RedBones Raw Bar & Seafood Grill

Red Bones Raw Bar & Seafood Grille has me scratching my head for a number of reasons. To start, for a raw bar, all I saw on the menu were oysters, dozen for $21, 1/2 dozen for $11. Most of the other seafood items were fried or grilled. And when I say most, I mean all.On the Friday night when I came, they had live music in the main bar where I dined. There is also a smoking bar which has pool tables and a juke box. The place main bar was packed. There is also an outside area.I would consider this a dive bar, but for a dive bar the food is approaching gourmet. On this occasion I had a dozen oysters. The oysters were fresh, but only half were shucked. The cocktail sauce that came with it was partially frozen and tasted a little old, and the horse radish had no flavor.Also had the fish dip, which was quite amazing. It was a cheesy seafood party in my mouth. Was also observing the food which was coming out for the other patrons and it all looked scrumptious. I have to come back with more of an appetite.So here is why the five stars. The service was super awesome and the place was slammed. The drinks were so reasonable, Titos drink for $6.50, well vodka drink for $4, and they have craft beer on draft. So here you have a dive bar with reasonably priced drinks and good food. Red Bones has a great staff and a welcoming environment. Thus place is definitely worth a visit if you are in Chesapeake.

This is a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal. They offer daily specials for just about every craving.

Great food great service. Definitely worth the stop on our way south from New York . Highly recommend

FIRST TIME HERE! Was told by my Sister that they had the best food and specifically the best Wings. Her favorite in Hampton Roads! Greeted as soon as I sat down at the bar by the bartender - she was quick! Got a cold beer and ordered wings (of course had to see what the sister hype was about :)). Ordered one of the specials - English Dip (prime rib sandwich w/ au jus) and I picked rice and beans as a side. For the wing sauce I wanted something spicy but not burn your face off... she recommended "Da Bone" and she was spot on. Beware! The Wing Appetizer is a meal!! 10 wings and fresh crispy and cold celery! She warned me I'd be taken some food home.... The wings were super fresh, not breaded with a good amount of sauce, and were nice and hot, fresh out of the fryer. The bartender told me they'd be about 17 minutes because they make them fresh and she was spot on. The English Dip special was really good. The prime rib was cooked perfectly medium rare, so if you want something different, just ask. The au jus for dipping had a great beef taste with onions. Very good. The side of rice and beans was delicious. Had a little shredded cheese on top with a small dollop of sour cream. It also was a nice hot temperature. Beans were moist and juicy as well as the rice. Overall great experience! This is definitely a hopping locals spot, but as the bartender told me they love new people! This year will be their 20th year in business there! They also are just finishing up a nice looking red roof. There are 3 different areas that she explained to me:1. The billiard, darts, game room w/ gambling machines. They also do poker on Monday nights. 2. The bar, table and booth area3. Outdoor patio. She said the tent will go up 1st week in March. If you haven't stopped in, you have to check it out! I'll be back with the family!

Came here on a whim. We wanted to try out a new joint so me and hubby said why not! This place is located at the corner of Battlefield and Kempsville rd in Greenbrier and it is a very busy corner of the the city so be careful if you are trying to turn in here. We walked in and immediately got a feel of a old school biker/bar and restaurant. It took a while for the waitress to help us and I think it was because she was the bartender and waitress. Not sure where everyone else was but she needed help. The food was good. We ordered shrimp and fries and it was tasty combo. Cool place to come if you want to chill.

Staff is always attentive; never waiting on a beer to be refilled lol. Ordered the chicken skins...oh em gee! Highly recommend it. Unless you're on a diet hahaha. The crab soup was delicious! Perfect for a 30 degree weather! Warmed me right up! Plenty of parking. Bathrooms available. They have a designated motorcycle parking area. They also have an outdoor tent area as well. Sit at the bar or grab a table. Perfect for group settings as well. Awesome hole in the wall kind of bar!

Sat here for 45 mins with no waitress returning to get our order. Only plus was a $3 bloody. I guess you don't get served here unless you're a biker. Cool vibes and would've liked to have tried to fried oysters. Maybe just bad timing.

My wife and I met some friends Saturday for the shrimp special $10.95 (either fried or steamed). They were delicious, cooked just right. Our server was awesome! He was always checking in us as our beers were getting low. This is a Chesapeake landmark and for some reason we had never been to. We will definitely be back !!!
