I was really disappointed with our experience at Georgie’s in Georgetown. We started with the hush puppies, which were more like dense, deep-fried cornbread than actual hush puppies. Not a great start. I also ordered a cup of clam chowder, and this was honestly a first for me—there wasn’t a single piece of clam in it. Even canned soup manages to include some clams, so that was pretty surprising and disappointing. I ordered the fish and chips—the fries were okay but extremely over-salted, and the fish itself was completely tasteless. I’m not even sure what kind of fish they use, but it didn’t come across as fresh or high quality. My wife ordered the salmon, which came with what they called a “salad.” It was pretty bad—chewy, clearly not fresh, and overall unappetizing. Being this far from the coast, I understand seafood can be challenging, but that makes it even more important to maintain quality. Trying to salvage the experience, I ordered a piña colada, only to be told the bar doesn’t even have a blender. Neither of us finished our meals, which says a lot. Given the quality and what I’ve since read from other reviews, I’m honestly glad we didn’t push through the food. As someone who’s eaten at a lot of good restaurants over the years, I’d strongly recommend going somewhere else—especially for seafood. They might be better off sticking to burgers, because seafood clearly isn’t their strength.
