Looking for seafood restaurant in Norfolk/Hampton area...you have to come here. 4.5 rating does not do this food justice. For a really fast restaurant with amazing quality we give it an EASY 5.0!!!! Will be back. Ordered the ahi tuna as an appetizer. Fried oysters were perfect. The largest and best fried flounder, we've had in forever. Even ordered another Ahi tuna after our meal. Drinks were superb! Delish!! Lisa was THE BEST!!!! read more

The food was delicious! Tried all four VA oysters! Fresh! Also tried the fried oysters, soft shell crab sandwich, 1 lb. Of peel and eat shrimp seasoned just right! Service was great and ambiance is rustic! read more

Nice seafood & raw bar spot with a good beer selection! "The Pearl of downtown Phoebus"! Love the industrial vibe! Good music playing in the background of this casual eatery! Our server was prompt and pleasant and she looked like Jesse from Toy Story. Now for the food, we ordered the smashburger with an xtra patty and bacon crumbles. It was juicy and delicious! The shoestring fries were great! My bro ordered the fish sandwich! It was huge! I typically don't like seafood, but he encouraged me to try it and it was surprisingly tasty! Didn't taste fishy, but was flaky and tender! Food check!! Yummy! I like the paper towels on the table, good call! We thoroughly enjoyed stopping here for a meal and we left "full" at Fullers!! We definitely want to come back! read more

My daughter picked this location when we were on a road trip for the day. She had a taste for oysters and we were looking for some local seafood by the water. While this restaurant isn't on the water, it's definitely close (2 miles) to a beautiful beach. The ambiance of this place has a great vibe. The interior decor has a great bar setting where you can sit up and watch TV and order some ice cold oysters. Or you could grab a table inside or outside and visit with family. We opted for the outdoors as we had a quick glimpse of sun on this rare April day, and got to sit under the umbrella patio. Our waitress was super accommodating and brought us our four oysters and tuna salad with shoestring french fries very quickly. My daughter ordered the fried fish sandwich that had melty cheese and some tartar sauce on it. It was a solid sandwich, nothing to write home about, but definitely gave us a beach ocean feel vibe. Four oyster sampler went from sweet to salty and didn't disappoint! They were fresh. They were cold and they had a great minionette and spicy horseradish to accompany. read more

Decided to have some lunch during the Phabulous Phoebus Festival and settled on the fish and chips here. Everything came out hot and tasty! My fish portion, as well as my shoe string fries, were huge portions! I really enjoyed their tartar sauce and their ranch dressing, as well. The hostess and my waitress were both friendly and attentive. It's a nice big place with plenty of seating, but it was pretty hot in there. Hopefully, they will fix that, not just for costumers, but for their hard-working staff, as well. In the area? Check Them Out! read more

I will Gate Keep No More!!! Fullers has been a Located in Historical part of Hampton is not only a local fave but one of my faves too. If you love Oysters on a half shell served Raw or steamed, hit up Fillers on Tuesdays for their Buck A Shuck. Oysters are only $1 a piece and boy do I get my fill of oysters. I love their Fried Flounder sandwich served with amazing shoestring fries.. The smash Burger never disappoints. I highly reccomend if you are looking for a quick bite read more

Stopped in after arriving from the airport on our way to Williamsburg. We sat at the bar because that's our MO. Started with a watermelon margarita and a beer. Ordered the kettle chips with blue cheese and they were covered in blue cheese. For dinner I had the fried shrimp and she had a salad with blacken shrimp. They offer, at the time we were there, four different East Coast oysters. We ordered two of each so that we could sample them. Only problem, they were never delivered. We had our bartender remove them from the bill. Settled up and took off to our hotel. read more

Went to visit our daughter in Hampton and we asked her what she wanted for a mid afternoon lunch and she said Crab Legs! We did some quick research on Yelp and found this great spot! It is in such a cool little area with cute restaurants and shops. We were there close to St Patrick's Day so there were a lot of people out and about in green! The place was busy but we got right in with 3. We had crab legs, oysters, tuna sandwich and fish & chips - all were absolutely delicious!! Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Bathrooms clean. Dining options inside and outside. We will definitely go back!! read more

