50 Best Seafood Restaurants near New Carrollton

“The food was amazing and our server she was the best, excellent customer service. We will return“

“The food is fantastic but I did think the calamari was fried to hard so Im good on that. But when getting a dinner all the sides that I had was definitely working. And the definitely made sure that you get your money's worth or maybe it was my smile 😃. Bump that it was my smile so don't get mad is your plate doesn't look like mine. Im not a local and this was my second time. So when I'm in town this is one of my favorite spots. Also I did have take out and you can see my food in the photos.“

“Definitively acceptable! But probably no more than that.

For a seafood restaurant I was expecting a little more .... seafood options - there is essentially 1 dish from each seafood genre, and the oyster selection is woeful and shockingly expensive given you cannot select variety or provenance of the oysters.

Had the crab cake sandwich, and it was alright. For $40 I'd have appreciated a house made bun but I guess Kings Hawaiian is okay too lol“

“Took the family out last night had a great time good drinks and staff very nice … surprise they do line dancing on Wednesdays!“

“We loved having dinner so much on Friday night that we had lunch on Saturday! Lobster roll was delicious. Great selection of raw oysters. PEI mussels were the best! Service was on point. Friday night Ashley was great and sorry I didn’t get our great servers name on Saturday. Manager Ronald Vasquez was so personable and made us feel like regulars. Wish we lived a bit closer because we would be. Highly recommend!“

“Yesterday was my first time there, myself and a party of five. One member of our party arrived and had the table reserve the wait was 30 minutes, took that long for the rest of us to arrive; when we did we were seated rather fast. The crab bomb stole the show, best any of us ever had. Second runner up the crab soup also the baked potatoe was well portioned and was not dried out. The haddock was fried to perfection, and the cake dessert oh my, I ordered dessert to go, When I later dugged into the lemon pound cake each morsel was delicious, as if it was home made. Over all an excellent dining experience, a little pricey but was worth every single dime, we will return.“

“Food was delicious and the sauce off the hook“

“Friendly staff and delish food! Sitting on the rooftop was excellent too !“

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My friend and I arrived for brunch earlier today, and our experience was outstanding! We both enjoyed our meals tremendously. The serving size was such that we both had enough left over for the next day. Our servers, Jamari and Jamaal were top notch. They provided us with a balance of dedicated service without being overbearing. I definitely plan a return visit. Hopefully, I'll get the same servers, although from what I observed, all of the servers were excellent!“

“Great Drinks Good Lobster Tails stuffed with Blue Crab Great Asparagus Excellent Baked Alaska Excellent Service“

“My friends and I went to Motorkat today after attending a play in Olney. Mikey was our server and was a stellar server. He was friendly yet professional. We came in with an appetite. We started with the smoked salmon and artichoke dip. The portion size was nice, and the chunky texture and flavor fit well with the Saltines. Next was the pistou salad, roasted sunchokes and the pork belly with creamy grits. The pistou salad was artfully plated and was soo good. The roasted sunchokes came with a miso ranch dressing and sesame seeds. It was so good and the mixed textures worked well. The pork belly sat on a bed of the creamiest grits I've ever had. The pork belly was tender, and the smoky tomatoes were a great paring and provided just enough acidity to cut through the richness of the dish. Still hungry, we ordered the flank cut short ribs and broccolini. The grilled broccoli were lighly tossed with chili garlic sauce, peanuts and basil. Divine. The flank cut ribs were Cumin scented and accented with a tart cucumber salad. They were fork tender and very flavorful. Our only disappointment was the scallion Pancake with pickled vegetables. We felt that overall then presentation was nice, but the Pancake was a bit thick and was a bit charred on the bottom. The pickled vegetables overpowered the pancake.. Out meal ended with mango sorbet. Overall, we loved the service Mikey provided, and all the staff was gracious. I highly recommend this spot for dinner. Thank you!“

“The food is amazingly fresh and delicious.“

“The food was phenomenal. It is a great atmosphere and the customer service was outstanding! I’d recommend trying all the different type of oysters on the menu!“

“Visiting from St Louis and so glad we came across Luke’s Lobster! We ordered Luke’s flight so we could try all three rolls. Each one was so delicious. We also got the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder. Very good!! Friendly service and neat atmosphere.“

“Great meal recently at Cucina Morini !!! The food, service and drinks were all on point !! See the photos for our recommendations !!! You can order half orders of pasta !! Perfect if you want to try different things.“

“Delicious, messy in a good way, vest Mango Margs, its a vibe and our server Chad is sincerely next level 10/10!“

“Delicious! Loved the lobster roll!!“

“I love the shrimp basket with the Cajun fries🥰“

“Brandon is very nice and the food was very good??“

“My husband really wanted some fish so we tried this place. The fish is fresh they clean and cook it. Order ahead because the lines are long and so is the wait. He said the fish was ok but needed more seasoning. The fries were great!

