Located next to Starbucks, it concentrates on fish dishes. Casual with a nice menu. Order upfront and then served at your table. We had the shrimp cocktail, fish and chips and surf and turf. All good food and not that expensive. Worth a visit for sure.

Heard a lot about Fordâs Fish Shack and decided to try it while visiting family. Made a reservation for a party of 5 and wanted to increase it to 10 on fairly short notice. The restaurant accommodated us with no problem. One waiter served our table and was friendly, knowledgeable and patient as many of us had questions about the menu. Appetizers for the table included calimari, firecracker shrimp and shrimp cocktail. The firecracker shrimp and shrimp cocktail were excellent. Some thought the calimari was a little rubbery. It was amazing how quickly the appetizers came out. Entrees included pecan trout, crab cakes, steamed shrimp and traditional lobster roll. The trout was delicious and fresh. No fishy taste. Crab Cakes had very little filler and was enjoyed by all who ordered it. The waiter recommended the Connecticut style lobster roll but I wanted to try traditional first. I should have listed to the waiter. Was also disappointed with the amount of lobster. It ordered coleslaw and it came with grilled corn. The coleslaw was interesting but I prefer a vinegar based slaw. The grilled corn was excellent.The restaurant serves baskets of little corn bread muffins that were outstanding. Moist and actually had corn in the muffins so it couldnât come out of a box. Really good. Overall great service, good food. Fun place!

Great place for seafood with top notch service and gracious hosts. The owner Mas came over to talk to us and really made us feel welcome. Our waiter Steven was super friendly and made sure that our large party of seven was well taken care of. What he knew he shared. What he didnât he inquired and made sure we enjoyed our meal. Portions are huge with sides overflowing so beware when ordering. Donât skip the crab or on the appetizers as they are both yummy and just the right size. We missed the live music but would certainly come back for it.

My previous rating for this property has been very good but my family's visit Saturday January 26th at 7 :15 pm was anything but and this experience marks one of the worst experiences and the Manager on Duty should go back to being re-trained on being a capable Manager!Booking on the app showed a VIP quick line reservation at 7:15 pm and when we showed up and check-in, the Manager on Duty told me just to wait for our table to be clean! 15 minutes later and with a movie to catch, my family (including out-of-town guests) were still waiting and the Manager nowhere to be found. 15 minutes later I asked the hostess at the front desk and she advised that there was no time limit on my wait and it could be an hour. We left and they showed my reservation as cancelled which of curse does not explain what really occurred. Mismanagement and outright fibbing.What is amazing is that Red Lobster would show reservation times available on Open Table when clearly they had no idea on managing their reservations, seating and time. It was embarrassing to our out of state guests who hadn't experienced this type on ineptitude in New York or New Jersey where itâs even busier. Clearly this Manager and his staff need to be re-trained or Red Lobster should hire more capable employees.We're sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with your meal at our Dulles restaurant and we'd like to learn how we can make this better. Would you be able to give us a call at 800-562-7837; MondayâFriday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET so that we may learn more about your experience?
