Good breakfast place with decent portion sizes. I had the crabcake skillet which was light on eggs. It need something else besides potatoes and a small crabcake. My wife had the eggs n cheese with a ton of crabmeat. Others shared an omelette and had the 222 breakfast. 2 eggs 2 bacon 2 sausage. Usually packed. Service was good read more

This is our go-to restaurant ever since we moved here 7ish years ago. The food is good - one favorite is their salmon bowl with rice, black beans, corn and salsa. Delicious and filling and I always have leftovers. The margaritas, crushes and Bloody Marys are *great* and the servers are super nice. Like the sign out front says: lousy parking, great view! read more

We recently ate at the Crabcake Factory Bayside. Easily, one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences I have ever had. The food itself was very good...crab cakes were flavorful and lived up to expectations, and overall a solid meal. Service was good. Nothing particularly memorable, but nothing terrible either. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the dining room. The dining area we were seated at was extremely hot (over 85 degrees) ...needless to say it was extremely uncomfortable. We asked to move to a cooler section of the restaurant, and while there were multiple open tables available, we were told no. Bottom line: good food, average service, but the atmosphere made it hard to enjoy. I'd hesitate to recommend this spot during the summer unless the HVAC issue is addressed read more

I went to this restaurant last night get their crab cake special as a carry out. Was told the special was only dine in only . Looking at their ad in the local paper it is not stated the words "DINE IN". I would consider that to be mistaken advertising. read more

Stopped into crabcake factory last Sunday morning, my party of 5 was seated promptly. They have a good brunch menu with drinks topped with crab, there is something here for everyone. Our server was attentive and fast, I got the 2x2x2x2 my pancakes were not my favorite but the eggs & bacon were done perfectly. My friend's crabcake sandwich was delicious and the fries were crispy. The beignets are also quite delicious, with the various dipping sauces. The prices were also reasonable. The inside is pretty spacious with a homey vibe. They have patio seating and I like this crabcake factory location because the views from the restaurant of the bay are gorgeous. We will definitely be back! read more

Crabcake Factory has always been one of my all time favorite restaurants! More importantly, it has become my favorite brunch spot in recent years. If you haven't heard by now, CCF's Bloody Mary is world famous for a reason. It is without a doubt the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. You can get it loaded with bacon, shrimp, or crab. It comes with a kick and an Old Bay rim. The Crabcake skillet is my go-to brunch choice. It's crispy breakfast potatoes topped with cheese, lump crab meat, and eggs your way. It's absolutely delicious. CCF's staff is always warm, welcoming, and hospitable. This specific location is my favorite because of the atmosphere and the views of the bay. There's also often live music. I should also note that there are plenty of breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner options for non-seafood lovers, so don't be deceived by the name of the restaurant! Thank you, Crabcake Factory, for being a local staple and a year-round favorite. read more

First time dining at CCF Bayside and definitely not the last! We were blown away at how delicious everything was! We sat outside with a lovely view of the bay. I've always wanted to try the famous CCF bloody mary and wow was it fantastic! Could definitely be a meal on its own. The beignets were fluffy and warm, served with 3 dipping sauces. Both the breakfast tacos and french toast were huge portions and very tasty! Service was very efficient and friendly. I'd recommend breakfast at CCF Bayside to everyone! read more

Top Notch Bloody Mary!! I remember from my visit last year just how good their Bloody Marys and again they didn't disappoint. I did forgot how great their happy hour is though. Monday-Friday 12-6 with $6 Bloody Marys / Orange Crushes and $3 Rail Drinks along with other options. We stopped by one day on our way back to the house for drinks coming from another restaurant. We got seats at the bar and ordered a Triple Threat Bloody Mary and 3 orange crushes. The triple threat is topped with lump crab, shrimp, bacon, an olive, green beans, and a tomato. It was definitely a meal in itself. Something I'm happy I ordered but wouldn't need to order again. Each crush is made with fresh, hand squeezed orange juice to order and they tasted great. After I finished the Triple Threat I stuck with bloody marys off of the happy hour menu. Their house made Bloody Mary mix is delicious and they're served with spicy, pickled green beans that we couldn't get enough of. The bartenders were nice and personable, especially the girl who waited on us the second day (I'll get more into that later on). The atmosphere was laid back and it seemed as if there were lots of locals and regulars at the bar. The location is great being right on the water, but the parking is a pain. The lot is small and crammed but we had no issues finding parking either days. We enjoyed the drinks so much we decided to go back again a couple of days later, this time to order food as well. We had a shaved prime rib sandwich (which my mom really enjoyed), a burger, mussels, crabby pizza, and jerk wings. The bartender really made sure she walked us through what to expect with each menu item we ordered even though we didn't ask. We appreciated her insight and thoroughness with the menu. I heard the burger was okay, and I thought the same about the wings and mussels. I did like the crabby pizza, but the food I choose wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. I know we'll be back to the Crabcake Factory Bayside at some point next June. The bloody marys and orange crushes for $6 are just way too good to pass up. read more

