Happy hour oysters
Shelby P.

To be honest Charles is the reason I'm giving it a 5! He was wonderful at the bar handling both making all of the drinks and making sure my friend and I were given great service as we enjoyed the happy hour deals. The $1 oysters were way better than I was expecting. Huge portions for the fried items on the happy hour special. Also the bread the give with their charbroiled oysters is truly Vietnamese quality. Absolutely delicious with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Their lychee mocktail is a must try if you're there.

Happy Hour Menu
Evangeline E.

Phenomenal food the only reason I took away a star is for the following: - We had a reservation for 5:45pm and arrived a few minutes before our reservation time. It took us 10 mins to get seated and we were stressed about missing Happy Hour which ends at 6pm. Thankfully we just ordered the moment we sat down but I don't expect that much of a wait when we have a reservation - We came in for my husband's birthday and the server even asked what we were celebrating. I said it's his birthday, plus I put birthday under the reservation and they never came out with any dessert and candle to make the birthday celebrant feel special. We were not even asked if we wanted to order dessert. I think the server forgot but given the longer turn around to get our check we awkwardly waited there thinking something was coming that never did. Bummer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, love the vibes in here music is great people are nice always a good time! Must come here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Lemon pepper boil
Shay S.

We were in town for a few days and decided to try this restaurant. After driving from Alexandria Virginia we were confused on the parking but luckily we found parking right at the entrance after circling around a few times. Upon entering we were greeted immediately and sat at a small table near the rear of the restaurant. Our waiter came by and explained the menu and took our drink order. When he returned with our drinks we placed our food order. I ordered the crab cakes dinner and my boyfriend ordered the lemon pepper crab boil. When the food arrived everything was looking good and presentation was A1! Me and my boyfriend enjoyed every bite. There was so much food we ended up taking to go boxes. Everything was excellent! When I am on the east Coast again I will definitely come back to Chasing Tails!.

Charbroiled Oysters
Kiana M.

Well, it wasn't as good as I expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice. It was a bit crowded in regards to space and the amount of table. It was a little uncomfortable because it was very tight where we were sitting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, it seemed as though everyone was a having a great time. The service was impeccable. As soon as we walked in we were greeting by the friendly hostess who showed us to our table. Then shortly after our waiter came. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He kindly explained the menu as it was our first time at that restaurant and he gave us some time to decide on our entree. He had great recommendations for food and drinks. The food was good. I unfortunately was not blown away by what I chose. I originally wanted the classic all you can eat seafood however, everyone at the table has to order that so that was a no go. So I ordered the grilled salmon with white rice and broccoli. I felt as though the portions were extremely small. However, the salmon was flavorful. My friend ordered one of the seafood bowls she also was disappointed by the serving size. Overall, it was a good experience. If you are in the area check it out and see what you think. Cheers!

So much food from the Pocket Pair!
Kimberly N.

What a delicious dinner we had yesterday! The "POCKET PAIR" meal we got was supposed to serves for 2 people, but we could use another person to help us eat the rest of the food we left in the pot. Snow Crab (2 clusters), Shrimp (1 lb), Andouille Sausage (¼ lb), Garlic Noodles, Corn on the cob, and Potatoes were in this pot. I liked the garlic noodles a lot. It's actually their in-house specialty, and went very well with the seafood items. The spices they used for it bought out the savory taste to the dish. What I enjoyed the most was the combined Cajun-garlic sauce that was used to cook the seafood. Because of the blended sauce, the entire boil was brought to new height of flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of sitting outside and listening to the traffic wasn't too bad and not too loud either. We were able to have nice conversations and enjoyed the fine weather here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are looking for a place to eat seafood boils, don't walk! Instead, run to Chasin' Tails and let their food take you away from Northern VA and down to Southern of LA.

Oh My... the noodles alone made this meal the talk of the night !!! ( compliments to the chef !!! )

""The Chase Is On !!" I honestly had no clue of what to expect... was this just another seafood boil spot or something different ? Well... Chasin'Tails is on another level altogether !!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is bubbly, and alive with activity.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is friendly, attentive and always ready to assist. I started my meal with a dozen local raw oysters... and what a way to kick things off !! They were fresh, meaty with just the right hint of saltiness. And for my entree I tried the Lobster garlic noodles... and this delight sent my taste buds into the stratosphere. The noodles were perfectly seasoned, while the lobster tail was juicy as if they handpicked it out of the ocean that very moment !!! Now the finale captured my heart from the very first folk full.... The fried cheesecake took my breath away and still has me savoring the taste to this very second. I encourage any and everyone who enjoys cheesecake to try this delicious treat out whenever you have the opportunity to stop by Chasin'Tails... I promise you won't be disappointed !!!!