Parking: It was crowded and parking was slim I found a parking space right in front but people were pulling up in the street and parking next to parked cars and picking up their food. It could cause a problem especially doing rush hour.“

“Great food in a fun location“

“Great variety’s of good food! Great drinks“

“Shoutout to Lala and Marc at Hook & Reel for making my visit such a great one! They both had amazing energy and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Service was quick, they stayed on top of everything, and made sure we had everything we needed without even having to ask. You can tell they really care about their customers. Definitely one of the best service experiences I’ve had—highly recommend!“

I ordered honey bbq wings as well I give them a 7 . We dined in and the atmosphere was great lots of tables. Police/security on site was a PLUS!“

“Mid-Atlantic Seafood has become my absolute favorite spot whenever I’m craving delicious, mouthwatering seafood. The moment you walk in, you already know you're about to be treated right. The food is always cooked to perfection — tender, flavorful, and just the right balance of crunch and softness. One the pricey side but the portion sizes are definitely worth it.

My personal favorites are the stuffed tilapia, stuffed shrimp, and the catfish — each bite feels like comfort and quality wrapped into one. The sides are just as amazing: the teriyaki green beans and stir-fried squash are the kind of sides that make you look forward to the next visit before you’ve even finished your plate.

The drinks are mixed just right — flavorful with the perfect amount of strength — and don’t get me started on the desserts. Their cakes and pies are heavenly, perfectly sweet and full of flavor without being overwhelming.

Everything here feels homemade with care, and you can taste the quality in every single dish. If you’re looking for consistently great seafood with satisfying portions and memorable flavor, look no further — Mid-Atlantic Seafood is the place to be!“

“This is a gem on the D.C and Maryland line. It’s worth the drive or delivery. The staff is amazing. Majority of the time the food is 10/10. Breakfast, happy hour, and dinner is worth it. Smoothies, salads, you name it. The seafood is fresh and delicious too. I’ve been a regular for years.“

“I have been coming here for years. The food is great.“

“I can not believe this place. So first it has an indoor and outdoor place to order. The customer service was amazing. I was greeted and helped as soon as I walked in because they're were several people taking orders. Not only that but the Crabs were done already. I've never seen that before. It was like all she had to do was put them in a bag. They were still warm 15 minutes later when I was able to eat them. They were so so good too. I paid $20 for 1 dozen and I swear there were like 16 in the bag. This was super convenient as I was delivering a truck to Giant and could eat on My Lunch break.“

“Food is delicious especially the crab egg rolls. Fish & Seafood is fresh. Prices are good. Staff is friendly. Music is on point.“

“Friendly and attentive staff! Had a few questions about some menu items and my waitress Lucy was quick to answer and give me some amazing suggestions. I ended up going with the sizzling bulgolgi. Was extremely delicious!! Will be coming back, thanks so much!“

“Nice new place to meet. Bonus points for walking distant to the Capitol. The eggs were absolutely amazingly delicious - cannot be over praised.“

“había ido antes a comer y no me gustó, pero ahora ya cambio totalmente la comida está bien preparada y muy bien servida el restaurante está más agradable y el servicio también, muchas felicidades!“

“My meal was awesome as always.“

“I LOVE GOING TO THIS LOCATION. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWESOME. THEY KNOW THEIR REGULAR CUSTOMERS BY NAME. CRABS ARE ALWAYS MEATY AND GOOD. THEIR PLATTERS ARE GOOD TOO. THEY HAVE NEVER DISAPPOINTED ME. I GOT XL MALES AND THEY WERE HEAVY AND MEATY!“

“Still a great place after all these years. Lovely atmosphere, great food, attentive service. A wonderful night out.“

“Everything was really good, we got wings and red snapper (I ordered catfish but didn’t understand me) the wings were fresh and crispy, I got lemon pepper wet and the fried rice was great. There’s a bit of a language barrier, they mostly speak Spanish, but other than that 10/10“

