    I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I found it on my way to the airport because they had blue crabs. The seasoning was on point. The bartender was cool (forgot his name). Beer on tap was good. It wasn't too pricey. It looks like an old crab house so that was fine. Seating was available indoor and outdoor with a covered patio. Not much decor but who needs that when you have good crabs? I'd definitely return when in in the area.

    Amazing!!! This place is the OG of seafood! I ordered blue crab which is local and they were delicious. Meat was sweet and tender. They cook live crab to order. My friends ordered snow crab legs and they loved it too. We also had crab cakes, local oysters and hush puppies - all amazingly delicious. Our waiter was helpful, taught me how to open and get to the crab meat quickly. Love the environment with picnic tables outdoor plus a bar indoor. It's a must visit when you are in DC or Virginia.

    We stopped by Quarterdeck on a Saturday around 1:30 p.m., and the place was packed. We had reservations for indoor seating and were seated right on time. The restaurant has a huge patio, and they were even adding extra tables outside the enclosed patio to accommodate the weekend crowd. Inside, there's a bar with a few two-top tables, while the main dining room is a bit smaller and can feel cramped when it's busy. Downstairs you'll find additional seating, the restrooms, and even a few pinball machines. The drink menu is impressive, with a wide selection of cocktails, plenty of draft and bottled beers, plus pitchers and beer buckets if you're with a group. If you're coming for the blue crabs, plan ahead--they take about 45 minutes to cook. We ordered a dozen oysters while we waited for our dozen XL crabs, and it was the perfect appetizer. I loved that you can mix and match oysters by the half dozen to try different varieties with varying sizes and salinity. They were incredibly fresh and flavorful, needing nothing more than a squeeze of lemon or a little cocktail sauce. Between the dozen oysters and the dozen XL crabs, it was more than enough food for two people. Service was fantastic despite how busy they were. Yesica checked on us throughout the meal and even stopped by because she thought our oysters hadn't arrived--we had already devoured them! The rest of the staff was equally impressive, constantly clearing and resetting tables to keep everything moving smoothly. Just be aware that Quarterdeck automatically adds a 20% gratuity to the bill. Overall, this was an outstanding experience. Great seafood, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu--and, of course, order more crabs.

    Located in Arlington, VA, Quarterdeck is a local seafood restaurant that serves American and Seafood fare year round. Seasonally, they serve Maryland blue crabs, and staff are able to show you how to crack them if you need help learning. Hours are 11:30am - 11:30 pm daily. Some of our favorites included: *bloody Mary *margarita *beer *crabcakes *hush puppies *Mac & cheese *oysters *jerk catfish *fish filet sandwich

    One of those places you probably wouldn't know about unless you're from the area or somebody puts you on. We sat outside and the crabs were JUMBO and sweet- came out so fresh they were almost too hot to eat . Shrimp was good and everything was cooked just right. Prices were actually pretty reasonable for the amount and size of the crabs, especially compared to what we're used to. Good seasoning, butter and a cold beer--can't really ask for much more. Definitely a hidden gem.... What I submitted

    Great shrimp, excellent onion rings.

    Fun, friendly place that has been in Arlington forever. Always great crabs and crab cakes with Maryland crab and absolutely no filler. Shrimp are great too--probably farmed, forgot to ask. Excellent onion rings and I'm picky about those. Very hard to give good onion rings anymore. Has outdoor space too. Will cover it with sides during in climate weather. Must go at least once. It's kind of an institution.

    Crab dip, lots of blue crabs

    Fresh blue crabs & quality food. Hubby & I arrived before the dinner rush on a Sunday 3:30pm. We love the pretty tall slender Asian Lady, always greets us w/a smile, professional & attentive during our meals. Today, we ordered the Large crabs, crab dip w/naan bread, 2 bowls of clam chowder & hush puppies. I would have given 5 but the crabs looked medium & not the large we paid for. Total came to $156.00.

    Heather H.

    If I had better service I'd given my review 5 stars but Trish was horrible she never checked on us every time we needed something I had to flag someone down to ask for help She didn't provide the little things napkins butter for crabs etc We had to ask for everything except water My first drink took literally 30 min and she did take it off the bill but her service was very poor However the crabs were amazing amazing amazing

    I've been coming to Quarterdeck for years! Not much has changed. Grew up picking blue crabs as a kid and always have to visit when I'm in town. Full, heavy, salty.

