I’ve been coming to old bay for years. I just moved back to the area and decided to stop in. The place smelled weird. Not like old fish or anything just like a old building the sides I ordered weren’t fresh. And my shrimp tasted how the building smelled. Just close this business down because it’s giving the old management and the history of old bay a BAD LOOK. I threw my $26 worth of food out the window
Under new management but same ole feeling great staff small mom and pop feeling but food is top notch fried crabs an fish dinners as a portsmouth resident I love comings here I'm here twice a week
We ordered 2 dozen steamed females. While we waited I saw: 1. a man come inside and go behind the counter to help with the orders-he never washed his hands nor did he put on gloves. 2. a woman arrive to pick up a Door Dash order without a warming bag. 3. a young man arrive with a Door Dash bag. 4. the woman's order was on the counter. The young man sat his bag on the floor and placed her order in his bag. He was out the door before she said, he has my order. He bought it back she took it and left. 5. Meanwhile I am wondering about our order, thinking this is my first and last time here. I went to look behind the counter to see the man with unclean hands with 1 gloved hand taking the crabs out 1 at a time. 6. A young military man comes back in to say that he and his wife enjoyed their seafood dinner. All of this while the nice lady who waited on us is saying continually that she was supposed to be at Church at 6. Even while wondering if her hands are clean because she didn't remind him to wash his hands, she is the reason I rated 2 stars. She was nice. I asked for extra seasoning on the crabs which we got after they were steamed. After cooking the seasoning falls off of the crab and does not give the crab flavor. We went to another restaurant the day after to purchase really good male crabs. I probably need to buy another crab pot.
Ordered a seafood platter through door dash. Food was delivered on time but my crab cake was missing, the scallops were extremely small to the point were they slid right out of the tons of batter used to fry them, the shrimp had too much batter as well.
Shrimp and fish were good. Collards are not freshly made. Mine were only half thawed and partially frozen with ice still in them.
The Food & Service is Top of the line. I felt really welcomed by the staff throughout the experience. I highly recommend the seafood platters !
The food is amazing, the fish my husband love and omg the shrimp dinners are filled with large jumbo shrimp and two sides of your liking. Food seasoned to the tee. Every chance my husband gets he’s always heading to P town to Old Bay Seafood to get our Saturday dinner, he just spoke of it this week. It’s amazing head over and please your appetite and spend a little for a lot….. Excellent service and cooks, love this place…..
