I stopped in to see if they had blue crabs, so I could have two dozen steamed/spiced for my drive back to Philly. I originally planned to stop at my favorite place in Rehoboth Beach, but when I called in advance to place the order, I learned the the shop was closed this week so their family could travel. Unfortunately, DeMaria's didn't have any blue claws, because according to the owner/manager, her brother didn't set the traps in Chesapeake Bay to catch them. Too bad, because I probably would have taken their entire catch. But, I learned on my trip home that the three other crab shacks I stopped at on Delmarva were all closed on Monday, if not Tuesday as well. My crab karma just wasn't working. I accepted my fate with a smile, knowing both I and those beautiful Blues would live to enjoy another day.

I Think I Found My New Seafood Spot!…read more Fuller's Raw Bar is an absolute hidden gem in Hampton. This was one of those meals where I kept thinking, "Okay, surely everything can't be this good." But apparently it can. I started with the seasonal watermelon margarita, and my only complaint is that I didn't order two. It was refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. Next came the oyster flight. We went ahead and ordered a dozen, and they were another hit. Fresh, delicious, and definitely something I'd order again. My one tiny request: give me some Tabasco with my oysters instead of regular hot sauce and we are officially in business! For my entrée, I ordered the steamed seafood platter, and when I tell you I ate the ENTIRE platter...I mean there was nothing left to discuss. It came loaded with oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, and crab legs, along with cocktail sauce and hot drawn butter. Everything was cooked beautifully, and that drawn butter made it straight-up finger-licking good. And then there were the catfish and grits. Listen. I don't know whose Big Momma is back there making those grits, but please tell her I said thank you. Creamy, flavorful, comforting--those are the kind of grits that make you stop talking for a minute because you need to concentrate on what just happened. I would order them every single time. The portions were generous, the prices felt very fair for the amount and quality of seafood we received, and overall the meal exceeded my expectations. Fuller's Raw Bar officially earned a spot on my Hampton rotation. Great seafood, generous portions, fair prices, and Big Momma-level grits? Say less. I think I just found my new go-to seafood spot.

Didn't taste fishy, but was flaky and tender! Food check!! Yummy! I like the paper towels on the table, good call! We thoroughly enjoyed stopping here for a meal and we left "full" at Fullers!! We definitely want to come back!

This past weekend, I visited, and it happened to be Restaurant Week. My go-to meal is their crab cake sandwich and fries, but I ventured out and tried their special: New England Clam Chowder and Seafood Mac and Cheese. The chowder was okay. The clams were a little chewy and it lacked flavor; needed a few more dashes of salt at the least. The seafood Mac and Cheese had potential. The crab meat on top looked enticing. The noodles were cooked to perfection. But the flavor was also lacking. It was not cheesy enough to call a Mac and cheese and again needed more salt and/or other seasonings. There also wasn't much seafood to boast about. Maybe a scallop or 2, a very small quantity of shrimp....the crab meat and roll were the highlight. 3 STARS (for this visit). The service was GREAT! Attentive, fast, and friendly. But I was disappointed with this dish. I'll be back. I'll get my crab cake!

The view and decorations inside really right high on the style scale. We saw a beautiful sunset, but we ate our dinner. We got cute mini ducks in our bar drinks and the orange crush and margarita came with extra flair. I also love the attention to detail with adding a crab on top of the crab dip with old bay. The crab dip was good and served with sliced Italian loaf bread. It was good, but in my opinion, not quite as good as another local restaurant that serves pita bread and chips with their crab dip. ( no name shall be mentioned but if you know, you know). I had the broiled seafood platter and it was ok. I would have enjoyed it more without the bearnaise sauce on top as I think it detracted from the seafood. I had a salad as one of my sides and it was very fresh. I had a loaded baked potato that was really delicious but it came out as I was finishing my seafood. Our table also had a few Krabby patties and they were a good size but could have used a bit more crab. The salmon salad was good and vegetables were fresh and crispy. My husband said his blackened chicken sandwich was overcooked which made it dry and chewy. Our waitress was very soft spoken so hard to her especially when the restaurant was pretty full for dinner on a Friday. Overall mixed reviews from our group of 5. It's a little out of the way for us but was a good halfway point from where the rest of our dinner party was coming from. My husband doesn't eat seafood so the options are limited to a chicken sandwich or a burger and he struck out with the sandwich so I'm not sure that we'll be heading back soon. Overall good value and might be best for happy hour, apps and enjoying the sunset on the James river.

The fixtures are rusted and the paneling(boards) need updating. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. It goes downhill from here. Johnny, our server was slow as molasses and kept getting lost. After a while he took our order and forgot to bring my salad. The food took almost an hour to come out, we were about to leave and they said the food is ready. The place was not crowded at all so I knew the cook had to be new. The flounder was dry and lacked flavor. The she crab was watery and bland. The baked potato was overcooked. The coleslaw was not mixed and big globs of mayonnaise were not mixed in. The salad was horrible. Overall it was a bad experiment and I do not plan on returning.
