    We were visiting for the weekend and had to try their crabs and crab legs. We were not disappointed. They were hot and tasty. I see why this place is highly recommended. Yummy.

    We had a crab obsessed member in our group who got the AYCE Snow Crabs. It was on special (we would have ordered it regardless). The rest of us had broiled stuffed jumbo shrimp, fish and chips and the seafood pasta. We all were thrilled! Our waiter, a Bosnian Student was attentive and charming. We WILL go back!

    The service was prompt and friendly. The food was not good and everything came out at once so we ran out of room on the table and felt very rushed. We ordered crab dip and clams to start. The dip was runny and flavorless. 3 of us ordered the NY strip and crab cakes. The crab cakes were full of shell and undercooked, the steaks were very thin. The stuffed shrimp were fine, the 2 broiled bay seafood platters were uneventful. The best of our dinners was the tuna tacos We will not be going back. This was the worst meal we had in ocean city

    Wanted all you can eat blues. Called around a few places and this was the most reasonable. Drinks were good as well. No complaints and would come back.

    The atmosphere was good. It is family friendly and can handle large parties, which made it very noisy. Some of the rooms were very warm and one of the rooms was blasting the air conditioning. I would have preferred to sit in there. Food came out fast and was pretty good.
