This was such a treat! From the moment we stepped out of the Uber, the staff was warm, and friendly. My husband was on crutches, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. The restaurant is small and a bit stuffy, but the food more than makes up for it. Every bite was worth it, and the excellent service made the experience even better. read more

Georgetown Seafood - LOBSTER ROLL + SOUP (L) - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Amazing! Why didn't I go to this joint sooner?! New England seafood shack vibes in Georgetown! Great service, reasonable prices. The warm lobster roll with mayo was heavenly!!!!! Clam chowder is thick and good although quite salty. The lobster grilled cheese is pretty good too but I do recommend sticking to the lobster roll! read more

Best meal I had while in DC/Virginia for a business trip! Had the lobster roll and it was 10/10, buttery and no brininess whatsoever. Also lots of variety so that you can have your meal just the way you like it too - you can have your lobster meat cold or warmed, and you can have fries, hush puppies, chips, or salad on the side. If lobster isn't your thing, there's also crab cakes, po' boys, cod, and shrimp! For service, you order at the counter but I was brought water with lemon, checked on during my meal, and one of the employees even chased me outside and offered me some candy in a bowl on my way out. It was such a thoughtful gesture to top off an already marvelous meal! read more

Georgetown Seafood - Lobster Roll, salmon burger - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is probably the best lobster roll in DC? I'm not entirely sure why people rate it so high though. It does have seating, but it's limited, service is at the counter, so it's not really a go in for a nice meal and sit down type of place. That is a very good spot and I do recommend it. read more

Came from out of town and decided to check this place out for early dinner. Crab cake is full of high quality blue crab meats. Potato salad and fries were awesome. Staffs kept checking in on me. I love the chill vibe of this tiny restaurant. All in all it's an excellent place to grab a bite. Definitely pricey food around Georgetown to be expected. Highly recommend! read more

Another gem which I'm ecstatic to have finally visited! First, shoutout to the incredible staff!!!! Everyone was super helpful and pleasant, hospitality at its finest. However, shoutout to our waitress, Doris-she was the kindest. Seating: there is a few seating both upstairs and downstairs, with more seating outside. However, because this place is super popular you can expect each seat to be filled. Quality: I wasn't too fond of the fishy scent upon arrival but it's a seafood spot and one which provides the freshest and most delicious seafood I've had in a longggggggggg time. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese with a side of hush puppies and my boyfriend ordered a lobster roll. Hush puppies- the BEST I've had in quite some time. They were freshly made, crispy, and mixed with some honey for an added sweetness. Lobster grilled cheese sandwich: O-M-G! I'm still recovering from the amazing flavor profile in this sandwich. For starters, the Maine lobster serving was quite generous and it was fresh and buttery. The sourdough bread was beyond delicious, perfectly crisp around the edges, soft on the inside, with savory cheese oozing through the holes. The sandwich also contained sautéed spinach and tomato, making this sandwich my favorite of all time-no exaggeration! My boyfriend absolutely loved his lobster roll and from the pictures, you can once again see how generous they were with serving up those fresh lobster pieces. We ended up ordering another round of hush puppies because there was no way that we would leave without indulging in more of it. LOL I cannot wait to return again. read more

I am so glad that I gave Georgetown Seafood another shot! The service was extremely attentive and friendly. They even let me sample both the lobster bisque and clam chowder, since I could not decide which one I wanted. I ended up ordering the lobster bisque and the warm lobster roll. Both were delicious. The serving of lobster in the roll was extremely generous and the portion of soup was great. I will absolutely be back! read more

If you are craving a lobster roll you have found the place to go. This roll was absolutely delicious and packed full of lobster. They really didn't skimp out! I'll be dreaming of this for days!! Also ordered the lobster bisque and it was just as good The service was also great! We were greeted with big smiles and welcoming words. read more

Georgetown Seafood - LOBSTER ROLL + SOUP (L) - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I saw tons of good reviews and I was excited to try this spot. We came in midday Sunday and they had a 15 minute wait to order so we had to sit outside while we waited. All staff was really friendly and everyone came to check on us multiple times, fill up water, etc. After we got inside to order, it was a bit chaotic, workers walking by and we were constantly being bumped. We got to the front of the line and the guy started taking our order for a second then turned around and was dealing with something else, which was a bit off putting. We ordered 3 lobster rolls, calamari, and the lobster bisque, two beers, etc and it was around $130. Foodwise: lobster bisque was the best part of the meal for sure. It had a buttery flavor with a good amount of lobster but great overall. The calamari was really lack luster- for $17 it was way smaller than a typical size you'd get at a restaurant. I think the addition of the shredded carrots was unnecessary - cold carrots with hot calamari didn't really work and it was not a huge portion at all. It said tentacles too but it just seemed like rings. The lobster rolls did have a decent amount of lobster and I think the hot ones were definitely the better of the two. The mayo one barely had any celery and some of the pieces were so large it was making it messy to eat as you almost had to cut some of the pieces as they were too big to chew. I liked the side coleslaw but wish the side hush puppies came with some honey butter. Overall I think the lobster rolls were a good bang for you buck but still not on par with Maine lobster rolls I've had. Overall will be back to try some other items, like crab cakes, etc. Do note that their drinks they serve like cocktails, are all canned cocktails they have and not like a real cocktail. Servers were nice and they have outdoor seating as well. read more

I've heard great things about Georgetown Seafood so I was excited to try! It's a great place with amazing workers and delicious food! I had a yummy lobster roll with French fries.

