Seafood In The Buff Wheaton

another main-stay in my foodie rotation.the staff was great and the food is always hot and fresh; I can't really say anymore good things about this place. they have been here forever and continue to serve great food to the community.

I grew up in the area and as a kid I always saw this place and was curious about it. Now as an adult I finally got to try it for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. When I got there it was empty so my order didn't take long at all! The staff was very nice and they keep the restaurant clean so I was happy to see that. I got the combo with the two pieces of fried fish the crab cake sandwich fried shrimp fried clams and fried scallops and it came with two sides. I chose fries and hush puppies. The food came out hot with a couple of sides of cocktail sauce and tarter sauce and the fries were seasoned nicely but not over seasoned. Each piece of seafood was decent sized and I got like 8-9 hush puppies so they definitely didn't skimp on the food. The white fish wasn't my favorite but that's only because white fish is something I have to be in the mood for and usually I prefer white fish to be blackened instead of fried. The crab cake that I got was like 50/50 crab and filler but it wasn't terrible all things considered. My favorites out of everything in the combo were the shrimp and scallops so next time I will most likely order those by themselves. My combo cost $28.99 before tax and I think their pricing is fair considering the amount and quality of the food they give you. This is NOT a gourmet seafood restaurant. This is definitely a hole in the wall so expect that going in but if you are in the mood for seafood I definitely recommend giving this place a try. If you are looking for delivery you can order with them through DoorDash. I will be back to try more things on the menu!

Maria and her team pulled out all the stops to feed our team. We wanted a team meeting over lunch and wanted something different. We got a wide selection of platters and shared them in the conference room. Everyone like the food but the stand out was the fried fish!!!

Food was awesome. We got 12 reg males and some fried shrimp. We got hush puppies and plantains on the side. The crabs were good but a little expensive for the amount given. Service was great and the food was all worth it.

Ok I don't even know how to begin. First of all lazy. Yep I said it ya didn't even try to make fried fish like to be honest I feel like you should pay me reparation for assaulting and insulting my tastebud and my eyes because when I opened the box I wanted to vomit. I ordered from Postmates and I don't know why I didn't check yelp first My goodness this is so gross. What are you doing?? What did you do to the fish that was killed ? This is bad y'all like really really really Really bad. Like what is this? How ? How did you mess this up so bad? What's in the batter? I'm so annoyed. So y'all know I am gonna give it to you straight. You work for your money you deserve to eat from a place that cares to provide you with food that is edible and appreciated. This. Is. Not. It. Seafood in the Buff. Do better. Period! This is the laziest crap I've ever seen. The fish has no taste. None. The batter if that's what we are calling it it bland AF. I put siracha, Texas Pete's , Buffalo sauce vinegar. Shit is bad. 0 stars. You should be ashamed. You deserve every word of this review. I want a refund

This place definitely looks a little seedy from the street. In fact, deep down that is probably why I've never stopped. Not because I was scurred or anything, but more an indifference with the the seediness unconsciously swaying me away. The small, casual restaurant is more of a market. Actually, I would call it a market that you can eat in. When I entered, I was greeted warmly but the young man at the register. He was so nice and helpful making suggestions, asking what I liked, providing me a menu and even offered me a cup of complimentary seafood soup while I waited to keep me warm. It was a little salty for my taste, infused with an Old Bay flavor and loaded with rice, shrimp, crab legs, corn and rice. I took a bowl of it just to give it a go, but man the woman that came in after me went to town. I mean, this woman went fishing in that soup for an entire platter.Say word, big bird.I decided on a seafood platter with scallops, whiting and shrimp with a choice of two sides; hush puppies and coleslaw for me. The platter ($12.95) was way too much fried food for me. I forgot to ask from the scallops and shrimp broiled, so I just took a little taste of everything, filled up and it still looked like I barely made a dent.I actually liked the taste of the batter and the hush puppies were delicious. The coleslaw...eh. Nothing to write Yelp about.I'm also a fan that their menu says:Seafood in the BuffBig, Fat & UglyNot at all like your mom.

Don't advertise 15 minutes service for your order to be ready. I arrive on time and there were 2 people sitting and eating. No other customers. I stood there for 19 minutes waiting. Because of their projected time I didn't stop for my frozen yogurt. When I arrived at the 15 minute mark I don't think the order had even been started. I find it irritating that their big ad on web touts order will be ready in 15 minutes, change it to 30 minutes if you aren't going to honor your ad.I will go elsewhere for seafood. Pretty expensive and nothing excellent or memorable. I got the Maryland crab cake, Mac & cheese and green veg platter. Instead I got a sandwich with the sides.

After eating, not commenting would be a mistake!I'm so angry! The food is delicious and beautiful, the staff is friendly. Crab depends on the season, but is also very firm and delicious. Good price. Best crab restaurant local in Silver Spring

This food is absolutely HORRIFIC!!! The fried oysters were very salty, the crab cake was frozen something that you can get at the Safeway. The potato salad, macaroni & cheese UGH!!!! Take it from me Save you money!!! If there was a zero star I would give it to this so call carry out/restaurant:(THEIR FOOD SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! The birds are very happy; they loved the food.

This restaurant should close- imagine more 1 stars than 5!!! Why they can't do the business right? It's only cooking and tasting
