I'm giving this place 4 mainly because we were totally surprised, in a really good way. We'd been here several years ago and it was just meh...nothing special. We drove by last year and it looked closed down. Being on the Northern Neck, there's only a hand full of decent restaurants. We thought we'd give Leadbelly's at the Fairport Marina another look-see because we heard it WAS open. Glad we did! Nothing fancy. Nothing. It's a Marina. You can smell the sea lingering from the work boats docked there. There's outdoor screened porch seating, but it was closed \due to extreme heat\. The waitresses wear t-shirts advertising the restaurant...and they wear flip-flops...probably against code, but what the heck. There were 4 of us. I ordered the fried oyster appetizer (12) with a side of fried cabbage (2.25) My dinner mates each ordered the oyster platter for 20 which came with 2 sides and \big butt rolls\. Now...we've been going to another place where the oysters are tasty, but the portions have shrunk over time. When our friendly waitress (who grew up on the water and didn't eat seafood) brought our meals, I was pleasantly surprised at the huge mound of oysters. They had just the right amount of breading and the fried cabbage was delicious, cooked just right. I forgot to count how many oysters I had, but I know this: I got a big mess (a whole lot) of plump fried oysters for not a lot of money. My buddies had more on their plates than I had for the appetizer portion and they couldn't finish...they toted the remains home. If you are in the area of Fairport on the Northern Neck of Virgina, definitely give this place a try. Down home, local hangout is worth the trip!
Quick service, excellent food, inexpensive price - what's not to love?!?
Annoying. We drove down the peninsula to eat dinner there & found its hours were 11-3 just a few days per week. Please post changes of hours.
Stopped for lunch when going to Reedsville. What a pleasant surprise! The most delicious seafood (soft crab sandwich and crabcake) and fabulous coleslaw. Wish we didn't live 2.5 hours away. We would be regulars.
