Do you carry fresh clam strips for frying?

I've seen clams in jars within the refrigerator.

is this an eat in restaurant?

A couple of casual tables. Great service, but foods even better!!

Is there an area to sit down and eat crabs there?

There is a four-top table, but that's it. Most people get seafood to go, so the table is almost always open when we go.

How much are crabs by the dozen?

Market price changes. I believe they only carry the best available. You can call or check their FB page.

How are their snow crab legs?

Outstanding, sweet, perfectly cooked (or you can take em home, and do it yourself...but WHY?)

Outstanding seafood! We came in on Tuesday for 3 lobsters and saw the tuna, so we came back for sandwiches today! He had the tuna steak with hand made onion rings and I had the fried flounder with potato shoe strings-- Delightful!! No wonder Uncle Russ keeps winning awards!!!

The seafood there was good and the service was not so good. It took a long time for our order to be ready and the young lady there was rude. My wife and I were nice and polite and we didn't complain much. Every time my wife tried to ask her something, she would roll her eyes at her. Didn't even apologize for the wait. Not much of a good experience for us!

A must stop if you are in the area. They have a great selection of fresh seafood, and will cook it up for you right there. And offer some friendly conversation while you wait. We enjoyed a small steam pot and pan seared shrimp and scallops. It was all amazing.

We planned to have a good ol' southern shrimp and crab boil for 6 people. The staff were very helpful with suggestions on how much and which fixins to make. They even volunteered to boil it for us and have it ready for pickup at our chosen time. We wanted it done for pickup at 5 pm, and were out the front door with our food at 4:59. We got home and noticed we forgot some of our order at the store. Called Russ up and he volunteered to deliver the rest of the order personally. He showed up 7 minutes later.Outstanding customer service, excellent prices, delicious food, and very friendly staff. Uncle Russ is my go to guy for seafood in the Williamsburg area from now on!

The employees/cooks were amazing. Unfortunately i did see a roach in the bathroom and that freaked me out. I truly liked the food and the younger employees, however I heard some of the OLDER MEN making some rude, racial stereotyping remarks which made me mad. That kind of behavior is disgusting and is the opposite of funny!! Spend your money at a business that value morals and basic decency.

Their customer service is off of the charts. I’ve been here three times now and they are always so friendly and helpful. The seafood selection is always on point, but as everyone who’s a customer knows, come early before any of the supplies run out.

We've been going to Russ's for years! They have historically had the best seafood in the area, plus the staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful. We usually buy a couple bushels of crabs each summer. However, the last time we went we bought scallops and tuna. The tuna was okay but the scallops smelled off...The flavor of ammonia filled my mouth after the first bite. I thought it might have been the way I cooked the first batch so I changed my method and once again they were inedible. Pretty devastating.
