In Reedville on Virginia’s Northern Neck, where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Potomac, Leadbelly’s serves fresh local seafood and cold drinks in a working waterman town that was once one of the world’s most prosperous fishing ports. The menhaden industry that made Reedville wealthy is still visible in the Victorian mansions lining Main Street and the working boats in the harbor, and Leadbelly’s captures that genuine, unpolished fishing village character with consistently good seafood and a welcoming local bar.
