AW SHUCKS RAW BAR & GRILL REVIEWS
Great food! The food was really good and the place has a very at home warm feel! The standing bar is a missed opportunity as we waited to be seated we walked over but weren’t acknowledged, I guess it’s used for storage but that’s a great spot for drinks while waiting in a table. The service was ok the server was sweet but I think we went during shift change. This won’t stop us from returning as the food was really good and it was a homey warm feel we will for sure be back drinks and food were 10/10.
Extremely accommodating wait staff for a handicap party. Super friendly staff. Appetizers of the raw oysters (Cape Charles) and crab dip were the star of the show. The fish and chips, breading was amazing, fish was bland. Grilled cheese was tasty. The fries are a strange asking Star. Flounder topped with crab was very good. The Bounty platter was lacking flavor. Overall the staff and drinks were very good. We will return and recommend to others.
The oysters were delicious and the crabcake sandwich was the best crabcake I've ever had! The waitress was super nice and helpful, she talked me into getting a side of the macaroni and cheese, I'm glad she did. It was great! Also, great Thursday beer and oyster specials.

CAPTAIN GROOVY'S RAW BAR & GRILL REVIEWS
I had an amazing experience at Captain Groovy’s Seafood Bar! The food was amazing, especially the Oyster Rockefeller and bucket of garlic butter Clams. For our main meal we had the fried flounder and the broiled flounder topped with lump crab meat, shrimp, and creamy bearnaise sauce. Jenny made our experience great! She was on top of everything.The manager's personal touch made us feel truly valued. Catch their happy hour deals before 6 pm. They also have daily specials. This place is my new favorite seafood spot and deserves every star.
Sooo Captain Groovy's is now owned by the owner of Aberdeen Barn in Virginia Beach. The menu has basically stayed the same, but now, Thursday will be "Prime Rib" night. They also plan on adding Raw Bar. Mr. Barney and his new crew were awesome!! Gotta stop by, won't be disappointed.
Really cool and cozy atmosphere. The East Bay Oysters, Bolognese Lasagna and Pomegranate Sangria are all amazing! Not just the flavor, but the presentation as well. Perfect place for date night.

SALTINE REVIEWS
I’m so happy I found this place. I’m from Miami and had no idea where to go for a good happy hour. If you like seafood and affordable drinks this is for you. My bartender was Vee and she was very helpful in assisting me with my order. Their selection of liquors is ENDLESS whatever you want they have. I got to try new whiskeys I’ve never seen before. The food was delicious I had oysters and calamari from the happy hour menu. 5 stars all the way.
Our food was so delicious! My ribeye plate was so creative with the hot plate and all the sides were delicious as well. Drinks were the best part of the night. So innovative and creative. And the dessert was something I’ve never seen before! Ryan has made amazing drinks for the menu and the service was top notch! Thank you Ryan for a great night. Won’t be my last time coming to this great restaurant.
Every time I visit Saltine I am glad to have Destinee as my server. She is always welcoming, thorough, and so knowledgeable about the menu! I trust her when it comes to taking care of my guests and I. The rockfish doesn’t disappoint and comes with a delicious succotash mix. The she-crab soup is amazing, especially on cold days.
