Reviews for Surf Rider in Poquoson, VA
The worst seafood I've ever eaten!!! Scallop Basket was a joke!! Mostly breading that fell off exposing scallops which were the... size of a pencil eraser!!! Tasted like they were soaked in brine!! I was raised on seafood and I know what seafood is supposedto taste like and how it's supposed to be prepared!!! Born in New Bedford, Ma.. scallop capital of the world!! This wasgarbage!!! So disappointing! So overpriced!! My photo shows what real seafood look like!!! Read more
The best seafood I have ever had! It was so good. I ordered the fried seafood platter. The waiter was nice and patient with us.... It was quiet inside and felt nice and cool and the view is fantastic! I loved it ????. I hope to return one day and bring mygirlfriend. Also the alcoholic drinks were really good. I love this place!

Delicious! Classic bayside fare; we had clam strips, scallops, popcorn shrimp, shrimp tacos, the tuna bites, and fish n chips.... Everything is reasonably priced and incredibly fresh. The kids' meal is $5 and came with probably 8 or 9 fried shrimp and tots,good sized for my 10-year-old. The building is butter yellow and can be seen clearly from the Poquoson River. There are plentyof open slips to park your boat for free and eat at the restaurant in early April. Summertime will likely be quite busy. Read more
The ambiance is great and the view is terrific. The service was good. The hush puppies are some of the best I?ve ever had. The... fried shrimp was great, as was the fried oysters. The fried scallops were spongy and the breading was overly wet. The friedflounder came with the skin on and had bones in it, making that inedible to me. The mud pie was good, although not a true mudpie. Would try again with a different order. Read more
An awesome place to go and enjoy the food and view. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the marina . If you like seafood you... have to stop there and ask for the seafood soup , fried shrimp , crab and An AMAZING ???? Broccoli (as a side). The service isbeyond of amazing. They are super friendly and now everything of the menu. That?s a place to go again and again. Read more
Came here with some friends while visiting. Service was good the food was delicious. Really good tuna bites on appetizers that I... would recommend to everyone. Read more
It?s a great spot with excellent service. Their menu is bit of a mess though with no flexibility for half their entrees which... are tied to fries or fried potato tots and servers are banned by management from offering alternatives or up charge options. Youalso can?t get only the entree without paying for the fries or fried potato tots. Hopefully this will be fixed in the nearfuture. Read more
