Cool spot with outdoor upper deck seating. I don't know how people who can't climb stairs get up here, so be prepared if that's you or someone you love. My only thing was the top part of the deck should all be high tops, so you can actually see over the railing. It was difficult to see the beautiful water and tunnel construction on the upper deck with the low tables. I got the salad, and it was nice portion. I look forward to returning and sitting right on the edge near the water. read more

The Deadrise - MEDITERRANEAN SALAD - Seafood Near Me - Fort Monroe, Virginia

See all

The Deadrise is my go to in Hampton for a quick bite of authentic seafood. They have lots of options, great service, and a beautiful view. This past weekend, I visited, and it happened to be Restaurant Week. My go-to meal is their crab cake sandwich and fries, but I ventured out and tried their special: New England Clam Chowder and Seafood Mac and Cheese. The chowder was okay. The clams were a little chewy and it lacked flavor; needed a few more dashes of salt at the least. The seafood Mac and Cheese had potential. The crab meat on top looked enticing. The noodles were cooked to perfection. But the flavor was also lacking. It was not cheesy enough to call a Mac and cheese and again needed more salt and/or other seasonings. There also wasn't much seafood to boast about. Maybe a scallop or 2, a very small quantity of shrimp....the crab meat and roll were the highlight. 3 STARS (for this visit). The service was GREAT! Attentive, fast, and friendly. But I was disappointed with this dish. I'll be back. I'll get my crab cake! read more

This was a gem of a find. Food was amazing, drinks were cold and prepared perfectly. The she crab soup was some of the best my wife and I have had in quite sometime. Clearly a local favorite, when we first arrived around 3PM we were seated right away. When we left there was a line to get int. Our server was awesome, personable and a great sense of humor, which really made our experience even better. Cool little spot parking is great and right off the highway on the water. Well done. We will be back! read more

The Deadrise is a nice seafood restaurant in Fort Monroe with pretty views of the yacht club. The downstairs bar serves a limited food menu, while the upstairs restaurant provides full service. The she crab soup was rich, creamy, and well portioned. The blackened salmon cake sandwich with fries was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We would return for the excellent food, service, and coastal vibes. We also suggest adding more outdoor seating or tables with waterfront views. read more

Loved it! Crabcakes, go for it! Service was great, overall great experience. I would Highly recommend this place on the water! read more

The food, service, and ambiance (except for the flies outside that should be mitigated better) were all good but not amazing like I was expecting based on the reviews. The calamari appetizer was good but a skimpy portion for the price. The blackened tuna with black beans and rice was good albeit slightly over cooked; and there really should have been way more pico de gallo and seasonings on the beans especially given that it's advertised as being topped with pico. The crab stuffed salmon with roasted potatoes and asparagus looked great and tasted good too. If that's the only restaurant that's open or has available seating, I wouldn't complain about going. But I'm not making it a destination restaurant that I have to keep revisiting. I don't feel the need to return to try anything else on the menu or try specials. read more

10'24'2024 Fantastic location, on site FREE parking, priceless views, and great service by Meredith P. I visited this establishment while in town for Hampton's Homecoming, and wanted a scenic lunch situation. This place delivered. Free onsite parking, easy to locate entry, clean, etc. I entered and sat at the bar. Meredith was very kind and assisted me w menu questions. I ordered the following. Salmon Avocado BLT - Absolutely delish plentiful !! Kentucky Juice Box (Bourbon, House Made Apple Cider, Maple) - Very tasty, great concoction!! It's been over a year since I visited, but I never forget a great feeling/ memory. I've been recommending this greatness to everyone since I've left. Keep up the exemplary job Deadrise !! read more

AMAZING! From the service we received when we first walked up to our meal I couldn't rave more. We started with the deadrise lemonades and crab dip! The lemonades were very refreshing and the crab dip AMAZING! The dip came with freshly fried pita chips and the perfect pairing to the dip! I had the crab cake sandwich and it was great! Cooked well, and great portion. My friends had the big fish sandwich and they loved it!! It was a HUGE portion but overall all the food was great and the service as well, would definitely recommend it read more

Visited Thursday night, July 23 and I was disappointed with my fried flounder this time. I've visited Deadrise a number of times before and have boasted about how wonderful their flounder is. Fortunately,this was my first bad experience. Service was great, as usual. The atmosphere was great, as usual and the price for 4 was not bad. I should have said something to my server as my mother in law who was visiting for the weekend had the same complaint about her flounder but neither of us wanted to complain to the restaurant. In hindsight I feel if we had brought it up the restaurant would have acknowledged our concerns and addressed the situation accordingly. I will consider this experience a one off and look forward to coming back soon. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant: and it WILL NOT be the last! I had the salmon stuffed with crab and it was excellent. Also, the broccoli and red potatoes were absolutely delicious. The server - Ashley - was very attentive and courteous. She served us with a smile and was very friendly. Another factor was the cost, the meal was worth every penny paid and the atmosphere was family-friendly. This restaurant has all the bases covered - you can come here on a date or with your kids. The next time I am in Hampton, I will definitely come back. The Deadrise has made me a believer. read more

