Blue Ridge Seafood

I normally go here for their crab. This time I went just to have some of their hush puppies. Ended up having a proper meal. Service was fast and friendly. I went at an odd time (3pm on a Sunday) and was seated right away. I had the house clam chowder, boom boom shrimp ( I think that's what it's called), fried oyster po boy with hush puppies, and their take on old-fashioned. The shrimp and the poboy had the boom boom sauce. The shrimp is a bit like the shrimp appetizer at Longhorn Steakhouse minus the spicy peppers. I liked it. The clam chowder was pretty decent - it's a hard thing to get right. It wasn't all creamy and tasteless like in many places. The potatoes were just the right size and consistency and with just the right amount of clams. The old-fashioned was .... hmm ... don't bother with it. Not fair to judge a crab place for it's old fashioned. My bad for chosing that with all the other choices at hand. Should have got one of their cocktails instead. The oyster po boy with the boom boom sauce was just too much boom boom for one meal. The sauce overpowers the oysters. Next time I'll get the oysters by themselves. The hush puppies hit the right spot, and the coleslaw was pretty good too(orders them as a side with the PO boy). All of this set me back about $40. Which is very reasonable. The atmosphere is perfect - no nonsense with lots of tables. You come here to eat crab and get messy - and it is perfect for that. BTW - hands down the BEST steamed blue crabs in a 50 mile radius. I'd give them 10 stars for their crab if I could.

Blue Ridge is exactly what a crab house should be, nothing fancy, just great food and service. My husband is from Marylands Eastern shore and is very particular about his crabs, and these were nice and heavy and cooked perfectly! The oysters were huge and amazing! Love sitting out back when they have live music as well, it's the perfect combination.

I love blue ridge seafood. The food is fresh and delicious. The service today was incredible with the waitress checking on us frequently. Food was fast and hot and the portions were impressive for the value My only complaint is that I wish the tables and chairs inside were nicer. Overall, this is the best place to get seafood in the area.

We now live an hour from the restaurant and still come back. The whole steamed lobster is my husband's favorite, but come hungry because the crab balls and mushrooms stuffed with crab meat should not be missed. Good casual seafood dining. They have upgraded the inside to make it lighter and brighter, a nice touch.

Peyton was our server this visit, she was awesome! She was extremely attentive but not so much that it was too much, It was exactly right, and she mastered that eccentric service! She was so pleasant and had a great vibe showing she really seems to enjoy what she does. She was really great and made sure we had everything we needed. Been going for years and have never had a bad meal or bad service. Everything is always fresh and oh so delicious. I pretty much have a standing order of fried Haddock and fried shrimp, and it never disappoints even after all the times I've ordered the same meal. It's a great place for large groups also. We've had two 50th birthday lunches there. One on the patio with about 20 people, and one in the exterior inside room so we could have it to ourselves with about 15 people and let me tell you those servers knocked it out of the park. No one waited for their food, everyone's order was correct, and they were very attentive to all of us the entire time.

Lots of seating options inside and outside. Staff is excellent, attentive and friendly. Seems kid friendly. Food was good with lots of options. At our table the clams, stuffed flounder, shrimp, sweet potato fries, rice, combo platter and peach cobbler all a big hit! The menu is full of options. We did not go on the weekend but this place pulls a good crowd, plan accordingly. It's on par with the cost of seafood and the cost of eating out.
