The Walrus Oyster & Ale House - National Harbor

“Food was amazing. Gets a little loud when busy but service was friendly and quick. Our table shared the lump crab dip which was AMAZING! I ordered 3 raw oysters and the waiter picked them. The names of the oysters are fun also. I got the bread pudding to go as well and it was delicious! I WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY TOO!!”

“Came here on a late Friday night right before closing and it didn't disappoint. I was sat immediately, food was really good! The kitchen did have a mishap where one appetizer never showed up the table and the other came after the entrees had been brought to the table. The one that came after the entrees was raw oysters. Those take minutes to put together🤦🏿‍♂️ waiter was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The fish sandwich was good, chicken sandwich was too, and even the oysters were tasty”

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Walrus Oyster & Ale House! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared😋👌🏾. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Muhammad. He was absolutely amazing—attentive, personable, and had a great sense of humor that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to come across service that genuinely elevates your meal, but Muhammad did just that. If you’re looking for great seafood, a fun vibe, and top-tier service, this is definitely the place to go. We’ll absolutely be back👏🏾♥️🦀🍤🦪!”

“I absolutely loved this restaurant! It was our first time and we love seafood. Our server Mar deserves a raise for the level of service he provided. He was so nice and friendly and gave good recommendations. We got the chef’s special for the oyster platter and got to try sweet, briny and salty. We got the lamb chops and crispy salmon which were absolutely delicious. We also finished off with the warm brownie sundae. The drinks were also really good as well. It’s definitely a popular spot in the harbor. We will definitely be back again!”

“3.5/4 stars for our server tiffany! great personality! starting with the apps, raw oysters and clams, they were definitely fresh but lacking that distinct oyster flavor, the calamari while nicely fried from the outside, upon chewing it was overdone too a little too much chew, then my cocktail came and If they can accommodate me I always get an espresso martini with tequila and always ask for only .5oz of the tequila and it tasted more like a full once if not more was in there, maybe its a bar rule / regulation where they have to pour the full two ounces but it is what it is, not terrible just not what I was expecting. moving on to the entrees, the table got the special the stuffed trout with pasta. the trout was almost a 10 but it just needed to be a touch a firmer for the perfect bite, the pasta was perfectly cooked and coated, my crab cake sandwich while very clearly a full and well stuffed crab cake was somehow dry, the fries were nicely done though and the house tartar was good too, my party enjoyed the crispy Brussels sprouts, garlic mash, and the cornbread containing real pieces of corn and a cake like consistency, not for me though, and the tomahawk they all shared was great for some and not for others, bussing was abit slow which was concerning as there seemed to be no lack of available staff but things were moved, not sure I’d come back but definitely not terrible on any level.”
