Went back to Garlic Sensations food truck for the second time. Last time I just tried the crab egg rolls. Today I had a crab egg roll, shrimp with hush puppies, and seafood salad. This will be lunch for the next 2 days. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious.

Croaker
Kei K.

I went when he had the $10 specials so I ordered the croaker, seafood salad and crab eggroll. The fish was ok, could have used a bit more seasoning for my liking. The seafood salad was not short on shrimp but I didn't taste any crab, or perhaps it didn't come with any, but it was decent. The crab eggrolls were not my favorite. Whatever he mixed with the "crab" filling tasted really mushy!!! I don't believe he uses lump crab meat for them. I'm honestly glad I caught the sale because the quality I received didn't match the regular prices. I personally feel like what I received did NOT match what he post on IG/FB.

Crab eggroll very good
Tamara S.

Nice pricing for the amount of food you get. The crab eggrolls where good but the filling could use more taste. I enjoyed how the wrapping had flavor. My catfish was fried perfectly. Service was good. I would definitely recommend.

I purchased a crab eggroll which they used at least 5 sheets of wonton wrapper to make. That's crazy to bite into hard dough. I scraped the insides out and put them on my crab fries (which were the best dish). The 4oz crab cake was soggy from sitting on top of the little hush puppies in the plastic container with all the condensation. The catfish nuggets were not of good quality (I was craving the catfish nuggets from Infuse which is closed now). I did see a video where the owner said some pieces came in small and some other products were sent back for quality control so maybe that was the case but idk this is my first time trying. Customer service was weird idk it's like ppl stopped getting basic training for greetings etc. Then they really pmo cuz they had the nerve to be blasting a pedo 2 stepping to R. Kelly while I'm still waiting for my food. This was the first stop in my Black Friday series today if you are following me on here lol (I was so upset I went to another Black owned biz that was no better in food quality). *UPDATE* In response to Vincent the biz owner: If u want the rest of the food back I have it, was going to donate it to less fortunate. But the fact that you said it seems the option wasn't awarded to correct the issue, while still not offering SPEAKS VOLUMES my guy. Stay blessed moe.

I loved the vibe of the staff and the food truck. I enjoyed the music, the vibe, and the food. I tried the egg rolls and tasted the fish. The egg rolls were very filling and a nice size. The fish was prepared fresh and you call tell. It had a great fresh taste, but it could have used a tad bit more seasoning. I would definitely try them again.

Ok I've been seeing videos of this food truck. So today I decided to try it. I've been craving some good Crocker go a while. So me and my husband ordered the crab egg rolls, Crocker with shrimp and 2 rolls, catfish and crab fries. Ok the crab fries was really good 10/10. Catfish was really good nicely seasoned and crispy 10/10. Now my Crocker for some reason I wasn't really feeling it seemed like it wasn't seasoned enough like the catfish the shrimp just ok. Catfish and shrimp 4/10. The rolls were really good 10/10. Crab egg rolls I couldn't wait to try since they suppose to be the #1 seller I didn't really like first bite there was a lot of dough actually the whole egg roll. The crab meat wasn't seasoned like I thought. So I didn't finish it even dipped it in the sauce which was good. So crab egg roll 2/10. If I go back again I would only get the catfish, crab fries and rolls. Prices were good 15 each for the catfish and Crocker with shrimp and rolls. 15 for 2 egg rolls I forgot how much the fries were maybe 15 as well.

Fries

I purchased fried shrimp, honey garlic chicken, seafood egg roll, and hush puppies...my order was seasoned very well, and cooked to my pleasing. *Picture is after I ate some *SN...Keep up the good work, and great consistency. Best food truck staff ever!!!

Crab cake Box
Lauren C.

