Crab Creek Seafood Restaurant

Beyond its unpretentious decor and unassuming exterior, Crab Creek Seafood serves up a slew of fresh seafood specialties that garnered a silver medal in The Burgs' 2013 Best of the New River Valley feature. Cooks toss Diablo shrimp in a vodka-tomato-cream sauce and mix Caribbean shrimp with andouille sausage, salsa, and spices. Diners can dig into housemade crab cakes or enjoy fresh catfish, tilapia, or salmon served pan-fried, broiled, blackened, or grilled. According to the Roanoke Times, a fireplace warms guests as the waitstaff bustles about, "brimming with friendly service."
