Fuller's Raw Bar

Everything was amazing--the food, the service, the atmosphere... I came with a group of friends (four of us total). Our server, Stephanie, was so fun. We started with the Monday shrimp+beer special, and the shrimp was the best we've had on our tour of the mid Atlantic coast so far. Stephanie also immediately recommended one of the daily specials (shrimp curry) which was indeed absolutely delicious. We also had grilled swordfish and scallop fried rice (both specials) and all of it was so good. We finished the meal by trying each of the desserts. Absolute do NOT skip the pineapple upside down cake. It is literally one of the best desserts we've ever had. We loved the food and the experience here! We're from Texas and Indiana but we would definitely come back.

All-around a great restaurant in the Phoebus area of Hampton! Stopped in late afternoon on a Saturday before the dinner rush, but it's not an overly large restaurant and because the food is so good I can see it getting crowded! Very nice server who made sure we were taken care of. Food: I split the shrimp and mussels boil and it was delicious! So good and plenty of food for two! We even took some home. Can't wait to go back and try it more of their menu!

I visited on a Sunday afternoon. I was initially worried it would be packed but thankfully they had seating available. The environment is causal but would also be a cute date night spot if you were feeling like dressing up. Rebecca F was super attentive & friendly. For drinks: I was debating on ordering the Lavender 75 or the Sal De Gusano. I went with the bartender's recommendation & ordered the Lavender 75. So grateful I did! It was tasty, the lavender flavor tasted natural & was not over powering. It was beautifully garnished with a lemon peel. For starters: I ordered a side Caesar salad. The salad was fresh & overall good but a little over-dressed, in my opinion. For meal: I ordered the Fish & Chips! They were buttery, flaky, & moist. Highly recommend the Lavender 75. I'll be back again for the drink & to try more of the menu!

This is a perfect seafood restaurant to go to before or after an event at the American Theatre near Hampton University. I had the shrimp basket, and an bananas & cream ice cream sandwich bar, all was delicious. Their oysters basket is also delicious and has French fries with it. I sat at the bar since I was alone and didn't need a table for which there was a line wait.

This is my go to spot in Hampton for some good seafood. Come on Tues and enjoy their 'shuck a buck' $1 oysters. We ordered 10 raw and 10 steamed. Service was good. It's always busy after work hours. We also split a chicken sandwich... OMG, it was straight up bomb! Will definitely be ordering that again. All in all, I always enjoy myself coming here and highly recommend.

Fuller's Raw Bar is the perfect hidden gem in Hampton to visit to if you're craving seafood.As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're at a beachside restaurant because of the eclectic array of nautical decor. The staff was extremely friendly and our server offered us some great suggestions on what to order since this was our first time visiting.If you were to only order one thing off the menu, I would highly suggest getting the Caesar Salad topped off with fried oysters! While the platters are what probably attracts most people to Fuller's, the salad topped with fried oyster is unlike anything you've ever tried and more than justifies the cost ($10 salad + $10 for oysters).The Steamed Sampler Platter was our main course and was enough food for two of us to feel satisfied. The Steamed Sampler Platter came with 6 Oysters, 6 Clams, 1 Snow Crab Cluster, Half Pound of Mussels, Half Pound of Peel n Eat Shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage!

Although they look nice in the photo I included, I would not recommend the snow crab, nor as an east coast restaurant, would I have it on my menu. I like them when they're good, but these were not the best. The shrimp were good and deveined. I thought the mussels and clams were also very good.The more brackish water raw oysters were my favorite (I preferred them over the oysters included in the steamed platter), and while nothing was egregiously wrong, we spent a lot of moolah (100), and still left hungry. I understand seafood's expensive, but maybe their price point was off, because we were two of four total patrons in the restaurant at 5pm on the Thursday. The couple next to us ordered chicken sandwiches with fries, which they enjoyed but was not even seafood.

Hey, so, if you're planning to eat here, just a heads up, they don't accept more than $100 through Apple Pay, tap, or contactless payments. The service was just okay, the food was just okay, and the atmosphere was just okay. Nothing really stood out, but it was a bit annoying when they told me I couldn't pay more than $100 after I went to the register to pay.

Fresh seafood but sauces & service could be better.The seafood on our sandwiches tasted great. I would skip the tartar sauce due to the banana peppers. The shrimp po' boy also tasted great. Had I been paying attention I would have asked for the buffalo mayo on the side. I think it would have been better without it.Blue cheese kettle chips were a delight.They don't have a kids' menu. We ordered the big chili cheese dog, hold everything. Unfortunately there was no discount.Service could have been a bit better. It seemed like the server was in a bit of a rush. The plates were taken off the table without asking. Sometimes we weren't done with them yet.

Like oysters as much as I do? If so, Fuller's is definitely the place for you. Raw, steamed, fried, Fuller's offers oysters from various surrounding bodies of water. I have had the steamed shrimp as well, which are tender, large, and tasty. Service is always quick and attentive. When in the Phoebus section of Hampton, check out Fuller's!!!