Good spot for grab and go seafood with some outdoor seating. The lobster roll was good but when I order a warm roll I expect it to be warm throughout, the middle was cold & could've used some more seasoning. The hush puppies and sauce were really delicious I'd definitely get those again. The clam chowder was ok nothing to write home about. read more

I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant and was actually traveling from New York specifically to come here. I called ahead simply to ask whether it would be realistic to get a table around 6PM for 7 people and person told me that they're not taking reservations. The phone experience was honestly shocking. First, I was told that they couldn't hear me, even though there was clearly no issue with the connection, but I removed my headphones and continued to talk, i was on the road traveling from New York to Washington DC and couldn't simply call back in 10 minutes. I asked one very simple question: Is it realistic to get a table around 6PM without a reservation, or should we not bother coming? Instead of answering, before I even finished my question the employee hung up on me. I completely understand if a restaurant doesn't accept reservations or has a long wait. That is not the issue at all. The issue is the incredibly dismissive and rude way I was treated when I was genuinely trying to plan a visit..... I have honestly never left a review like this before, but after traveling specifically to visit this restaurant, I was so disappointed by the customer service that I decided not to come at all. There are plenty of restaurants where guests can be treated with basic courtesy and respect. Sadly, I cannot recommend this place based on my experience. read more

Georgetown Seafood was SO good. My mind was honestly blown. The lobster bisque was rich, creamy, and packed with chunks of lobster. The lobster roll was loaded with fresh lobster. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and every dish was a hit. The person serving us was friendly and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The seating area is small, but it's definitely worth it. I'll absolutely be back. read more

I heard great things about Georgetown Seafood, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The location is fantastic, but be prepared for a challenge with parking on weekends; it took me a little extra time to find a spot. The decor has a charming New England feel. The staff were efficient and friendly, making the experience even better. We indulged in the lobster grilled cheese with hush puppies and a chilled lobster roll. Both were absolutely delicious, and the hush puppies were so good we had to order a second round. If you're a seafood lover, this place is a worth a visit. read more

Everything is good here. First the fried oysters, lobster roll sandwich and fish and chips with french fries, all are amazingly good.

Just really satisfied with the experience. read more

After soaking in the views of the waterfront by Georgetown waterfront park, this spot was a short walk uphill and the place I had bookmarked for lunch. I ordered the crabcake and lobster bisque for dine in. The cashier even asked me if I wanted them to serve the dishes together which was really attentive of them. I found some seating on the second floor and the staff even brought the food up to me! I know I came for the seafood but was absolutely blown away by the five star service! The staff were super king and kept asking if we needed anything the entire time we were dining in. They also proactively brought cups of water and utensils as well as an extra basket for my brother so that we could share the order. Once others are finished eating, the staff were super quick to clear and clean the tables. This is the service that all five stars or those $$$ restaurants should aspire for honestly. The crab cake was pretty decent and good for the given price. Not the best I've ever had though. The lobster bisque was also pretty good and stirring the soup seemed to enhance the seafood flavor. It was a very creamy and filling soup. Bathroom was immaculately clean and had no smell. 10 out of 10 would recommend visiting this spot if in the area! read more

I went to Georgetown Seafood for the first time as a tryout and I will definitely be back. The lobster roll literally melted in my mouth and was so fresh and flavorful. The hush puppies were amazing and the sauce with them was so good. The potato salad was delicious too, just a very small portion. I live over 50 minutes away and my food still didn't last the car ride home I'm so glad I randomly decided to stop and order carry out. Honestly already thinking about going back tomorrow. read more

Georgetown Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered the seafood basket and added fried oysters. The shrimp and the oysters were outstanding, but the fish left a lot to be desired. I suspected that it was pre-battered, as the shape and texture of the filets resembled the frozen ones you would buy at a grocery store. This part of my meal left a lot to be desired. It was on par with what you would get as fish and chips from a low-tier chain restaurant. I asked one of the servers if they came pre-battered and she said she was pretty sure they did. At $25.99 for the fish and chips basket (which my son ordered,) fish should be battered in-house to justify that kind of price. Also, I was charged approximately a 5% "service fee." While the service was good, that's what a tip is for. The owners are cutting corners and nickel and diming their customers rather than just pricing menu items accordingly. read more