    We stopped for dinner at Quarterdeck and were pleasantly surprised. The service was outstanding--Cat was incredibly knowledgeable and so patient with us while we decided what to order since it was our first visit. The hush puppies were the biggest surprise--they were absolutely delicious. The macaroni and cheese was fantastic, the corn on the cob was amazing, and the fries were very good. I didn't try the crab cake myself, but everyone else at our table said it was excellent. I also ordered the steak. While it was a little overcooked for my liking, it was still enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend Quarterdeck to anyone visiting the Washington, DC area. The friendly service and great food definitely made it a place I'd come back to.

    If you've ever been here or tried to go, then you know this is a decent spot because the reservations are always gone. This visit, I got there around 7p and was told they weren't accepting any more walk-ins for the day. Luckily, I was able to secure a spot at the bar. Note: I really do think Quarterdeck needs to work on their service staff training. I'm not saying something bad but the staff visibly need work. Just an example: I came into the bar area and asked a patron if the open seat was taken. The bartender responded telling me that it was taken. I noticed him half glance down the bar (at an open seat) but he didn't say anything. I also watched him see me walk near the open seat to peek at if anyone was sitting there & he still didn't say a word, knowing I was looking for a seat. I then asked the people nearby if the seat was taken but I just feel like if you inserted yourself to inform me that the one seat was taken, you could have advised me that the other seat was open instead of watching me go through the motions. Additionally, not sure if the lady bartender was overwhelmed or what but I was for sure not feeling that vibe. So just little things like that when considering customers in a service environment. Crabs - XL Crab stuffed mushrooms The mushrooms were decent but they just need a liiiiiittle more seasoning in the mix and they'd exceed expectations. Now, I've always enjoyed Quarterdeck because the crabs are usually consistently good, which is why this experience was so disappointing. The experience itself wasn't the problem. It was the after effect. The crabs themselves were great but the butter was questionable. It seemed more of an oil-based concoction rather than just real melted butter. Unfortunately, after eating, I became pretty sick. Had me running straight to the toilet. I can't say for certain what caused it, but the "butter" was the only thing that stood out. So I'm 99.9% confident that was the culprit. I hope the restaurant takes a look at it because I do really like QD and I don't want other people running to the toilet like I was from something I wasn't supposed to consume. I'm leaving this review because I know how good this place can be, and I'd love to see them get back to the quality that made me a repeat customer in the first place.

    Came on a hot day- would not recommend sitting outside if it's hot and you plan on doing the crabs. It took awhile to open and eat them, the large crabs seemed medium ish and they didn't taste super fresh. Crab dip was very cheesy but good with the naan.

    Large blue crabs

    First off, the service here was amazing. The server was kind and helpful. They made my family super comfortable and they were knowledgeable! We went on Black Friday just before the dinner rush and had really great crabs. They brought us buckets and crab mallets to make our adventure a little easier! They were packed with flavor, but were slightly overcooked. We were short a crab, but we never mentioned it. At the time we got to the end it was so filling we didn't even bother. It was my niece and nephews first time having a Maryland style crab picking session. We also got the Mac and cheese (which I have to admit was way too oily), and I forgot to get a photo. We also got salads, which were pretty standard salads. As for the location, it is hidden away on a small hillside in the suburbs of DC. There isn't a ton of parking. The restaurant is unassuming. It was frigid outside, but both the "indoor" patio, with heaters was warm, and inside the restaurant. The interior is a bit "cafe" ish, with standard 2-4-6 top tables. I would say they couldn't fit more than 100 people in these two rooms at once. But don't fret, there is an additional basement and bar area! The bathrooms are downstairs on the bottom floor, so this may be something to consider if you have anyone with special needs who cannot get up and down stairs. Overall, we will definitely go back, and appreciate the space and the food. It's pretty wonderful for a quaint crab house! I've already recommended it to other folks!

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!

I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.

I was surprised by how empty it was for a holiday evening, actually just as strange by how vacant and empty the whole area was. This used to be a very busy area. I started with a White Russian milkshake and it was quite good. Again, that happy hour pricing really made it worth it. My meal was the chicken and biscuits. Large biscuits, fresh, with a little honey and hot drizzle. The hash browns were a tad dry and didn't quite fit the meal I thought, but the chicken biscuits were good. Enjoyed those. BUT one point that was quite annoying: THE GRAVY COST EXTRA! The server tried to upsell me with the sausage gravy (+$3) but when I asked if that cost extra he demurred and said it was just something they asked. He wouldn't actually confirm that. Not cool. I don't like being upsold like it's McDonalds. Eating off my friend's plate I also liked the french fries that came with his steak and cheese sandwich. We also had the cornbread appetizer. Again, if not for that happy hour pricing.. Cornbread is uber cheap so getting four fingers of cornbread felt.. well.. not quite a value match. Service was a little hit or miss. We had a lot of people helping us it seemed, kind of a divided table. Everything is there but I'm just not used to the inflation pricing. Milkshake, cornbread, and the chicken and biscuits, with 20% tip, came out to over $40. This kind of food, at this level of service, .. I feel like I was overcharged or not given the happy hour pricing on something. This just didn't feel like $40 for one person. And they want to do everything on the machine and you don't actually get a paper receipt or a bill unless you ask for one. Which you should. I guess bottom line: Ted's is expensive for it's class and offerings, so it makes a good date spot, but for regular eating out I think there are places better priced.

