Email I sent to Wickers, I was highly disappointed. "I tried calling your restaurant and keep getting frequent busy tones. I came in on 3/8, I was #46, I ordered 2lbs crawfish, 1dz female crab steamed, and crab balls. Only 4 out of the 12 crabs were edible, the rest was mushy and soft. I'm not sure if you are receiving frequent complaints but I wanted to ensure you were aware. Crawfish were great." Maybe we shouldn't rush the crab season. read more

It is our first time and it was good. We ordered the seafood basket (crabs, shrimp, corn and a lot of potatoes) not flavorful if you are used to seafood boils, the shrimp were so good. I ordered the seafood platter fried, the seasoning is a bit salty for me but might be ok for others. I like the coleslaw and the shrimp. My son had the sliders and he loved it. The service was good, she is pleasant and always smiling. The place looks good and there is a person manning the parking which is good. Overall a good first impression. read more

The ambiance was good, there were a lot of people inside enjoying their seafood fix. Staff was friendly, we were seated right away, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered oyster Rockefeller - it wasn't typical oyster Rockefeller where it's baked or broiled on the shell. It was more like fried or baked oysters topped with cheese and stuff. Tastes good, but nothing extraordinary. read more

If you're looking for seafood that feels like it came straight off the dock, Wicker's Crab Pot delivers the full tide-to-table experience. From watching the staff pull live crabs from baskets out back to digging into platters piled high with shrimp, oysters, and crab, this spot celebrates everything about Chesapeake seafood culture. As well as a very traditional decor and sitting area. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller -- rich, cheesy, and baked just right without drowning out the briny oyster flavor. The hushpuppies were golden and crisp, served with a honey-butter-style dip that disappeared fast. For mains, the Seafood Platter (fried fish, shrimp, oysters) was hearty, while the Lump Crab Tacos brought a punch of flavor with fresh crab and a creamy drizzle. The highlight, though, was the OG Steam Pot: corn, red potatoes, snow crab, shrimp, and clams, all seasoned with a Cajun kick that had us licking our fingers and wishing for extra bread to soak up the juices. Service was friendly and unhurried, which works perfectly in a place where you're supposed to roll up your sleeves and enjoy the spread. Prices are on the higher end (our table ran about $170 with tax and surcharge), but the portions and freshness make it feel worth it -- especially when you know the seafood didn't travel far to hit your plate. Final verdict: Wicker's isn't just a meal, it's a coastal Virginia experience. Come hungry, bring friends, and don't be shy about making a mess -- that's half the fun. read more

Oh my goodness!! Absolutely the best crab dishes I have ever had. And this is coming from someone who has eaten ALOT of crab in her day. (Literally my favorite dish). Everything was reasonably priced as well! And service was absolutely amazing! 10/10, I will definitely be going back. read more

The food was great! I never had crab stuffed shrimp before and was very pleased with it. The service was excellent. She was very attentive and even took back a drink that someone at our table didn't like. My only complaint was that it was extremely hot in the restaurant which isn't entirely on them, but you know it's a problem when the waiters are sweating from head to toe. Over, I was pleased! I'd definitely eat here again. read more

Wicker's Crab Pot - Crab Stuffed Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

We stopped by on a weekend and had a reservation and so had an easy seat! With a pretty straightforward menu and tons of options, the four of us who are eating dinner are you able to get exactly what we wanted. The best part of the menu is that there are more than just fried options, which I find is often in the case near this area. I really like eating steamed or blackened fish options and this place had them both! with a super great vibe, decent drinks, and delicious food, I will absolutely be back. Sure parking can be tricky, but there's extra down the block if you need it! If you're looking for a low-key fish spot with fresh options, to include softshell crab there in season, this is it! read more

We were greeted when we walked in and told to sit wherever we'd like since it was a Friday midafternoon. Both bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable and patient with us since one person couldn't decide on which beer on tap they should get. The bartender brought us a few samples. One ordered soft shell crabs which was amazing. Cooked to perfection and not loaded with breading. The crab was fresh! One ordered the devil crabs - 2 baked and 2 fried. Both excellent although he likes baked the best. The bartender who waited on us was pleasant and cared about your dining experience. We will definitely be going back. One thing important to us is cleanliness especially the restrooms. They were very clean. read more

Terrible service and disgusting food. Maybe because we're black but one thing for sure, they will never get $$$ of money from our family and friends. read more

We arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation. As soon as we walked in, the hostess told they were completely booked, even though the whole restaurant was full of empty tables, without asking whether we had a reservation. Then, once I told her we had a reservation, she was relieved. While checking us in, a couple walked in. She asked if they had a reservation; they said no... but guess wha?! She did not immediately tell them that they were full, and somehow they got a table next to us. Interesting! I'm giving two stars because our waitress, Becca, was great and provided good customer service. But aside from that, our crab pot wasn't what I expected. I thought it would be more like a seafood boil with crab legs and wet seasoning, but disappointingly, it wasn't, so the crab wasn't seasoned well and was a bit dry. The ambiance was okay, it seems as a popular place... we also enjoyed the hush puppies and crab balls. read more

Wicker's Crab Pot - We had two cluster, potatos, corn and sausage. Plus Hushpuppies and crab balls! - Seafood Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

So the good first! Service was absolutely amazing, did a reservation since its known to get busy. Asked for a back corner since we like to be away from the middle of the hussel and bussel. Plus we came for anniversary dinner. Got a great seat in the back were it felt secluded and was a bit quieter than the rest of the place. Got our drinks quick, I got the Wickers islander which was great would definitely get again. The appetizer of calamari was wonderful and we loved the sauce it came with plus they give you a good portion. The she crab soup was nice, i think it could use a bit more seasoning but thats just person preference as my husband liked it and finished it in no time.My husband got the fried oyster Po'Boy with hushpuppies and enjoyed it for the most part had just wished the bread wasn't so hard. I ordered the build your own steam pot with blue crabs,dungeous crab cluster, oysters,andouille sausage,potatoes. I did want crayfish but sadly they were out so we got some extra oysters. Oysters great,sausage and potatoes great. Sadly the main thing we came for..the crabs sadly they were over cooked and a bit tough and bland, I ate through a bit of it but ended up taking the rest of the crabs home to let others in the home pick at them and they agreed something was off about them and just ended up tossing them. Maybe it was an off night but I would definitely give them another try with something else on the menu just not another stem pot...definitely going back for that calamari lol read more

We ordered the fish and chips, fried oysters, fried shrimp, and fried calamari to go using their online ordering system. Everything tasted rather bland, except for the fried calamari. The sauce that came with the calamari was delicious! I would definitely recommend ordering online. We had to change one of our orders, but you can't make changes over the phone -- you have to reorder at the to-go window. The wait there is rather long for such a simple order. read more

I visited Wickers for the first time Sunday afternoon and got a dozen large crabs with heavy seasoning. Maybe 2 out of the dozen were large, the rest were medium and all the seasoning was at the bottom of the bag. However, none of that bothered me because the crabs were buttery, fresh, and delicious. I'm from Maryland and these were probably the best crabs I've had all summer. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

This is my second visit in two weeks. I forgot to review my first visit but this one did not fall short at all. The atmosphere downstairs was a little more nosier than upstairs but probably because of the bar area. I love the option of the outdoor seating. The hostess immediately worked out seating for our party of five. She was very pleasant as so was our waitress. Service time wasn't super fast but good came out in a decent time. We ordered different meals and shared. Oyster rockafella , lump crab meat top with shrimp accompanied with string beans, snow crab pot, Dungeness crab, sausage, seafood mac and cheese, fried shrimp and hush puppies. Whew!!! Everything was great... no complaints from our first time guests either. read more

Wicker's Crab Pot is a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal for lunch or dinner. They specialize in seafood and they have a great variety of different items on their menu.

I am so disappointed in my to go order. We drove from Chesapeake to visit this place. I don't know if the food was bad because they were closing soon or what. Long story short I spent $109.26 on tasteless, thick, and hard food. I wanted to try the seafood macaroni. It was dry and it appeared that they made a crab cake and stuck it in the middle of the macaroni and chopped up maybe one to two shrimp. Cheese was not gooey and the overall dish was bland and dry. I also ordered the Rockefeller Oysters . Presentation was in a to go box were the toppings just glided right off the oysters. It was definitely not a Rockerfeller it was more cheese and bacon. I had to ask for lemons, like come on. Now to my husband's order. He had the Dirty Rice and added sausage. His food was in another brown takeout box that was not suitable for the meal. He said the rice was flavorful but the sausage was hard and over cooked. It wasn't what he expected either. He ordered 3 baked devil crabs that were not baked. My daughter said it looked like cat food. He also ordered She Crab soup. Looking at the take out menu it has a cup/bowl for size options. I don't know how she upsold him to a quart of soup. That cost $30. We get the soup home it's hot but thick like glue . I am just amazed because we haven't eaten here in years. I was very disappointed and it was not worth the drive. I tried calling but of course they were closed by the time we made it home. There was absolutely no love put into our food and the packaging for the to go items are not suitable for every dish. read more

