I visited Becky's seafood house this week and customer service was great, the restaurant was very clean and spacious, they had people cleaning the tables in between every guest. Seating is limited. They are mostly carryout style so there may only be about 4 tables. I tried a few things from the menu. The crab boil was different for me. It was more spice forward instead of butter forward with the sauce, not really my preference when I want a seafood boil. The crab egg rolls were decent. I wasn't a big fan of the mayo based sauce it was covered in. The Rasta pasta had a good flavor, saucy, chicken was tasty but it was very sweet. Not really a preference of mine. The hush puppy's were a bit over cooked but still a decent flavor I also really enjoyed their hand-cut fries . Their triple mix and half and half's were really good also. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I saw videos on instagram and I had really high hopes for Becky's seafood but I was a bit let down. We walked in on Memorial Day and they weren't that busy. The customer service was nonexistent and orders are placed on a kisok. They have two I think, maybe 3. They list out the items with no pictures or much of a description of what you get with each. I ended up ordering the shrimp po boy for $18 and the whiting sandwich also for $18 I believe. 30 minutes later our food arrived. Luckily one of the 4 tables opened so my wife and I were able to get a seat. They do have 4 tables with two chairs for each table. This is more of a carryout type of place so don't expect to find a table unless you're hovering around waiting. We sat inside to eat and to our surprise the Sandwhichs came with fries. The shrimp po boy was ok. A good amount of shrimp but little to no seasoning. A little bit of lettuce and tomato and some sauce. It wasn't really remoulde sauce. It didn't have much flavor either. The bread was good. The Sandwhich was a basic but ok. The fries were crispy crispy. Almost to hard crispy. My wife had the whiting sandwich and preferred just the fish as the bread was different. Way to thick and overshadowed the fish. Her fries were also crispy as well. She saw they had banana pudding and snuck that in when she grabbed two half and half's. The banana pudding is made without bananas and crushed wafers inside. One spoonful and the trash can it went. The wafers were a bit stale. Overall this was a one and done for me. I wish them well but the food lacks flavor and consistency. Customer service is nonexistent so I really don't have a need to return. read more

I had high hopes for this place! First, I called to place an order for pick up because the order online function was not working. The greeter states they can't take orders over the phone. I stated that there's an issue with their website and it says to call online. She has no idea when it is going to come back up. Say we can order through Uber Eats or DoorDash and I told her we're not paying the extra fees associated with that. My coworkers and I decided to drive there and place our order. We walk in and the cashier just looks at us. She does not greet. We are standing waiting to order. A few minutes later we look over and see they have a kiosk to order yourself... the cashier could've stated that rather than just have us standing around. We place our order and then went back to the car to wait. There was a smell of sewage coming from the back of the restaurant near the kiosk. Once the order is ready I get them. Get to the car they forgot an order of fish but were kind enough to cook it and hand it over. We get to work and we are ready to take our food! it was BLAND!!!! We got 3 orders of crb eggrolls and they were not it! The crab meat was not seasoned. It tasted artificial. There was no lump crab meat. Just shreds. Then they wrapped it with maybe 4-5 eggrolls sheets why would you ever need that many??? So that made it doughy instead of a crisp. The sauce that's on top just tastes like mayo. No seasoning. 10/10 don't recommend. Fried whiting was fried crispy. That was good but again it lacked seasoning. The salmon with lump crab over a bed of rice.... Again lacked seasoning. Salmon was over cooked. And presentation is everything. read more

I knew this place would be good when I walked past it on my way to Lidl shortly after it opened. I made a note to go back, and I'm glad that I did! This is a new establishment that seems to be growing quickly and maybe experiencing the blessing and curse of rapid growth. Be patient with them as they navigate the business. It might give carry out vibes, but it has restaurant wait times for the food. That being said, the food here is FILLED, I repeat FILLED with flavor! I got the catfish basket and subbed garlic broccoli for the fries, but they gave me the fries by mistake. I also got a side of hush puppies. Those hush puppies are good enough to make stop talking and offer them to your friend to taste because someone else has to experience the joy you experienced when first tasting them. I highly recommend getting them! Just an FYI that the hush puppies are on the sweeter side and very crispy on the outside, and soft in the center. Dare I say they're dangerous because you'll eat all of them and want more before you know it. The catfish is fried well and a great texture. The batter is a little too salty for me. However, it's flavorful and not spicy. The fries were also excellent! I do not recommend the garlic broccoli, it was very forgettable. Pass! My friend got the boil with crab legs and lobster tail with all the mix 'em all option and mild. FLAVOR! The mild wasn't spicy at all to me, but I'm Ghanaian so my spice tolerance is borderline illegal. The only negative is that there is so much sauce in the boil, so her garlic noodles were drenched. I'll be back to get a boil for myself and I'll get hot. I recommend this place and bear with them as they grow and evolve. read more

The food was cooked in old grease. I could see it and taste it. I ordered fried whiting fish on a wilted bed of lettuce with crab stuffed egg rolls, hush puppies and crab friends. Every was cooked in the same grease. Very disappointed read more

