M&R Seafood — Restaurant in Suffolk

The one star is for what I witnessed at this place. I live in the Kings Fork area. We decided to get a fish dinner - unfortunately there aren't many places to get that in Suffolk. Anyway, we get there, order our food, and while waiting, watch other customers come in to pickup, or order and pickup, their food. People were presenting cards to pay for their food, but they also paid something extra in cash. I had used my Amex Card and wondered why they hadn't asked me for the extra cash, as they had others who came in. I moved a little closer to the register area and realized people were paying for their food with SNAP benefit cards (which are not to be used for prepared food). I further realized the extra cash was a fee they were being charged for allowing them to use the SNAP card. Laws broken by both the customers and the establishment.

Admittedly, this place isn't located in the most upscale of neighborhoods, but it illustrates the predatory nature of this foreign-run business and its owners.

Oh, the food was okay - nothing to make me want to take the drive down...

I stopped by M&R Seafood in Suffolk, VA, on a whim, and I am glad I did. Walking in, you immediately feel the warmth of a community spot where everyone knows everyone. The place isn't fancy, but that's part of its charm. I went for the Large Combo, and wow, was it a feast! Everything was fresh - the crab cakes were a highlight, but those oysters and shrimp? Unreal.

What struck me was how affordable it all was. You get this huge, quality meal without breaking the bank. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, making me feel like a regular even though it was my first time. I've had seafood all over, but M&R's fried shrimp? That's a game-changer. If you're ever in Suffolk and craving some real, down-home seafood, this is the spot. It's not just about the food; it's about...

This place is a true local gem. It’s not a fancy, modern place, but that’s part of its charm—it’s a no-nonsense seafood market that focuses on what really matters: quality and freshness.

The facility is a bit old, but don’t let that deter you. These folks know exactly what they’re doing. Their seafood is always fresh, whether it’s blue crabs, shrimp, or fish, and the prices are fair. The staff isn’t overly chatty, but they work efficiently and know their products inside and out.

If you’re looking for a genuine, old-school seafood spot where experience and quality come first, this is the place to go. It’s the kind of place where locals shop because they know they’re getting the best. Highly recommend! #BestSeafoodinSufolkVA #seafood #suffolk #Virginia...
