I heard great things about Georgetown Seafood, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The location is fantastic, but be prepared for a challenge with parking on weekends; it took me a little extra time to find a spot. The decor has a charming New England feel. The staff were efficient and friendly, making the experience even better. We indulged in the lobster grilled cheese with hush puppies and a chilled lobster roll. Both were absolutely delicious, and the hush puppies were so good we had to order a second round. If you're a seafood lover, this place is a worth a visit. read more

Best seafood in the DC area! We especially love the Paella!! I've lived in Florida for many years and thought the seafood there was unmatched- Georgetown Seafood was equally as good! I will stop in again as I frequent the DC area quite often. read more

Another gem which I'm ecstatic to have finally visited! First, shoutout to the incredible staff!!!! Everyone was super helpful and pleasant, hospitality at its finest. However, shoutout to our waitress, Doris-she was the kindest. Seating: there is a few seating both upstairs and downstairs, with more seating outside. However, because this place is super popular you can expect each seat to be filled. Quality: I wasn't too fond of the fishy scent upon arrival but it's a seafood spot and one which provides the freshest and most delicious seafood I've had in a longggggggggg time. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese with a side of hush puppies and my boyfriend ordered a lobster roll. Hush puppies- the BEST I've had in quite some time. They were freshly made, crispy, and mixed with some honey for an added sweetness. Lobster grilled cheese sandwich: O-M-G! I'm still recovering from the amazing flavor profile in this sandwich. For starters, the Maine lobster serving was quite generous and it was fresh and buttery. The sourdough bread was beyond delicious, perfectly crisp around the edges, soft on the inside, with savory cheese oozing through the holes. The sandwich also contained sautéed spinach and tomato, making this sandwich my favorite of all time-no exaggeration! My boyfriend absolutely loved his lobster roll and from the pictures, you can once again see how generous they were with serving up those fresh lobster pieces. We ended up ordering another round of hush puppies because there was no way that we would leave without indulging in more of it. LOL I cannot wait to return again. read more

After soaking in the views of the waterfront by Georgetown waterfront park, this spot was a short walk uphill and the place I had bookmarked for lunch. I ordered the crabcake and lobster bisque for dine in. The cashier even asked me if I wanted them to serve the dishes together which was really attentive of them. I found some seating on the second floor and the staff even brought the food up to me! I know I came for the seafood but was absolutely blown away by the five star service! The staff were super king and kept asking if we needed anything the entire time we were dining in. They also proactively brought cups of water and utensils as well as an extra basket for my brother so that we could share the order. Once others are finished eating, the staff were super quick to clear and clean the tables. This is the service that all five stars or those $$$ restaurants should aspire for honestly. The crab cake was pretty decent and good for the given price. Not the best I've ever had though. The lobster bisque was also pretty good and stirring the soup seemed to enhance the seafood flavor. It was a very creamy and filling soup. Bathroom was immaculately clean and had no smell. 10 out of 10 would recommend visiting this spot if in the area! read more

I recently visited Georgetown Seafood and let me just say IT WAS AMAZING!!! The space is small and cozy, which I actually love because the customer service feels very intentional. You are literally greeted at the door and given the next steps. You order and pay first, then they seat you. We were seated upstairs, a little tight but we made it work. They immediately brought infused water to the table. YES...INFUSED. A simple touch, but it set the tone. About ten minutes, our food arrived. We shared the seafood platter with fish, shrimp, fries, cold slaw and hush puppies. It was hot, fresh, and crispy, just like we like it. But for me, the warm lobster roll was the moment. Buttery, overflowing with lobster, and the bread was perfectly toasted. It was rich without being overwhelming and full of flavor in every bite. My dad ordered the lobster bisque, which looked creamy and good but because my stomach does not always appreciate heavy cream, i stayed in my lane. He enjoyed it though, lol. Can't wait to visit again to try the crab cakes. read more

