Seafood Restaurants in Hampton, VA: A Local Guide
Waterfront meals, oysters, seafood markets, and fish platters at five Hampton spots
Generated seafood illustration; not a photograph of a listed restaurant or its dishes.

Seafood restaurants in Hampton, VA offer more than one kind of outing: a marina meal, oysters in Phoebus, or a fish platter from a seafood market.

 

The useful question is which setting, menu, and service schedule fits your day.

 

This guide focuses on five Hampton options with details checked on October 13, 2026.

 

It is a planning guide rather than a ranking or a review based on firsthand meals.

 

For a broader look at local dining, explore our Best Hampton VA Restaurants: A Local Dining Guide.

 

The Deadrise: A Seafood Stop at Fort Monroe

 

The Deadrise is at 100 McNair Drive at Old Point Comfort Marina in Fort Monroe.

 

Its waterfront setting makes it an option to consider when you want to combine a seafood meal with a Fort Monroe outing.

 

Steamed shrimp is one confirmed offering, while the restaurant’s fish-house focus gives seafood diners a clear starting point.

 

Check the current menu rather than relying on an older menu photograph to decide what you will order.

 

The restaurant seats guests on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis and does not take reservations.

 

That matters if dinner is part of a timed evening: leave room for a wait rather than treating your arrival time as a guaranteed seating time.

 

Published hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

 

Confirm service before leaving, especially if you are arriving close to closing or need a particular seating arrangement.

Surf Rider Bluewater: Seafood at the Marina

 

Surf Rider Bluewater is at 1 Marina Road in Hampton, at Bluewater Yachting Center.

 

This is the Hampton location of a restaurant group with several branches around Hampton Roads.

 

Make sure you choose Bluewater when checking directions or calling; a menu or ordering page for another branch can lead you to the wrong location.

 

Crab cakes and hand-breaded seafood are among the offerings highlighted in Hampton’s tourism listing.

 

The marina setting makes Bluewater worth considering for a waterfront meal, while non-seafood options can help when your group wants different dishes.

 

Those features do not guarantee a particular table, outdoor seating, or a view from every seat.

 

Surf Rider’s official contact page says it does not take reservations or offer call-ahead seating.

 

It lists Bluewater as closed Monday, with Tuesday through Sunday service beginning at 11 a.m.

 

Because that page does not give a precise closing time, call the Hampton restaurant before planning a late visit.

 

Choose your branch first, then confirm its own menu and hours.

Oysters on ice — generated illustration, not a restaurant photograph.

Fuller’s Raw Bar: Oysters in Phoebus

 

Fuller’s Raw Bar is at 38 East Mellen Street in Hampton’s Phoebus district.

 

Raw oysters and steamer platters are central to the restaurant’s seafood identity.

 

This is an option to investigate when your group is more interested in shellfish than a conventional fish-and-sides dinner.

 

Ask what oysters and steamed selections are available that day instead of expecting every variety to be offered at every visit.

 

The restaurant’s website lists daily hours of 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and directs diners to its Facebook page for the menu.

 

Verify kitchen service and current specials directly if your plans depend on a particular dish.

 

Fuller’s also gives you a seafood-focused stop within a broader Phoebus outing.

 

For other choices in the district, read Phoebus Restaurants: Where to Eat in Hampton, VA.

 

The neighborhood guide helps you compare seafood with other dining styles before everyone settles on one restaurant.

Graham & Rollins: Seafood Market and Prepared Meals

 

Graham & Rollins’ Hampton Seafood Market & Restaurant is at 509 Bassette Street.

 

The combination of a retail seafood market and a restaurant distinguishes it from the marina and raw-bar options in this guide.

 

Crab cakes, steamed seafood, prepared specialties, and party platters are among the products promoted by the business.

 

Consider it when you want a prepared meal, seafood to take home, or supplies for a gathering.

 

Before ordering for several people, confirm portion sizes, pickup timing, and which items are available.

 

The retail market and restaurant have different opening times.

 

The restaurant is listed as open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

 

The retail market opens earlier on weekdays and Saturdays.

 

Also distinguish local pickup from the company’s separate shipping service: an item on a nationwide shipping page is not automatically a ready-to-eat order at the Hampton counter.

 

Anthony’s Seafood: Fish Platters and Po’boys

 

Anthony’s Seafood is at 2600 West Mercury Boulevard in Hampton.

 

Its posted menu includes fish platters, shrimp, scallops, oysters, crab cakes, and seafood po’boys.

 

That makes it an option to compare when you want a seafood sandwich or a fish-and-sides meal rather than a waterfront outing.

 

Whiting, flounder, catfish, and tilapia appear among the fish choices on the menu.

 

Platters are listed with fries, hushpuppies, and coleslaw, though diners should confirm the contents of their specific order.

 

The website lists Monday through Thursday hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with Sunday closed.

 

Ask about prepared-food service if you plan to arrive at the beginning of those hours.

 

Prices and available choices can change, so review the current menu before ordering.

 

Choose the Meal That Fits Your Plans

 

For a marina setting, compare The Deadrise and Surf Rider Bluewater.

 

For oysters and steamer platters in Phoebus, investigate Fuller’s.

 

For market shopping alongside prepared seafood, consider Graham & Rollins; for fish platters and po’boys, review Anthony’s menu.

 

These are different dining formats, so compare the full outing rather than assuming all five are interchangeable.

 

Confirm the kitchen’s hours, current menu, seating policies, and any dietary or access needs directly.

 

A waterfront address does not guarantee outdoor seating, and a seafood menu does not mean every ingredient was caught locally.
