The Best Seafood Restaurants In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"This is our go-to casual spot for fresh-as-they-come oysters ordered by the dozen and shared with a group of friends (oysters aren’t meant to be eaten alone, after all). And while the bivalves are the real stars of the menu, Hank’s also does some delicious larger plates like shrimp po'boys with cayenne remoulade, juicy lobster rolls, and baskets of fries bathed in Old Bay. A meal here is meant to be washed down with local beer, as Hank’s prides itself on its selection of DC, Maryland, and Virginia brews on tap. The best time to come is during Happy Hour, which draws a loyal crowd thanks to $2.50 oysters, $6 beers, $7 wines, and “it’s five-o’clock-somewhere” vibes." - tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield, liz tracy
