on the water eats....
 

Hello....
Just curious as to what everyone thinks about the local eateries on or near the 301 bridge...
been to tims 2....food is pretty good.
Is capt. billys or gilligans a better bet?
Thanks!
Bryan

Giligan's does a good job. The food there is always pretty good. Capt. Billy's is OK but the atmosphere went downhill years ago IMO when the old man died and they cater to a different crowd now.

Gilligans is better in that area.
There are a couple of good places in town in Colonial Beach as well.

Different Crowd"...like the non-boating crowd?......
Both places have good boat access?
THANKS!!!!

Last time we went to colonial beach i got the feeling that the economy had really taken its toll on the area.....we seen a few burger joints but were looking for seafood.....

Different crowd.... that comes from DC in a charter bus, doesn't leave a tip and complains about the food because they don't want to pay for all dat food dat got eaten. :cool:

exactly.

I remember when Capt. Billys had a big deck, outside bar, bands at night and a full dock of go-fast and crusier boats. Not any more.

Wouldnt have thrown this one in their last year but, this year.........Port Tobacco Marina is trying to make a come back under the lead of Mike Mona. Channel is better than it had been because of boat traffic, outside bar, and an inside bar, protected from the weather in case of a storm, has been having bands their also. Everyone talkes about his rockfish sandwich, havent had on yet, supposed to be good though.
Hired some wait staff and the place is on the rebound especially Fri. and Sat. night.

I have some friends that were there last weekend. Said that they had a blast!! We might have to do a "Potomac Weekend" sometime in August!! :ernaehrung004:

You've got that right!!! Late 80's, early 90's. Life was so much easier then!!!

That was a sad day when the Corps of Engineers showed up with the chainsaws and cut that whole deck off. Bill always said that permits were overrated!!! :D:evilb:
