Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

Anyone with good suggestions for restaurants on the Northern Potomac? I know the Occoquan has a decent place...any other suggestions.

There is Oasis, the old Gecko's Restaurant and night club. The Pilot House used to have a restaurant until the hurricane flooded it 2 years ago. That is where I keep my 400ss. There is Tim's 1 & 2 which is good for crabs and Tiki bar. There is also a place called Gilligan's which has a good band there on Memorial Day Weekend.

Where are you located at and what model boat do you have?

I've got a 292 that I keep at Ft Belvoir in Alexandria. Belvoir is on drouge creek which is fine other than being a bit shallow at low tide...they're dredging this fall.

We do most of our boating between Old Town and Quantico, time on the water is better than time towing to the water. Especially these days when a day on the water a week is pretty stellar.

Do you have Lat/Longs for the restaurants? I'm geeking out with the GPS. Never know when we'll feel the need after a good day on the water.

I'm not sure about the Northern part, but there is always Capt Billy's at popes creek. I didnt like the food at Tim's but the drinks were good...Rob

That is Jason Moffitts boat. It is one cool boat.

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

Sure is, they are supposedly going to dredge the sound, the silt is bad end of our pier at low tide can gut under 2 feet, he either wasnt sure what pier he was looking for, or had to move cuz it was too shallow.

Head straight south to Fairview Beach.

Its not fantastic, but a LOT of us hang out there on the weekends.

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

Thanks for all the suggestions. We may try Tim's this w/e...looks like good weather for a change!

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

There will be a few on the Potomac this weekend, but many of us will be at the Smith Mountain Lake Poker Run. I am leaving at 0:Dark:30 tomorrow morning for the lake. Look for Monsoon (37AT) in the next few weeks.

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

Capt Billy's was good the last time I was there.

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

So, why didn't you stop by? We watched Jason go by the house Sunday afternoon. Hard to miss that boat!! :D

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

I forgot your address :D, I should have the Cig down there on memorial weekend, I may come from the south river and around and up the potomac. My brother has a house across the potomac from popes creek and he wants me to try out his new pier...Rob

does your house face the sound or the river? we are right on the sound off of chigger city:D

Offshore, The worx in playing at gilligans on sunday 29th. There is going to be a bunch of us there. I will out in the black thunder that day.

Re: Good Restaurants on the Potomac
 

We face the Wicomico River (house number is 18878) and we can see the Potomac from the house. On Sunday, you could have driven around the outside of the island until you see a really big Fountain sitting in the driveway. Large U-shaped driveway with a yellow house and red shutters.

Memorial weekend, we will be at the house with friends (they have a 46' Sea Ray) on Saturday, then might be going with them to a raft up near Port Tobacco but a stop at Gilligan's might be in order and then go to Tall Timbers Sunday night for the boat burning. Please give us a call....the house number is 301-259-4531 or call Bill's cell below.

Patti and Bill

I'll be down there also in a 400ss white with a red center named Sanity Keeper. Look forward to meeting you all.
