Metompkin Seafood

had the crab cake sandwich and it was good but I'm having a little bit of a hard time separating the food from the fact hat the place is... ummm... how should I say this... a total rat hole. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a shack/hole in the wall with the best of 'em. But what I'm not into is eating amongst flies because they can't get a good trash situation down. I also don't love, though being undercover, constantly being dripped on by a/c fluids? I don't know what it was and don't want too. lastly, when we asked for sweet tea, the response was that they had snapple in the fridge... WHAT?! isn't Virginia still considered part of the south? ... no sweet tea?!!! Not completely sorry I ate here but kind of wish I hadn't.

Oh yummmm. Soft crabs, hush puppies, cole slaw, fried oysters. Cooked to order. Sit outside at a picnic table. Mmmmmm

Looking for a quick lunch during my drive down to Norfolk, I stopped at Metompkin Seafood, conveniently located right on US 13.  Metompkin Seafood is a small, family owned fish and seafood market, but they also sell various seafood platters and seafood sandwiches for lunches and dinners.  Since I wanted something quickly, I ordered a crab cake sandwich.  While the sandwich was tasty, I felt that the portion size was a little small.  I was able to enjoy my meal at one of the picnic tables outside (there really isn't anywhere to dine inside).
