Great little lunch counter. Prices are good, food is fresh and comes out fast. It's self serve, but don't let that deter you. I tried a few things, the Crab cakes, broiled crab, bacon and chicken gumbo, and the crab and lobster cake sandwich. For the sandwich be sure to order whatever fixings you want with it, they're al a carte. The gumbo was delicious and a touch spicy. The fries or collards were the best sides I tried. If I had an improvement, the hushpuppies are a little dense and could use a little lighter batter. Don't miss out! read more

Came here for soft shell crabs and it was great! During the cold season, their oysters are awesome. What else is good? Live crayfish is in season! read more

Received two expensive bad/empty steamed crabs and ---- after the lady called someone, was told I couldn't switch the expensive bad/empty crabs out Will never return............ read more

I came here for lunch with co-workers and this place is actually busy. It's a fish market with an attached restaurant. The restaurant side is spacious and the fish market offers a variety of fresh seafood and select frozen meats. I ordered the fried Cajun catfish with collard greens and Mac and cheese. It was a little pricey $19. But you did receive 2 big pieces of fish and small servings of the sides. The Mac and cheese was lacking flavor and so did the greens. It took a lot of salt and pepper. Not a fan other sides at all. But, the fish was perfectly seasoned. read more

Came to grab a crab cake dinner and whiting dinner for my uncle and mom. they love seafood. it was so fresh inside and service was amazing.

I normally grab and go from the seafood market here. This particular day I set out to sit in and eat, all I wanted was a crabcake sandwich. Walked in and realize that AYCE blue crabs was happening. I quickly pivoted and intended to do the all you can eat crabs. Then I pivoted back. We had gone here after a long morning of golf, and I wanted to make my way home at some point. So we ended up ordering 2 platters. Hubs had catfish, with Mac & collards, and I crabcake, fried shrimp, baked beans and fries. All platters come with hush puppies. My total for 2 platters was $45. Food came out and it was fresh, nothing overly saturated in oil. The catfish and the shrimp was the best. The crabcake was just ok. I'm not use to fried crabcakes, and it was also backfin instead of jumbo lump. We ate and afterwards I made my way over to the seafood market where they were having a sale on crab meat. Buy 2 get one free, so of course I had to oblige. The service was ok, you order at the counter, then have a seat and the food is brought out to you. The ambiance was very hustle and bustle, old school seafood restaurant decor, nothing fancy. We ate and rolled out shortly after the AYCE customers started rolling in. I will say the size of the crabs for AYCE were big, and it was priced at $29 per person. read more

I ordered a three-way fried seafood dinner containing 3scallops 3shrimp fried and 3oysters with 2 sides and hush puppies. The price was $21. It was a bit high but oysters and scallops were the drawl. To my horror when I opened it what was inside? the oysters, two of them were as small as my pinky finger, shriveled up, mostly a breaded lump of not acceptable. The third oyster was a little bit larger than the other two small ones. These all were extra small oysters. I don't even know why somebody would even cook oysters of this size or put them on a menu in their restaurant. I'm glad I opened up the clam shell to see what the food was like before I left. I respectfully requested to have my money returned. That was no problem the girl who waited on me, gladly and very nicely did the job. But I must say that the other woman that was behind the counter just kept ignoring me. I had to 3x for someone to help me as she ignored me and didn't call anybody in the back to help. She was too busy moaning and groaning while she was waiting with the other people to take their order. at some point move. While she's sitting there doing nothing and waiting for people to decide what they want, you could have gone into the back and said, "can someone help this lady she's not happy with her order." It was only about four steps for her to do that. I just was not happy with her, the way she just sat there and kept brushing me off when I asked her, "how can I get this fixed?" She did nothing I was the one that had to call to the people that were way in the back in the seafood market. I wanted some oysters I went to the grocery store and bought a half pint of oysters 9 in the container for $8.99 and I fried up my own and they were big oysters and I will not go back to this establishment. read more

"Old town favorite" if you grew up in Hampton you know about this place aka Phillips for the not so young!

The customer service is great. However I bought 1/2 bushel of crabs and got them to steam them and upon opening a lot of them they were no good in the inside , some you can tell were dead. I hope I just got a bad batch and no one else has to experience this . read more

The seafood selection was great, but I wouldn't recommend letting them cook it for you... We purchased a few pounds of shrimp and were offered the option to have them steamed on the spot. We thought, "Why not?" but that turned out to be a huge mistake. The shrimp were extremely overcooked, dry, shriveled, and rubbery to the point where the shells practically fell off on their own. There was no flavor left whatsoever and the texture was so tough that not even a generous amount of sauce could save them. Very disappointed. read more

Great fried Catfish. Crunchy fries.Not a long wait for eat- in service after you place an order. Not the quietest place but who cares if you are enjoying your meal? read more

