fun--if you have a boat they also do boat-based takeaway--and everyone is socially distant at tables. Considering going somewhere else for lunch seems a bit fishy to me. This place is o-fish-ally a winter! I should dolphinitely scale back on the fish puns.

    Great water spot (5) with OK food (3) makes this a solid 4 star review. Gets crowded easily as it's really the only place around.

    We went for my best friends's wedding rehearsal dinner. We had about 13 people, which can already…read morebe difficult for a restaurant to prepare for. However, they were more than accommodating. Also, we booked the reservation for 7:30 PM and, even though they closed at 8 PM, they still graciously accepted my reservation and provided us with the most outstanding service. I ordered the low country skillet, which was like a seafood boil with sausage on top of cheesy grits with a side of green beans. It was delicious and hearty. I recommend ordering this dish, especially since our server deemed it as one of the restaurants signature dishes. I also had a glass of Malbec red wine, pair of quite nicely with my meal. One of the other guests ordered the corn dip, which had a side of pita chips to dip into. The corn dip was slightly thick and sweet, with a few slices of avocado sitting on top. Also delicious. Highly recommend this place if you are craving a New American cuisine with a southern twist.

Lots of elderly women in Mathews. Guys must be out fishing or hunting or moved on. She liked her Gazpacho and N'awlins salad. My martini was under $12 a pop which is nice break from the city. I would have liked more crust on my scallops and the soba accompaniment was over cooked and I couldn't eat much of it. A gluey mush. Overall was OK and would return but order something else.

It's a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a very charming beachfront town but it was a dreary and rainy day. We easily parked in the large gravel lot and walked inside and were immediately sat at a table by the water with a lovely view. Our waitress was prompt and super friendly. We chose to get the crab hush puppies and were thrilled to see they were made fresh and hot to order and tasted phenomenal. We devoured them quickly. We decided to split the fish taco meal since it was lunch for us and it came with two large-sized tacos and cole slaw. It was a nice portion for an entree and was easily enough for both of us for a lighter lunch. Really delicious sweet tea so I took some to go. Small gift shop attached and tons of seating inside and expansive views of the water with a back wall of windows all around.

The staff is consistently gracious and accommodating, which really sets them apart from other restaurants that seem to dread large parties. Even on a busy Friday night, we were seated in under thirty minutes. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and handled multiple tables with ease. He stayed on top of our orders and refills, and he took allergies seriously, checking with the kitchen to make sure certain dishes were safe. That level of care is always appreciated. As always, the food was excellent. I usually go for the crabcakes, but this time I tried the special, a crowned salmon, and it was so tasty. They truly do seafood well here, and the portions are always hearty. Every experience here is consistently great. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the manager even stopped by our table to check in, which was a nice touch. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Williamsburg.
