Coastal Flats is a solid spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The atmosphere is bright and modern, with a relaxed coastal vibe that makes it easy to hang out for a while. The menu has a good variety of seafood and coastal-inspired dishes. I ordered the Pecan Crusted Trout that had candied pecans sprinkled on top of the trout. The trout was fresh and well-prepared.
I've walked past this restaurant for many years. I finally decided to give a try. It's the middle of the afternoon around. I stopped in for lunch and had a Greek salad with salmon very very hungry even though I am not full. It was a wonderful tasty salad not too much dressing. Salmon had wonderful. Tasty glaze. Salmon was prepared perfectly a bit on the expensive side, one of the things I like about this restaurant in this hotel, it is very bright inside. Great to do work. There are a number of people with the laptops open discussing business. I had to make a number of work related calls. Highly recommended because of this new restrooms inside this restaurant they're actually a short walk in the hotel lobby, but they're extremely clean. Parking is in the Mall parking lot which is covered. It's a bit of ways from Parking, but I will be returning. My server was actually the bartender. The bar was located far away from our seating, but he was quite attentive. No other servers were in the restaurant when I arrived.
Enjoyed lunch with co-workers on Halloween. This is a family-friendly, casual dining restaurant inside Tyson's Corner Mall. If you enter the parking deck near the Hyatt Hotel with Coastal Flats listed at the entrance, you will have a very short walk! Alternatively, it's downstairs from the movie theatre and food court. We ordered calamari, buffalo chicken dip, and blue crab & shrimp fritters. For mains, we had ribeye steaks and chicken salad. Everything was good, except the calamari was very oily. The restaurant was quiet, clean, and welcoming. Our server was kind, and overall we had a pleasant experience.
I went to Coastal Flats for a solo lunch. I kind of had an idea of what I already wanted to order. I was greeted by one person and gave my order to them but then someone else came over and asked if I wanted anything else. The second waiter started talking about the specials but they were so soft spoken it was hard to hear. If you try any of the great American restaurants and they have Ozzie rolls, get them ! They are delicious. I ordered the fish fingers which came with fries and coleslaw. I am not a fan of coleslaw. I should have asked if they could sub that out for something else. My waitress came by once after I got my food to see how it was. I ended up not finishing my meal because I was full from the delicious Ozzie rolls. However my waitress walked past several times and did not interact with me or ask if I needed anything else. I waited 20 minutes before I had to stop her and ask for my check and a box. Not sure if it's worth coming back based on lack of service.
When we come to Tyson's Corner Center to dine, we go to Seasons 52 which is directly across from Coastal Flats, but decided today to check out Coastal Flats for the first time. We arrived at Coastal Flats for lunch at noon on a weekday. We were greeted by friendly people at the host's stand, and were seated fairly quickly. The vibe and decorating is rather similar to Cheesecake Factory. Service from the food runners was very good. Our server did a reasonably adequate job, but there was one thing curious about him. He dropped off the check on our table without a word, picked up our credit cards without a word and dropped our cards and receipts on the table without a word. No thank you or anything. The best deal on the menu has to be the Community bread assortment that goes for a mere $1. That $1 is donated by the restaurant to helping people obtain housing. The assortment was a nice variety and of a generous quantity. The seasoned soft butter that came with the bread was good. We both ordered the Pecan Crusted Trout. The trout was fresh and good. The portion size was large. I was a little surprised that the pecans were not crumbles of pecan pressed into then trout, but instead, whole candied pecans sprinkled atop the trout. The broccolini that came with the trout was good though some of the thicker pieces were undercooked. I think we'll come back, but we prefer Seasons 52 across the corridor.
Outstanding service and amazing food and drinks! I had the classic mojito and it came with a sugar cane strip which was classy and nice! Love coastal flats and there employees
First time going there, I believe the menu should be more though there was enough on it. It didn't have enough variety. The food was fresh and hot and the service was well. It was very dark inside the area, which made it hard to see.
Coastal Flats = rolls so warm and buttery you almost cry. Service was quiet but efficient--like a ninja who takes your order without judgment. Everyone in our party had very specific food quirks, and they handled it like pros. After a long travel day, I inhaled my warm goat cheese salad like it owed me money. Clean, cozy, and perfect for fast-but-fancy refueling.
07/03/2026 at 7:30 PM. Our 4th time visit-- Disappointed--Food was just OK--service was bad--Reservation was delayed 15 minutes due to a confused hostess--Very busy--waitress was unfriendly--poker face--neglected bread after 2 tables after us received bread--then said bread was cooking--a floor manager brought bread just as she said this--Steak was poor grade quality and too much salt--beef ribs were over cooked, stringy and too much sugar--Recommend buy prime meat and smoked beef ribs need no sugary sauce. Also, unsweet iced tea was cloudy and strange taste soured.
Walked in on Father's Day and went to the bar! Service was fantastic and so was the food. If you love SWEET TEA, GET IT! It's so damn good and baby their mango margarita! Oh my lawd! Take a sip of boffum! For me :)
I honestly did not expect outstanding service like this. We had reservations for 5:30 PM and it took longer than usual to get seated for a party of 5 but then again it was Mother's Day... When we walked past other servers and employees we were greeted with soft hospitality, "Welcome! Enjoy your meal.. thank you for coming." I mean I was impressed with this top scale service. The seats and table was glistening they sure do keep the place as clean as possible. I had the crispy fish tacos and they were indeed crispy/ crunchy, paired well with the habanero slaw. No complaints, overall it was a delightful experience.
The ambiance was nice and the staff are very attentive. The food here was pretty typical. Crab cake sliders were good, lobster wasn't overcooked, got the shrimp cocktail and wish the shrimp was smaller bites but no issue there. I was kinda disappointed in the pecan trout, to me, it felt heavily dependent on the sauce to give it flavor and the crust was okay.
I lost count how many times I been here since I frequent Tyson's mall so often and it's one of the few good restaurants there. The food is good but I feel like there isn't alot of variety because I always scan the menu but often go back to what I usually order. The service is great, looks to be a lot of young servers grinding. The ambiance is what you expect it.

