My partner and I stopped in last weekend for the first time since my go to was unexpectedly closed. Very grateful to have met their staff and tried their food. Will be back soon! Amazing bartenders and great service. My partner enjoyed the game and I enjoyed their unique oyster shooters. Nice to see a place that socializes with their customers. Cannot wait for date night because we will be coming here!
Amazing first experience at Rappahannock Oyster Bar! The GM, Ryan, was super awesome and kind - he made wonderful suggestions and made me feel right at home. The bartender was wonderful, he always made sure I was comfortable/if I needed anything! The environment - clean and beautiful, right on the water in the Wharf. The oysters? Fresh and excellent! I tried both a raw oyster selection and charbroiled oyster - both were great. I highly recommend Rappahannock Oyster Bar if you are in the DC area and looking for some scrumptious oysters!

Oyster were great but pricey for oyster shots. Crab Cakes were excellent. Service was quick for a busy Saturday and loved the heated alcove seating.
This was located at the Wharf near the waterfront...another D.C. place to go. I went during the afternoon hour, had drinks, raw oysters, a very special caesar salad, ceviche that came with crispy plantains, which was a nice touch and the ever so yummy shrimp and rice. It's not JUST shrimp and rice. It has so many amazing flavors, I'm still tasting it. The service was great. We sat outside on a nice sunny day so as you know, it can get busy so requests for more of something can be delayed slightly. She was very nice and the food DID come out quick. Will definitely be back to visit this gem of a place for the octopus and a nice view.
Overall I really enjoyed this place. Atmosphere and service are tip notch. I had their seasonal beer on tap and it was very good. I ordered the seafood fry basket. The flavor was good, especially the oysters. However, the portion for the price was very disappointing. Was 85% fries with 4 shrimp and 4 oysters. The shrimp were also overcooked. So I was pretty disappointed in the food.
I definitely want to go back as they had a lot of other items on the menu I want to try. The entree I ordered was definitely a big miss, especially for the price.
Satisfying simple seafood options in the waterfront. They are not trying to be more than they are and what they are is pretty damn good. Get the oysters. Enjoy the view. The music is always amazing- and the speaker in the spacious bathroom is a personal party scene🤣. Good food with good food!
Really great experience. Had the Strawberry Punch, and it was really refreshing. Also had the fried oyster and shrimp combo. While it’s just fried food, it’s awesome. Flavorful, crispy, and juicy (?). Raspberry cheesecake for dessert. The sun was hitting us, and they moved us no problem, so points for that too.
Details are all in the photos, came for Drinks and Oysters and I left here satisfied, full and happy lol. I'm from Boston so you know this was heaven for me. Everything was on point from the food to the servers, bartenders are pretty social and the view is amazing.
Had a really great and refreshing lunch at Rappahannock oyster bar. Staff was amazing and they place was very clean! Plenty of out door seating and and indoor as well. We of course started with a dozen raw oysters which was good and very fresh. Next we had the Scallop Carpaccio which was very good! Never had this dish before and I really enjoyed it. It was with pickled strawberries, ramps, with ponzu sauce and crushed pistachios. Could have ate two orders! 🤤 Next we the kimchi fried rice, a pound of the peel and eat shrimp and a burger! All really good, the burger was cooked to perfection and the kimchi fried rice had a great kick to it, wonderful flavors! The peel and eat jumbo shrimp was extremely good, and the sauce was also very good! And we can’t forget about the cocktails, a Bloody Mary and a sangria.
Started with 6 raw oysters then finished it off with scallops and pork belly. Everything was delicious and prepared well.
