We also got the crab cake sandwich, which was filled with crab meat. The clam strip tacos were great as well.

Very good meals for the price. We ordered the crab cake sandwich and the soft shell crab sandwich…read more Both came with coleslaw, French fries, and a pickle. Both sandwiches were not overly greasy, and delicious. Decent sized portions of crab cake and soft shell crab. The coleslaw was pretty good, and the French fries were fantastic. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting some good old fashioned seafood sandwiches at a reasonable price.

When I first visited Ocean City in the summer of 1974, Phillips Crab House was the go to place for…read moredinner. Now, 50 years later, Phillips is gone and many establishments advertise their Crabs as the best in OC. Having not been here since 2012, I need to scour the reviews to find where we could get the best take out seafood especially Maryland Crabs. Lo and behold, just steps away from our Courtyard Marriott is the Crab Stop. It's before season so many places are still closed but the Owner answered when I called, had a great sense of humor, and happily took my order for a designated pick up time. We arrived 10 minutes early and they had just completed the order, packed it up, and we were out the door in minutes. This is a Father/Son establishment. Dave (?) the Father is 85 and his son Tom (?) run this fine eatery. It's built for take out and there is no disappointment. We ordered 6 large crabs, 1# of Lump Crab and 2 ears of corn. Within minutes our table was covered with crab, crab shells, Old Bay, and we savored every minute of the delicious fresh sweet crab meat. Look no further than Crab Stop to enjoy the best crabs that OC has to offer and the friendliness and service of these two gentlemen.

The soup was a little disappointing. Watery and not a lot of flavor. I was expecting a Wow moment and didn't get it. I had to add hot sauce and a bit of their seasoning to make it a little better. The coleslaw was good but the corn tasted older and not very sweet. The crab cakes had a lot of crab but again, a lack of flavor. It was a so- so experience. I would try another place before coming back. Too many other competitors to choose from.

The scallops with crab imperial were fantastic according to my boyfriend. While I am not usually a scallop fan, I too thought they were pretty great. My steak was actually cooked pretty close to correct (medium-rare) so that was a huge plus. Baked potato was very tender yet not overdone!! Also had the lobster and that was very very good. Highly recommend for someone who is new to the seafood world. My daughter's snow crab legs were cooked just right and well-sized. Chicken was slightly overcooked. Pasta salad was a big thumbs up for her. My boyfriend's crab cakes were above average. We all had their famous hushpuppies, they were wayyyyyyy better than Long John Silvers that is for sure!! The first time we were here service was just a tad slow, but then on the next visit (which it was weirdly a lot busier) we had phenomenal service... I might blame that on the elderly age of the lady when we were here first. Both servers were very nice though!! The vibe is pretty laid back and family friendly.

The Fish & Chips lunch special is a good deal; there is a plate of fries topped by a good portion of fried fish. The fish breading is spiced just right and very good; it was served with excellent tartar sauce. This is a must try seafood restaurant.

"Baby Ruths and Blue Crabs: a Maryland treasure"…read more Tucked just off the beaten path in southern Maryland sits a true hidden gem of a crab shack -- the kind of place where GPS starts to doubt itself but your nose knows you're close when you catch that glorious whiff of Old Bay and salt air. I ordered several dozen male blue crabs, and the gentleman running the shop steamed them fresh while I waited. He couldn't have been kinder or more helpful -- walking my Yankee self through the local crab routine like a patient professor of Maryland seafood. I even picked up paper and mallets for future crab feasts, because once you start cracking shells, there's no going back. The crabs came out piping hot, juicy, and unbelievably sweet -- some of the best I've ever had, maybe the best. They were just as delicious cold later on, and I had plenty to share (though sharing was optional). The fresh air off the water, the sunshine, and the friendly folks waiting on their own orders made the whole experience feel like a snapshot of authentic coastal life. Before I left, I remembered I had a stash of Baby Ruth candy bars in my trunk -- so naturally, I handed a few out to the kind man steaming the crabs and some fellow customers waiting for their orders. Nothing says "Southern hospitality meets Northern charm" quite like fresh crabs and surprise candy. This isn't a sit-down spot -- it's a genuine crab-to-go shack, and that's exactly its charm. Bring your own cooler if you plan to take a bunch home, because you'll absolutely want to. No frills, no fuss -- just pure Maryland magic by the dozen.