I will definitely be back! read more

Really enjoyed the happy hour food specials. Grabbed a spot on the patio and had a relaxing view of the bay. Mussels were really great! Not usually a cream of crab soup person but that was tasty. Rockfish grilled tacos were solid but not something I'd be craving again. Not a ton of lumps but no complaints. Could taste the sherry, which I always enjoy. Shrimp were flavorful, a little smaller than some places but would order again. Nice service and look forward to going back. read more

By far my FAVORITE place to go every time i'm in the Fenwick/OCMD area. Every time I make the drive down from PA, this is my FIRST STOP! The Crab Dip is phenomenal, the Mussels and Clams are to die for, the Crushes are delicious and refreshing. I have not tried the Bloody Marys (working up to liking tomato juice) but they look amazing and I have heard incredible things! One day I will do it! The staff is always so attentive, so upbeat, and so welcoming. They make you feel like you're a regular. It's right on the bay and if you go around sunset, it's stunning. Cannot say enough good things about it!! read more

We always have a great time at CCF Bayside! Saturday brunch is a must, and they are super accommodating when you want to hang out and have a few extra cocktails after your meal. Love the Triple Threat Bloody Mary, but my new love is the Whipped Crush. Pro Tip: stir the whipped cream topping into your drink, it makes it smooth and creamy and will change your life. read more

We had great service here but the food was absolutely terrible. My crab cake tasted as if the crabmeat was on the edge of going bad. It was wet inside after I asked that it be well done-I sent it back and it came back the same. There was one lump in the entire cake. I also asked for the hand cut fries to be well done and they were a greasy soggy floppy mess. The ribs were the least meaty ribs I've EVER seen and the amount of (2 different) sauces on top was disgusting- you couldn't see or taste the meat at all. The brisket was very fatty and my friend that ordered it was up sick in the middle of the night. Our other friend ordered fish tacos and they were also COVERED in 2 different sauces and she said they were awful. The only thing on the entire table we enjoyed was an appetizer special of -crab stuffed mushroom caps. I asked if the shrooms were well cooked or not and was told they were. Well they were not. But still good. My husband's dinner of a crab cake and rib was $48 and inedible. We will never be back! Oh, apparently everyone already knows this because at 8:30 on a Saturday night we were the only ones seated! We left at 9 and the parking lot was completely empty. read more

Pleasant staff great food never disappointed always willing to refill beverage when needed.

Fun place, nice staff, great place to stuff your face, get drunk, and watch the game. I got the triple threat and was basically full after that. A TON of lump crab, shrimp, bacon, and delicious vinegar soaked green beans, all in a Bloody Mary. What a drink. Or entree? Not sure, but I loved it. Also shared the tots with crab meat. That was also tasty. I'll have to come back for the crabcake. Was planning to order that before I got that delicious monstrosity of a drink. read more

After reading reviews we wanted to check this place out. It was a rainy late Friday afternoon. The parking lot was pretty full and some spots were flooded from the all day rain. We were seated immediately in the back dining area that face the water. Pretty scenery from the windows even through the rain. Our server was Maryann who was very friendly and very helpful answering our questions regarding the menu items and attentive to refills etc. Having heard great things about their crab cakes I was happy to see the dinner special which included their new BBQ brisket. The entree came with two sides. I chose the sweet cole slaw and fries. The brisket was tender and delicious. The 5 oz crabcake was just as good as the reviews! It was all lump crab meat with very little filler except to hold it together. I really enjoyed it! The coleslaw was tasty as well. The fries however were hard as rocks and seemed to have been refried, and were totally gross and inedible. We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appy. Sadly, there was very little coconut flavor to the shrimp. The dipping sauce was tasty. My dinner companion ordered the baby back ribs with the sides being macaroni and cheese and the fries as well. She did not care for the BBQ sauce and the ribs weren't as fall off the bone as she prefers. Also the menu described the ribs being half off the bone and some still on the bones. , these were two large half racks of ribs. I liked the mustard infused BBQ sauce. The other issue we had were the black ants. They were crawling on the table and we had to keep shooing away with napkins. We this brought to the attention of the server. I highly recommend the crab cake and brisket and was just sad that my companion didn't enjoy her meal at all. Three stars for the fries and the pesky ants on the table. read more

Four of us went here on Friday night of Labor Day weekend. It was just OK. Typical beach restaurant with everything that brings to mind. It was so noisy that the water misheard my order so instead of a prime rib sandwich, I received a crabcake sandwich. I kept it and it was very good, loaded with lump crab meat. All and all, we will be in search of something that offers a more complete experience. read more