Georgetown Seafood - Lobster Roll Combo - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I immediately was greeted with a very nice smile and welcome when I arrived. It was around 3:20pm on a Tuesday so it wasn't super busy. I planned on visiting on off hours as I read from other Yelper's its small and you may have to sit outside. No way, not today. People were seated upstairs. I chose to have the downstairs to myself. I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the single crab cake, hush puppies, and potato salad. I will come back to try the Lobster roll. Today was a crabcake day. They were very nice and let me sample the coleslaw and the potato salad. They immediately got me a cup of ice water while I ordering my food because it was hot. The staff went above and beyond and you can tell the Manager, Ny, leads by example. She was training and she was awesome. The food was hot and fresh. I didn't have to add hot sauce or black pepper to anything. It was good and properly seasoned. read more

I was strolling in Georgetown and got a little hungry. I had been craving seafood but also grilled cheese and I was hoping somewhere in the area had something on the menu that combined both! Georgetown Seafood did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, the service was efficient and the food was amazing. The lobster grilled cheese was packed with gooey cheese and ample lobster, packed with flavor. The fries were perfectly crisped. I dined in and enjoyed the homey atmosphere and a lovely view of the georgetown streets. If in the area, stop in and give them a try! read more

Lovely little shop, super friendly people and service, food was overall decent but just not for me (nor is the location right off M in a busy part of georgetown). Lobster roll has a decent amount of lobster, but the lobster quality was just ok, the roll was not buttered/toasted so the texture didn't help. A solid 4-5 bites. The lobster bisque is served piping hot, very rich, nice flavor, didn't need to add the lobster on top. Came out to around $40 for this meal and was ready pretty quickly even though they were busy. read more

Stopped by Georgetown Seafood while in DC and was seriously impressed. The lobster roll was fantastic--fresh, generous, and perfectly done. It was so good that we came back again the very next day, which says everything. On top of the food, the employees were extremely nice and welcoming. Super friendly service and a great overall vibe. If you're in Georgetown and craving seafood, this spot is a must. read more

Georgetown Seafood - Hushpuppies (8) Lobster Roll Crab Cake (Double) Fries - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Best to order to go as the seating here is limited. Place is fast casual and that is the best description for the food quality. We tried the lobster bisque (topped with one bit of lobster), fried clams (boring batter), lobster roll and crabcakes. Everything was good or good enough. Oh and the coleslaw was above average. Service was great! read more

Yummy, cozy spot with outdoor seating and small indoor seating both upstairs and downstairs. The service is absolutely wonderful and pleasant. Let's see, did I like the bisque or lobster roll best??? Or the hush puppies??? Or the clam chowder??? All of it was yummy!!! Seriously glad this is where we came. Parking can be ugh but worth it. We came around 11:30 and no line. There was one by noon for sure. Will definitely hit this restaurant again!!! As a Californian I can say it as hella good lol read more

I cannot recommend the fish n chips. The fish assisted to be the frozen kind of fish sticks you can get at the market. The lobster bisque was good though! Service was alright, it was blazing hot that day and the portable ac was working overtime. read more

Pros: All the food we tried; (Warm lobster roll-lots of lobster meat, fried fish-great flavor, fried shrimp-plump, lobster bisque-good flavor, hush puppies, some of the best I have had, great tartar sauce) Extremely kind service. All the service people we encountered were kind. Outdoor seating on a nice day is great to eat your meal. Cons: Not a lot seating inside but if it's nice outside, grabbing a table outside is great. read more

This spot is definitely a hidden gem in Georgetown! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. When placing my order, I was torn between two dishes, but the lovely lady at the counter shared what the restaurant is best known for and offered excellent suggestions. She even gave me samples of the sides to help me decide, which was a thoughtful touch! I'm not usually a fan of hush puppies since I don't like corn, but these were perfectly golden and crispy with no noticeable pieces of corn. I decided on the crabcake sandwich with fries, and it was good! She mentioned it might take about 15 minutes, which I appreciated. Another kind lady came around offering ice water to guests, and the entire team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The crabcake was flavorful with lumps of crabmeat. A few fries were a bit underdone, but overall, everything else was good. that. read more

Not sure why this place has a 4.9 ratng when the food quality is not all that. The fish and oysters are over breaded. I would like to have had tasted the seafood itself and not so much the breading. The extra fees are a turn off as well. read more

