    Poke
    Lena M.

    I stopped here for a quick lunch on the way to the Northern Neck. I was seated immediately and taken care of by this really sweet waitress. I placed an order for the poke and read while I waited. Do know this review is just based off of two things I ordered. I'm sure there are other incredible things to get off the menu. However, the poke wasn't really for me. The rice felt a bit off, but was still filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a casual spot that feels pretty intimate. The seating is a bit in the back without windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a gender neutral single stall restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And there is free street parking outside. Before leaving I got a key lime pie that I really enjoyed. If I was in the area, I'd come back to try other things on the menu.

    Cute decor.

    A friend of mine and I drove to my hometown area for patio furniture shopping in Saluda and we stopped here for lunch. Even though I'm from WP, I've never been to The Blue Crab. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was really cute. Very nautical (of course).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm bummed we didn't go on Sunday!! AYCE crab legs?! Yum! But the food we ordered was very delicious. We started with the crab dip (kinda pictured in a corner shot) and then we both had the crab cake sandwich for our meal. The crab cake was hefty! All crab meat. I barely saw any filler. I miss the taste of blue crabs! Service was decent. We waited for a little bit to be seated.. it seemed like there was one server for the 14-18 people (6-7 tables).

    ****We went as a group of 5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a quaint little restaurant on Main Street in West Point. It was a cozy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Between all 5 of us we had: Cod Fish Sandwich Very good- the breading kept falling off the fish. It was moist. The fish was thick and juicy. Lemon Pepper Salmon Cooked "medium" with good flavor. Very flavorful and moist. The Brussels sprouts were yummy and the mashed potatoes had their skins in it. Everything was delicious. Crab dip The pita bread is like a fried chip. There is too much old bay for our liking but the dip itself is amazing!!! Poke Bowl- raw It is good, but too much pickled cabbage. She crab soup It was "on point". The cup is perfect. The bowl is too big- definitely a shareable item in a bowl. Calamari It was average. It was crispy and flavorful. The soup was better. It was not rubbery and fried well. Caramel Cheesecake The crust and caramel are make this cale VERY sweet. Too sweet. Key Lime pie It has a strong like taste to it. Probably one of the best. Very smooth. Carrot Cake The carrot cake is moist, and dense. It has a slight sweetness to it but the texture is slightly off. Our server was very attentive, however they switched out mid shift of our dinner. Then first server took our orders and was nice. The second waitress brought us the food, was attentive and upbeat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant does have dirty vents and a missing vent in the ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A hole in the wall but Food was really good. Service wasn't that great but will Definitely come back. Make sure try this spot in West Point.

    The Red Crab at the Blue Crab!

    What reads on the menu like an unassuming little fish sandwich, the cod sandwich came out beyond fascinating with incredibly delicious toppings. Reminiscent of the Caribbean it came topped with mango. Everything was delicious! Service was wonderful, as usual, and there is an adorable display with a blow up red Crab "sitting" on a bench.

    Carrot cake! BEST key lime pie I have ever had!

    Food is always Great! Service is wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the window seat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Drove to West Point just to dine at our favorite restaurant

    Oysters Benedict - fantastic
    Elizabeth F.

    What a lucky stop we made for lunch on our way home from the rivah! We decided to see if there was something other than fast food in West Point to stop for a bite to eat and we found the Blue Crab. Cute place serving a very nice brunch! This place was hopping (around Sunday noon), but we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. It did not take long for DH and me to decide what we wanted to eat. I had the oysters benedict and DH had the oyster po' boy and we decided to share an order of fried pickles. Pickles came out pretty quickly and were freshly made. They had a nice crunch and we enjoyed them as a warm up the main event. DH's po' boy sandwich was beautiful and came with a side of house made chips. He loved it. My oysters benedict was delicious. Each muffin had a very large oyster, hand breaded and fried to perfection. It was a nice contrast to the creamy hollandaise. DH and I were very pleased that their oysters were obviously not Sysco out of a bag. Service was friendly and helpful. We look forward to coming back.

    This was the best sea food I've had in a long time. My whole family cleaned their plates and were satisfied with everything!

    Wow, what a fun little hidden gem. This might be a place that local folks don't want you to know…read moreabout and the business sure doesn't need my help. The fact that they sell out so quickly every-single-day is a testament on their own. Everything I learned about this place was hear-say so take it with a grain of salt but their food does speak for itself (which I did in fact get a chance to try). First of all, they have a number of sandwiches that are pre-made and to my understanding, there's no customization. From what I can tell, they come on white bread (I think?), croissant, and focaccia but if you know me or my reviews, then you know I stopped looking once I saw focaccia. They sell out quickly so make sure you get there early enough to land you what you want and it's tucked away and hidden in the back of a really cool store you'll want to give yourself time to shop. And if all of that isn't enough, the sandwiches are themselves are phenomenal. An absolute must-visit and a perfect "take to the beach to be harassed by seagulls" lunch.

    My bestie recommended this place for our little beach snacks and sandwiches. I tried the heather…read moremini peanut and jellies on croissants and the Monroe Chicken sandwich . Sadly I had no leftovers because it was that good . What a cute little shops with all the little trinkets and gifts. The service was quick since it was served in already to go packaging in the cooler. Will be back
