Best Fish and Chips I've Ever Had! Wicker's Crab Pot Does. Not. Miss. Crispy, golden perfection on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. They were absolutely massive. Like... borderline hilarious how big this piece was. I had to take a picture. Their she crab soup is also a must have. I was surprised at how much crab meat was in there! They definitely don't skimp. If you're a seafood lover or just someone with taste buds, Wicker's is a must. I'm already plotting my return. 10/10. read more

Everything was PERFECT from the food to Brittany being our waitress. She kept it real and loved that from her. She recommended great choices and my lady and i enjoyed everything. We will be making this a normal date night for us. First time was everything. Thank you Brittany for the wonderful service you provided read more

Friendly and attentive service, food was promptly delivered after ordering, and the place was pleasantly clean for a crab cracking restaurant. The Jimmies were pretty good (they hit the spot, but the meat didn't slide out of the shell), and the Crab Balls were just ok (they were a mid-version of Baltimore's crab puffs). Overall, it was the service that would make me recommend Wicker's. read more

Was really disappointed. Can't eat poopoo shrimp....eeeeeew! Waitress says, oh we don't devein, obviously but why not??? All other restaurants do? Hushpuppies were cold. Waitress didn't offer to refill my wine or to bring water. Hubbie's tuna wrap was good. She crab soup was too. Overall would probably go elsewhere for seafood, like Dockside. read more

Looking for quality local seafood? This is a must-try in the 757! Went on a rainy day, not too busy, but not completely dead. If you got lost walking around looking for the front door, you're not alone lol. Staff is great - probably the highlight of the entire experience. They were very attentive and hospitable - something I definitely look for/am vigilant about in any establishment. Thanks Sara! We started with she crab soup. I would've taken a picture but I devoured it. It was my favorite thing on the menu so far. Very crabby, not watery. Not too thick and very mild and tasteful. The mid-Atlantic is known for this dish and they give it its just-due at wickers. We got the seafood platter and the stuffed shrimp with crab. Seafood platter: Oyster, scallop, shrimp, flounder, and a small crab can in a shell. you can only get it all fried or all broiled, no mix and match. Stuffed shrimp: good and tasty, pretty pricey for such a small amount of crab and shrimp was cooked perfectly, but just in a normal way. Dirty rice was really good but the broccoli was water as it was just steamed with no seasoning or edible presentation. All in all, everything was good and I'm looking forward to returning for another experience. read more

My waitress Lexi was amazing she made amazing drinks and she was definitely nice. She made the environment laughable and fun. She had a positive attitude and got our food to us quickly. If I was the boss I would definitely give her a raise. read more

Wickers is a local favorite. I personally like going during the warmer times of year as they have outdoor seating and often have live music. The crab boil is delicious and the atmosphere is suited as such. Wait staff has been hit or miss but not horrible. Cocktails are ok but nothing imaginative. If you are looking for a fun night out during a hot summer night go here and have a couple beers. read more

The worst. Had a party downstairs and refused to serve 3 women upstairs drink for the bar. Within 10 minutes they served 4 men at that the same bar drinks. The server was rude talking about customers behind the bar with other customers at their "no serving" bar. No manager in sight. Hole in the wall not worth your time or money! read more

Food and service was good. Prices reasonable. Decor was familiar for coastal seafood restaurant.

First time trying this place and it was very good. The ambiance is not the best, it isn't fancy or anything, so if that is what you are expecting, you won't be getting that, it's more if a local small place, a bit of a bar setting. The she crab soup was one of the best I've ever had. It was FULL of crab meat and the flavor was very good. The raw oysters were a great deal so we got a dozen. They were very good but a little dirty, probably could have been cleaned a bit better. For meals we got the crab stuffed shrimp and the scallops. The shrimp were very good. Came with a lot so I could not finish it after the appetizers. My SO said the scallops were also good. Both came with 2 sides, or 1 side and a salad. I opted for the broccoli with hollandaise (sauce is extra) and sweet potato fries. The portions were huge. For dessert we got the bread pudding to go, because again we were stuffed. It was delicious! I would eat here again for sure. read more

I recently took my two sons (12, 8) to Wickers to try crabs for the first time. You can tell immediately that the seafood in Wickers is fresh as they sell you crabs to go if you wish-this is not a chain restaurant like several others in the area. We ordered half a bushel of crabs and a few soft shell crab sandwiches. Everything we ordered was listed at market price as expected. Our service was a little slower but I chalked that up to it being a Friday night. The venue is in an older house with bar and outdoor seating. I would recommend wickers to a more mature crowd, my boys loved the experience and I certainly plan on returning. read more

Had dinner there last Monday afternoon with my daughter who was visiting from the West Coast but she agreed, the food was fresh and well seasoned. The portions were adequate. The server met us with a pleasant smile and was timely in serving us. The building itself lends to a folkie type of environment but with the nautical display of art many stories be told. I will be back! read more

