    Surry Seafood is an excellent place for lunch. It's a real destination to enjoy views of the tranquil water. They offer the same menu at lunch and at dinner, as well as some specials, which are posted on the chalk board when you enter the restaurant. The crab and shrimp quesadilla is huge and delicious. The crab cake sandwich on a potato bun also is quite good. It comes with fries too. There are lots of choices for food and beverages at Surrey Seafood, and it's a very popular place. We go early to ensure we can get a table without waiting. Even if we had to wait, it's well worth it.

    The staff here were so nice and quick with the food. The raw oysters were kinda small and wasn't worth the money. The scallops were good though. So buttery and perfectly seasoned with nice crisp fries

    Bo was amazing! She recommended the best dishes and provided perfect customer service. She was so kind, she gave us a list of affordable things to do while on our first visit to Williamsburg, VA. We will definitely return! If you stop in, the steamed shrimp and hush puppies were exquisite. We sat outside right off the marina.

    Great meal on a busy Saturday night! Food Standouts: Fried Shrimp Crabcake Mashed potatoes French fries The crab bisque Salad Oysters Rockefeller Raw Oysters Fried fish Basically everything we ordered was delicious. Love that they have tarter and cocktail sauce in bottles. Cocktails and beer were also good! Great sweet waitress even though she was slammed and had many tables she was always smiling and made sure we were taken care of. It's right on the water with indoor and outdoor seating. From there side there are plenty of tables with views of the water. Will be back!

    This place to me was worth it for the view alone. The food was not super impressive. But the crab soup was delicious. They were very generous with the chunks of crab meat. The shrimp was good. However, the coleslaw and hush puppies weren't the best. The hush puppies were dry and the coleslaw just was kind of disappointing and bland. The fried oysters were also not the best. But the staff was really nice and friendly. We drove about an hour from Richmond to try this place out. Heard that they were dog friendly, and brought our dog. And they took us to this section of the patio they have designated as the dog friendly section. And brought us a bowl of water for her. We had an incredible view of the water and surrounding nature from where we were sitting. It's so beautiful and peaceful out there. The staff were great. And the service was really fast.

    Not sure why the rating is so low! Family came here after crossing on the Jamestown-Scotland ferry thing and this place was packed and looked great. Ordered buffalo wings app, salmon salad, the specials: blacked combo of tuna, scallops, and shrimp, and rainbow trout which both came with two sides, and I ordered the fish and chips. Food was amazing and not expensive for seafood! Definitely order the specials. Loved that they brought out malt vinegar to put on fish and chips and server was super nice as well.

    I went to Surry Seaford for th3 1st time on 7/18 for dinner . This dinner was amazing th3 food was wicked great and the service as well. We had Hannah as out waitress, and she was fabulous, she made sure that we were taken care of all needs was met. They do have scenic views are the water. If you sit by the window, also, you can walk around outside as well and enjoy the views.

    The service was pretty good, the food was good. Prices were decent. I would recommend trying this place if you're in the area.

    We had an awesome dinner, and stay, here. The food was incredible and the setting just the perfect way to end our day of exploration. It was a music night and the singer was enjoyable, the place hopping, and our waitress a true delight. Highest recommendation and I will go out of my way to have dinner here in the future.

    This was a totally excellent experience. First of all, to drive on the Ferry to get to Surry County was exciting. Looking out on the James River was absolutely beautiful, and FREE. After reaching the other side it's maybe a couple of miles to reach this very cute and delicious restaurant. The hostess was friendly and we were seated immediately. There is no bad seat, because all have views of the James River with outdoor seating as well. Private boats docked right off of the boat walk. I ordered buffalo wings as an appetizer. The wings were crispy and sauced perfectly. PERFECT !!!. Next the Fried Flounder, Fries, Cole slaw, and hush puppies with a delicious cocktail called "End Of Summer Blues". Delicious!!!! Oh yeah back to the food. The fish was golden brown, very lightly battered with the evidence of being fresh, not prepackaged frozen. Ok, the fork went in getting a crunch and after reaching my mouth, I smiled with a oooooh this is good. The slaw was FRESHLY made and delicious. The fries were golden brown but didn't have the Potato taste of approval that fries shoukd have. They just tasted different. I'll order something else on the Next visit. The server was busy but gave all of her customers that one on one excellent customer service. I also ordered to go a peice chocolate cake that was small, but absolutely delicious. Sooooo good, I just wished it was a little bigger. The food portions were pretty good, so I did have a to go bag with my dessert. This is the PERFECT date place, or hanging out with a friend like I did. Very Satisfying Place !!!!!

    Food was very good, fairly priced we ate on the deck. Service was good. Beautiful day with a good view. Found this place while talking to a local on the ferry.

    Food and service was excellent. Great view looking over the water. Bread pudding alone is worth the visit

    Look, c'mere lemmie tell you something .... The way I ate that sandwich was OBSCENE . The next time…read moreI get one I'm gonna have to eat it under a sheet to hide my shame. It was a weekday after work. I went to my homegirl's house because I missed her birthday I offered to take her out someplace nice. She said no way man and immediately said we were going to this sandwich shop. This was the only thing she wanted. So we were gonna veg out on her couch. Have a couple cocktails and whatever else and watch something on TV. And her new couch is the bees knees. For me, the sandwich was perfect. The bread was beautiful and crusty. I was afraid it was going to be toasted and too crusty, and I'd be fighting to bite it and my sandwich guts spilling out while cutting up my gums and the roof of my mouth like it's Captain crunch or something.. BUT NO! It was PERFECT to bite through. They load you up with the meat they're not stingy. And the sauces... BABY! The aïoli was fantastic. My only beef is that horseradish aioli needed a little bit more of a kick, but that's a personal problem. My friend got the chicken Caesar and I see why it's popular. It is so garlicky and delicious. I already have plans on what I'm gonna get next time I go and I don't live close so it's gonna take a special trip and I intend to make it.

    First time trying Chimbo after hearing great things. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken. Here are the…read morepros: Friendly staff, wait time, points for creativity, and sandwich size (comes with chips)! Cons: While I understand the sandwich requires a strong vessel to hold the toppings, the bread was very thick and tough. The fillings did not match the bread proportion on this particular sandwich. The chicken breast was extremely overcooked and difficult to chew. Several pieces were leather-like in texture. Maybe chicken thighs would work better. I love the creativity of this sandwich and I get where they were trying to go, but the finished product was disappointing. A new line cook was being trained so perhaps this accounted for the miss. I've seen photos of the other sandwiches and they look delicious with better proportioned fillings. Not sure if I'll give it another try, but shoutout to all their fans in Church Hill.
