Feast on Fresh Seafood at Ocean Shack

Ocean Shack is Arlington’s go-to destination for low-country seafood boils and coastal-style cooking, located at 2163 N. Glebe Rd. in the Glebe Road Shopping Center in the Waverly Hills neighborhood. Opened in November 2023, Ocean Shack doubles as a sports bar and seafood feast house, with big screens throughout and an enthusiastic following among fans of both crabs and game day. The signature offering is the all-you-can-eat seafood boil — a feast of snow crab, shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes, and sausage seasoned with a proprietary in-house spice blend, available at multiple price points and consistently praised on social media.

Beyond the boil, the menu includes lobster rolls on brioche buns, fried oyster baskets, shrimp tacos, crab bites, lobster bisque, hush puppies, and seafood platters. A premium all-you-can-eat option adds Dungeness crab, lobster tail, and scallops. The full bar features 16 beers on draft, specialty cocktails including a margarita flight, and daily happy hour. The restaurant is family-friendly and seats a crowd, making it a popular choice for group celebrations. Hours are Monday–Thursday noon–11 p.m., Friday–Saturday noon–midnight, Sunday noon–11 p.m.
