In a 3 hour drive it is rare to come across a little spot that is so solid, great service and great food. We will be back. Highly recommend this gem. read more

The she crab soup is amazing! Good local place for lunch. Friendly service and the food comes out promptly. Vintage Main Street vibe.

It's a great place to spend a Sunday morning there. I like the crab cake and the she crab soup.

Wonderful service and food!. Perfect fried oysters, my favorite. Friendly and happy, comfortable and easy. read more

Stopped in for a bowl of she crab soup on a Saturday afternoon and wound up ordering a shrimp basket and clam strips as well. None of it disappointed! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of our clams and shrimp. For me, that she crab soup was the star of the show. The addition of some minced carrots meant there was a bit of unexpected texture to the flavorful cream base along with chunks of tender crab. Our server was attentive and we didn't have to wait long at all. Take time to explore the funky little downtown area after you eat. Check out the nearby thrift store that benefits the local Humane Society. Where else can you shop for treasures and also pet kittens? read more

We visited for dinner on short notice (coming thru town) - checked availability first thru FaceBook messenger. When they answered within minutes I knew we'd be happy. This is a small casual venue in a beautiful little town and as you can imagine, it's challenging to run a restaurant in today's environment! We were welcomed immediately by Taylor, seated and all the good stuff happened. The food is all site-made, serving sizes perfect, quality consistent across the dishes we had. This is a gem. The owner's story is also important - food industry background, entrepreneur, launching a group of five restaurants in about 3 years. Focused on quality and value in a casual environment. Stop in and we will be back for sure!! (PS we had she crab soup, buffalo shrimp, Mahi tacos, fresh clam strips with AMAZING fries, key lime pie and adult beverages. read more

Been there twice, out of everything first time, second time would not seat us due to lack of staff

My husband and I wanted seafood on a Monday evening. The Blue Crab was one of very few places open and, happily, close to our route from Williamsburg to our RV resort in Gloucester. We sat outside in front, a pleasant sidewalk scene. Our server, Jesse, quickly brought our dinner, all hot and delicious: Deep fried Brussel Sprouts, Fried Oysters, She Crab Soup, Crab Cakes with Green Beans & Smashed Potatoes, and an Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. We will be back. read more

This was a surprise find in a small town! This area of West Point is quiet and charming. I had the fried shrimp and they were very good. The husband had the shrimp and grits and it was the best we've ever had. We are from Louisiana, so we know good seafood! Highly recommend! read more

We love to sample regional cuisine when we travel. So we ate out one evening at the Blue Crab in West Point, VA, arriving from CA for a wedding in New Kent. It was somewhat different than we were used to. This place lives and dies by the deep fryer. Green beans came on the plate, not steamed with a little butter and lemon, but deep fried into barely recognizable oblivion. Crab cakes came as large piles of mush with a thin fried skin on both sides. Breaded shrimp was fresh, flavorful and tender but slightly undercooked. But the topper was the cauliflower appetizer. Deep fried and coated in a sweet sauce swimming in a mixture in the bowl. Ugh! But, the fried potatoes were awesome as was the salad. Finding our local Wente Chardonnay so far from home made this all so much better. About 3/4 through dinner I dropped my fork on the floor and the server retrieved it and took it away. And then never returned! Shared my wife's fork to finish the meal. This is your basic fish fry joint gussied up to be a restaurant. They try hard but they need a little upgrade in the kitchen staff to present a better level of seafood cuisine. read more

Sloooow! We were here 90 minutes for fish and chips and fish tacos. I think they forgot the fish and chips so the tacos were sitting for a while before the food came out. Tortillas were chewy and tacos were cold with too much sauce. read more

Blue Crab Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - West Point, Virginia

Stopped in for dinner on the drive home from Williamsburg. Easy to find street parking. We enjoyed fish n'chips, and the crab mac n'cheese special. The hushpuppies were very large but had a weird spicy aftertaste I didn't enjoy. The deviled eggs were good, but a bit heavy on the relish. They had a pretty tree up with crab ornaments for sale. It was worth the tiny detour to eat here! read more

Hope that the old axiom doesn't ring true... "New broom sweeps clean!" We've gone there several times! At first the French Fries were great, and the portions were humongous! Then portions started to shrink! I even asked for "Extra Fries" once, and got less than usual! Bill S. read more

The food and service was great! If you're in the area or driving through, I recommend stopping in. It's a nice cozy local spot with a friendly staff. read more

Always super friendly and great food! I love eating inside and outside as it a better location.

