Awful Arthur's Seafood Description:
Mercifully, Awful Arthur's doesn't live up to its self-effacing name; it's clawed its way up when it comes to crowd-pleasing seafood eateries around Virginia. Like its mates in Roanoke, Salem and Blacksburg, this spot, done up in a whitewashed breeziness that makes you feel like you've kicked back on a palm-fringed vacation, prides itself on its raw bar. You can't miss the offerings of oysters, little neck clams, mussels, crawfish, shrimp and snow crab legs, straight up or in combo platters; upon slurping down, avail yourself of the paper towel rolls on each table. Service is as casual as the décor, the kind where your jeans-clad waitress sits down at your booth to answer questions, but it's right on point. Landlubbers, be they "buoys" or "gulls" (as designated on the restroom doors) can find rib-eyes, stuffed chicken or burgers.