Becky's Seafood offers various starters, sandwiches, seafood boils, and entrees, and we tried them out for a carryout. Our group ordered: +the Crab Cake Egg Rolls +Crab Poppers +a Salmon Shrimp Cheesesteak +a Fried Fish Sandwich - you can opt for catfish or whiting, in which we went for the latter +the Rasta Pasta - served with jerk chicken +a couple of seafood boils - with snow crab, shell-on shrimp, corn, and potatoes; one of the bags, we went with Miss Becky's Classic (a mix of DC Love, OG Cajun, Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper, and Becky's Caribbean Love), and one with the OG Cajun +a side of Sweet Biscuits +a side of Garlic Noodles +and, a side of Pepper Jack White cheddar Mac Their items were generous and well-loaded; the sauces were tasty. I'd love to try their Cinnamon Rolls on the next lunch run! Staff were friendly; note that orders could take a while, as there are lot of online and pickup orders taking place. Metered street parking can be found in the area. +generous portions +friendly staff +metered street parking available read more

I normally don't do reviews on any type of service, but this one was a must. I walking to the restaurant and the place looked like they were not working and in the back chilling. I finally was able to order my food five minutes after I walked in. was very rudely greeted by the cashier. I ordered the seafood bowl. added two eggs, but I happen to have tea. The wait was ridiculous. I waited about 45 minutes for my food, once I receive my food, it took an additional 10 minutes just to get my drink. The food is pretty decent. I'll give the food a 7.5 out of 10 definitely wasn't worth the wait. you guys can approve the service and be a lil more faster read more

I was in DC this weekend and me and my family went. Food was on point!!! I had the stuffed salmon with the crab meat and shrimp. Wife and daughter had crab cake burger and fries. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SPOT!! read more

I'll start by saying the only good thing on this plate was the lemon wedge, I kid you not. Kept seeing the spot on my timeline so I decided to go in with my partner. We walked in and ordered through the kiosk (total of 4 other customers were present, 6:30pm). Her, the fried fish plate and I, the salmon shrimp cheesesteak, taking a total of 10-15 min. As we grab the bag and were leaving, one of the 4 customers that were present before we got there came back to the store with her big bag of food she had order looking very upset and frustrated. That honestly should have been foreshadow as to what I should've looked forward to when i got home (10 mins away!!) ---- We get home, unpack the food and proceeded to tried the food. Off the first bite, my partner looks towards me and says the fish is fried hard. I tried it myself... and that fish was HARDDD, bland, no flavor and so were her fries. My plate, same thing. The bread was chewy like it was literally microwaved (not the industrial, like an at home microwave). The sandwich also lacked flavor. Though everything looked well seasoned and sauced, I guarantee you everything was just so lackluster, bland, and flavorless. Honest waste of my money and gas. And the sauces... flavorless, terrible read more

I ordered the fried catfish basket to come with fries and Cole slaw $19. The fish was ok but it could've been real good if it wasn't packed on top of fries...both were soggy. Perhaps moisture seeped in from hot fish grease not being separated by parchment paper in closed container? Fries were not tasty and there was no slaw. I know it's a new establishment with potential....I'll try them again. read more

I definitely recommend this spot. The food was really good. I got a seafood boil, my friend also got one, and another friend got a shrimp poboy and crab fries. The poboy comes with fries so no need for the crab fries. You can probably ask them to stuff the fries with the crabs they put on the crab fries. My boil was kinda salty though, I couldn't finish it. I got the old bay poboy. My friends said that her sandwich was good but the brioche bun wasn't up to her standard. The other seafood boil was perfect. We ordered online and picked it up. Service was great! The ambiance was calm and DC-like. Check it out for yourself! read more

This is more of like a takeout restaurant. There are kiosks for you to order and there are a few chairs to sit and eat but most people sit there to wait for their food. The staff wasn't rude but they weren't really friendly...they just were! They gave a lot of food but the sauce was extremely salty to me. The broccoli was overcooked but the corn and potatoes were cooked to perfection! Hold off on the broccoli but definitely get extra corn!! I would suggest they just work on their recipe for their boil sauce! read more

I want to give them a better review because I do think they have potential. The first time i tried it in May the food was great and I've been chasing that experience ever since. I've ordered from here about 5 times since then and the quality has been inconsistent. The hush puppies especially, they're either fried too hard or doughy and undercooked. Also the salt content is too much. I couldn't even finish the garlic noodles in my recent order. I liked the crab egg rolls the first time, but since then you can tell they are reheated, and sometimes delivered cold or room temp. read more

First, thank you. The food is on par and above with some of the top restaurants in the area for carry out and delivery. Your seafood boil with bib and wipes is an added bonus. I feel you get your money worth of food by far. read more

these is some shitty ass restaurant. They need to be cooking this food to the homeless because their food is nasty as fuck. I in this this location, lamb chop, and corn my mouth swollen the way they make the name online so sweet but restaurant some shit the food is so so nasty. Please don't come to the restaurant go somewhere else they're food nasty so bad. The food is not good. They don't got good cook read more

The food was better than expected. The quality was great and the quantity was great. The sandwiches were actual stuffed with protein and peppers. The egg rolls were flavorful and tasty. The fries were thick and not too salty. The ambience was decent. It was a clean environment. The service was fine. All and all I was pleased with the experience. I'll definitely go back. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 because the parking situation is troublesome as the establishment is located on a Main Street. And the timeliness of the food coming out. It took about 25-30 mins at 11:30 am. read more
