Simple "no thrills" place but tasty food. While most restaurants have had to raise prices across the board, this restaurant has kept prices very reasonable. Not easy to find affordable seafood in Northern Virginia. If you don't mind it being fried, this is a place to check out.

We have been eating here since 2005. The owners are so nice. The food is always excellent. I usually get the fried chicken sandwich, but often get the burger or the fried shrimp.

Absolute amazing place to eat traditional fried American food done right by Americans! The prices are fair and there’s a good variety of drinks and sides. The mac & cheese is amazing no matter what that other guy says. To the guy that said it’s not American owned anymore, it most certainly is I guess you just got a problem on what kind of Americans they are. Also, pretty sure they are Korean. Or at least that’s what my Chinese Buddy tells me! But since it is Asian American owned now we are forced to eat with chopsticks.

When I say 10 out of 10! I truly mean it. My first time coming here. Every part of my meal was on point! Collard Greens seasoned just right. Shrimp and Scallops fried to perfection! Mac and Cheese very cheesy! Even the Sweet Tea had just the right amount of sugar in it! Prices are great for what you get! Definitely a Top Tier Food Spot!
