Drift Seafood
Drift Seafood has a new Brunch & Lunch Menu! Available weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Enjoy items like Smoked Salmon Toast and Crab Cakes Benedict!
Drift Seafood Restaurant originally opened Friday April 12, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
The Drift Seafood name is kind of a tip of the hat to Colonial Beach High School's "Drifter" sports teams name. Though their mascot is a Pirate and their logo sports a pirate ship, they are known as the Drifters for whatever reason.
This, one of the newest restaurants on the Boardwalk is located in the Osprey Flats condominium building on the first floor next to Muse Pizzeria and Arcade.
Inside there is ample seating at the bar and individual tables, both table height and bar height. Outside there is a large covered patio area with plenty more seating and a great view of the Potomac River, Ferry Landing Pier, the Municipal Town Pier entrance and the beaches.
It is located at the corner of Hawthorn and Beach Terrace (otherwise known as the Boardwalk).
Enjoy the views while sipping on one of many cocktails available.
Parking is available in the rear of the building and there is nearby metered street parking available. A parking kiosk is located just steps away at the entrance to the municipal pier.
Here are some details from when the restaurant first opened. Current menu options may vary.
