What Amy Botsford likes about Blue Ridge Seafood:
This is a well-known establishment in the heart of Gainesville. The food is excellent and fresh seafood is available. The crab legs I ordered were extremely hot and slightly open. I also recommend the steam spy shrimp and fried oysters. My favorite side dish is hush puppies. View all feedback. What Rosanne Penley doesn't like about Blue Ridge Seafood:
I had gone years ago and since their remodel , it wasn’t the same. As another reviewer said, never got the tarter sauce. We repeatedly asked for it! How do waitresses working at a fish restaurant forget such a staple item for the customers??!! My flounder was tasteless and room temp, my sister’s salmon was over cooked. The baked potato and coleslaw were good. But I didn’t go there for those!! Sad!! Frustrating meal... View all feedback.

read moreThe seafood restaurant in question seems to have a mix of positive and negative reviews. While some customers praised the friendly service and tasty dishes such as crab legs and hush puppies, others were disappointed with the quality of the food, portion sizes, and overall dining experience. Complaints ranged from lukewarm food, lack of flavor, and poor sanitary conditions with flies in the indoor dining area. Despite some positive comments about specific dishes like the crab cakes and soft shell crabs, the general consensus seems to be that there is room for improvement in terms of food quality, service, and cleanliness. It may be worth checking out for certain menu items, but there are also mixed opinions on whether the prices are justified given the overall dining experience.
