    Found a nice pearl in Madison. Everything tasted homemade and the service was friendly and fast.

    Came here with mom and sisters. We were seated right away on Saturday but we came around 5:15 pm…read more The place wasn't full yet. They don't take reservations. We ordered fried calamari. It came with a hot marinara sauce. It was delicious. My mother ordered broiled flounder with baked potatoes and salad. I ordered make my own 3 items which included fried Soft shell crab, fired scallops and crab cake with sides of baked potatoes and onion rings. All dishes came with hush puppies. My sister had fried oysters. They said the broiled flounder had no taste. I liked all my dishes though the crab cake was saltier for me than I normally like. They give you all sorts of sauce and special butter for the baked sweet potatoes. The waitress was really nice and came back and refilled my soda a lot. It's an old restaurant and the ambience is lots of people come here for seafood. Considering it's not close to any sea, it's pretty good. I forgot to take photos to share. When we left around 6:30 the parking lot was full and people were waiting for tables.

    While visiting VA we were told this restaurant had good seafood. The place itself is simple, casual…read moreand reminded me of those by the pier fresh catch type restaurant we used to visit during summer break in San Francisco and Seattle. The dishes prepared in a very simple natural way without excess seasoning or breading. Very tasty, fresh and reasonably priced. We had a party of 9 and ordered the steamed crab legs and mussels for sharing. Fried calamari which was lightly coated and super crispy-delicious. We had the fish tacos, lobster tails, the build your own 3 item meal ( crab legs, steamed shrimp and crab cake) this combo was amazing. The crab meat unlike any other I've had before. You get pretty much a crab cake made of only the meat, no fillers. Everyone enjoyed every bite and we will definitely come again on our next visit. Our server was very nice and helpful.

    I had an excellent, generous, gracious meal at the Bavarian Chef this afternoon for my birthday…read more I'm still groaning! The food was fabulous and we got the full complement of sides--whipped potatoes, green beans, creamed corn, spaetzle, carrots and apples, potato dumplings, zucchini, braised red cabbage, German potato salad, maybe more (my belly's so full, I'm not remembering well...)--rye rolls, red pepper soup with crab, trout with almonds (yum!). We had a very nice dry German Riesling and. German Pinot Noir. The five of us shared a piece of the amazing German chocolate cake. Our server, Nick, was very pleasant, efficient and professional--good at his job and possessing a beautiful, warm smile. I had an Asbach Sidecar that was very well made. I see a negative review from a couple of months ago (~February 2026-ish?) that sounds like it was written about another restaurant, not the delightful Bavarian Chef I know and love. The writer of that poor review seems to have been enjoying the sound of her own writing (which leans toward the overly dramatic and away from anything like an honest review) more than trying to express anything real about the Bavarian Chef. She seems to have an ax of some kind to grind, as she could find not one nice, decent thing to say. I disagree with her with every well-seasoned, perfectly cooked vegetable and flavorful rye roll digesting in my belly right now. The Bavarian Chef is a treat. You'd be a fool to miss it!

    it was a little busy at the lunch time of our visit. we ended up in the tiny tables in the bar…read morearea. quite cramped. it detracted slightly, but only slightly. the service was a touch slow, but very gracious, friendly, and helpful. a party of about a dozen were seated immediately after us, so that probably accounts for a lot of the delay. the food was quite exceptional. delicious!! snail appetizer was delightful. the breading seemed over the top, but it was very tasty. we had scheinhaxen & alpine schnitzel, the latter was a daily special. both were perfectly prepared, and we each took at least half of the portion home for later. the sides we selected were potato dumpling, spätzle, rotkohl, and glazed carrots. all were excellent - the rotkohl heavier on spice than we are used to. in all, we were very happy with the choice we made for lunch.

    I order #1s , 1/2 bushel $ 160.00 , 2weeks ago , worse crabs I have ever got , some of them 4 inch…read morepoint to point , most were watery and the meat was mushy , and do no how to read a tape measure, we thew them in the trash, last week my wife got a Qt of oyster , at $ 34.00 , SAME NOT GOOD, in the trash , I have been getting seafood from them for years , Under till now it was Good, NEVER AGAIN , THEW A $194.00 in the TRASH , CATFISH KELLY,S AND CHARLIES CRAB HOUSE , HERE WE COME, I have got crabs from both before and was GOOD , and GOT WHAT I PAID FOR

    First time I got Dixie Joes I was very impressed. Decided to get a 1/2 bushel of number one males…read moreyesterday. When I got there the crabs had been sitting out long enough to not even be warm. I called at 12:38 for a 2:30 pick up. The box said 2:15 but it was obvious they'd been done way longer. I arrived at 2:31. Got home and I could tell these were not true number ones. They were very small and very light. I'd say about 50% were number ones. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Then we got started eating. The were definitely water logged and I believe undercooked. I ate 1 and opened 3. All the same. The under belly's still had blue coloring on them. The meat was not firm it was watery and almost slimy. I knew I made a mistake after about an hour and being stuck in the bathroom with severe stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea. My first thought was to call the store. Honestly I was too sick to deal with the owner who clearly doesn't handle complaints well. After finally being able to hold my head up and stay out of the bathroom, I figured I'd call this morning but they are closed. . So instead I decided to leave an honest review, I'll Throw away $116 in bad seafood and simply eat the cost. My suggestion, check your crabs before leaving, don't just trust the reviews. Mistakes happen. If they aren't steaming we you arrive, don't accept them. Lesson learned here.
