Quarterdeck

Food was lack luster , flavors not nice and not good.

Excellent, except for Old Bay on everything, so that was a little much. Still very good, great service, very nice local place.

Update: It's been a few years since we've been here, and we were so thrilled to go back! The place still holds up after time with amazing food (Lobster rolls are best in the DC region!!!) and atmosphere. This place takes me back to my summers growing up in New England and trips to Maine. It's as if someone picked up a seafood shack in Maine and dropped it in VA! Awesome food and staff...nice atmosphere with music and sports on the TVs.. the crab cakes and lobster rolls will keep bringing us back! Reservations for more than 2 people are strongly recommended.

If you like crab. Get here. The guy we had was amazing. Showed us what to do - you get fresh crabs on your table covered in these spices from heaven and then you barbarically tear them apart. The guy we had - skinnier white dude. I wish I knew his name. He took all the guess work out and showed us exactly how to get the most meat AND brought us a live one!! Very cool experience.

Loved it, everything about it! Food, staff, the chill environment. We are from NY and will be back when we are in the area!!! So much fun.

Get the crabs. They're amazing. Ours came still steaming, and they give you all the tools you need to get into them enjoy them, we got the half dozen regular and with a salad and coleslaw they were a wonderful lunch. The boiling spice is salty and spicy and so good. And being from a Chinese background having apple cider vinegar on the table was a treat. Dipping the meat in the vinegar was how we used to eat blue crabs when I was a kid.

What an establishment! Such good food and service. I recommend the peel and eat shrimp (hot) and the hush puppies. Obviously can’t miss with the crabs! Cat as our server, 10/10! Can’t wait to go back when I’m in town.