The initial girl helping at the register was friendly and helpful...that about the only thing I can say positive about our experience. First the credit card reader froze so then they offered a discount for cash. I paid $73.26 for a kids clam strip, adult clam strip meal, fried shrimp meal, and a pick 3 and I chose a crab cake, broiled shrimp and broiled flounder. My 8-year old was so excited to try clams for the first time so when he instantly spit them out and said they were gross I thought it was just him not liking them. Then I tried them and couldn't even chew them! I know clams can be tough, but this surpassed tough...they were absolutely disgusting!! My sons were awful, then my mother's full meal was rubber bands too! She complained to the younger girl at the counter and asked for popcorn shrimp as a replacement because the clams were so terrible. My broiled fish was bland and over cooked, the crab cake was okay but my first bite had a big piece of shell in it, and the broiled shrimp was decent. My dad's fried shrimp was okay, not overly seasoned and the French fries were good. Mac n cheese was over cooked and mushy. Collared greens were very tart and salty. We ended up throwing the majority of our food in the garbage. But the WORST part of the visit was when we spoke the the manager-an old white woman with a bright pink hairnet- she basically told us that the clams can be tough if they were frozen then asked the cooks if the clams were frozen and they said they were "fresh". Then she said oh well to us. She never offered to make it right, never even apologized for the poor dining experience, didn't offer a refund, and was borderline rude, she acted like it was our fault our food was disgusting!! I love supporting local, but I will never go back here! And on top of it all, we went to the restaurant because our intention was to buy seafood for Christmas. Thank heavens we didn't just order the food and waste hundreds of dollars!! read more

Great fresh seafood with reasonable prices. Been going there my whole life! They really need more space. When it get crowded it's a challenge to maneuver around read more

Went here for dinner on Dec. 18th. Worst food ever!! We basically spent $70+ on our dinners only to throw the bulk of our food in the trash. The only thing decent were the popcorn shrimp and fries. When I spoke to manager, she basically could have cared less that we were VERY disappointed. The only one who acted appropriately was the young girl working the counter who was was very apologetic and told us to speak to manager. I have worked in the food service industry and the fact that the manager acted the way she did and never even asked what she could do to make it right is NOT how you treat customers. Will never go back or recommend this place to anyone. Terrible experience ! read more

This looks like one of those hole in a wall locations that has amazingly good food. There's a casual sit down restaurant where you order then grab a number and they bring the food to you or a to go option. It's also connected to a small fish market that sells everything live or fresh to bring it home and cook it yourself. There's lots of options to choose from. They also offer dessert. I got the lump crab and I was highly satisfied. read more

Fresh seafood and crabs. Steamed crabs always good. Did not like the fried crab cake but the broiled is good. Didn't like the deviled crab. Love the crabmeat specials. Do recommend this place. My favorite. read more

Graham and Rollins is always my go-to stop for fresh seafood. Mostly caught local seafood is fresh and sold at a reasonable price. You can get any and everything seafood. Things that are not caught fresh locally are shipped in fresh from other regions, and it too is fresh like it was caught nearby. When you come here, be aware the floor is a little slippery and wet, so wear a pair of shoes with good bottoms. Also, ask questions, and they will go out of their way to serve you and get what you want. Don't limit yourself by thinking they don't have something. You can buy the fish whole they will clean and filet it for you at no additional price. If you are really in the mood, step next door to their restaurant, make yourself comfortable, and have dinner - you can thank me later for that tip. The only thing about the restaurant is it could use a little attention. Very old and outdated. All seafood togo is packed in ice to keep it nice and cold until you reach your destination. Been coming here for years and will continue to do so. Happy Yelping. read more

I only gave this one star because the young lady that I spoke with when I called to inquire about why my Poboy was served in this manner was very nice, very understanding, and very professional. For the likes of me, I cannot understand why the manager or head cook would not address me directly versus speaking to me through, the young lady who answered the phone. Six shrimp, brown lettuce, and a dry "hoagie" bun does not make a Poboy. The presentation leaves much to be desired This was such a disappointment because two of my coworkers said this was the best little jewel for seafood. read more

Visited for the first time and will be back! Came for my grandmothers birthday and it was a unique family environment where you get your own drinks and condiments and pick where you want to sit. You are able to order your food at register and then they give you a number to place at your table and they bring your food to you. It was 3 of us and we ordered a fish sandwich which came with 2 big pieces of fish and then a platter of 3 and shared for about $45 with an additional side and drink added on. I ordered crab legs on the other side for us after picking 2 frozen bags from freezer. They steamed them and brought them to table as well and paid about $50 for them. Highly suggest asking for very light seasoning to avoid being too salty or having them place on side. There was a server same who took our order at register bring food and boxes and asked if we needed anything. Another possible manager not sure just came by to visit table and it was very sweet! If you want some good seafood stop by! read more

Graham & Rollins - Maybe just ask for seasoning on side :) - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Perfect place to get local and fresh seafood in the Hampton Roads area. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection!