We really wanted to like this place, because it came highly recommended; however, it definitely did not meet expectations. We ordered mac & cheese for the kids and a few appetizers for the adults. The adult food is brought out 10 minutes before the kids meals were. The mac & cheese was fine. My she crab soup had a bunch of shell in it. I also ordered the PEI mussels, and they tasted very fishy. Not normal seafood fishiness, but like they were a little on the old side. The sauce was also extremely salty, so much so that I ate barely a quarter of the mussels before we paid and left. Would not go back. read more

Service and the outside views were great, views overlooking the water. The crab dip appetizer was delicious at $18! And they use freshly squeeze oranges to make their Orange crush drink However the seafood trio dinner plate was a rip off... $42 for over cooked, greasy, unflavored tiny pieces of seafood. I got 3 small shrimps, 2 small pieces of scallops that were cut in half and a small portion of crab meat... the string beans were good but the potatoes it came with were dry... it just tasted like my plate was sitting under the heat lamp for too long and overcooked and dried out everything! read more

Great ambience. Poor service. We had ordered for fried fish and had specially requested to keep the fries, hush puppies separate with fish due to dietary restrictions. They still gave them together on same tray. When reminded them of request, they just gave an empty tray. Forgot to give cutlery with the food. Even asking for them no one came. We had to go and pick up cutlery ourself read more

Great view and the staff are very friendly and professional.The food was good, not much of wait.

Service was good once she finally came over and spoke. Food- I wasn't the biggest fan of it however the 2 people in my party enjoyed it. View- beautiful view and even prettier watching the sunset. Music was pretty good. read more

Overall, the experience was absolutely fantastic. From the overall ambience itself with having the waterfront views to the delicious food, I was very much impressed along with my guest. From the hostess to our waitress, everyone was very inviting and also provided recommendations on what to order. All of the food that we received at our table was hot and you could definitely tell it was fresh. I would definitely go back to tryanother option or a special from the menu! read more

The Deadrise is a laid-back bar and restaurant near Fort Monroe on the water. Food is excellent and service is fun, friendly, and efficient. We started with an order of the She Crab Soup, which was large enough for us to share and was filled with crab and delicious! For entrees, we enjoyed the fish tacos, which were made of grilled mahi mahi today, and the salmon avocado BLT with crispy fries. Both meals were nicely seasoned. The BLT came in a hoagie type of bun, which was a little too much bread for me so I ate it as an open-faced sandwich, consuming only the top layer of the bun, which contained the avocado spread on it. Parking is in an open lot next door. You need to be able to climb stairs to the restaurant, as it's on the second floor. They also have a very nice outside dining deck. read more

My co-workers and I, party of four, wanted to finish up a long work trip by trying something new. We got to the restaurant around 8pm. It was not very busy, but to be expected with it being later in the evening. The service was not too bad, but was not phenomenal either. We ordered our food and it did seem we had to wait a while for our food, Once we got it and dug in, the food was delicious! I got the stuffed flounder, one got the fish sandwich, another got the seafood nachos, and the other got the shrimp basket. Be advised food prices are a bit on the higher side, but the amount and quality of food we got with our visit was good. I would also like to go back when it's warmer outside ant daylight to enjoy it he views. read more

The Deadrise - SHE CRAB SOUP - Seafood Near Me - Fort Monroe, Virginia

I was excited to visit Hampton for a conference because I missed all the small seafood restaurants I remembered from my youth in the Norfolk area. Of course those restaurants are long gone, but new ones have taken their place. I found the The Deadrise on Yelp and convinced a couple of friends to go there with me on a Tuesday night. It is not the easiest place to get to, but we thought it was well worth the trip. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but feels cozy and friendly. We sat outside on the deck and had a great view of the water. Drinks were inexpensive but satisfying, and our meals were really good. I love crab cakes and they did a great job on them. Sides were good too. Our server was friendly and attentive. We went back to the hotel very happy with our Deadrise dinner! I told a bunch of friends about The Deadrise, and went back a second time with another friend on Friday evening. We figured it would be busier, and it definitely was. The parking lot was full and we ended up parking a block away, no big deal. There was a long wait for a table so we sat at the bar. The bartender was really fun to talk to, and all was well until our meal came. Mine was fine, but to my embarrassment, my friend's was cold inside. They reheated it, and he enjoyed it, but still... While we were eating, a group of six of our friends who I had recommended The Deadrise to arrived. Probably not the best idea on their part to come with a big group to a small restaurant that doesn't take reservations on a Friday night! They had a very long wait, and were just getting seated when we were leaving. Unfortunately they had a similar experience with cold food, and overall they were disappointed. But I have to tell you, I loved the place. Not pretentious in any way, good drinks, reasonably priced, nice views, and great crab cakes. If I get back to Hampton I will be going to The Deadrise more than once! read more