Georgetown Seafood - Fried oysters - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This restaurant has been on my bucket list for years, and I was finally able to stop by to try their fish and chips. When I visited, there was only one woman working, and she was truly outstanding. Despite it being Christmas Eve, she was friendly, efficient, and incredibly kind, which made a great impression. I ordered my meal to go and was surprised to find that a small portion of fish and chips was priced at $30. While the portion size and overall meal were fair, the food did not quite meet my expectations. I requested both the fish and fries to be extra crispy; however, neither had any crispiness. Some of the fries were still cold, and the breading separated from the fish. The coleslaw was acceptable, though quite watery. I had high hopes for the food, given the restaurant's reputation. I would be open to returning in the future, as this may have simply been an off day. read more

Georgetown Seafood - Fish And Chips - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

With a hangover in head and a hankering for fried creature clusters, I came to Georgetown Seafood for the calamari and stayed for the lobster roll and clam chowder. Stylized like a seafood market of yore, the ordering process is simple. You receive a number to take to your table, which is almost a comfortable nostalgia in the age of QR codes. I elected to sit outside for the ambience (or lack thereof) of Potomac Avenue and was not disappointed. Parallel parking escapades and a perfectly timed Saturday afternoon food delivery made for horn hijinks of the highest order. Dinner and a show! The calamari came first. The portion size was decent and the breading seasoned well. Peppered and salted nicely, the squid was tender. The fried onions were a welcome edition that paired perfectly with the two sauces. Life is your oyster as you decide your fate: a bright, crisp cocktail sauce with a welcome bite or a spicy mayo or aïoli as we are supposed to say now. Up next, clam chowder and lobster roll. For me at least the ratio of clam to clam chowder is crucial and they nailed it. There was a clam or piece of clam in every bite and I wasn't even trying to maneuver my spoon. The lobster roll was so excellent. I forgot to take a picture. A soft, toasted potato roll piled high with lobster meat accented with a herbed lemon butter. Lobster rolls should feel generous, and this certainly did the trick approaching the golden ratio of one-to-one bread/meat. If I was older, or had more money to spend, I would be back more often. It is a pricey, as everything these days and I should make better financial decisions than dying full of the sea and empty of the wallet. That said, the sea calls and worth the try! read more

Came here around 5:30ish and wasn't busy besides take-out orders, and got greeted immediately. Came as a party of four and ordered the crab cake sandwich with his puppies and potato salad, lobster roll with hush puppies (no bread, Gluten-Free allergy), fish and chips with hush puppies and potato salad, and salmon sandwich with hush puppies. The salmon was great, wish it had just a bit more seasoning on the actual fish, but that's probably because I like to have quite a bit of seasoning on my own food. However, their special sauce was fantastic, I wish I could bathe in it! The hush puppies were fantastic as well, had a great crisp and crunch on the outside and the inside had great flavor. I could've filled up on those by themself as a meal. The fish and chips were yummy, the perfect crunch with the breading and the inside was super moist and super tender. The potato salad was sweet but delicious. The crab cake sandwich was good as well. Hardly any complaints on the food, except that it wasn't enough hush puppies! It did come with about 6-7 on your plate, but again, with them and that special sauce it could've been a whole meal. The inside of the restaurant is small. They have indoor seating on the first and second floor (stairs only) and outdoor seating. The inside has the feeling of being in a unique place, with different ocean-fishing items around the walls. read more

Such a great staff working here, very nice and eager to help you. The lobster roll was a bit on the small side, but definitely more affordable (especially for Georgetown) and certainly delicious. I got mine with a side of hush puppies and was very happy. They even came out to offer us some lollipops afterwards lol. Sweet people here, give it a try! read more

Georgetown Seafood - Maine Lobster Roll Combo - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Visiting DC for the weekend and stopped here for lunch when we were in Georgetown! Super happy we walked in since my friend had it on his list for a while. The seafood was all super fresh and the service was excellent as well. We sat on the second floor and they consistently would come over to fill our waters and even offered us candy after the meal. I definitely will be thinking about this place after the trip. Crab Cakes: So much crab inside! Probably some of my favorite crab cakes - loved that it was mostly crab and not dough. The sauce and coleslaw both paired well. We got hushpuppies as our side, which were delicious and tasted like mini corndogs but with corn inside instead of meat. Fish and Chips: Might be my favorite thing we had. Even better than the ones I've had in London. The fish was so crispy and thick on the outside yet so soft and fresh on the inside. I don't normally enjoy fish and chips either, but I really liked it here. Mayo Lobster Roll: A bit smaller than expected, but really delicious and paired well with the buttery bun! Would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the mood for seafood :) read more

