A popular Fairfax City restaurant since 1978, Artie's is a beacon of boathouse American cuisine. Enjoy favorites like pecan crusted trout and simply grilled fish amidst décor inspired by Lake Winnipesaukee and the golden era of Chris-Craft boats.
“Looking past the presentation—which feels more like a pile than a composed dish—this was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long while. The rockfish was perfectly cooked: tender, flaky, and fresh. The salsa added brightness and balance, while the crispy tortilla underneath overtop black beans brought the crunch. Seriously satisfying.”
“The friday night crowds speak for themselves. The food and service are excellent and the menu has something for everyone along with fun & tasty cocktails. The restaurant has been there forever and it is easy to overlook. But the minute you enter the place you know that the secret is out. I recommend reserverations and don't sit next to the kitchen. It is crazy busy!”
“This amazing spot is just four minutes from my place! As a single person, I absolutely adore the bartenders—I've had the pleasure of meeting Hannah and Nicole so far! It's thrilling to have such a fantastic American restaurant just three minutes away from home. Their food consistently hits the mark! I just had to share how wonderful this great American gem really is!”
“I ordered the chicken tenders. My husband had the chicken sandwich and our son had the burger. All of the food was good. I liked the chicken. It had a light batter on it and the honey mustard was good as well. Our server took care of us. No complaints.”
“Christmas eve dinner. Here’s what we had, and what score we’d give our dish: Me: Grilled chicken- 8 Family members 1 & 2- baby back ribs- 6.5- a bit dry* Family member 3- Jambalaya-8 Family member 4- Bacon cheeseburger- 6.5 (Fries were an 8.) Family member 5- Rock fish w. side of spinach - 8 To be fair, there was agreement that it’s difficult to do a popular dish like baby back ribs- probably done en masse during the day, which could’ve left them a bit dry. I had a couple of the ribs, and I’d give them a 7.5- the meat fell off the bone for me. I was the only one who had dessert- the chocolate waffle- had the consistency of lava cake- with vanilla ice cream- it was really good- I’d easily give it an 8. I thought this was a nice choice.”
