IDK Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Virginia

If you're looking for a good seafood place with that kind of vibe, this ain't it. We went because of the good reviews and the pics of the food looking awesome... maybe we came on an off day, it happens. We got there at 3pm on a Sunday, Labor Day weekend. It wasn't busy at all, a few guys shooting pool. Our waitress was very nice and very sweet to our 5yr old daughter, even filling up her water bottle that we brought in with us. Her service was good and she was accommodating. We ordered bloody Mary's which were pretty basic and nothing special, the olives tasted weird. Neither of us finished our drinks. It was kind of weird because she brought out our fries and our child's meal (which also had fries) but there was no ketchup on our table, nor did she bring any with her. We ordered raw oysters that had 1 dip cup of a vinegarette wash, but no cocktail sauce or lemons. I ordered the platter with crab legs, shrimp, clams, potatoes, 2 corn on the cobs, and andoille sausage. It came with 3 small clams, the shrimp weren't overcooked but tasted like they were boiled in plain water with no seasonings. I dipped them in the cocktail sauce that came with my food just to give it some flavor, but the sauce was pretty bland for cocktail sauce. I'd say the best thing about the platter were the crab legs, they were cooked good where the meat all came out easily and they had good flavor, but no cracker to crack them open. The corn was flavorful. Would I come here again? Not to eat seafood. Maybe they make other items better, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back...

Great quality and reasonably priced! I wasn't able to get pictures, I will next time! We had a long day of moving and we were starving 🤭

Appetizers: Chicken Wings - great quality chicken, they were big and well cooked with a great amount of meat on them.

Mozza Sticks w/ homemade ranch - they were amazing. Stuffed with mozza, the breading was perfect and the ranch was awesome!

Avocado bites w/ homemade herb sauce - the herb sauce?? FUH-GEEET ABOOWT IIT! The avocado bites are deep fried and I have no idea how they fry it to keep the avocado nice - but it's a definite must try.

I got the seafood platter, and my only reason for 4 star is because the potato crispers were burnt. BUT! THEY DID BRING ME A FRESH BATCH THAT WAS AWESOME, SO DONT HOLD IT AGAINST THEM! The calamari, fried rockfish, shrimp and Mac n cheese was awesome! The tartar sauce was made for that fried fish. Ugghh pairs so well. And the cocktail sauce was really nice and I don't usually care for cocktail sauce.

My husband got the bacon and mushroom burger and he was very happy with it. Burger was cooked great and the flavor was nice. Fries were awesome too!

Another very honorable mention is the She Crab Soup. I LOVE THIS SOUP! IT IS SO AMAZING! I would honestly order that with some bread and the mozza sticks and be soooo happy.

Give this place a try, I doubt you'll be...

We had a table of 8 at 6 pm. Walked in and no one was in main dining area at all, not a staff member or a customer. We wandered around looking for someone. Went to the gaming section and they were seating back there. There were a total of two 4 tops, a 2 top and our table. It took an hour and 15 minutes for the food to even begin arriving. Some of it was cold. They were out of the cashew shrimp dinner entree so one of the 2 waitresses in the building asked if my dad wanted to substitute regular fried shrimp for the cashew shrimp and he agreed to do that. They ended up bringing him a plate of about 5 burnt up shrimp, no Cole slaw and no fries, as he was supposed to have had with the entree. We had guests with us from out of town, and we felt bad for this terrible dining experience. By that time, we were just done and ready to leave, so we just quickly ate, paid the...