Wonderful dinner on a Friday evening! Delightful and friendly service with our waitress very willing to make suggestion from the menu and always bringing what we needed with a smile! The clam chowder was great - only complaint is that it came out with bread rather than oyster crackers - yet still tasty! Our party loved the Big Fish fried flounder sandwich (huge and delicious!), wonderful crab cake entree, and the Oyster Po Boy . Topped off with a vibrant and bustling dining room, outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful Chesapeake Bay, and a gorgeous sunset! Lovely choice for a seafood dinner! read more

It's a hidden gem. If you are checking out Fort Monroe and want great seafood, give this place a shot. It's on the pier and looks a little run down from the outside. I think it is just a little weathered. But it's well worth it. The place is small, and there is seating outside when the weather is nice. It's right off the water so that it can get windy. The staff is fantastic, and the food is excellent. Go to the fort, explore, take a walk on the beach, and when you are done, get the fried shrimp. She crab soup is fantastic; it's loaded with crab, just a little spicy, and so good! I have a slight problem with the salmon sandwich. The bread is too small. They pile on the fish; with the extras, it's just too much to eat like a sandwich. What they should do is punt the bread and make it a salad. But the fish is cooked to perfection, so it's still very good. I would absolutely Go back. read more

Enjoyed dining at The Deadrise. Food and service were good. However, I wish the deck dining area had more cover. My husband and I regretted requesting outdoor seating. We went for dinner around 5:30 and were seated on the bottom tier of the deck dining. As the sun sets on that, there was absolutely no cover from the sun. Will definitely be returning, but sitting inside next time. read more

Talk about some amazing seafood! We have been here twice and they don't disappoint! The views are beautiful, and the food compliments the view....the restaurant is a bit out of the way, but those are some of the best places...make sure you have the fish sandwich, it's amazing and huge....you will definitely get fat and fill here.... read more

Amazing food, even better service, with an even better view, couldn't ask for more. The inside is decorated in a modern ish rustic ish way that just fits its vibe perfectly, parking isn't too bad either. Highly, highly recommend! Their hush puppies, calamari and the grilled chicken caesar salad are my new favorites. Charity was such an amazing waitress, I cannot wait to come back and visit her! read more

We found ourselves at Fort Monroe around lunchtime and checked the map in the visitor center for a place to eat. This was the perfect spot! I had the fish tacos and my husband had the fried oyster basket. Topped off with Mango Cart and it was perfect. This place it exactly what you're looking for when near the water! As others have said- you need to go up the stairs but another customer said- it's worth the climb! read more

The food is very delicious and fresh! I came here on a whim with my wife because we wanted food and happened to be near the beach. We throughly enjoyed the food despite not being big fans of seafood. The portions were also a good amount and we had left overs. The staff are friendly and attentive. There is both outdoor and indoor seating. Indoor has A/C but we opt for outside to get the cool ocean breeze. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area again. read more

Where do I begin? The Bluff is this: great food, excellent service, and a great environment! The menu's focus is seafood; there are burgers and steaks, and I'm sure they are good, but get the seafood. It's fresh, elegantly prepared and served and old so good! We went off-season for seafood, and it was still fresh. I'm not sure if it's local catch, but I've passed this place many times while working out, and I always see it being brought in daily, leading me to believe it's fresh. Service is the best next to none; servers made menu suggestions, informed us of the specials, and kept the drinks filled. I always recommend the specials because these are not regular menu options; they are seasonal, I guess. The environment is looking over the Elizabeth River toward the naval base. Plenty of outdoor seating so you can enjoy the view. Indoor seating is about 15 tables, so consider sitting outside. There is a full bar and a TV for us sports enthusiasts; it makes a great place to watch a game. The portions are significant for the price, so be prepared to take some with you. I can't believe I've waited this long to go here, and I'm looking forward to going ng back! Give Deadrise a try; you will not be disappointed. Happy Yelping! read more

