Old Bay Seafood

This is another spot I had on my radar to try... well a few weeks ago, I had time so I pulled up.The parking lot was empty, but I was sure the restaurant was open.I walked in and was greeted warmly. After a few exchange of words, I advised the woman, this was my first time visiting. She welcomed me again...I was a little uneasy of what to try, since most if not all the food is fried and I prefer blackened, broiled or even steamed seafood. I ordered one of the lunch specials and the woman advised she could do light batter. Music to my ears, I didn't even have to ask, suggesting that definitely warranted five stars!!My meal was cooked to order and I waited maybe five minutes give or take another minute.I was tempted to try something on my ride home, but I figured I could wait five more minutes to sit down and enjoy the meal.Surprisingly, I was impressed. My daughter took a few bites and enjoyed the fish. She thought the hushpuppies were a bit thick, but she still came back for more.I ordered the two fish, shrimp and hushpuppies lunch deal.Now I must say I was hungry and if you're like me, your taste buds can very when you hungry, hangry or just want a small bite to eat. But I believe this meal was straight. I will go again just to make sure :)I love scallops, so that's my next entrée of choice.Parking was not an issue, but I can imagine it could get a little out of control because the parking lot is not big at all.Check them out if you are in the area. Keep and I eye out, you could easily ride by this location.Have fun and enjoy life :)

I tried the crab cakes and they were some pressed meat, not sure it was crab meat and definitely not lump crab meat. The restaurant is basically take out only, there were a couple of tables but they appear to be for people waiting on the food.

I got the lunch special 3 days in a row I really enjoyed my lunch!!! Service was amazing My wait time wasn't bad at all!!! See you soon

Popped in here this weekend for some fish to grill. Store seemed clean. We came toward the end of the day, and shelves were pretty bare.We were disappointed in the white fish. When we asked what type of fish it was, the owner said it was no specific breed. We decided to pass on the fish. But, we did appreciate that the store seemed pretty clean

Wish they delivered...too bad they don't. I am right down the street a couple blocks and can't get there to pick up. I am sure there are many others like me who can't get around!

Got fresh blue crabs here a week ago. They steamed it and seasoned it with Old Bay. The crabs tasted so sweet and the price is great. Less than $25 for a dozen of them when we got them. It was the best blue crab I've ever had. If you are in this part of Virginia, the area is known for fresh blue crabs as they are locally caught.

Decided to try out this local spot since I always see it packed. The fresh fish department is closed they say because of COVID but the restaurant part is still open and busy!The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and helpful- customer service on point! I let him know my son and I were newcomers and he explained the menu and made a few suggestions. I asked about the fried blue crab and told him I wasn't a fan of the regular crab because I'm from Cali and we have the most amazing Dungess, but he told me that fried soft shell was a good choice. So I chose the Combo with one soft shell crab, shrimp, fries, coleslaw and hush puppies- about 13$ (not too terrible). My son got whiting and shrimp combo and we both got canned drinks for a total of about 26$. We were given a buzzer thingy and told we could wait in our car and come in when our buzzer went off. The 5 minutes we were inside 3-4 other customers came in and it was obvious locals because the man at the counter and the customers chatted freely and the man asked "How's your mama today?" " Did your daughter like the fish?" Etc - the interactions were kind and genuine. I appreciate that! We got our food quickly- waited until we got home to eat (only 5 minutes away). It was a large serving of food. The hush puppies were perfect. Fries just right amount of salt. The shrimp was yummy and golden. The soft shell crab wasn't as good as I hoped for but I didn't have high hopes anyways lol. I think my taste buds just prefer DUNGESS or Snow crab. Overall- we were happy with the food. I definitely am not a fried seafood person so I would love to go back and ask if they have steamed or grilled items. If so- it will be a go too place!

The club sandwich with country ham hits the spot every time! The homemade chicken salad is a favorite on toasted bread or on a cold plate.Don't forget to try one of the delicious desserts!You won't regret!

Well, I found my new favorite crab spot! Recently moved to Suffolk from VA Beach so I would drive allll the way back to get crabs from my favorite spot. Thank goodness I was lazy yesterday because WOW! These steamed crabs were amazing! The fried was good too but I only got 1 because everyone can't fry crabs lol. The place was clean and service was great. The crabs were steamed FRESH.

The food is really good. The shrimp and catfish is fried to perfection. I eat here 3 days a week for lunch. Best found place.