Very casual ambience at the Crab Pot with an outside pick up window, Tiki Bar, outdoor dining patio, small indoor dining room and another enclosed porch type dining room downstairs. Lots of good options on the menu. We went for lunch on a weekday. There was only one server working the upstairs dining room. She was as busy as she could be but she never lost her smile and worked as quickly as she could. If the parking lot looks full, which it often does, go down the street half a block and park in the church lot which is reserved for WIcker's customers outside of church hours. read more

Wicker's Crab Pot - My appetizer tonight 1 dozen raw oysters. - Seafood Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

As a first timer at this establishment, I was very pleased with what I ordered. I had a cup of she crab soup, which was creamy and seasoned well. I also ordered a one crab cake entree which came with 2 sides. I chose the green beans and French fries. The green beans had to be the best I've ever tasted. I mean it was just seasoned with butter and garlic but it was done well! The French fries were spot on, with a crisp exterior, but soft on the inside. My crab cake was good. I had a peppering of crab shell in the she crab soup & crab cake, but that's expected with those types of entrées. Our server kept our drinks filled, but the amount of time for the food to arrive took quite some time considering the restaurant was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Friendly and attentive service, food was promptly delivered after ordering, and the place was pleasantly clean for a crab cracking restaurant. The Jimmies were pretty good (they hit the spot, but the meat didn't slide out of the shell), and the Crab Balls were just ok (they were a mid-version of Baltimore's crab puffs). Overall, it was the service that would make me recommend Wicker's. read more

We went here tonight because I longed for blue crabs. It came with corn on the cob and red potato wedges. The portions were generous. It said 1/2 dozen but I think there were 8. Some were a little small. Maybe that's why. It was $50. For the portions I thought it was quite a deal. My daughter got a "Build your Own". She chose 1/2 lb. Snow Crab, Andouille Sausage, corn and potatoes. I do not think she got 1/2 lb. of the snow crab. She should have said something. Her dish was over $30. This is my reason for three stars because I think she got shorted on the snow crab. We also had a dozen raw oysters. They were good. $18. Fairly good price for these days. The atmosphere is very friendly and we had a good time. read more

The worst. Had a party downstairs and refused to serve 3 women upstairs drink for the bar. Within 10 minutes they served 4 men at that the same bar drinks.

Looking for quality local seafood? This is a must-try in the 757! Went on a rainy day, not too busy, but not completely dead. If you got lost walking around looking for the front door, you're not alone lol. Staff is great - probably the highlight of the entire experience. They were very attentive and hospitable - something I definitely look for/am vigilant about in any establishment. Thanks Sara! We started with she crab soup. I would've taken a picture but I devoured it. It was my favorite thing on the menu so far. Very crabby, not watery. Not too thick and very mild and tasteful. The mid-Atlantic is known for this dish and they give it its just-due at wickers. We got the seafood platter and the stuffed shrimp with crab. Seafood platter: Oyster, scallop, shrimp, flounder, and a small crab can in a shell. you can only get it all fried or all broiled, no mix and match. Stuffed shrimp: good and tasty, pretty pricey for such a small amount of crab and shrimp was cooked perfectly, but just in a normal way. Dirty rice was really good but the broccoli was water as it was just steamed with no seasoning or edible presentation. All in all, everything was good and I'm looking forward to returning for another experience. read more

Food and service was good. Prices reasonable. Decor was familiar for coastal seafood restaurant.

Had dinner there last Monday afternoon with my daughter who was visiting from the West Coast but she agreed, the food was fresh and well seasoned. The portions were adequate. The server met us with a pleasant smile and was timely in serving us. The building itself lends to a folkie type of environment but with the nautical display of art many stories be told. I will be back! read more

Wickers is a local favorite. I personally like going during the warmer times of year as they have outdoor seating and often have live music. The crab boil is delicious and the atmosphere is suited as such. Wait staff has been hit or miss but not horrible. Cocktails are ok but nothing imaginative. If you are looking for a fun night out during a hot summer night go here and have a couple beers. read more