No better way to spend a warm summer night watching the sunset than at The Deadrise! Huge portion sizes. Cheap drinks. Breathtaking views. Fresh seafood. What's not to love! Shoutout Gavin for being an amazing server. He had detailed recommendations, the inside scoop on what people usually like the best, and was on top of refills and making sure we were all set. I got the fried flounder basket and my wife got the fried flounder sandwich...we'd recommend both! read more

Sooo this place stole my heart with the chefs special buffalo shrimp recipe! The shrimp are about the size of my wrist and are amazingly juicy and delicious! It's a fish bar restaurant so the ambiance is fairly casual. I love sitting on the patio facing the water. The server was great but the bartender argued with me about how to make a margarita! Which was unprofessional considering it has soda in it. But other than that.. I'll just come for the shrimp and water view for now read more

The place is awesome ! We love to eat on the patio and enjoy the sunset! The waiters are so kind and knowledgeable!!

Strange entrance you have to climb stairs, I ordered a Oyster PO boy ,food was ok. I expected more after reading reviews.

I want to start by making it clear that my low rating is entirely related to the rudeness of the restaurant management towards another customer. But first my review. This was my first time to deadrise. The restaurant location is on the second floor of a nondescript Building at Fort monroe. If you're looking for a place with "character", this is it. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and though we chose to sit indoors, the outdoor view was spectacular, overlooking the marina. They had a number of specials posted on a chalk board, and though they specialize in seafood, my wife got the deadrise hamburger. I wanted the blackened Cobia, they were out, so I got the blackened Mahi-Mahi. Though it took a bit longer than normal for our meals, both were hot and flavorful when they came out. The Mahi-mahi in particular had lots of black beans and rice on one side and green beans and carrots on the other but I did not taste any blackening seasoning. It just tasted grilled. Even so, it was tasty. My wife thought the hamburger was a bit undercooked - she asked for it to be cooked medium - but she said it was good and juicy. If my review stopped there, I probably give them four stars. However there was more. Sitting at the table next to us was two older gentleman who were enjoying the long leisurely meal the whole time we were there. At some point, while we were eating, we overheard one of the two gentlemen tell the waitress she had failed to give him his credit card back. There in ensued a calm 10 to 15 minute back and forth discussion between them and the waitress, with both looking for the card and not finding it. The gentleman got up and looked all around the table and in his wallet. Both remained calm and polite, but the waitress finally started saying there was nothing else she could do. We watched as the older gentleman got up and asked to speak to a manager. One of the waitresses pointed at a person who was at the drink station which was right on the other side of our table. He walked over to speak with her. She immediately seemed agitated and defensive. I was pretty surprised at her reaction since the customer was so calm about it. I didnt see what happened next, but when we received our bill a few minutes later, I noticed that the holder that they bring your bill in had a slot for your credit card. But the slot in their folder did not have a bottom to it. When I put my card in the slot, it disappeared down inside the holder. It occurred to me that the same thing may have happened to the older gentleman's card. I got up and went over to share that information with the Manager. She was immediately defensive which surprised me. I explained that I was just an onlooker and was trying to help. As we spoke, another waitress walked up and pointedly told me that they had looked through all the holders three times. I explained that I had actually watched them look for it. They just opened and closed each holder. I repeated my observation that the holder's slots did not have bottoms in them, and that the card could be pushed down inside it. Just opening the holder might not be enough. At this point, I told the manager that she seemed a bit rude when she spoke to the older gentleman. She said the man had gotten in her face and she didn't appreciate that. Now the older gentleman and his friend had been sitting at the table on one side of us. The drink station was directly on the other side of us. Both locations were within 5 ft of our table. We could easily see that he had NOT gotten in her face or had been anything but polite to her. I finally told her I was just trying to help by suggesting where the card might be and then we left. Its ironic that our waitress was so nice but her boss was so rude. Though I liked the Deadrise and love the rustic location, unfortunately I will not be back, entirely because of their management. read more

Super delicious food - fish sandwich well worth the value (get that over the basket). Disappointed at the cost for oyster basket and number of oysters received but was breaded/seasoned well. Crab dip was full of crab - could have used more seasoning but that is a personal preference. read more

What the heck happened?? This has always been our go to place when out of town guests are here. Haven't been in several months. Went yesterday and it was totally different experience! We should have known it had gone down hill when we arrived and it was so few customers. I have been many times of the day and they are always busy, not anymore. I always get the margarita because it's sooo good. Had a foam on the top and tasted weird. Should have sent it back. Service was not good. Server hardly checked on us. Granddaughter ask for melted butter for her shrimp but never got it. I was picking bones out of my fried flounder. That has never happened! Oh well, I won't be back. They can just close down like their other restaurants are doing !!! read more
