I got two dozen of the best Virginia crabs that you ever could have. They were fresh out of the water. They were so lively that they actually jumped.

Spent just shy of $400 on 2 people in their "speak easy"…read more They add an 18% gratuity, on every check; and won't serve you until they make this clear. That alone: is a turnoff to me. I tip above 20% 95% of the time. The food was average at best. Temperature was off on both entries. Taste was nothing special. We only had 2 mixed drinks, and 2 glasses of wine. The 1st dirty martini was made with vermouth after I specifically said no vermouth. I was billed for both. Neither martini was topped off. Both were 1-1.5 inches from the top. Wine was fine. The service was ok. Not great. The table settings are bland, and could be found in a Dennys restaurant. After a below average dining experience; I was a bit surprised with a $375 bill. Suppose I should have paid more attention to the prices for side dishes and deserts. Adding insult to injury: I somehow left my Amex behind at the table. First time in my life. Then the fun began. My wife and I called the restaurant and had to leave messages 5 times between us, to confirm they had the card and to arrange a pickup. Not one call back: in 5 calls!!! Finally ordered a new card. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away from these lazy people.

I do the fried ones "sometimes" too, but 95% of the time for me, it's the steamed ones. They are super delish in that dipping sauce. I do "not" like their chicken wings.

The one exception was Michelle. She was GREAT -- truly great! We actually wished we had her every time. She was attentive, friendly, and the only server we've had who consistently removed dirty plates without us having to ask. I highly recommend asking for her! Otherwise, we regularly end up sitting with appetizer plates, dinner plates, and other dishes stacked on the table throughout the meal. It's gotten to the point where we joke about it among ourselves because it happens so consistently. For the price of dining here, the service should include something as basic as clearing finished plates. I've honestly never experienced another restaurant where this was such a consistent issue. We enjoy coming here and will likely continue because we live nearby, but please, please train the serving staff to clear dirty dishes throughout the meal. It would make such a difference in the overall dining experience.

Dear Skrimp Shack, I…read moreneed you to open a location in Colorado Springs. I stopped in for lunch almost completely on a whim, and somehow I have fallen in love with a shrimp and crab po' boy. I ordered the shrimp grilled instead of fried, and when my food arrived I actually laughed at how much seafood was piled onto the sandwich. Big, beautifully grilled shrimp and generous amounts of real crab meat--not a little sprinkle of crab hiding somewhere under the lettuce. So much shrimp and crab fell out when I picked it up that I basically had a second meal sitting in the basket, and the sandwich was STILL loaded. And it was delicious. The shrimp had a great char, the crab was tender and plentiful, the bread was toasted, and everything tasted fresh. Nothing needed to be buried under sauce to make it good. Then there were the hushpuppies. Apparently I have been living an incomplete life. They were perfectly crisp and crunchy on the outside and warm, soft, slightly doughy and sweet on the inside. I had to stop and contemplate why these aren't a standard side everywhere. And because I clearly hadn't been spoiled enough already, I got the strawberry shortcake for dessert. What really makes this place work, though, is that none of it feels like it's trying too hard. It's casual, clean, comfortable and completely unassuming. There's no pressure, no fuss and no inflated price tag pretending good seafood needs to be a special-occasion experience. I had a huge shrimp and crab po' boy, hushpuppies, a drink AND strawberry shortcake for $23.05 before tax and tip. That feels almost unreasonable in 2026. Skrimp Shack, I came to Virginia for work. I did not expect to develop feelings for a seafood restaurant. But here we are. Please come to Colorado Springs. I've been hurt before. I've ordered things called "crab" only to receive three lonely shreds of meat and a whole lot of crab-flavored optimism. I've learned not to get my hopes up. Then you came along, piled actual crab and grilled shrimp onto a sandwich until seafood literally fell out when I picked it up, and showed me I could love again. I don't want to do long distance. Come to Colorado. Sincerely, A newly devoted customer who now has standards

It has been nearly three weeks; I can stop thinking about No Frill Bar and Grill…read more I'm a military spouse, so I know my time in Hampton Roads is coming to an end soon. I visited a Hampton Roads Restaurant group on FB and asked if someone was visiting from out of town: What is your go-to place to take them? Out of 90+ comments, No Frill Bar and Grill was mentioned the most - six times! So when I finally had a day off and some other business to tend to in Norfolk, it was the perfect excuse to finally try them. No Frill Bar and Grill has been open for nearly 30 years by Jerry Meltsner. Jerry's nephew Jon Kliner helps co-own and manage operations. It originally opened on Tidewater Drive, but the space didn't allow for much growth - 10 years later, he moved to a location off Colley Avenue and Spotswood Avenue. Growth continued, moving from counter service to table service. The second location, at 1620 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach, opened in 2005. The restaurant's longevity stems from quality, consistency, price, service, and staff who genuinely care about the business and serving the community. I asked the server for her opinion on two options - Salmon, Shrimp and grits won. The dish was incredible: lightly blackened salmon, for once blackened food that doesn't just taste like salt. I don't dine with the swine, so I asked for no andouille sausage. The sautéed shrimp, caramelized onions, tomatoes, and spinach simmered in Norfolk Canyon ale sauce over cheesy grits and Boursin lavash cracker. The cheesy grits were smooth, and the Boursin lavash cracker was a nice touch. The Boursin added extra creaminess to the meal. The cracker wasn't really a cracker - more like little toasted bread. After this first meal, I know two things for sure: 1. I definitely understand why it is such a local favorite, and 2. I will be back.
