35 Best Seafood Restaurants near Grafton

“Stopped here for quick lunch. Good selection of seafood with many options ( fried, steamed, etc). Fried shrimp and fish were well prepared. Staff were patient explaining options. One star deducted for charging .25 for cup of water -- neither menu or staff mention that. Really? It's the South, who charges for water??“

“Very disappointed with our meal. Spent our return trip making multiple bathroom stops. Food was overcooked and cold.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. The server that we had was outstanding and it was very clean as well as cozy inside.“

“Eat here about once a month when we come to visit our son in Newport News. Staff is great, food is better. Have probably eaten here close to 50 times and have never been disappointed.“

“Good food,Friendly staff,reasonable prices.“

“Harpoon Larry’s is a fun bar! Erin was our bartender and she is EXCELLENT!! She kept us supplied with oyster shots and beverages, spent a few minutes talking to us, all while managing the bar that day. The seafood is great, the atmosphere was friendly, and we had a great time!“

“Okay, starting at the top.The Thai chili calamari is AMAZING. I can't remember a time I had calamari that fresh. It was incredible.One dish is the seafood trifecta with seasonal veggies and mashed potatoes - delicious! The scallops were nice and fat, the lump crab was fresh and complemented perfectly, and the shrimp was large and juicy. The three were sitting in a bowl of butter with some seasonings....so good.The other dish is Cajun blackened halibut with asparagus and Mexicali Street corn. The fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The asparagus was fresh and the street corn was tasty...but even better mixed with the mashed potatoes lol.We ordered a bottled of the Joshua Cellars Cabernet which complemented perfectly.We happened to come after work and were not dressed for outdoor dining, but that is no fault of the restaurant - they had some heaters, just be mindful before you go.Lastly, our waitress was Felicia and she was wonderful! She was on it, friendly, attentive, but not overbearing. She had a busy section and that girl did not skip a bit.We cannot wait to come back!“

“The food was incredible. I opted for the 'catch of the day', in this case consisting of Mahi-Mahi. The filet was very well made, flakey in the right way.My only gripe with the restaurant would be that it's small. VERY small. And it stays busy. If you're not good with tight quarters, I would steer clear. Restrooms are tiny. Going to the restroom from your table is a game of dodge-the-patrons. We didn't even go during a peak meal hour and the place was busting at the seams. However, this is a sure sign of the popularity and the quality of service and food one will receive when arriving here.Wheelchair accessibility: I wouldn't bring a wheelchair into this place whatsoever. There's barely any room for the chairs they already have, let alone one you have to bring yourself. And since this place is VERY popular with current and retired servicemen and women, it's heartbreaking that our disabled military retirees won't be able to experience this homely restaurant.“

“Awesome Seafood Spot! Love it!“

“I love their crab/shrimp boils & their Cajun wings are so good. I did pickup & the service was fast & friendly. It was a nice crowd inside bc it was the weekend. I just wouldn't recommend getting an Arnold Palmer, the lemonade taste like the one from the soda machines.“

“Surf Rider recommended to us by a friend. We were so pleased. The Seafood so fresh and amazing. We had oysters and tuna bites for an appetizer and brought home flounder plate. Huge piece of flounder cooked perfectly. Our server, Brandi, took great care of us. She was so busy and yet so attentive to us. Can't wait to go back. Also beautiful view!“

“Best and freshest sushi in the Hampton Roads peninsula/Yorktown/Newport News area/Gloucester area!! Recently moved up to the area and in search for my go-to sushi restaurant. Kero is the place!! Exceptional service and amazing sushi rolls. My favs are Dancing Tuna Roll, Twin Tower Roll, and X-Mas Roll. If you are looking for a delicious sushi restaurant with a robust menu, Kero Sushi & Japanese Restaurant is the place!! Highly recommended!!“

“First time visiting and I must say the food was amazing. And the portions are enough to feed a very large family. We got the med. and large and could only eat the med. between the two of us with some left over. We will definitely be back.“

“We have been going there for our work lunch since they have opened and we have never had a bad experience or meal. The staff and owner are always super friendly and nice. The store is always clean and organized. I would high recommend this hidden gem.“

“Good food! friendly staff“

“I ordered the famous chiles rellenos ($12.99) to go for dinner which consisted of 2 poblano peppers stuffed with cheese and rice and beans on the side. They were delicious. Plus, I was given chips and homeade salsa with my to go order which I did not expect. I loved the garlicky salsa and the chips were very fresh. This is the best Mexican food I've had in Newport News, VA.Vegetarian options: Various vegetarian lunch menu dishes and dinner menu items. I'm not a vegetarian, but the first time I eat anywhere I prefer vegetarian options. I feel if you can't do veggies right, there might be problems. Chichuahua's food is VERY good. I look forward to going back.“

After surfing for a while, “Tiger Thai Cuisine” was attracted by my eyes, but only brief reviews and photos show in restaurant’s facebook. All in all, Tiger Thai Cuisine is all the answers I am looking for…so let’s chill out here with me.“

“Stopped here after church and it was busy but we got seated right away. Food was good and atmosphere was nice. It seems a little pricey at first but then you get a generous portion of food. We had the fish and chips, brunch Benedict, rodeo burger and BLT. All great dishes but my favorite was the onion rings!“

“This is a quaint little deli in Yorktown. I was in the area for business. I saw it while I was in the area. Decided to stop in for a bite.The hotdog was pretty good. It was prepared once ordered. I like basic toppings, mustard, onions & relish. I couldn't finish it because it was a nice size. LolThe lady behind the counter was very nice also.They have pretty good menu choices.“

“Food was fresh and delicious!“

“Looks like an old dive bar, but don't let that fool you, bc the food and service are awesome. Fried fish sandwich was huge. Light, crispy breading on that and the huge shrimp in the shrimp Po boy. Crab soup was very good, but leans a bit heavy on the old bay. Overall, pleasant lunch and our server was very nice and attentive.“

“We went to Poquoson Diner yesterday which was an especially busy day. Been there for breakfast many times but they had three large parties and yet the servers were just delightful. not once in the midst of the crowded restaurant was any of them complaining, always had smiles on their faces, and genuinely served everyone with a true sense of southern hospitality. I love this place and can't believe I lived so close to it for over 20 years before trying it! Great staff and great food!!“

“Food was delicious!! Barbecue was so good! Ribs were smoky, brisket tender, pulled pork tangy. It all went together perfectly. The staff and owner Mark are so friendly. Love the atmosphere!“

“The Chicken and Dumplings were delicious . Was disappointed that there were pieces of bone in it.“

“There’s so many things I like about this food truck. For starters everything tasted fresh and was absolutely delicious. Meals also came out in the same amount of time you’d wait at a restaurant, which was great! Owner and cashier were polite so you can’t ask for much more. Don’t worry about the price, it’s worth every penny.“

“My food was delicious and plentiful. The only issue is as most reviews suggest the lady at the counter is definitely sassy or indeed rude. Interpretation depends on you. I thought she was sassy. She's there by herself taking orders and cooking. Be prepared to wait and BRING CASH!“

“Really good food. The shrimp is lightly battered and tasty, cooked when ordered. Fries, hush puppies all very good. The Mac and cheese was surprisingly good. Poboy shrimp sandwich was very good and on a quality roll. The homemade cakes by Dana were excellent.“

“love this place, great staff, manager always has great attitude. They have a loyal customer 4 times a week.“