Had a cousin visiting from out of town that love loves blue crabs which I don't so I looked on line and found good reviews about this place. As I got closer I was getting mad because I had been there before when it was Hampton seafood but I was pleasantly surprised. Prices were good and customer service was fast and friendly. My cousin got a boatload of crabs and had them streamed she's been eating them for 2 hours and I had a couple too. I liked the spicy seasonings and we got a few bags of just crablegs. I got a nice bag of fresh shrimp to fry and do a garlic scampi. I also got a lot of pretty whitnies fish for sandwiches and coleslaw. They also had Louisiana tarter sauce which is hard to find. Very pleased with my seafood and it was worth the trip read more

I'm from MD, so you know my standards are high. This place hits every single time. I've had the steamed blue crabs several times, fresh blues, shrimp, soft shells, jumbo lump crab meat and sea bass. I would suggest that you check your soft shells to ensure they are still breathing before purchasing. read more

I have been eating here since I was a child. Seriously, I can remember when Big Lamont was the waiter (in the 90s) and when Ms. Pearlie made the food. My parents can remember when this establishment was owned by Mr. John Mallory Phillips. Yes, this place is very nostalgic and is a gem within the Hampton community. They're famous for their crab cakes. Little known fact, but Hampton was once called Crabtown because it was the crab capital of the world! Today, Hamptonians still love this tasty crustacean and the history it brings to this coastal area. Back to the crab cakes - they're to die for! I mean, please don't die, but they're really, really good. The food here is always delicious and although the restaurant always reeks of fish and seafood, don't be discouraged (they have the fresh seafood on one side and the restaurant on the other), the food is BANGING! I was here to grab lunch for my parents over the weekend and the service was fast and the food was great. Anytime my sister, who's been living in Georgia for 20 plus years comes home, she has to get a crab cake from this establishment! Thanks for always being an amazing staple G&R. read more

Graham & Rollins - Tasty, tasty, traditional crabcake. - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Where is the MINUS button? We got a dozen steamed Large Male crabs on a special - they were the price of the medium. That should've been my red flag! Oh and to eat them in the restaurant you have to pay an extra $10.00!! GTHOH The crabs were HORRIBLE! Without the seasoning they had no taste. Crabs without seasoning have a sweet taste! These had NO TASTE! The young lady working the cash register was a delight! The manager didn't even offer an apology much less an offer to substitute something else. She could care less! Nasty crabs and nasty customer service! DON'T DO IT!! read more

Freshest seafood in town. Anything you want they have and always enough staff to handle the crowd

The fry on the soft shell crabs was very good. The main parts of the meal were very good but the sides were subpar. The Mac and cheese had an odd texture. It was like the noodles were too mushy. The hush puppies tasted a bit old and were dry. If I go back I think I would just get a sandwhich instead of the meal with the sides. My husband got the onion rings and enjoyed those. read more

I just left Graham & Rollins , I ordered Special #5 Which was Toasted pita bread with broiled Cod, with mixed greens, feta cheese, a lot of red onions,,,tomatoes, ....

I then ordered something else flounder dinner, I asked if I could recieve $5.00 dollars towards this , I was told no,, I become so confused ,,, where is First Class Service ?? This place is really getting on my list of not spending my money , there. read more

Had lunch. Had the combo platter with flounder and crab cake with slaw and mac and cheese for sides. The flounder was fried with skin on. It also had a lot of bones which made it hard to eat. The crab cake was large but seemed to have a lot of filler. I mean I was tasting bread over the crab taste. While the cake seemed salty, it lacked any other seasoning. The hush puppies were good. Also tried the deviled crab. It was way over seasoned with their seafood seasoning. Others with me had the crab cake sandwich with fries and onion rings. Over all a very disappointing meal. Total was about $60. Not really worth it and I am not saying don't go but.... read more

This unassuming Hampton spot, I learned is the Best of the best for fresh and prepared seafood in Hampton Roads. When I arrived at lunch the parking lot was crowded in what seemed to be a dirty hole in the wall shop of some sort. When I went inside I learned that the building is both seafood market and restaurant. As I stood in the longish line contemplating what seafood I would like to try. I saw platter after platter of crabs and other delicacies being delivered to the socioeconomically diverse patrons. Everyone seemed to have a favorite Rollins dish that they always come back to enjoy and The restaurant was more than happy to oblige. I Peres my fried variety platter and the seafood look and smelled great! Each piece was Lightly battered and seasoned just right. I learned I was not a fan of their side dishes but the seafood was the star. Treat yourself to this local classic. read more

Finally decided to give this place a try after hearing about it from coworkers. I love seafood and love finding it at a good price. I came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and didn't really know what to expect. It is a fish market so even the restaurant has the fishy smell to it but it isn't too bad. There is a good amount of seating so I opted to eat there. I was initially just going to get a soft shelled crab sandwich but decided to go with one of the combos for the better deal. I got the crabcake and fried flounder combo with greens and mac and cheese. The girl working there was super sweet and came to ask me what sides I wanted since they forgot to ask at the counter. She brought me my food and made sure I was all set. The crab cake was delicious! It was very flavorful and was worth the trip. The flounder was just okay to me and I needed tartar sauce to eat it. I don't eat a lot of fried fish but when I do I like the batter to be seasoned a bit. The greens also lacked seasoning but I added hot sauce to them and they were fine. The mac and cheese redeemed the sides because it was really good and cheesy. The combo with a drink was about $17 which isn't bad for fresh seafood. I could see myself coming back to check out the fresh market and get some stuff to cook at home. read more
