The food here is decent. I usually just try their soul food options as I'm not a fan of their other items (except shrimp). It's space to eat in with a bar that people hang out in. Little parking for the size crowd it attracts. Customer service is good. read more

Good food clean restaurant good service . They cook too many things in oil however . Vegetables shouldn't be dripping with oil and grease .

Wow!!! Is really all I can say about this place. If you've been here before then you know exactly what I mean if you haven't then you really need to treat yourself. Yesterday I was part of a private tasting and everything that I tried was great (see pics). Everything is made fresh to a very high standard. The sides themselves can stand alone as a meal. Everything is delicious and they definitely don't skimp on the portion size. Everytime I go I always have to take some home with me. I was also told there are some pretty big improvements coming in the next couple of months so be on the look out. read more

You're not going to find better dishes than this restaurant. Whether it's seafood, soul food or just traditional meals and side, this restaurant in my book does an exceptional job. read more

I've been coming to Mid Atlantic Seafood for a while now but it's one of those places you don't want everyone to know about because then they'll know your *spot* Great place for pre-gaming! Lunch or dinner. Myself and a friend were given the VIP treatment by the business manager, Brian! Everything as usual was on point! Rainbow shots! How they do that tho?! Pineapple upside down martini, just delicious! Salmon balls, so much tastier than crab balls & made with real salmon! No can! The fried shrimp is beer battered with Blue Moon. Every thing is made fresh daily. Oh & my personal favorite, the Mac & Cheese Brian told us they are getting ready to open up a lounge on one side of the restaurant. If you know me, you KNOW I love to dance!!! If you're in the Laurel area, just go! Go now! They're open until 9pm tonight, so you have time to get there. read more

Anticipate a wait when you come here. Whether it be for the long line of customers or food prep. The set up is akin to a liquor store with a restaurant on site. Say what you will....it works. Chicken, fish, rib options and plenty of sides. They make smoothies here as well. I'll have to try one on my next visit. They have a parking lot but time of day will factor into how easy it is to park. Very spacious inside with tables that can accommodate 4 people or move them together to fit larger groups. They do their best to keep the line and orders moving. Pretty chill employees that don't mind making you think every order needs some dessert. read more

The crab cakes are ok, but I think the rigatoni crab cakes in PA area is better than this. But the sides are not that good. My daughter and husband don't like their collard green and Mac and cheese. The teriyaki salmon tastes quite good. They gave quite a volume in the to go box, but given the prices I think it's still expensive. I'd rather them charge lower prices with less food in plate. Too much food in one meal in my opinion. It can make people overeat. read more

This place is great. First time experience. Upon entering, I checked in and used the Yelp app coupon to get a free soda. I ordered the 2lbs snow crab with 8 hush puppies for $50, fried calamari, and four side veggies. Crabs were fresh. Fried calamari was ok but not great, only because it was served in a covered To-Go container so the hotness killed the crispiness. We got there before the rush so it was nice. They have a lot of options to pair with your seafood and a full bar to order whatever alcoholic beverage or just walk next door to the liquor store. Service was nice to us and I noticed on other reviews the owners their do care if you genuinely had a bad experience. read more

Was a delightful place, very clean with a soul food flare and an asian twist on much of it. They had quite a few seafood selections and the people that worked there were very polite. The bar at the end of the counter was bustling with activity. Laughter and smiles all around and we sat and eat and chatted for a few hours. Great times and a lovely hang out. read more

Love this place! Went to Mid-Atlantic Seafood for the first time yesterday and ordered the shrimp and cheese grits, which they just started selling that day. May I be the first to rave about them on Yelp - the best shrimp and grits I've ever had which are sure to become a staple. Had to order them again today before my trip back to NYC. Perfectly seasoned with the right amount of everything. Can now see why the parking lot is always packed. Delicious food at great prices (great salmon cake sandwich, too), select liquors sold by the bottle, ready to go drinks and dessert slices. Says a lot about the place when manager Brian, who handed me my order, told me about the love and work that went into perfecting the shrimp and grits recipe - and it shows. He's a cool guy and has great energy, as does the rest of the friendly staff. read more

Mid Atlantic Seafood - Shrimp and grits - Seafood Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Wow! Truly a hidden gem in Laurel. Whenever I'm in the area, I want to come here every time for bomb seafood & delicious drinks for such a great price. I'm a huge salmon eater so whenever I go out to eat, I prepared to spend $20 on a salmon dish. Totally not the case here when my mom and I came and got the salmon dinner for half the price. We received a wonderfully large salmon cut with two sides. One of the food preps scooped us the wrong side at first, but he was SO KIND when we told him it was incorrect and scooped us a new side right away. My parents are really picky eaters but they love eating here! Finally a place to take my family out :) My dad is a huge fan when he received a free beer with our Yelp check-in. I came back again to try more things on the menu and the LARGE oysters are to die for every time. Best place for oysters I've encountered in Maryland yet. They're huge and sweet! Along with that, the crab legs are big and juicy, filled with crab meat. I went to other seafood places recently and their crab legs do not compare. Definitely do not skip out on the fresh seafood here! To add - one more food item I enjoy would be the fried shrimps. Thinking they were like any were like any other place.. I was wrong and it was a wonderfully filled stuffed shrimp. Absolutely amazing combo! Last, if you wanna get your moneys worth for alcohol. This is it. The drinks are so well crafted by experienced bartenders. They know how to make a drink taste like juice yet still having a good amount of alcohol. What I can't wrap my head around is that the PRICES are even better! Gotta taste these drinks for yourself and grab a bottle on your way out next door! Let's end it with somehow I walked out with limited edition bottles of Ciroc and Crown Royal. read more

