Tony and Ana opened the first Ford’s Fish Shack on September 27, 2010 in Ashburn, VA. The idea was to create a comfortable and friendly fish shack like the many that are scattered along the New England Coast.
Our vision was a neighborhood restaurant with an outstanding seafood selection served by a friendly staff. We knew we had to serve the freshest fish, lobstah, and Ipswich clams. And that’s when the journey began for us, and the 24 employees who had the courage to join us.
Fast forward to today with a location in South Riding, events by Ford’s Wicked Catering and our newest location in Lansdowne, we still have the same goal. We promise to always use sustainable practices to bring you the freshest seafood.
Other Information
Ford's Fish Shack echoes coastal Maine in ambience, its colors and a menu of New England-style seafood dishes. The place bustles, and one bite of anything explains the appeal: sweet, warm blueberry muffins; a sharable appetizer called Maine chips, fresh potato chips heaped with melted blue cheese and lobster bits, somewhat reminiscent of a nacho platter; and crispy flour tortilla tacos stuffed with spicy shrimp. If you drop by at brunch, you might find an omelet filled with blackened shrimp and accompanied by fried red-skinned potato slices. For dessert, do not skip the white chocolate blueberry pudding shaped as a Bundt cake and drizzled with caramel. The decent wine, beer and cocktail list offers a pairing to brighten any meal. Also located at 25031 Riding Plaza, Chantilly, 703-542-7520.
