We came last weekend as they were getting ready to close for the off season. It looks like you are driving to the middle of nowhere but ends at the market with a great view of the river. The oysters three ways was so delicious!! One of my favorite oyster dishes in a long time! For my entree I had the Baja tacos with pan seared mahi, topped with cabbage and pineapple salsa. They were fine but nothing special. Onion rings were also super delicious. Service was great! Very good Sav Blanc (the crossing)

Food and service great. Fun place to visit. Beer on tap and all food comes right out of the seafood market. Right, what more could you ask for?? Took home a pound of delicious raw shrimp.

Great location in Urbanna. Great seafood and ambience. Would love to live here in this part of VA but stuck in hell aka Phoenix. You people here in Urbanna don't know how lucky you are!

The drive to the restaurant was a little daunting, I just had to believe my GPS. It was worth the drive. The wait staff were very prompt, and the menu was varied. We settled on one of the platers & I had the soft-shelled crab sandwich. The waitress brought over tartar sauce per my request. However, the soft-shelled crab didn't need anything. it was fanatic. My wife had the plater and of course I sampled it too. The only thing that could be improved was the hushpuppies. They were a wee bit dense and hard to cut (not light). I would go back and try other items on the menu when we are back in Urbanna again.

Great spot hidden away on the waters of Robinson Creek. Pull up on your boat or drive on over, either way this place is worth visiting. The view is beautiful and the food was fresh and wonderful. I got the soft shell crab and my wife got the fish and chips. Both dishes were delicious. Highly recommend this little spot. Be prepared for a rough short ride in once you turn off the main road. Parking lot is gravel.

Nice little seafood restaurant on the water. Views are very nice. Food is pretty good. Variety for different seafood. An unexpected little adventure getting to the restaurant but don't be fooled by the dirt road, just follow to the end where you will find an old fish market. We always enjoy sitting on the covered deck watching the boats and wildlife as we have a few beers.

We just purchased a seasonal spot at Bethpage and saw this little spot on the water. Beautiful view, extremely friendly staff and overall the food was great! Highly recommend the calamari. We even had a little friend join us ;)

Another great destination in Urbanna. Food is great and love what they have done with the deck to make it more shaded. Great boat destination. Love their hush puppies and all seafood options are good!

Drive in is a little sketchy, and you won't be 100% sure you're in the right place even when you arrive. Just as many patrons come by boat and just tie up at the dock which is cool. Food is pretty good, but not great, and they have some good draft beer choices. Prices are what I'd expect for a seafood spot on the water. Ambience is good being right on the water and the service has always been good. I will definitely be back!
