Arthur Treacher's
Posted by: Janz ()

Hello, I was if wondering if anyone here eats at Arthur Treacher's on Lee Highway in Fairfax. I was recently told by a friend that they have new menu boards with higher prices. Ridiculous! Can anyone tell me if Long John Silver's is a better place for fast seafood? Any replies thanx.

Well, if you're looking for good seafood, you can do a lot better than those two places...

I haven't eaten at ATs in a long time, but I always dug it. I like LJS better for their chicken planks.

I love their fish - much better than LJS. I know this AT recently started accepting credit cards, so maybe they are trying to upgrade - the building is kind of a dump.

I'm surprised Arthur Treacher's is still open; but as ghetto as it is, their fish and chips are absolutely classic. Hushpuppies are awesome, too. The place looks like it hasn't changed since 1978, though, and you have to wonder how they make any money —they certainly don't seem to attract the crowds...

I was just talking about Arthur Treacher's the other day with someone. Is the one on Lee Hwy still open? All the ones around me ended up closing. They had great fish, and cheap too.

I never really ate at Long John Silvers, but I remember Chesapeake Bay Seafood House...good stuff, the buffet was ridiculous!

Yeah that dump is still open, I believe it is the same one everyone in this thread has been talking about.

my dad and i have gone there quite a few times in the past few years in a pinch when we are looking for something out of the norm.

if you like fish n chips (which i love) they really are great. it's fast food and the buildling itself is just old as hell, but there's something really cool about it and the food is very good - certainly better than LJS (gross).

Brick House seafood restaurant in Anacostia has the best deep fried brown trout on a stick. Get it with the ghetto fries and some vinegar. Ask for the purple drank, it's not on the menu.

The fried trout sandwich at Captain white's on the wharf (facing the wharf, to the far left where the seating area is) is the BEST IN THE DMV.

Any other contenders? Horace and Dickie's was overhyped for me.

Treacher's is good for "Fast food fish" if you don't want to drive into DC...

Hey now, "da wharf", didn't you know that calling the DC Metro area "The DMV" makes you a hipster, a transplant, or worse? For shame. *makes shaming gesture*

The DMV? Don't you have to take a number, then sit and wait to be told what window to go to? And they don't have very many tables. I do all my DMV business online.

They have Arthur Treacher's on the Jersey Turnpike. They have Roy's, too. That should tell you all you need to know about either one of them.
