What a find. While visiting my cousins waterfront property (I have woodland property in California he 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. read more

We went back after the remodel. It's just okay. The meal was really expensive and not really worth the money. read more

Peanut's Steak and Seafood - Fried Seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - Spotsylvania, Virginia

After New Management this place doesn't have a chance A decreased menu smelly, dirty and over inflated prices. read more

Peanuts is a great spot for dinner. My wife and I went and the appetizer to dinner was great. The service was great but the only recommendation I would suggestion is making the inside more presentable. I didn't score the looks as they are slowly making upgrades from What I see and it is under new management which seems to be investing money into the presentation of the place. Great job! Other than that, it is a great place to eat. read more

My wife and I were finished with our Sunday errands and looming for a place to have lunch. We decided to drive 20 minutes out of our way to a place called Peanut's Steak and Seafood in Spotsylvania Courthouse. From the outside it's a very unassuming place. However when we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly server. We sat at one of the relatively few tables they had. I think Peanut's might be more of a carry out place. They obviously specialized in crabs. On the wall was the Super Bowl specials, which included crabs, crawfish, frogs legs, alligator nuggets. They also had beer in the cold case to go, along with sodas. Anyway, we sat and ordered drinks. My wife wanted unsweetened ice tea, however they only had sweet tea. She had that, and reported that it wasn't overly sweet so it was fine. I had a Dr. Pepper, which came bottled. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer. They were very good, nicely breaded and hot. My wife ordered two soft shell crabs, one made into a sandwich. She loves soft shell crabs, and said that these were quite good sized and very good. I had a Ribeye Steak Sandwich, medium, with baked beans. The steak was decent, and it may have been medium rare instead of medium. However to me over-cooking is the greater sin so it was fine. We enjoyed Peanut's, and if we're in the area again, we would certainly come back. read more

Some of the best seafood at this spot! Wife and I were strolling along rolling down the road saw this place and passed it whipped my truck around cuz I asked if she was hungry and I was hungry too. And we both agree on trying this spot out. Glad We did. Because it was fantastic! Amazing, fried cod and grouper, mashed potato's and gravy, fried onion rings, hush puppies, abs Mac and cheese. Everything tastes so dang good and tastes like homemade too! It was excellent. We will definitely be back for sure. Thank u for such an amazing delicious experience! Also inside is kinda like a gas station with booths and tables and one bathroom, very clean and very nice staff we chose to get it Togo and eat in my truck cuz of the c19 pandemic. Received our food drove off some place decent to stop and eat and it was just yum! read more

Oh the places we find on Yelp. Good reviews so we had to try it. Amazing fried oysters - the best we've ever had. My soft shell crab sandwich was delicious! Never judge a book by its cover. read more

Yes!!! Drive to Peanut's Steak and Seafood for the All-You-Can-Eat crab legs and Shrimp with hush puppies. Draft beer is $2.00 16 oz cup. All the food is good. I can not believe we gave the quality in a country town. Red Lobster, Joe's Crab Shack has nothing on Peanuts. So much more for $49.99. So far I've visited 4 times and it's consistent. read more

We found Peanuts when our "go to" source for hardshell crabs was, well frankly let's just say, too busy to take our reservation for Memorial Day. We found Peanuts to be every bit as good and only a tad bit more expensive. But the service, it was exemplary!! The woman who took my order said they weren't usually open on Memorial Day but, due to all the calls the owner was considering a limited schedule. She confirmed, took my order and we picked them up today. The crabs were delicious!! Not one was overcooked. They were perfect. Thank you Peanuts Team for helping us continue a tradition our family has carried on for decades. Thanks for demonstrating world class service. read more

Prices were high for crabs. Staff was nice. Crabs were a bit overcooked. Atmosphere was interesting

We visited after a telephone call to make sure they could seat 6, we were out to dinner for a send off to Iraq for our son. They reserved the table for us, which was really nice. First, I like places like this, hole in the wall, family owned business that wants to provide service and food that is worth what you are paying. Some may not be happy with the "ambience", those people need to get a life. The service was great, over the top in fact. A lot of people could take a lesson from the family taking care of their customers here. I really appreciate the service. And things were how they were supposed to be when brought to us. The seafood was pretty good, shrimp excellent, and boil was good, one had crab cake which was OK, but I grew up in MD and am a CC snob. Sides were great, cole slaw was especially good and crab mac was something different. Ribeye was OK, cooked as ordered. Cost was appropriate. I think really the only negative was plastic forks and styrofoam plates. This may be due to dishwasher or just "how they do it". But I would prefer a real fork, and plate, especially for a steak dinner where you have to cut. Only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Thank you for the service. I'll be back for the shrimp and/or soft shell crabs! read more

