You will often find listings for lobster tacos, crab cakes, fish tacos with mango salsa, fried oysters, calamari, and New Orleans style seafood stew and crawfish étouffée.  The food is great and the prices are reasonable.

They sometimes feature a whole steamed lobster for around $16.  My advice is to get there early if you want to snag the seafood special.

The restaurant is run by the owners of Great Falls Gourmet, a local caterer.  They use their catering kitchen to turn out great breakfasts and lunches which are super creative and different every day.

Of course, their speciality is Chicago-style gourmet hot dogs and homemade sausages.  They offer a complimentary condiment  bar with a wide variety of homemade specialty relishes, pickles, and over 30 other toppings and sauces.

They offer cooking classes too, if you want to learn to make your own sausage.

The restaurant is located at 348 Victory Dr. in Herndon, Virginia.