Visiting from Arizona and loved the fresh oysters. Paid full price one night and realized that on Tuesdays oysters are $1.00 each. Went back on several Tuesdays after! Good cocktails and fresh seafood. Ambiance is pleasant and service is good. Highly recommended. read more

I can definitely see why this place has the hype it does. At first we came in and it seemed kind of eh and there was no one in the restaurant but then our server came over and blew us away. Her name was Jen and she was amazing!!! I would totally go back to be served by her. The food was amazing I got 6 "laughing king" oysters and oyster chowder. My husband got the oyster po boy which he would rate an 8/10 (there was a lot of bread but still great) but the shoe string fries were easily a 10/10. I will definitely be back for this downtown corner cute wharf-like vibe! read more

Very solid experience here. We were looking for a casual, sit down restaurant with good seafood, and it did not disappoint. It is on a very quaint lovely street with other restaurants, so it was perfect for a dinner-dessert night! We ordered the oysters which were fresh and delicious, and the waiter was so kind and gave us a full rundown of the different flavor profiles. He even ate an oyster (from the kitchen of course) with us to show us the proper oyster etiquette! Top notch service. We also had the blackened fish tacos and the shrimp dinner, which were perfectly cooked. The fries were so thin and crispy, I absolutely loved them. The only lackluster part was my jambalaya, which was full of juicy meats and veggies, but was not flavorful at all, so I would probably order something else next time. But overall a very solid experience! read more

Amazing seafood. Everything is very fresh. The restaurant is adorable and my server was quick and polite.

I did in fact, go here twice in one week. I got the mussels and jambalaya the first time around. Second time around I got the oysters and clam chowder for the dollar oyster Tuesday. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes good seafood. read more

All-around a great restaurant in the Phoebus area of Hampton! Stopped in late afternoon on a Saturday before the dinner rush, but it's not an overly large restaurant and because the food is so good I can see it getting crowded! Very nice server who made sure we were taken care of. Food: I split the shrimp and mussels boil and it was delicious! So good and plenty of food for two! We even took some home. Can't wait to go back and try it more of their menu! read more

Food was great. We came for the $1 oysters and they were delicious. The ambiance was great at the time we came: Tuesday @ 5pm. The service was less than, however. Our server, who another called Amber, refilled the wrong drink into one of our cups and a wrong dish was brought out. When the wrong dish was mentioned, she offered no apology and kept asking if we were going to keep it while stating it was only a few dollars more. My friend was hesitant to say yes and even more so when Amber told us the prices on the menu were wrong. Furthermore, she was impossible to find and didn't come check on us for nearly 6 minutes to which she took another 3 getting the checks. read more

Found this place by accident went to go visit mango mango and they were closed so we went across the street and I am so glad that we did. Have friends from out of town and this was my new favorite spot. The service was outstanding nice friendly people. The ambiance was great. The bathrooms were clean. But the food let me tell you was everything both the sriracha salmon bites and the catfish and grits for me where a 10 out of 10 and I am not even a catfish lover. I have to visit this place at least once a month and whenever I go to the VA I definitely have to come over and get the sriracha salmon bites and a salad. This is a must try. I heard they have a new chef and they're going to be adding a few new things to their menu but from the things that I have tried there I haven't been disappointed with anything my mother she loves shrimps and the shrimps were really big and cooked perfectly. The crowd is very mixed this is located in the heart of Phoebus next to ice cream shop and across the street is a bakery it's some book stores and it's a lovely little area very safe.