Oh Yeah! What a Gem. Such a cool old spot in Georgetown. First the service, Awesome. We were greeted at the door and given a menu and said we could order at the counter when ready. Zay took our order and gave us the perfect recommendations. My husband and I opted for the Lobster roll with warm butter which we shared- but yes, I admit I should have gotten my own! The lobster was So tender and the bun was perfect and not too much butter. The hush puppies they were a must try per Zay and she wasn't kidding! And for dessert we had Clam Chowder because it was piping hot so we had to wait till the end to eat it. Totally worth it. Creamy and delicious. Every bite was beyond yummy. I wish I was in town one more day because I would have gone back again. Definitely check them out and tell Zay to ring that bell. read more

This seafood spot is tucked away just off the main Georgetown bustle. They offer a bunch of items, but given the proximity to Maryland, I went with the crab cake. This is a high-quality crab cake, for sure. There were pieces of meat almost as big as my thumb in there, and I have no idea how they managed to keep it all lumped together. The Old Bay seasoning amps up the flavor, and it comes with a nice serving of hot fries too. It is expensive, but it's worth it as a treat, I think. read more

Super tasty, super fresh seafood! It's a little pricey for such a laid-back spot, but honestly--you get what you pay for. Pro tip: sit outside. The indoor space is a bit cramped and not exactly the freshest-smelling vibe. I tried the piña colada--wasn't quite what I expected, but it looked amazing and packed a punch. Like, wow. Strong! We went with the crab cake combo, fried oysters, and fried shrimp. Everything came out hot and fast. The staff was super friendly, and the cherry on top? They came around after the meal with a little bowl of candy. Who doesn't love a surprise sweet treat? read more

Rating: 4.5 03/2025 RESTAURANT: The space is very small, but very inviting and clean. The first floor was said about 12 people and upstairs probably 8. The aesthetic stayed true to the seafood theme. Menu is small and not overwhelming. Restroom is clean on the second floor. Patio seating available. SERVICE: Despite the rainy day, the vibe was so light and positive. I'm so glad we came early because as soon as we got our seats, everybody pouring coming in. Antonio was such a ray of sunshine, make sure you go say hi. The staff behind the counter even wanted to be in my check-in photo and I appreciated that. Thanks to them, I ordered more than I intended. Antonio and the rest of the staff checked on us several times. And he even offered us some candies and held the door open as we exited the restaurant. FOOD: Been in the city for three days and I have been looking forward to this. We had fish and shrimp platter with coleslaw and fries, and of course the warm lobster roll with mayo and hushpuppies. I waited about 10 minutes and it was party time. The platter came with four shrimp and two pieces of fish. The fries were crispy, well seasoned and so good. The coleslaw was wet in its sauce, has a slight crunch and not too sweet. The shrimp were a good size if you can see the big chunk of meat within the light crispy batter. The fish were fried to a crisp and cooked perfectly. Their hush puppies were the best I've ever had! It was moist and flavorful and pieces of corn. I only wish they gave us 10 more! Now for the warm lobster roll... I probably could have eaten three. The sandwich is the size of an average hotdog bun. The bread was slightly toasted with huge chunks of lobster meat piled on top of it. It was terrific. I ate it slow as I did not want it to end. Overall, this was a wonderful experience. I read many negative feedbacks prior to visiting but I'm really glad that I checked it out for myself. It is pricey... we ordered two things and a drink plus tip and paid $75. Lobster rolls are generally not cheap and I went to restaurants near the tourist spot and a roll cost more. With seafood the price point is always going to be high and I was prepared for that. I am glad that quality and taste were on point. I think the small and homey vibe of this place makes it more appealing. Highly recommend! read more
