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 :) read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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! read more

Old Bay Seafood - the front of the restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Old Bay Seafood - two crabs in a plastic container - Seafood Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

We got take out a few times and the fish platters and shrimp are really good. Pricy but a lot of food will eat there again.

Reasonably priced, large portions. We each had whiting and shrimp from the lunch menu. Coleslaw was exactly like we like it. Fries were good too Very tasty lunch. The parking lot was large enough out front we ate in our small travel trailer. read more

I like the way the food is cooked but the flavor not so much. It's not nasty but just a little bland to me. I'm not an Old Bay user. I prefer Tony Chacere's, Zatarains, Slap Yo Mama, etc. I'm from NO. We season our seasoning with seasoning. We even season our flour andddd the to-go container it comes in (lol). Yes, I know all that sodium is not good for you but...I digress. I wasn't impressed with the fresh seafood. I ordered a pound of filet fish and there were bones all up in that thing. If it's one thing I hate is fish with bones in it. I won't order fresh fish from here again. I give this place a 3 rating because it was okay. Maybe I'll go back, maybe I won't. Like I said, it's not nasty just not my preference. I've accepted it though. I meet someone from NO and she said this is as good as it'll get, they (VA) don't cook food like us (LA). read more

My family and I were in town for a wedding. We arrived in town after 6pm so must sit down restaurants had a long wait. Found this take out seafood place on Yelp and gave it a shot.

If looking for an easy take out and decent seafood cheap, this is the place. read more

Once again - I am a crab connoisseur. I've been eating crabs even before I could walk or talk. So when I tell you that I know how they're supposed to taste - believe that. My mom, niece, nephew and I went here and ordered 3 dozen male crabs. We ordered them and was out the door in 10 minutes. These crabs were cooked to perfection! The meat was sweet and delicious. We were all in crab heaven! We love you Old Bay! Keep up the great job! read more

Old Bay Seafood - Seafood platter #A - Seafood Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Very good seafood to go at responsible prices. They give you a lot for your money. They only offer fried options for seafood that is cooked except the shrimp which of course you can get steamed. The only other down side is fries is the only side option other than that they are good and very busy place. read more

Got the old bay special platter, everything was great except the french fries, my 5 year old wouldnt even eat them. Everything else was great, the price to portions ratio was excellent and the service was great. read more

As someone with a refined pallet when it comes to seafood, I would say this place is poor. The service is a tad slow and it is quite expensive. read more

Busy place, so we thought it would be good. Smell of fish was overwhelming; made us concerned about cleanliness. Fried clams had the taste and texture of being made 3 days ago and refried everyday since. Too bad. read more

Food was delicious and plentiful. Owners are awesome prices are right for the amount of food you get. I could go anywhere for seafood and I would go back there read more

My Family and I have literally just crushed our Seafood Platter A. It was delicious on every level. The shrimp and scallops were nice and crunchy, fries were seasoned well, whitening was amazing and they said the hush puppies were good (I don't eat them). Crab Cake was ok. But I still give 5 stars because the service was perfect. read more

When I first moved to Suffolk I used to love this place. Now not so much. I always get the same exact thing. The Seafood Platter. However since I don't eat fish, they used to let me sub it out for extra scallops. It used to be so much food. Now the prices have raised and you get a lot less. And I'm currently being told that if I dont want fish I could get extra shrimp. So that would include TWO small scallops and about 6 or 7 shrimp. I am not happy. Also the crabcake is pretty generic so I feel like it wouldn't have been such a big deal to accommodate my request. But this will be my last time coming here. I just don't feel like it's worth it anymore. read more