We are visiting from the northwest and very likely move here (for work) by end of summer 2023. I wanted a great crab Cajun boil for our last day dinner. After all, seafood should be excellent here. Went to a couple of seafood restaurants (Asian and American) for the past two days and must admit seafood is EXCELLENT! FRESH! He picked this place claiming one of the restaurants that serves the best crab cakes. Before I put the review on CC and my steam boiled shrimp and crab, let's review the restaurant itself. 1. Didn't really order cocktails or specific drinks, just got an ice water with a slice of lemon. Hum. Yuck! The water has this distinctive smell (bad way). So I asked for bottled drinks; preferably bottled sparkling water or any bottled drinks. None. Hence, I got a coke. Something with their soda machine that... creates this yucky smell. this will be tough since I ordered spicy Cajun. If I order a cocktails, how many I need to tame the fire in my mouth. Will I get drunk and both my mouth and butt on fire? Darn! I should have brought my bottled water from the hotel. 2. Well, I am going to have a steamed boil. I need to wash my hands. Oh shit! Went to the bathroom, didn't even lock the door, I couldn't. The nasty smell, combination of fishy, damp, musty, aarrgghh so traumatizing! Gosh! I f-ing hate my husband by now. 3. Food. Oh gosh! I ended up eating only 1 shrimp and tell them to pack it up. I'll just give it to the bell boy at the hotel. I can't even begin how to write the taste of this food. Of course my dumb husband enjoys his salad because he didn't want to admit that the taste is below mediocre. It's NOT a boil like the Crab Boil restaurant. I ordered the garlic lemon pepper, didn't even taste any garlic or pepper. Cajun seasoning is NOT cajun sauce. I am definitely pissed! Well, the shrimp is pretty fresh and sweet. If you like a standard boiled shrimp, you may like this rest. Or, just go to a seafood market and buy shrimp and boil it yourself at home. Cheaper! If you want to come here, be prepared to smell a bad ventilation restaurant. Ugh. read more

First time buying crabs from here as they came highly recommended. They were not good. I'm gonna be serious. They were packaged well but many of the crabs were OLD and some had barnacles on them. I've NEVER been sold crabs that were not handled with care. One was completed spoiled. I am not saying that all of their food is bad, but this batch should not have been sold and especially not for $160 bucks this was more like a 60 buck mystery bag to me. Do better. read more

I like the fried crabs! When I go to Wicker's I feel a sense of nostalgia my father would always have blue crabs for us, steamed, fried and deviled. I once had a bad fried crab with barnacles on top of its shell. But overall this is my go to place for crabs. I have tried a few different places but they don't come close to Wicker's batter for frying crabs. The outside service is okay, I feel that the person who takes the order should be a little more patience, helpful understanding when taking the orders (redneck vibes). read more

OH MY GOSH BECKY! THIS FOOD IS SO GOOD! We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Becky's birthday at Wicker's Crabpot, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was. Our group was quite large--25 people--and yet everything went so smoothly from start to finish. Hunter and Hailey were incredibly helpful in organizing the event, making sure every detail was taken care of ahead of time. On the day of our celebration, Sarah was our waitress, and she was absolutely fantastic. She managed our large group with patience, warmth, and genuine attentiveness, ensuring that everyone felt taken care of. The food, of course, was the star of the evening. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left everyone raving about their meals. From appetizers to main dishes, every plate showcased just how great Wicker's Crabpot is at what they do. This restaurant truly knows how to make an event special. Between the outstanding service, the welcoming atmosphere, and the incredible food, our celebration was a huge success. Thank you to the whole team at Wicker's Crabpot for making Becky's birthday so memorable--we'll definitely be back! read more

Every thing that a crab shack should be! The vibes are pure old school. Good food and great service. Happy employees. Don't miss seeing Britney in the downstairs bar. Parking is limited so try the off hours. Either way you will not be disappointed. read more

The food is always good at Wickers. We tried the Deviled Crabs this time (not pictured) and it was really good. The Mac and cheese, green beans and dirty rice were all seasoned so well. I definitely like the fried seafood platter better, but we are trying to eat healthy so the broiled platter was a good substitute. Wicker's will always be a family favorite. read more

If you ever in the area, you NEED to come here! ALSO they have the best priced Raw Oyster bushels in the area!! read more

The only good thing was the fried deviled crab! It is like 3 restaurants in 1, as the waitress explained. Went for the fried crab but found out you can only get them to go. you can't go get them at the to-go restaurant and being them in to eat with your family because it is not allowed. You can't eat them at the outside bar because it is not allowed. The streamed crabs were dry and tasteless, the corn was . They charge gratuities for 6 and over. Which I don't mind but if I pay gratuity and owed .59 back to me I want my .59 back. Don't assume that I'm adding to that amount to the tip. If you charge for using a card and I pay with cash I want my money back. You didn't give me anything for free read more

The server was awesome she was running our whole area herself and was on point. The food was fantastic as well!

SELLING FOOD GONE BAD. Nobody was there, and for good reason. The food was old and way overpriced. $34 for 4 shrimp, 4 scallops, 4 oysters, a deviled crab, and one flounder filet. The corn was at least 3 days old. It was brownish grey and tasted extremely stale. The deviled crab imperial was SOUR/inedible, and the cole slaw tasted like it was from a grocery store container. Even the she crab soup was super thick and had a strong sherry after taste. You're better off at Red Lobster. We had to ask for plates for the hush puppies, napkins, tarter and cocktail sauce. With two orders of the captains feast you'd think they would bring that out. The people were nice, but the servers were chatting and distracted. It's just unacceptable for a seafood spot to bring out two day old seafood, no matter the price they are charging. Avoid this place. It's gone way downhill. read more

Wicker's Crab Pot - Captains "Feast"-$34 - Seafood Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I really enjoy Wicker's. I've been on several occasions and each time, I walked away having a really good meal. In the past, I've had their fried oysters, salmon, and flounder and all were really good. Today, I had the fried shrimp and hush puppies and they did not disappoint. The reason I'm leaving a review this time is because the bartender was really nice, attentive and gave everyone an equal amount of attention. She did a really nice job. I also wanted to leave a review because it hit me today, that Wickers has a wide array of affordable options. Sure, you can go for the more expensive dinner plates but they also have some really good food options at a reasonable price. A nice combination. I really recommend Wickers if your looking for some good seafood. read more
