Came back to the Original Crabcake Factory tonight for dinner after way too long a time. So glad we, my wife and I, came back! Since 2003 we’ve been enjoying their crab cakes and must say the quality and taste is still spot on. Decided to pair my 8 oz. crab cake with a half rack of baby back ribs, oh boy the ribs were fall off the bone beauties. Wife went with an 8 oz crab cake with fries and slaw. Took a double order of Beignets home as we were too full from dinner to enjoy at the restaurant. Our server, Iuliana, was fast and friendly getting our goodies out to us. Good to know the factory has maintained its level of service and quality. Definitely be back soon.

Went to Ocean City Maryland for weekend getaway. Only thing on my mind besides the beach was the seafood. The first night we went to well known establishment however, I found their food to be unappetizing and unpalatable. On the final night of our stay. We went to The Original Crabcake Factory. It turned out to be as the saying goes, “Save the best for last.” And we certainly did, very pleased. The crab tasted wonderful and fresh. The jumbo lump crabcake had little to no filler at all. The coleslaw was very well prepared and oh my word the loaded bloody Mary was perfectly on point. I couldn’t have asked for more and we are definitely looking forward to going again just to eat at The Original Crabcake Factory.

We had breakfast. Lots of options but I came for the seafood of course so I got their most seafood plate I could. I'd rate it 7.5/10 although it was 1130am. My fiancé got their crab cake sandwich 9/10 which was also another great plate. Also, be aware that they do not split checks. We waited about 30 minutes but it was worth it. Honestly, we got to enjoy the sight. They do have a small outside patio dining. Our service was great we had a 6 people. The waitress was nice and quick. They were busy but overall a great place. I recommend. The bathroom are amazing. Ladies' room men's room and they have a 3rd option what whatever you are as long as you wash your hands I love this. They do have a t-shirt shop as well as you enter /leave. Of course a dining area and a bar area.

This was our first time experiencing any of The Original Crabcake Factorys. The Crabcake Factory Crab Dip was delicious - they give a large serving that has a lot of cheese & crab in it and its served in a bread bowl. I ordered the crab mac & cheese - it was really good & my daughter ordered the crab cake tacos - she said they were delicious. When seated, the waiter never told us any of the specials - we had to ask for refills on our water/pop & didn't ask us if we wanted any dessert - just brought the check. But we did notice the other waitress had told all her customers specials/refilled drinks, etc. 🦀
