Our Story

Where Every Meal Feels Like Coming Home

Susan's Seafood started as a simple idea: serve the freshest catch from the Chesapeake Bay the way a family would — with generous portions, honest flavors, and a warm welcome at every table.

Located right off Lankford Highway in New Church, we've been a neighborhood staple for over three decades. Our crab cakes are still made from the same recipe. Our oysters arrive every morning. And our regulars? They're the reason we open our doors.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or gathering the whole family for Sunday dinner, you'll find the same commitment to quality and hospitality that Susan built this place on.

What People Say

Loved by Locals

Don't take our word for it — hear from the neighbors and visitors who keep coming back.

"Best crabcakes I've ever had — and I've had them all over the bay. The place has that old-school charm where the staff knows your name by your second visit."

New Church resident

"We drove in from Richmond just for the lobster roll and it was absolutely worth it. Generous portion, fresh meat, and the coleslaw is to die for. We'll be back."

"Brought my in-laws here and they couldn't stop raving about it. The fried shrimp platter is massive — easily enough for two. Real Southern hospitality, not a gimmick."
