    Outside entrance

    A bit of a dive looking place from the outside. Inside is what you would expect from a local seafood restaurant. You order at the counter. Self serve drinks. I had the flounder sandwich, fried. It was good. Plenty of food and not too expensive.

    This place is truly amazing. I haven't been in years, but the food is still just as good! It's a hidden gem, a small place, but full of heart. The service is always great, and they treat you like family. We ordered a little bit of everything.. snow crab legs, trout, catfish, oysters, a crab cake, soft crab burger, fries, and slaw. Everything was wonderful! The catfish was really good, and the oysters were my favorite. I even ordered some to go. Big thanks to the staff -- Nehemiah, Rowena, Netta, Wayne, and DaQuan. If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry, you all are awesome! Keep up the great work and keep smiling. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!

    This local dive was amazing. We ordered shrimp and grits, blue crap dip and soft shell crabs. Everything was amazing. Quick, fresh and so good.

    Good service, must've been a while since I was here because they have air conditioning now Order food to go while I was waiting and I came out in 10 minutes Flounder was nice and tender Scallops were amazing Not cheap but good seafood I got the three item combo . A lot of crinkle fries.

    Washington Crab was recommended by the hotel and had good reviews so I decided to check it out. It looks run down on the outside and inside wasn't as clean as I would have liked. Service was friendly and I ordered the flounder and shrimp. I went with it fried but grilled may have been better as this was overfried. I love sweet potato casserole but did not care for this. The fries and hush puppies were fine. I probably wouldn't return here as there are better options.

    Food was quite good, the portions were small for the price. The old adage stands true, you get what you pay for. Quality was A+. Service wasn't great but drinks are self serve so it was ok. Food came out quickly. Overall will come back as the food was good! Service and price made this not a 5 star review.

    Fried scallops, fried oysters, Cole slaw, hush puppies and French fries. So delicious!

    Every time I pass through Washington, NC I always have to stop at Washington Crab to have a meal. Their seafood never disappoints. They have the most wonderful, light batter they fry their food in. The portions are large and they have the best coleslaw. I enjoy ordering fried scallops and oysters. My friend had fried shrimp and flounder and enjoyed his meal. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you receive.The ambiance is vey casual and the service is always wonderful. I highly recommend making Washington Crab part of your travels.

    Fried scallops & oysters.

    Just a great local seafood joint with a basic seafood menu. The fried light shrimp, scallops and flounder platter is simply comfort food!

    Truthfully, how good is this place? I'm coming down there tomorrow and celebrating my wife's birthday. She wants crab for dinner. So... what's the real scoop?…

    This place is a hole in the wall. It's good but it's not fancy. If your wife wanted crab for a birthday dinner, this is likely not the place. More of an "out for a Sunday drive and stop by for lunch" vibe.

I've…read morelost count of the number of high end chefs whose meals we have enjoyed around the world and I'm not joking when I say that I can count on one hand the places that I would say are better than Blu. After numerous trips I still can't put my finger on what exactly is done differently at Blu to outperform so many fantastic restaurants. It's as if they have somehow managed the flavors of a Michelin restaurant with plating that isn't so... boring and sterile. Portion sizes are more than adequate, none of that one taste nonsense here. The service is always fantastic, professional and friendly. The owner is occasionally willing to share recipes with you and has never disappointed me with a recommendation. The cocktails? Just "wow". Perhaps what makes this place so fabulous is that they manage to do so well in so many categories. I'll consider that more in depth next time I make a reservation which may just have to be today. Speaking of, if you don't make a reservation, don't be disappointed when you don't have a seat. This isn't a place you can always walk in and sit down. They don't have many tables and it's obvious that they aren't the type of place to sit more people than they can take care of. Take some time, enjoy a drink and one of the best meals you'll have in the area. You won't regret it!

They have a nice selection of cocktails, many of which seem crafted to honor the local vibe. I had a cocktail containing a house distilled gin. Delicious. They also let my husband sample two of the house distilled gins before he ordered a gin and tonic. He was very happy. Kennedy, our friendly, knowledgeable server, brought out complimentary cornbread with brown butter/molasses butter and tomato soup shooters. Yum. They offer two- and three-course price fix menus, and for a few dollars more, you can make it a wine pairing. My husband did that, and I ordered off of the regular menu. His collard green salad was sensational! He couldn't stop raving about it even as he was finishing it up. His second course was filet mignon, and it was the most savory, tasty filet I've ever had! I had lemon risotto with asparagus and tomatoes - it was delicious as well. We were at the Hackney to celebrate closing on our house in Washington, and we made the perfect choice for a celebratory dinner. We will be back!

I ordered the bone in pork chop, it was just a Chop. No depth. No wow In the seasoning. It had chopped pickles on it and Was cooked medium well. I do better with a chop from Harris Teeter, some rosemary and a grill. My husband enjoyed the Rockfish although portion was small. Even the house bread pudding was lack luster. This was a birthday celebration. Was hoping the chef would walk the floor. But no. Luckily we stumbled into Blue the next day. Lovely. Hackney needs to taste their menu. We will come back to Washington. Lovely little town. Won't come back to Hackney for a while.