FRESH GARLIC NOODLES Choose your Extras
Briana G.

I prepaid for the Classic All-You-Can-Eat dining experience, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. Making reservations through OpenTable was quick and easy. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out surprisingly fast. Portions were generous, so I would recommend ordering just one or two entrée options along with a couple of sides for the first round. Everything is shareable, and it's easy to over-order. Another nice perk is that fountain drinks, lemonade, and tea are included with the all-you-can-eat experience. Parking is also validated by the restaurant--just be sure to have your license plate number handy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great and felt like an elevated take on the traditional all-you-can-eat seafood boil experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even the details, like providing black dining gloves, added to the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this place. I'll be back to try the Premium menu next time!

Three-Of-A-Kind Royal Feast
Jasmine B.

Visited Chasin' Tails for a birthday celebration. We ordered the Three-Of-A-Kind Royal Feast. It came with snow crab, shrimp, green lipped mussels, corn, and potatoes. We substituted the garlic noodles for rice and got everything in their signature "Oh Dang!" sauce. The sauce was definitely the highlight for us. It was rich, flavorful, and perfect with the seafood. Everything tasted really good and our favorite items were probably the mussels and the corn since they soaked up so much flavor from the sauce. The only downside was that our andouille sausage was missing from the order. I didn't realize it until midway through the meal because I assumed it was sitting at the bottom of the pot. I didn't end up mentioning it because I didn't feel the need to complain. Also, it was plenty of food for two people. The food itself was yummy but it is definitely on the expensive side. I'm not sure it's somewhere I would visit casually but would consider coming back for another special occasion.

Hamachi Crudo
Rebia B.

Came for happy hour Oysters and they were the of the show! The charbroiled Oysters were amazing!! The berry mocktail was also a surprising favorite. The bartender was really funny and kept us enjoying the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was elevated and funky so definitely will be back for the happy hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was my first time so I could see if the food was worth the high priced menu. The Hamachi crudo sauce was not the best, needed some acid and less gel consistency. Other than that was a great experience.

LaTiesha A.

Seen this place on Instagram and saw multiple reviews and the all you can eat seafood! It was my boyfriend's birthday and we went to celebrate. The all you can eat is pretty cool. Expensive but very cool so you can choose to get all you can eat and of course they come with different stipulations of course. Or you can do a la carte so first we looked at the all you can eat the way they explained to us. He was very nice. Then we were looking at all the things for a la carte but by time you add that up. You might as well get the all you can eat seafood. There were three different tiers, If one person gets all you can eat seafood, everybody has to get it . I wanted to get the first tier but BF wanted the second tier So of course we had to get the second tier. The restaurant was really nice Love the atmosphere and the whole theme of the restaurant has going on.

Young Hwa K.

Always a good time here at chasin tails. We love seafood boil and their sides/apps are also very delicious! Oysters were not watered down at all or fishy. Lamb, salmon, sweet crispy shrimp was so good but I had to stop myself from getting too full off of them so I could also enjoy the seafood boil. Service was friendly and there was no judgement with how much we ordered LOL.

Sabrina G.

This was our first time here, and we had a great experience. Our server, Wasi (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly), was an absolute pleasure--attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcomed. We started with the oysters--OMG, amazing! We also ordered a side of eggs with the sauce on the side, and that was a 10/10. Then we got the "Whole Dang Thang," which came with fried shrimp, gator, fish, calamari, and fries--solid 9/10. The garlic noodles were a 7.5/10, and the Brussels sprouts were an 8.5/10. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great--we loved the views and the music they were playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was also very attentive about clearing the table, which we appreciated. To top it off, they surprised my wife with a birthday treat and a beautiful card, which was such a thoughtful touch. We'll definitely be back!

Hamachi crudo
Ashley B.

I had a great experience here for my mom's birthday. She got complimentary beignets and they were delicious! It is a bit pricey here but I definitely think the portion sizes make it worth it. It's a great place to celebrate somewhere and be able to try lots of things to share. We also got (not pictured) the "whole dang thang", crawfish boil, crab cakes, and the scallop citrus salad. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the salad was pretty good too. The crawfish boil definitely satisfied my craving of Cajun food. I also appreciated they have a good variety of mocktails. We did have to wait a bit after being seated to place our order but our server was busy with another large table. Besides that, he was very attentive. Note: 20% gratuity is included but I didn't have an issue with it. Also they validate parking.

Chasin' Tails: Seafood that Celebrates! Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Chasin' Tails: Seafood that Celebrates!

Do you use deveined shrimp?

We have EZ Peel shrimp that's deveined!

Do they have gluten-free/gluten-sensitive options?

