The service here is excellent, all the waiters and waitress are very friendly. It's located inside Tysons corner, so it can be pretty packed. The crab cake and filet mignon are amazing. The pasta here is mediocre at best. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would- simply because of their drunken ribeye and the amazing service that we had the other night. It was a Friday night and I kid you not, my boyfriend and I received better service here than we have previously received at Ruth's Chris. Manny was our server and our drinks were never half empty, our table was spotless at every point during the meal, and he was beyond courteous. The guy deserves a gold medal in customer service. It was hands down the best experience we have ever received at a restaurant EVER! Plus we were in and out in 45 minutes on a Friday night - incredible! The food (as always) was amazing. The drunken ribeye is worth the $31 - you'll leave stuffed and craving it the next day. read more

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW!!!!! Gluten Free: limited & mostly flavorless; not celiac-friendly Don't get me wrong, I used to LOVE the Great American Restaurants which continued even after I stopped working at Mike's American 3 or 4 years ago. So I know they have good food and great service, however, their Gluten Free menu is HORRIBLE due to flavor issues. Their idea of a Gluten Free menu is take everything off that has gluten integrated into the recipe. Then for the dishes that don't have gluten integrated into the dish just remove the offending item. So instead of substituting the offending item with something else, it's just removed. In addition, while the menu does state the Fish of the day is Gluten Free, depending on the side dishes/sauce it may or may not be eligible (due to the whole gluten free substitution issue they seem to have). The filet mignon is rendered pretty much inedible due to no au jus substitute leaving it bland and dry (blackened seasoning also not gluten free). The few fish dishes (cause none of the crab/lobster/shrimp dishes are gluten free) don't have much in the lines of side dish options and grilling options as such taste pretty bland as well. The flour-less chocolate cake is pretty much the only flavorful original gluten-free item on the menu. The burgers (without bun & no fries) aren't too bad and are actually edible but unless you are on the Atkins diet all that meat/protien without much in the lines of carbs or vegetables isn't really balanced. The sides you are able to choose really doesn't balance it out too well. Pretty much if you are Gluten Free, don't even bother coming here. Despite the fact that it's a seafood themed restaurant most of the seafood is not prepared Gluten Free. read more

We've been here a number of times as it's one of the handful of proper restaurants at the B&N end of the mall. Like the booths especially when you have kids who can't sit still. Sort of keeps them contained. The food is a little greasy & over salted as is typical of this type of restaurant (American style cooking). But flavour-wise is alright. Should be able to find something decent enough on the menu. Several good salads. They have a nice big bar area but never sat there. read more

The Ozzie Rolls were the highlight of the meal! I ordered the lobster bisque which tasted like there was too much sherry in it and the Pecan crusted trout was just average. I'll try another dish next time. read more

My favorite chain. The bread is so good. The crab cakes are possibly the top 5 in the MD/VA/DC area. The ribs are also a big hit. Won't dissapoint. Its nice to see a chain that does it right. I also been to their partnering restaurant, sweet water tavern. Very similar ingredients and menu but all so delicious. If you are looking to do some happy hour, I think the Fairfax location would be better. They have an outdoor patio when the weather is nice. More suits/mall people at this one, but don't matter to me. I always come back for those mojitos. read more

Busy restaurant but definitely my go-to in Tyson's. The waiters are terrific and all of their salads are amazing.

Food is a bit overpriced, but I am in love with the food here! Their complimentary ozzie rolls are delish! I definitely recommend the shrimp cocktail and calamari (comes with a tangy, Asian sauce) for appetizers and the lobster or shrimp roll for the meal! Love the fries that come with the rolls too! Yum! read more

I really like the tropical decor of the restaurant. It reminds me of the places in South Florida that I used to visit. I enjoyed the Deviled Egg appetizer with the addictive candy bacon. Also recommend their bread basket and BBQ salmon. My advice to them would be to replace the Shrimp and Grit cake with traditional cheese grits and shrimp. read more

Great food nice atmosphere. Must have their ozzy rolls. They will probably put them on the table. They have mastered bread. I would recommend the grouper fingers. Dip them in the tartar sauce. A little childish I know but their luxury fish sticks. You won't regret having them. The flavor is not the ordinary fish stick. read more

