I would have giving this place a higher rating, because the seafood is absolutely awsome, however our server was the worst thing that I had ever witnessed. The food arrived fast and was quite tasty.When I have to beg for a beverage refill multiple times and still not receive it. Well it left a bad taste in my mouth. I... More

The Bay was awesome, Huge deck while you wait. A large billboard full of boats for sale. Almost a two hour wait for dinner, but it was well worth it. The fried oysters were excellent. The bourbon Shrimp was the bomb. The crab cakes top notch.Being from Georgia the sweet tea ain't the same. Great experience and the price is... More

This restaurant is located in a marina so the views are of the beautiful Hampton coast, yachts, and rippling water - unbeatable. They had menu options that would fit any budget, from soups, salads, sandwiches to full seafood meals. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was laid back, casual and relaxing. We had to wait for about a half... More

Wonderful place to meet for lunch or dinner: couples, business, friends or family gatherings. Such good seafood, very fresh; great scenery and pleasant service. Be prepared some nights (especially popular nights with good weather) to wait, I don't think they take reservations. It is worth any wait though. Enjoy.

We LOVE Surf Rider Bluewater! These people focus on seafood and making GREAT seafood and it shows. There is something to be said about them having a wait. But it's worth waiting for! It's located in a beautiful marina. Every time I give someone directions I have to clarify and say keep going because you'll think your lost and then... More

I was in Hampton for business and a colleague from the area mentioned Surf Rider, strangely enough going on about the broccoli side. I had excellent crab cakes (among the best), shrimp and the broccoli. I left full and very happy. I love boats and the marina was quiet and relaxing. I will go there if I am back in... More

Been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the food, especially the soups, hush puppies, etc. Don't know what's up but the food has taken a dive in quality. Very different to my palate at least. Hope it was an off day because in the past it has been my familys go-to place.

This is one of the few places in the area which we know we can bring guests from out-of-town and be certain that the seafood is fresh and prepared according to the standards of southeastern Virginia. Portions are huge (I once got 21 scallops on a single plate). Fried foods are lightly breaded. Restaurant itself is nautical - nice water... More

As we on the East Coast know it's an intermural sport to find and brag on The Best Crab Cakes in the World. We award this to the Surf Rider - our favorite restaurant is at Vinings (formerly Taylors) Landing. The crab cakes at the other restaurants are equally good but the tie-breaker is the water view over the flying... More
