It's a terrific spot for a night out or a special occasion. The food is a 'B.' Salads are properly dressed and creative. Fish is fresh. Clams were a salt bomb. Fried capers that accompanied the soft shell crab were burnt and turned the otherwise nice dish bitter. Crab cake appetizer was perfect.

Ok, we ate outside because it was an incredibly beautiful day. The views were stunning. The weather was just grand. A bit sunny, but hey, we were outside. It was all exceptional (except the dog that was allowed to run loose and beg food). The waiter was spot on and we had a great time. We started off with a charcuterie board that was ginormous, varied and tasty. That started the wine bottle off just perfectly. We also shared a crabcake that was an awesome start. I had the scallop dinner. Scallops have a fine line between cooked too much and too little and this was knocked out of the park. As near to perfect as I've ever had. IT was the most tasty seafood I've had in a long time. I can't wait to return and dine again inside.

I didn't see an official website but they are active on Facebook with their latest operating hours and crab specials. (https://m.facebook.com/NNCrabshack/).

I…read morefondly remember our neighborhood burger spot (Crickets) and this is the new generation version. It is run by locals and full of local employees. It's were you go to see people you know and went to school with. Heck some of those kids working there may still be in school! The food is good, reasonably cheap and fast. If you want to "Buy Local", start here. When you come inside make a sharp turn and place your order. They have menus on the right hand side and take a look while you wait your turn. After you order, grab a spot inside or outside. Not a ton of space in or out, but enough and a lot of people just grab it to go which helps. After you order, wait your number and then pick up your prize. I have a huge soft spot for crabmeat and went with the crabcake sandwich. I bet their burgers are better. It wasn't bad, it was just good. Others in our party said the burgers were great. I'm such a consistent player that I never met a bad pecan pie nor a bad crab cake. I have a WIDE tolerance for my joy. I ordered a side of fries and they were ginormous. You only need one for every few people so be aware. Overall, super happy and look forward to my next visit.

As soon we entered we were greeted with warm, genuine smiles from owner Shawn Pickett and Sarah the beer/wine slinger and oyster roaster extraordinaire. Rustic tables and local art adorn the walls of this authentic Virginia tavern. All the food prep is done out in the open - and owner Shawn shucked oysters to order - not a minute earlier than necessary. Sarah offered to serve batches of three oysters at a time so we could try four of their most popular treatments in a dozen oysters: Urbanna Rocks, Waterview Herbs, Port Royal, and Fredericksburg Artillery. Every treatment was unique and delicious- without overpowering the taste of the FRESH LOCAL OYSTERS. After we made quick work of the first dozen, we zoned in on a dozen more of our favorites - the Port Royal (Olive Oil, Thyme, Lemon, Parmesan, and Breadcrumbs) and split a Lansdowne sammich (Ham, Brie, Fig Jam, and Greens on Pressed Sourdough). Oh, man what great food and beer. We left stuffed (but reserved just enough room for a scoop of the Rum Raisin ice cream around the corner at Something Different). We'll be back - early and often - to this pearl in the heart of Urbanna.

My husband and…read moreI came in and they seemed a little busy on a Friday night, but the bar was totally empty so it was perfect. We had great conversation and service all evening with the bartender. This spot is definitely more of a pub type place. Food is American bar food with a coastal flair. I got the potato skins and my husband got some fried fish. They were both good but nothing to call home about. The bartender also came up with some pretty good drink options, I was surprised because I expected a standard bar with well drinks but she definitely experimented and had some great menu options to choose from. We walked down to the water for the sunset and enjoyed their little beach, it was a perfect nightcap. Great little spot in the area!

This is a sizable restaurant able to accommodate large parties with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was very attentive and staff very friendly. There is a big selection of food from seafood to burgers, pasta, pizza, bbq, salads, steaks, soups, and always specials of some sort- if your not sure what you want or your party can't decide (and even if you can) then this is your place because there is something here for everyone We have tried a bit of everything across the menu and didn't have a dish we didn't like. In fact I was surprised at how good they were given the variety. Add to that, that this is scratch cooking it makes it a bit more special. I particularly like that the restaurant makes note and practices using less salt to support its patrons health. I didn't find anything bland and certainly not anything over salted either. The restaurant offers a big beer list with many craft and micro brews along with full bar and wines. We tried the lemon cello cake for dessert and thought it was spot on- well balanced and not too sweet. Live music at times- check the web for who and when. A fun place to eat at and the food very much compliments to the fun. Definitely worth your try for a laid back restaurant experience with options for everyone. As a cafe, Willabys is a solid choice at 4+ stars in my opinion. Happy eating!

If you're running late to the movies, You can take your food to the movie theater as well. Price is pretty nominal. They have plenty of parking spots. Really glad they have this place in the northern neck area.
