Sam's Crab House

I've been wanting to visit here for a loooong time, and randomly decided to try this place out. So here's the thing, the shrimp was very tough maybe over cooked? Both the fried shrimp and the shrimp in the salad were overly cooked. Sorry to say but the seafood salad which is usually my favorite thing to order at seafood restaurants was NOT good, don't waste your money or time. The crab legs were very sizable and full of flavor, I mean it's what you would expect nothing too out of ordinary. I would definitely come back for the crab legs and I saw the blue crabs were $18 for half dozen, which is the most affordable I've found in the city! But the cooked food, I don't think I'll try the shrimp again, I am eager to try the fried fish, hopefully that won't be disappointing. Three stars for me!

Still in love with this place.. We recently stopped by this place as i met up with one of my friends who is from hometown NJ.. she's a chef so I had to keep her mouth watering while she was in town. This is one of my top seafood spots in Richmond. She ordered the shrimp platter with hush puppies & 2 piece of lake trout "as pictured". She loved every bit of the food.

I kept driving past this crab house on JD thinking it was a place that sold seafood cooked food. I happened to look it up on Yelp and saw that they had ready made food (other than sea food) and it's a fish market. The two guys were kind and welcoming. I ordered ribs and sides then fried fish and sides. The ribs and fish were good. Cabbage and greens were surprisingly good. I didn't like the man n cheese or mushrooms. I'd go again and try different sides.

I'm always skeptical about trying local places on JD because I've had bad experiences, but I just keep trying and thanks goodness I did!Sam's is on point! Fish was fresh, fries homemade. I mean, I'm at a loss for words. Food: I ordered a combo of Whitting(3pc), fries, Texas toast and a homemade sweet tea. I wish my pockets and my waistline could afford me to eat here everyday! Hubby ordered a combo with ribs, Mac n cheese, greens and a sweet tea. He did say the Mac n cheese tasted like something store bought but it was still really good. Everything was great no complaints. Note: This is not a sit-in restaurant. You order to go. If you've driven by or wondered about them please go in and get you some of his good food; you'll thank yourself later.

I'm so in love with this place. Not only is the food soooooooo good. The service is just as great. The 2 guy's there are so friendly. I couldn't make my mind up what side I wanted, so he gave me a sample of every side! I literally wanted some of each to go!

If I lived in Richmond, Sam's would be my go to for seafood. We called Sam's to ask if they had crab, and they said to come in about an hour. When we are arrived, we also decided to order shrimp as they looked really good. They cooked everything for us upon order so the crab and shrimp were all very fresh. Both the crab and the shrimp were delicious. Sam's also has a variety of chicken and sides. I would definitely return for lunch or dinner and I highly recommend this spot. The service was excellent.

We placed a large order for a family gathering and the food was amazing and fresh. We truly appreciate the great service and food. We had fried fish, baked chicken, Mac and cheese, collards and potatoes. ALL AMAZING!!!!Thank you so much!

I had Mac and Cheese as a side which had NO seasoning. It was okay but I had better fish market food.

Food and services were great!!! Shrimp cooked nice and tender and the staff were very friendly

Definitely the best! Every time I come here they do not disappoint. Friendly, fast and quality service. Come here and support this business