“My homegirl and I came to JC Crab house after work craving crabs on this this nice warm day. We got here around 6pm the place was empty and quiet just for us. We got the shrimp basket and a dozen male crabs…it was delicious! I washed it down with some Riesling wine, I will be be back when the weather breaks :)“

“Great customer service! I sent a FB message last night asking about getting crabs for today. They responded this morning apologizing that they did not have crabs because the season was winding down. A short time later they sent me a second message that they would be getting a couple bushels later in the afternoon and asked if I would still like to place an order. I really appreciated their reaching back out, it made my Dad’s Birthday.“

“Returning to Washington from a France worn down by its own melancholy — a nation led by a presidential couple seemingly disconnected from l'esprit de grandeur — was a relief. The Monocle, nestled just a short pas de géant from Capitol Hill, felt like an antidote. Walking through its doors, I immediately felt transported, like one of the CIA operatives from Lioness Psy-Ops, covertly meeting allies in a safe haven of quiet luxury. Opened in October 1960 by Connie and Helen Valanos, The Monocle has seen more political deals sealed over its crab cakes than perhaps in the chambers of Congress themselves. As the Washingtonian noted, “The Monocle is a better restaurant than it’s given credit for,” serving dishes like “pan-fried Chesapeake Bay oysters baked in a light curry sauce” that feel like culinary diplomacy at its finest. What strikes one immediately is the duality of the space: half public house, half refined eatery. In the restaurant's more elegant quarters, I chose a glass of Sancerre, its mineral brightness pairing effortlessly with the signature crab cakes — plump, golden, and loaded with chair de crabe so sweet it could make a New Englander weep. A red wine-braised New York strip followed, its sauce reminiscent of the old-world simplicity one finds in France’s brasseries, yet undeniably American in its confident presentation. The maître d’, Nick Selimos — a fixture here for nearly three decades — greeted every guest with the kind of warmth that makes even the most hardened lobbyist feel comme chez soi. “There’s nothing more satisfying,” said John Valanos, the owner, “than having someone say, ‘We’ll come back ourselves.’” And come back they do — senators, staffers, and curious tourists alike. Sipping a digestif, I glanced at the black-and-white photos adorning the walls — Kennedy, Nixon, and other Washington titans. It’s said JFK dined here regularly during his Senate days. As The Washington Post humorously observed, "Intentions are spoken here, alliances formed, and deals sealed," all over dishes that balance simplicity and sophistication. Leaving The Monocle, I felt reconnected to the vibrancy of Washington, its pulse steadied by the legacy of places like this — where history, gastronomy, and a touch of joie de vivre blend into something unforgettable.“

“Milk & Honey really impressed me today!
From the front staff to the cook, everyone was pleasant and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely love what they do—nothing but smiles all around.

I placed my order online, and unfortunately one item didn’t show up on their end. Even so, they took the time to try figure out the confusion and made sure I received my missing item without any issues.

Customer service like this is hard to find these days. Location was clean and the ambience was everything.
Everyone was kind, patient, and professional.
I’ll definitely be back!

Thank you,
From CT“

“This downtown Washington location at Archives-Navy Memorial Metro is terrific for a business lunch with outdoor casual seating which might appeal to visitors seeking a more upscale meal in the shadow of the Capitol and the historic splendor of lower Pennsylvania Avenue. The Capital Grille, in our estimation, is remarkably consistent wherever in the country you choose to visit. We have been dining with this chain for 20+ years, but first visit to this location. Top notch for food, service and ambience.“

“Drove almost 2 hours to try this place out after seeing a reel on Facebook about the crab cheesesteak and no disappointments there! Absolutely delicious!“

“Hen Quarter Prime was AMAZING! And our server Regina made it even more AMAZING!!!!! This was the first experience for my wife and I and we will be back ! Regina was very attentive, responsive, and personable. She made a 10/10 experience 100/10 and I will definitely be back to Hen Quarter Prime because“

“This is one of my favorite places to go’ I am addicted to their fried oysters’ shrimps & crabs yummy yum yum yummy SoOOoOOo delicious I must say…! In spite of the location never judge a book by its cover’ so by the way they do have new owners…! Please keep up the great work.“

“Attended a family birthday dinner last night 11/5, and the food was very good and excellently prepared. Healthy portions. As a cook, I would feel very comfortable recommending Huncho House for a uniquely special dining experience. Kudos to the chiefs!“
