Diner Reviews
  • "We had a good dinner with our families (group of 7) at Higgins. The restaurant décor is a bit dated and the crabs were on the smaller side but still very delicious. Other than that, it's still a good place to go with a large group for seafood."

  • "Found this through OpenTable and read positive reviews. I went with my sister and her two teenagers. This kids liked their well done steaks but my crab cake was full of breading with no crab chunks. Sauces were served in plastic, disposable containers and a roll of napkins sat in a bucket in the middle of the table. Service was friendly, yet slow and I received the wrong drink. Higgins was okay. I wouldn't go back but they had a variety of offerings including chicken and beef for folks who don't like seafood and the atmosphere is fun. The prices were higher than they should have been for the quality of food, but that may be common in tourist destinations."

  • "Prices were high and food was not that good. Crabs were small with little meat. Crab cakes had a lot of filler."

  • "Crabs were hot and as soon as you were ready, crabs were there with the ACYE. Other food was ok but didn't eat much of it because was there to eat crabs. Waitress Jenni was OUTSTANDING!"

  • "The crab was outstanding. The only problem was my 3 kids wanted to leave after only 1.5 hours, so i could only finish 25 crabs. I will have to brush up on my technique for next time!"

  • "We were seated in an area with no air conditioning. They had several fans on the floor. It took our waitress/ the kitchen to get us our appetizers. And that was only after we complained to the manager.(this is not fine dining, it's picking crab!) of the 12 jumbos we ordered, five had to be sent back for not having any meat in them. The kids enjoyed their chicken fingers and the beer was tasty. But don't go !!!!! It's a waste of your time and money!"

  • "The all you can eat was great. Waitress was excellent. Being that I am a heatt patient I had some trouble during my meal. Our waitress seemed generally concerned about my condition. This I wll never forget. Can not remember her name. We will be returning I. The future. Sincerely Harold Hauck"

  • "If you want the real Maryland crab shack experience then this is the place to go. Brown paper covering the tables and superb food and service. Best of all was the price. When we were there they had a special for all you can eat Maryland Blue Crab and Sweet Corn on the Cob for only $24.99. I called around to every place down there and that was the cheapest. But don't let the price fool you. The seafood was fresh and delicious and staff friendly."

  • "The crab special although a good deal, the old bay spice blend on the crabs was too salty. We just couldn't eat as much as we wanted. It's a bit of a walk if you're staying down the boardwalk. But, they still had other seafood options that I'm sure are great."

  • "I was there with a party of 10 people. I met some of my employees and their families for a nice seafood dinner. The crab cakes were undercooked which made them runny. The crab imperial was more cheese than crab. Everything else that other people had was good. I was hoping that with Higgins being a crab house they would be known for more than just their hard shell crabs. Guess we should have stuck with something that is hard to mess up when being cooked. Also, when 18% gratuity is added to the bill, maybe the waitress should take better care of the table. I can promise had she not added this amount on her own she would have received 10%. I always measure the amount of tip based on the amount of times I have to ask for a refill."

  • "We got the crab special/ all you can eat. i would say much husband and i eat only had 4 really good crabs. the majority were inedible. don't waste your money!!"

  • "We went to this place around 12:30pm in the afternoon and there was hardly anyone there. We were immediately greeted and seated. The waitress was bright, kind, and check on us at just the right times to refill our drinks or bring out more all you can eat crabs. I loved the little appetizer of fried chicken and fries. And the drinks were a great size for all you can eat crabs. I really enjoyed my experience there and am calling that my crab house place when I visit ocean city."

  • "Don't go! The crab imperial was terrible and way overpriced! It tasted like poor quality canned sauce."
