The staff and even some fellow customers were very accommodating to my friends to help them get seated. Other customers were excited to let my friends know that it is worth the trip. The trip was two+ hours one way. My fried oysters, cheese chive potatoes, asparagus, and crab cake were superb. The cheese samplers were on point. My one friend could not have the nuts and my other friend had some different food allergy that I don't remember- so I had to eat all three samplers because fingers crossed I have no food allergies and I like to minimize food waste as part of being more sustainable and my own culture. I seem to have missed a picture of the Jellyfish Sting drink I had. It was flavorful enough and I liked the rose syrup in particular. The blueberry lemonade cocktail was sweet like I like my drinks. The key lime has a cashew crust that sounds like it compliments the key line well and I had it the last time and loved it. I am not sure if they always use cashew crust. My guess would be yes. Unfortunately one of my friends is allergic to nuts and he could not have it. I believe all the food is made from scratch and it certainly tastes that way. I think the quality prepared seafood and the making from scratch contribute to the limited opening hours of this restaurant. If you are in the area, a must visit if you like seafood. 5/25/26: I forgot to add that I was impressed that they added a mocktail menu and vegan chicken as an option. I think that they should have a vegan seafood option as well being a top notch seafood place in keeping up w the present times for what people would like for options within reason.

We tried this seafood spot for breakfast while on vacation and were glad we did. We started with…read morethe fried green tomatoes, which were tasty, but the standout was the grilled crab cake on my Surf & Turf Platter. It was packed with large chunks of crab instead of mostly filler--exactly what a crab cake should be. Service was friendly, and when half the restaurant is filled with locals, you know you've found a good place. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars was the sausage links. They were dry, had a flaky texture on the outside, and an odd flavor, which was surprising since our waitress highly recommended them. Even so, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in town to try their lunch or dinner menu.

Came here with my family on a Saturday afternoon and really appreciated the ample outdoor seating…read moreon such a beautiful day. Service was friendly, welcoming, and impressively fast from start to finish. The water was also crisp and refreshing, and I appreciated that they were generous with the lemon slices. The menu leans heavily toward fried foods, but I was glad to see several grilled seafood options available as well. The grilled flounder and the grilled shrimp and scallops were the standout dishes for me. Super fresh and well prepared as they were all super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The scallops in particular were incredibly tender, fresh tasting, and completely free of any sandy texture. The seafood honestly did not need help from any sauces because the flavor and texture stood well on their own. That is why I found the condiment situation a little puzzling. Each plate came with a large serving of tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter sauce, while the grilled tuna additionally came with a pink sauce that reminded me of sriracha mayo, Thousand Island dressing, or yum yum sauce. I personally only used a little of the lemon butter on my broccoli but nothing else. We took the rest home so not to waste it but largely still found them unnecessarily. While the seafood should have been the star of the show, the condiments ended up being a much larger serving size than the seafood was. Rather than automatically serving several large cups of sauce, it might make more sense to simply ask guests which sauces they would like to have. There were six shrimp, though they were fairly small, and only two scallops. Given how exceptional the scallops were, I would have happily traded some of the extra sauces for a few more of them. The portions for the grilled tuna and burger however appeared much larger than the grilled shrimp and scallops entrée or grilled flounder. The sides however were much more generous. The broccoli was perfectly steamed and paired nicely with the lemon butter sauce. The hush puppies came automatically with every meal. While I would personally prefer having a healthier alternative available, my brother enjoyed them and described them as crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a genuine corn flavor and just the right amount of salt. Overall, these were very enjoyable meals; the service was excellent, the outdoor seating was pleasant, the seafood was fresh and skillfully prepared, and the sides were generous. One thing to keep in mind is that if you order the grilled flounder or shrimp and scallops as a lunch meal it may not be enough food to keep you full.

A special shoutout to our waitress, Nikki, who was amazing. We had several substitutions, sides, and food allergies within our group, and what could have easily turned into incorrect orders was handled perfectly.

Highly recommend trying the fried chicken, shrimp and crab omelette, and the home fries. Everything was flavorful and prepared perfectly. Great food, outstanding service, and a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend!