I was excited to try this place after seeing videos and reviews from it. It's a casual fresh fish joint and I love it. They oysters were amazing and the fried flounder was superb. I will be back. read more

I had high hopes after reading reviews, but was left with mediocre food that seemed a bit high priced for what you received. Our table had a range of mussels, soft shell crab sandwiches, salads, and fried shrimp dinners. While it is technically a bar, I was also disappointed to learn that they don't have any high chairs or changing tables in the restrooms. read more

Definitely hit/miss... The New Orleans classics deserve a better approach. The BBQ shrimp was awful, floating in nothing but W-sauce. The shrimp were over cooked and rubbery and were all different sizes, which before..they were the same size. I hate when the price point remains the same, but the meal is downgraded. My meal was exchanged for just 'ok' fried fish/chips. I do hope this place improves and gets back to what I knew before read more

I visited on a Sunday afternoon. I was initially worried it would be packed but thankfully they had seating available. The environment is causal but would also be a cute date night spot if you were feeling like dressing up. Rebecca F was super attentive & friendly. For drinks: I was debating on ordering the Lavender 75 or the Sal De Gusano. I went with the bartender's recommendation & ordered the Lavender 75. So grateful I did! It was tasty, the lavender flavor tasted natural & was not over powering. It was beautifully garnished with a lemon peel. For starters: I ordered a side Caesar salad. The salad was fresh & overall good but a little over-dressed, in my opinion. For meal: I ordered the Fish & Chips! They were buttery, flaky, & moist. Highly recommend the Lavender 75. I'll be back again for the drink & to try more of the menu! read more

This is my go to spot in Hampton for some good seafood. Come on Tues and enjoy their 'shuck a buck' $1 oysters. We ordered 10 raw and 10 steamed. Service was good. It's always busy after work hours. We also split a chicken sandwich... OMG, it was straight up bomb! Will definitely be ordering that again. All in all, I always enjoy myself coming here and highly recommend. read more

Fuller's Raw Bar - Laughing oysters and a pound of steamed shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Fuller's Raw Bar is the perfect hidden gem in Hampton to visit to if you're craving seafood. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're at a beachside restaurant because of the eclectic array of nautical decor. The staff was extremely friendly and our server offered us some great suggestions on what to order since this was our first time visiting. If you were to only order one thing off the menu, I would highly suggest getting the Caesar Salad topped off with fried oysters! While the platters are what probably attracts most people to Fuller's, the salad topped with fried oyster is unlike anything you've ever tried and more than justifies the cost ($10 salad + $10 for oysters). The Steamed Sampler Platter was our main course and was enough food for two of us to feel satisfied. The Steamed Sampler Platter came with 6 Oysters, 6 Clams, 1 Snow Crab Cluster, Half Pound of Mussels, Half Pound of Peel n Eat Shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage! read more

Although they look nice in the photo I included, I would not recommend the snow crab, nor as an east coast restaurant, would I have it on my menu. I like them when they're good, but these were not the best. The shrimp were good and deveined. I thought the mussels and clams were also very good. The more brackish water raw oysters were my favorite (I preferred them over the oysters included in the steamed platter), and while nothing was egregiously wrong, we spent a lot of moolah (100), and still left hungry. I understand seafood's expensive, but maybe their price point was off, because we were two of four total patrons in the restaurant at 5pm on the Thursday. The couple next to us ordered chicken sandwiches with fries, which they enjoyed but was not even seafood. read more

I typed "oysters" into my search, and Fuller's came up. So, we made the drive out to Hampton from Norfolk :) FOOD: We ordered a half dozen of oysters - delicious! My husband ordered the oyster po'boy but didn't enjoy it much; it was just a personal preference. I ordered their paella and didn't enjoy it. Traditional paella usually isn't swimming in broth, and I had to slirp this with a spoon. But the seafood was delicious! The highlight of our experience was the Nightingale ice cream sandwich, which they don't even make in-house! lol LOCATION: Spacious, fun, and many TVs! SERVICE: Super friendly service! Our waitress was attentive and helpful. Would I come back? Yeah, I'd like to have more oysters. read more

Still love their clams and oysters but I got to tell you...the last time I went then my fish sandwich was a mess. It was crispy on the outside but inside the dough was a bit mushy. Really disappointing. For a good fish sandwich goto Deadrise on Ft Monroe and get your oysters and clams from fullers. read more

Very fast and friendly service on a Sunday afternoon. Food was good but I was especially impressed by how delicious the steamed shrimp were! Such a simple meal but tasted so amazing. My only recommendation is that they get new menus as they are starting to peel and fall apart. read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Our go to seafood restaurant in Hampton Roads. It's hands down the best.

