Besides, the customer service was friendly and I interacted with a patron while I waited for my order, and our interaction was pleasant and informative. I drive by this place quite often, but never know if it's open or not. Well yesterday, I saw cars parked out front and I had time... I pulled right on in. There is another restaurant located next door, but I have yet to see the doors swing open. Nevertheless, I arrived about 3pm give or take a few minutes and two others were already inside. I checked out the menu for several minutes before deciding to order. Luckily an older gentleman was present, I was able to ask him "what's good here" - he likes the fish and mac n cheese. While I was not in the mood for either, I will keep them on the radar on my next visit. Everything is fried here, unless you opt for the crabs or shrimp in which they can be prepared steamed. Well, I always love to try one's crabcake... so I ordered 1 crabcake and I have been longing to try someone's crab egg rolls... so I ordered 1 crab egg roll please. While waiting, I learned about the restaurant's history and other staples in Suffolk. This man was super friendly and even picked up my vibe... "you're not from Suffolk, are you" - no sir. He could tell. Evidently the people from the area can be spotted easily. I waited maybe 5 minutes, and my order was ready. The restaurant has some protocols in place to limit interaction with others and the employees. Which is completely understandable. I ended up trying my food about 20 minutes later. The temp was still warm... a good thing. I bit into the crab roll... I really couldn't tell if it was actually crab or just a regular egg roll. After two bites, maybe three, I determined, this may be crab. Nevertheless, it wasn't too noticeable... not sure if I would try that again. I may have to order a regular one and a crab one to really tell the difference. Onto the crabcake... Well...it definitely has a lot of filler. In this case, I am not surprised by the cost anymore. I thought the price was a steal for a crabcake... but now I see, the price is right. You get what you pay for, but I was hoping for a steal. Overall, I wouldn't count this place out, but next time, I am looking fwd to trying the fish and scallops. Again, everything is fried, so I must be in the mood to try it, because if not I will not be able to give my totally honest review. I so prefer steamed seafood, broiled, blackened even, but I will keep you posted. In the meantime, check out the hours, because they are very limited. Take care of yourself and enjoy life :)

Boy oh boy do we we miss Ghent Seafood! We visited John a few times a week when he was at the old…read morewhite shack location. It has since before been torn down and they have moved just down the street to their current spot. We unfortunately are not able to frequent Ghent Seafood since our move to Iowa, although it's on of the first stops when we are in town. While visiting some friends in the area for the new year we of course swung by for some delicious seafood. We decided on some salmon and scallops to grill up that evening. The scallops we huge and beautifully sweet and the salmon just as delicious. John always gives great cooking recommendations and will cut everything to order. He even remembered us after being away for 2 years. If you are looking for great seafood Ghent Seafood is really the best stop around!

I kind of lost my way so I called Mr. Johnson or someone from the company and he gave me directions. I beat him to his establishment Because he was still out on the water. I watched the boat come in and watched them unload the crab traps. He saw me sitting there in my car and he came over and said I will bring them right to you. I got two dozen of the best Virginia crabs that you ever could have. They were fresh out of the water. They were so lively that they actually jumped. I enjoyed those crabs and I can't wait to get back to get more---best crab place ever! I would recommend Johnson And Sons seafood to anybody. I love you guys!

They offer sandwiches that come with two hush puppies and dinner plates that include three sides, such as French fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. They also cook food to order, including crab balls, deviled crabs, crab cakes, crab egg rolls, shrimp, scallops, whiting, trout, tilapia, croaker, spot, oysters, soft-shell crab, flounder, and more. They also have lunch specials and even chicken nuggets for those who don't want seafood. A few things to know before you go: Cash only--- no credit cards, debit cards, checks, or EBT. Bottled sodas are $1.60. Canned sodas are 80¢. Bottled water is $1.00. I've never had a bad experience here. The food has always been good, and people who come here seem to love it. The customer service is friendly, especially the lady who works the counter. During my last visit, they had run out of a couple of items I wanted, so she gave me a complimentary crab egg roll to try. I appreciated the gesture, although the crab egg roll was just okay in my opinion. The dining area is simple and nothing fancy, but it's clean. They also have an open kitchen window where you can see the food being prepared, and everything looked clean from what I could see. The only thing that stood out to me was that the fans outside could use a good cleaning. They're open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and are closed on Sundays. They're conveniently located across the street from the fire station, with buses stopping nearby. If you're a seafood lover--- or you're looking for live crabs--- I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try!

I went in for fresh seafood and left with freshly fried seafood and fresh seafood. The cashier Tanisha made the visit incredible. She was very helpful and personable. She gave great recommendations and kept us laughing. We tried the gumbo, lobster crab cake and fried shrimp dinner. The lobster crab cake was large and full of meat but more crab then lobster. It wasn't lump crab meat more like shredded. Overall it was good as long as you're not looking for lump. The gumbo was also decent. It was full of crab and shrimp. It lacked some distinctive flavor but maybe because it's summer I wasn't really in the mood for soup. Lastly the fried shrimp dinner was yummy. Good sized shrimp cooked perfectly. French fries were good. Hush puppies were majorly disappointing. They were cold and chewy. They tasted old. Hush puppies have to be hot and crispy, otherwise don't serve them, but that's my opinion. Overall It's a good spot to get some fried seafood or fresh.
