    My wife and I were finished with our Sunday errands and looming for a place to have lunch. We decided to drive 20 minutes out of our way to a place called Peanut's Steak and Seafood in Spotsylvania Courthouse. From the outside it's a very unassuming place. However when we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly server. We sat at one of the relatively few tables they had. I think Peanut's might be more of a carry out place. They obviously specialized in crabs. On the wall was the Super Bowl specials, which included crabs, crawfish, frogs legs, alligator nuggets. They also had beer in the cold case to go, along with sodas. Anyway, we sat and ordered drinks. My wife wanted unsweetened ice tea, however they only had sweet tea. She had that, and reported that it wasn't overly sweet so it was fine. I had a Dr. Pepper, which came bottled. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer. They were very good, nicely breaded and hot. My wife ordered two soft shell crabs, one made into a sandwich. She loves soft shell crabs, and said that these were quite good sized and very good. I had a Ribeye Steak Sandwich, medium, with baked beans. The steak was decent, and it may have been medium rare instead of medium. However to me over-cooking is the greater sin so it was fine. We enjoyed Peanut's, and if we're in the area again, we would certainly come back.

    Some of the best seafood at this spot! Wife and I were strolling along rolling down the road saw this place and passed it whipped my truck around cuz I asked if she was hungry and I was hungry too. And we both agree on trying this spot out. Glad We did. Because it was fantastic! Amazing, fried cod and grouper, mashed potato's and gravy, fried onion rings, hush puppies, abs Mac and cheese. Everything tastes so dang good and tastes like homemade too! It was excellent. We will definitely be back for sure. Thank u for such an amazing delicious experience! Also inside is kinda like a gas station with booths and tables and one bathroom, very clean and very nice staff we chose to get it Togo and eat in my truck cuz of the c19 pandemic. Received our food drove off some place decent to stop and eat and it was just yum!

    All you can eat - steam crab   legs and shrimp    All the food is delicious. Trust you will not be disappointed.

    Yes!!! Drive to Peanut's Steak and Seafood for the All-You-Can-Eat crab legs and Shrimp with hush puppies. Draft beer is $2.00 16 oz cup. All the food is good. I can not believe we gave the quality in a country town. Red Lobster, Joe's Crab Shack has nothing on Peanuts. So much more for $49.99. So far I've visited 4 times and it's consistent.

    Amazing crabs!!!

Soon as you walk in through the revolving door, you are greeted with a wood fire grill aroma that makes your sense of smell scream omg what is that and I'll take 2 please. There was no wait time, we were instantly seated at a small both for two. And yes the seats are comfortable. I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.

Went on a Sunday night and there maybe 5 other tables occupied, each had over 5 patrons and we had a table near the main fireplace. The atmosphere was as expected no change over the years. Room temperature was great, a bit cool for my wife but that is normal. Our sever (Callie was exceptional and very responsive to our requests) came to the table promptly and took our drink order. Water and tea, no alcohol. Delivered quickly. We also got bread, not warm and very unimpressive. Orders were placed we recovered our salads with dressing on them and I had requested it on the side, not a big issue butt the meal proceeds to go down hill rapidly from there. My salad tasted like it had been sitting out for a while (wet wilted and soggy) and the only flavor it had was the fresh cracked pepper. I honestly expected more from the salad then iceberg lettuce, 2cherry tomatoes and a couple of cucumber slices. Blue cheese dressing was only identifiable because it was what I requested. Prime rib was over cooked but the portion was as ordered. Bake potato was dry and very overdone, 3 servings of sour cream to make it editable. My wife's seafood was equally tasteless, the lobster was great but the scallops tasted funny". Had more bread during the meal cold and tasteless. The best part of the meal by far wast he dessert, chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries, plated beautifully. Overall a 2.0 for the meal quality was mediocre at best, desert and service would rate a 4.5 (Callie was a 5.0 as a server). And the owner manager did not come by our table but did visit all the other tables. On the way out she said how was your meal I said very underwhelming and she just glared at me. I didn't complain to keep our 36th wedding anniversary fun, but after getting in the car and driving off my wife stated that wasn't worth it we will find a new anniversary place. In my opinion we could have eaten at a big box steakhouse (T/R) 5 times and higher quality for the ($150) price.

However, when we showed up, the host appeared quite agitated that we were early and said there was no room to wait and seats at the upstairs bar to partake in a couple of drinks. There was a bar downstairs they advertise as a Speakeasy but at first, they were not going to let us go down b/c they said there was no room. Yet, we saw another couple show up early and they went down. So, we helped ourselves down and I am glad we did. The bartender downstairs was fabulous! She was very professional and personable and she fixed some mean drinks! Much better than the ones we got upstairs with our dinner. I would absolutely go back even just for drinks in the Speakeasy. There is in fact not a lot of room, but enough for about 8-10 people at the bar. And then there were some tables as well. It is a very quaint place which is why they say reservations recommended. And the building looks like an old general store. Inside there were about 10-12 tables upstairs. It was really neat. Ambiance inside was rustic and cozy. The service was okay. The food was excellent! I had the mushroom soup which was heavenly- one of the best I've had. My husband got the lobster bisque. It was not sherry forward enough for me, but it was decent. We then had the waygu beef flank appetizer. It was good, but I didn't read it close enough- it said chèvre; that's goat cheese; I'm not a fan at all of goat cheese. But, I did have a few bites and aside from the chèvre, it was good. For the main course, we both had the surf and turf and it was fabulous! Beautiful presentation. It didn't look like much, but it felt like we just ate enough for three each. For dessert I had a peanut butter pie - it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. But, I wouldn't order it again. He got a creme de fraise in a pastry shell; it was very nice. I would order it.

The service was excellent throughout the meal. Our server, was absolutely lovely. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She was one of the highlights of the experience. We started with the steak tartare. It was decent, but a little saltier than I would have preferred. My biggest complaint was that the accompanying bread wasn't brushed with butter or olive oil, which made it feel a bit dry and out of place alongside such a rich dish. One thing that was disappointing was the portioning of the shareable sides. The menu describes them as serving 3 to 4 people, but in our experience they were much more realistically sized for about two people. That was frustrating, especially given the overall price point. For our entrees, we ordered the ribeye, bavette, and New York strip. All of the steaks were cooked well, but I found them to be good rather than great, especially considering the price point. They just weren't particularly memorable. The ribeye, in particular, leaned a bit too far toward fatty rather than beautifully marbled, so there was more unrendered fat than I would have liked. The steak sauces were enjoyable, but they also didn't stand out in any significant way. They were well made, but nothing especially unique or memorable. Overall, I enjoyed the evening, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service. However, for a steakhouse at this price point, I expected to be more impressed by the food. Everything was solid, but nothing really wowed me or left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back." It is disappointing to have buyers remorse from such a nice restaurant.

I ordered the steak frites, and every bite was fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly, the fries were crisp and flavorful, and even the horseradish crème fraîche was incredible. I'm usually not someone who gets excited about dipping sauces, but this one complemented the meal so well. The bartender was also outstanding. He recommended the chocolate mousse, saying he "could bathe in it." After trying it, I completely understood what he meant. It was rich, silky, and hands down one of the best chocolate mousses I've ever had. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Excellent food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere made this an easy five-star experience. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in Charlottesville.
