The Bearded Clam - Manassas

Food was awesome, and plentiful!! The service was spot on, sat at the bar and was well taken care of.

Service was incredible, decor and setting was a vibe! Food was 10/10. Started off with oysters Rockefeller and if you're like me and can't swallow oysters, try this appetizer and you will Love it. Main dish I had the crab stuffed rockfish which was delicious. The mashed potatoes was creamy, plus the she crab soup on the bottom of the fish was a delight! The only thing this establishment is missing is being next to the beach

Last night my wife and I, in our never-ending quest to find new and interesting restaurants in the Fredericksburg area, decided to drive to Manassas to try a seafood place called CJ Finz Raw Bar and Grille. When we got there, we found that it didn't seem to have parking, but we were able to find on-street parking. We walked in and saw that it had a fairly small dining room. There was a full bar along the left side of the restaurant, three or four large tables that could seat a party of eight, and tables for two and four elsewhere. We had a 15 minute wait, since on a Saturday evening this place was full. We sat down and were immediately visited by our very pleasant server. I ordered an Ono Oatmeal Stout, and my wife had a Devils Backbone Vienna Lager. We started with a dozen oysters on the half shell. They were fairly good sized, and served with cocktail sauce and horseradish (the real stuff, not sauce). When it came time to order entrees, our server had several suggestions. One of them was the Thai Green Curry Scallops. Since I came there for scallops. I took that suggestion. My wife had a Lobster Roll and a cup of She Crab soup. My wife reported that the lobster was plentiful in the roll, and cooked properly, not overdone. The She Crab soup, which is one of my wife's favorites, was excellent. My scallops were phenomenally good. There were four jumbo sized scallops, with jasmine rice and a wonderful curry sauce. The scallops themselves were not just Broiled, they were done in Thai spices and were delicious. The spices were not too hot. A generous helping of rice and curry sauce made this one of the best scallop dishes I've had. We don't normally order desert, but my wife saw Key Lime pie, so she ordered that. I took another of our server's suggestions and ordered the Granny Apple Crisp, which is a very tasty Granny Smith Apple pie/cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. It was very good and very decadent. My wife reported that the key lime pie was also first rate. This is a smallish place that does a good business, so it's probably not the place to go for a quiet intimate dinner. However if you want excellent seafood, top rate oysters, and excellent service, this is the place to go.

Ate dinner at CJ Finz on Sunday night. Walked in and we were able to get a table, as it was full and everyone was having. Great time. You could tell by the laughter in the room. We were served promptly and enjoyed a cocktail before having the she crab soup and hush puppies and chicken wings in Old Bay spice. Everything was great. Perfectly prepared and came out hot. Would definitely go back, maybe to night for the oysters. This place is a gem in Manassas

Beware of the owner of this place.... really bad attitude and you can't have your own water outside when it's 80 to 90 degrees. I really hope this place get shutdown. how are you going be the owner and can't even say excuse sir or be respectful.. being harassed right outside of my own car.
