Reviews for Margie & Ray's Crabhouse and Restaurant in Virginia Beach, VA

Nice spot off the beaten VA beach tourist area path with a great atmosphere, drinks, food and merch. We did flounder and salmon... so can't speak on the other seafood. I did hear that it was like the only or best place for blue crab in the area. Definitelyworth the short drive. Read more

Food was pretty good but we come from a coastal town in North Carolina and there are many options for us that are equal or... better for less money. The service is great here, the food is plentiful, but there isn't much competition around, so I thinkit's rated higher than it would be if it wasn't the only restaurant for several miles. Also, the parking lot is large, but fullof potholes. Sorry I can't justify the 5 stars many others give them, but don't pass it up because of me Read more

Came in for lunch. They were the only place we found that had blue crab. I don?t know who is in the kitchen but they deserve a... major award. Those crabs were steamed perfectly and had the right amount of Old Bay. Plus they served them with not just butterbut vinegar too! Not many places do that anymore. The staff was very friendly and courteous. If I didn?t live 5 hours away, I?dbe in every week! Read more

Food was amazing. Past reviews of the soup were correct. It was great. Service was wonderful and we left stuffed. Will be back... next time in the area for sure. Don?t miss this hidden gem. Read more

All the reviews are true!! This place is amaziiiing! We went to two places closer to the happenin part of VA Beach but they were... so crowded and the wait was so long we said forget it and drove the extra 15 to Margie & Ray?s. It was worth the drive. We satoutside in the porch area. The digs are nothing fancy. The ambiance isn?t either but the waitresses are excellent and the foodis spot on! She crab soup. Yes honey. So good. I got the seafood platter with 3 options - I don?t remember what it?s called.Also they do have a full bar and cocktails. That?s what we really wanted was a place that had some good drinks and it was hardto figure out from the reviews or their website if they served drinks but yes they do! And they?re delicious and a good deal! Itook a pic of the drink menu if that helps. Read more

A local, iconic, one of a kind place. From the food to the service to the atmosphere , this place is a must visit! Amazing... fresh seafood served in many ways. The she crab soup is the best you'll ever have. One should never come here and not have thesoup. Service is down right wonderful. Friendliest wait staff and food done exactly how you want it. Whether a local or an outif towner, do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal Read more

This is a fun place. Best she crab soup I?ve had it?s thick and heavy but oh so delicious. Most creative old fashioned I had.... Was tasty and surprisingly not too sweet. S?more old fashion. Seafood player was very well done. Fish was fresh and cookedwell. Read more

Everything you would expect from a small local, non- chain restaurant. The service is great. Food is served pretty quickly. ... You know the food is good because lots of locals dine here. Ordered the steamed seafood sampler, very good. My only regret wasnot getting blue crabs. Prices are fair, patrons are treated like guests and friends. Will definitely eat here again. Read more
