Diner Reviews
  • "We enjoyed the food and had a great time, but compared to similar restaurants it was over-priced. The atmosphere is somewhat noisy and very casual, not what you'd expect in this price range. Although it was great food, I'm not sure we'd go back since similar experiences are available at a much lower cost!"

  • "The wife had Rockfish and it was great, I had AUCE Crabs. Service was great and the crabs were awesome. I thought the host was giving me trouble over my Open Table Reservation but it worked out with only a 30 minute wait at the bar. I'm not sure what that was about because there were empty tables but, it was still worth the wait."

  • "The crabs were small but tasty as one would expect at a all you can eat. Shrimp was very small and mushy instead of firm like they should be. Hush puppies were too hard to eat. Corn was pretty good for being past season. Service was Poor. It was clear that the summer staff went back to school or whatever and there wasn't enough help to serve tables or bus them. Melted butter container was dropped on floor and we brought it to server's attention so noone would slip and fall. She was not interested. We dropped paper towels in aisle to help. Took forever to get our check and longer to get our credit receipt. Drinks were empty half of dinner. I still gave 15% because I felt so sorry for the server as she was trying to handle as best she could."

  • "The service was the only stand out about this place. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Other than that this was a typical crab house with all other dishes (fried chicken, ribs, hush puppies, etc) just mediocre"

  • "The service was great but for the money the food was horrible. The crab soup had no crab, the Alaskan Crab Legs were small, the $25 stuffed shrimp dish was tasteless & the dish was small (5 small pieces of shrimp & 1 broccoli floret). Terrible, terrible."

  • "We had a group on 8 and the fun began with the online reservation. We walked to our table passing the line of non-online reservations. It was great ... family, friend, FOOD and fun!!! We will be back. If you do the all you can eat, try not to waste too much."

  • "If you want crabs when you come to Ocean City this is the place to go. They have platters of other seafood but most people come for the crabs. The tables are ouyfitted with brown paper & buckets in anticipation of crab consumption. Beer selection is somewhat limited but it is plentiful and available in pitchers. Decor is simple. Expect loud mallet hammering and lots of loud talking during peak hours. Large groups are encouraged. Crabs can be ordered by the dozen or as an "all you can eat". Everyone in my party left full and satisfied. Crowds tend to drop off after 8pm so late dining is more relaxed."

  • "Our family always eats at Higgins on our first night in Ocean City -- it's been our tradition for years. The all-you-can-eat crab dinner is expensive, but is worth the cost if you are hungry for crab. For those who aren't in the mood for crab, the menu has other options, but again, it's pricey. Overall, we enjoy the ambiance and service at Higgins and will continue to go there when we are in Ocean City."

  • "I would say that the atmosphere and service was much much better than the food. We enjoyed our evening realizing it was a tourist trap."

  • "On Menu they state that they charge $4.50 per additional serving of all you can eat for "Alaskan crab legs". It turns out that they also mean snow crab legs as well. They were not worth the $33.00 let alone another $12. My Mom asked for hard shells and the server said they don't carry them. They then got delivered to the table next to us. Lost in translation. We would not return."

  • "Other than the one young guy whose voice HAD to be heard above the WHOLE restaurant (cursing and all), the place was great!! We had great food, great service and it was reasonably priced! The hush puppies and crabs were really good! Tip: don't eat the chicken and fries before your crabs come out or you won't be able to EAT the crabs. Haha!"

  • "The crabs were small and and not much meat. We had the all you could eat special and the waitress would only bring 5 small ones at a time. We constantly had to ask for more. The service was slow."

  • "We arrived for our 6:30pm, and were seated quickly at an nice long table inside. Wait staff was young and energetic with good menu knowledge. There is a good selection for kids and non-crab eaters. one of my kids is allergic to crabs, so he got chicken fingers and enjoyed them. My Mom got the Fried Rockfish and chips and it was really good. most of the rest of us got the #1 all you can eat crabs, comes with a fried chicken, fries, cole slaw appetizer. Price was $29 for adults and $19 for kids.. Crabs were all "Small" and many were "light". have to dig a little more for the meat, but with AYCE, skip over the light ones and just have them keep bringing more! You can upgrade to mediums for $5 more, but for us, the smalls were fine."

  • "The restaurant was not busy at lunchtime on Sunday. We had reservations, but didn't need them. Crabs were plentiful and delish; Shrimp abundant and well seasoned. Love the many AYCE combinations. Check out the website first!! Great info. Highly recommend for you crab lovers!"

  • "I went with my husband and three kids for Father's Day while on vacation. Delicious crabs, excellent service and great variety of seafood combinations/sides. We sat outside and it surprisingly wasn't busy out there so it gave the kids space to play a little. We will definitely be going back again, maybe even this vacation week."
