While the wait staff was good, the owner and actual food were absolutely horrible! I ordered…read moresteamed oysters and first of all the owner himself refused to let the kitchen cut the oyster from the shell. This is the only restaurant who my whole long life does not cut the oyster from the shell and expects the customer to do it! They don't even give you a proper knife to cut the oysters off the shell. On top of that, I had been there before and the manager said to just ask for them to be cut next time. So, today, I asked. But literally, the manager said NO! Hahaha what?? But the BIGGER PROBLEM was that the oysters were under steamed and the absolute worst thing was that they smelled and tasted fishy! They were absolutely disgusting and I'm waiting to see if I get sick from them. I will never go there again. I mean, how hard is it for the kitchen staff to cut the oysters off the shells? Additionally, the fact that they were not good, safe oysters was unacceptable. I will never go back there. You shouldn't either. Even the steamed shrimp were undercooked. I mean, what is that place all about because they don't care about their customers. Ambiance was totally average. But I have never had oysters sooo bad. I've been eating them since childhood and never had someone not shuck them properly nor had them so nasty. Do not go there. The owner does not care about the customers and it is not a safe place to eat.

The waitress was nice but barely spoke English and couldn't understand when I asked about sesame seeds.

Why? Why? I gave them a generous 2 stars because people were nice, and shrimp and steak were cooked perfectly. But all else not good. To the restaurant please stop with the yum yum sauce in The fried rice!

What a find. While visiting my cousins waterfront property (I have woodland property in California…read morehe needs to visit) he recommended we eat here...Wow! We ordered a bakers dozen of crab, one of their sampler trays and a burger for my dad who is not adventurous - but he will eat tripe...Go figure. The crabs were admittedly from South Carolina but were yummy and meaty. The sampler tray was superb...It had fried frog legs, a nice portion of crawfish, Josh puppies and alligator which I have all had in New Orleans. It was fabulous to eat all that yummy food! Service was nice and I think they were shocked by my food order and quantity based on my party of four. Fairly quick and cooked to perfection. We ate outside... They could spruce up the dining area and front patio but that is what gives it that back country flair. It is near Fredericksburg and not to far off the highway. Still the way it is set up, I would not have it any other way. There were a fair amount of people and we chatted up people who had property near my cousin. It was a nice homey experience with yummy food. Worth going down to if you are near DC or Richmond.

It may not have been their official happy hour, but it was ours--and if you know us, you know we love happy hour. We had a fantastic time. The service could not have been more attentive. Every bite had just the right amount of flavor and spice, and the cocktails were absolutely spot on. We shared three appetizers and couldn't have been more pleased. The octopus was fantastic, the truffle fries are something I'll be craving for a long time, and the charcuterie board topped everything off perfectly. If you get the chance, make a reservation and go. We left grinning from ear to ear after a great meal, great drinks, and a great evening.

We were there for at least 15 minutes before a waiter appeared to take our order. But it went downhill from there. We were there for an hour and fifteen minutes before we received our lunches. The waiter did not alert us there was a problem, and when I complained, for the second time, about the delay, he said, "Well the food is a little slow coming out of the kitchen." That was after we had been there for over an hour, and, as I said, I complained for the second time. No matter how good the food is, and it is, it is totally unacceptable to have to wait an hour and a quarter for food. and the restaurant was not even crowded.

Yes, there are "trendy" restaurants downtown with a larger and rotating, seasonal, or farm-to-table menu. But Olde Towne Steak & Seafood is wonderful. The steak is always cooked to perfection, the shrimp in the Shrimp Cocktail are ENORMOUS, the stuffed mushrooms are (chef's kiss), their cocktails (especially dirty martinis) are wonderful, and their prime rib is as big as an infant's head. The interior could use a bit of an upgrade. I went there for my Senior prom in 1990 and although it is still cozy and inviting -especially fireside-the clean, classic decor could use a bit of a perking up. No minor issues like decor can obscure the wonderful service! A LOT of servers in this area consider waiting tables just a job to be done and gotten over with and customers a nuisance. Whether they truly feel it or not, the staff here present themselves as practicing their vocation. But none of this compares to the warmth and personal attention of Mrs. Hyon Harding, the owner. Mrs. Hyon always greets you like you are a welcome guest - not a dollar sign. She takes the time during each visit to personally visit each table to make sure everything is to your satisfaction and you are happy. And it is not just some token "drive by." You can tell she really does care and wants you to have a good experience. All of this beats truffle fries and Mac and cheese, rosemary mashed potatoes, and "locally foraged mushrooms" in my book and always will.

We have celebrated our anniversary here for several years, it has always been a favorite of my…read morewife. Went on a Sunday night and there maybe 5 other tables occupied, each had over 5 patrons and we had a table near the main fireplace. The atmosphere was as expected no change over the years. Room temperature was great, a bit cool for my wife but that is normal. Our sever (Callie was exceptional and very responsive to our requests) came to the table promptly and took our drink order. Water and tea, no alcohol. Delivered quickly. We also got bread, not warm and very unimpressive. Orders were placed we recovered our salads with dressing on them and I had requested it on the side, not a big issue butt the meal proceeds to go down hill rapidly from there. My salad tasted like it had been sitting out for a while (wet wilted and soggy) and the only flavor it had was the fresh cracked pepper. I honestly expected more from the salad then iceberg lettuce, 2cherry tomatoes and a couple of cucumber slices. Blue cheese dressing was only identifiable because it was what I requested. Prime rib was over cooked but the portion was as ordered. Bake potato was dry and very overdone, 3 servings of sour cream to make it editable. My wife's seafood was equally tasteless, the lobster was great but the scallops tasted funny". Had more bread during the meal cold and tasteless. The best part of the meal by far wast he dessert, chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries, plated beautifully. Overall a 2.0 for the meal quality was mediocre at best, desert and service would rate a 4.5 (Callie was a 5.0 as a server). And the owner manager did not come by our table but did visit all the other tables. On the way out she said how was your meal I said very underwhelming and she just glared at me. I didn't complain to keep our 36th wedding anniversary fun, but after getting in the car and driving off my wife stated that wasn't worth it we will find a new anniversary place. In my opinion we could have eaten at a big box steakhouse (T/R) 5 times and higher quality for the ($150) price.
