We stopped by Madigan's Saturday evening and sat outside at the Tiki Bar. My wife and I found a table and a waitress appeared right away. We told her that we had a couple more people coming to meet us. We ordered some beers and shrimp. She was very polite and friendly. Little did we know that she was to become "The Beer Fairy" aka "Niki". And don't let anyone tell you that fairy don't come around in the rain, because our The Beer Fairy never made us wait for our next round and it was pouring on her. We were there for four hours and all enjoyed the live music, shrimp, beer and atmosphere. Niki, you made our night. I'm not sure if you're a "The Beer Fairy" or a "Beer Angel", but your great in our book J Thanks

Once again Madigans was a hit with our friends. We all shared some crab and shrimp nachos & brie and fruit. The chicken oscar was great but I think the cowboy ribeye was the best choice for the meat. Danny had the surf and turf which was hard to eat because he had to hold the rest of the table away from his lobster with a fork. One of these times I'm going to try and save room for dessert. Great job Madigan's

My experience with Madigan's Waterfront has always been a happy one. There is live entertainment Friday & Saturday evenings in the bar area starting about 9:30. which has been a pleasant experience. The food is wonderful and the service is terrific. If you haven't visited the waterfront you don't know what your missing.

A bunch of us went for a boat outing. We docked at the small pier in old town Occoquan and opted to have lunch at Madigan's which is right off of the water.
We were seated in the outdoor patio, even though the place was crowded.
I ordered the goat cheese (!) Quessadilla. It was very good.
Several of my compadres ordered the crab crake sandwich and said that it was fresh and tasty.
Very convenient if you're going there by boat.

Location is everything! I visit Northern Virginia often to see family and outside of Old Town Alexandria or DC riverfront locations, the setting here is incredible. It is a true destination and a special place to bring friends and family. It is my favorite place to visit when I am in town. It offers something very different, actually, which is a quaint village setting. The historic town of Occoquan is a real Virginia treasure. The restaurant is right in the middle of the main street of the little town and right on the river. There is a beautiful bridge over the river to look at and a charming riverwalk/boardwalk to stroll on after your meal. The town is adorable with several shops and ice cream parlors so you can truly make an afternoon out of it.

The restaurant is very spacious with different areas inside and out. I recently dined upstairs for their prix fixe wine dinner which was many many delightful courses and yummy local wines to taste. Every seat in the room was filled that night and it was a wonderful evening. I have spent lovely afternoons on the deck enjoying the live music, beautiful scenery and friendly patrons all around. The deck is especially lively in the warmer weather. I once experienced a beautiful rain shower over the river while I was there that we could watch and listen to from the safety of the covered deck. The roof over the deck also provides shade so no need to worry about the sun in your face.

The restaurant is very clean and constantly being updated. The bar and restrooms were all brand new when I went for the wine dinner the other night. The staff is courteous, the prices are very reasonable and I can always count on a relaxing and enjoyable experience there. Highly recommend!!

My fiancé and I went here the other day b/c we are thinking about having our wedding reception there.  I did read the reviews beforehand and was disappointed b/c I really like the location but we decided to check it out anyway.  We had a really good experience.  Our waiter was totally awesome.  It's beautiful sitting on the deck at night.  I had the crab soup which was some of the best I've ever had and the shrimp and crab nachos which were so good I can't stop thinking about them.  My fiancé had the jambalaya.  It was good as well with big juicy shrimp.  The chicken in it was just ok but the rice and flavor was excellent.  The only bad thing I can really say is their bread kind of sucks.  Now, it is possible they treated us so nice b/c they know we are considering doing our reception there but the food was definitely good.  We've decided to do our reception there so I hope it works out....   Oh, I did take a look at the inside bar and it did look like redneck city like somebody else said but...  this is close to Woodbridge so what can you expect?  Besides, rednecks can be nice too.   :)
