    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. It's a casual spot that feels pretty intimate. The seating is a bit in the back without windows. They have a gender neutral single stall restroom. 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. The decor was really cute. Very nautical (of course). 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. This is a quaint little restaurant on Main Street in West Point. It was a cozy atmosphere. 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. The restaurant does have dirty vents and a missing vent in the ceiling.

    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. Love the window seat . 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.

Then the boy that works the restaurant has a piss poor attitude. I would not say that on one bad experience with this guy. He's always in a nasty mood.

If someone has had a good experience with this guy, consider yourself the elite! All of my family have been there and spent plenty of money there.

In the past several months, on 3 occasions, (the latest yesterday - FRIDAY - 05.15.26) I have stopped by during posted business hours only to find the infamous little hand written sign taped to the inside of the door saying 'Closed Today'. Last month, I DROVE TO WEST POINT ONLY TO GET SOME CRAB MUFFINS - and, of course the business was closed. If the store is actually closed for good - the web site should post that. I'm sure quite a lot of people have driven there and left disappointed. Guess I'll just have to try to remember how good the crab muffins WERE - as obviously they have become extinct.

We waited like 20 minutes and nothing... the server who had taken our order came to the table and asked if we ordered. We were like yeah, about 20 minutes ago. He must have been high because he goes.. "my bad, I forgot to tell the kitchen". Forget dude... and we were out! Then he goes outside for a smoke! For realz!! The restrooms were disgusting. Trash runneth over and the floors were filthy! Ugh! Nuff said!! There were a few tables outside, but from there you can smell the refinery/paper mill which assaults the olfactory receptors !

    One of my new favorite weekend spots…read more The owner is super friendly. The staff is quick and attentive, even when the place is packed. I love the fact that they have outside seating right on the water, you couldn't ask for a more beautiful scenery to have lunch at. Everything as far as food that I've tried here has been great. There's never a question of if we're gonna get crab dip. I definitely recommend trying it. If you're just craving a snack and a couple drinks, they have a decent little charcuterie board and a few other little apps to put something on your belly. My sister and I shared a pasta and it was very good, I appreciate that the sauce didn't upset my stomach. Overall, if you want a chill weekend spot or even somewhere to eat for a business brunch, this is one of my top picks in the area. Don't pass it up if you have the time for it!!

We ended up at the Salty Siren for two reasons, one, it was recommended by one of the guides at the Henricus Historical Park as being near the Farrar's Island historical marker (ancestors) and it was on the river. The view was gorgeous. We were promptly seated at an outdoor table overlooking the water. Our server, Jodi H., greeted us with a smile and offered to get our drinks and our calamari appetizer. It was excellent. Light, crispy, fresh with a few fried jalapeños for zing. The dip served with them was really good. I ordered fried oysters, which came with authentic hush puppies (which for this southerner means no sugar!) and I ordered the vegetable of the day (steamed broccoli) to sort of make up for the "fried". My husband ordered the grilled salmon. His salad was huge and the vegetables were so fresh that I filched some of his cucumbers. His salmon was amazing. It was perfectly cooked and it was so moist and tender. We will try to return if we are ever travelling this way again. Try The Salty Siren. Even if you don't go looking for the mile maker afterwards.