Great salads, yummy ozzie rolls, large enough so you never have too much trouble finding a seat. I wish the Great American Restaurants chain would hop on the OpenTable bandwagon already, but their call-ahead seating is a pretty good stand in. Bar area is large enough to support a pretty good happy hour. Convenient location. One of my favorite lunch spots in Tysons. read more

Hmm. Completely adequate place to drop in for lunch or dinner and conveniently located in a shopping mall. Not sure this place would be on my regular rotation of places to get food in the DC area since there is much better seafood to be found. Fish and chips were good. Service was good. Not much else to say beyond that. 3.5 stars. read more

No complaints from me here. My mother was in town and craving seafood and this place was recommended by my father-in-law. Service was excellent and the food was quite good. I had a fine piece of grouper, which I haven't been able to find fresh and/or cooked anyway other than fried since I was in Key West. The restaurant has their own ale as well which was surprisingly decent. read more

Had Mother's Day lunch here and it was a great experience. Our Server was great among other staff members. I enjoyed my mango mojito and salad. They are kid friendly too. read more

It is one of the more reliable restaurants at Tysons Corner. The others seem expensive but Costal Flats is more of a family atmosphere restaurant. First time and impressed. Next time I go to the mall it's Costal Flats because it's priced right. read more

Had a business lunch here, ordered a salad featuring seared sesame-crusted sashimi-grade tuna on mixed greens in some vinaigrette (ginger?). Well done, with prompt service. read more

I've only had a few dishes here but they all have been good. The smoked salmon salad is a must try. I also love their drinks. I've had beer and mixed drinks and all of them were good as far as I could remember. Service was ok as it took a little bit longer to get our waiter to check on us. I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the last issue. read more

I'm fairly impressed The service is attentive and fast, the fish is fresh and the prices are pretty decent. I also like the "beach house" motif. There are plenty of choices at the mall, but this is a very good one. read more

Great service, good food, discount movie tix! Can't beat it. The waitress was excellent. She suggested the firecracker shrimp for an appetizer and it was delicious. She also told us about the half price movie tickets CF offers to diners. It was my first visit here and I was blown away by how great the service was and the food since it's a chain restaurant. read more

My boyfriend and I really enjoy eating here. We are actually regulars. We come here once every week. For appetizer.. I really recommend the sweet and spicy Calamari. My boyfriend and I always get this, and surprisingly it NEVER gets old. Their fritters are actually really good. The portion is small. You only get three, so if you are not planning to be stuffed before your entree I would recommend this. The Crab Imperial dip I do not recommend. It was the first things I actually tried from Coastal, and I really dis liked it. The spinach artichoke dip is OKAY. I don't recommend getting this dip. I do think you would be disappointed. It is pretty bland. If you want something really light I recommend the Mixed field greens. It is pretty fresh and the balsamic vinaigrette dressing it come with is the BEST I ever had. It has dried cranberries and it actually is a nice touch to the salad with the dressing. If you want something a bit heavier I recommend the Smoked salmon salad. The salad is just like the fresh field greens, but it has red potatoes and green beans too. THE BUTTER GARLIC CROUTONS ARE REALLY GOOD! The Short Smoked Salmon Fillet is AMAZING! The smoky flavor is a really nice touch to the salmon. It is not over powering, but just PERFECT! It comes with cauliflower mash. I am not a big fan of cauliflower, but the mash is actually pretty good. Pecan crusted trout is okay. I am not a big fan of pecan, but if you like it than I guess you should try this. This dish is a bit to sweat for me. I actually do not enjoy it much. The grouper fingers are AMAZING! The fish is so fresh that your first bite into it is just wonderful. The fish is so fresh that it is kinda fluffy. The tartar sauce is just right and not to tarty. It comes with a slaw and it honestly has to be the best slaw ever! The shrimp and creamy grits is not that great. I am not a fan of grits. So if you do not like grits than I do not recommend this. But you can actually ask them to substitute the grits for a penne pasta. The penne pasta is actually really good. It comes in a creamy sauce, and I think there are bits of bacon or ham in it. I never tried the crab cake, but my boyfriend loves it! He always gets their crab cake and fillet mignon. I do not really enjoy their Hickory grilled chicken breast. The chicken is not that great. I have had better chicken at Sweet water. They are the same chain, but how the prepare the chicken is a tad different. I do not like the linguini it comes with. It is a bit bland and you get tired of it. I really do not recommend this dish. I have never tried their ribs, but I heard it is pretty good. They give you a very big portion of the ribs too. It looks good, but I an not a fan of ribs. I NEVER TRIED THE FILET MIGNON BUT MY BOYFRIEND LOVES IT AND HE GETS IT ALL THE TIME! I can tell that the meat is very fresh. Their french fries are good. They are thin and pretty good. The mashed red potatoes are really good too! I really recommend their mashed potatoes! Cauliflower mash is actually surprisingly good. It may not sound appealing, but it is actually good. COLE SLAW IS REALLY GOOD HERE! read more