I found this food truck at at the Shops at Waldorf center in Waldorf, MD by accident and I'm so glad I did as this was a surprise hidden gem for me. Prices for food range between 15 and 30 bucks and ordering is simple enough. You place your order at the window and you're given a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready. The place was a pop-up of food trucks in the parking lot so seating is in your car lol. There's was definitely plenty of parking at this location though. I ordered the crabcake box which comes with fried shrimp and hush puppies, along with an order of the crab fries, which comes with honey garlic wings and fried shrimp. Food takes about 20 minutes, but I don't mind waiting as long as the food is good, and the food was absolutely worth the wait! First can I say I appreciate an establishment that provides fried shrimp with the tails already off. I understand the presentation that comes with leaving the tails on fried shrimp, but honestly it's just extra work to remove the tails that I don't want to do so thank you to this man lol. Second, everything that I got from this truck was delicious. I highly recommend eating the food while it's hot so that everything is crispy. I opted to take my food home so the steam definitely got to my fries and wings, but that didn't even matter because the food was so good. The crab fries had plenty of crab meat on them. I am almost positive he took one of his regular size crabcakes and put an entire one on the fries. The honey garlic wings were absolutely incredible, but again I definitely recommend having them fresh when they're hot and crispy. In terms of his price point for food, I definitely felt like I got my moneys worth here in terms of portion size and flavor. I will definitely be back again to try some of the other food offerings here and if you catch this truck, I highly recommend stopping and eating here.

Crab cake platter with fish addded and mac&cheese and string beans
Crystal C.

I came here for lunch today because of the review I saw on Yelp. I got a fish&hush puppies plate, "The Dickies" plate and a crab cake platter and added 2 pieces of fish to it. I also got a side of mac&cheese and a side of string beans. The fish was good but the fried shrimp that came on the crab cake and dickies platters were phenomenal!!! The best I've ever had. The crab cake was just ok to me. I still think The Tender Rib has the best crab cakes in the DMV. The hush puppies were very good too. Definitely top 3 I've ever had. The string beans were so flavorful even my picky 1 year old was tearing them up...lol. The only thing I didn't like was the mac&cheese. It looked perfect and was so creamy but it had a wierd taste. My dad thought it tasted like it was made with spoiled milk. I'm sure we just got a bad batch but I wouldn't order it again to see. I will definitely be back for the fish,shrimp,hushpuppies and string beans!

4.5 stars. I cannot…read moreoverstate how friendly the staff here is. Very welcoming, very patient, very kind. Set a really great tone for my visit. There are surprising number of chicken options here for a place called, "This Is Seafood", but not quite as many seafood options as I hoped. I was really looking forward to getting an order of fried scallops for lunch and I was a little disappointed they didn't have them on the menu. I decided to get the Combo #4: 3 whole wings, 6 fried shrimp, and my choice of 1 piece of fish and side dish. For my fish, I chose fried catfish and for my side I chose hush puppies. The combo also came with a fountain drink. I decided to mix their house-made lemonade and house-made iced tea and it made the perfect half-and-half. The wait wasn't too bad, as the food was being freshly made. It was piping hot and crispy when I received it. Those shrimp were huge! Some of the biggest fried shrimp I've ever had...And not those butterfly shrimp either. Whole shrimp, and the tail was removed so I didn't have to worry about accidentally crunching on one of the shells. The catfish was delectable! Perfectly seasoned, delightfully crispy, and absolutely melted in my mouth. So good. I'm coming back for the catfish if nothing else. The wings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy, but they were a bit too light on the seasoning for my taste. And the mumbo sauce tasted too similar to barbecue sauce. I did not like that, so I ended up saving the rest of the wings until I got home to put my own mumbo sauce on them. The hush puppies were also really good. I like that they were fried perfectly and weren't greasy... Even after reheating them. Overall, my lunch cost me about $25 and it was enough food for at least two meals. Can't beat that. I'll be back for that catfish.

They Had My Favorite Type Of Fries: Crinkle Cut, Crispy, Yet Still Soft Inside. This Alone Made Me Happy . The Shrimp Were Big, Fried Perfectly & Had A Nice Crunch On The Outside. I Just Wish They Had A Little More Seasoning For Extra Flavor. Solid Seafood Spot With Good Portions, Great Prices, Easy Parking, & Friendly Service. I'll Definitely Be Back To Try More Stuff. I Can't Believe I Never Knew They Had This In Clinton, I've Been To The District Heights Location But Happy For This 1 Too.

