Well. Let’s get into this review. Walk up to the restaurant; not fancy, but you can tell it’s been around for a while. That’s an A+ for me. It was crazy crowded, so I expected some excellent seafood after a 30 min wait. The atmosphere is a date, not an issue; date to me means I definitely can expect good seafood because it is the quality of food that matters. Well. The crab seafood dip was flavorful, and the calamari was. I expected them to be spicy, as well as the dipping sauce. As a starter meal, you get a lot. My friend had blackened salmon that lacked flavored and mashed potatoes dry, but the mussels were Mussels. Nothing fancy. I wanted to like the cucumber martini. But the lime overpowered the drink, and the lemon drop was more sweet and tasted no alcohol. It’s the experience that we went for; will we come back? For my visiting family members, it’s a No for them; for myself, it’s not a hard NO.

We had a great dinner here! Seafood is steamed with Old Bay (as seafood should be!) and good cocktail sauce/melted butter provided. Ordered steamed clams (great!), steamed shrimp (great flavor, little overcooked), crab legs (great flavor, little overcooked), crab cake sandwich (great crabcake with minimal filler, perfect bun/lettuce/fresh tomato/homemade sauce), and side salad (perfect). Were given a complimentary bread plate with corn muffin (sweet and moist- the best!) and hush puppies (perfect). Service was super friendly and attentive. There seems to be a “nice side” and “older side” of this restaurant; we were seated in the older side with carpet (had an odor) and it was warmer on that side. Didn’t ruin our night, but would probably request the newer side when returning. For the food we had and the quality, the price was extremely reasonable— what a pleasant surprise! Overall would highly recommend!

I have driven by Fat Tuna several times, and I finally decided to give it a try. I was greeted with a warm welcome from the hostess. My server, Joyce, provided amazing customer service. Joyce was bubbly and answered all of my questions about the menu options, and she was great through my entire dinner experience. The restaurant provides hush puppies and a muffin while you wait for your order. I had the shrimp and scallop pasta and an Amber beer. I was really impressed. It was so flavorful, and it was a huge portion. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly! Truly a great meal! I’ll be back!

Came here for vacation and it was our first place to stop by for lunch. It’s not a place for you if you are looking for a cheap lunch, however you pay for what you are getting: our server Marco was amazing, drinks were strong and food is so tasty that my family didn’t even wait for me to take pictures of the full meal.

Oysters, shrimps, lobster, clams, scallops and mussels are all very delicious. The serving portion is huge, wait time for food was normal and waiter was very attentive! 4 stars because 4 people crammed in a small table, it would have been nice if we have more room on table.

The food was fantastic! We had the blackberry oysters from Chesapeake, VA, the triggerfish picatta and the pan seared scallops. Kremena was wonderful and made our experience even better! We never needed anything, as she was always checking on us.

WOW!!! Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. Gio was the most professional and friendly server I’ve experienced in a minute, super prompt and made sure we were all taken care of. Eve was the bartender and had excellent customer service and made me feel at home. I asked alot of questions of what to drink since this was my first time, she took her time to make sure I was taken care of! So sweet and her and Gio both will be seeing me soon! Fat Tuna’s atmosphere is so cute and you can either dress up or dress casual. Food presentation was great, flavors went above and beyond!! So happy and will be coming back.
