They achieve that with classic fried or broiled seafood options like crab cakes, flounder and shrimp; steak and chicken dishes for those more inclined for some \u201cturf\u201d rather than \u201csurf;\u201d and a children\u2019s menu. Much of the restaurant\u2019s seafood menu is also part of its pop<\/span>ular all-you-can-eat salad and seafood buffet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3578\" src=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view-723x420.jpg 723w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view-640x372.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view-681x396.jpg 681w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/5-Wilkersons-view.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Another testament to their enduring popularity is the steady stream of regulars who returned on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, just a week after the restaurant re-opened for the season. \u201cWe have a great local business, but people come from all over. They come for a visit with relatives or return visits from when they were kids. It\u2019s nostalgia for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">My lunch partner and husband Blaine is one of those who fondly remembers coming to the restaurant with his family, traveling by boat from Southern Maryland. Boaters continue to take advantage of the restaurant\u2019s pier to dock and dine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">While the restaurant\u2019s wide expanse of windows gives you panoramic views of the Potomac and the Maryland coastline, we did wander outside a little bit while waiting to get closer views, which included a nesting pair of ospreys and their young.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3576 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich-728x420.jpg 728w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich-640x369.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Prime-Rib-Sandwich-681x393.jpg 681w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>As usual, we split our choices, mine being the surf\u2014a broiled crab cake\u2014and his being the turf\u2014the prime rib sandwich. Before <\/span>lunch arrived, they started us off with a basket of hush puppies, sweet, savory, and fresh out of the fryer. It was a nice upgrade from the typical bread basket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The crab cake was broiled to a nice crunch and full of lump crab meat minus a lot of filler. Lunch options are served with a choice of two sides, which include homemade cole slaw, potato salad and macaroni salad, steamed vegetables, French fries and onion rings. The generous portions of cole slaw and potato salad I chose were both fresh and well-made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Blaine was equally impressed with the prime rib, saying it was \u201creally tender and cooked well.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Like the sandwich, the side of onion rings was cooked to perfection and paired with a tangy dipping sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3577\" src=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert-300x134.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert-768x343.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert-940x420.jpg 940w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert-640x286.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert-681x304.jpg 681w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-Dessert.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Our server, Melissa, was very attentive and friendly during the meal. To close out the meal, she suggested a customer favorite, the peanut butter pie, which was rich with flavor, drizzled with chocolate and the perfect accompaniment to an after-meal coffee. We also tried the creme br\u00fbl\u00e9e cheesecake, which was a layered treat of creme br\u00fbl\u00e9e and cheesecake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The original Wilkerson\u2019s started when Walter Wilkerson returned home from World War II and joined his father, Herbert, and his uncle, Stephen, in the restaurant business. For over 75 years it has been a family restaurant in every sense of the word and that tradition will continue with Jay\u2019s son, Derek. \u201cJust like I did growing up, he\u2019s doing every job you could have,\u201d Jay said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">And just as the fifth generation of the Wilkerson family will continue in the restaurant business, families are sure to continue to make memories and look back fondly with each visit to this restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With so many seafood restaurant choices in the waterfront town of Colonial Beach, it\u2019s saying something that Wilkerson\u2019s Seafood has stood the test of time, occupying the same spot overlooking the Potomac River since it opened in 1946.