Obsessed with the bread and butter! It's the best. The southwest egg rolls are also delicious with the avocado dipping sauce. Perfect slight spice. Service is good. Go, enjoy! read more
Worked up an appetite shopping this afternoon and decided to have lunch here. It wasn't too busy and if my cousin wasn't with me I would've loved to just sit at the bar... For a holiday, the mall wasn't too busy so that was a plus! We were welcomed and seated right away. The music playing wasn't too loud. Perfect vibes for an afternoon lunch with my cousin/niece. Today I went with the salt and pepper shrimp roll and my niece ordered the bacon cheeseburger with extra pickles. She enjoyed her burger and my shrimp was seasoned perfectly. The rolls were a bit undercooked this afternoon, and my Mango Martini was just like I remembered...yummy! Our server was welcoming and attentive. He suggested I try the Mango Mojito. Just may have to take him up on that next time. Until next time...Happy Yelping! read more

I was honestly expecting a little more from this place! The Jambalaya Pasta I had was satisfactory, but I was hoping for a stronger spice from it, especially since this place was a bit expensive for my taste (i will say i am not used to DMV prices at all). Service, however, was fantastic, with waiters going above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied with my meal and topping off my water. Seldom have I seen waiters be so attentive and courteous. This establishment is quite large, and the lighting is dim, yet perfectly bright enough! This place is versatile (and large), so you could have a large get-together here, as well as a nice quiet date! Great all-occasion establishment. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was good. We were quickly seated, and we ordered ozzie rolls. They came out hot, but honestly, I feel like I've had better - They were kind of hard. We got the calamari and it wasn't super crunchy. Again the other great American places are a little better. Got the classic roast chicken salad that comes with avocado and it was great. But also super simple and hard to mess up. Overall, a great experience, but would go to another great American restaurant instead, such as Patsy's across the street. This is an easy convenient spot if you're shopping. read more
Had a great experience! The bartender Stephanie and Wesley were both very helpful and friendly. The beef ribs were delicious, and the deviled eggs made a great appetizer. I highly recommend checking this place out if you've never been you won't be disappointed!! read more

