Crabmeat from Indonesia! Fish fresh from the freezer! The owner interrupting the hostess from talking to the guests. As much hospitality as a torture chamber. If you like to pay for abuse, give it a try. As for me, I'll never be back.

This was my second visit to Surf Rider. Loved my seafood platter in February 2013 and stopped in Hampton just so I could eat here again. This time my husband was with me and he is ready to move to Hampton so he can eat here all the time. He had the seafood platter and I had fried oyster platter....

We really enjoy good, fresh seafood & you can always count on good & fresh here! Had the broiled platter & the crab cake & shrimp. Very good hush puppies too. On this particular visit, we were unlock enough to get a server that didn't pay attention to us at all. I asked 3 times to get a refill on...

The food arrived fast and was quite tasty.When I have to beg for a beverage refill multiple times and still not receive it. Well it left a bad taste in my mouth. I...

This restaurant is located in a marina so the views are of the beautiful Hampton coast, yachts, and rippling water - unbeatable. They had menu options that would fit any budget, from soups, salads, sandwiches to full seafood meals. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was laid back, casual and relaxing. We had to wait for about a half...

Wonderful place to meet for lunch or dinner: couples, business, friends or family gatherings. Such good seafood, very fresh; great scenery and pleasant service. Be prepared some nights (especially popular nights with good weather) to wait, I don't think they take reservations. It is worth any wait though. Enjoy.
We LOVE Surf Rider Bluewater! These people focus on seafood and making GREAT seafood and it shows. There is something to be said about them having a wait. But it's worth waiting for! It's located in a beautiful marina. Every time I give someone directions I have to clarify and say keep going because you'll think your lost and then...

I was in Hampton for business and a colleague from the area mentioned Surf Rider, strangely enough going on about the broccoli side. I had excellent crab cakes (among the best), shrimp and the broccoli. I left full and very happy. I love boats and the marina was quiet and relaxing. I will go there if I am back in...

Been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the food, especially the soups, hush puppies, etc. Don't know what's up but the food has taken a dive in quality. Very different to my palate at least. Hope it was an off day because in the past it has been my familys go-to place.