Been here a couple of times and always had great experiences. The servers are very nice and service is quick. Brought out refills as soon as our drinks were low and checked on our table several times. Everything is very reasonably priced. There were gluten free bread options if thats something you find important for an extra dollar. I got the calamari and she-crab soup and it was fantastic. My friends loved the fried chicken sandwich and crab cake sandwich. Also helps that the interior is very cute. read more

This little gem is definitely worth the drive to West Point for dinner! We try something new every visit and it does not disappoint!! The She-Crab soup is spot on. Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Had an awesome lunch of deep fried clams, hush puppies, crab cake sandwich, pasta salad and she crab soup. OK this is 2 lunches, we did share. Everything was great. I plan to return soon. read more

My husband and I tried out this resturant based on the reviews we saw. We were NOT disappointed! Everything was just wonderful! Loved the home cooked sides, which you don't find that often. They even use real french fires! Hubby had fish & shrimp, and I had the shrimp basket. We also had the homemade clam chowder and hush puppies. Topped it all off with a shared Molten Lava Cake with ice cream. Left stuffed with half of my dinner to take home for next day lunch! West Point's best kept secret! read more

Amazing place in West Point. We're locals and eat here all the time. Try the hushpuppies and Brussel sprouts. Hidden Gems.

Good food, good service, high prices. My daughter and I ate here recently and 1 pound of shrimp and two drinks came to about $32.

Came here for brunch, it's a little spot that you can easily miss if you aren't paying attention to where you are driving. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We chose indoor. Greeted immediately when we walked in and sat at a table. I ordered the flight of mimosas (pineapple, grapefruit, orange and cranberry) my boyfriend ordered the beer-mosa (shocktop beer with orange juice). As an appetizer we got the crab cake balls which were delicious. Entrees I went with the shrimp basket served with coleslaw and homemade French fries. I've had better coleslaw, it was not flavorful almost like it was just some chopped up veggies put together and served with absolutely no thought behind the coleslaw and seasoning. The shrimp were well cooked, nice crispy outside and the house fries were okay. My boyfriends burger had great flavor he really enjoyed it and finished off his plate. The overall atmosphere of the place is good, decor is done tastefully an ocean- beach theme. I would definitely give this place another try. read more

First time stopping in for lunch. Was boondocking nearby and found this place on Yelp. Not busy and service was friendly and fast. We loved the hush puppies with honey butter... loved them. I even ask for a another honey butter... Our server told us it was homemade and that she puts it on everything. We also had calamari for an appetizer... Was just OK. My husband had the crabcake sandwich which he enjoyed. Packed full of crab... Quite tasty. I had the shrimp tacos which were great. I love the pickled cabbage and the aïoli. Definitely glad we stopped. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food was fantastic! The service was superb!!! The gals at my chiropractor recommended I try it and I am so glad I did. Going back today for some more great shrimp!!! read more

Convenient location. Courteous service. Good food. Particularly enjoyed the clams and oysters.

Definitely didn't plan to find this little gem. Valentine's Day we were down in Williamsburg trying to go to Captain George's Seafood and the line was wrapped around the building outside to get in. So we looked at local seafood places between Williamsburg and Mechanicsville and this place popped up. There was no wait and no craziness about this place. Our waitress was amazing and their food was so good. I see why all the locals love it. The inside has a very beachy theme and really made you feel like you were at the beach eating seafood. Loved this cute little spot. We will definitely be back! read more

My husband and i ate here a couple of months back. It's a casual restaurant that practiced social distancing and sanitizing. The food that we ordered and subsequently ate was perfect. The clams my husband had were cooked just right. Too often they are over cooked and left rubbery. I highly recommend this place. read more

The Fish & Chips was very good! My husband ordered a blackened tuna sandwich. We were both pleased. We'll be back!

The food was good. The waitress was very nice. Definitely will eat there again. The town of West point is very cute.