The food was great! The tartar sauce was perfect and loved the texture of the fish. I also enjoyed the string fries. The service was fast and responsive. The restaurant had a cool atmosphere reminding me of a fishing hut. read more

Fuller's Raw Bar - Fish n Chips - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I really like this place. Apparently this is the sister restaurant to Deadrise down the street, which was our initial choice but they were closed for maintenance. Fuller's is packed with a lot of seafood dishes and specials. I went with the fish fillet sandwich which reminded me of McD's. It even had the cheese! The fish was fried crisp but still juicy on the inside. The fish wasn't seasoned though so I had to put hot sauce on it to make it better. Overall it still was a 4.5 out of 5. I took a bite of my sons shrimp po'boy and it was yummy too. The sauce on it brought it up a noche. They serve orange crush and they are not weak with the liquor. Haha! There's outdoor seatings with umbrellas and the indoor can hold a small party of like 8-10. The restaurants in the downtown Phoebus area are not that large. But I will definitely come back again! read more

Fresh seafood but sauces & service could be better. The seafood on our sandwiches tasted great. I would skip the tartar sauce due to the banana peppers. The shrimp po' boy also tasted great. Had I been paying attention I would have asked for the buffalo mayo on the side. I think it would have been better without it. Blue cheese kettle chips were a delight. They don't have a kids' menu. We ordered the big chili cheese dog, hold everything. Unfortunately there was no discount. Service could have been a bit better. It seemed like the server was in a bit of a rush. The plates were taken off the table without asking. Sometimes we weren't done with them yet. read more

Amazing atmosphere in a clean neighborhood. This is the type of place you visit when you think of a beach vacation. The staff is friendly and competent, making you feel like home.

Decent divey seafood joint. Food is well done but price to quality a bit off. Fun atmosphere. Service was a bit of a mess, forgotten order, wrong item, overcharged, etc. if you can tolerate bad service, may be worth checking out for decent seafood. read more

A group of us descended upon Fuller's (party of 12) without notice. But the nice hostess did not seem rattled by our appearance and was able to quickly seat us. It was happy hour so our party decided to partake of the specials, including the house speciality, the Fuller's Punch and the cheap shot and a draft beer. I think those who got the punch got the better end of the deal! Our party ordered a bit of everything. Everyone was very happy with their selections. I ordered the oyster po' boy. Usually with a po' boy, there is too much lettuce and you are lucky to get 5 oyster on your sandwich. Not with this one! It was chocker-block-ful of oysters, fried to perfection, dressed with a bit remoulade sauce and just enough lettuce to give it a bit of crunch. Very nice. I got a side of kettle chips to go with it. I forgot to ask if they were house made. They seemed to be. Also, we had the world's greatest server, Jen, who was not only friendly but absolutely kick-ass in keeping our orders straight, the happy hour drinks coming and remembering that I had a to-go order and placed it at the absolute correct time while I was having a great time with my dining companions. I will be more than happy to stop in at Fuller's the next time I am in Pheobus. Cool place with a nice vibe, great food and great service. read more

Just plates full of deliciousness! What I forgot to get pics of was our appetizer (shrimp cocktail) and my happy hour Fuller's Punch. Let me forewarn you, the cocktail sauce is AMAZING but packs a punch and will definitely clear your nostrils! We love for stuff to have a kick and the cocktail sauce definitely delivers. I ordered the catfish and grits and got 3 meals out of it. You can't tell from the pic but the portions are huge. Two big filets and a plate full of grits. I'm so glad we finally ventured in to Fullers! We will definitely be back! read more

The oyster flight and the fish and chips are always great, My favorite clam chowder, Hatteras style, has been a repeated disappointment my last two times, The use of a waxy potatoes vice a starchy one, too many of them cut into too large of pieces, and a minuscule amount of clams make for a no go for a third try. It's sad because the red oyster soup that was replaced by the chowder was unique and delicious. Aside from the clam chowder, Fullers is a great place across the board. read more
