Legal Sea Foods

Food was quite good (tacos). Service was top notch and food arrived quickly. Atmosphere is fast paced, busy airport. TVs are placed so viewers can watch silently. Bar space was tight, but enough to eat. This is one of the best food options in the airport. Plan on it being busy. But expect quick service and good food. If you have an hour layover, give it a shot, as you'll likely have enough time to eat and walk to your gate. Do consider prep time based on your food choice! I'll stop in here again, for sure.

Update July 2023: Add the Crabcake Sandwich as another delicious option with loads of lump crab meat and a side of tasty coleslaw. I subbed the fries for steamed broccoli. Update March 2023: Legal Sea Foods is consistently outstanding. The staff and the food are excellent. This restaurante is a highlight of Reagan airport. Thank you to the great staff who make each dining experience such a pleasure. Our excellent waitress was very prompt, friendly and professional. The lump crabcake appetizer was delicous crab with no bread filling, and they kindly served it on split plates for us. The lobster roll was full of tasty lobster meat, and the clam chowder had a light & delightful broth with clams & potatoes. The fried whole-belly clams were delightful with a light, sweet taste. A glass of Allagash White draft beer perfectly rounded out the meal.

Greeted by a wonderful kind waitress. Always pleasant , smiling and took pride in her job. Ordered clam chowda. Been coming here 40 years. It’s as good as it was any time before. Quite frankly, the best I’ve had evah ! Had a grilled blackened shrimp over Caesar salad. Awesome Monica Haywood is a truly special waitress.

Overall: 3.7/5 (dine in) We came on a Wednesday for early lunch so we were seated right away. The food came out pretty quickly too. Petite Lobster Roll & A Cup of Chowder ($38): I really liked the New England clam chowder. It didn't taste too heavy and was seasoned well. For the lobster roll, they offer two ways to prepare the lobster: 1. Poach in butter or 2. Mix with mayo. We opted for poach in butter which you can clearly taste. The lobster was good but not the freshest or juiciest. Legal's Signature Crake Cake ($26): This appetizer came with a seasonal salad which was good. The crab cake was full of crab chunks but I wasn't a fan of the texture. I wouldn't get this again.
