20 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.“

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

“Eddie was awesome. He was the host and sat me at someone’s table that was busy. I came back to front like, where are they and he immediately took care of it. Reseated me to his section and brought my order right out. Excellent service. My go to for lunch or dinner while I’m here. Food was delicious as usual too.“

“Food was great, server was cordial and attentive, atmosphere was very nice. One issue was that my food came out quite soon after I received my cocktail. I didn’t have the chance to sit and enjoy my drink. It was warm outside and the ice was melting. Pace the entre with the entire experience.“

“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“

“Food is fresh and hot. The Seafood here is amazing, but they do offer Non-Seafood items as well. The portion size is great. It’s worth the prices. Delicious.“

“We ate here on a Saturday afternoon and they were not busy. The building had a paid parking lot so it wasn’t too hard to find a slot. Ordering is quite easy (through a QR code) but you have to make sure an attendant is paying attention because we had a little hiccup with our orders but they came as soon as we reminded one of them. We ordered their bone broth and mushroom broth. DELICIOUS!!! The umami hit hard with the mushroom broth and it paired well with the bone broth. Meat selection was plenty as well as the other ingredients you want to go with your broth. It was a perfect place for a rainy weather. Will definitely go back💛“

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

“The menu instantly made me nostalgic—it felt like good, comforting soul food before I even ordered. This is a Black-owned, mom-and-pop restaurant, and from the moment I walked in, they were hospitable, personable, and welcoming.

I ordered the whiting dinner with mac and cheese and yams. The fish was fresh and flavorful, the yams were delicious, and the mac and cheese had the perfect balance of creamy and cheesy without being too heavy.

I will definitely be back, and I already know I’ll be picking up food during the holidays—especially that sweet potato pie!

Please support this wonderful small Black-owned business. Good food, good people, and the kind of place you want to see thrive.“

“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 ?“

“This restaurant is on the 11th floor and has an amazing view of the airport, river, and DC skyline. Service was exceptional. My only real complaint was I felt the steak needed more seasoning. I was disappointed especially with the price. Definitely recommend for special occasions.“

“Cool music on a Sat night!!!“

“Had a great experience here! Nice atmosphere and a great cocktail menu. The chef came and talked to us about their special cherry blossom festival themed deserts, which were delicious. Julio was our waiter and did a great job! Definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Steve and Vlada. Thank you! We arrived 7 minutes before they closed and you would think, by the way they treated me and my daughter that we had 3pm reservations. Steve was sooo gracious!!!! We had a late flight and wanted good food and service. The kitchen crew did what they needed to do. The herb chicken was perfection! Thank you! I recommend this place 100%.“
