Don't get the crabcakes!

Don't understand why this rating was anything other than dismal. No lump crabmeat in any of three cakes; threads of crab like what's left after lumps are gone. Too much filling, and fried to an inch of their lives! Unlike the scallops I got, which were cooked but were pale white circles with no sign of a grill. The shrimp were also white but at least nicely butterflied. No dips. Ride had hard pellets as if scraped from the bottom of the pan. Salad lettuce nice dark green but cut as if spaghetti, with other elements too small to identify. Hush puppies acceptable; no more, served with melted butter?!? For this we paid over $80, with tip; service was fine. Way overpriced. Won't return.

Great food and atmosphere at a reasonable price

"Beach shack" is an extremely accurate moniker for this joint. Lots of casual seafood dishes with an unusually large selection of vegan meals as well. The bar area is a nice place to unwind. The restaurant portion - both indoors and out - is pleasant enough, although it's usually packed with young families (ie. little kids) from about 6-8PM or so. Even so, the outdoor tables are a good place to re-create a beachlike experience. Great addition to Falls Church!
