22 Best Seafood Restaurants in Arlington

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“Had a fabulous birthday dinner with family last night. Oysters were delicious with a great hot sauce provided from the Bronx. Skate and Monkfish specials of the day were excellent. Monday night and there was not an empty table. Testament to the great food and wonderful servers.“

“Your beef steaks have a lot to be desired. Visiting from a state that grows a lot of beef your steaks are served just barely warm in the center with a slit sear on the outside. Unacceptable for a 40 dollar steak. I can't recommend your restaurant for a steak“

“Epic SmokeHouse – Arlington, VA Overall Rating: 8/10 Parking lot upgrades at the Pentagon brought G-FORCE to Arlington, but we didn’t expect to stumble upon BBQ royalty just a mile down the road at Epic SmokeHouse. Let’s just say… the name fits. We kicked things off with the App Sampler—and every bite hit like a flavor freight train. Smoked wings so tender they felt like they’d just left the hog pen—crispy skin, juicy interior, absolute perfection. Burnt ends? Melt-in-your-mouth with just enough sauce to whisper "I’m fancy" without screaming it. And the Kalua Pig Rolls… I still don’t know what’s in them, but I want to shake the chef’s hand (or hug him). Then came the showstopper: Brisket Poutine. Hand-cut fries crisped to golden excellence, smothered in rich brown butter gravy, melty cheese curds, and that sweet smoky brisket—topped with green onions and sesame seeds for that crunch-and-pop finale. This dish is dangerous… the kind of comfort food that makes you forget what day it is. The House Secret Burnt Mac rolled in hot in a mini skillet—smoky, cheesy, and just saucy enough to coat every bite without drowning it. Balanced, bold, and addicting. Don’t sleep on the Collard Greens either—just the right amount of flavor, a lil’ bit of spice but not too bold. A solid side that holds its own. Final Verdict: If you’re in Arlington for business, BBQ, or just breathing—get to Epic SmokeHouse. And if you're lucky, G-FORCE might’ve just made the parking lot a little smoother on your way in. #PaintAndPlateCrew #SupportLocal #EpicEats #BBQNearThePentagon #HIREAVET #GFORCEApproved #8OutOf10 #WINWITHVSB #PAINTCORPS“

“I had an early afternoon flight to catch yesterday at DCA. So I stopped in at Your establishment to have lunch. The moment I got there I was greeted by the most friendliest staff I’ve experienced in a long time. My server was a young lady by the name of Betty. She was very knowledgeable and very polite. I ordered the fish sandwich and Chowder. They were both great. I will recommend this place to my friends and associates .“

“Great service, good food, nice patio, bar & inside spaces“

“Orrie was friendly, attentive, and made excellent drinks. She created a welcoming vibe that made the night truly enjoyable. She’s a great bartender, and I definitely recommend Ocean Shack — the food is amazing, and you can’t ask for a better mix of sports and seafood!“

“Overall the food was good. My partner and I both ordered the Connecticut Roll. The bun was melt in your mouth good. Honestly the best warm buttery bun I've ever had. However the lobster it's was bland. No salt whatsoever. They need to invest in Old Bay and use it. Season your food. I thought the tater tots didn't have salt, but once I got to the bottom I seen the salt, but the tots were also bland and burnt. I'd go back, but please season the lobster with Old Bay 😫 and all salt to the tots.“

“This site is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I I need a good lunchon, this restaurant comes instantly to my mind. excellent and food and a rich cuisine.great staff members, and great spirit. And very important, the cost is honest. I sent my friends to this spot with pleasure.“

“Girls night out for the Signature Theatre in Shirlington. We had a Terrific mixture of dishes- Greek salads, lamb chops & moussaka. Pits bread was warm & the feta cheese authentic & nice portion. Loved the Greek wine ( first one listed) . I think this restaurant is the best on the block!“

“The owners were very nice. I had a discrepancy in that I didn’t know how many catfish came with the catfish dinner. The owners were so nice that they gave me extra because it was my first time and because it was a misunderstanding that I had of the menu. The customer service was superb. The sides were awesome. I got mac & cheese and yams. They were really good. Also, the fish was fried very well. Will definitely come again and recommend to friends. Also, they have really really good smelling oils by the way that they sell.“

“This is probably mine and the families favorite hot pot to go to in this area. The food is absolutely delicious, it’s nice that the vegetables are a buffet style where you can get them at your own pace. The quality is great and so is the service! If you’re into hot pot and in the area this place is an absolute must!!“

“It is a very good place, excellent food, the girl who served us 10/10, her attention was very good, the prices were fair. The only recommendation is the volume level of the music, it would be much better if a prudent volume is used to be able to talk and share with the people we have at our table. Thanks ?“

“All I can say is .... wonderful pho at this restaurant. Definitely reconmend!.“

“Fine food and exceptional service in a comfortable setting. The shrimp cocktail provided five of the largest shrimp I've ever seen; they were very tasty and mashed potatoes with lobster bisque and glazed Brussel sprouts were delicious-best ever; all entrees were decent portions and delicious, exactly as advertised. Sorry we were too full for dessert....we must go back!“