I've never eaten in, but have gotten delivery a number of times. I don't feel I can adequately give it five stars since I've never experienced the service and ambiance. However, I have never had a bad meal here. The options are extensive, and every single thing I've tried is delicious. The seasoning definitely varies between locations, but the food is always good! read more

My first visit to this place was a thumbs up. I pass by the one in Laurel often but never bothered to stop in. I went there after 7 pm on a Saturday and the line was a bit long. That didn't sway me. Actually, I like going into restaurants where there are a lot of people. It means they must be doing something right. I ordered the baked red snapper with 2 sides - cheesy broccoli and green beans and a piece of cornbread. The snapper is a bit more expensive than some of the other fish options. I paid just under $19 for the meal. My food was quite good. I thought it would only be one piece of fish. Once I got home and started eating, I was surprised that I had two pieces of baked red snapper. They pile on the sides too! My to-go plate had some weight to it. I was well pleased. I didn't even eat all of my food. I had enough for the next day. I think I'll be back to try more things on the menu. read more

The food is great. The selections are wonderful and I love the new look of the place. The open floor design is awesome. But the attitudes of the people working at the Laurel location...:not as great as the food. I guess they figured since the food is so awesome they don't have to be so friendly. read more

Their food is ok. It gives the look of authentic soul food but falls short of the mark. I didn't know that vegetables could be greasy... they are greasy here. The best thing I've had was the crab stuffed salmon. It's good but could use more seasoning. read more

Mid Atlantic Seafood has been around for a while but the ones that existed on my side of town were carry out only. This spot right here.....right here, here takes carry out and kicks it up to the 27th power!!! Their menu circles dang near the whole front of the restaurant. If you want something that's not on their menu then it's probably some imaginary food that you just dreamed up. You can order at the counter, order at the express kiosk or call your order in over the phone. If you sit at the Bar....yessssssss......this carry out spot has a full service bar, you can order your drinks and food from the bartender. A lot of their specialty drinks are already pre-made but they do have a large liquor selection if you just want something on the rocks. The drinks are strong and cheap. They like serving water glass size cocktails. I went with Jungle Juice (you only need one) and the Blueberry lemonade. I wrapped up the whole experience with their signature $15 Rainbow Shots, it's a pretty cool display of colors and great for a group. With happy hour everyday from 3-8pm I'll be sure to find my way back to this spot. Ps.....Order the freaking snow crab legs.....OMG..... read more

I have bought good from her about 4 times and always get fish & shrimp. I give it a 5 star because its always been hood and you will have leftovers. This time I decided to get just the salmon and was totally taken back. It was not good at all. I saw the peppers, onion & juice and thought this better be flavored for the whopping $16 I paid. It was just salty. Collards, mac & cheese, yams & Broccoli have been on point. I hope it was just a bad day but honestly I won't the Salmon again.. read more

Mid Atlantic Seafood - Baked salmon - Seafood Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I hat not to love from a fish market! This place is phenomenal and large with a full liquor and beer selection. The food is fresh for the most part. What I mean is all the fish is fresh but where they lose a star is all the sides are pre made. Overall would be back but the food is a little pricy for what you get! read more

Came here for Maryland crabs and D picked the first place that popped up on yelp. Turns out you can't always trust the promoted stores since this place only sells Maryland Crab Soup and Alaskan crab legs. No Maryland crab. (Search function fail.) Ordered the grilled Rockfish special and the two soft shelled crabs. The orders take a while despite a good amount of the food (and all of the sides)sitting out in grocery store style catering trays out behind the glass covered counters. Certain food is okay to sit outside under a heat lamp after cooking for a while, seafood is generally not one of them... however, I was starving and willing to wait and not willing to drive around hungry. But wait, despite nine visible employees behind the counter and an unknown number in the kitchen, (not to mention no table service?), the food took.... sa long time. 25 minutes is too long to fry two crabs and grill a small slab of tasteless unseasoned fish. Extra charge of 50 cents on both our orders. We asked after we noticed it on the receipt and they said "if you order bread, it's extra." However, when they asked at the register, they didn't say it was an extra charge, they just asked, "would you like a dinner roll or the corn bread?", implying it was included. I know it seems petty, but that kind of sales tactic seems a bit underhanded to me. I can't believe this place has 4 stars. Best thing that happened during this time here? Watching USA women's team kick Netherland's rear in soccer, woot woot. EDIT: I will add that Brian, one of their managers reached out after this review to try to make things up. I'm not a regular in that area and their menu items are not my favorites, but I appreciate the try. read more

Food always on point. Bar is always packed. Bartenders very patient and make great drinks. Always very clean!