I recently visited Georgetown Seafood and let me just say IT WAS AMAZING!!! The space is small and cozy, which I actually love because the customer service feels very intentional. You are literally greeted at the door and given the next steps. You order and pay first, then they seat you. We were seated upstairs, a little tight but we made it work. They immediately brought infused water to the table. YES...INFUSED. A simple touch, but it set the tone. About ten minutes, our food arrived. We shared the seafood platter with fish, shrimp, fries, cold slaw and hush puppies. It was hot, fresh, and crispy, just like we like it. But for me, the warm lobster roll was the moment. Buttery, overflowing with lobster, and the bread was perfectly toasted. It was rich without being overwhelming and full of flavor in every bite. My dad ordered the lobster bisque, which looked creamy and good but because my stomach does not always appreciate heavy cream, i stayed in my lane. He enjoyed it though, lol. Can't wait to visit again to try the crab cakes. read more

I immediately was greeted with a very nice smile and welcome when I arrived. It was around 3:20pm on a Tuesday so it wasn't super busy. I planned on visiting on off hours as I read from other Yelper's its small and you may have to sit outside. No way, not today. People were seated upstairs. I chose to have the downstairs to myself. I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the single crab cake, hush puppies, and potato salad. I will come back to try the Lobster roll. Today was a crabcake day. They were very nice and let me sample the coleslaw and the potato salad. They immediately got me a cup of ice water while I ordering my food because it was hot. The staff went above and beyond and you can tell the Manager, Ny, leads by example. She was training and she was awesome. The food was hot and fresh. I didn't have to add hot sauce or black pepper to anything. It was good and properly seasoned. read more

Georgetown Seafood - Single Crab cake, Hushpuppies, and Potato Salad - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Pretty much perfect experience for a great seafood lunch just off of M in Georgetown. We ordered: cod sandwich, multiple crab cake sandwiches, salmon sandwich, seafood salad, fried oysters. and sides of many types. All offerings were great - crabcakes weren't huge but were mainly crab. Fried proteins were executed quite well. Potato salad was the best of the sides, even as they were all solid. Would get each dish again. You order at the counter and then get served outside (or inside), and in many cases, this dynamic means service isn't great, but in the case of Georgetown Seafood, the service was exceptional. read more

I wish I knew about this place sooner. It was soooo good. It's a small restaurant with some outdoor seating. You might have to take the food to go if there's not enough room. The service was good. The staff knows they're popular so they're very efficient. The food was really delicious. The lobster was flavorful. The fried were perfectly crispy. I can't wait to come back. read more

I was strolling in Georgetown and got a little hungry. I had been craving seafood but also grilled cheese and I was hoping somewhere in the area had something on the menu that combined both! Georgetown Seafood did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, the service was efficient and the food was amazing. The lobster grilled cheese was packed with gooey cheese and ample lobster, packed with flavor. The fries were perfectly crisped. I dined in and enjoyed the homey atmosphere and a lovely view of the georgetown streets. If in the area, stop in and give them a try! read more

Best to order to go as the seating here is limited. Place is fast casual and that is the best description for the food quality. We tried the lobster bisque (topped with one bit of lobster), fried clams (boring batter), lobster roll and crabcakes. Everything was good or good enough. Oh and the coleslaw was above average. Service was great! read more

Yummy, cozy spot with outdoor seating and small indoor seating both upstairs and downstairs. The service is absolutely wonderful and pleasant. Let's see, did I like the bisque or lobster roll best??? Or the hush puppies??? Or the clam chowder??? All of it was yummy!!! Seriously glad this is where we came. Parking can be ugh but worth it. We came around 11:30 and no line. There was one by noon for sure. Will definitely hit this restaurant again!!! As a Californian I can say it as hella good lol read more

Pros: All the food we tried; (Warm lobster roll-lots of lobster meat, fried fish-great flavor, fried shrimp-plump, lobster bisque-good flavor, hush puppies, some of the best I have had, great tartar sauce) Extremely kind service.

Cons: Not a lot seating inside but if it's nice outside, grabbing a table outside is great. read more

This spot is definitely a hidden gem in Georgetown! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. When placing my order, I was torn between two dishes, but the lovely lady at the counter shared what the restaurant is best known for and offered excellent suggestions. She even gave me samples of the sides to help me decide, which was a thoughtful touch! I'm not usually a fan of hush puppies since I don't like corn, but these were perfectly golden and crispy with no noticeable pieces of corn. I decided on the crabcake sandwich with fries, and it was good! She mentioned it might take about 15 minutes, which I appreciated. Another kind lady came around offering ice water to guests, and the entire team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The crabcake was flavorful with lumps of crabmeat. A few fries were a bit underdone, but overall, everything else was good. that. read more