I have heard Crabcake factory wins best crab cakes consistently in OCMD and surrounding area. We are big fans of all things crab so had to give this place a try on our trip. We went early evening and the place was pretty busy. However, we easily got a table looking at the bay, quite pretty. Our waitress was absolutely so sweet and attentive.... Great quick service. This place is definitely run well between the hostess, wait staff , and food runners. Drinks: We went for the Crush drinks (orange and lemon) because we love them and you have to get them when you are in the area, sooo fresh and good! No place makes them like OCMD and Delaware beach towns! They also have a variety of other drinks. They are known for their bloody Mary's and those look great.... Just not personally our thing to have a savory alcoholic beverage. Food was very good. We started with the cream of crab soup- it was LOADED with crab. The flavor was good but I definitely have had better as far as flavor. Not my favorite in the area but is was good. Their food menu is pretty big with crab and shrimp being the stars of it. However, for non-seafood lovers they also have many options: burgers, chicken, steaks, and ribs to name a few. We of course opted for the crab cakes and why we came...... the crab cakes are seriously FILLED with crab, absolutely no skimping here. They were very good and their signature side sauce (tartar sauce with some extras) was also very good. We opted for different sides and all of them were also fresh and tasty. Crabcake Factory Bayside is a fun, friendly, and casual dining spot that will definitely fill your crab cravings and then some. We would definitely come back! For those of you that can't make it to the area- they also ship their crab cakes out!!! read more

We heard about this place from friends who said we have to try it if we love Bloody Mary's. Well..... I wish I would have followed my instinct when we pulled up to what looked like a dilapidated shanty. The inside wasn't any better. As soon as we sat down I lost my appetite. We were seated next to a window that had the biggest MASSIVE fly I have ever seen. I told the server snd she acted like it was just normal - this thing had to be at least 3" long, 1/2" wide (not including wingspan). After spotting that monster, all I could think about was how many of those flys must be in the kitchen. My husband and I did order the Bloody Mary with crab, shrimp and bacon (I felt forced to order something). All I kept thinking was how dirty the place was. My husband did enjoy his meal/drink and had mine as well. So, there's that. The lump crabmeat was serious beautiful jumbo lump - and you could tell it was very fresh. Unfortunately, the dirty restaurant made me quickly lose my appetite not only for breakfast, but the entire day. Our server was very nice. :). read more

As you can see from my last two reviews in 2022 this is one of my local favorites for lunch. My family of six including two elementary school children were here for lunch. The place was not packed. We were seated at a high top including in the main area near the main bar overlooking the bay. I started with my Havana banana with coconut rum, banana rum, pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine for $9. I ended my lunch with a draft Guinness for $6. I also enjoyed my authentic Philly Cheesesteak with cheese whiz, American or Provolone cheese with homemade potato chips for $17. I chose American over provolone cheese. I also was allowed some toppings. I chose fried onions and Jalapenos. The potato chips were not that salty. I could only eat half of my sandwich, therefore, I took half home for dinner. Amberlily served us very well. Our bill was $188 for cash or $196 less gratuity charged to my credit card, which I opted for the latter. A lot of restaurants are now adding credit card surcharges. We agreed we will continue to return here for lunch. read more

Greatest business model ever. staff member scams us and charges us for sides without telling us they're extra. "I'm assuming you want to replace chips with fries" or "replace chips with salad?" and all of a sudden the bill is 10 extra dollars. the great food adds a star for me read more

I love eggs Benedict. I get it almost every time when I see it on a menu. This places has the BEST eggs Benny. Hands down. Nice sauce, thick Canadian bacon, and the eggs were cooked PERFECTLY. The crab cake goes very well with the sauce. Usually a crab cake Benny is made with crab cake in place of the Canadian bacon...here you get the Canadian bacon with a crab cake on the side. Amazing. Delicious. And this so what foodie dreams are made of...and drool inducing goodness. read more

Came here for breakfast and was not disappointed. Got the most serious Bloody Mary I've ever had. It was sooooo good and was really strong. It was the Quadruple Threat and had a full soft-shell crab, with bacon, shrimp, and extra crab meat, and was soooo good. Boyfriend and I shared it together which was plenty. Honestly, it was worth every penny. We got the egg breakfast that comes with different choices and the French toast was really good along with sausage and potatoes. Parking was a little crazy on a Sunday but to be expected and worth the wait. Will definitely be back! read more

If y'all don't rate this 5*, get out of here! The food, the view, the service! They take the absolute cake for amazing bloody Mary's - the #1 across the country, (#2 near Cedar Point, #urban stillhouse, Tampa- ellas in 813 takes runner up)- if you like bloody Mary's order one here. Yes. You can thank me on Yelp :-) We split crab cake skillet, which is crisped quartered Idaho, swimming happily in cheddar and jack cheese, then a huge scoop of an amazing crab cake and topped with 2 perfectly cooked eggs over easy. For $22 this was perfect. Did I mention the view of the bay and our sweet server? The eldest child had the meat lover scramble which was gone before the crabmeat atop of my Bloody Mary!! The boys has a beignet, which was more like a zeppola, but flat dough, fried and dusted in powdered sugar, with raspberry chocolate and Carmel dip. I devilishly split another Mary with the hubs!! 6 frozen cakes to-go. Perfection read more
