I have gone to Fatbelly's a few times for crabs and once for shrimp. The crab quality has always…read morebeen very solid and the prices are very fair, perhaps the best in the Stafford / King Georges area at the time I purchased. This is a no-frills crab shack, supported by the family fishermen. If you are looking to get a firm crab order for what you are looking for at the right price - seasoned how you lie it (they ask) - then Fatbelly's is the place for you. I will making my return trip soon! Two thumbs up!

And the food is truly real. Don't worry about the price. For a comparable meal at McDonalds, Halls Supermarket will be less. And the drink selection is the best in town. Mexican Coca-Cola, Mr.Pibb, various hard to find drinks, all here. The environment is friendly with a mix of locals and transplants. The outside may look discreet but what counts is whats on the inside! And inside there is wholesome and goodness. Some place warm 'n fuzzy and somewhere to stick your head in. It's a true full service grocery store unique and one of a kind. There's only one Halls Supermarket and we're lucky to have it. I've always heard there are people who come here from miles around. I'm a believer.

Huge fan of Hall's!…read more We make sure to make a stop or even go on a mini trip to stop by for their chicken salad, found in their deli section in the back. The chicken salad is one of the best I've had - it's shredded chicken that dressed well, and perfect on a Martin's cocktail roll; if you're lucky, you'll find Tom's Hot Fries in the chip aisle, and this makes a great pairing! The staff here are kind and friendly, and the place is usually patronized by the locals. Usually during the summer months, they feature local businesses, which set up tents right outside. Large parking lot with ample parking available. +delicious chicken salad! +Tom's Hot Fries +friendly service +ample parking

Pearson's Seafood was a huge disappointment. They pre-cook the crabs and reheat them when you…read moreorder, which results in the meat being mushy, tasteless, and overcooked. Honestly, you can't even tell if the crabs were overdone or if they were dead before cooking. On top of that, they advertise "jumbo" crabs, but they're really just large. Very misleading. If you know and love fresh local crabs, save your money; this isn't the place. SMH. Well, I purchased a pound of jumbo shrimp, and they were good. They are cooked to order!

The food was mostly ok (flounder and rock fish sandwiches). However, the soft shell crab with baked potato was lacking--the baked potato was great but the crab was overwhelmed by the batter covering. While everything was cooked well, I thought the fish needed more Olde Bay spiciness. The star was the hush puppies which seemed to be well seasoned. We'll try somewhere else on our next trip to CB.

Pros:Definitely the best spot in Colonial Beach for live entertainment. The MashUp band is great…read more Cons:The food is mediocre overall. The hostess said she would come find us when a table opened in the main entertainment area, but she never did. The marinated chicken on my salad was tasty, but it was the only good part--the salad itself was very basic, consisting of just lettuce and croutons. The buffalo wings were rubbery and not extra crispy as requested; the server even asked when she delivered them if they were crispy enough, so the request clearly wasn't forgotten. We ordered 10 but could only eat 2, and the rest were thrown away. The hush puppies were just okay, but they were small and dried out easily, needing butter to add both flavor and moisture. Overall:A fun spot for live music and atmosphere, but the food and service miss the mark. Come for the entertainment, not the dining experience.

She was friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything we needed. The food was great as well. The pizza was a little greasy, but it was still delicious and everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Honestly, I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews because our experience was fantastic. What really stood out was the customer service. One person in our group accidentally left their glasses behind, and Jocelyn actually ran outside and chased us down to make sure we got them back. That level of care is rare these days. Overall, great food, excellent service, and an experience that exceeded expectations. Huge shoutout to Jocelyn--20/10 service!

Food was alright, burgers were cooked perfectly medium well.. could use a bit more seasoning but they gave a good portion of toppings and condiments on side to make it your own way! They have indoor and outdoor seating and a very large bar. They have a stage for live music. Don't come here expecting a high quality seafood place, that is not what this place is. Pick options that you'd enjoy everywhere and I think you'd be fine! Plus take in the views while here and just sit and enjoy.
