The answer is ... nowhere but California Fish Grill! Their menu is super varied so it is one of the few fast casual places that our entire family can enjoy. Husband goes for the protein bowls, kiddos go for the battered fish / chicken tenders, and I love the grilled rockfish, cauliflower mash, and extra crispy/seasoned fries. We took our in laws here and they loved it so much that they ended up going back the next day by themselves. Service is super friendly as well.

Cooked well Salmon- also cooked well and seasoned well Grilled chicken tender- a little dry. Under-seasoned but was good with their sauces/ dressings Cajun Shrimp- cooked well not rubbery or overcooked. Seasoned well Cajun Fish- seems to be swai in Cajun seasoning. Yum. Brussels sprouts- my favorite!! Flavorful Fire roasted corn- second favorite. Tasted buttery Diced zucchini and rosemary- cooked well but rosemary heavy- rosemary is my least favorite herb lol Fries were underwhelming but I know they were probably sitting in the catering tray for some time Cauliflower rice- delicious!! Wouldn't miss rice at all Rice- fluffy and yum Cajun sauce- salty Greed goddess sauce- delicious. Tasted like some herby mayo

Parking can be tight at this plaza. Active construction and lots of 10 minute spaces be sure to read the signs and park where appropriate. Crab boil bags is what led us here! We browsed the menu before hand and they had me at custom! We were not limited to preselected items! And you can get boils with smaller amounts 1/2 pounds which you don't find at many crab boil places. Perfect for those who can't eat much or smaller appetite even as leftovers. I decided on the half pound headless shrimp, crab legs (my favorite!) and a lobster tail! We also got a bigger boil with a pound of head on shrimp, king crab legs, pound of scallops and some BBQ wings on the side. We tried the combo sauce "Crazy special" a mix of Cajun, garlic, and lemon pepper. Boils come with corn, potatoes, and sausage! There was so much food!!!! The wings came out hot, saucy, and still crispy with some house ranch on the side. Then came the boils. Just look at them!!!!!!! The seafood with fresh with actual garlic, fresh parsley, and saucy. Sauce was buttery, garlic was plentiful, good lemon pepper taste. Cajun was present but not strong. But the buttery goodness pooled at the bottom of our pans. Perfect for ensuring all bites were saucy bites. Rez stopped by to make sure we were good during our meal. We received snow crab instead of King on our big boil. Rez acknowledged the mistake and immediately made it right, no fuss, no making us feel bad, not even taking the incorrect legs back. Just phenomenal service and showing care for his customers. It was a meal well enjoyed in a good atmosphere. We saw several groups and families dining while we were there. Its a place you feel welcome, not rushed, and want to visit again! And we will! Of course we couldn't finish! And wrapped up leftovers to go! Also there's an all you can eat special $59.99/person. Definitely worth it for those who can put away some seafood! And last thing- there's a hand washing station outside of the at back of restaurant prior to restroom area so you can freshen before and after eating and not need to go inside the restroom. Thank you for this!!!!!

They have been voted Best Crabs inNVA several times. They get the biggest and meatiest crabs delivered fresh everyday.

Billy, who owns and has run the crab house for many many years is a GEM. He will always welcome you and make sure you are happy with what you order. He and his crew are very friendly, loyal and always willing to help you with a smile. If you have not tried Captain Pell's, I highly suggest you do.

This place is so incredibly expensive for the quality of food and atmosphere you get…read more The excerpt of the original "Captain Pell" made me feel sentimental for a quick minute, but then I was transported back to reality when I looked around. A dozen crabs was pretty good for the most part, but you would think the presentation for $20 calamari and crab dip would be better than that of a high school lunch. Anything more than a dozen crabs is likely not going to be good. Going here is like going to an alternative universe where you are no longer in Fairfax. For a dozen crabs, crab dip, calamari served in a tin plate, 2 crab cakes, chicken tenders, a cold & sad lobster roll, hush puppies, and two corn on the cobs, we left paying $400. Do with that what you will.

I also ordered the seafood linguine white pasta which was just alright, but had a good serving of seafood in it. The tuna poke was one of the best! Refreshing, flavorful and good quality tuna.

I wasn't super impressed by how our food came out, I had a total mixup with my entree - which was resolved quickly - but even with the correct salad, I was thrown off by how sparse the Artie's kitchen is compared to the other restaurants in the chain. I got the Mango Chicken salad and had the equivalent of 1 chicken tender cut up in the salad. It's odd to pay the price of a salad with a full serving of protein, but then to be kept severely lacking. If you do come here, just steer clear of the Mango chicken salad. Great location, I appreciated how there's sufficient parking available. I wouldn't choose to come back

I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce, but I really liked the way everything was cooked from the meats to the veggies. I like how there were two options for seafood or chicken, beef, or pork. My favorite thing was the spring rolls! I really like how it comes with both shrimp and pork and not just one or the other. I also really enjoyed the fish sauce because it had chunks of garlic and chili peppers in it. Our server was very nice. The restaurant was kind of dead so we did have to wave him down to get the check while he was sitting at another table on his phone. There is plenty of seating inside and I'm sure this place is even more fun at night. I would definitely love to come back to try other items!

Part of our family came 30 minutes later; we literally finished just on time. I'd recommend using the 2 hours to eat especially if you have a big group. Food is nothing to complain about. I thought everything was pretty authentic. And, portion sizes are good for the price. Nasi Lamek I got wasn't super oily and fried chicken was very well-seasoned. Appetizer platter is a good option if you don't know what to get. The panda crème brûlée was good, but I barely tasted the pandan.

They also have free parking, which is always a plus.
