Girls night turned full blown main character moment. The DJ understood the assignment and kept the vibe going with straight Lil Kim classics all night. When I tell you we took over the spot, I mean that in the best way possible. The energy was high, the music was right, and the whole place felt like our personal party. Now let's talk food. I ordered the Crack and Peel Seafood Boil and I enjoyed it immensely. Flavor was there, portion was solid, no problems. And listen... I'm obsessed with their wings...well, wings in general lol, but theirs definitely get an A+ from me. They're always a must for me. Service was actually really good too. Staff was attentive, kept up with our group, and didn't miss a beat even with all our extra energy in the building. If you're looking for a chill, quiet dinner...this might not be your Friday or Saturday night spot. But if you want good food, a fun crowd, and a whole vibe, Hook and Reel delivered.

I don't typically like leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately my experience yesterday fell…read moreshort. I'm still fairly new to the area and had been wanting to try this location for a while, but it's usually been too busy during my previous visits. I stopped by yesterday for happy hour and ordered a seafood boil, and it ended up being one of the worst I've had. Something about it just seemed off, and the flavor was noticeably different from other locations I've visited. I'm not sure what went wrong, but it was disappointing. The only redeeming part of my visit were the happy hour drinks, which honestly made the meal a bit easier to get through. I was really hoping for a better experience and hope this was just an off day.

The pricing was excellent for the amount and quality of food we received. What really made the visit stand out was the service. Our server Jade was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed.

AMBIANCE: 10/10 The restaurant has a shipwreck theme style decor. Very much so in alignment with the type of establishment. CHECK THEM OUT if you're OBSESSED with seafood like I am :)

I want to give a cool shoutout to Amara for pointing me towards the seafood salad ( you were absolutely right Amara the seafood salad was delicious !! ) Now when it comes to the Creole Salmon ( stuffed ) this is a can't miss dish... and adding the Mac & cheese with cabbage as complementary side dishes, took the platter to another level ( so bomb.com !! ) This particular Carolina Kitchen brings its own vibe to the table... The restaurant is beautiful and definitely an establishment where you can dine in for special occasions. I'm still making my way through their out of this world Menu... so, stay tuned because there are more reviews to come. In conclusion I want to thank the two young women ( Host ) Ashley and Wendu for doing an awesome job with each customer and making sure I had everything I needed before leaving the restaurant ( Thank You !! )

The service is friendly, the ambiance is like a hole in the wall. Yet, do not judge this place by its cover. The juicy seafood will knock your socks off! I ordered 2 seafood combo platters to go with: fried oysters, fried shrimp, fried fish, and double french fries. One platter for me, and one for my Dad. Our seafood was so delicious! Seasoned to perfection! Tarter sauce and cocktail sauce on hand! Man! It hit the soul! If I go into detail too much, I am going to be over here salivating. Check this spot out! It is a unique gem! Cheers!

Let me jump straight in... I was in the mood for crabs, but wanted to try out a different location…read moreoutside of my normal spots... That's when I ran across The Crab Galley. I was intrigued by the reviews on the Cave Monster crabs ( even though I wanted something a little less daunting to enjoy my Friday evening ) I settled on the Jumbo crabs, 30pc large shrimps, crab dip ( that I could warm up at home ) and this pineapple drink concoction that ended up changing my entire perspective on what a fruit drink should taste like. The jumbo crabs were meaty and had the right amount of juiciness to them ( A- for sure ) the shrimps had that firm texture, with a cool amount of seasoning ( B+ all day ) and the pineapple juice was everything and then more... oh my, I'll go back weekly just to taste this amazing creation ( and eating the actual fruit after I finished the drink was WOW !! ) If you haven't already you have to give this juice a try ( A+++ and more !!! ) The Crab Galley is definitely my go to for my crab cravings to close out the summer...and next weekend I'm going to give the Cave Monster a try !!!!

Will the blue crab lovers please come to the front?!?…read more I ordered six of the Swamp Monsters (the largest crabs they offer), and BABYYYY... not a single crab disappointed! Every single one was heavy, full of meat, and seasoned to absolute perfection. You know that feeling when you are cracking open a crab and silently praying that it's full? There was no praying necessary because every last one of them understood the assignment. One thing I absolutely love about Crab Galley is the consistency. If you are a real blue crab lover, you have to try Crab Galley. Now, they don't have seating. You have to carry out but you will not be disappointed.

The wings were delicious. I tried the sweet and spicy sesame flavor. It leaned more sweet than spicy, but the flavor was so good. The salad was incredibly fresh. I'm usually not a fan of kale salads, but the blend was amazing, and the salmon was perfectly seasoned. The sliders were also a standout! Cooked medium well and absolutely perfect. The sweet potato fries had the perfect amount of crunch. We visited on a Monday night, so it was nice and quiet. Food was also served quickly . The restaurant itself has a really nice atmosphere, and parking is validated, which is a plus. Definitely will be back!

The crab cakes were very small, and the salmon was about the size of a small block. Even the side of spinach was served in a bowl that wasn't even filled. The wait time didn't help either--it took about 30 minutes for my salmon to arrive. After finishing my meal, I was still hungry and ended up looking for another place to eat. I really wanted to enjoy the experience, but it just didn't meet my expectations, especially for the price.