I haven't written a Yelp review in awhile but I feel compelled to talk about my experience at The Blue Crab this weekend. Buckle up for a hometown review! Mom and I went to see a movie in Williamsburg (Downton Abbey for our lady date) and figured we'd grab some dinner after. It was early and what could stand in our way? Tourists! After getting hour wait times at several restaurants, we decided to head home. Maybe we'd go into Urbanna for some seafood? We decided to try The Blue Crab in West Point instead. It was a great choice! I had a crab cake dinner with coleslaw and hush puppies, Mom went with the scallop special. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of our meals! My crab cake had big lumps of crab and little filler, while Mom's scallops had a great sear and fresh taste. We were stuffed at the end and very happy with our decision. The restaurant was quiet for a Saturday but the staff was very courteous and helpful. As we'll be opening a brewery in the area soon, I will gladly recommend this as a stop for fresh, delish seafood! They also have non-seafood items such as their prime rib special, which I'm sure will please those land lovers! Middle Peninisula, check this place out! read more

Stumbled onto this little gem and so glad we did! We had she-crab soup, fried oysters, and shrimp tacos. Everything was delicious! Just wish they had clam chowder on the menu; I'm sure they would nail it! read more

We visited on the recommendation of the West Point Chamber of Commerce. Late lunch of crab cake sandwich and shrimp basket and must have hush puppies and crab fritters. Heavenly food all around. We ordered an off the menu special of crab Mac and cheese to take home. Seriously great food. Key lime pie and coffee were a very nice desert. We were up from Virginia Beach, but this food and service is WELL worth a drive. We'll be back, and probably with friends. read more

Save your money, and time. Went for breakfast a couple months ago. It was just ok. I thought I would order a side of fruit, with my French toast. The servers let me know, a side of fruit already came with it... 3 grapes. See picture. The service was bad. Food very overpriced for the quality... and quantity. We noticed there was a table across from the kitchen. There seemed to be a few local and regulars seated there.... they were openly catered to. This past weekend we decided to try again. We arrived a bit early. We sat outside waiting for the opening. During that time we observed a man pull up. He stayed in his truck. We went in to order. AFTER we ordered, this man came in.. walked into the doorway of the kitchen. He stood there and gave his order. And took a seat, at the table across from the kitchen. He was served his meal BEFORE any other patrons.. that had already ordered ahead of this man!!! It could be this man was family, friend etc. It really doesn't matter. The point is the optics!!! He was served before everyone else. He was given blatant preferential treatment!! Sure makes the other patrons (who made a conscious effort to eat/shop local) feel extremely under valued. So, I was careful to watch the time, as it took A VERY LONG time to get our order, the first visit. Again, we waited a very long time. Mind you, on both occasions there is only one cook. A very slow cook. I ordered the French toast again. It was extremely overwhelming with the amount of cinnamon! Way TOO much. And guess what?? NO fruit... even though the menu does state so! The service was awful!!! The food is awful. Value is awful. I will take my hard earned money elsewhere. Somewhere I feel appreciated and valued, and can get even remotely decent French toast. read more

Wonderful little seafood dive. Everything was delicious but the shrimp, which were very lightly battered, were a particular treat. The crab pretzel was a hit with kids and adults alike. Desserts were very good but the apple pie stood out. Service was friendly, responsive, and fast. read more

This was well worth the stop on our way to Williamsburg. Cute restaurant with a local feel. Very clean and I give the staff and owner an A+. Food was the best part. Cant say enough about how this is a great place to eat and very reasonably priced. read more

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Blue Crab. The hush puppies were great and the fried shrimp flavorful and tender, but the real star was the crab cakes. They were large, free of breading, and local - the best we've had. Our 8 year old son has deemed it to be the #NumberOneRestaurant in Virginia! read more

Absolutely amazing all around. The service, the food, the variety, etc. Everything about this restaurant was 5 stars. I have a severe dairy and tomato allergy and the waitress went above and beyond answering all of my annoying questions. It's rare a restaurant actually takes the time to properly cook fish and this place did an exceptional job. We will absolutely be back! read more

New ownership has transformed this restaurant into something beautiful and fantastic. Great food + great service = my family becoming regulars! Very much recommend the crab drip, the Caesar salad dressing is absolutely on point, and for a seafood place they also have incredible burgers and bbq. read more
