This shrimp salad beats my own! Hands down. Whole shrimp - tastes great and seems like the perfect ratio of ingredients. The crab imperial twins were perfect! The crabcakes are good. Service was very friendly and fast! I can see this being the neighborhood go to for shrimp and crabcakes. And that crab imperial!

We were told these were the best 🦀 cakes in Ocean City so we had to try them. We weren't told wrong! Huge chunks of crab, minimal filler, and super tasty. 5/5 Also tried the pasta salad. Had a bit of a vinegar base to it , needed a little flavor. Thankfully we had season salt at our condo. 3/5 The Mac 'n cheese looked really delicious online. It didn't let us down, either. Though, like the pasta salad, we had to add a little seasoning. 4/5 Crab bites sounded like a good addition to our meal. We've had these at a few other places the past weeks. We are happy to report that you also have the best crab bites in OC. 5/5 Thanks for the delicious, superb meal! Already looking forward to next year.

This this place has the best crab cakes we've ever had. Not just a little better, incredible crab cakes. Every bite has another massive chunk of crab meat in it. Very tasty. We also got crab legs, which were delicious and lots of meat in them. My bacon-wrapped scallops were also phenomenal. It's a small shop, from what I understand and old pizza place, so there's only four tables available, so keep that in mind, if you're looking to dine in. We liked this place so much, we are there twice within a 4 day trip to OC. This place knocks it out of the park.

Every time we’re in the Rehoboth Beach/Ocean City area, we make it a point to stop in. The crab cakes are delicious - no filler like you find elsewhere, just huge chunks of crab meat. The staff that we’ve encountered are always very friendly and helpful. It’s clear that these folks take pride in what they do, and they do it well! Do yourself a favor and stop in for some crab cakes; you won’t regret it.

Was looking for some place with crabcakes on one of our trips to ocean city and came across this place (and even though it didn't have many reviews- it was highly rated). Located in the Food Lion parking lot off of the highway but we missed the turn the first time around. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. There isn't much seating, maybe 4-5 seats- I think most people carry-out. They close a bit on the earlier side (7pm). First things first, their crab cake is packed with meat and a great value! Their hush puppies were *chefs kiss*. We got the Crabcake and CrabLegs ($39), Crabcake and Scallops ($32) - which both came with a side. We got the Mac N Cheese- which was the epitome of comfort food, and the potato wedges- which was a bit of a let down, it seemed like it might've bee
