What's the "best" restaurant in the Waldorf area?

Bonefish Grill between Waldorf and Brandywine. Typical corporate experience, same food as in Atlanta or any of the other locations.

Primestreet Grille in White Plains. A bit loud inside, good food.

Caseys in La Plata. Not so much the food but a bit more authentic ambiance.



The question should be: What is an 'acceptable' restaurant in the Waldorf area.

Where is a good place to get fish? After Rips/Annapolis seafood market closed down seems the only other options are Bonefish or Red Lobster in the area

Come ALL THE WAY DOWN THE ROAD to St. Mary's or Calvert county, a whole half hour to 45 minutes, and take your pick of local seafood restaurants, supplied by the hard-working and always struggling watermen, and prepared by caring people who really know how to cook it right.

Unfortunately most people opt for cheap, which is why we have such a thin collection of good restaurants. "Famous Dave's" being a case in point - it sucks. Food there is dreck.
I haven't been to the Bonefish Grill in Waldorf / Brandywine. The Bonefish in Crofton is part of the same group as the Yellowfin (?) on Rt. 2 near Annapolis. Both I believe are part of a local (Maryland) group. Fish was fresh and well prepared. I've visited a lot of the local seafood places and most have disappointed - a few have been down right awful. Awful for both service and quality.

I agree I would never opt for Famous Daves when we have so many good local BBQ places around here. Once was enough for me :lol:

The Bonefish in Brandywine is delish!

As far as BBQ, Famous Daves to me is just so-so, as well as Lefty's which is overpriced for what you get. Where are the "good local BBQ places" you mentioned? Bonefish is decent. Surprised how hard it is to find really good seafood in area. Guess I need to venture further east closer the the Bay.

I like Johnny Boys, Sarticks (sp) and Randys Ribs.

Seafood locally I have actually found that Thompson's Seafood Corner in Mechanicsville to be the best tasting. It is not actually a restaurant but the food is delicious.

Bonefish Grill is a chain owned by the same company that owns Outback and Carrabba's.

Carrabbas was really good when we ate there as well. I hate Olive Garden so I was a little nervous when we went to Carrabbas because I had heard it was similar. I was pleasently surprised, all of the food was very tasty.

The same reason I get my coffee at starbucks and not at that lovely neighborhood coffee-shop unless I know that their coffee is drinkable. Starbucks may not have the best coffee, but I know it tastes the same whether I go into a store in London, DC or Waldorf. With non-chain places it's hit or miss, life is too short to drink the piss they sell as coffee at a lot of places.

As I said, Primestreet and Caseys are the other places to get decent food. Neither blew me away.

The question was about the 'Waldorf area'. I'll be all ear if you have a good recommendation for a seafood restaurant.