Server, too ME was very nice but VERY forgetful...like I don't require a lot Maybe because it was a Tuesday the restaurant was not very busy at all I told my server my order she sent the manager over who took my order...all I asked for was a fries shrimp basket, fried oysters - no fries, and steamed scallops in the Rock n Boss sauce - a mixture of all 3 of their sauces. Seeing as the restaurant wasn't crowded at all you would think that I would have gotten pipping hot food...nope...lukewarm at best For as long as it took me to get things last night you would have thought the restaurant was packed to capacity, nope The restaurant was clean and it is it as big as the Bowie location but we'll take it. The music was at a tasteful level...not to loud that you had to scream at other guest at your table but not so low that you would dismiss what was being played. No pics of food I'll be back because it's in my neighborhood but I hope the service is quicker

It's a fact: Mid-Atlantic Seafood can be easily overlooked for non-seafood options, ie where else in the area - or anywhere close ie New Carrolton, Landover Hills, Lanham, Seabrook, Glendale and Greenbelt - can you find at least 8 types of cake slices, 6 cheesecake flavors and 6 pies? The answer is nowhere unless you are at a grocery store or a bakery. I'll go over the types of desserts later. Any entree that comes with sides will give you 30 choices. Which of the 30 sides will you choose?! With so many dining options to choose from, do yourself a favor: flip-thru all of the menu options at the tiny menu monitor to the left of the dessert case before deciding what to eat because out of the 9 gigantic, rotating monitor menus, I didn't as easily see half of what they actually offer. Just go to the small monitor and read about all of the appetizers, salads, entrees and deserts efficiently. Alternatively, visit https://mid-atlanticseafood.com/new-carrollton/ on your phone. Seriously: aside from all of the seafood on the large monitors, you can get turkey, homemade meatloaf, barbecue chicken and ribs. As for the 30 sides to choose from, some are macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and French fries. We loved the mac-n-cheese. And the cheesy potatoes look overly rich but they are not. Really enjoyed those, too. These are classic potatoes au gratin with a bit of extra cheese and a lot of flavor. They also serve diverse varieties of other sides, including lo mein, white rice and cornbread. Not to mention the grilled vegetables, green beans, cheesy broccoli, corn and other options on the massive and never-ending steam table. On the 9 main video screens, you can get more than 7 kinds of fish and choose if you want it fried, baked or grilled. We wanted ours' baked. The waiter recommended to have it grilled because it would take less time and be more tender. We didn't listen to his advice, but he was right. Our baked fish was ok but we would love to come back and taste it grilled. The variety of fish offered is impressive, from ocean perch to salmon to tilapia to flounder to grouper to mahi mahi to whiting. You can also order crabs, snow crab legs and shrimp. Also want to try the stuffed shrimp here. When it says, "stuffed," that means with crabmeat. They have a garlic butter seafood boil here with crab legs, spiced shrimp, andouille chicken sausage, corn, etc. Meow. The chicken comes 4 ways: barbecued, fried or baked and as chicken wings. They have 3 types of pork chops: grilled, fried and smothered with gravy. Their entrees come with a choice of white bread, wheat bread, a potato roll or a slice of cornbread for an upcharge of $1.00. I didn't taste the cornbread on this visit but I'd like to, next time. One team member passionately said it was really good. We tried the mango slaw and it was good but not sweet. I heard the regular cole slaw is even better, so I would like to try that because I'm guessing it's as good as all the rest of their food we tried. I would also like to try the crab fried deviled eggs and the Cajun steamed mussels. Not to mention a lot of other dishes there! And now back to the cakes. They have so many desserts to choose from. I mean: multiple flavors of cakes, cheesecakes, pies, etc. They even have Smith Island cakes, which are a thinly-layered and stacked legendary Chesapeake Bay tradition. The current flavors are chocolate, red velvet and coconut at time of writing. We enjoyed our lemon short cake, the lemon berry marscapone cake and the mixed berry shortcake. Six different flavors of cheesecake, anyone? I'll next try the sweet potato and cinnamon cheesecake, please. They also have 6 kinds of pies including pecan, key lime and cookies and cream. The design of Mid-Atlantic Seafood is understated, clean and simple: counter service, a cold case of desserts and salads, a series of long steam table ms and a small eat-in dining area for maybe 20 people. The restrooms: clean and regularly checked. The staff are all helpful and busy. Good people serving good food! Do consider this a cafeteria, specializing in seafood with an out-of-this-world bakery.

My lunch was delicious but the smoothie wasn't as good. It was a sholet period of time from when I placed the order online un the t I went to pick my order up and the smoothie was watery. It shouldn't have been that watery and they used too much blueberry mix because it should have been more thicker than what it was. I was disappointed and it did taste like blueberries more like a sweet mixture of everything else but blueberries. I was not happy with paying almost 10 bucks for a watery smoothie!!! I started to go back and say something but I figured I would be met with resistance. Just won't order it again online maybe in person?