So, I ordered the regular Arctic char from the regular menu and my friend ordered the special menu for restaurant week. His gazpacho was the best I ever tasted! I believe it even had chunks of shrimp in it with scallions on top that added a nice crunch. Sadly, it's not on the regular menu. He too got the Arctic Char for his entree. The Arctic Char was delicious and the grains underneath with vegetables was yummy. There were small dollops of a wonderful mayonnaise type sauce that was perfect! I would definitely order that again. (The Arctic chart that came with the restaurant week menu was clearly smaller than my regular menu item. This is why I don't care for restaurant week. This is not a slight against the restaurant, all restaurants do this.) I asked for bread and they brought out some yummy Parker rolls baked in a little skillet with old bay butter. They were piping hot and just perfectly fluffy on the inside. They charge six dollars for it. This is a minor issue-- I probably wouldn't charge more than five dollars. Most restaurants don't offer bread at all anymore and if they do--they charge. They really should mention that they charge for the bread when customers asked for it. My friend chose strawberry ice cream for his dessert included in the restaurant week menu. It was just okay, but what can you expect? It was just ice cream. I ordered a wonderful special bourbon old-fashioned--it was delicious. He got a beer which was quite pricey at $13 for a beer. That seems a bit high. We had a wonderful waitress. Her name is Chante. She was delightful and added to our great experience. We sat outside under the cover because it was such a beautiful night we wanted to eat outside. The bar was really hopping and loud. The restaurant decor is very cute with a French bistro style. This restaurant is close to the Ballston Mall. If you can't find street parking, which is usually tight, just go into the mall garage. I will definitely be going back.

I knew it was a good option for watching the game, but I didn't realize everybody else knew too .

I think I got those right, but wow what a feast! Yeah, I didn't take a pic, I'm sorry lol. The cheapest cocktails were $6, but others ranged from $8-12, so not bad at all.

WARNING-- if you're planning to order wings--just know that you only get 6 for $18 because the count isn't listed on the menu. I felt like I was taken advantage of because that's RIDICULOUS!!! I've never been charged that much for party wings, even at upscale restaurants.When my wings were sat down in a tiny bowl, I was livid.....I felt like it was highway robbery and definitely not worth the price. The only cool thing about this place was the free Photo Booth I noticed when leaving. It was free to take videos and pictures then send to your phone via text messages. I wouldn't recommend the food or drinks here because the price gouging is insane and there are way better places to eat and drink in the area. Also, there wasn't a Dj present because I kept hearing the same songs being played as if there was a playlist being played from a device of some sort. On a good note --the restrooms were pretty clean and they have board games to play on the first level where you enter at. It was ok, but I highly doubt I'd return.

    On yesterday's episode of Exploring New Lunch Spots in Arlington, my partner-in-crime and I were…read morecraving burgers and needed a little break from the office. We decided to check out All About Burger and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is located in the former Z-Burger space. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to try Z-Burger so I can't compare the two but I can say that All About Burger definitely delivered when it came to satisfying our burger craving. Now before anyone judges me... yes, I ordered the turkey burger. As my fellow turkey burger lovers know they can be very hit or miss. Too often they end up dry, bland, and tasting like seasoned cardboard. Thankfully that was not the case here. The turkey patty was juicy, flavorful and very well seasoned. One thing I really appreciated was the variety of toppings available. Whether you're a traditional burger fan or someone who likes to load up on extras there's something for everyone. We also shared an order of fries and onion rings. Maybe it's because I haven't had onion rings in a while but they were especially good. Dipping them into the side of AAB Sauce which I think is their take on a Big Mac-style sauce took them to another level. Very tasty! Overall, we had a great lunch experience and left happy, full, and ready to tackle the rest of the workday. I'll definitely be back the next time a burger craving hits.

Sad to report this is at the bottom of the totem pole compared to places like Big Buns and Jon's Joint. The cheeseburger was just ok. Nothing to write home about and given the price I felt a bit ripped off. The fries were good. But not sure I feel compelled to go back.