Okay well I was here for the day at tysons corner. I went in here for lunch and just sat at the bar. The bartender was polite young fella, and greeted us very promptly. He was quick to get me a glass of water, however to take my order it did take him awhile. I guess he was busy with many other customers at tables near the bar. This is usually fine with me however on a late Monday afternoon? Otherwise the drinks and food were good...I suggest if u go here its probably much better to just get a table! read more

I dont' really have anything bad to say about Coastal Flats. You can usually find something to eat since the menu covers a range of appetizers, salads and entrees. I've had the Warm Goat Cheese & Spiced Pecan Salad (which is my go-to salad), lobster roll is pretty decently filling, Low Country Beef Back Ribs which is sooo tender and falls off the bone. Go with any of those and you'll feel satisfied. I love love the straw fries and cole slaw as sides. They just hit the spot. Oh and I can't forget about the ozzie rolls!!! We can't get enough of those! The one at tysons can get crowded, but luckily you're at the mall..you can walk around the surrounding stores while you wait. =) read more

This location at Tyson Corner is the best. It has a very cozy vibe and the food is tasty. I've had beef ribs here (something that the Fairfax Corner location does not offer). Easy to access from the ground level of the Tysons Corner's garage. read more

I went here with a coworker for dinner and ordered the crab and rock shrimp fritters which were AMAZING. Highlight of the meal. We also ordered the crab dip which was just ok in comparison. My coworker had the crab cake which she thought had too much spice (and a weird coleslaw), but my lobster roll was impressively good. read more

What more is there to say? Great american restaurant chain, probably one of the best chains around. Always great service and food. Start your meal off with some awesome Ozzie rolls yum! I tend to be a steak snob, I tend to only eat expensive steaks. But the Drunken Ribeye at Coastal flats is the best non-steakhouse steak anywhere around. If i don't feel like dishing out the $50+ for just a steak, The drunken ribeye is under $30 for a steak with 2 sides and a starter salad is a steal! read more

The food here is always great. Fun place to go with friends or family. This location being in Tyson's is usually always packed, so it's best to make a reservation in advance. Food wise the burgers are great and so are the delicious, mouthwatering doughnut bread. The staff is also helpful and friendly. Overall there food is tasty and I believe you won't be disappointed! read more

Consistency Consistency Consistency. Costal flats at first looked to me like all those cookie cutter mall restaurants that offer large portions that look good but tasteless and feel like a rock in your stomach. However this place quickly became our favorite place in the mall after 5 Guys :) The reason being what I started my review with in addition to them actually having tasty food and great service. I ate the beef ribs on my first time, and I think I stopped using a fork and knife after the first bite and just held it from the bone. Meaning its was really good. The second time I had the Tuna steak I think and again no complaints just compliments to the chef. read more

Came here once with a few friends and we had a great time. The service was great and the food was good. We ordered a bottle of wine which was nice to have with our lobster rolls. The prices are fair. read more

A friend and I went here to kill time before a movie and OMG....I can not wait to go back! We had the shrimp and crab fritters and the crab sliders as appetizers...AWESOME! But the whole reason for my return, other than the outstanding ambiance and customer service (Shout out to Silvia) is their MANGO MARTINI. I am not a big drinker but I downed THREE of those suckers! Needless to say I'm a fan! read more

Loads of variety and decent portion size. I have tried several dishes over time and I have never had a bad experience.