My wife and I came in today (a Saturday afternoon). We are HUGE fans of the Great American Restaurants group. Carlyle is our go-to (11/10), Mikes American is wonderful (9/10), and Silverado (10/10) never disappoints. But we'll never visit Coastal Flats ("CF") again. CF was pretty busy so we ordered quickly: a CF lager, a cocktail, the community bread basket, the fritters as an appetizer, crab cakes, and a grilled chicken & havarti sandwich. Based on a recommendation, we REALLY wanted to try the fritters appetizer. Unfortunately, our entrees came out after the bread basket and we never had a chance to try the fritters... our multiple servers (their operating model) totally forgot about it and we never received the item. The butter for the bread basket was half liquid when we received it. The chicken sandwich was bland. The lager wasn't anything special. Crab cakes were as good as they should have been... for the market price of $36. But how do you totally forget about one of our orders? The staff tried to fix this by offering a free round of drinks or a dessert, but we already had enough to drink and the limited dessert menu only has three items. Hats off to the staff for offering, but with so many servers/staff constantly buzzing around and checking every table, why did this even happen? Nobody is perfect. Well, Mike's American, Silverado, and (the AMAZING) Carlyle are close. Compared to those restaurants in the same portfolio, Coastal Flats in the Tysons Mall is unbecoming of a Great American Restaurants establishment. We were disappointed and won't return. We suggest to everyone who has invested the time to read my review: go to any other of the Great American Restaurants, but SKIP Coastal Flats at the Tysons Mall as they might SKIP putting in one of your orders. read more
A good experience overall with the prompt and friendly service to the tasty dishes! We made a reservation while shopping and by the time we reached the restaurant, we were able to check in and be seated within 10 minutes. Reservations are highly recommended as there was a lot of people waiting. An open setting with a nice bar area surrounded by TVs with many seating of mostly booths. We opted for the lobster roll, kids cheeseburger, and the drunken ribeye...all was prepared fresh and was delicious! Will be back again. Enjoy! read more
I've been to Coastal Flats many times. I usually get the salmon or ribs - great choices. However, today as I waiting for my friend, I started looking at Yelp pictures and came across the Coastal Shrimp Roll and said that looks good. I love shrimp and was disappointed. I asked for the roll minus the roll:) We had an early dinner around 3:30pm and the restaurant was pretty empty. Also, for dessert, our amazing waitress Whitney surprised us with the black tie mousse cheesecake. Yummy! We were torn between the cheesecake and bread pudding, so we just asked Whitney to surprise us! The cheesecake is for a limited time so if you're there, please check it out. Also, you can never go wrong with the Ozzie rolls. read more
I was trying to find the Tysons Coastal Flats location but I couldn't so this is the one I chose (but I went to that location!). I have been here two times now and I can confirm that this place is so good and seemingly consistently good! I ended up getting a daily special appetizer which was a corn and queso dip with tortilla chips. It was packed with spice and flavor and the chorizo on top was a great addition! I was excited to try it. We also of course got the Ozzie rolls and those are always stellar. I could eat a billion baskets of those to be honest. For lunch I got two fish tacos. The slaw was with habanero and wasn't too spicy, but definitely a nice compliment to the crispy fish. Also $14 for two of these and the sweet potato fries is such a good deal. And I couldn't even finish! Everything came out super fast and our server, Wes, was so unbelievably attentive. He made sure my Diet Coke was filled up (refilling without asking which is such a green flag). He made sure the food was good and gave some great suggestions! Secondly, the vibe here is awesome. The decor is so coastal and cute which reminds me of the beaches back home. Good lighting and comfy booths. I would totally come back again after shopping in the mall! read more

The food at all the Great American restaurants are always delicious! The service this round was stellar with a waiter who really took an extra step to check our food did not include anything we were allergic too! We sat inside the restaurant at the booth which has comfortable seating and beautiful ambiance. We started with the must-have deviled eggs which comes with brown sugar bacon to die for! The Salmon warm goat cheese salad is always winner! read more

Went here for the first time and loved it! I will be back many more times. This reminds be of on or my favorite restaurants and the Ozzie rolls with the poppyseeds is mwahhhh and a cherry on top! I had the crab cakes spinach and mashed Potatoes. We also had fish and fries. I have the mango pineapple martini and OMG get that. I would come back the the martini alone. Our service was great and it's really spacious and nice inside. read more

Quick stop to refuel while shopping. We did not have to wait to be seated on a busy Memorial Day. The food, service, and atmosphere are excellent. My pineapple mojito could have been a mocktail because it had no liquor. The bread is a MUST. The shrimp and crab cake appetizer was delish. read more

Coastal Flats...busy, noise level high. In the mall and plenty of seating but expect a wait unless you're eating at the bar. Service: From the host to the waitress the service was polite, professional and helpful. Food: My daughter LOVED "the fish fingers", I had the shrimp roll. It was good, the shrimp were seasoned perfectly and the sauce with it took the shrimp to the next level. My recommendation, if you're hungry don't get this or order an appetizer with it because it's small. The only complaint I have is that the fries are a bit too salty, don't get me wrong slat on fries delicious but in this case hold the salt chef...that arm was a bit too heavy on the salt. I would visit again but wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Overall, I recommend the place. My recommendation make a reservation, and ask about portion size. read more
This is a cute date night spot! The booths are intimate and the lighting is dim. Our server was exceptionally attentive and she kept a smile on her face the entire time! We ordered the deviled eggs for starters. I really wished we ordered two because I desired more than the 3 I had! I savored every bite of the sweet & spicy bacon along with the jicama filled deviled egg filling. We also ordered the pasta primavera with chicken and shrimp. I ordered mine spicy. I took one bite and unfortunately I had to send it back. There was an abnormal amount of crushed red peppers in the dish, to the point that I counted at least 10 flakes in one forkful. They recooked my dish but forgot to add my chicken. The waitress had the chef grill some chicken and I added it to the dish. It wasn't very well seasoned and it needed more sauce. When I return, I will be ordering my own order of deviled eggs and another main course. read more

Coastal Flats Tysons Corner this restaurant has consistently high-quality food and great service. My recent favorite appetizer is a special and it is two fried green tomatoes slices with guacamole and a savory shrimp salad on top That's what's in the photo.. Another wonderful thing on the menu is the warm white chocolate and bourbon caramel bread pudding with ice cream. Also pictured. Frankly any Great American restaurant is really outstanding. South Florida coast vibe is also neat read more