Now, I wasn't really happy about our seat but I couldn't see behind the wall to know if there was another table to request to move to. We were sat in the front corner I guess directly under a vent and it was already chilly outside. I didn't let it bother me because I really wanted to try ERRTHANG on the menu. Now, this is where I was about to get up and leave. We sat for a good while and NO ONE came to greet, take a drink order, or even ask have we been helped. I want to say it's because we were somewhat out of sight. Because it was freezing I got up and asked for another table, which was on the other side of the wall with all the other customers and much warmer even with the patio bar doors open. No, I don't remember my waiters name, but he came over immediately and apologized for us being stranded in the back. We went on to order our drinks which came fairly quickly and we ordered our food. I was kind of disappointed because he said they no longer served fried crab legs and should be taken off the menu, but that's OK. I was ready to order something else. I had Chef Mo's Shrimp & Grits and when I say it's the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life. It was amazing. The grits were three cheese grits with crawfish, étouffée, and large perfectly shrimp with some BOMB jalapeño beef sausage, which I would have removed, but I said let's do it. Best decision I've ever made. I cannot stop thinking about the grits. My friend ordered the Cajun fried fish and grits with a side of eggs (no pic). We both raved the entire time about how creamy and delicious the grits were. I didn't need to add anything, no butter, no salt, no sugar. They were absolutely amazing and I'm not even a huge grits fan. Now, the fish, the menu stated half a pound, which came out to be one small piece of whiting. I guess I was expecting a bigger piece or maybe two pieces because it was so tiny but that baby filet was seasoned to the gods, I mean perfect. The breading was so flavorful but not overpowering or salty. The eggs tasted like the eggs I had in the marines out of a bag, but he mix them with the grits and was fine. Everything was so good that we thought about coming back later that night to try something else. Please bring back the deep-fried crab legs

Living in MD there are so many places to choose from and by God I'm trying to try all of them if I can! lol So this past Thursday (5/15/25) I had a strong taste for some seafood and decided to try a new place around the way. So I just Google blue crab and plenty of places popped up on Yelp and I decided on L&V. It was around 8pm when I ordered a dozen large males and steamed shrimp which I was kind of annoyed it was by the count and not the lbs. so I just ordered 20 shrimp and asked for extra seasoning on both. Which unfortunately I did not get...Smdh I will say this is definitely a certified hood spot. So if you a little scary of random folks just chilling outside and inside don't come here...lol. I'm the type of person who knows how to speak and keep it moving because I wasn't trying to hold a conversation. It looks like it has a bar and maybe a liquor store combination or something like that. It was definitely a weird combination, but I guess it works for them. But anyways the shrimp was really good...but they were not large in my book! One was so small I was like is this a baby crab? I can say the ones I did try were steamed well and the shrimp too...BUT I didn't get extra seasoning on anything and if you want cocktails sauce they don't have it. But you can pay $2 for butter. Will I be back? I don't think so. Good of you in the area but there are too many other places to try...so on to the next!

The food is good and the service is good also the ambiance is great. Crabs are delicious and huge.read more

So I got a 2lbs each of shrimp and crab legs to start to see how they cooked their seafood. They have a plethora of items to choose from fried foods to steamed fish and other seafoods. So if you not into the steamed they got you for the fried foods. And I think they might had other items to choose from, but I was just wanting to try the seafood. I paid for my food and went back to the car to wait about 20 minutes. So after I grabbed my food I headed to the house to partake in what smelled really good. I really enjoyed that they give you reusable bags with your order. As we all know that in Maryland you pay for bags so I think I might have paid but not even sure. I was pleasantly impressed how good the seafood was cooked that I went back the very next day! This time I got large blue crabs and more shrimp. I was a little disappointed with the blue crabs because the large were light and small. And I had one that was not fresh so had to throw it out. Now I will give them one more try to get the blue crabs right...so hopefully next time I can maybe give them that 4th star. For now they get a 3.75 star rating. I will definitely be back for the shrimp because they have gotten that right each time!

This is very hard to believe that I've never reviewed the "old" version of the Fish Market, but…read moresince it changed ownership and completely revamped the venue, I'll review the new version! :) First, I can't believe how crowded this place is since the reopening. Parking is ALWAYS a challenge every time that I've come. Once you walk inside you realize, this is NOT the same ole Fish Market. Talk about a total gut job. Formally, the restaurant was a traditional sit down neighborhood spot. Now, it has totally transformed into a sports bar with TV's all over the place. Fish Market has in my opinion the largest bar in the DMV. It is humongous! I applaud them for knowing where the money is and that's the bar! They also have a nice number of pub tables throughout, so as far as flow goes, I like this flow better than the former Fish Market. The menu has totally changed. I must say, I liked the old one better because it was a traditional seafood restaurant with all of your favorites. Now, its wings, pizza, fried fish and a couple entrees like salmon and shrimp pasta. All and all, it's a great spot if you want a strong drink at a decent price and even though it's mostly bar food, it's pretty damn good, especially the seafood pizza... Hittin!!