Yummy yummy yummy. My friend had the delicious deviled eggs and I had the double delicious Roasted Chicken salad! And my drink on non-happy hour is very reasonable. We will be back! read more

I had been wanting to go to this restaurant because they just opened up around my way. I'm late on this review but I will say that I enjoyed my meal. It was a pasta dish with shrimp, haha, I can't remember the name but my taste buds were very happy. Our waiter was engaging and knew his facts about the menu as well suggested entrees we should try. For dessert I had a taste of the Pumpkin Cheesecake which changed my life. I wanted to shed a tear because it was so good. It is a pricey spot but definitely worth your money. The hostesses were nice and welcoming when we arrived and when we left. I'm all about eating good! I'll be back again. read more

Great food, great service. The deviled eggs are the absolute best. Definitely one to try in the Tysons area.

Coastal is our local favorite. This place caters to everyone. The staff is so friendly. They greet you with a smile and yes, they know your name when you come back. The food is exceptional and every night. read more

This restaurant felt a little like a touristy chain, mainly because it is in the mall which is the only reason I didn't give it a 5. The food however was awesome. The aussie rolls are so good, more like dessert! I definitely recommend the fritters for a starter. Beware the plate only comes with 3 and you won't want to share! Service was a little slow but I was with a party of 6 and we ordered a lot off food and drinks. The young gentleman that waited on us was chatty, friendly and genuine. We really enjoyed a night out here! read more

I am giving CF 4 stars more because of the service than the food. We are a great fan of GAR and go to Mike's a couple of time a week. We tired CF the other day and my wife ordered the sea bass. Now I must say that the food was very good but it just wasn't prepared the way that she liked it. The sauce was not to her liking. Our server took it back and the manager prepared something else for her that was not really on the menu. The manager came back twice and made sure all was good. BTW, my ribs were great. So that is why I gave CF 4 stars and not 5 like Mike's, but I have to give them kudos for their tremendous patience and attention to detail. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! I love all of the Great American chain restaurants, but Coastal Flats in Tysons is the best! I recommend the Pecan Crusted Trout, the Deviled Eggs (strange menu item, but they are delicious), Grouper Fingers, Filet Mignon, and Drunken Ribeye. I wasn't a big fan of the Hickory Grilled Jumbo Shrimp as they were over cooked. And if it's your first visit, save room for dessert! You'll definitely want to try the Warm Flourless Chocolate Waffle!! The Banana Pudding and Key Lime Pie are good as well. read more

The best among all the Great American Restaurants. The food and the service was wonderful. Great family restaurant, the reason for 4 stars is it is hard to accommodate more than 6 people. Other than that, this is one of the best family restaurants around Tysons. read more

Lots of reviews, so short and sweet. Came during weekday lunch, ordered the special (deep fried soft shell crab sandwich) with fries. Was pretty good, a tad salty. The sig-o's order was better, especially the coleslaw. Service was super attentive, and clearly used to a business lunch type crowd (i.e. food came out fast and so did the check). If I was feeling like seafood after walking around Ty's Corner I'd come here again. read more

One word that will say it all ... "SERVICE" ... their service concept is unparalelled. Any waiter can see that you need more water or clear a plate from the table...it doesn't have to be assigned to them specifically. No more having to look for "our" waiter. Our waiter, Matt, was darling. He had personality plus+ but not in an obnoxious way. He was there to make our dining as pleasant as he possibly could. However they train their staff, other restaurants could definitely learn from them. My only objection is that Maryland doesn't have a Coastal Flats ... we have to make the dreadful trek from MD to VA through that horrible mess called Tyson's Corner. We liked our experience so much that we took the time to compliment the manager for a "job well done". We'll be back! How about scouting for a location in Gaithersburg??????? read more
