Always a great place for outstanding food. They even called to let us know our food was ready. Although the young guy that called asked if I was still coming. Uh yeah, if I already paid over a hundred dollars for food, I most certainly am coming. Oh, and me telling you I'm just down the street trying to get there just might be a dead giveaway that I'm on the way. I would have given 5 stars but the kid who called was annoying! Today (Sunday, September 26, 2021) is the last day they'll be open. They had to close their doors because Prince William County Officials Suck! Anyhow, I spoke to Tim and he was gracious and appreciative, as always. Try Tim's Rivershore II just about thirty minutes south. It's a much nicer location with actual parking. You'll be happy that you did!
The only reason this place is getting 5 stars is because of the hardworking staff. This team busts their butts to get everyone their food & drink and are deserving of a review simply for that.Food on the other hand, well honestly there's no that many options for food via boat so really can't be super picky. If you like seafood than you'll be sure to find something that you'll like and would probably have again. If you don't like seafood you should probably just get a burger or chicken tenders LOL. ?♀️ drinks are great and we always have a fun time here.
Sorry to see this go. Rode my Harley in and Tim came to ask how the ride was and see what c we needed. It has always been a good place to go. Good seafood. But, there are other locations that I hope do well.
Really icd placeOur first time there. Hope been there before. They will close it for en good.Great food (except the coleslaw)Live musicVery sad it will go ...
No plates for apps, wings were awful/bland, salad was drenched in dressing, clam chowder was more like clam milk and service was sub par. Clam dip was good! Very disappointing overall. Hoping it was just an “off” night.
This is one of the best places we found by accident! In March 2021 when we were seated, the hostess explained that it was their last day as they were closing down due to unresolved legal issues. We've returned four times since then! July 2021 they were still serving excellent food and drinks on the river! *Supposedly, they are closing for good...in September 2021. I'll update you in October.
Excellent Crab Cakes and Cod was perfect! Serves Red Stripe and Jake is wonderful!!!!!
They always have great food and drinks! I hope theyre able to find a new location so we can keep going back for years to come ❤❤❤
our waiter Chris was amazing and on top of his game. Thank you for the amazing service
great food, wonderful staff

This was my first time eating here. I agree with the reviews that gave it 5 stars. Everything was good. I disagree with reviews that said they didn't get enough food for their money. All of us took a to go box home. The food was plentiful and delicious. ? The staff is very friendly. Prices were good for a seafood restaurant. They are closing soon so hurry..
Great price for food... the crabs were great. We got a dozen large crabs and the special, which was a Cajun boil. The boil was underwhelming to say the least. Not well seasoned and pretty bland. The only part I liked about the boil was the large shrimp. The steamed crabs were great, just covered in old bay. We also got a side of hushpuppies that were good, but nothing special. Overall, the food was average, but good for the price.The location of this place is a bit bizarre... wedged between the train tracks and the water. The scenery and dock are nice. The train chugging by during dinner was meh. Luckily trains went by quickly.The service was average as well. They took a while to greet us and take our order. The food took wayyyyy too long to come out. Between the time we sat down and received our food, it had been a solid hour (I want to say food took over 45 mins to come out).All in all, I would try this place again. I'll take the food time as a write off since it was Father's day. Overall thoughts? Meh. Good-ish.
Had a great experience eating my first of the year blue crabs. Ordered a dozen large and they were tasty. Size was more medium than large from my Savannah Georgia crabmemories perspective. Crabs were also not heavy/full with lots of leg and body meat. Price points were pricey, but cheaper than the District, Arlington, and Falls Church like-kind establishments. Wait staff was efficient and checked in often. Madison Connection music was exceptional. On reflection, wish I had received a Baker,'s Dozen of crabs. Overall an enjoyable experience.
The place is dirty and dilapidated. The staff unfriendly considering not even packed at noon. food overcooked and overpriced. Its always nice to see the water though. It was good to come during the day because the roadway crossing the train tracks was uneven and gravel path to restaurant a bit tight. Disappointed. No need to come back.
Awesome experience, the waiter and the customer service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend my friends and and family to dine there.