UPDATE: I am changing my review from one star to five for the excellent customer service from the Manager Brian. He contacted me the next day and immediately apologized for my experience, inquired if ultimately the food tasted ok and offered a refund. I appreciate the EXCELLENT customer service Brian! It will be a wow before I come back here if ever. Went in to place an order and I am literally watching people who came in after me and placed orders leave with theirs. I inquired about it twice and the young lady behind the register would add one thing to my container and go take a new order instead of finishing mine. I literally waited almost an half an hour for some food that was sitting there from the beginning. I understand they have to also fill online orders, however, the wait was ridiculous especially for a day when they were practically empty read more

MUST GET THEIR OYSTERS! They are HUGE and so clean! It was so delicious! We got half pound of shrimp, dozen oysters and a pound of crab legs. The crab legs were pretty much waste of money. The whole thing as basically hollow with no meat the shrimps were okay. It just tasted like any other shrimp we ever had. The drinks are cheap during happy hour (2 dollar domestic beer, 3 dollar import beer and 4 dollar house wine and rail cocktails). The restaurants really clean which is always a plus! They have variety you of food here so you don't have to just get sea food! read more

How have I not reviewed Mid-Atlantic Seafood when they have been a tried and true staple in my carry out endeavors for yeeeeeaaaarrrs. How could you NOT looooooovvvve aaaaaaaalllllll the delicious seafood and soul food delights of the universe, made readily available to devour for an indulgent lunch, when you didn't cook the night before? Should I be eating fried whiting and candied yams and turkey wings and corn bread and macaroni and cheese and collard greens for lunch???? NO!...... But am I going to anyway? Ummmmm... Absolutely, if you make them available for me to pick up in 15 minutes for under 15 bucks. I love the steamed shrimp, snow crab legs, fried whiting, candied yams, pineapple upside down cake, and teriyaki mushroom green beans from mid Atlantic but you really won't go wrong with anything from here. The employees have always been nice and helpful and the whole place is always very clean at any time of day that I've stopped in. Most recently, I had to pick up a 20 person lunch order and the young lady that gave it to me, labeled every meal by name AND packed the meals in large crates she had someone carry to the car for me and told me to keep the crates for safe travel. I've been a long time customer of Mid-Atlantic and continue to enjoy them in the rotation of on the go food options that are always great, but won't break the bank. read more

It took some time for me to narrow down exactly what I wanted to order. The menu is chock full of appealing options. Seafood, side dishes, poultry, beverages, dessert a food paradise!!! I settled on fried catfish with french fries and hush puppies. The portion was very generous. The catfish could have been fried a bit more crispy but the seasoning/taste was pleasing. The snicker doodle cookies were good as well. I wanted to get an order of the chocolate chip too but, they were sold out. I presume that they're just THAT deliciously. read more

Delicious food. Huge menu. Order ahead the wait can be long. I recommend take out.

The food here was good for the most part. I ordered the stuffed salmon which was both a large portion and delicious. My sides were mac and cheese and corn. Honestly with the mac and cheese, it could have had a lot more flavor. I would not order it again. My husband ordered crab cake and creamy crab soup. There was not crab in each bite but it was delicious enough that I went back and ordered some for mom. Thanks to the reviewer that suggested the kiosk! I also enjoyed my free glass of wine for check-in. read more

Food and price are adequate.I've only order only so I have not judgement on the store front.

Where do I even begin!? This place is clearly a favorite of the area. If you want some soul food for a great price and tremendous portions, this is the perfect spot! I personally can eat a lot for a small person and often these portions leave me saving a portion of my meal for a later snack. The salmon is my go to. But the fried fish options are also great! I love their corn bread. The hush puppies are DELICIOUS, as well as the fried okra. Depending the time you go, you can more often than not expect a wait however it'll be well worth it! The patrons and employees are all a pleasure to be around. This place is quintessential DMV soul food. I feel SO lucky to live so close. read more

Place was weird. It was kinda like cafeteria meets take out meets gastropub. Food was good....not great, but good. I had the fried stuffed shrimp and they were huge. Menu is confusing but the food is good (again, not great). Would I recommend this place? I don't know. read more

Got the pound of snow crab legs, 1/2 lb of shrimp string beans and mushrooms and mashed potatoes with a large sweet tea for $40 with tip. Al the food was very good, but salty, but I think that's to be expected. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area!! read more

Also, I had their Cheesecake Factory priced red velvet cheesecake. They need to come down on the price for this baby slice of cake....come onnnn.
