Positive: crab boil is very tasty with the combo butter sauce. And fairly priced for the two clusters. For this I would give a rating of 3.5/4 stars.
Negative: though the sauce is very flavorful and flattering, the crab legs didn't seem fresh. Additionally, the rest of the food that I've ordered here has not been good at all (crab cakes are basically fried batter and bell peppers. Fries are not seasoned, fish tastes stale... The list goes on). I figured since I like the crab legs that something else may taste equally as good, but so far, I have not found anything else here that I would ever try again. I was very very disappointed by the crab cakes... For this I would give a 2 star rating.
In total I would give this place a 2.5/3 stars. I would possibly go back just for the sauce that they put the crab legs in.🤤

Definitely do a take out. Hella people came through for takeout the 1.5 hours I was there. Only reason I spent so much was because I got the ultimate combo. It was good, but the sauce didn't go all the way to the bottom. They were quick and you know they've been doing this for a while.

The food was... just okay. I had a seafood platter, and I don't believe I will be returning. I'm a 757 Native visiting my family but live in Atlanta, so I've been craving good seafood. The fish was hard and I'm not sure how fresh it was if at all. The crabcake was a total waste... horrible and ended up in the trash. It tasted more like soft bread with a little seafood flavoring. The shrimp & calamari weren't too bad. You could actually tell it was calamari as it wasn't heavily breaded or fried too hard. The oysters were heavily breaded and not good. I've never had the seafood boils so I can't speak on that.

Some things are definitely better than others. The fried crabs are a no for me, they have no flavor. Though the crabs are extremely small the boil bag is delicious.

First off, the food here? PHENOMENAL. if you're ever out in Norfolk, you're obligated to eat at this place at least once (unless you have allergies) but I've had alot of seafood and this place takes the cake. Compare what you want to wat you know, taste; phenomenal, freshness; super fresh, the SAUCE; puts it all together nothing but good remarks for this establishment 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

This is the second time I've gotten female crabs and they have been black and rotten on the inside. Save your money. The 2 stars are for they claim boil. It's really good.

As a long time seafood lover, I was thoroughly pleased with the freshness, seasoning and quantity for value. The 1lb shrimp boil with garlic butter and Old Bay was so good! Probably the best I've tasted. The service was great, resturant was clean and the place stayed busy with customers while we dined in. They are also a seafood market so live crab and raw items are also available for purchase. We enjoyed the fried fish and shrimp platters, tenders, and steamed shrimp. They offer a diverse menu to also include Habachi style food with fried rice. Would definitely recommend Ocean Blue. Hope to return whenever we travel back to the area.

First time a mistake has been mad on my order. I ordered crab batter shrimp and got fried shrimp that were fried with shell on. Then there were cooked onions in it. It was gross. This restaurant is my favorite, from now on I'll check my order before I leave
