5 stars because Seafood Island was exactly what I expected and they did that well. My husband and I…read moretried Seafood Island on a whim because neither of us could decide what we wanted on a Saturday evening with zero reservations anywhere. We walked in and were greeted and sat immediately. The restaurant is huge, appears clean, and leans pretty hard into the seafood / casual fun / piratey vibe. It seemed decently busy (10ish tables when we got in), but the restaurant is so big it'll probably never appear packed. Our server said hello, got our drink orders right away and gave us a few minutes to go over the menu. My husband ordered the Combo G, house special, mild and I ordered the Combo B, house special, medium. Our orders came in about 20 minutes and they were piping hot. We both really enjoyed the food. I thought the seasoning was great, the medium spice was perfectly medium. We both thought the seafood was cooked/timed well. The shells peeled right off without sticking. This isn't fine dining, but it is a good, fast seafood boil. All in all, it was a good experience. We will come back.

We were told that they were-they were not. The whole fried tilapia shown in a photo on the menu has shrimp on top of it. When it was served, there were no shrimp on it. When asked the waiter said it was an extra $5 for the shrimp. Odd in my opinion. The menu is extensive. Same with the cocktail menu. The ambience is average. It seems like a former fast food chain place converted into an independent restaurant. Prices are reasonable and food was tasty.

The vibe was totally chill and friendly, and we will definitely be back for more.

We had no idea what we were walking in to but I am so happy to have found it! As you walk up you are greated by colorful upside down umbrellas with flowers inside, the water feature and the outside dinning! If it wasn't so hot I would have demanded sitting on the patio! As we were promptly seated in started hearing a "tink tink" sound and looked up. Yall!! The cutest glass hummingbirds were hanging from the ceiling. It was stunning!! Ok, the food!!! I had the crab fried rice which my husband had to help me finish because it was a huge amount! Share if you can but with the understanding you might fight over the last bite. If you still have room after dinner get the butter cake! Ladies, it is worth the calories! The waiter was prompt and had us with drinks in no time! This is an absolute do again if we are ever in the area!

The restaurant is nice and quaint. It wasn't super busy at the time we got therr which was good. Service was amazing, just like it is at Bamboo Penny. We both ordered tye Pad Thai. Mine with no peanuts with chicken and steak. Hubs had peanuts and chicken, steak, and shrimp. He also had a drink that looked like water but definitely wasn't. He said it was tasty. I had a Coke. Overall, a nice substitute if you can't get to Bamboo Penny. The only thing that was different was I wasn't offered the different sauces/spices to add to the Pad Thai.

Been wanting to try Earl's Premier for a minute, and it did NOT disappoint!…read more We started with the shrimp cocktail--and they were huge!--along with Southern hush puppies. The shrimp were plump and satisfying, especially with the seafood cocktail sauce, which had the perfect kick of horseradish. The hush puppies were a delicious Southern start before moving on to the mains: crispy cod, shrimp salad, and lobster roll. Everything was delicious! My favorites were definitely the shrimp and the crispy cod, with its irresistible crispy coating. The lobster roll was good, but not my favorite--it was generously coated in sauce, which was a little too much for my liking. Overall, though, a great meal and definitely worth trying!

Absolutely amazing!…read more We picked this spot out for my birthday based on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! It's a small place, so I definitely recommend getting reservations. We got right in and I ordered the frozen gin and tonic. This was based on reviews as I am not a G&T person. It was so tasty. I highly recommend! It tasted like a frozen Fresca. We had the calamari appetizer. For entrees, our table ordered crab cakes, sea bass and fish and chips. We all shared a little and all of it was amazing!!! Because it was my birthday, we ordered three desserts to try. The key lime cheesecake, carrot cake and the chocolate dessert. We loved all of them and each ranked them differently. I can't wait to come back!

So me, my niece, nephews, and sister came here while we were visiting family in Kansas City during the July 4th holiday. Now this is just like any other seafood bag boil spot so nothing spectacular or extraordinary about how these places work. We ordered some raw oysters which were really fresh! Then ordered our bags which I decided not to be get a big bag because I usually take it home for later. So I ordered a half a lbs shrimp, crawfish, and for the first time added ramen noodles to the bag. And man have I been missing out! I don't ever remember seeing that as an option here in the DMV. So much better than folks and those boiled eggs which I think is so nasty to eat with seafood. Our food came out all at different times and there were a few mistakes that the waiter was able to rectify the discrepancies. It was pretty empty in there so the service was fine. I did order a couple of drinks that as far as I can remember were tasty. Would we come back if back in town probably not...one and done is all I need!
