Perfect Day. My family and love to search the area for fun new places and stumbled upon our new favorite. Madigan's Waterfront is located on the water in Occoquan VA in a peaceful town away from the madness of the mall areas. We had shrimp and crab nachos, the crab chowder and mini crab cakes to start. All were excellent suggestions from out waitress. My wife loved the chicken Oscar & I loved the Surf and Turf. Our Kids split the big fish sandwich and we all shared the oversized Madigan's moutian. This was a treat for my family and I. P.S the waterfront view is great.

Enjoyed both breakfast and happy hour at this location! I am surprised to read the lackluster reviews of this place because in the last three weeks I have enjoyed both happy hour and breakfast here.
First, the happy hour. The location is fabulous and when some co-workers and I heard of the wine special on Wednesday's we took advantage! For $10 off a bottle is a nice treat. Once we ordered our wine, we decided to go for for some food as well. I enjoyed the fish sandwich (HUGE!) and fries, another had the french dip, and another had the soup of the day with a salad. Everything was hot and fresh, no complaints! Service was also just fine.
Now for my breakfast visit. Went with my husband while we were perusing the town of Occoquan on a Sunday morning. I enjoyed the western omelet, with the potatoes and biscuit being some of the best I've had in awhile. He enjoyed the eggs Benedict. The one weak point of our meal was the OJ. It just didn't taste quite right. For the money, we feel the food, service, and setting were well worth it and would come back again before stopping at an IHOP.
Bottom line: Madigan's Waterfront has a variety of seating and meals to please almost every diner. Give it a try!

I came here on a holiday weekend afternoon and it was not crowded at all for lunch. The staff was friendly and showed us to our table almost immediately.
The menu has some good choices for lunch, namely the appetizers, salad and sandwiches. I can see how this place could get negative reviews since their dinner entree options seemed a little pricey.
I ordered the big fish sandwich- a large piece of fried haddock (the fried part was not mentioned on the menu) and the portion was huge! I ended up splitting the sandwich because it was so big. The fish itself was very well fried and deliciously crispy without being overly oily. The fries were also great.
Others at the table ordered the fried soft shell crab sandwich and the crabcake sandwich. My friend complained that the crabcake sandwich was more filler than crab, but my other friends said that the soft shell crab sandy was yums.
I'd totally come back here for lunch on a day that the weather was less sweltering. Oh and, all the reviews about the bathrooms are completely correct. They smell terrible. Someone needs to throw an air freshener up in there because it definitely smelled like stale cigs and spilled beers. Bleh.
A lunch time goodie! I'll be back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

I went with four family members at about 4:30 on a Saturday. It was not busy when we arrived, but was getting more crowded by the time we left. I must note that we all enjoy good seafood.
To start, we had the crab and shrimp nachos - they were delicious. My dad also had the crab chowder and enjoyed it - it was very thick and creamy.
For dinner, I had the seafood pasta. It has shrimp, crab meat, and scallops with penne, in an herby white wine sauce with parmesan sprinkled over it. It was delicious. The scallops were cooked perfectly, which I do not find very often. At restaurants, they tend to be overcooked and dry, but not these. I did bring about half of it home.
Two of my dining companions had the appetizer of mini crab cakes for their entree - three mini crab cakes that made for a perfect-sized entree. The were crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful inside.
Another had the stuffed flounder - it was rich and VERY large. I didn't try any, but she really enjoyed it. And finally, my dad had the big fish sandwich. It was huge - and really really good.
The one thing that I was truly unhappy with was the bathroom. You have to go through the bar to get to it - and the bar is filled with smoke. It's really not an ideal situation.