As long as it's a personal decision to be gluten free; they can help you with it. However, if you're celiac, I'd say not the best option since they aren't a gluten free environment.

Is there a freebie on birthdays?

I believe they used to do beignets - don't know as of recent. About 5-6 pieces.

Is there a parking lot for this location? I attempted to go the the Arlington va location, and was unable to find any parking on the street on in a garage.

Yes plenty of free parking.

Do they have menu option for kids?

There isn't an actual kids menu but they have "kid friendly" options which have the option to be served in half portions at half priced. This includes shrimp, chicken fingers and I believe crawfish.

Do they have seafood gumbo?

Yes we do!

Something is very off with the (lack of) protein quality at the Falls Church location. The head-on shrimp were smallish - some were 21-25 count, some were 26-30 count, and all had an off-putting *green* poop line. The clams were inedible and tiny. Half of the clams were missing from their shells. They shouldn't be sold. When I showed the poor quality of the clams to the server, they offered a 20% discount - clearly they don't get it. What keeps me loyal to the brand is their signature Hot N Juicy Special sauce (mod: extra garlic). No other Viet Cajun (even in Houston or wherever) comes close to the depth and complexity of the Hot N Juicy Special sauce. For now, the winning move is to order a some sausage in a cup with Hot N Juicy Special medium sauce w/extra garlic TO GO, and sautée it with a bag of defrosted Costco head-on 16-20 count shrimp, or a few dozen live Cherrystone clams from HMart. There is so much potential here. The sauce is boss. Solve your protein problem!

Only downside is the owners are Gators I think so there's no FSU stuff in the entire place! I always enjoy coming here and having a tasty beverage or two on the patio and listening to some live music while enjoying some grilled shrimp tacos. I've had other items and enjoyed but the grilled shrimp tacos are my go to here. Food and drinks are just as good in the winter but it's not quite Florida weather so I'm eating inside when it's too cold for flip flops. The margaritas are always enjoyable as is everything else I've ever had to drink. The grilled shrimp tacos are also always just right and they bring the shells and tortillas separately so you can fill the shells yourself make them just how you want them. I usually choose corn tortillas and black beans but they also offer flour tortillas and refried beans as options. Service is always fast and friendly here, even when they're crowded on a weekend. This place is a must try if you're a Floridian in exile or just want to enjoy the beach bar experience in Falls Church.

Do not come expecting a solid seafood dinner. We came here after a nearby event. There was live music in the very sizable back lot area. People were actually up and dancing and having a great time. The vibes were stellar. I don't know if I would be into tbis place in the winter if I had to eat inside because the inside is kind of dingey, but outside in the summer is pretty paradisiacal. I did notice that they were doing karaoke in a weird little side room and it did not seem crowded on a Saturday night so that might be worth checking out. Servers were also all super nice. Pretty sure we entered the wrong way and kind of just let ourselves in through the back lot area and then we had no idea where to go to find a host(ess). So we asked the first server we could find where to go and she went "oh I can seat you" and grabbed two menus. Excellent. She also gave us our choice of wherever. The place is huge. Our assigned server was also nice and really knew the menu, which is not small. The menu had a ton of options including some really interesting tofu options and I had a hard time picking so I got excited. Also very customizable where you can choose your preparation. The beer list was not exactly artisinal...a lot of like...michelob ultra. And they had those island slushy kind of drinks. So at first I was like...this is my new weekend hangout. Then our drinks came. They were small and in little plastic cups. Wuhoh. Then our food came. I should have known it wouldn't be fresh. The price wasa little *too* good. When I asked about the catch of the day it was like four different things. I ended up with a buffalo grouper sandwich (grouper was one of the four things). I have had a fresh buffalo grouper sandwich in Clearwater before and that was in 2019 and I still remember it 7 years later. This buffalo grouper sandwich? Oh no. First of all it was this thin, flat battered fried cutlet thing. The breading absorbed the buffalo sauce so I couldn't taste it very much though they did bring me a lot of Bleu cheese dressing. The fish was bad. I bit into it and it tasted fishy and it was dry. Honestly if I hadn't been super hungry I would have just not eaten it. On top of that, I paid an extra dollar to upgrade from fries to hushpuppies. These were legit hushpuppies, but hushpuppies are small and how many did they bring me? 5. Are you kidding? Again, in Florida these are brought free by the basket. They're literally just fried up balls of corn meal. I think that may have offended me more than the bad fish. My husband went witb BBQ pulled chicken and fries and said both were good. So. Here are my thoughts. Would I come here again in the summer for fun vibes and good service? Yes. Would I set low expectations for my food and drink? Yes. Would I probably just order a softdrink and stick to something simple they can't screw up like a quesadilla and fries? Yeeeeeeeah.