Outer Banks Boil Company should really change its slogan to: "You buy it, you pick it up, you cook…read moreit, and somehow you still tip us." Don't get me wrong--the seafood was fresh, tasty, and the seasoning was spot on. The problem isn't the food. The problem is the sticker shock when you realize you just paid $115 for what amounts to about 2 clusters of crab legs, roughly 1.5 pounds of shrimp, a few ears of corn, some red potatoes, onion slices, butter, and Old Bay. For that price, I was expecting a feast worthy of a pirate king. Instead, it felt more like a very expensive scavenger hunt where I still had to go home and cook everything myself. The biggest surprise? The tip prompt when you pick it up. So let me get this straight: I place the order, drive to get it, carry it home, boil it myself, clean up the kitchen afterward, and I'm still being asked to tip on top of premium pricing? That's a bold business model. The included boil bucket is nice, but unless that bucket is secretly paying my electric bill and washing the dishes afterward, it's hard to justify the cost. Bottom line: The food is good. Really good. But for $115, I couldn't help thinking I could have made the same meal from the grocery store for around $45 and had enough left over for dessert and a six-pack. If convenience is your thing, go for it. If value is your thing, bring your own bucket.

They even wrote me an apology note (again NOT their fault at all it was delicious). I have been there twice this week and both times the food tasted fresh and amazing and it was genuinely the sweetest nicest interaction I have had to date at a restaurant ever and I'll absolutely be coming back.

I must be entirely candid I never expected Virginia Beach to harbor such an exciting culinary destination. This place was an absolute triumph. Upon arrival, we pulled into a wonderfully spacious parking lot, which immediately sets a relaxed tone. At first glance, the architecture possesses the charming, intimate feel of a private estate. The decor throughout is absolutely stunning. One is given the option to dine inside their lovely dining room or to sit comfortably right along the water's edge. Naturally, we chose the river view, and the ambiance was nothing short of magical. The hospitality was top-tier from the moment we arrived. Our waiter was exceedingly friendly and attentive, suggesting the Blossom Hill Cocktails to begin. It was a thoroughly interesting, refreshing warm up to the meal, and I absolutely loved it. For the main course, I settled on the Chicken Parmesan pasta, and it was executed to perfection. Between the flawless cuisine, the majestic location, and the sophisticated atmosphere, this establishment is an absolute haven for a proper date night. Everything was simply perfect, and we shall most certainly be returning

Each table gets complimentary sweet potato biscuits. They don't tell you this so when you order a half dozen biscuits you'll be surprised when you get so many of them. Then they arrive undercooked, looking like someone had a vendetta against following a recipe. They looked and tasted like a mushy, undercooked cookie. Fried shrimp was mostly bread and tough. Crab legs were overcooked and dry. Sweet potato fries were mushy, like they were frozen fries that were heated and then reheated in the microwave after sitting out. Mashed potatoes were somehow crunchy like it was instant mix that wasn't mixed properly. I don't understand how there was such a long line for this place when there are other greater restaurants in VB.

That is totally incorrect as our fully trained Dog was in your reception area no longer than 12 to 15 seconds before we were told we could not bring her in. And they were told she had to have a vest that said service dog. I've taken her to many other establishments here in Virginia Beach and no problems whatsoever. As for my experience, I'm retired but I have 45 plus years in the business. I've operated multiple outlets at one time. Also restaurants that have had over 400 seats. A major comparison to your tiny outlet. I've even operated a restaurant where we once did 418 covers in a sit-down full-service restaurant from 6:00 until 10:15. It is called knowing how to turn the tables. It is still a record to this date. So I definitely know that I have the experience to make a full and clear objective comment regarding your restaurant. As for the Ho chi Minh comment, maybe you folks should approach the Virginia Beach city council and tell them you need to close until they get the road condition improved. They should be willing to give you a government handout after all, I am sure you took one during the covid epidemic. By the way, I have over 10 years experience with the department of Defense/ United States Marine Corps operating their food and beverage outlets. And during the epidemic we remained open after 3 days because we set up a food to go program that serviced our military personnel. Just work on improving your little outlet. You may be getting better comments in the future.
