Diner reviews of America Seafood
A diner from Arlington
Oct 14, 2009
I have eating here many times and Gary and Martha's (Owners) seafood never disappoints. I like the fact that it is family run and has been for a couple of decades now. Gary is a master at preparing flavorful dishes and my favorite is the crab cakes...no wait, the blackend grouper...hmmm, maybe the fried shrimp platter...it's all so good!! They have a patio in the back which is ideal for hangin' out with friends and eating some great food. It is only on Fridays though - warm weather permitting - that they are open past 7 pm (until 9 pm), so take advantage of it because it's worth the unique ambiance. By the way, Gary is quite the character!
Enjoy!

Owner Gary Royce brings the best of the sea to Beltway-bound drones via a variety of daily soups (crab, grouper and New England clam chowder), homemade salads (grilled tuna, smoked mussels, shrimp vinaigrette) and robust specialty platters (conch fritters, sauteed salmon, fried, soft-shell crabs). Virtually all the fresh seafood on hand can be made into a generously sized sub of your choosing.
Their tiny shack off Lee Highway is just big enough to house a wraparound seafood counter—Royce says he buys direct from fishmongers located from Boston to Key Largo—and a handful of picnic tables out back. The standard menu includes a slew of sandwiches (most under $10) and mixed seafood platters (hovering between $12 and $15), plus a number of daily specials.

This is the last of the true neighborhood restaurants. They have a patio in the summer and an oldies jukebox year round. My wife and I went there and had the best time. After dinner, we went into the bar and met the " re

Horrible service by an argumentative staff. I stopped for the Ostrich burger. When I ordered one I was told they were "out of season". As a semi-regular consumer of Ostrich meat I can assure you there is no Ostrich se

This restaurant is terrible! The food sucks (except the waffle fries) and the staff always asks me for drugs. The TV's are from the 1990's so as a sports bar it's terrible. I would not recommend this restaurant to an ene

My wife and I had the experience of trying out Padrino's as we were looking for a place to eat. What a disappointment. The food was cold on the inside and hot on the outside and we found out later on that they heat and s

This is a small place with good food. It has local artists work displayed and has a small art studio in the basement. They have some difficulty addressing the needs of a larger group more than 4 but is a fun place to go