We were looking for seafood tonight and this place got 4 stars so, why not? Pulled in, talk about your hole in the wall, wow. My wife had local crabs, I had an oyster po boy. Food was very good, fresh and the folks running the place were, well, country is my opinion - I like country. Don't judge a book by its cover, stop in prices were reasonable - we will definitely be back! read more

I absolutely hate to give this place a bad review. I want SO BAD to like them. The people are super sweet, it's clean, & right down the road from my house. They JUST opened, so I will give them a break. HOWEVER..... guys. Your food is just not good. The room was filled with smoke from the deep frier. Fried food should automatically come with sauces & patrons should not be charged extra for asking. The jalapeño poppers did not have any flavor (how is that even possible?), I heard the table next to me complaining that their drinks tasted like straight water, and the side salad is served in the same teeny tiny bowl as coleslaw. I will come back in a few months because I want so badly for you to be successful.... but changes need to be made. read more

Peanut's does not look like much from the outside but the food is spectacular. We had crawfish, shrimp, scallops and crab legs. I can't say enough about how great the food was here. Beer was nice and cold and only $2.50 for a 16oz draft. We loved this place. Going back soon!!!!!! read more

Have tried Peanuts a few times. They have a variety of things on their menu. I ordered the surf and turf to go and everything came out as I ordered it and the prices are really good for the amount of food that they offer. I recommend giving it a try. The Steamed shrimp are really good. read more

I wish I could give this place at least 100 stars. Peanut and his family are the most kind hearted people I have ever met in my life. The seafood was absolutely delicious. Some of the best seafood we've ever had in our lives. The prices are very affordable. We will be coming back as soon as we possibly can. This is my new favorite place to eat. I love the laid back and super friendly environment. Everyone we met made us feel like we were at home having dinner with close friends and family. I can't even begin to tell you what an awesome experience it was for us. We 100% recommend this place to any and everyone. If you want to have a great dinner with great people please go check them out. I promise you won't regret it. read more

We like to support locally owned restaurants so gave Peanut's a try. It was a carry out order. Won't return, unfortunately. I ordered the fried catfish which was an adequate serving but no tartar sauce included. The crab mac and cheese was a little too salty but not bad. Hubby ordered the 8" steak and cheese sandwich which was served on an extremely soggy hamburger bun with a slice of American cheese. The steak was whole, not sliced which made for difficulty in eating. The hush puppies were overcooked. The only thing we agreed on was the cole slaw. It was above average. read more

Great food and great service!! We got frogs legs, alligator nuggets, coconut shrimp with a baked potato and green beans, and fried oysters with hush puppies and potato salad. Everything was INCREDIBLE! We had a lovely dinner and the staff was so sweet! The chef came out and chatted with us. read more

We got 4lbs crab legs medium spiced, pound of shrimp heavy spiced, mac n cheese, crab mac n cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, french fries and corn all in the large sizes. All of it came to under $120 AND was delicious. Man that is a deal. They also delivered in the snow and the staff is super nice. We will absolutely be back often. I honestly am really impressed and were pretty seafood picky. Oh and the baked beans are some of the best I've had and rival any BBQ joint around my daughter made it clear next time she gets her own large serving.... read more

This is a family run business that has just opened. They care and take pride and it shows. It is an old fashioned, no frills spot close to Indian Acres campground and Thornburg off 606 (Morris Road). Right now, they are open weekends only, but have said they are going to add weekday hours soon. The owner, Peanut, checks on you to make sure everything is just right. The waitstaff are conscientious and check on you as well. They have delicious steamed shrimp and crabs. Their beer battered onion rings are huge and delicious. The potato salad is wonderful. Their green beans are also delicious. The hushpuppies are on the sweet side and very tasty. Two choices for fries: crinkle cut and seasoned. The crinkle cut come in a basket and are very good. We have not tried the seasoned fries yet. They offer specials as well. The one special we saw was lobster or crab cake and ribeye steak which we plan to try real soon. Their prices are good as well. You won't be disappointed! read more
