Rappahannock Oyster Bar

I have genuinely loved eating here however, on 14 Feb 26, my husband eat dinner here and I ordered the shrimp and grits like I had done twice before. I was shocked at the portion size that was brought to the table which caused me to ask the hostess if my fish was the normal portion. In the past I received a full plate of shrimp and grits however on this visit, the portion was considerably less for $32. This felt like a ripoff. I’m very disappointed that a smaller proportion actually cost more money that the full plate I am accustomed to receiving.

I was excited to come to this place for Valentine's Day with my wife and the experience that we had was not great. The service specifically. Joey our waiter was not so pleasant or present we ordered appetizers and drinks alcoholic beverages everything was fine until he took our food order 20 minutes later and had the nerve to tell us what we wanted to order was not available. You should have explained that first before you took our appetizer order you would think. My wife ordered the short rib and I ordered the red snapper which both meals were out I really didn't have a problem with that so we ordered something else. Joey, our waiter did not come back to our table to offer us another round of drinks. I had to ask him multiple times for water. He didn't explain to us why our food was takin

I wanted to give more credit to this restaurant because it was Mother’s Day when I went. I have been considering how to review for months now and I have made the determination that there were too many glaring issues to rate any higher than a 3 star rating. Ultimately I decided that with how expensive the food is I would expect better food and service. We were a larger group and we had horribly slow service. Multiple people had cold food, our appetizers came out way later than our main dishes. Someone in my group ended up having to speak to a manager about all the issues we had. The experience was truly lack luster in every capacity. The only credit I could give is that the ambiance was on par with a lively raw bar. I would not recommend.

Excellent service and a laid-back vibe in historic Charleston, South Carolina. I sat at the bar and received quick service. I chose the shrimp and grits, which had a unique twist on the classic dish. I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere captured Charleston's rustic charm. There was ample seating and parking, and the surrounding area was very walkable.

We started off with the Seafood Tower: fresh, delicious, and filling. It gave us a great array of food and things to try. I especially enjoyed the chilled shrimp and the cocktail sauce. The Rappahannock Oysters were some of the best I have ever had. For our main dishes we tried the fish, spaghetti and clams, and the Caesar wedge. One thing I also noticed was how reasonably priced everything was. If you are looking for something on the less expensive side they have shrimp and grits, a burger, and more under $25. Overall a great dinner. 🦪 Recommendations: Crab Dip, Rappahannock Oysters, Chilled Shrimp
