If you are looking for legit seafood, you have found the right place. They have crabs, crab boils, oysters, scallops, shrimp, you name it they have it! The service was exceptional, which always makes for a great experience. We most recently had family visit who wanted crabs so of course we came here! Prices are about average for seafood, not overly priced, in my opinion. Please make a reservation before you go, the restaurant used to be a home so it's not very large. I have nothing negative to say, everything was so good! Thank me later when you go! read more

My husband and I had dinner last nite. My girlfriend recommended Wickers to us because of the good seafood. It's our go to place when we visit VA Beach 1-2 times a year. Not fancy. Very clean. Good service. We ordered their delish hush puppies to start us off. They're still delish. They were greasier than last year's so we wrapped them in a napkin to remove some of it. Still delish! My husband had his usual, the crab boil-crab legs, steamed shrimp, red roasted potatoes and an ear of corn (halved). He went to work as soon as it hit the table! There was enough food for 2 people to share. I decided to try a crab cake. I ordered the crab cake dinner with green beans and red potatoes. A large helping of well seasoned green beans and roasted potatoes and 1 crab cake. (You can also order the dinner with 2 crab cakes). My sides were very good. The crab cake was decent. It wasn't as moist or seasoned as i hoped it'd be. I won't order it again. Last year, I tried the salmon which was delish. When you're in the area, you must go to Wicker's! Small parking lot but they provide overflow parking in a nearby church's parking lot. They also have a window outside for carryout orders. read more

Great place to eat some crabs. Went with friends and there was ample seating. We sat indoors and were seated right away. Our waitress was great, attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Lots of different options for food. Seasoning in the crab boil was good. They also had a few non seafood options for my kids like a burger and chicken tenders. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again. read more

I had 6 large steamed male crabs with Cole slaw and French fries. The crabs were fresh and hot. I so enjoy steamed crabs. The MP was reasonable for the quality. The service was excellent. My sister had the fried oyster platter and a slice of homemade key lime pie. Very enjoyable! read more

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

Did you guys change ownership. OMG my fried fish and shrimp were battered for filfth? Like at the Chinese joint, if I wanted Chinese food, I would go there, however I dont eat that mess. The fried fish didnt even look like fish, they ain't feeding us fish and shrimp yall. Then had the nerve to give me an a@@ load of stale fries. I remember ordering shrimp from this place and the shrimp looked like shrimp and tasted like shrimp. With that much batter on everything, what are you hiding? read more

First time here, person at our hotel pointed us in this direction for "the best seafood you've had " . I have to say I absolutely agree with this man, Sam. Thank you for the tip. It was very good! Crab cakes are amazing, no fillers and Fresh yummy crabmeat! It's so good, the she crab soup is the best I've ever had. The green beans are really good and the stuffed shrimp is yummy! The ambiance is a typical down home seafood restaurant. Definitely worth your time to go try it! A local favorite. read more

Beautiful service and clean restaurant. My soft shell crab on a hamburger with a small 2x3" bowl of coleslaw was not worthy of 18.00. I sat with 4 other people so I had to pay another 4.00 gratitude, 75 cents for using a credit card, tax this tiny sandwich with coleslaw cost me 27.00. Way too pricey for the small amount I received. My friends had fried chips with real potatoes (cold as ice and not seasoned). She crab soup I tasted was tasteless. It's really not worth the money at lunch time when you can go to other restaurants and get a 10.99 special for 3 items. I was there once for bunch years ago and said I would go back but because my friends wanted to go for lunch I attended and I feel the same about this place. read more

First visit and not a good start. Party of 4 on Sunday at noon. Was told nothing is available. Not it will be a 30 min wait, just nothing available.

Forgot to mention I viewed two open tables on our way out. 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

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

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

I had been wanting to try the food so I finally did, but I will not go back. I arrived and had to be seated downstairs even though I saw 2 empty tables upstairs. As soon as I was shown to a table and was going to sit down at the table, I was asked if I would be ordering crabs. So I told her I didn't know because it was my first time there and needed to look at the menu first. She said if I was going to order crabs and be there for over an hour, I would have to sit at the bar because that table and two other tables were needed to be pulled together to seat a party of 16 scheduled to come in an hour. So I agreed to move to the bar but had no choice if I wanted to eat there. I ordered a cup of the chowder, the fried deviled crab and the fried flounder/shrimp combo plate with corn and dirty rice. The chowder was ok but had a different unique taste that I just couldn't figure out what it was. It may have been a splash of sherry. The fried deviled crab was very dry and lacked any real taste because there was no seasoning in it. The crabmeat was so dry that it was actually crumbly. The fried flounder was ok, the shrimp were fried so hard, but there wasn't any taste in either item. I sent the dirty rice back because the rice grains were undercooked. I chose coleslaw as the replacement, but it was just shredded cabbage with shredded carrots. There was no mayo, no vinegar taste, no sugar and very sour because there was nothing added to balance or give it any taste. I ate just a small piece of the fish and asked for a box to go. Because I didn't want to take the coleslaw, the waitress asked me if I wanted some hushpuppies to go. None had been offered with the fish combo. You can tell that it is a local hangout with familiar patrons because more attention is given to them about their drinks and food orders. My waitress (Brittany) was all over the place serving them passing by me. I specifically asked for just tartar sauce when I placed my food order. The food came with no sauce or condiments so I had to repeat my request for tartar sauce. A young guy brought 1 small container of tartar sauce, cocktail sauce and ketchup. I had to ask for salt and pepper because none of the food had any seasoning. The best thing I had was the arnold palmer drink. When it was almost gone down to just ice, my waitress finally noticed that and brought me another one. The entire time, she was going back and forth pass me because the locals were sitting at the bar beside me ordering tequilas and cherry sunrise drinks. My total bill was $55, but because of the lack of taste of the food, I can officially say that I tried Wickers, but I won't be back. I did find it interesting that the sign outside said crabs are cooked, but you can't place special orders. Does that mean they cook the crabs all times of the day, keep them hot until somebody orders some, or if they are already cooked and you don't know when they were cooked, they might have been sitting for hours, cold or reheated when you get them? I love hot steamed crabs, but like to get mine freshly steamed when I order. Oh well. Wickers is Wickers, just not for me. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
